Chapter 18

The man with glasses sat in the center, and seemed to be the "leader" they guessed.

But the leader must have had a hard time, for his shirt was wrinkled and his hair was greasy, and it looked like he hadn't had a good grooming in a few days.

Shen Mo asked: "What is information exchange?"

The other party gently pushed down his glasses, and said slowly: "You can understand it as information sharing. Everyone must share valuable information without reservation, so that everyone can discuss countermeasures together. Idea, that's never going to solve the problem, is it?"

This is true, fighting alone is far less safe and effective than cooperation with multiple people. From ancient times to the present, human beings have solved countless problems through team cooperation, which can be described as one of the greatest wisdoms of human beings.

However, once there are too many cooperating people, it is inevitable to fish in troubled waters, or to take advantage of the fire.

Bai Youwei hugged her plush rabbit, and said softly: "But we don't know what kind of information is valuable..."

She suddenly spoke in such a sweet voice, Shen Mo was startled, and goosebumps arose on both hands holding the wheelchair.

But she still raised her head pretendingly, and looked at him pitifully: "Brother, do you know?"

Shen Mo: "..."

He choked.

Maybe Bai Youwei's appearance was too deceptive, the man with glasses was very helpful, and explained gently: "Don't worry, since you can come from there, you should meet those dolls on the road, right? Anything related to dolls is fine Talk about it, the more detailed the better, even if it’s something you can’t figure out, telling everyone may give you new inspiration.”

Bai Youwei pursed her lips, pretending to be thinking hard.

"Well... On the way we came, we met a bald man driving a pickup truck. He drove past the section with dolls, and nothing happened at all, so my brother and I followed him... But the people behind , all turned into dolls. So, I think...is there a limit on the number of people? If the number is small, maybe it can pass safely?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at the man with glasses anxiously: "Is this... valuable information?"

The man with glasses looked even softer, "Forget it. Your findings are consistent with our recent observations. Come and sit down."

Bai Youwei showed a relieved expression on her face, and smiled gratefully at the man with glasses.

Shen Mo saw that she was acting vigorously, so he had to passively play the role of a "silent" brother, pushing the wheelchair past without saying a word.

People spontaneously moved some seats, allowing Bai Youwei and Shen Mo to sit in. This also indirectly shows the leading position of the man with glasses in this group.

Shen Mo pulled up a chair and sat beside the wheelchair.

Bai Youwei raised her innocent face and asked, "If nothing happens as long as the number of people is small, isn't it safer to go alone?"

"There are various restrictions. The number of people is only the most intuitive one. There must be hidden conditions. After all, the first batch of people who turned into dolls all changed suddenly when they were alone, so it's hard to say for the time being."

The man in glasses stopped talking, and looked at the others, "Let's continue with the question just now. The companion who went out to explore the road today has not returned yet. What do you think should be done now? Do you have to wait?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one spoke for a while.

The man with glasses scanned around, and said in a deep voice, "If you go directly, there must be risks, but the water and electricity in the service area will be cut off at any time, and we can't last long."

"Otherwise..." Someone hesitated and said, "Send a few more people to scout the way?"

This proposal was immediately rejected: "Who will go? Those people didn't come back, maybe they died on the way! Who dares to go? Are you going?"

"... Then you can't just wait here to die."

"Maybe there is no danger on the road, maybe they ran away first!"

"Impossible, the luggage is still in the service area..."
