Chapter Summary
Everyone felt quite fortunate about Liu Ning's way of doing things. These people were well aware that there were many such treasures in the outer cities. At first, Liu Ning was not comfortable with this choice, thinking it was somewhat disregard for human life, but now he has become indifferent to it, because there are just too many such situations.
Everyone felt quite fortunate about Liu Ning's way of doing things. Even though Liu Ning brought all these things back, he was still very fair in distributing them.
Everyone was deeply moved, which made Liu Ning feel somewhat guilty. Compared to what he had received, what they had really was nothing.
These people were well aware that there were many such treasures in the outer cities. If you had the ability, you could take away almost half the city's wealth. However, they were also well aware that there were dangers everywhere in the city. Although Liu Ning was able to make a fortune, they were not envious. He had the ability, but they did not. If they went out rashly, they would only lose their lives. These treasures were important, but compared to their own lives, it was better to keep their lives.
"Thank you, Captain, but we still can't take these things. You risked your life to bring these back. If we take them, what are we? Besides, always asking for things isn't a good thing; it'll make us rotten!"
Jinzi looked at them and they all nodded. Then Jinzi said what she had to say: "Everyone here is a man of principle. Liu Ning has already given them a very generous gift. If we want everything, it would make us look like we have no backbone."
"What are you saying? There are so many people above, yet they only sent your small team. Although we are risking our lives for the people, we are also born of parents. You won't get much money from the higher-ups for risking your lives here. How will we eat and drink without money? Don't our elderly parents and children at home need money? What we have done is absolutely worth it. I've made the decision on this package, so you don't need to worry about it."
Hearing what Liu Ning said, the group looked somewhat uncomfortable. Such a mission was extremely dangerous, with a high mortality rate. They couldn't accept many missions with connections, so they could only take on missions like this. After hearing what Liu Ning said, they changed their minds. They were here risking their lives; high risk meant high reward.
Seeing the group chuckle, Liu Ning didn't say anything more. There was no need to spell things out. He would distribute these things to them after returning to the city, since they were all people who had made contributions to the people.
After Liu Ning and his group noted down the coordinates, they immediately set off. There was no time to wait until the next morning. No one knew what the situation was like in the inner city. They had already received news that the inner city was about to collapse. If they delayed any longer, their target would become food for the ferocious beasts once the inner city was breached.
Just wait...
Just as they were moving forward, Potato was knocked down by a ferocious beast. Blood was already coming out of Potato's mouth. If he hadn't quickly drunk a special healing potion, he probably wouldn't have survived. Liu Ning killed the beast as quickly as possible without making a sound.
This was the ninth attack they had encountered on their journey. If Liu Ning hadn't been there, their squad would probably be dead by now. Liu Ning gave them a few more healing potions. Although they didn't understand how Liu Ning had produced them, they didn't refuse. Each additional potion meant one more life. In order to complete the mission, they had no choice but to shamelessly accept Liu Ning's potions.
Liu Ning looked up at the people in the squad. Everyone's uniforms were stained red with blood, some of it their own blood, some of it the blood of ferocious beasts. Except for Wang Fang's uniform, the uniforms of the others were not very intact.
It's not that Wang Fang suffered less damage, but rather that when there was a tear in Wang Fang's uniform, the others would take off their own uniforms and give them to her. After all, Wang Fang was the only girl in the team, and it would be too embarrassing for the others if she were to expose her body.
Along the way, besides encountering ferocious beasts, Liu Ning and his group also saw many survivors. However, Liu Ning couldn't offer them much help, only providing them with some supplies from his own space. As for taking them along, that was absolutely impossible. Firstly, it was extremely dangerous, and secondly, these people were just ordinary people. If he took them along, he could quickly attract the ferocious beasts, and then everyone would suffer.
Although doing things this way might seem a bit heartless, everyone understands that if you have too many concerns at this point, you can forget about completing the task.
After several hours of travel, they finally arrived inside the city. At least from this vantage point, the city walls now felt quite distant, unlike the previous locations where it seemed as if they had just left the walls. Although they had traveled a considerable distance, the straight-line distance was not much.
"Captain, let's rest here. This used to be a cold storage facility. Although it's been damaged, as long as we plug the gaps, we can still ensure our safety."
Wood found a hiding place that was quite good, at least compared to the drafty houses around it. If they lived in other houses, their energy would quickly leak out, and the surrounding beasts would likely surround them. The air circulation here wasn't great, but it also ensured their safety.
Just as Liu Ning was about to give the order, a scream came from afar. It turned out that a surviving human had been discovered. These people wanted to go and rescue him, but judging from the sound, he was at least 800 meters away.
If we expose ourselves at this moment, the surrounding ferocious beasts are likely to surround us. Not only will we fail to save that person, but we will also lose our lives. Everyone calmly entered the cold storage. There is no other way now but to save ourselves and take the scientist out. This is what is beneficial to all mankind, rather than sacrificing ourselves and the chance to save the scientist for one or two civilians.
At first, Liu Ning was not comfortable with this choice, thinking it was somewhat disregard for human life, but now he has become indifferent to it, because there are just too many such situations.
