Chapter 128: Departure (1/2)
Chapter 128 - Departure
Wang DeCheng finally understood the purpose why Lui Gan asked him to leaving those backpacks and bicycles. If it wasn’t for Liu Gan’s prior preparations, then they would be scrambling to gather the materials and resources, and the amount they could bring would be a lot less than it was now. Because the preparations were completed, it made evacuation so much smoother and less hectic.
Even though the time arranged for the search was fifteen minutes, but by the time they found all the squads 20 minutes had gone by. Judging from the updated speed of the corpse tide, around 20 minutes they would reach the street facing Fortune and Youth supermarket.
There were obvious signs of discomfort and unease on the faces of some players. At the same time, there were some players who were mourning. Surviving in [The Trembling World] was very difficult. It was hard enough to establish a base camp in the supermarket. Then, they had to live with Tiger Lord’s strict rationing system and rules. Finally when they assimilated to the lifestyle of this temporary home and could satisfying meals with Liu Gan as their new leader something like this happened.
Even though Liu Gan did mention that the food they couldn’t eat would be left behind, but a large portion of it was still sitting in the storage. It was obvious that they didn’t want to leave, but so they could only carry a small load.
Even after leaving, they still had no idea on where to head towards. They also had no idea if the new location would have a big food storage like they had in the supermarket.
With such low morale, the moment it would be very troublesome.
“I believe you all witnessed my abilities, then you should know my personality. So if you don't want to follow me, then you can stay. I definitely won't force you.” Liu Gan announced as he stood outside the supermarket and looked all the players by their bicycles.
“Elder Liu, I am willing to follow you!” Shouted in reply by Wang DeCheng.
“I am also be willing to follow you no matter where you go!” the crowd of players shouted together, but it was undeniable that they were still scared.
“It looks like no one wants to leave the group, okay as long as you are willing to follow my lead, I can guarantee your safety. So everyone must follow my rules, and no one will die while we leave the supermarket. I will protect you and find a new camp so everyone can settle down. Once we find some food, then we won't have to starve.” Liu Gan continued with his speech to the crowd.
“Thank Elder Liu, long live Elder Liu.” Several of the players shouted as they started to brush away their uneasiness.
“Let me tell you some good news. Before I arrived here, I found a report which said in a certain direction in NinJing City there is a bay. In this Green Pao Bay there is a airship. ”There is a huge amount of food provisions in the reserves of the airships. Besides, this ship is very safe both in the air and on sea. It can be used as our permanent base of operations anywhere and it is definitely safe. As long as we reach there fast, we will be able to own such a base.” Liu Gan continued to the players.
Even though there was a chance that serenity airship left the Green Pao Bay, Liu Gan didn't tell that fact to the players. Since he wanted to give them hope. Just like when Cao Cao’s army was marching, but they were very exhausted and their morale was low. Cao Cao lied to the troops and said that just a bit further there were plum trees that had many plums and these fruits could be picked to quench their thirst. The moment the troops heard that, they marched faster with boosted morale and ultimately, reached their destination.
[TL: Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms. What a beautiful ‘white lie’.]
