After the commander finished speaking, another commander added: "Yes, since the mutants suffered a big loss last time, they seem to have learned better and actually changed their tactics.
They keep a distance from us and don't actively attack us, and there is nothing we can do against them. They swim fast, we can't catch them, and we can't hit them with long-range attack abilities.
If we can't think of a way to deal with it, we will be in big trouble.
Miss Lily, you have to think of a way. "
Seeing this group of grown men looking at her expectantly, Lily frowned in disgust.
She felt that these men were really useless and that she had to figure everything out. Don't they have any brains themselves?
The more Lily looked at them, the more bored she became. However, the most important thing now was to find a solution to the predicament, so she could only hold back.
After thinking about it, Lily looked at the people opposite and said with a half-smile: "I have a way to make you last a little longer, but I don't know if you are willing?"
Hearing that she had a solution, several commanders said excitedly: "What solution?
Miss Lily just said, as long as we can get through the difficulties, we are willing to do anything you ask us to do. "
Seeing them all nodding, Lily smiled softly and said, "Well, my way is to shrink you all.
As your body size decreases, your appetite will naturally decrease.
A piece of mutant meat is probably enough for all of you to eat.
In this way, the food you store should be enough for you to eat for a long time.
What do you think of my approach? "
After hearing Lily's words, the five commanders, who were still looking forward to it, suddenly became stiff.
Soon, a commander reacted and waved his hands: "Miss Lily, this method is not good.
Everyone has become smaller. If the mutants come over and kill us, wouldn't we just let everyone take the blame?
No, no, this method is very dangerous, so be cautious. "
After he finished speaking, another commander followed closely and said: "I also think this method is not feasible. It is more suitable to use your superpower on the enemy. It always feels weird when used on our own people.
It's a bit ridiculous that we've all become just a little bit like a bug. "
After the commander finished speaking, another commander said: "I don't agree with this method either. How can we, the noble men, become villains? That really loses our grace.
Miss Lily, let’s think of another way. "
Seeing that they all agreed with this method, Lily snorted and said: "Humph, people are starving to death, and they still need to be graceful?
My team has encountered difficulties before and sometimes used this method to overcome them.
As for the danger you mentioned, my people are here to guard you. What are you afraid of?
Of course, if you are still not convinced, you can only reduce the number of people by half.
However, that doesn't save much food.
Think about it carefully. If you are willing, I will help you. If not, you will find a way on your own in the future. "
Hearing what Lily said, the five commanders were entangled.
They also knew in their hearts that what Lily said should be the best way.
However, Lily's shrinking ability takes 24 hours to recover after being used.
During this period, not even Lily herself could help restore her body.
Therefore, if an enemy attacks during this period, it will be extremely dangerous.
Originally, humans would not have an advantage when confronting mutants in the sea.
If the body size is further reduced, there will be even less advantage.
Even if half of the people were left behind, it would still be unsafe.
After everyone struggled for a while, a commander made a suggestion: "Besides Miss Lily's method, there is no other good way. However, in order to be more secure, I suggest reducing the number of people by one-third first.
Although the food saved is not as much as that of shrinking all the food, it’s worth it if you can save more!
Maybe, before long, this weird weather will get better. "
After hearing his suggestion, the other four commanders hesitated for a moment and then agreed: "I think it works, so let's do it!
Shrink one-third first, and the remaining people will take turns. "
Seeing that they all reached a consensus, Lily said calmly: "Okay, if I really have to shrink too many people at once, my physical strength will easily be exhausted.
By only being a third smaller, I can still have some energy left just in case.
Then you go back and prepare. I will help you shrink people this afternoon. "
After hearing this, all the commanders said their goodbyes and left.
Seeing them all leaving, Xiaoman on the side asked: "Sister Lili, should we also reduce the number of people?"
Hearing this, Lily shook her head and said: "Our team has a small number of people, and the food stored is enough to last for a while, so don't do this for the time being.
If those mutants launch a sneak attack again, we still have to count on our people to go into battle!
If we expected those trash from them, we would have been wiped out long ago. "
After hearing this, Xiaoman nodded and said: "Yes, that's right.
However, our food will be finished sooner or later, so we still have to prepare it in advance. "
Lily nodded and said, "Let's talk about it then!"
…
In the afternoon, everyone on the five ships was ready.
There were more than 9,000 people in total, and they selected the first batch of more than 3,000 people and asked Lily to shrink them.
Lily asked the more than 3,000 people to gather on a cargo ship, and then used her powers to shrink them to the size of a little finger.
In an instant, the crowded freighter deck suddenly became quite empty.
Everyone looked down and saw the more than 3,000 shrunken people scattered on the deck like a group of grasshoppers, which looked very funny.
And the more than 3,000 people who were shrunk looked like a giant when looking at normal people, and their size was at least nearly a hundred times smaller.
At this time, some normal people couldn't help but squat down curiously and carefully observed these shrunken companions.
For a time, the entire freighter was filled with laughter.
Seeing their teammates laughing at themselves, those who had shrunk suddenly cursed: "You guys are like dogs, when it's your turn to shrink, I will laugh at you just like you laughed at me."
"Yes, it's too irritating. Take your dog's nose away and don't get so close to me. Your breath feels like wind. The key is it's so smelly."
"Hey, who the hell spit on me and splashed all over me. It really blinded you."
"Ah! Can you be careful when you walk? You almost trampled me to death, damn!"
"Hahaha……"
Seeing that the scene had become chaotic, Lily was afraid that an accidental injury had occurred, so she quickly ordered: "Get your team members away quickly and don't stay here anymore.
If there were casualties, it would be too late to regret. "
After hearing Lily's words, the five commanders quickly ordered people to pick out their team members.
Then, for the sake of convenience, they grabbed them and put them into bags, regardless of the strong objections of the shrunken team members, and carried them back to their respective ships.
