Chapter 59 Voting
The journey back was surprisingly smooth, especially in the first section. I didn’t even encounter an ant, but occasionally saw the corpses of a few reptiles.
Chen Mu took a closer look and found that the body was covered in bruises and the head had suffered multiple blows. There were many small stones scattered around. It seemed that someone had stoned him to death from a distance.
"Is he from No. 1 Middle School?"
He Ying immediately thought of the old enemy from No. 1 Middle School and immediately became nervous.
Sun Yuan also activated his ability and began to listen to his surroundings.
"There was no movement."
"Maybe not." Chen Mu said, "It looks like he died not long ago. It's very likely... that it was Song Yu and the others." "
Moving objects..."
"It seems like this person is indeed very strong. Chen
Mu said while carefully observing the scattered stones and the corpse of the insect.
This is a small green insect, about the same length as a human and as thick as a thigh. It is a relatively small insect. It is green all over and looks like it eats grass.
The stones scattered around are very small, much smaller than the stones Dong Junwei used to make grenades. To today's humans, they are more like glass balls. If they were not scattered almost evenly around, Chen Mu would also You may not notice anything.
"Can he control so much at once?" He Ying also changed his face a little.
"It may not be all at once." Chen Mu observed for a long time and said: "Judging from the size of the stones, our guess just now is correct. He cannot control larger objects for the time being, so he can only rely on constantly using small stones to control them. Attacking bugs, but judging from the wounds, his speed of moving objects is indeed not slow."
"Song Yu is indeed very strong?"
"Strength is a must, otherwise how dare you walk around outside at will." Chen Mu shook his head: "But that's not what I'm surprised about."
"What is that?"
"We walked along and most of the dead bugs were very small, just like this one. They obviously don't pose a threat to people. I don't know what they are for. , It is obviously unreasonable to have to kill these bugs and waste mental energy for no reason."
"Really..."
"Maybe to... vent his anger?" Feng Xiaoyu listened for a long time, then interrupted: "Because I didn't win over Senior He Ying, why are you so angry?"
"Song Yu doesn't look like that kind of person." Chen Mu shook his head: "Maybe there are some things we don't know. After all, there are many people on the other side, and it is normal for them to know more about supernatural powers than us. Things."
"Then let's..."
"Let's go back first and discuss today's affairs with everyone."
...
There was no words all the way.
It was about noon when I returned to the storage room.
Dong Junwei and others came over and saw that there was only one more person, looking a little unnatural.
"What happened?"
"He was cut off halfway."
Seeing that Chen Mu didn't look serious, Dong Junwei knew that the two people were not killed, so she asked: "Cut off?" "
That's what He Ying said last time. Those people."
Chen Mu briefly recounted what happened today.
He Ying added: "The person sent over the Qingbei is Song Yu."
"Song Yu?"
Dong Junwei didn't seem to have much reaction, but nodded thoughtfully: "This man used to be very good. Excellent, it seems that he has awakened powerful abilities now."
Chen Mu recounted his guess again.
When they heard that the other party had these two magical abilities, everyone became nervous.
Chen Mu smiled and said: "There is no need to worry too much. We are not enemies. Moreover, if they are stronger, they may be able to restrain the group of people in No. 1 Middle School." Tang Jing said: "I suspect that something happened over there on the playground on the day of the disaster
. Something special."
"Something special? What?"
"I don't know, but it's obvious that the proportion of people there who survived is far higher than that in other places, and it should have happened in Yizhong and Qingbei. A large-scale conflict led to the current situation."
"The No. 1 Middle School is in the cafeteria, and the Qingbei is in the playground. Our current location is exactly in the middle." "
It sounds terrible..."
"Actually..." Chen Mu said : "It's not necessarily bad to join Qingbei, but I can't make decisions for everyone, so I dare not agree to Song Yu, but I think we should formally discuss this issue." Chen Mu had discussed this issue with Dong Junwei and Tang Jing before, and always
said Generally speaking, the three of them don't have much willingness to seek refuge with others.
This is also normal.
Not to mention Dong Junwei's strong character, even Chen Mu doesn't like the feeling of being under someone else's roof. The three of them have the final say in today's team. If they go to other places, they may not be able to help themselves.
But this kind of thing ultimately depends on everyone's wishes.
"I think we are living a good life now, there is no need to go to Qingbei." Wei Dalei was the first to express his opinion.
"The main reason is that their names are too silly." Chang Junyan said, scratching his arm.
Dong Junwei thought for a while: "How about a show of hands to vote?"
"This kind of vote is meaningless." Tang Jing said: "Even if someone wants to go to Qingbei, they won't say it because of the majority of people's opinions. Moreover, you just As I said, they didn't even leave a contact address, so how can we find them?"
Chen Mu thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea."
"Let's talk about it."
"Let's do a secret ballot, at least we will know Let’s take a look at how many people have this idea. If more than half of them want to go to Qingbei, then we will take the initiative to find each other. After we find them, those who want to go can go and those who want to stay can stay; but if not more than half, we will continue to maintain it. The current situation is based on an independent plan. If you meet them again in the future, you can stay or go as you like. What do you think?" "Okay." "
I
agree."
"..."
"But why vote secretly?" Du Jiajia ask.
"I will make a small iron wire for each person, and then everyone puts the iron wire into an iron box one by one. If you want to go to Qingbei, bend the wire when you put it into the iron box. If you don't want to, just keep it as it is. ."
When there is no pen and paper, voting can only be done in this primitive way.
Twelve people in total.
Chen Mu quickly made twelve thin wires only as long as his fingers.
Then, another iron box was made.
There is only a round hole left on the iron box that can be reached into.
so.
When everyone puts the wire in, they can decide whether to bend it at will without others knowing.
The voting ceremony began soon.
The scene was a bit heavy at one point.
Wei Dalei wanted to discuss it with Zhao Xiaoyan several times, but he didn't dare to say it and didn't know what to say.
He Ying and Feng Xiaoyu communicated with their eyes, but they didn't know what choice they would make in the end.
Dong Junwei was the first to step forward.
She put her hand holding the wire into the round hole of the iron box.
After holding it for about three seconds.
Take your hand back and open your palm to show that you have put the wire in.
With her setting an example, everyone naturally lined up to vote.
No one spoke.
The scene was very quiet.
But everyone did not hesitate in their movements. They just followed Dong Junwei's example and held the position for three seconds while the speaker's hand was deep into the iron box.
After everyone has voted.
Dong Junwei said: "Chen Mu, come and open the box."
Chen Mu nodded, stepped forward, opened the iron box without any pretense, then turned around and dumped everything inside to the ground.
Ding-dang-dang...
a series of sounds of wire falling to the ground.
Everyone's eyes were focused.
on the ground.
There were more than a dozen wires lying in various directions.
The number could not be counted at one time.
But what is clear at a glance is that all the wires maintain their original straight appearance.
Not a single bend.
