Great Power Technology

As expected, Ye Zhou's location is an isolated island. He is located right on top of the pillar on the next floor. The collapsed ground separates him from others by more than ten meters, and the other party cannot pass through any effective means. Approach him quickly.

The guards threatened him as soon as they discovered this situation. However, Ye Zhou's conditions were also very simple:

If he lives, food can be provided to the few big fish that are still alive when they are about to come out of the ruins on the next level. But if he dies, the pile of food will fall into the collapse behind him that no one can reach quickly. in the ruins, and the various chemical liquids accumulated in the ruins will contaminate these foods with severe poison.

No one dared to act rashly, especially after Ye Zhou demonstratively threw down a small portion of food.

Half of the food cart was already hanging in the air, and Ye Zhou was sitting in front of the cart. If he were shot, the impact would push the food into the abyss.

Relying on this arrangement, Ye Zhou easily survived until the next day and saw those big fish in suits and ties.

The other party's expression was a little unkind. They couldn't figure out how Ye Zhou could predict the air raid in advance without even giving them any warning. They couldn't figure out when this madman who should have completely lost his mind under the devastation of the drug returned to normal.

However, all this is no longer important.

The response from the communicator was cut off at noon the next day. The air raiders had already invaded the ground building complex and were about to begin to break through downwards. However, the collapse caused by the air attack blocked all passages. Even if they wanted to surrender now, they had to consider how to continue the attack first. Survive the time that comes down.

This is a tacit game of mutual understanding.

The air raiders do not want to encounter resistance in the next action, so they will slow down as much as possible, and the big fish trapped inside do not want to be caught, so they are also delaying as much time as possible , hoping to drive away the air raiders through other forces.

As a result, survival in this closed, food-scarce underground space has become a luxury.

The first fight over food began the day after the air raid.

In addition to Ye Zhou's hands, there is actually still a small amount of food on the base's treatment center level. This food is scattered in various wards, becoming the last hope of survival for those hoarding it.

But this hope was soon dashed as the guards expected this to happen.

They carried weapons and inspected the wards one by one, taking away all the food they could find. Although they talked about high-sounding "unified management," everyone knew that the food taken away could never be returned to them. inside.

A total of 27 people died during this search, and the total food taken away was actually only enough to sustain the big fish for 6 days.

On the third day after the air raid, the second battle began.

The cause of this fight was simply hunger.

The surviving ordinary people realized their fate. In desperation, they began to gather and attack the big fish's stronghold. Because of their superior numbers, they even forced the big fish back and grabbed some food.

But the consequences of lack of organization soon became apparent. After achieving the first stage of results, instead of relying on their advantages to move forward in a hurry, they stayed where they were and began eagerly sharing food.

In this process, infighting inevitably occurred.

The big fish didn't even need to intervene. Their own struggle caused the already loose alliance to collapse directly.

Big Fish's counterattack soon came, and the civilian team that originally had two hundred people left dropped sharply to less than one hundred and fifty people after this conflict.

And among the one hundred and fifty people, no one got food.

Ye Zhou watched all this silently. He was now the object of hatred by everyone in the entire treatment center, but he remained unmoved at all.

There is only one goal, that is, to survive.

Therefore, he must wait for the opportunity, wait until the food of the big fish reaches the danger level, and let them initiate negotiations with him.

This day will come soon.

On the fifth day after the air raid, representatives of Big Fish reached an agreement with Ye Zhou. Ye Zhou would provide them with enough food to survive every day, on the condition that they must ensure their own safety.

The two sides quickly reached an agreement. After Ye Zhou provided food as promised, the other party even took the initiative to send two guards to protect Ye Zhou's isolated island from being attacked by other civilians.

However, their worries were obviously unnecessary, because civilians who had been hungry for five days would never have the strength to pick up stones.

It was on this day that the first civilian to die of hunger appeared.

Even though Ye Zhou had seen this scene six times, it still had a huge impact on him.

A living person died quietly on the ground. People passing by were groping numbly on his body, as if they were trying to get some food out of his body with the last bit of luck.

But such a fluke is also ridiculous. If he had food, how could he starve to death?

Ye Zhou closed his eyes, he didn't want to continue reading.

In the next few days, more and more people will die of hunger and weakness. Before those horrific things happen, these civilians will organize a last resistance, and this resistance will still fail due to lack of organization. , a small number of those who survive in the end will survive until the upward channel is opened after overcoming the final bottom line.

He couldn't blame these people, because they were just like him, just trying to survive.

——

Stay alive.

An uncoordinated thought suddenly flashed through Ye Zhou's mind. At this moment, the decision-maker's talent suddenly took effect.

He was acutely aware that it seemed that if he lived in this way, the final outcome would be impossible to achieve.

Because the fish is still alive.

As long as the fish is alive, there must be a deal, and as long as there is a deal, he, as a witness, cannot survive.

Ye Zhou's heart sank suddenly, and he realized that although the path he chose would allow him to survive until the end, it would not allow him to survive until the end!

No wonder he was killed at the last moment for various reasons every time before. He always thought it was because he was not cautious enough, but in fact the real reason was that as long as the fish lived, this was inevitable!

His eyes scanned the people moving on the remaining ground in the hall in front of him. Those people had eaten up all the landscape plants and even turned up the soil.

If a mouse is caught by chance, it means that someone is likely to die fighting for the mouse.

Is there a possibility that I can organize these people?

Is there a possibility that the remaining 130 people can actually defeat those big fish?

He holds the most important resources in this small world. In theory, whichever side he supports will have a higher chance of winning.

And what he has to do is place a bet.

Now, his choice is actually very clear.

During the day, Ye Zhou still used food to threaten. After the guards left, he had a conversation with the invisible leader among the civilians.

The other party stood on a platform more than ten meters away, with a haggard face, but his eyes revealed a kind of determination unique to the bear clan in the 1970s.

"So, you want to cooperate with us? Why?"

"Because the big fish has to die or none of us will survive."

"Then why didn't you choose us from the beginning?"

"Because you haven't experienced enough pain, I can't organize a team that doesn't stand on the edge of the abyss of despair - only by forcing you to a desperate situation can you truly take this road to the end."

After saying this, Ye Zhou paused for a moment, and then said frankly:

"Of course, this can be considered a coincidence - because I didn't figure out this logic until yesterday."

The man nodded and replied:

"It doesn't matter, as long as we live, we don't care about the rest."

"That's for the best. Do you know what I need you to do?"

"I know that very well, but I don't trust my enemies to stop you."

"They will, but before they stop me, we still have a window period. This window period starts when I start contacting you and ends when my support for you threatens their survival."

"During this window, I need you to gather enough strength. What we have to do must be successful the first time and we must persist to the end."

"Even a slight retreat in the middle will cause everything we do to fall short. Do you understand?"

"I see."

The man nodded.

"So, do you understand how these people should be organized?"

Ye Zhou's eyes were fixed on the man. The latter was silent for a moment and then said:

"I will divide the food evenly, even if it's just a mouthful for each person."

"No, you're totally wrong."

Ye Zhou shook his head and continued:

"You have to organize a patient meeting, and you have to start elections to select people who can serve as leaders from among the patients."

"You need to spread these people into teams one by one and let them assume responsibility for the team."

"You need to manage food in a unified manner and allocate food to each team according to the most real needs based on the information collected by the team leader."

"You have to choose the most determined and noble people to serve as pickets, and hang the possible team captains who seek power for personal gain on the ruins over there."

"You have to put your own interests last, and you have to be the hungriest of them all."

"You will die before them, but after you die, they will succeed."

"can you do it?"

The man looked at Ye Zhou, and Ye Zhou also looked at him intently.

At this moment, they seemed to understand each other.

"I'll die before everyone else."

The man's tone was low, but firm.

Ye Zhou sighed deeply and said:

"The food I can provide you can barely sustain your consumption for three days. These three days are our window period."

"In three days, I want you to do everything I say."

"If you can't finish it, I can only help you do it myself."

"But that will be our last ditch effort."

"do you understand?"

The man continued to nod.

"I see."

Ye Zhou remained silent. He threw packages of food that he had prepared behind him at the man, and then watched him go away under the watchful eyes of the guards.

To the guards who came to question him, his answer was simple.

"The food I gave you is enough, I just wanted to show kindness."

"You better be. Just understand that if one of us doesn't survive, you're going to die too."

Ye Zhou didn't answer. He looked at the crowd gradually gathering in the distance and felt an indescribable touch in his heart.

Those people don't know yet that they are about to embark on a path they may have never imagined.
