77 -75: Food Loss
Su Yu glanced at him without uttering a word.
He knew Li Dong was speaking the truth.
Had it not been for sheer luck during the previous battle, he surely would have perished, and everyone else would have met their end as well.
But they couldn’t just rely on luck forever in this forest, luck was bound to run out eventually.
“So what do you suggest?
Should we go back to the school?
Hide there and survive off these supplies for twenty days?
And then wait together for our impending death?” Zhang Zhongmou started shouting at Li Dong.
To everyone’s surprise, Li Dong responded with a peculiar smile, “Actually, that doesn’t sound like a bad idea at all.
At least we can live for another twenty days or so.
If a lady could accompany us, we could enjoy our remaining days.
Isn’t that better than constantly being on edge in this forest with no end in sight, where death may come at any moment?”
Li Dong was so blunt that the faces of Lei Rui and the other girls turned red.
Ma Ziye sneered disdainfully, “Pathetic.
What a coward.”
“Coward, my ass.
I simply don’t want to die without having enjoyed anything.
Don’t you guys feel the same?
Why are you acting so high and mighty?
Isn’t my suggestion good?
We could go back to school together, stay with the ones we like.
I don’t want to die without even knowing what a woman feels like.
Ma Ziye, don’t you want to know what a man feels like either?”
“Shut up!” Ma Ziye was so infuriated that her face turned scarlet, but she couldn’t help but glance at Su Yu.
She suddenly thought that instead of searching for the slim chance of survival in this terrifying forest, perhaps returning to the school wasn’t such a bad idea.
If she really could be with Su Yu…
Suddenly, her face turned even redder.
After shouting “Shut up!”, she found herself at a loss for words.
“Li Dong, you’ve lost your confidence because you think the monsters are getting stronger.
But haven’t you thought about this?
We’re becoming stronger as well.
Have you already lost faith?
Even if we go back to school, we won’t be safe.
Do you really think that there won’t be stronger monsters at the school?
I believe you remember, when we first left school, there were only minor Goblin Beasts around, but when we returned, there were Goblins and even more formidable Goblin Knights…”
“Even if we return now, I believe there’ll be monsters waiting for us at the school, monsters no less powerful than these zombies.
In reality, we no longer have any way out.
No matter where we are in this forest, there’s danger lurking…
yet…”
While he spoke, Su Yu started to stand up, looked towards the sky, and said in a serious voice, “I’ve always been thinking, there must be a reason that we are here.
As long as we keep moving, we’ll definitely find a way out.
There can’t possibly be a forest without borders in this world.
As long as we keep going, we’ll surely break free.”
Li Dong blurted out, “But the problem is, we might die before even getting out.”
Su Yu looked at him and said, “Compared to other students who died on the first day, we’ve already survived six more days. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
We are already at an advantage.
What else are you unsatisfied about?
If you really believe returning to school is safe, you can go back.
But if you’re alone, I believe, you would be dead before you even reach the school.”
This was the first time that Su Yu had spoken so sharply.
He was tired of Li Dong’s negativity, which was severely impacting everyone’s morale.
He felt it was necessary, otherwise, who knows what else Li Dong would stir up.
After being confronted harshly by Su Yu, Li Dong was left speechless.
The thought of being alone in the forest made him shudder.
His knees buckled, and he fell to the ground, his face pale as ashes.
Although Su Yu had reprimanded Li Dong, his words did make him think about the fellow students in the school and Lin Shi.
He wondered if they had stayed at the school or entered the forest like them in search of an escape route and hope.
As long as they had the determination to consume the bodies of the monsters and plants in the forest, although horrifying, they probably wouldn’t starve to death.
If they ventured deep into the forest, it would result in heavy casualties.
If they chose to stay at the school and the attacking monsters weren’t too formidable, survival might still be a possibility.
Leaving the students at the school was a painful decision for them.
Over the past few days, everyone dared not dwell on it or even confront the fact.
Everyone hoped that Lin Shi could lead the others to keep defending the school.
This way, if they found a way out, there would be hope to come back and bring them along to leave.
Because of this thought, every time they walked a certain distance, they would leave obvious markings for their potential return to the school.
The reason they left the school and entered the forest was partly due to the lack of food.
Another reason was their belief that this forest could not possibly be infinite.
As long as they kept moving in one direction, they could surely make their way out.
Even if they chose to stay at the school and not attempt to find a way out, they couldn’t possibly stay there for the rest of their lives.
Everyone wanted to get out of the forest and return to the world they were accustomed to, thinking of their parents, relatives, and friends…
Although everyone was starting to doubt whether the world they knew was the same as the world they were currently in, as long as the final moment of hope had not completely faded away, there were still expectations in everyone’s hearts.
Sometimes, people need hope to survive.
“Su…Yu is right…” Suddenly, a weak voice sounded from the side.
Everyone turned to look.
Yuan Niping cried out in surprise, “Jiagui, you’ve awoken?”
Qin Jiagui weakly lifted his head.
Although he was seriously injured, his special power was strong.
He finally escaped from the brink of death and regained consciousness quite quickly.
“We…have no way back…we can only move forward…there might still be a glimmer of hope…We won’t know…if there’s a chance…until the very end.
This food…is enough…to last us nearly a month…staying in the forest…will only lead us…to death…”
He could barely finish his sentence when Lei Rui suddenly yelped and jumped to her feet.
Everyone was startled and glanced at her with a hint of irritation.
“What’s wrong?” Su Yun asked.
Pointing at the bags of food on the ground, Lei Rui exclaimed, “Something’s not right, we’re missing some bags.
I counted them stealthily before, there were exactly thirty-two bags.
Now…now there are only twenty-six left.
We’re short by six bags.”
Everyone was startled.
No one had really paid attention to the number of bags.
But now that Lei Rui mentioned it, they realized that some bags indeed appeared to be missing.
“Are you sure?” Zhao Shichang immediately stood up, looking flabbergasted as he starred at Lei Rui.
Lei Rui nodded and stated firmly, “I can’t be wrong.
But how did the bags disappear all of a sudden?
Were they taken by other monsters?
But it seems like the monsters we’ve come across so far aren’t interested in the food we eat.”
Hearing Lei Rui’s analysis, Su Yun suddenly exclaimed, “Could it be other people?”
“Other people?” Everyone felt a shiver down their spines as they exchanged nervous looks.
“Yes, maybe after we entered the inner part of the forest, someone passed through here.
The person or persons must be few in number, maybe even a single person, hence they could only carry six bags of food.
But who would dare to wander in the forest at night?” Lei Rui started analyzing as soon as Su Yun reminded her.
