Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Lu Dahai's words reminded everyone.

At first, Zhang Yi provided them with enough food.

It was because Zhu Yunque secretly smuggled in more than twenty stowaways that everyone couldn't get enough to eat.

It was also Zagu's group who first used violence to occupy a large portion of the food.

Although Lu Dahai was hated by many, he was not the main culprit.

"You mean those people? But they're so fierce, we... don't dare provoke them!"

A bald man sighed helplessly.

Lu Dahai sneered, "If you can't mess with them, then just wait to starve to death."

"If they hadn't taken our food, we all could have lived fine."

Some spoke timidly, "But if things get out of hand, people will die. Plus, there are people in charge above. I'm afraid something bad will happen."

"Better to be cautious. Less trouble is better."

Someone else cursed, "How can we keep enduring? If we keep enduring, we won't have lives left!"

Lu Dahai said nothing and just watched them talk among themselves.

Finally, someone thought of Lu Dahai.

"Brother Lu, can you help us decide?"

"You're the most capable. As long as it lets us survive, we'll follow whatever you say."

"Yeah, yeah, we'll listen to Brother Lu!"

…

This was exactly what Lu Dahai had been waiting to hear.

He glanced at the crowd and slowly said, "This can't be solved peacefully. Everyone knows in their heart, when there's more people than porridge, someone will starve."

"If you want to live, you have to make sure they can't survive."

He leaned forward slightly to better see the expressions on everyone's faces.

"At least we're compatriots, bound by brotherly feelings. But those people won't show you any mercy."

"Just like now, I can still negotiate with you. Do you dare to go find Zagu?"

They exchanged uneasy glances. None had that courage.

A bold man said darkly, "You mean, deal with them all…"

He made a slicing motion across his neck.

Everyone's hearts raced faster.

Killing!

They were no strangers to this. Many had blood on their hands; on Rockflow Island, this was a daily occurrence.

But now they were on the Golden Edge, and many hesitated.

"If things escalate, the people above won't let us live."

Lu Dahai raised the corners of his mouth, "There's a saying: the law does not punish the many. If it's one or two people, they'll throw us into the sea. But if we unite and act together?"

"Even if the higher-ups want to intervene, they'll hesitate."

Lu Dahai said this only to reassure them and drag them into action.

He was brave; he had to avenge the grudge Zagu had against him!

So even if it meant risking Zhang Yi killing him, he was determined to do this!

"Decide, are we doing this or not!"

Lu Dahai crossed his arms and waited for their replies.

He acted calm, as if he didn't care.

Even if they chickened out, he still controlled the food supplies and the power that came with it.

The people in other cabins were already starving; they couldn't wait.

They looked at each other until someone finally spoke up first.

"Damn it!"

A man slapped his thigh and said fiercely, "I don't want to live like this scared every single day!"

"The way back is still long. We can't keep being scared turtles."

"The more we endure, the hungrier we get. They have food and drink every day; the longer this drags on, the more we lose out."

"Are we really going to let them control our lives?"

His words awakened many.

Right now, Zagu and the others still feared some consequences, so they only took two barrels of food.

But if this continued, they would take more and more.

They all understood human greed better than anyone; they were smart people here.

Of course, when considering this, everyone instinctively looked at Lu Dahai.

Zagu was that kind of person, and Lu Dahai was no different.

But so far, Zagu was the one they had the best chance to fight.

Because they could recruit Lu Dahai to oppose Zagu.

But due to their positions, they couldn't recruit Zagu to oppose Lu Dahai.

"Then let's do it! Dragging this on is just death anyway!"

The group found their courage and decided to fight desperately against the stowaway gang!

"Brother Lu, when do we strike?"

The main force was naturally the fishermen's alliance led by Lu Dahai.

Lu Dahai raised his eyelids, "Tomorrow is Sunday, the day for meat. Zagu will definitely bring people to protect the food."

"You go back and prepare whatever weapons you have."

"When I give the signal, everyone attack together!"

At this, Lu Dahai's gaze suddenly turned fierce and cruel.

"If anyone dares to leak information and become a traitor, or plays tricks and doesn't fight properly, hehe! I, Lu Dahai, will stab him to death before I die!"

Lu Dahai raised the toothbrush he had been sharpening daily. It still had black blood stains, making it terrifying.

"No way, we're not that kind of people!"

"If you don't fight, you're the grandson!"

"Right, if anyone dares to be a traitor or hides to pick fruit, I'll be the first to go after him!"

The meeting ended quietly; everyone sneaked back to their cabins.

In the darkness of night, they woke people in their cabins one by one and informed them of tomorrow's plan.

"Quietly, don't make a sound."

"Fighting? But how? There isn't even a stick here."

"Wrap your hands with clothes, twist socks into ropes. When the time comes, hit hard. Use any means that can kill!"

…

That night, inside each cabin, in the thick darkness, they began using their imagination to make whatever weapons they could for killing.

Lu Dahai leaned against the wall, gripping his toothbrush, eyes wide open, completely sleepless.

He curled up in the corner, a very safe spot; even if a fight broke out suddenly, he could avoid being ambushed from behind.

He had fought many times and killed for food on Rockflow Island.

But fundamentally, he didn't think of himself as a bad person.

He just wanted to survive, and that wasn't wrong.

In his heart, if life were peaceful, he'd be willing to help others stand up for themselves. This was the innate chivalry of people from the east of Lu.

Hating evil and delighting in justice, he even felt the passion and emotions of his predecessors.

The night was as deep and black as ink. He was like a quiet bat, silently waiting in the darkness.
