Lu Chen stood up and addressed everyone as this concerned the efforts and safety of everyone in the group. His voice was loud and clear and he explained the details clearly.
"There seems to be another group of survivors near us, but I am not sure if we can trust them or not. We don't know how strong they are and who they are."
"You both were walking towards the south, so they might be currently in Jixin city."
"We can avoid them and go north or we can directly go and have a face to face conversation with them. But chances are that conversation might turn ugly."
"Just this one guy has a bag full of grenades and heavy weaponry including several pistols. So maybe the rest of the group is also heavily armed. We might get outnumbered and overpowered."
"Though we have some enhanced abilities, our bodies are not yet immune to guns and grenades."
"I think we should avoid them and go north and first focus on building our own strength as a team. What do you all think?"
Lu Chen treated everybody as equal and explained the situation part by part. He knew that in the end, he was still going to do whatever he wanted, but he took the time to have this discussion nevertheless.
Not to waste anyone's time. Rather he was trying to make a point. He wanted everyone to be a functioning part of the team and feel like one.
If things didn't change, then eventually, the weaker members of the group would fall one by one until there was no one left. Everybody needed to act responsibly and do their part. Moreover, they needed to be aware of the current outside world.
Gou Sheng, the elder who had prepared the medicine was the first one to speak up and he agreed with Lu Chen. "I also think we should avoid confrontation as much as possible."
Watching the old man bravely speak up, another person also spoke up.
"Hmm. We also have a lot of women and elderly people with us. They might think we are weak and try to take advantage of us." He paused and then added with embarrassment. "Ah. Actually, we are quite weak."
Others nodded too. They had just now struggled against small insects and were completely helpless. How would they possibly fare against another enemy group if they are outnumbered?
