"Are you just going to let this happen?" Shen Yutong's voice came from beside her. She had also walked to the railing at some point, her gaze also falling on the slowly moving crowd below.

Lin Feng peeled another egg, put it in his mouth, and only spoke after swallowing it, his tone flat: "What do I care? Am I going to whip them?"

"It's not impossible!"

Lin Feng turned to look at her and saw that Shen Yutong was unusually calm, as if it were a matter of course. He thought to himself, "No wonder she's a rich heiress, her way of thinking is just different."

"Let them do what they want. Let them grind if they want, let them work if they want. I don't owe them anything, and they don't owe me anything. If they can make it, they will; if they can't..." Lin Feng looked at Xiao Xuan, who was still swallowing broken bricks, and said, "Consider this as food for Xiao Xuan. High-quality steel as food should last for a while..."

Around noon, Xiao Xuan gnawed away at almost half of the reinforced concrete bricks in the neighborhood, then lay down, tucked its limbs in, and retracted its head into its shell.

She fell asleep again.

Lin Feng opened the panel and saw: [Mystic Turtle Status: Sleeping, Estimated Duration: 16 hours.]

"Good heavens..." Lin Feng rubbed his temples. It had doubled, eight hours more than last night.

But considering Xiao Xuan's stomach, which is like a dimensional space, and that he's devoured at least a dozen buildings, it's understandable why he needs to sleep for so long.

On the other side, Guo Yi was so anxious he was jumping up and down. He came over to Lin Feng, looked up and shouted, "Lin Feng, I can't do this job..."

Lin Feng landed on the ground with a leap: "What can't I do?"

Guo Yi looked tired and helpless: "There's not enough steel, far too little. The reason that car could be fully modified yesterday was because we dismantled seven modified cars to use as parts and materials, and we also had a complete subway system to back it up."

"Today you asked me to modify the cab of your truck, and to make it bigger and build a cargo box. We simply don't have enough materials. Those people have been searching all morning, and the steel bars and trucks they could find aren't even enough to make a few wheels, let alone the cab shell."

Lin Feng glanced at him: "Then what should we do?"

Guo Yi spread his hands: "How should I know? You're urging me to make it, but you don't provide enough materials. What can I do? Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice."

Lin Feng remained silent for a while, then glanced at the dwindling group. Some people couldn't endure the hardship; they had already gotten a good deal yesterday, emptying the building and obtaining half of the supplies, so everyone had plenty of food and simply decided to quit.

They loaded their things into the car they found and left the group, infuriating Mo Qingluan. Mi Xue kept cursing them beside her, calling them all ungrateful wretches.

Now only Zhao Dayong and his group of more than 20 people are still working hard with a team of less than 100 people. He is thinking that since he has followed this path, he will stick to it to the end. He is not in the character to waver.

Moreover, he was very clear that in this world, one could only survive by following the awakened, and the only thing he could currently offer was his own strength.

As long as you don't kill them, keep pushing them to the limit.

"If you can't fix it, then forget it. Just hang the empty frame on your car for now, and you can fix it later!"

Guo Yi was taken aback: "An empty shell?"

"Yes, first make a shell that can hold things. If that doesn't work, just hang it on the back of your train and drag it around. You can upgrade it later when you find materials."

Guo Yi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll get the wheels and suspension system sorted out first, then add a metal box. I'll add the power system and armor later when I find materials."

Seeing Lin Feng's somewhat complicated expression, he said, "You've been asking me to modify the truck cab and install cargo boxes. Are you trying to stock up on food for your turtle, or are you trying to get all these people to work for you?"

Lin Feng put his hands in his pockets, looked at the miners still working, and slightly curled his lip: "If I really relied on these people, Xiao Xuan would have starved to death long ago."

Guo Yi's eyes flickered. He walked up to Lin Feng and whispered, "You're not like the captain, bringing ordinary people along for...?"

"Why?" Lin Feng's interest was immediately piqued, and his curiosity was undisguised.

Guo Yi looked around to make sure no one was nearby before moving closer, his voice even lower than before: "Of course, it's to be bait. First, to distract the monsters, and second, a large enough crowd can attract high-level monsters. Then, we can kill them to obtain monster crystals to increase our strength. Last time... never mind, last time you were just a newbie and didn't know about this... but think carefully about what happened yesterday!"

Lin Feng quickly recalled what happened yesterday. First, he kicked all the ordinary people off the bus and let them explore freely. Then, he called all the awakened ones to set off together, even those who were support and had no combat ability.

Moreover, almost all the patrol and hunting teams were present and boarded the vehicles. Who were those people? They were all the able-bodied young men in the convoy, while those who remained were almost all the old, weak, and frail.

At the time, I didn't think that much about it; I thought it was about concentrating our efforts.

Furthermore, after the crowd dispersed, they encountered almost no large-scale zombies when they set off from the main road and passed through the first residential area. It wasn't until they passed through the second residential area that they were attacked by a group of zombies, which resulted in the deaths of more than a hundred people.

This shouldn't be thought about too much!

Furthermore, Jiang Sheng, such an important auxiliary ability awakener, died just like that, and Dong Yu is still lying in the train carriage, her fate unknown.

Furthermore, the convoy started with several thousand people, and even with people constantly joining along the way, only five or six hundred have survived.

Lin Feng recalled that in the early days of the patrol team, the treatment was good and a lot of people joined, but the casualties were also the fastest and the rate of attrition was very fast. However, the strength of the captain and the other awakened ones also improved very quickly.

I always thought it was because there were too many strange occurrences...

"Damn it..." Lin Feng cursed under his breath, "I thought the captain was a good guy, but he's actually so cunning!"

This is completely using ordinary people as cannon fodder. No wonder the convoy seems so fair and friendly to everyone. Also, there are the rules on his vehicle: all mutated creatures and strange crystals are handed over, while almost all ordinary supplies are distributed. Those people thought they were getting a great deal by joining the patrol team, but they didn't expect to be paving the way for the captain with their lives.

"Shh...keep your voice down." Guo Yi chuckled, his smile carrying no hint of reproach, but rather an air of entitlement: "Don't you even think about why he's the captain? You think it's because he's soft-hearted?!"

After saying that, he patted Lin Feng on the shoulder: "I believe in you. In this world, only those who are ruthless and strong enough can survive..."

After saying that, Guo Yi left, leaving Lin Feng bewildered in the wind: "Wait, what did you decide on? Is that what I meant?"
