Chapter 742: Indistinguishable From Each Other
Lin Shi caught the words this person said:
"How long have I been in seclusion?"
"You have been in seclusion for two weeks!" said the tribesman.
No wonder Lin Shi felt something strange around him when he just opened his eyes, but he didn't think about it for a while.
He just probed his spiritual power into the center of the earth, but he didn't expect that so much time had passed without him noticing?
"What were you discussing just now?"
Lin Shi asked.
Another tribe member spoke first:
"Go back to the head of the family. Recently, I got news that more than a dozen bases around the world have suffered natural disasters of varying degrees.
These bases hope that the Xia government will come forward to provide humanitarian assistance and provide them with medical supplies and food. And someone has set his sights on us.
The head of the Xia family asked the deputy head of the family to go to the official base for a meeting. I heard that the deputy heads of several large bases went to the official base to ask for things. We were just discussing whether to help those people."
"In my opinion, those bases deserve it! They didn't believe your words before the end of the world. When the end of the world came, their own bases were not well defended and the supplies were insufficient. In the end, they came to us for things. Who gave them the face!"
"But we can't do nothing. After all, we are all human beings. If we lose our lips, we will be in trouble."
Some tribe members also said this.
Lin Shi understood.
"Okay, I know, you guys go away."
The subtitles popped up again on the cornucopia interface:
[Do you feel the will of Blue Star? ]
When Lin Shi's mental power fell into the center of the earth, the cornucopia felt abnormal and tried to call.
But no matter how it called, Lin Shi did not respond.
"Yes, I feel the will of Blue Star."
Lin Shi said to the cornucopia as he walked out.
......
The official base's meeting room at this time was more lively than usual.
The deputy leaders of more than a dozen bases seemed to have colluded long ago.
They came to the official base with a group of subordinates and asked for supplies from the official base and the Lin family base.
And they put on a rogue posture of "I won't leave if you don't give it to me."
Among them are several large bases composed of major countries before the end of the world.
For example, Dawn Base, Ganges Base, Sun Base, Windmill Base, etc.
"Chief Xia, our Sun Base lost tens of thousands of people in this earthquake, and one-third of the base's buildings were damaged. The losses were heavy. The supplies you sent over are not enough!"
"Chief Xia, the survivors of my Ganges Base are already starving and killing each other. You are a great country with countless supplies, you can't just ignore it!"
"Chief Xia, our base..."
All the bases complained. Although they had received official icebreakers and certain supplies from the Xia country, they hoped that Xia Chun would be generous again.
The deputy chief of the Dawn Base knocked on the table and said a bunch of high-sounding nonsense:
"Chief Xia, when facing the most difficult time in history, mankind should unite and resist the difficulties together!! As long as Xia country is willing to help us, we will be an unbreakable partner in the future!"
People from other bases echoed.
"Right!"
"That's right!"
Xia Chun glanced at the deputy chief. He had seen this man at the international conference he attended on behalf of Xia Guohong. Before the end of the world, these people didn't say that.
At that time, these countries knew that Xia was building bases and hoarding supplies, and they all mocked Xia for being stupid.
Now that other countries are short of resources, and the base buildings are unstable in the face of natural disasters, they turned to the official bases.
Previously, Xia had provided a lot of help to these bases, but they could not satisfy these bases.
They themselves did not develop well, and they encountered natural disasters, so they naturally set their sights on Xia.
Xia Chun clapped his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet.
"We already know your intentions, and we are also willing to help you overcome difficulties, but our resources are also limited and cannot meet the needs of all bases."
Xia Chun had just finished speaking when the deputy leader of the windmill base stood up excitedly and said:
"What should we do?! Are we just waiting to die?!"
The location of the windmill base recently encountered a severe snowstorm, and the entire base was almost trapped in the snowstorm.
More than 100,000 survivors of the windmill base, who were originally few in number, died due to lack of supplies.
And because of the blizzard, the surrounding source beasts fled one after another, so that now the survivors of the windmill base have to go hundreds of kilometers away or even farther to find source beasts if they want to hunt.
Xia Chun comforted:
"How about this, let's first count the losses and needs of each base, and then provide help based on the actual situation."
Other bases thought Xia Chun was trying to delay time, and they all quit.
"The little supplies you gave us are not enough for so many bases to share!!"
"That's right! That's right! You have so many supplies in Xia Country, what's wrong with giving us more?!"
"We are all human beings, are you just going to watch them die without helping?!"
"......"
As these people spoke louder, the entire base conference room was as noisy as a vegetable market.
"Okay, everyone be quiet!"
The deputy leader of the Dawn Base suddenly stood up and said:
"This incident cannot be blamed on the Xia Country base. Our bases are too far apart. In the face of disaster, we cannot help each other. So, I would like to make a small suggestion and ask what you think."
The deputy leader of the Dawn Base spoke, and the others quieted down.
Xia Chun stared at the deputy leader of the Dawn Base. His eyes behind the glasses were dim and unclear, making it difficult to see his expression.
The deputy leader of the Dawn Base cleared his throat and said loudly:
"Except for Xia Country, few of our bases were built in advance before the end of the world. Everyone has many deficiencies in base facilities and base defense.
The resistance to disasters is not enough. Not only that, because everyone is too far away, if they encounter troubles, they cannot fight together. They are like a pile of loose sand, which is not conducive to the revival of mankind."
Others nodded in agreement.
Someone asked:
"What should we do? In the past, airplanes and ships could shorten the distance between countries. But in the current bad weather, even if there are airplanes, they cannot take off, and ships cannot go out. What can we talk about helping each other?!"
Others also echoed.
The deputy leader of the Dawn Base raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet:
"Everyone, please be patient. This is what I am going to say next.
Since we are too far apart to help each other, we can gather all the remaining people together.
As long as we gather together and live in the same base, we can help each other and survive together in this harsh environment!"
"How can such a large base accommodate the survivors from so many countries?"
Someone else asked.
One question and one answer, it is obviously a routine rehearsed in advance.
Hearing this, Xia Chun already knew what the deputy leader of the Dawn Base was going to say next.
But he did not interrupt and continued to listen quietly.
The deputy leader of the Dawn Base looked at Xia Chun:
"Nowadays, only the bases in Xia Country have very complete defense and facilities, and there are still many vacancies in the two large bases of Xia Country."
"This time, I asked Leader Xia to call the leaders of the Lin Family Base together, just to discuss with you. I hope that Leader Xia can agree to let people from our bases enter the Xia Country base for refuge in the spirit of humanitarianism.
As long as our people can enter the safe Xia Country base, from now on, we don’t need to ask you for help with our material problems. We can also help you guard the base together. From now on, we will be a loving family in the world, no one can distinguish between us!"
As soon as these words came out, the heads of other bases were all surprised.
"I agree!"
"I support the opinion of the deputy leader of the Dawn Base!"
"I agree too!!"
