The atmosphere in the cabin conference room of the Tundra was extremely thick.
When the six people headed by Zhang Long finished speaking, Lu Yongyi, who was sitting in the center, did not speak. The abandonment faction temporarily gained the upper hand.
This has been an unprecedented phenomenon in the past two days.
And this hesitation instantly made the remaining people waiting for Lu Yongyi to speak unsteady.
The current situation in the wasteland seems to be disguised by the statements of the Disaster Relief Channel and the World Channel. Almost all the survivors are on big ships, and at worst there are small boats.
But in fact, it is a real "fake poverty trap under the public opinion environment of Versailles"!
Just like the certain blogs, certain blogs, and certain sounds in China in the civilized era, on this kind of software, as long as you browse it for a while, people who are not firm-minded will find:
It is basically impossible to survive with an annual income of 300,000 yuan. An annual income of 500,000 yuan is just enough for food and clothing. An annual income of one million yuan is the basic level.
There are no poor people in this world. No, only me and the people around me are poor. Everyone else is rich, they are all demolished households, and they are all executive elites.
And now in the wasteland, under the speech screening mechanism of the game, it has basically become this form of public opinion.
When you don’t want to see the thoughts of crying poverty, crying misery, seeing the current situation of the wasteland, and seeing the bottom of the wasteland, the game will automatically block these messages for you.
It only takes a day or two, when you observe the world channel, this information will seem to disappear and will never appear in your field of vision again.
Instead
Versailles speeches made by those who were lucky or strong.
Putting all this aside, if anyone could really see the situation at the bottom, they would clearly understand the current wasteland.
Rafts are the mainstream!
The people who drove the rafts accounted for almost 40% of the total number of human survivors.
This 40% does not seem scary, but if calculated based on the figure of 4 billion, it is appalling.
1.6 billion!
The Tundra fleet currently has a total of 12 large ships. On average, one ship can carry 600 people, for a total of 7,200 people.
There are 37 small boats, each of which can carry about 180 people, a total of 6,660 people!
The two together have a total of about 14,000 people!
But the number of people in the raft team, which everyone said could be abandoned, far exceeded the 14,000 people at this time, reaching a full 26,000 people!
Thanks to the family placement mechanism of the game, each raft is basically filled with family members. Some rafts have only two or three people, and most have seven or eight people!
If the tsunami hadn't arrived early, these people might have been able to reach the New World by relying on rafts and some luck, and join some other large-scale shelters.
But at this critical juncture, they had no choice but to come together as a group based on the regional channel information.
As the ships continue to move forward, when the tundra fleet enters the next regional channel, it will gather the scattered people in this area, resulting in more and more people following behind.
And coming with these people are the ocean aliens from each region!
"Lu Suo, it's too late to hesitate any longer. Now the fluctuation amplitude of the tsunami has changed from half an hour to an hour. We only need to open the sails after the next wave of tsunami ends, and we can get rid of these people in an instant, or
Just put some supplies on them and let them fend for themselves."
"If we let them continue to follow, I'm worried that if a war breaks out, we have to take care of the safety of these people and kill the enemy. In the end, we won't be able to catch both ends."
"What are you waiting for?"
Hearing Zhang Long's question again, everyone sitting in the cabin conference room was stunned, and then this question also arose in their hearts.
To be fair, the reason why they respect Lu Yongyi as the boss of the fleet is not because the Tundra is powerful, nor is it because he has official endorsement.
Two reasons:
First, the Tundra has the firepower of modern civilized society. Although we don’t know how much ammunition it has, it can be the foundation for the fleet’s comeback at critical moments.
And everyone is not a fool, and they naturally know that whoever has a bigger fist in the wasteland will have a stronger voice.
Even if Lu Yongyi himself does not take the position, and others rush to become the boss of the fleet, Lu Yongyi's opinions must still be considered when doing things. It is equivalent to being a puppet boss and has no meaning at all.
Secondly, Lu Yongyi is a very tough person who acts in a thunderous manner. He does not talk about the humility of the Chinese people, nor does he talk about the gentleness of "Tai Chi". The principle is the principle and the law is the law.
When the fleet gathered on the first day, there was a foreigner's boat that deliberately wanted to use its own boat to be bigger and squeeze into the center. At that time, Lu Yongyi stood up and set the rules.
Those who obey orders, stay; those who don't obey orders, get out!
This seemed dictatorial and overbearing, but in fact it was an act of protecting everyone's interests. Although he forced the ship away, it left a deep impression on everyone.
With such a person as the boss of the fleet, everyone feels very relieved!
Previously, regarding the fate of the raft fleet behind him, Lu Yongyi rejected all opinions and directly made the decision that these people must be protected.
Although the captains below had some complaints about Lu Yongyi's behavior at that time, considering that they were all compatriots and the current situation was not that bad, no one dared to question it.
But now, due to word of mouth among all the raft teams, more and more raft warriors have gathered. After the number surged to 4,000 in one day, these people had to bite the bullet and stand up for the sake of their own lives.
Of course, this is a decision with no right or wrong.
Whether you keep these people or abandon these people, under the current situation in the wasteland, it is not considered "guilty".
Even with their instigation, even if Lu Yongyi decided to abandon him, the blame would not be placed on him at all. He could just dump it on people like Zhang Long.
but.
Sitting in the middle of everyone, Lu Yongyi, who was the focus of everyone's attention, kept his mouth pursed from beginning to end, staring closely at the data on the central table.
There was no anxiety or embarrassment on his face.
It seemed that he didn't even hear everyone's suggestions.
But under the table where everyone could see, his fists were clenched tightly, letting everyone know that he was not at peace inside.
If the situation is not really at its most critical, it will be a slow death if you don't abandon it.
No one is willing to abandon his compatriots, and his conscience condemns him every night.
To be the captain of a big ship, there must be no mediocre people. They must have their own personality charm, their own means and their own strength.
It's a pity that the beasts like the ocean aliens won't show any mercy when attacking because of their human form.
After taking the raft team, the relationship between victory and defeat will not be reversed, and the victory of the alien race is still inevitable.
But no matter what, looking at Lu Yongyi's appearance, no one urged him any more, and everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts at this time.
Even Zhang Long, who had spoken out before, now let out a long sigh in his heart.
What a pity.
If today is the last day of the tsunami, it goes without saying that no one will choose to abandon these "poor people" even if it means fighting to the death.
But now, it is only the third day of the tsunami.
Apart from today, there are still three full days waiting for everyone. According to the current increasing trend, after these three days, the number of rafts will directly exceed 10,000, or even 15,000.
The number of people in the entire fleet will also exceed the terrifying 100,000.
In such a formation, unless all large and small ships have fire weapons and sufficient ammunition, there will never be a second possibility under the impact of the aliens.
unless
A miracle happens!
"Lu Suo, we all understand your difficulties and worries. We are also human beings, and our hearts are made of flesh, not animals!"
"Brothers obey you, and so do I!"
"You make up your mind, we'll do it after you decide!"
"Yes, Lu Suo, just give us a message. If you say wait, we will wait. If you say abandon me, I will go out and be this evil person. Even in battle, it is not impossible to fight!"
"You make up your mind, brothers will definitely not make it difficult for you!"
The solemn atmosphere in the conference room lasted for more than ten minutes.
After seeing Lu Yongyi's clenched fists begin to tremble, the remaining captains who had not spoken finally couldn't help but stood up.
But this time, several people headed by Zhang Long also nodded, stood up and chose to join the ranks.
But sitting in the middle, after being "forced into the palace" by more than a dozen people, Lu Yongyi still maintained his previous unmoving posture.
However, in his mouth, he spit out five words that made everyone stunned:
"Wait, wait!"
"Gonggong, maintain the cruising speed, turn on the high-power scanning mode of the Fire King, and the full-frequency scanning of the sonar to scan for objects."
“Draw up biological and energy responses!”
I don’t know about the tundra fleet on the other side of the ocean and these entanglements in the conference room.
On the Hope, from seven o'clock to eleven thirty, Somo was "resurrected" again in just four hours!
As soon as he woke up, the first thing Sumo did was to instruct Gonggong to activate the firepower king and sonar scanning in specific directions.
After giving the instructions, Sumo got up from the bed directly. He did not go to wash up or eat, nor did he check the daily report given by the system at eight o'clock. Instead, he picked up the notebook on the table and began to write eloquently.
Before going to bed, Soma was pushed to 70% of the situation in the wasteland and the alien race's plans.
And in the light sleep dream of just twenty minutes after deep sleep, with the help of inspiration that came from nowhere, the progress of the entire plan skyrocketed by half a percent again, reaching a full 75%.
Relying on this 75% progress, although it is still impossible to accurately give the real plans of the land aliens and ocean aliens, Sumo suddenly figured out a crucial point!
