Chapter 26 Team Meeting Chapter 26 Team Meeting
The next morning, Lin Yi stretched like a lazy cat and sat up from the soft bed.
The sunlight poured in through the gaps in the curtains, filling the room like golden thread, bringing a touch of warmth to this cold morning.
He planned to do nothing today, enjoy this rare leisure time, and recharge his energy for the upcoming decisive battle.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Lin Yi found that Komuro Takashi and others were also having dinner there.
The atmosphere at the table seemed a little dull, and everyone's smiles seemed forced, as if they were using smiles to hide their inner uneasiness.
Lin Yi greeted him and sat down to enjoy breakfast.
At this time, Gao Cheng Saya 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 there was something important that she needed to discuss with Lin Yi.
Lin Yi glanced at Saya Takagi and noticed the seductive scenery revealed through her collar, but he did not linger on her gaze for too long.
"Okay, I got it." Lin Yi responded lightly and continued to focus on his breakfast.
An hour later, the group of people who escaped from Fujimi Academy gathered in Saya Takagi's room.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely solemn, as if shrouded by an invisible haze.
Everyone has a different expression on their face: doubt, confusion, worry. All these emotions intertwined together to form a complex picture.
Saya Takagi stood in front of the window, her eyes as sharp as torches, scanning everyone present.
Her voice was heavy and firm: "Can we still be partners after this?"
This question was like a bombshell, causing huge waves in everyone's hearts.
Miyamoto Rei and Komuro Takashi obviously did not expect Takagi Saya to suddenly ask such a question, and expressions of surprise and confusion appeared on their faces.
Lin Yi and Busujima Saeko had some guesses in their minds, and their expressions were relatively calm.
The room fell into a brief silence, with an intense brainstorm going on in everyone's mind.
"We escaped together, so of course we are partners." Komuro Takashi was the first to break the silence. Although his voice was slightly trembling, his tone was extremely firm.
"Yes, we are partners." Miyamoto Reiya echoed. Although her voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.
However, Takagi Saya did not relax because of their answers.
She took a deep breath and continued, "We are now a small team that has entered a larger team. We only have two choices. Either we are absorbed by the big team and stay in it, or we disband and some of us leave and move on."
As Takagi Saya finished her words, the atmosphere in the room instantly became solemn.
Lin Yi frowned slightly, he knew that Takagi Saya's worries were not unreasonable.
The position of their small team in the big team is very delicate.
If they choose to stay, they are likely to be assimilated into the big team and lose their independence and autonomy; 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, gazing into the distance with deep eyes.
Lin Yi opened his mouth slowly and asked a question: "Do you know how much supplies are needed to maintain such a large manor?"
Except for Takagi Saya, everyone else's face showed a look of surprise and doubt.
"It seems that everyone has realized 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 a turbulence at any time.
"Don't be fooled by the peaceful appearance of the manor now. In fact, it also hides many hidden dangers." His tone was solemn, as if warning everyone not to be fooled by the tranquility in front of them.
"It's not the lack of wealth that is worrying, but the inequality of wealth." Lin Yi continued, "Such a large house is undoubtedly a huge psychological gap for the survivors who can only live in tents. This gap can easily breed dissatisfaction and resentment."
Lin Yi turned around and faced everyone: "Moreover, maintaining the daily consumption of such a large manor, supplies are 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 town, but as time goes by, the problem of shortage of supplies will inevitably become more prominent."
He paused, as if giving everyone time to digest the information, and then continued: "Once supplies are scarce, the people below will riot due to the pressure of life. This is human nature and an unavoidable reality."
After Lin Yi's reminder, everyone woke up from their dream and realized that danger was quietly approaching them.
Everyone who was originally immersed in the wonderful life in the manor couldn't help but feel a chill at this moment.
Saya Takagi turned her gaze 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 no one said it, they all tacitly agreed that Lin Yi's opinion was the main one.
"Then Lin Yi, do you want to go with us?" There was a hint of pleading in Takagi Saya's tone, hoping that Lin Yi could leave with everyone.
Lin Yi shook his head gently: "Sorry, I have other things to do tomorrow, so I may not be able to go with you."
Gao Cheng Saya showed a trace of disappointment on her 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: "Eliminate the source of all this."
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into deathly silence, and you could hear a pin drop.
Komuro Takashi swallowed, obviously very surprised by Lin Yi's sudden remarks.
"Has the source of the virus been found?" There was a slight tremor in Saya Takagi's voice, and she was obviously very concerned about this issue.
"Well, on a research ship in Tokyo Bay." Lin Yi's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
However, his words caused a stir among the crowd.
Tokyo Bay? Research ship? These words combined together made everyone feel an inexplicable fear and uneasiness.
Lin Yi didn't say much, but everyone's face showed a worried look.
As a high school student, although Takashi Komuro is a little timid, he also has a dream of saving the world.
He was about to ask for more details when Miyamoto Rei grabbed his sleeve.
Miyamoto Rei pulled Komuro Takashi hard, signaling him not to be impulsive.
She understood what Komuro Takashi was thinking, but she also knew that Lin Yi's abilities far exceeded those of anyone else in their team.
If Komuro Takashi acts rashly, it will only add burden to Lin Yi and may even endanger his own life.
Takashi Komuro sighed and gave up the unrealistic idea in his mind.
