Chapter 26 Team Meeting
The next morning, Lin Yi stretched like a lazy cat and sat up from the soft bed.
The sun shines through the gaps in the curtains, covering the room like golden threads, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold morning.
He planned to do nothing today, enjoy this rare free time, and recharge his batteries for the upcoming decisive battle.
Arriving at the restaurant, Lin Yi found that Komuro Takashi and others were also dining here.
The atmosphere at the dinner table seemed a bit dull, and everyone's smiles were a little forced, as if they were hiding their inner uneasiness with smiles.
Lin Yi said hello and sat down to enjoy breakfast.
At this time, Gaocheng Shaye came over. She came to Lin Yi and whispered: "Lin Yi, come to my room later. I have something to say."
There was a hint of urgency in her voice, as if she had something important to discuss with Lin Yi.
Lin Yi glanced at Gaocheng Saya and noticed the seductive scenery exposed in her collar, but he did not stay too long.
"Okay, I understand." Lin Yi responded lightly and continued to focus on his breakfast.
An hour later, a group of people who had escaped from Tatemi Academy gathered in Saya Takagi's room.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely solemn, as if shrouded in an invisible haze.
Everyone has different expressions on their faces, including doubts, confusion, and worry. All kinds of emotions are intertwined to form a complex picture.
Gao Cheng Saya stood in front of the window, his eyes sweeping over everyone present.
Her voice was heavy and firm: "Can we still be partners after this?"
This issue was like a bombshell, causing huge waves in everyone's mind.
Miyamoto Rei and Komuro Takashi obviously did not expect that Takagi Saya would suddenly ask such a question, and there were expressions of surprise and confusion on their faces.
Lin Yi and Busujima Saeko had some suspicions in their minds, and their expressions were relatively calm.
There was a brief silence in the room, and a fierce brainstorm was going on in everyone's mind.
"We escaped together, of course we are partners." Komuro Takashi was the first to break the silence. Although his voice was trembling, his tone was extremely firm.
"Yes, we are partners." Rei Miyamoto agreed. Although her voice was soft, it revealed unquestionable determination.
However, Takagi Saya did not relax because of their answers.
She took a deep breath and continued: "Now as a small team, we have entered a larger team. There are only two options left for us. Either be absorbed by this big team or stay in this big team. ; Or break up and some people leave here and move on.”
After Takagi Saya finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room instantly became solemn.
Lin Yi frowned slightly. He knew that Gao Chengshaye's worries were not unreasonable.
The position of their small team in the larger team is very delicate.
If they choose to stay, they are likely to be assimilated into the larger team and lose their independence and autonomy; and if they choose to leave, they will have to face greater dangers and uncertainties.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Yi. He stood by the window and looked deeply into the distance.
Lin Yi spoke slowly and asked a question: "Do you know how much supplies are needed to maintain such a large manor?"
Except for Saya Takagi, everyone else's faces showed surprise and uncertainty. "It seems that everyone is aware of it." Lin Yi said slowly, his eyes still not leaving the tent area on the right side of the manor. The survivors gathered there were like a potential undercurrent that could cause waves at any time.
"Don't look at the peacefulness of the manor now, but in fact there are many hidden dangers." His tone was a bit solemn, as if to warn everyone not to be fooled by the calm in front of them.
"Don't worry about scarcity but inequality." Lin Yi continued, "Such a large bungalow is undoubtedly a huge psychological gap for those survivors who can only live in tents. This kind of gap can easily Breeds dissatisfaction and resentment.”
Lin Yi turned around and faced everyone: "Moreover, maintaining the daily consumption of such a large manor is also a huge problem. Gasoline, drinking water, food... these are all essential supplies. Now that the virus has just broken out, We can still collect some from the towns, but as time goes by, the shortage of supplies will inevitably become apparent.”
He paused, as if giving everyone time to digest the information, and then continued: "Once supplies are in short supply, the people down there will riot because of the pressure of life. This is human nature and an unavoidable reality."
After Lin Yi's reminder, everyone woke up and realized that danger was quietly approaching them.
Everyone who had been immersed in the wonderful life of the manor couldn't help but feel a chill at this moment.
Gao Chengshaye's eyes turned to Lin Yi. She knew very well that Lin Yi was the core of this team and his decisions could often lead everyone in the right direction.
Although everyone didn't say it with their mouths, they already tacitly accepted Lin Yi's opinion in their hearts.
"So Lin Yi, do you want to come with us?" Gaocheng Saya's tone contained a hint of pleading, hoping that Lin Yi could leave with everyone.
Lin Yi shook his head slightly: "Sorry, I have other things to do tomorrow, so I may not be able to set off with you."
There was a trace of disappointment on Saya Takagi's face, but she did not give up and continued to ask: "What are you going to do?"
Lin Yi took a deep breath and said slowly: "Destroy the source of all this."
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into a deathly silence, and you could hear a pin drop clearly.
Komuro Takashi swallowed, obviously very surprised by Lin Yi's sudden speech.
"Has the source of the virus been found?" Saya Gaocheng's voice was trembling, obviously she was very concerned about this issue.
"Well, on a scientific research ship in Tokyo Bay." Lin Yi's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about an insignificant thing.
However, his words caused an uproar in everyone's hearts.
Tokyo Bay? Research ship? The combination of these words makes everyone feel an inexplicable fear and uneasiness.
Lin Yi didn't say much, but everyone had a worried look on their faces.
As a high school student, Komuro Takashi is usually timid, but he also has a dream of saving the world.
He was about to ask for more details, but Rei Miyamoto grabbed his sleeve by the side.
Miyamoto Rei pulled Komuro Takashi hard to signal him not to be impulsive.
She understood what Takashi Komuro was thinking, but she also knew that Lin Yi's abilities far exceeded those of the others in their team.
If Komuro Takashi acts rashly, it will only add burden to Lin Yi and may even endanger his own life.
Komuro Takashi sighed and gave up his unrealistic thoughts.
