Chapter 761: Difficult Decision, a Test on Humanity! Part 1
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sun Bahu’s imagined scene of everyone holding a bowl of hot soup and chanting his name aloud did not come true.
Although he had a good and well-thought plan, the territory’s already rotten foundation had an extremely destructive impact during the implementation.
The curfew began at ten at night.
Su Mo stood by the window and watched the countless hungry ordinary people complaining to themselves but did not dare to speak to the authorities. They left the territory square on foot and headed back to their residents in the mountain.
Apparently, not only did some people miss out on their soup reward tonight, but the so-called distributed compensation was only a pitiful “Origin coin.”
!!
In the end, their hard work was…
Unpaid labor!
“This isn’t going to be good. I’m afraid that Sun Bahu will be very frustrated with tonight’s drama.
“My guess is that he will probably run away with a large number of supplies and leave Origin Territory in two days.”
Su Mo closed his window and wore an infrequent serious expression.
He had complete information on how much supplies had been taken from the interrogation during the day.
The number of supplies still within the warehouse was only about 30%. The remaining 70% were taken to the secret trading realm by the group of people and secretly transferred away.
That was a large amount taken away from a population of 30,000 people.
Gathering up all the resources in the territory would only be able to make up for the stolen amount.
Judging from Sun Bahu’s reaction in the daytime, he seemed not to want to give up on the territory and run away just yet after he annihilated the people.
There was a high chance that he had some personal resources that could make up for a large portion of the 70% loss and survive the great cooling disaster.
However, Sun Bahu was not a fool and would surely understand that his only choice was to leave with the rest of the supplies after seeing the pitiful sight tonight.
He could come back after the disaster was over and recruit those who survived with another ident.i.ty and make a comeback.
During this process, those who lacked resources and who had been working diligently to comply with the rules and regulations would have to be sacrificed!
“Shelter leader, should we retreat first…This place is going to become very chaotic if Sun Bahu runs away.
“We’re not scared of these people trying to rob us, but…” Feng Tianmin suddenly suggested while Su Mo was deep in thought.
Su Mo turned around. “Retreat?”
“The resources of 30,000 people vanished overnight, and the Origin Coins they have turned into useless pieces of iron. The terrifying cooling disaster is about to strike very soon.
“Everyone is going to suffer if the territory falls apart.
“These bullies who are still suppressing the ordinary people tonight are still unaware that they’re the ones who are going to be in danger after a day or two.
“Meanwhile, the other travelers who are still inside the territory will eventually become the targets of some people. There will surely be a lot of danger if we continue to stay!”
Opening his mouth, Feng Tianmin wanted to state they would not be able to do anything and could only bear witnesses to the disaster and tragedy about to happen even if they were going to stay in the territory.
Ultimately, he decided to use a more euphemistic way to express his thoughts.
They were talking about a supply shortage for 30,000 people and not 3,000 or 300.
A population of 10,000 people would need 18,000 kilograms of food since each person consumed about 0.6 kilograms per day.
The duration of the big cooling disaster would be 120 hours which equaled five days.
During these five days, they would need a minimum of 90,000 kilograms of food to satisfy 30,000 people.
This was a large number that even Heaven’s Origin and Hope Village in the basin were incapable of sustaining.
No one could bear such a heavy cost, not even the human G.o.d, Almighty Su.
“Shelter leader, let’s leave. These people here aren’t worthy of us to rescue them!
“These monsters that still want to seek personal gains and oppress the weak even in the wasteland are going to be a scourge if we bring them back to the territory!”
Feng Long also attempted to persuade him after seeing Su Mo’s contemplative face.
Soon, Guan Yuan, who had been standing behind them, tried to persuade Su Mo with almost similar words about how it was useless to continue staying in the territory and that it would be better to return to Mountain Moon Territory to wait for the disaster to pa.s.s. They could always come back to gather the survivors after the disaster.
By doing so, they were still doing a good deed, which was entirely acceptable to their conscience.
“Alright, I’ll think about it. You three must be tired from working all day and not sleeping since yesterday. Go back and rest.
“Everyone get a good night’s sleep tonight and don’t stress over these problems.”
Su Mo smiled forcibly and waved his hands, seeing that the trio still wanted to continue to say something. Afterward, he simply lay down in bed.
After seeing Su Mo’s behavior, the trio also did not say anything further and quietly left with the scout robots.
Bang!
The door opened and gently closed again, returning the room to a quiet place again.
