Distribution

After explaining the rules, Shen Sui began dividing up the loot.

"The spoils from the front battlefield are mine. The five of you will split the spoils from the rear battlefield equally. That's how we'll divide things this time. Any objections?"

Everyone nodded. No one objected.

There was nothing to discuss about the front battlefield. That had been Shen Sui's one-man show.

As for the rear battlefield, on the surface, Lin Yu had contributed the most.

There had only been three Transcendents among the outlaws in the rear, and Lin Yu had been directly involved in the deaths of two of them.

The remaining twenty-odd outlaws had all died at Lin Yu's hands.

But.

That brought them back to the issue of absolute fairness.

From a fairness standpoint, Lin Yu was even entitled to half the spoils.

But.

What if their positions had been reversed?

If Zhai Guang or Yellow Hair had stood in Lin Yu's place, they could have done everything he had done.

Yet if Lin Yu had been left to face Tie Qiu or Zhao Yang alone...

He would never have held out.

So.

An equal split was perfectly reasonable.

With the standard for contributions settled, the rest became much simpler.

Food, consumables, clothes, and the like were divided equally.

Five people, twenty percent each.

They could also trade among themselves along the way.

For example, Cheng Yuening wanted more food, while Ye Qing preferred a couple of extra pieces of clothing. They could exchange items themselves to ensure everyone got the supplies they wanted.

Before long.

The basic supplies had all been distributed.

Lin Yu received three pieces of bread, two apples, a shirt, a pair of pants, and a roll of bandages.

It really wasn't much, but there was no helping it. The three jeeps hadn't contained many normal supplies to begin with.

As for the abnormal supplies, there were rather more of those.

For example, plenty of dried meat and large chunks of cooked meat.

There were even lots of exceptionally fresh, scarlet chunks of meat, as though they had only just been cut.

But what kind of meat was it...

No one wanted to know...

And no one wanted to eat it.

Even Zhai Guang, who wasn't exactly right in the head, had no desire to eat that meat.

Once the basic supplies were distributed, they moved on to the weapons.

Every one of those outlaws had carried a weapon, and now those weapons had naturally become valuable supplies as well.

Shen Sui glanced at the survivors behind him and said:

"I plan to give these weapons to the ordinary survivors. If we run into danger later, they'll have something to defend themselves with. It'll also give them a little more room for error when they enter a [Choice]."

"If any of you see a weapon you want, go pick it out first."

Naturally, no one objected.

As far as they were concerned, the stronger the survivors were, the better.

The stronger they became, the more difficult the [Choices] they could clear, which benefited the team as a whole.

Yellow Hair grinned:

"Those assholes are finally getting a proper upgrade. Tsk, the Road Bandits really were good guys. They knew we were short on weapons."

Zhai Guang gave a cold snort:

"Trash with weapons is still trash."

Zhai Guang looked down on everyone equally, Transcendents included.

Finally...

It was time for the main event.

Three heavy-duty pickups and three jeeps!

All six vehicles had undergone special modifications!

They were incredibly sturdy and fast, too!

Shen Sui gazed at a black armored pickup, a smile in his eyes, and said, "The biggest armored pickup is mine. Divide the rest among yourselves. I won't ask you for any compensation."

The armored pickup Shen Sui had chosen was the best of the three!

Its thickened, blowout-resistant off-road tires could handle hills as easily as level ground, and its modified high-powered engine delivered a full six hundred horsepower.

With reinforced glass and iron plates welded onto its body, it was practically a beast of steel!

Shen Sui had wanted to change vehicles for a while. His current jeep looked decent enough.

In reality, it was nothing special.

Now that he had seen this imposing armored pickup, it had naturally caught his eye at once.

Zhai Guang looked at another armored pickup in slightly worse condition. Excitement lit his eyes, and he licked his lips, a trace of cruelty in his voice:

"Then the one on the left is mine!"

Shen Sui reminded him:

"Anyone who picks an armored pickup will have to take on some responsibility. If the team ever runs short of vehicles, those driving armored pickups will be obliged to carry some ordinary people in the back."

Zhai Guang frowned.

He had to haul that bunch of trash around?

But after another look at the armored pickup, Zhai Guang gritted his teeth and said:

"Fine!"

Cheng Yuening had wanted an armored pickup too, but the moment she heard it came with responsibilities, she backed off. Several seconds later, she raised her hand and asked:

"Do jeeps have to carry people?"

Shen Sui shook his head:

"No."

Cheng Yuening nodded and said quietly:

"Then I'll take a jeep..."

Making someone as socially anxious as her carry passengers was no different from dragging her out into the street to be executed.

Shen Sui nodded:

"All right."

Yellow Hair looked at the armored pickups, then at the jeeps, and said smugly, "Ah, what a shame. I already have a Transcendent Transport, so I don't need to pick a vehicle. Tsk... having a Transcendent Transport sure is nice!"

His smug expression infuriated Zhai Guang, who wanted nothing more than to punch him.

"Fuck!"

After swearing, Zhai Guang headed straight toward his armored pickup!

They were almost done dividing things up anyway.

He chose to leave early.

Yellow Hair raised an eyebrow:

"Holy shit, you're leaving early too?!"

Just then.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yu said, "I'll take an armored pickup too."

Yellow Hair froze:

"You already have a Transcendent Transport. What do you need a pickup for?"

Lin Yu shrugged:

"My skateboard's small enough to fit in the passenger seat anyway, and I can load supplies into the back of the pickup. Why not?"

There was one more thing Lin Yu didn't say.

If things went south and an Anomaly came after him, he could abandon the pickup and escape on the Demon Spirit Rabbit Skateboard instead.

As for the ordinary people in the back of the pickup, he could only wish them luck...

At the very least, they could hold it up for a while and buy him time to escape.

Perfect!

Ye Qing sighed softly, her eyes full of hurt as she lowered her head slightly. "I know. You don't trust me to keep your supplies. So I'm really that unworthy of your trust... I understand everything..."

Lin Yu's expression darkened.

Where did this manipulative act come from?

Shen Sui cleared his throat twice and said:

"Ye Qing, Yellow Hair, if neither of you wants a vehicle, we'll settle the distribution like this."

Both nodded.

Yellow Hair couldn't be bothered to drive. He thought his bicycle was the coolest!

Looking cool trumped everything.

Ye Qing likewise thought her supercar was the best.

Shen Sui glanced toward the survivors again and said:

"One more thing. I plan to promote a few capable survivors to group leaders and give them vehicles, along with a little authority, so we can manage the group better. Do you have anyone to recommend?"

Shen Sui's gaze was deep.

He had already been thinking about this back in the instance.

Only this way could they manage the group better and immediately learn of anything happening within it.

That was important.

That madman in the last instance had nearly gotten them all killed!

If someone had been managing the survivors as well, something like that wouldn't have happened.

Shen Sui was always the best at correcting problems.

Yellow Hair chuckled:

"I get it. Isn't this just like choosing a class monitor back in school?"

Ye Qing idly fiddled with her manicured nails, too bored to participate.

Cheng Yuening remained hidden in the corner without a word. Getting her to offer an opinion was clearly impossible.

Shen Sui turned his gaze to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu considered it briefly, then offered his thoughts without holding back:

"I have two candidates: Su Man and Scarface. The former injected the Gene Enhancement Fluid and now commands a lot of respect among the survivors. The latter is ruthless and has a few followers among them. He could be useful too."

Shen Sui adjusted his glasses and said calmly:

"Pretty much what I was thinking. Those two seem to be on good terms with you. Go tell them about this."

"Also... give them the remaining two jeeps."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, then nodded:

"Understood."

Tsk...

Without even noticing.

He had been given a little warning...
