291 Regaining consciousness (1/2)
Although the sparrow was large in size, its meat was not enough for 30 people to share.
Jiang Wu had originally brought along 28 students with her, but now that three of them had left, only 25 remained.
Including Wang Fugui, Wang Dalong, Yan Liuyuan, Li Xiaoyu, and Ren Xiaosu, how could the sparrow be enough for all of them? While Xiaoyu cooked the sparrow, she counted their supplies. Then she sighed and said, \”I'm afraid that our dried food will only last us another two days.\”
Yan Liuyuan pursed his lips. If Ren Xiaosu were conscious right now, would they have to worry about such problems?
At this moment, someone whispered, \”I saw them…\”
That person who spoke was a student. Yan Liuyuan froze for a moment before asking, \”Who did you see?\”
\”Our classmates.\” Wang Yuchi said gloomily, \”They must have seen us too, but they're probably too scared to come over.\”
Yan Liuyuan finally realized they were talking about the three female students who had left them behind.
Yan Liuyuan turned around and looked at Jiang Wu. However, he found her sitting in a daze next to Ren Xiaosu and not saying anything.
\”Ms. Jiang?\” Yan Liuyuan called out.
Jiang Wu smiled bitterly and said, \”I don't blame them, let them be.\”
It seemed like Jiang Wu never thought about getting those three female students to come back either. Yan Liuyuan saw Jiang Wu clenching her fists so tightly that her fingernails dug into her palms until she was nearly bleeding. Suddenly, Jiang Wu said, \”Can I give them my share of the dried food? I don't mind going hungry instead.\”
Yan Liuyuan had a realization at this moment. Even though he was reluctant, this was probably the reason why his brother was willing to save Jiang Wu, wasn't it? If Ren Xiaosu were awake, what would he do?
\”Alright then.\” Yan Liuyuan said with a sigh, \”But, Ms. Jiang, you don't have to go hungry. Since you've made the decision, everyone in the group will bear this together.\”
With that, Yan Liuyuan had a male student take a small bag of dried food over to their female classmates. The male student stuffed the bag into a female classmate's hands and walked off without saying a word to them.
The three girls sat on the ground hugging their knees and wailed. Yan Liuyuan turned his head back and didn't look at them anymore.
Right now, no one blamed them for what they did. When facing the threat of the Experimentals in these wastelands, and with Ren Xiaosu unconscious, it was only natural for them to make that decision at that time.
Although everyone was very upset, those female students did not exactly do any wrong. What was more important in this world than their own lives?
But even though they understood why they did that, it was impossible to accept them back into the group.
\”Just leave them be,\” Yan Liuyuan said calmly.
Those female students had made their choice, and there was nothing that they could do about it. Furthermore, the group was in a rather bad state themselves and could face the Li Consortium's threat again at any moment. So it was better for the two groups to go their separate ways.
At this moment, Xiaoyu reminded, \”Since there are so many escapees here, could there be a doctor among them? If there is one, we could get them to check on Xiaosu and see how his condition is.\”
Yan Liuyuan jolted upright. \”That's right!\”
Then Yan Liuyuan walked into the group of escapees with a dagger and shouted, \”Is anyone here a doctor? Step forward now! You'll be given a bun to eat after treating my brother!\”
Immediately, several people in the group of escapees raised their hands. That was mainly because it was too tempting when they heard they would be given a bun to eat!
