Chapter 25 - The Power of the Pillar

Everyone vented their frustrations on Abraham.

However, the problem was still not solved.

Leng Hanyan was the first to say, “Alright, there’s no need for us to waste any more time on Abraham.”

“The problem now is that we haven’t obtained any resources.”

“We can’t just return to the base like that. After all, the people in the base are waiting for us to bring back the resources.”

“But now that our team has suffered serious damage, whether we should continue to go deeper into the forest is a question that needs to be deliberated carefully.”

“Hanyan is right. The most important thing for us now is to gather resources.”

Feng Buhuo continued, “So, let’s hear your opinions.”

Unknowingly, Feng Buhuo had already become the leader of this team.

If Feng Buhuo asked them to do something, they would do it subconsciously.

Now that Feng Buhuo asked them to share their opinions, they began to think seriously.

Everyone was silent for a moment.

They were faced with a dilemma.

Logically speaking, they should leave and go back to reorganize.

This was a safer and more secure choice for them.

But if they went back like this, the base would soon fall into a resource crisis.

If there were insufficient resources, the base would be in turmoil.

Supposing that they were attacked by foreign enemies, then the base would be in danger.

Therefore, their decision now would not only influence their safety, but it would also affect the survival of the base!

“I think we should continue moving forward,” Little Fatty suddenly said.

Everyone’s eyes fell on him.

Everyone knew that it took a lot of courage to say such words at this time.

“Little Fatty, continue.” Feng Buhuo gestured with his chin.

Little Fatty nodded. “Yes, everyone is aware that we are in a tight spot now.”

“We definitely can’t return empty-handed!”

“However, if we continue to go deeper, we might encounter dangers that might be difficult to handle.” Someone questioned.

“There will be dangers, but this is also an opportunity.”

Little Fatty saw that everyone was looking at each other, so he no longer kept them in suspense.

“We have Buhuo, so we don’t need to worry about the dangers.”

“The most important thing is, if Buhuo leads us to obtain sufficient resources, then the people at the base will have no reason to object Buhuo.”

“After all, everyone understands the importance of the resources.”

“I see!”

Everyone had a look of sudden realization.

Little Fatty’s reasoning was convincing.

If they obtained sufficient resources under Buhuo’s lead, not only would they save the base, this would also make Buhuo’s position incomparably stable.

After all, in this apocalyptic world, the most important thing would always be the resources!

Leng Hanyan was an ardent supporter of Feng Buhuo, so she was the first to agree.

“Little Fatty is right. We should continue moving forward!”

“I agree as well.”

“I agree.”

The vast majority of people agreed with Little Fatty’s opinion.

Only a few people were still conflicted.

One of them was a transformation-type psychic by the name of Wolf. His superpower allowed him to transform into a magic wolf.

Therefore, everyone was used to calling him Magic Wolf.

He and Little Fatty were also very good friends.

Moreover, he had a good relationship with Feng Buhuo.

In the battle last night, he was one of the courageous people who fought with the enemies.

Although he was only a C-class psychic, no fewer than three C-class Marauders had died at his hands!

However, because of this, he was severely injured.

Therefore, he didn’t want to go any deeper, because no one knew what kind of danger there was.

However, he couldn’t say out loud that he wanted to quit.

Therefore, he subconsciously turned his eyes to Feng Buhuo.

Since he couldn’t make the decision himself, he looked at Feng Buhuo.

Whatever Feng Buhuo said, he would follow.

Therefore, everyone’s expectant eyes fell on Feng Buhuo again.

Everyone was waiting for him to make his final decision.

Feng Buhuo smiled helplessly.

Of course, he planned to continue exploring further into the forest.

However, it wasn’t to consolidate his position.

He had said many times that he wasn’t interested in the position of leader.

Instead, it was because he needed a lot of resources to nurture Little Fiery.

Right now, he had to feed Little Fiery so that he could quickly raise its submission rate.

This was because he didn’t want Little Fiery to slowly appear at the critical moment of life and death again.

Furthermore, the supplies this time were extremely important to Joyce and the others.

No matter what, the Motie Survivor Base had taken him in for more than a month during his most difficult time.

Otherwise, he would have died long ago.

Thus, he didn’t want to see the fall of the Motie Survivor Base.

Of course, he wouldn’t force anyone.

He cleared his throat.

“I intend to continue going deeper. Of course, it’s entirely voluntary. I won’t force anyone.”

“After all, we don’t know what dangers lie in the depths of the forest.”

“So now, let’s make the final decision.”

Feng Buhuo’s reply was the final decision.

Leng Hanyan, Little Fatty and the others naturally agreed with him.

Wolf and the others who were originally hesitating also made the final decision.

For some reason, when Feng Buhuo said that he wanted to continue moving forward, they didn’t have any objections from the bottom of their hearts.

It was as if this man could give them firm confidence.

They gritted their teeth and made up their minds.

“If you want to go, then let’s go together. We are not cowards!”

“Good, as expected of the people of our Motie Base!” Little Fatty laughed loudly.

Feng Buhuo was also rather emotional.

After experiencing the tragedy last night, everyone was still able to make such a decision.

They were indeed warriors!

Leng Hanyan secretly looked at the smiling Feng Buhuo.

She knew that everyone was able to make this decision unanimously because of him.

He had already become the pillar for everyone!

…

Everyone discussed for a while and without further ado, set on their way.

They continued walking towards the depths of the forest.

They were only in the middle region of the forest.

After walking for another half a day, they finally reached the core area of the forest.

Along the way, there was still no sign of any animals.

Even the legendary overlord of the forest, the orcs, did not appear.

“What is going on? Why is it so quiet?”

Little Fatty could not stand it any longer.

“Maybe…”

Just as Leng Hanyan was about to speak, Feng Buhuo interrupted her.

“Shh! Listen carefully, there are sounds of fighting!”

Everyone’s bodies trembled, not daring to make the slightest movement.

The next moment, as expected, they heard the sounds caught in the breeze.

The sounds were coming from afar.

Shouts of killing!
