After he finished speaking, the underground space fell silent once again.
Hesitation, doubt...
Everyone seemed to have their own concerns and did not express their support.
Han Ling watched quietly from the side, not surprised at all.
After all, compared to her proposed plan, Cao Yiyi's plan guaranteed that someone would survive; it was just a matter of whether it would be her!
However, if Cao Yiyi's plan is adopted, given the current distance between them and the Profound Crystal Griffin, the chances of survival are...
Han Ling paused slightly, her gaze sweeping over everyone.
If we were to use the first method to evacuate now, the casualties would be far too great!
Cao Yiyi stood to the side, her brows furrowed.
Instinctively, she preferred the solution proposed by Captain Han.
After all, if she proposed the plan herself, she would definitely have to sacrifice herself; if Captain Han proposed the plan, she might survive!
Do we even need to choose?
only...
Seeing that no one spoke, Cao Yiyi paused for a moment, then said:
"How about we stick to my plan? I'll try my best to delay the Profound Crystal Griffin, and then everyone can evacuate as soon as possible. This way... although we can't get everyone to evacuate, it's better than everyone sacrificing themselves!"
Cao Yiyi seemed to have mustered the courage to speak.
However, no one spoke.
The inspector, whose ability was Corrosion, opened his mouth as if to say something, but seeing that no one else spoke, he suppressed his anger and remained silent.
"Everyone... how are you all?" Cao Yiyi asked again, her voice trembling slightly.
However, still no one responded.
Seeing this, she spoke again:
"In that case, why don't we all say something..."
"Alright, I'll just ask directly!" Wang Hu suddenly interrupted Cao Yiyi.
Upon hearing this, Cao Yiyi glanced at Wang Hu, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
Wang Hu glanced at everyone, his gaze first settling on Zhou Xuan, who was still squatting on the ground, manipulating the space around them.
" Zhou Xuan, which plan do you want to follow?"
Zhou Xuan looked up, hesitated, and said, "Since Sister Han brought it up, I naturally support Sister Han plan, but..."
"But what?" Wang Hu asked in a deep voice.
The people around also looked over, after all, he was one of the main implementers of the plan that Inspector Han had just mentioned.
Zhou Xuan hesitated for a moment, then said with some worry, "I don't know if it can achieve the effect that Sister Han described!"
He had just broken through to the Fifth Tier, his abilities were new, and he had never fought Calamity Beast before, which was at the Sixth Tier... Each of them made him uneasy.
only...
"Alright, isn't your question just as pointless?" Wang Hu said irritably.
"Huh? How could that be?" Zhou Xuan looked up in surprise.
The people around him were also looking at Wang Hu.
"If you're so sure you can injure or even kill the Profound Crystal Griffin, then we don't need to discuss this here. We can just execute the plan. What's there to discuss?" Wang Hu said in a deep voice.
"Well..."
Zhou Xuan was speechless, only feeling that what the other person said seemed to make a lot of sense.
"Then I'm all set!"
Wang Hu nodded, his gaze shifting to the inspector whose ability was Corrosion.
" Yao Guanyu, what about you?"
"I..." Yao Guanyu looked at the crowd staring at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I support Inspector Cao's proposal!"
As expected... Han Ling stood silently to the side, her expression unchanged.
Wang Hu remained silent, then turned his gaze to the inspector whose ability was Wind Howl, " Jiang Yue, what about you?"
"I..." Jiang Yue began, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually, I don't think either of the two options is very feasible, but these are the only two options available now. If I have to choose one..."
Jiang Yue stopped talking.
Everyone looked at him, especially Yao Guanyu.
After all, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Han Ling, Wang Hu, and Zhou Xuan are clearly determined to carry out that plan.
Cao Yiyi didn't say it, but judging from the reasons she casually mentioned when she proposed the plan, if they support implementing that plan, then she is very likely to insist on her own plan out of guilt.
In that case, including him and Jiang Yue, the two of them choosing this option, although not a majority, still have a significant advantage.
However, under his gaze, Jiang Yue looked over, and then...
They avoided eye contact.
Yao Guanyu's heart suddenly turned cold.
really.
"I'll choose Inspector Han's option!" Jiang Yue said.
"Since that's the case, four people have already agreed to implement this plan. Does anyone else have any objections?" Wang Hu asked.
Everyone shook their heads, offering no objections.
Cao Yiyi also breathed a sigh of relief.
only...
"Oh..."
Yao Guanyu suddenly smiled.
"Can't you see? If we go up there and fail, there will be absolutely no turning back. Everyone will die!"
"But if we succeed, everyone can live, right?" Jiang Yue said.
"But we have to succeed first!" Yao Guanyu seemed to be losing control of his emotions. "Haven't you noticed that the current situation is very similar to what happened before? We're facing two choices again: one is to scatter and escape, in which case some of us will definitely survive; the other is to face the Profound Crystal Griffin together—either we live together, or we die together!"
"Last time, we chose to face the Profound Crystal Griffin together, which is why things turned out this way. Now, you're choosing the same path again!"
"Then, tell me your reason. You're also trying to save everyone, and you also feel you can deal with the Profound Crystal Griffin. If you could, we would have run away long ago!"
A slightly louder sound echoed in the underground space.
Everyone's eyes were on Yao Guanyu.
"So, you plan to make us choose the first option as you wish? Or will you run around on your own later?" Wang Hu asked in a deep voice, his gaze fixed on Yao Guanyu.
Yao Guanyu opened his mouth, then stopped.
He looked at the crowd watching him without saying a word, but it was clear that they were dissatisfied with his performance.
It's not their fault. After all, they had already agreed on something, but he still made a fuss. To put it nicely, it's called insisting on expressing his own opinion; to put it bluntly, it's called undermining morale.
After a pause, Yao Guanyu suddenly lowered his head and said:
"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I will do as we agreed!"
"That's good!" Wang Hu said, then looked away.
The people around them did the same.
Han Ling looked at Yao Guanyu.
He was looking down, appearing somewhat dejected.
If Shen Heng were here, he would probably try to talk to him and help him get back on his feet, right?
Thinking of this, a hint of worry appeared in Han Ling's eyes again.
I wonder how Shen Heng is doing...
Suddenly, Han Ling's gaze paused.
Yao Guanyu apologized again:
"I'm sorry, I acted like that just now because my wife and daughter were still outside, and I just wanted to stay alive..."
