A farm that breeds gods and demons-Chapter 56 - 54 Returning to School
56: Chapter 54: Returning to School
56 -54: Returning to School
Zhou Huakang was stunned by Zhang Zhongmou’s words and was about to refute when Su Yu nodded and said, “I agree with your proposal of equal shares.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Jiagui, Li Dong, and Zhou Huakang were all taken aback, as they hadn’t expected Su Yu to agree.
In fact, Su Yu had his own considerations.
He thought about the current food supplies and if divided into ten portions, it was enough to sustain one person for a month.
If such was the case, even if he left with Su Yun, the two of them could last for half a month, and maybe even closer to twenty days if they were frugal.
Within those twenty days, a lot could happen, so why squabble incessantly over dividing food?
Seeing Su Yu agree, Qin Jiagui gave it some thought and agreed as well.
He figured the food he would get could sustain him and Ni Ping for over ten days.
The dangers of the next ten days were unpredictable, and who knew who would survive and who wouldn’t.
If someone died, their share of food would be saved, and perhaps against all odds, they might find more food or a way out.
Given all these uncertainties, there was no sense in arguing over food distribution now.
Since both Su Yu and Qin Jiagui agreed, the others had no objections.
Li Dong and Zhou Huakang, seeing Su Yu agree so readily, were somewhat skeptical, fearing that Su Yu might have ulterior motives.
They found it odd that Su Yu and the others would agree to a method of distribution that seemed to disadvantage them.
In this world, who would agree to a scenario that harmed their interests while benefiting others?
They wondered if Su Yu had other plans in mind.
Thinking about this, Li Dong became anxious.
As a Second-Level Black Iron Warrior, Su Yu could easily defeat them in a blink of an eye, and it was doubtful that others would come to their rescue.
Comparatively, the value of their lives was more important than a larger share of food.
Thinking about this, Li Dong suddenly shook his head and said: “No, something seems wrong.
I’ve thought it through.
It seems reasonable on the surface, but it’s not really fair.
Since we are all companions who have to rely on each other going forward, there is no need to divide so precisely.
I suggest that like we originally agreed, we should decide on the final headcount and then distribute the food equally.”
Surprised, Su Yu looked over at him.
What was this guy up to with his constant flip-flopping?
To everyone’s surprise, Zhou Huakang also nodded in agreement to Li Dong’s viewpoint, saying, “That makes sense.
We are all companions; there’s no need for such a precise division.”
Qin Jiagui chuckled at Li Dong and Zhou Huakang’s thought processes which he had deciphered to some extent.
He calmly said: “Then let’s decide on that.
This food is our hope, and keeping it here is not secure.
Before, we decided to keep this food here, which in hindsight was a dangerous move.
If others come here first and take away the food, the consequences would be unthinkable.”
Everyone nodded their heads, recognizing the reckless nature of their previous decision.
Luckily, the supermarket had large plastic bags.
Everyone got busy, and after packing up all the food and drinks like bottled water, dozens of large bags were filled.
Looking at the dozens of large bags piled up in the center, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
As per usual, they took turns keeping watch while the others rested.
Although the night was filled with frightening roars and howls of wild beasts, they managed to spend an undisturbed night, resting peacefully.
As daylight broke, everyone began to wake up.
Seeing everyone else still alive gave them great comfort.
Su Yu stretched his arms.
The special power that was transformed into energy within his left arm was still slowly flowing.
When it reached his shoulder, it automatically returned.
It seemed as if there was an invisible gate preventing the energy from reaching other places.
Su Yu had a vague feeling that once he could allow the energy to break through this invisible gate, he might be able to upgrade his abilities to the next level.
He wondered what upgrading again might entail.
Of course, Su Yu did not believe he was at the pinnacle of his evolutionary journey as a Second-Level Black Iron Warrior.
Today marked the fifth day since they had entered the forest.
He wondered how Su Yun and the others were doing, and Su Yu had a strong desire to return to school to check in.
With dozens of large bags filled with food, each person had to carry several.
Having superpowers, all of them were considerably stronger than before, including Ning Yan.
Even though carrying these large bags was troublesome, it wasn’t exhausting.
The supermarket wasn’t far from the school, and a group of people, looking like weary porters, trudging along each carrying several large bags larger than themselves, set off.
Surprisingly, they didn’t encounter any creatures attacking them for half the day which filled everyone with both astonishment and joy.
They quickened their pace, and by noon, they could see the school in the distance.
Everyone was aware that it could be troublesome to bring so many bags of food into the school, so it was agreed that those who weren’t planning to take anyone else from the school, like Li Dong and Zhou Birong, would stay put at a location not far from the school to guard the food.
Su Yu, Qin Jiagui, and others would then enter the school, get their friends, and leave immediately without lingering in the school.
As for the remaining people in the school, they couldn’t help them.
They believed that without food, those people would abandon the school and venture into the forest hoping for the best, a fate similar to what they had already experienced.
But that was not something they could concern themselves with now.
As the saying goes, “Every man for himself, and the Devil take the hindmost”.
Su Yu and the others were not saints; they were just ordinary people thinking of their own survival, which was perfectly normal.
However, their plans were foiled by unexpected twists.
As everyone approached the school and saw it, they were startled.
The school walls had collapsed in several places, and from afar they could see many dead bodies lying on the ground.
A wind blew from the direction of the school, filling the air with the stench of blood.
“Damn it!” Su Yu was shocked.
He dropped the bags he was carrying without a second thought and ran towards the school.
His heart was pounding: “Su Yun, please be alright.” His worst fears seemed to have come true.
Like Su Yu, Qin Jiagui’s face paled.
As he put down his bags, he said: “Everyone, stay calm.
Stay here and watch over the food.” He then followed Su Yu.
Su Yu was worried about Su Yun, and he was worried about his girlfriend Yuan Niping.
The others stared at each other in astonishment.
Suddenly, Lin Shi also dropped his bags and raced off.
The others were taken aback: did Lin Shi also have someone in the school he cared about?
