Anyone Who Doesn't Want to Stay Can Get Lost

Chapter 19

The three men discussing how to divide the supplies were completely baffled by the woman.

Never mind anything else.

From the very beginning, the Survival Rules Convoy had made it clear that everyone had to fend for themselves. That was the convoy's first rule.

If you chose to travel with the convoy, you had to obey that rule.

She hadn't managed to get any supplies herself. Being jealous of everyone else's was one thing, but now she had come up to demand supplies from the three of them-and even wanted everything distributed fairly?

The woman's twisted logic left even Lin Yi at a loss.

Even Ji Qingcang, who had only just joined, wouldn't choose to hand out supplies to everyone else at a time like this.

Sharing everything equally was an agreement between them as Sequence Transcendents.

They all pulled their weight through their own strength, so there was nothing wrong with splitting the haul equally.

But these women weren't Sequence Transcendents, nor had they contributed anything to the convoy.

How did they have the nerve to make demands under those circumstances?

And now she was talking about protecting vulnerable women.

Liu Chuan was about to get up when Lin Yi pressed him back down and asked with a smile, "I think you have a point. Anything else you'd like to say?"

Hearing that, the woman's eyes lit up. She felt that stepping forward this time might actually get her somewhere.

She immediately turned to look in the direction she'd come from.

Several other women were gathered over there. They had clearly formed a clique.

Cliques were normal within the convoy. Banding together to help one another was fine, but banding together to undermine the convoy was a problem.

Noticing the woman's reaction, the women over there also broke into delighted smiles.

Clearly, they had planned this together and had been waiting for this moment.

The commotion drew the interest of the people outside. Even some who had been staying in their vehicles came running out to watch.

With a thousand people in the convoy, the service area couldn't accommodate everyone. Some naturally had to stay outside or in their vehicles.

Lin Yi paused when he saw more than a dozen women step forward.

He hadn't expected so many people in the convoy to be this brainless.

"Looks like you're not as unreasonable as they said. Since you've said that, I'll spell things out for you."

The woman cleared her throat, raised her voice, and lifted her chin with a smug look.

"First, I believe women need to be represented in the convoy's leadership. That woman from before died, but you can't ignore her contributions to the convoy."

"So the Women's Mutual Aid Association has a very simple demand: make me one of the convoy's leaders, and give me a real say in things!"

"As for supplies, you need to give more consideration to vulnerable people like us. After all, we're at a disadvantage compared to you men. This is the bare minimum. You need to find more supplies for us."

"Second, whenever you go exploring from now on, the Women's Mutual Aid Association must inspect the supplies you bring back, and we get first pick."

"Finally, you need to keep the other men under control so they can't lust after us. Someone already asked us to sell our bodies in exchange for supplies. I think that's disrespectful to women!"

After finishing, the woman put on an expression that said she was doing all this for the convoy's women. Clearly, she intended to become their leader.

The other women who had approached all looked approving.

It seemed they had discussed all of this in private long ago.

But there were plenty of sensible women in the convoy. Seeing this group trying to play the feminist card, they all cast contemptuous looks their way.

"Idiots. Where did they get the nerve to negotiate with Sequence Transcendents?"

"I thought one of them had become a Sequence Transcendent. Turns out they just want to play the feminist card. Do they have any idea what situation we're in?"

"I know that woman. She's an influencer who conned women into giving her over a hundred thousand followers. She's a fraud."

"It's the apocalypse. Do they still think we're living in peacetime, pulling this kind of stunt?"

"..."

Lin Yi smiled at the dozen or so women. "Finished? Any other demands?"

Seeing that Lin Yi still wore a friendly smile, the woman assumed he supported her. Her eyes filled with smug satisfaction.

She even nodded of her own accord. "Of course there are, but that's all for now. I'll tell you the rest when I think of them."

"Good. As long as you're finished."

Lin Yi smiled at the utterly unremarkable yet absurdly confident woman before him.

Then, under everyone's gaze, he lifted his leg.

He lashed out with a vicious kick.

Without the slightest warning.

Thud!

The kick sent the woman leading the group flying.

Yes, flying.

She crashed into the dozen or so women behind her, knocking the whole group to the ground.

"Seriously, where the fuck did you get the nerve to make demands of us? Without us leading the way, you'd already be dead out there!"

A hint of mockery curled Lin Yi's lips. He swept his gaze over the people around him and snorted. "You can be stupid, but don't put your stupidity on display. The convoy's first rule is mandatory!"

"Anyone who doesn't want to follow it can step forward. I still have a little conscience, so I'll let you leave the convoy."

"If you don't leave, I'll take that as your agreement to follow the first rule."

"I hope this is the last time something like this happens. If anyone dares stir up trouble again, don't blame me when you end up dead!"

After that threat, no one dared say another word.

Even the members of that so-called Women's Mutual Aid Association didn't dare cause any more trouble.

Only now did they realize that the man before them really would kill people-and that he already had blood on his hands.

If they kept making trouble, they would be the ones to die.

Lin Yi glanced at the woman on the ground, snorted, and returned to Liu Chuan and Ji Qingcang.

"Come on. Let's divide the supplies."

Lin Yi curled his lip. "They couldn't even pick the right time to play the feminist card. Pulling that crap during the apocalypse? They must have holes in their heads."

Ji Qingcang and Liu Chuan both glanced at Lin Yi, but neither objected to what he had done.

Both knew perfectly well that with so many people in the convoy, there were bound to be plenty of troublemakers.

Now that someone had stepped forward, they had an opportunity to make an example of her. Lin Yi's approach was the right one.

Besides, Lin Yi had killed before. The convoy needed someone like him to play the villain.

"I'll take the lollipops first. Lin, what do you want?"

Ji Qingcang ignored the women and started picking out the supplies he needed instead.

Lin Yi glanced at the contents of Ji Qingcang's backpack, then pointed at the scattered cans of Red Bull. "Give me a few cans of those. What about you, Captain Liu?"

"Then I'll take the ready-to-eat food and bottled water."

Liu Chuan chuckled. "I'll hold on to the medicine for now. Come straight to me if you need any. In a bit, I'll find someone to drive for me. I'll be counting on you two for the road ahead..."
