Chapter 171: Chapter 166 This is the Doomsday Train! (5000 more, asking for monthly tickets!)"What’s that, what rumors?" KIKI heard their conversation and immediately asked in confusion. Shu Qin looked at KIKI with a complicated expression, then turned to Lin Xian. "They are talking about that ’group hunting effect’ rumor, haven’t you heard about it?" "Group hunting effect?" Lin Xian’s eyes sharpened: "Is it related to the situation here?" Shu Qin’s eyes darkened slightly: "They are just baseless rumors." "How could it be just rumors?" Hearing this, Zhou Yixuan hurried over with an anxious look: "Didn’t we just join forces with Lao Xu and the others at the Qu Pass, and then encountered a zombie surge that same night?" "Didn’t I tell you that was done by the Black Crow Four-man Team?!" Shu Qin immediately responded. "But what about the Blood Ghosts later on? We lost four vehicles that night." Zhou Yixuan became more agitated as he spoke: "And Yu Bei City, why were there so many zombies and monsters, many people think it’s too unusual, it must be because too many survivors gathered there, which triggered the group hunting effect. Now, on our way here, we haven’t seen any other fleets, only the Fireline Fleet had an incident here, they merged three fleets, Sister Qin, isn’t this the fact?" Upon hearing this, Lin Xian immediately understood; it’s not only Zhou Yixuan who thought of this, he had considered it too. "So the meaning of the group hunting effect is that the more people there are, the more Abnormal Bodies will come to hunt, is that what it means?" Chen Sixuan also asked at this moment. Shu Qin nodded, speaking in a grave tone, "Yes, that’s it. Previously on some survivor radios, there were some rumors, saying the bigger the survivor teams get, the more Abnormal Bodies and monsters they encounter, but there’s another explanation too, saying that when two prey animals that are being chased meet, what does it imply?" "It means there are two hunters following them," Lin Xian answered. "Right, either way, it indicates that the bigger the group, the greater the danger. Many survivors are now continuously grouping together, and I feel this might just be what those monsters want to see," Zhou Yixuan said. "They want to wipe us all out in one swoop!" Another girl said with a fearful expression. Upon hearing this, Lin Xian’s expression brightened; this theory indeed seemed quite credible, he even tended to agree more with the hunter’s judgment. From the pursuit of Red Earthworms, to the chase of the White Giant Monster, including the Atmospheric Mica’s pursuit of the Iron Guard Brigade, whether it’s coincidental or seizing upon rumors, it seems to have some significance. "I understand." Lin Xian nodded: "You think that merging with us brings more danger, right?" "Captain Lin..." Shu Qin just wanted to speak but then saw Lin Xian wave his hand, indicating that he should finish speaking. Zhou Yixuan, hearing Lin Xian’s words, suddenly froze, his expression excited a moment before, now faltering. At the beginning in the repair workshop, he indeed was not very proactive, Lin Xian had noticed, and not everyone in Shu Qin’s team shared the same thoughts. "No, Captain Lin, I didn’t mean that..." Zhou Yixuan’s face was fearful, his voice trembling slightly: "Everyone thinks that following a Superpower User or joining a large vehicle group will have a higher survival rate, indeed, it is so. With Silver Star, Dragon Mountain No.1, so many people, including the Phoenix Society, but for us ordinary people, rashly grouping increases risk disproportionately to our strength, I’m just worried... worried that we will become a burden on your Infinity." When he said this, the expressions of the people in Shu Qin’s team were complex, with different looks in their eyes. Lin Xian looked at Zhou Yixuan, seeing through his lie with a glance. Worrying about becoming a burden was fake, fearing becoming the Superpower Users’ cannon fodder was real, his worry was actually not unfounded. If according to the group hunting effect theory, the troubles faced by powerful Superpower Users or large vehicle groups when combined together, are a disaster for the other ordinary fleets, even an unjust calamity. "But under the collapsed nest, thinking about problems with such sophisticated refuge mentality is already heading to the extreme." "Simply put, a normal person wouldn’t think like Zhou Yixuan. Even if they did think that way, they wouldn’t say it out loud, because it likely wouldn’t change anything. Sticking together, clinging to the strong, and seeking benefits while avoiding harm are human instincts." "Zhou Yixuan’s expression at this moment clearly showed that his rationality had been overwhelmed by fear. He attributed all the troubles they encountered on the road to Shu Qin’s team and other fleets not adhering to the group hunting effect, because as an ordinary person, he couldn’t change anything. Thus, he believed that Shu Qin’s decision to join the Infinity would bring more trouble, and that trouble would definitely fall on them, the ordinary people." "The recent death of Zhong Jiahao’s family further reinforced Zhou Yixuan’s desire to escape." "Lin Xian looked at Zhou Yixuan and then at the others. At this moment, a strong smell of blood drifted over the highway, and he said solemnly," "Whether this group hunting effect is real or not, unity has always been a way for humanity to amplify individual influence, so I respect your choices." "Shu Qin." "Lin Xian, with a complicated expression on his face, said to Shu Qin, ’There are plenty of usable vehicles here, including heavy trucks. It’s still early, and we should be able to reach Hengshan Pass before dark. I welcome anyone who wants to join us, but they must do so with a willingness to face death, because the monsters we encounter will definitely be more terrifying than before. If you have any doubts or thoughts, you can choose your own vehicle and leave.’" "As soon as he said this, Zhou Yixuan suddenly felt somewhat sober, but at the same time hesitated." "In front of him were the Fireline Fleet’s fully equipped heavy trucks, and according to his firm belief, this was indeed a good opportunity." "Zhou Yixuan’s gaze then turned towards Shu Qin, who merely looked back at him with a calm expression, ’I respect your choice.’" "Thank you, Sister Qin." "Zhou Yixuan’s expression was tense, and he felt somewhat oppressed. He then didn’t say much more, and went back to the vehicle to pack his bags. At the same time, three other people followed suit, and the four of them took a heavy truck and an SUV. After bidding farewell to everyone, they drove off into the distance." "The atmosphere in Shu Qin’s fleet was bleak; Lin Xian watched the scene, feeling somewhat emotional." "He had actually prepared for the possibility that people would leave the team at any time due to issues of life or benefit, including Chen Sixuan, KIKI, and Building." "No matter how foolish the reasons of others might sound, they were still personal choices." "In this ruined apocalypse, to talk about naivety in human heart is too simple; whether ordinary people or not, all that matters is one’s own life." "Shu Qin."

"I will always follow you." "Shu Qin spoke earnestly, ’If you don’t welcome me, I’ll take them and leave immediately.’" "Watching this scene, Sha Sha nervously clutched Chen Sixuan’s clothes, feeling the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive in Infinity’s squad side." "As for the people who decided to stay in Shu Qin’s team, their eyes were unanimously pleading as they looked towards Lin Xian. It was evident they all harbored a desire to join Infinity." "Lin Xian glanced at Shu Qin, then at the others, his eyes fierce as he said, ’Whether it’s the group hunting effect or catching shadows, perhaps tonight we’ll end like the Fireline Fleet, completely obliterated. If you want to join my vehicle, you better be prepared for this now. The union of survivors is a major trend. If even unity can’t help us overcome, then we’d be failing the sacrifices made by the Airport Guard Corps and the Iron Guard Brigade for us.’" "So, now you all look clearly at this!" Lin Xian suddenly shouted as he pointed behind him to the black armored train: "This is not a safe journey train, this is..." "Doomsday Train!"
