Chapter 4 Intensification of Contradictions

"The robot was found in front of the team!"

After waiting for so long, the speculation was finally confirmed, which was originally a very bad result for the village, but because the waiting time was too long, Dong Ming didn't even know whether he should be happy or shocked at the moment he got the news. After being stunned for a long time, Dong Ming remembered to continue talking.

"Can you estimate the number of robots?"

"Report to the general, it is impossible to estimate the number of robots at present, because all you can see is a scattered team of robots."

"Explore again!" Dong Ming took a breath and said.

"Yes!"

At the end of the call, everyone's eyes returned to Dong Ming. They had already seen the robot team. At this time, it was time to make a decision. At least they had to decide whether the team should continue to move forward or stop and wait for further news from the scouts.

As for what Duan Peng had just been forced to do, everyone naturally forgot it.

In fact, Duan Peng himself has also forgotten that in Duan Peng's opinion, this is just a conflict of views, but a matter of work. Duan Peng will never be stingy enough to hate someone because of the conflict of work views.

"Although we haven't seen a large number of robots appear, I think Wilton's speculation has been confirmed. I believe that the closer we are to the city, the more robots we will see. So what should we do now?" After taking a few deep breaths to calm down his mind, Dong Ming continued to say, "Is our team going to continue to move forward? Or should we stop first and wait for the scout team to send back further news?

It seems that everyone has already had an answer in their hearts. Almost as soon as Dong Ming's voice fell, a voice sounded. It was Kong Rong.

"General, I think we should stop and wait for further news from the scouts."

Kong Rong frowned slightly. After having a conflict with Duan Peng, Kong Rong rarely gave his own opinions at the first time. Generally speaking, Kong Rong chose to oppose the proposal that was unfavorable to him after everyone gave his opinions.

But this time Kong Rong finally couldn't help it. The crisis was right in front of him, and it was likely to affect everyone's life and death, so Kong Rong also temporarily let go of his grudge.

"My opinion is mainly based on the following two points. First of all, our team is too large. Since the scout team has found the existence of robots, that is to say, if we continue to move forward, there is also the possibility of being discovered by robots."

"Then there is Wilton's speculation. As the general said, now that the scout team has found the existence of robots, which means that Wilton's speculation is likely to be confirmed, and does everyone remember Wilton's inference process?"

Kong Rong paused for a moment. He glanced at everyone's faces and saw that everyone's eyes were attracted by himself. Then he continued to say, "Xiao Peng told us that Wilton once said that after entering Qiu Lin, the main reason why we would marched so smoothly was because of this hill. Lin's robots are concentrated on the edge of the city, and Wilton also said a long time ago that there are generally nearly 100,000 robots in each war zone.

"Think about it, if our team really rushes to 100,000 robots like Wilton said, how many chances can we win?"

After Kong Rong's words, everyone's faces suddenly became ugly. Several people were ready to speak, but they consciously closed their mouths at this moment.

100,000 units!

Are there 2,000 robots encountered in the plain last time?

That number has almost driven Dongjia Village crazy. If it hadn't been for these robots that kept entangling with the village guards in the defense position at that time, it would have been estimated that Dongjia Village would no longer exist, or the scale of Dongjia Village would have been reduced by at least more than half.

Dong Ming's face is also ugly, but Dong Ming is quite sober, because he still has to make a final decision based on everyone's opinions.

His eyes slowly swept through everyone's faces. After a while, Dong Ming opened his mouth when he saw that no one spoke.

"If no one objects, then we will follow Kong Rong's opinion..."

"Wait!" Seeing that Dong Ming was about to make a final decision, Duan Peng suddenly interrupted Dong Ming's words.

Duan Peng knew that Kong Rong had something to do with him, and Duan Peng also knew that the reason why Kong Rong had something to him was because he objected to Kong Rong's proposal at the last meeting, so Duan Peng planned to keep silent, but Duan Peng did not expect that no one would object to Kong Rong's proposal. Duan Peng had no choice but to stand by himself. Come out.

"Xiaopeng?"

Seeing that the person who made the sound turned out to be Duan Peng, Dong Ming couldn't help frowning, and then immediately looked at Kong Rong with the corner of his eyes. Sure enough, Kong Rong's eyebrows had frowned.

Although I don't like Kong Rong's personality and don't want the contradiction between Duan Peng and Kong Rong to deepen again, Duan Peng is also a member of the decision-making level, and Duan Peng is still Dong Ming's personal successor. Even if he doesn't want to, Dong Ming has to take care of Duan Peng's ideas.

After being stunned for a long time, Dong Ming said again, "Does Xiaopeng have any ideas about Kong Rong's proposal?"

Dong Ming said it very tactfully, and even aggravated his tone on the word idea.

Obviously, Duan Peng understood Dong Ming's meaning. He nodded gently to Dong Ming before saying, "I think Brother Kong's proposal makes sense."

Listening to Duan Peng's words, Dong Ming couldn't help nodding gently. Although it was obvious that he wanted to raise objections, at least Duan Peng's tone was much better than last time.

However, Dong Ming's nodding action was frozen only halfway through, because Dong Ming found that Kong Rong did not lead Duan Peng's feelings. After Duan Peng's approval, Kong Rong's eyebrows not only did not unfold, but even his face was much darker than before.

Duan Peng obviously found that when his eyes inadvertently swept over Kong Rong's face, Duan Peng's voice immediately stopped, but Duan Peng did not stop for too long, because Duan Peng felt that he was not selfish, and he believed that Kong Rong could finally figure it out.

"However, there are also a few points that need to be added to my opinions made by Brother Kong." After a pause and sorting out his thoughts, Duan Peng continued to say, "Brother Kong is right. There may be as many as 100,000 robots we will face, but one thing you don't forget that 100,000 robots can't all come to besiege us. They also have to face the confrontation of urban force, and we stop. What can be done here and wait for the news to be sent back? What can we do with the previous message? Run? But where can we go? Must other places be safer than here?

Several consecutive questions almost directly asked everyone's hearts. Everyone had been moved by Kong Rong's words, but as soon as Duan Peng's point of view came out, a trace of hesitation suddenly appeared on everyone's face.

Yes, the city is right in front of you. If you don't stay here, where can you go?

However, Kong Rong's face is getting darker and darker. He has long known that such a result would be. If Duan Peng really agrees with his opinion, there is no need to stand up and wait for Dong Ming to announce the result.

But Kong Rong was not the one who admitted defeat. When Kong Rong saw everyone's hesitation on their faces, Kong Rong immediately stood up.

"Who doesn't know what you said, but what's the point of saying this? We are now talking about the next action, not the future options.

A trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Duan Peng's face. After seeing Kong Rong's face, Duan Peng knew that his words would definitely cause Kong Rong's dissatisfaction, but Duan Peng did not expect Kong Rong to stand up directly to deny his opinion.

"Kong Rong!" Duan Peng is embarrassed, but it doesn't mean that others have no opinions. As soon as Kong Rong finished speaking, Dong Ming frowned, "Now Xiaopeng is talking about his own ideas. If you have any disagreement, you can oppose it after Xiaopeng finishes speaking!"

After hearing Dong Ming's words, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed on Kong Rong's face. This was the first time that Kong Rong directly showed dissatisfaction with Dong Ming, but after all, Dong Ming was Dong Ming. Even if he was dissatisfied, Kong Rong did not dare to speak directly. After a few seconds, Kong Rong was still unwilling to sit down.

"Xiaopeng, go on!" Dong Ming saw Kong Rong's dissatisfaction, but this is not a good time to solve Kong Rong's psychological disorder, because the team is still moving forward, and Dong Ming must make a decision as soon as possible.

Looking at Kong Rong's appearance, a trace of worry flashed in Duan Peng's heart, but the timing was not right. Even if Kong Rong was dissatisfied, Duan Peng could only continue to speak.

"Yes, Uncle Dong." Duan Peng took a breath, turned his head aside, stopped looking at Kong Rong's face, and continued to say, "The second and most important point is the distance of the short-frequency caller. We all know that the distance of the short-frequency caller is only ten kilometers, and now the distance of the scout has reached the limit with us."

With Duan Peng's words, everyone looked at the caller in Dong Ming's hand, and Dong Ming himself couldn't help looking at the caller.

They had been worried about the previous situation until Duan Peng's prompt that they noticed that a 9.2 number had been displayed under the caller.

Unconsciously, the distance between the scout team and the brigade has reached 9.2 kilometers, which is, as Duan Peng said, close to the distance limit of the caller.

There is no need for Duan Peng to explain. If the team stops here, even if the scout team has explored the previous situation, it will not be able to inform the brigade.

But this is not over. Seeing that everyone had seen the caller, Duan Peng opened his mouth again.

"Also, I remember I mentioned it to everyone before. Xiao Wei said that the main reason why we didn't meet too many robots on the way may be that the robots have judged our route. They are waiting for us in front of us, that is to say, robots simply know our existence, if it is true. If there are a large number of robots, what's the difference between stopping here and moving on?

No need to argue anymore, not only Dong Ming, but also the people on one side are completely convinced by Duan Peng's reasons.

However, Duan Peng's words made everyone behave differently.

Dong Ming, Huang Chi and Zhong Xi are apprave, Gao Ming is envious, Xie De is shocked, Liu Le is afraid, and Kong Rong is resentful, but Liu Le and Kong Rong are well covered up. Their expressions just flashed and soon returned to normal.
