Chapter 6: The Consciousness of Being a Captain
Everyone stared at Li Shuaixi blankly. This ordinary young man with ordinary appearance, ordinary physical strength, and ordinary expertise. In short, it was an ordinary young man who was useless. If Chu Xuan had not talked about him, no one would have thought of this young man deliberately. He was as ordinary as air.
Li Shuaixi was stunned for a while, and suddenly blushed and shouted: "Why is it me? Why is it me? There are so many people here, everyone wants to spend this horror movie safely, why do you have to die? Do you want to kill me? If there is one person missing the food here, you can live for a while, so you want to kill me, right?"
Chu Xuan looked at him silently and said, "No, I don't mean to let you die. Although it is indeed very dangerous to be a bait, you are the most suitable candidate for being a bait. Everyone here is better than you. Li Xiaoyi, Zhang Jie, Zhan Lan, Zheng Zha are all veterans who have lived in horror movies. I can plan all the next actions, zero o'clock, his melee and sniper ability are very outstanding. The Overlord is good at many guns, and may also include guns in the merchant ship arsenal. So tell me, what is your role for us?"
[In fact, Zhan Lan is the most suitable candidate for bait. Not only is she a woman, but she was also injured just now. Chu Xuan did not make this opinion because he didn't want to be an enemy of us...]
In fact, Yang Yun was wrong about this. Since Zheng Zha has been helping Zhan Lan, Chu Xuan could not exclude women, let alone seniors, and the women of the main melee Zheng Zha. Doing so obviously puts himself in the position of being an enemy of veterans, so he can only choose Li Shuaixi.
Li Shuaixi lowered his head and said nothing, but his face turned redder and his hands were even more blue veins. Chu Xuan said lightly: "If it were in ordinary circumstances, everyone had their own talents. I would never measure someone by numbers and abilities. In layman's terms, I would never be as utilitarian as I am now, but you have to know our current situation. We are fighting death. Any small mistake may make us die here! You are the extra one of us, so if you want to get the accommodation and treatment of our large army, you must let us see your use, otherwise what is the difference between you and the seven dead people thrown outside the wall?"
Zheng Zha finally couldn't help but say loudly: "I can't, I don't agree with your statement. When I just came in, I was an ordinary person. It was because I was strengthened to have the current skills. Why is Li Shuaixi who is redundant? As long as he is given the opportunity to spend a few more horror movies, he will be our reliable partner!"
Chu Xuan still said lightly: "But... does he have that kind of opportunity? To be precise, can we have the chance to survive this horror movie? If the same reward points and physical strengthening are the six of us will be far better than him. Also, don't say that we will replace him. Everyone has their own part of responsibility. You are the biggest support we have ever lived in this horror movie. Do you want to save someone and let all of us die?"
"Bastard! I just opened the gene lock. I can go and deal with the aliens!" Zheng Zha couldn't listen anymore and stood up suddenly.
"Gene lock!?" Everyone looked at Zheng Zha in surprise.
"You opened the gene lock?" Chu Xuan also had a shocked expression on his face.
"Yes, I opened the gene lock! There is no need to implement the bait plan, right?" Zheng Zha said.
Li Shuaixi just breathed a sigh of relief, but Chu Xuan cruelly broke his hope: "No, it still needs to be implemented."
"Why?" Zheng Zha rushed over and lifted Chu Xuan's collar. Zhang Jie hugged him and dragged him back to his original place.
"How sure are you to deal with the plural aliens at the same time?" Chu Xuan asked calmly, "Indeed, I admit that you have strong combat power, but because of this, I cannot let you take risks. You are the most important person here, and you cannot die."
"Our weapon with the greatest lethality to aliens is the strong merging gun, and the gene lock is to unlock human combat instincts and does not have the application of guns. You cannot go from an ordinary person to those sharpshooters who hit every shot in the special forces!"
"You bastard! You must have been trying to get along with me on purpose, right? If it were you, could you accept death so calmly?" Seeing that hope was broken again, Li Shuaixi began to curse.
"The wisdom of mortals... no one cannot die, even if it is myself who sacrifices himself. As long as you win, it doesn't matter how much sacrifice it takes."
Chu Xuan said expressionlessly, and with that firm tone, it really made people feel that what he said was false.
[Chu Xuan, is this your true words? You are really too dangerous before you understand the meaning of your partner...]
"Zheng Zha, you should wake up." Yang Yun saw that he had already said this and felt that he should say something.
"Who do you think you are? Savior? Superman? None of them, you are just a member of the Reincarnation Team who survived a horror movie, a more powerful ordinary person... This world is a cruel world, and anyone is just trying hard to survive, and you cannot protect everyone."
Every word hit Zheng Zha's heart like a bell. The man gritted his teeth and even bit his lower lip and didn't know it. Anyone could see the pain and struggle in his heart now.
Li Shuaixi stared at Zheng Zha, hoping that he could speak for himself, Zheng Zha was his only hope now...
[It's true. Forget it, this kind of thing can only be understood by yourself. No matter how much I say it, it will be useless. You will know the despicableness of human nature in the curse...]
[I hope you can understand it earlier, our Captain of the Virgin. The Buddha still has the appearance of being angry with the Vajra. He blindly good will only grow more evil. This is why the replica Zheng Zha hates you so much...]
Yang Yun looked at Zheng Zha's reaction, sighed, and said two words softly:
"Loli."
It was these two words that destroyed Zheng Zha’s last spiritual defense line.
Yes, he can't die because he still has Loli, the woman he loves most in his life...
"I understand...at least, raise your hands to vote once?" After another silence, Zheng Zha finally said slowly.
Li Shuaixi's face suddenly turned pale. Everyone knew that this vote was just a formality. Zheng Zha's words had completely erased his hopes.
The final result was as expected. Six votes agreed and two votes opposed, and Li Shuaixi's fate was decided. He either obeyed the plan and used it as bait to gain recognition from the team, or left the team and could not get a little food and water. At the same time, he would also lose the protection of the team.
Li Shuaixi's appearance was extremely excited. Zero and Overlord stood silently beside Chu Xuan. Everyone thought he was about to explode. Unexpectedly, the young man took a few deep breaths and gradually calmed down. He looked at Chu Xuan with a resentful look and said, "Okay, I will be a bait. Just like all you hope, I will be a bait!"
Everyone was chilling when they saw the resentment in his eyes. Zheng Zha did not see all this. He kept bowing his head and was silent. After the vote, he quietly walked to the remote part of the control room, sitting there alone silently.
"Are you okay, Zheng Zha." Yang Yun walked over and said.
After a moment of silence, Zheng Zha said, "Li Xiaoyi, are you afraid of death too?"
"That's right, who in this world is not afraid of death?" Yang Yun admitted openly.
"Yes, I'm also very afraid of death, everyone is afraid. No one is really safe in this place, so why do you have to push the danger to others? What the remaining people have only temporary safety. Whoever is more competent for this task should choose to complete it..."
"I think Chu Xuan is right. If it is under normal circumstances, your statement is indeed reasonable and should be done like this. Everyone has their strengths, and they should not measure someone based on numbers and abilities. But now we are not facing ordinary situations, we are facing death... Why should we protect a person who has no use for free?"
A voice suddenly sounded beside the two of them. Zheng Zha looked up and found that it was Zhan Lan who also came over.
Zheng Zha fell silent again. After a long time, he finally murmured: "...I can't refute. Yes, maybe you and Chu Xuan are right, but I still hope that everyone can unite and everyone can survive as much as possible, rather than strong people oppressing weak people. If we encounter the same situation in the first horror movie, how will we think in our hearts? Isn't it resentment to everyone and the world?"
Yang Yun patted Zheng Zha on the shoulder and said, "Nothing is really right, and nothing is really wrong. You think too much. Friends are important, but as the leader, you cannot put yourself on an equal position with them. The stronger your ability, the greater the responsibility. The safety of all team members will be borne by you. What should you abandon and what should you insist on, Zheng Zha, think about it carefully..."
"Although we have only passed one horror movie, we all regard you as the captain of this team. You are the backbone of this team. If you want to do what a captain should do, you must know that one of your decisions may lead to all of us dying here. Now is not the time to be confused. Zheng Zha, hurry up and return to normal and work hard to survive..."
"Yes, try to survive..." Zheng Zha sighed again.
