Lost Narrative Poetry

Xia Ran naturally doesn't have any mind-reading skills. Again, he hasn't used this advanced skill yet, so he can't be so cruel.

He just remembered some of these settings and moved them out in this way at the right time. Although the reason for doing this was indeed to make the protagonist group and others mistakenly think that he had really mastered the ability to read minds——

They had such doubts before. No matter how they explained it, the doubts were still buried deep in their hearts, just like a seed, waiting for an opportunity to suddenly break out of the ground, take root, sprout, and thrive.

Since this is an unavoidable problem, just break it in advance to avoid any unexpected trouble later.

Another important reason is that Xia Ran can't take it for granted and act as if he knows everything about Saya Gao Cheng, as if he has already investigated the pink-haired twin-tailed family background in advance... This is easy. Arousing suspicion.

If it wasn't for some ulterior motive and premeditation, why would you do this? How should we explain it?

Normal conspiracy theories can be said to be normal, but for fear of being misunderstood as a lunatic, you really can't defend yourself. However, there is really no reason for this. If you are not coveting others, why would you investigate this kind of thing?

And if it is extended further, there are many fatal questions. For example, if he had premeditated and coveted Takagi Saya, was the previous "accidental encounter" also carefully arranged?

What else is there? He only came into this world a few days ago. It is impossible for people to believe such a statement at once. If he is met with such doubts, all kinds of questions will naturally arise.

Although it's not a big deal, trouble is something that no one will ever like. A little less is a little less.

Moreover, Xia Ran, as a serious person who cherishes feathers, always pays attention to his own reputation, is serious and cautious in his words and deeds, naturally would not want to see this kind of thing happen, so he might as well just use the reason of "mind reading" to explain it. .

Simple, crude, and neat. Anyway, this group of people is more likely to believe this reason.

It’s just that he’s not very friendly to the persona he’s established, which makes people more afraid of him——

After all, not everyone wants to be with someone who can see through their own psychological activities at any time. Maybe some people are really open and honest and don't care about this kind of problem at all, but it is really difficult for most people to do this.

Of course, that's all. Anyway, even if Xia Ran doesn't do this, they will still be wary. It doesn't matter if it's more or less. Rather than making them suspicious and frightened, you might as well tell them directly that you can read minds.

Well, if you think about it this way, I am really a good person...

Another thing is that although this kind of persona is very unfriendly, it is still enough to be a deterrent. It is also helpful for Xia Ran's next plan to build a large-scale survivor team.

Unless someone has really lost his mind, as long as there is still a trace of worry and fear in his heart, it is impossible to do anything inexplicable and stupid.

After all, if you want to achieve something, you can't do it alone, but if you want to contact more people to rebel, it will take time. It would be fine if they could hide the secret and develop slowly, but the problem is hiding Can't live.

Because even if you don’t say anything, the target you want to target may already be known——

The result is probably that he made a grand ambition just in the morning, to slay demons and do justice for heaven, and at the same time satisfy his own ambition, step on that monster that is obviously not human and get to the top...

In the afternoon, his hands and feet were broken, thrown out of the safe zone among the zombies, and eaten alive.

There is no need for Xia Ran to really read minds. As long as such a fool appears and is about to do something big, if he hears his plan, other people who are afraid of being implicated will definitely report him immediately.

What Xia Ran needs is to control the degree, so that others feel that he can really see through people's hearts, but will not control other people's thoughts too much, so that they feel that as long as they stay in peace, they will be free and don't have to worry about anything. .

--that's it.

He thought to himself that he didn't have any leadership skills. Although he had read some management books, it was impossible to apply mechanically at the moment, so he might as well not take the usual path and use this set of methods.

Because something will definitely happen over time, but if everything goes well, he may leave in a month or two, so it's totally fine.

…

…

The day after that.

Xia Ran took the people out to continue "training", although he also wanted to go to the other side of the river and swallow the entire Gaocheng family as soon as possible to completely improve the efficiency of monster spawning.

But he also knew that there was a veritable fortress there, with enough strong men and weapons. It was originally a regional power, and in this troubled world, it had directly become a powerful force on one side.

If he just wants to assassinate high-level officials or wants to destroy the entire force, it will be easy for him. The former only needs to sneak in, find the target and kill it, it is that simple. In the latter case, as long as the force's defense line is opened and dead zombies are introduced, it will naturally be destroyed from within.

There is no need for him to carry an unknown number of guns and ammunition head-on by himself. If he fails to dodge in time, and his mental power is doubled, the mental shield will probably be torn apart by concentrated fire in a short period of time, taking him with him. The whole person was torn into pieces.

Maybe the opponent's firepower is not enough to sweep away the zombie tide, reverse the offensive, and retake the city, but wouldn't it be simple to just focus on him alone?

But if you want to swallow the other party's power completely and turn it into your own, you need to be more cautious. If Xia Ran goes there alone, there is a real possibility of being shot.

So he decided to slow down for a while and fix the situation on this side first.

No matter how small the number of survivors is, there should still be four figures. If it can pull together a team of thousands of people, it will be a huge force in itself. Xia Ran planned to lead the team here first, and then go there to take over the Gaocheng family.

This idea was perfect, except that after confessing what she wanted to do, Takagi Saya's face turned as dark as anything.

But this is normal. If she welcomes her happily, then she really has something wrong with her brain, right?

"...We must first be clear about one thing, that is, the material reserves are limited. Even though we have so many things now, even if we don't consider their shelf life, it is impossible to support us forever..."

"...Looking at the current situation, you should all know very well that human society has been destroyed and it is impossible to have the previous productivity. Unless you want to live like this in confusion for a while, otherwise, you should take advantage of now... …”

"...Cleaning up zombies is not just for our short-term safety, but also for the long-term future. We need to regain more territory and restore a certain level of production capacity..."

As the saying goes, you need to be famous and have to come up with a grand reason. Xia Ran also knew that he couldn't just rely on courage and command these people to work hard to fight zombies. That wouldn't last long.

They were living people and would always have doubts, so he gave them some psychological counseling in advance and told them at length how important it was to fight zombies.

The benefit that is immediately visible is that it can make them safer. As long as the nearby zombies are continuously cleaned up, the safe area will continue to expand, and the danger of zombies will gradually move away.

At least you don't have to worry about being surrounded by all the zombies just by sleeping like before.

And you can also collect more valuable materials and save as many survivors as possible. Every more person is more strength.

In the long run, they are planning for the future. They cannot stay in a narrow safety zone forever and survive forever with limited supplies. They must consider the issue of self-sufficiency in advance.

These are interests that are closely related to them. As long as they understand this, they will have spontaneous motivation to fight zombies or save survivors, instead of being forced to perform it. They do not understand and reject this behavior.

Although many people also think that if they stay for a while and then go out, the outside world may have returned to peace, and the zombies' bodies will probably have rotted away. Because summer is coming, and the body may turn into bones in just twenty days.

However, this negative thought was scorned by Saya Takagi——

"Whether it will rot or not is still unknown. Bodies that move around and attack people are not within the scope of medicine. Maybe they will continue..."

In fact, her worries are correct. Theoretically speaking, it takes about twenty days in summer and several months in winter. So starting from this time, a conservative estimate of more than a month should be enough.

However, more than a month later, are those zombies really dead? Is this disaster really over?

Although Xia Ran has not read the entire story, he can give a definite answer in this regard, that is, no.

This means that those zombies will not easily decay naturally. It may be caused by viruses or other factors... In short, this is the cruel reality. This group of people has no time to waste.

Fortunately, not many people are ready to take a gamble, or because they have just passed the test and proved their worth, they don't want to reveal their incompetent and cowardly side to someone right away.

Moreover, what the other party said makes sense. Clearing out the zombies and regaining safe land is beneficial to everyone, especially when they think about surviving in the doomsday world, they all have a sense of urgency.

I feel that there are not enough supplies and manpower, so I naturally have to do a lot of searching if I have the opportunity.

Xia Ran did not continue to be a nanny. Someone might die in the next action, but this was a hurdle that had to be crossed. If he needed to always pay attention to ensure the safety of these people...

Then he could just do it himself, why bother?

So Xia Ran took the protagonist group and a group of people and set off to explore in another direction. After all, he is the protagonist. He is lucky and has a trouble-making physique, so he should be able to trigger more special events.
