As the saying goes, one word can awaken the dreamer! The questions raised by Tang Xiaoquan made all the survivors remain silent.
Indeed, the man opposite had many doubts about the timing of establishing contact and the purpose of making the request.
But if we talk about whether he is good or bad, whether he joins intentionally or has evil intentions, frankly speaking, Tang Xiaoquan has no way of knowing.
After all, he is not a god and cannot guess other people's thoughts.
However, these are not important to Tang Xiaoquan at the moment, because Article 24 of the Survival Rules has clearly pointed out to him how to deal with this situation, and this treatment method is:
In a doomsday crisis, when you encounter something ambiguous and difficult to decide, you might as well assume it is false first, and then try to prove it.
The biggest advantage of this approach is that it allows you to calm down and peel off the cocoons during the entire argumentation process, thereby gradually seeing through the essence of the incident and reducing the risk of falling into danger.
Tapping his fingers lightly on the table, Hu Xiaodong sat indifferently, a deep crease clearly visible on his solemn face.
As the only person in the team who has passed his thirties, one can imagine the pressure he is under at this moment.
The tapping sound came one after another, playing in the sky above the living room. Suddenly, Hu Xiaodong's fingertips stopped suddenly, and he said in a low voice: "For safety reasons, I think we should reject the other party's request!"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Yang's eyebrows couldn't help but tighten. The woman's sensitivity made her immediately retort: "Wouldn't it be a little too reckless to do this? After all, all the questions so far are just our own conjectures, and if the other party He is a good person, then wouldn’t we..."
After glancing at Wei Yangyan without any trace, it was clear that the other party could make such an assumption, which meant that she had not yet truly realized the cruelty of the end of the world and the distortion of human nature.
But these things are not the focus of Tang Xiaoquan's current attention.
In fact, he was very grateful to Wei Yang for his true words, because just now, when Hu Xiaodong categorically denied it, he was really worried about how he would guide everyone's thoughts next.
After all, the problem of the man opposite cannot be solved in one size fits all, but divided and conquered.
If the other party is really capable of helping us, even if he has some problems, we can seek common ground while reserving differences for the time being. When he settles down in the future, why not worry about not having the time to drive him away?
Thinking of this, a light flashed in Tang Xiaoquan's eyes, and he immediately continued: "Miss Wei is right, it is really not appropriate for us to reject each other like this!"
NM! The corners of his lips curled up in disdain, and Wang Qiang curled his lips and said to himself: "You are really good at Y. You alone have the say whether good or bad. Just now I said accept it, but you Y said men are unreliable! Okay! Well, now that Sister Weiyang says something is wrong, you just agree with her! Damn, you really deserve to be a real "man"!"
No one knew what Wang Qiang was thinking, and everyone was pondering the opinions of both parties.
For a moment, Hu Xiaodong was the first to break the silence: "Xiao Tang, since you and Miss Wei both intend to accept each other, before that, you must first find a way to solve the questions you raised before!"
Reasonable and well-founded, Hu Xiaodong did not feel angry because of the opposition of Tang and Wei. On the contrary, what he said at this time not only maintained the fairness of the discussion, but also served the purpose of protecting the safety of the team. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone in a second.
Tang Xiaoquan nodded appreciatively, and it was obvious that Tang Xiaoquan was also impressed by the other party's handling of the matter.
Wei Yang glanced at Tang Xiaoquan anxiously, knowing that the rebuttal she just made was entirely out of women's unique compassion.
She didn't want anyone to die, and she didn't want the man to be trapped in the quagmire because of her own inaction.
But if she wanted to answer the questions Tang Xiaoquan had raised before, she was really at a loss.
Smiling, he gave Weiyang a comforting look. It must be said that the girl possesses all the characteristics of Chinese women, such as kindness, bravery, independence, and gentleness. Although some of them are not suitable for the end of the world, it is nice to have such a woman in the team. , is actually an extremely happy thing.
Slowly putting away his smile, Tang Xiaoquan turned his attention to Hu Xiaodong again: "Brother Hu, regarding the questions I raised, the best way is to ask the parties involved, so..."
As he spoke, Tang Xiaoquan raised his hand, picked up his pen and wrote down a line of words on the cardboard: "How many people are there with you?"
Naturally, he turned his attention to his brother. Wang Qiang immediately stood up, pointed at his nose and shouted: "No, it's me again?"
It was okay if he didn't scream at first, but this scream directly attracted the attention of everyone present.
In desperation, Wang Qiang could only secretly say that he was unlucky, and then walked out of the balcony with his head hanging down in frustration.
Hu Xiaodong was responsible for watching the man's movements as usual, and soon he got a reply from the other side: "I...here...I am...the only one."
"He said he was the only one there!"
He recited it smoothly again, and after listening to Hu Xiaodong's narration, Tang Xiaoquan, who was sitting at the table, immediately picked up a pen and wrote another sentence on the cardboard: "How is your food and material reserve there?"
This is undoubtedly the issue that the survivors are most concerned about right now, so after the cardboard was handed over to the "sign holder" outside the door, everyone nervously waited for the other party's answer.
Not long after, Hu Xiaodong's deep voice sounded again: "His reply was... there are only half a pack of instant noodles and a few cans of bird's nest left!"
"Damn, this guy is having a good life, and he actually has bird's nests!" Wenquan Xin was a little disappointed with the result, so he couldn't help but joke.
It seemed that the other party was at the end of his rope. Tang Xiaoquan thought thoughtfully, then took a brand new piece of cardboard and continued to write seriously: "Why did you contact us at this time? What were you doing before?"
Tang Xiaoquan obviously cared more about the other party's answer to this question than the food issue just now.
After all, the outcome of this issue will be directly related to the man's position, and the man's position is the key to Tang Xiaoquan's judgment on whether to accept him.
As usual, Acheng handed the cardboard to Wang Qiang, who raised it above his head as usual.
The next thing the survivors have to do is wait, because they all know what this result means.
Time passed slowly in this silent and dull space. Finally, after a moment of waiting, Hu Xiaodong saw the hanging curtain covered with painted words...
