Chapter 443 Hesitation leads to disaster!
As dusk settled, the hustle and bustle on the island in the middle of the lake gradually sank to the bottom of the water.
Almost all the teams were making intensive preparations for the upcoming battle.
Xu Si sat cross-legged on the roof of the Nirvana vehicle. A level three strange object fell from his palm and turned into ashes. Fine gray powder fell from between his fingers and was scattered by the lake breeze in the afterglow of the crimson gold.
The sequence process stopped at 23.47%.
The effects of the low-level weird drops were indeed not very satisfactory, and he could only wear them down little by little.
Another downside is that the creep erosion level increased from 12.8% to 15.4%.
He noticed this anomaly when he used the strange drops to improve his sequence.
There are gains and losses; this is perhaps the price to pay for it.
This made him hesitant to rush things.
So far, he has not found a stable way to reduce the degree of the strange erosion.
Although the level of creeping corruption decreased significantly when advancing to Sequence 6.
However, we can't expect to reduce the creep erosion level only when we break through Sequence 7.
By then, the level of bizarre erosion might have reached an off-the-charts level.
This is one of Xu Si's current mental anxieties.
In the past few days, he has also been testing the impact of various levels of bizarre drops on the degree of bizarre erosion.
The conclusion is not optimistic. Apart from the [Meteorite Fragment] and [Stardust Core] which are relatively compatible with his sequence, the other strange drops have little or no impact on the strange corruption level.
Simply put, the higher the rank of the strange drop, the greater its impact on the strange corruption level.
So today he spent almost all his time dealing with level two weirdnesses.
This also makes his sequence advancement extremely slow.
While Xu Si was struggling with the strange degree of erosion, the scene at the Xinhuo train camp was quite different.
At this moment, Fu Xiaojian possessed nine sequence awakening potions, and naturally he needed to find owners for these potions.
There are still seventeen members of the Xinhuo team who have not yet awakened, seven of whom are women rescued from Zheng Lihu.
If we consider the order in which they joined the convoy, the next people to take the medicine should be Doubao, Xu Huiying, Qian Dafu, Fang Bo, Qi Dai, Mu Qingqing, Gu Momo, and two of the seven women who were rescued.
After all, Rui Jiaying and Liu Ruizhe hadn't awakened their powers after taking the medicine, so this opportunity should go to someone else.
However, this presents another problem: does Fu Xiaojian know that the probability of awakening the potion given by Xu Si is almost certain?
The only [Vegetative State Awakening Agent] obtained from Mei Lin has an awakening probability of at least 70%.
If this allocation method is followed, this awakening sequence will only have two adult men, which means two main combat forces.
This forced Fu Xiaojian to consider things more carefully, especially before such a major battle, when he needed to think even more about the consequences.
Whether to violate principles and give Rui Jiaying and Liu Ruizhe another chance, or to give the drug to those two women, this was a question he, as the team leader, had to consider.
From a rational perspective, it would definitely be more appropriate to add two male combatants.
However, from an emotional perspective, everyone has the equal right to live.
The night was as dark as ink, and the lights on the island in the middle of the lake went out one by one.
Only the emergency light in Fu Xiaojian's stone house on the edge of the Xinhuo train camp was still on, illuminating the nine awakening potions on the stone table in front of him.
Instead of gathering everyone, he sat alone in a folding chair, picking up the test tubes one by one and putting them down again.
Nine medicines, nine paths.
Every road leads to an extraordinary achievement, and every extraordinary achievement will influence the team's future.
"Still haven't made up your mind?" Shao Bing walked over and sat down next to him. He didn't say anything, but just quietly looked at the test tubes on the stone table.
He was initially shocked when he learned that Xu Si had taken out nine vials of medicine, but when he thought of Fu Xiaojian's predicament, he secretly slipped out.
It's better to let the team leader handle this moral and rational judgment alone.
"Do you think I'm overthinking things?" Fu Xiaojian said with a wry smile.
"As the team leader, it's only natural that you think about things more." Shao Bing paused.
"But sometimes, hesitation prevents you from making a decision."
Fu Xiaojian remained silent for a moment.
"Hesitation leads to trouble!"
In fact, these potions could be given to anyone, since even if the team gained more Sequence 1s, the improvement to the team's strength would be negligible.
"Tell Liang Hong to choose two people! As for how to choose, don't interfere; just tell me the process and the result!"
He finally spoke, his voice carrying a sense of relief and exhaustion.
After those women were rescued, Liang Hong was almost always the one protecting them. At this point, Fu Xiaojian made up his mind, and as for who to choose, it was up to them to decide among themselves.
This is also a multiple-choice question posed by Fu Xiaojian.
If any conflict arises among the women, he will not hesitate to give the remaining two doses of medicine to Rui Jiaying and Liu Ruizhe.
Then he'll be the only one left to play the villain.
Shao Bing could roughly guess the meaning behind Fu Xiaojian's words.
If the end times haven't taught these women the lessons, then it proves they are not worthy of being entrusted with the caravan, and there's no reason to talk to them about it.
"Also, have Doubao, Xu Huiying, Qian Dafu, Fang Bo, Qi Dai, Mu Qingqing, and Gu Momo come over first. They have priority. And also, have Jiang Li come over!"
It's safe to say that the bus will be quite lively.
Shao Bing left with a wry smile, unsure whether he had been given a good or bad assignment.
Doubao was the first to arrive, but she was the last to enter the room after everyone else.
Ever since the sausage awakened its sequence, he has been dreaming of this scene every moment.
And others are even more so.
Fang Bo even hesitated somewhat.
Especially when the opportunity presented itself to him a second time.
Although others had also gone through that blind selection process, his psychological burden was particularly heavy.
Looking at the somewhat reserved group and their fixed gazes on the several shimmering awakening potions, Fu Xiaojian seemed to feel less pressured.
"Doubao!" Fu Xiaojian called out Doubao's name first.
"This was reserved for you by your brother Dao!"
Fu Xiaojian shoved the [Clay Figure Sequence Awakening Potion] into Doubao's hand, who was still somewhat bewildered.
"Brother Dao?" Doubao's lips were soft, and her nose was sore, as if she was about to cry at any moment.
Fu Xiaojian gestured to Jiang Li, instructing him to watch Doubao take the medicine.
"You few, come forward. Let me introduce the remaining potions to you. Choose according to the order in which you joined the convoy!"
Fu Xiaojian had the arrogant air of a construction foreman handing out wages.
That statement makes it sound like these awakening potions are all cheap, mass-produced items.
The others seemed to understand, and yet they also seemed not to understand.
However, they dared not utter a single word of what Fu Xiaojian said next.
Their memory reached its peak at this moment.
