Chapter 330: Defense and Advance
If Lei Ze had the skills of an organizer.
With these words, coupled with his status as the leader of the team, he would surely be able to impress people soon.
But he is not.
So after Lei Ze finished speaking.
He was not greeted with applause and support, but with silent gazes.
"Lei Ze, I think this place is good."
Soon, one of the awakened spoke.
But he came up and refuted Lei Ze's point of view bluntly, and with good reasons:
"Since Jiuwan City is experiencing a war, we can't go back, so we should manage this open space well. Since there are dangers in front and behind, why bother ourselves?"
As soon as this person finished speaking, the awakened around him immediately agreed:
"That's right!"
"We have finally defended this open space, why should we take risks again?"
"The rioting forest and the war will end sooner or later. Can't we just wait here?"
"..."
The awakened in the camp all catered to this conservative view.
Lei Ze stood in the center of the camp, looking at these guys who agreed with each other, and sighed slightly.
He looked around.
It's not that there are no awakened people who support the explorer's idea, but it is limited to the core members of the original expedition team. For example, the female doctor is nodding to him, expressing her support as usual during adventures.
"That's fine."
Lei Ze nodded slightly. He did not continue to encourage people, but frankly expressed his views:
"In this case, I will not force everyone to agree with me."
"We have different opinions, so before we part, I wish you all safety..."
Lei Ze said goodbye.
But as soon as the words of separate actions were spoken, other awakened people felt bad.
The explorer and his companions are all good at surviving in the wild.
It is essential to maintain this camp.
Lei Ze had only said half of his words when someone immediately tried to stop him:
"Lei Ze, don't be impulsive! Do you think you can guarantee success by going into the forest?"
"That's too risky! Why don't we defend this open space together? At least there won't be any unexpected dangers."
"Don't forget the snakes last night." Lei Ze pointed out the loophole in the other party's words, "The monsters will follow their violent instincts to attack. Whether you defend here or move forward in the forest, you will inevitably encounter such risks."
At this point, Lei Ze took a long breath.
He gathered all his strength in his chest and shouted to the people around him in a deep and loud voice:
"Besides, I am an explorer!"
"If Jiuwan City can turn back, I will definitely send you back safely. But now we are facing a dilemma! The changes in the forest not only threaten our own safety, but also affect the villages and towns in the forest."
"If my actions can make this crisis situation better. Then even if there is little hope, I will definitely try my best!"
Lei Ze's words were powerful.
The awakened ones who were refuting or persuading him just now were all silent, leaving only erratic eyes.
They looked at Lei Ze cautiously.
The timid ones stole a glance at the brave ones, their eyes were like mice looking up at a lion.
After a long time, someone asked weakly:
"We continue to go deeper into the forest, can you guarantee success?"
"Hehe-success?" Lei Ze shook his head and smiled, he stretched out his hand and pointed to his heart, "The so-called adventure never looks at the success rate. It looks here, it belongs to people's courage and wisdom!"
"..."
The awakened one next to him was stunned for a moment.
He thought Lei Ze would say some reliable data, but he didn't expect it to be such an explorer-like speech.
At this point, the ideas of the two groups were basically completely separated.
The split of the team was almost imminent.
But at this moment, someone else stood up.
Ordinary people who had been watching the awakened ones quarreling but had not interrupted them, someone spoke up:
"Mr. Lei Ze, I am willing to take risks with you!"
"If you don't take action when you can do something, that would be truly stupid!"
"Let's go to the forest and have a look!"
"Maybe we can find the treasure that the city lord mentioned, then we can kill two birds with one stone!"
"..."
The awakened ones present.
No one thought that these ordinary people would support Lei Ze at this time.
Even including the explorer himself, the expressions of all the awakened ones were subtle and surprised.
And seeing this scene.
Linsey, who had just stood up, also sat back on the wood of the shelter.
Vickner next to him saw it and asked in a low voice:
"Mr. Drake, do you think the adventure that Lord Lei Ze mentioned is worth a try?"
Lindsay replied calmly:
"Only those who have the courage to take action are qualified to choose their own destiny. There may be a broad road ahead, or there may be a cliff, but at least these are all choices made by oneself."
At this point, Lindsay looked at the young man next to him, and his eyes became serious:
"Just like Vickner, aren't you also a brave man?"
"..."
Vickner's lips trembled and he couldn't speak.
He felt that Lindsay in front of him seemed to be a little different from other awakened people, but his lack of expression ability made him unable to express his specific feelings.
Lindsay looked at the camp.
Ordinary people continued to express their support for Lei Ze, and the wind direction in the team was like a tsunami passing through, and it reversed in an instant.
"I really ignored it."
Lindsay sighed softly.
When Lei Ze was debating with other awakened people.
They focus on the awakened ones themselves and ignore the thoughts of ordinary people.
But the fact is - even if they are affected by the skills of the organizers, the ordinary people who really dare to be the first to go out of the city at this time are the ones who want to seize the opportunity!
The changes in the forest and the civil strife in Jiuwan City.
After two things are over.
As long as the awakened ones do not have any problems themselves, they will still be superior awakened beings and can enjoy all the conveniences in the past.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with thinking from one's own perspective.
But these ordinary people are different!
They were encouraged by Muller Nahun, and with the desire to change their destiny, they left Nine Bays City and joined the team exploring the forest.
They are more eager to succeed!
Countless times more desired than the awakened one!
So much so that when the Awakened wanted to act conservatively, explorer Lei Ze clearly had the upper hand.
These ordinary people did not hesitate to support the latter.
They are willing to risk their own safety and follow the adventurers into the depths of the forest.
There is only one reason.
This may be their chance to change their destiny!
"Mr. Drake, you are still joking."
Next to the shelter.
Wekner, who was looking at Lindsay, scratched his cheek in embarrassment.
But like the ordinary people outside the camp who supported Lei Ze, he replied in a small but firm tone:
"I definitely don't deserve to be called a brave man or anything like that."
"But when it comes to choices, I think it would be more appropriate to continue heading into the forest."
"Maybe our actions can solve the strange changes in the forest?"
