Chapter 253: You are the one who cuts

The subsequent progress was indeed as Lin Zaishan and Schwaronson expected. When the miners finally believed that the situation in the mine had been controlled by Lin Zaishan, most of them burst into strong wild emotions, clamoring to eliminate the guards and take revenge.

Lin Zaishan issued orders and asked the guards to fire their guns to warn, which made the angry miners quiet down.

"Everyone: I would like to emphasize again that the mine is in our hands now." Lin Zaishan pointed at himself and Schwaronson, and spread a powerful energy to everyone on the flat ground. "We have the final say in the future and destiny of the mine and you all."

Everyone suddenly became quiet.

Lin Zaishan continued: "We are all reasonable people and have decided to give everyone a chance to make free choices. There are three choices you can make: First, be enemies with us, I can warn you without hesitation that there is only one outcome." Lin Zaishan snapped his fingers at a far post tower, and he had already projected enough conscious energy on this post tower in advance.

Everyone heard a loud "boom" sound, and the whistle tower fell to the ground.

"Oh my God! Is he really the demon king of Lucifer?" The miners were shocked.

Lin Zaishan said: "Your second choice is: escape from the mine now, so that there may be less than 20% chance of surviving, of course, the premise is that you must first avoid the pursuit of Bison Bill."

"Mr. Lucifer, do you really have to let us leave freely?" asked a bold miner.

"Of course, but I want to remind you first: There will be a strong storm and rain in the next day. If you leave the mine, you will be blown by wind, rain, and lightning, and your situation will be incredible."

"We are willing to leave now freely." Many miners shouted.

"No problem, but wait for me to make it clear." Lin Zaishan continued: "Your third choice is to join the rescue team led by the Knights of the Apocalypse and Zhalin, and live a difficult but meaningful life that is constantly struggling to save many suffering people. We cannot guarantee that you will live well and live a long time, but we at least guarantee that you will give you weapons, train you, treat you as a brother, take care of your back, share joys and sorrows with you, and live for you when you are in trouble."

"Is the scum Lin you are talking about is the scum Lin who overthrew the tyrant John?" someone from the miners asked loudly.

"Yes." Lin Zaishan recognized the person who was asking was a survivor from John Castle.

"Mr. Lucifer, I would like to ask again, what is your relationship with Mr. Zarlin?" another survivor from John Castle asked with concern.

"You can regard me as an incarnation of Mr. Scrap Lin." Lin Zaishan replied with a smile, thinking to himself: "I'm not lying."

Hundreds of miners came from John Castle. The experiences in the mines made them deeply realize how rare Lin Zaishan used them in the end of the world. Most of them were involuntarily missing Lin Zaishan, hoping to return to his leadership. This mentality made them respect and fear Lucifer, who claimed to be Lin Zaishan's incarnation, and Lucifer's powerful aura in turn deified Lin Zaishan's influence.

"We are willing to choose the third option and be with Mr. Zha Lin!" Hundreds of miners shouted in unison. The emotions of these miners unknowingly infected many miners who did not know Lin Zaishan.

"Very good! No matter what choice you make, I will respect it. I promise not to force you to make choices against your will." Lin Zaishan replied loudly, "However, I will tell you the risk of every choice. The first choice is against us, not to mention that you are unarmed now, even if you are fully armed, with your current organization and training level, we are sure to subdue you within a few minutes. My friend Gabriel can handle hundreds of well-trained militants alone."

Schwaronson suddenly picked up a huge rock and threw it away, smashing a whistle tower.

Everyone exclaimed again and was amazed.

"The second option is a way to survive, but as I just reminded you, you must first avoid the upcoming day and night of storms and subsequent storms of Bison Bill. I personally judge that most of you will not have more than 20% chance of surviving."

The miners immediately talked about it, and the majority of people who wanted to make the second choice were the ones. Bill's pursuit was blocked in their expectations, but the storm was completely unexpected. You should know that in the end of the world, extreme weather such as storm and rain are not fun, and being exposed to the outdoors will kill people.

"Mr. Lucifer, how can you be sure there will be a storm later?"

"Of course, you can regard this as a kind of superpower of mine." In fact, Lin Zaishan did not directly predict the weather. He was just good at using other superpowers to obtain information related to the weather.

Lin Zaishan continued, "The third option - that is, joining us - can be said to be a life-and-death life, but at least the days of living will be fulfilling, and the surroundings are full of friendship and care."

He finally stated: "Let's give you 3 minutes to make a choice. Please give yourself the first option; please stand on the left if you choose the second option, and we will distribute the most basic weapons and equipment to everyone as much as possible; if you choose the third option, please stand on the right if you choose the third option, and receive our formation and training later."

The people on the flat ground first talked about each other, watched from side to side, and then made a choice. They were not stupid. None of them chose the first item, but there were many people who chose the second item, about seven or eight hundred people, and the rest chose the third item.

Schwaronson leaned into Lin Zaishan's ear and said, "Zhaolin, why bother to give them the opportunity to choose freely? With their virtue, they choose to escape freely. In less than 3 days, they will die of a life of misfortune."

Lin Zaishan sighed, "I have explained the matter about free will before. There is an old saying in China that it will rain and mother will get married, let it go. Gathering and separation is also a kind of fate, and it cannot be forced; excessive force will lead to various negative consequences." Seeing that Schwaronson was still not satisfied, he smiled and said, "I have a premonition that those who choose to leave freely will sooner or later join our camp."

"You have the final say in this matter." Schwaronson said: "Za Lin, I believe you are the rare one among all the people I know who can keep a clear mind. Maybe not the only one, but it is definitely a rare one."

"Thank you for your trust. I will also work hard to help you complete the personnel disposal."

"I understand. The miners are easy to say, what should these guards do?"

"After the acquired medicine is eliminated, we will use the same strategy to give them three choices."

"Do they continue to be allowed to retain weapons and equipment during this period?"

"Of course, otherwise no one of them would have seen the sun tomorrow. Many people in the miners who want to use violent means to retaliate against them are here."

"I have to say, this is a miracle." Schwaronson exclaimed: "If you weren't there, there would be a situation where there would be corpses everywhere and blood flowing into a river."

"Isn't the reason we have gone through so much trouble to reduce casualties?"

//////////////

The personnel resettlement work went smoothly, and the miners who made the second choice either scrambled to leave the mine in groups or single-handedly. At this time, the village at the foot of the mountain was still under the control of the militants of Bill Bill, and the miners had to escape from other directions for safety.

The miners who chose to join happily accepted the adaptation and training of Lin Zaishan and others. Lin Zaishan originally planned to follow the existing militarized organizational model of Bison Bill, dividing the miners into 5 companies, each company into 5 rows; but the miners have formed their own circle of acquaintances, and they freely combined to form more than 100 teams of different sizes. The teams were dissatisfied with each other and refused to accept the command and leadership of each other.

"What a mob." Schwaronson, who was dry-mouthed, complained, "No matter how hard I talk, they just don't want to accept the recommended adaptation strategy."

Lin Zaishan was very open-minded, "Maybe the current organizational method is better. You should know that it is the end of the world, and many previous experiences may not be applicable. Bison Bill followed the previous army's establishment model, but from the situation in the mine, it can be seen that this model is full of loopholes under the current situation."

"There are loopholes in any model. The question is whether we are willing to make changes to adapt to the new situation." Schwaronson said: "If we adopt the old-style army organizational model, at least we still have the opportunity to implement our will from top to bottom; but now they want to adopt the free team model, and we lack direct control over the members of each team, so it is difficult for changes to happen."

"Idol, you're very reasonable; however, I don't think we can underestimate the vitality of this spontaneously formed team model." Lin Zaishan has seen the team model in the new provincial capital, Guicheng, and Quancheng of China, and knows its advantages and disadvantages. "Besides, our focus is on saving them rather than controlling them. We should leave it to the Knights of the Apocalypse or other more interested people to worry about it."

"Ritel, the head of the Las Vegas branch of the Knights' Association, is more interested in forming a large-scale armed force and has great ideas. I will send a telegram to urge him to come together."

At noon, as Lin Zaishan expected, a big storm came. It was fine to have a strong wind, but level 7, which was still a range that humans could bear. Even a downpour was not a big deal, because you could just find a building to hide; but the lightning was really terrible. It was not only one after another, endless, but also powerful. Every time the thunder reached a high point, it seemed that the earth would explode; at the same time, lightning also seemed particularly powerful, unlike it was happening in the horizon, but it was like it was bursting on the head of a person.

"Boom", a lightning bolt scored a sentry tower, which exploded instantly. The five guards on the tower - they would rather risk the bad weather on the tower than return to the same room as the miners for safety reasons - four of them were immediately chopped to pieces.

"Fuck!" Lin Zaishan rushed out of the hut to rescue.

There was another guard surviving on the knocked stairs. Lin Zaishan picked him up for 2 seconds and returned to the wooden house without having to. He said to Suk and Pitt: "You take care of him, I'll inform the people from other stairs to retreat to the wooden house. This lightning is too dangerous!"

With Lin Zaishan's request and help, teams of guards moved to the wooden house safely.

"Have everyone in the mail tower arrived?" Lin Zaishan asked loudly.

"There are still far from Tower 13, they are too far away." A guard replied, pointing to the hills in the distance.

"Boom", another huge lightning fell, knocking down the trees on the hills.

Lin Zaishan knew that the situation was not good, so he rushed out again. He rushed to the sentry tower and shouted to the guards inside: "Get out of here quickly, it's dangerous!"

"It's too storm, we won't go anywhere!" the platoon leader in the mail tower responded.

"If you don't go, you will be dead!" The situation was critical. Lin Zaishan didn't bother with them and grabbed the platoon leader and threw the whistle. Seeing that the rest of the guards were not good, they ran out obediently. Lin Zaishan followed closely behind.

"Pu" and the guard who finally set off was tripped and fell on the tower.

At this time, another huge lightning bolt gathered at the low altitude on the top of the tower, tearing open the sky and moving quickly towards the whistle tower.

Lin Zaishan activated the strongest speed ability and picked up the guard and jumped out of the whistle.

He had tried his best; but he was still half a beat slower.

"Boom", a huge lightning hit the sentry tower and affected Lin Zaishan. A moment before this, Lin Zaishan threw the guards in his arms out.

Schwaronson and others were watching nervously in the distance screaming in unison.

Amid the debris of the explosion of the hood, Lin Zaishan's figure suddenly rushed out and continued to run with the guard. His clothes were broken, but his figure was still extremely agile.

"Come back quickly, slag Lin!" Schwaronson shouted.

"Boom boom boom", lightning burst out one after another on Lin Zaishan's head as if he had received a convening order.

Lin Zaishan, running wildly, had to change his direction of progress several times to avoid lightning.

In the gap between lightning, a miner suddenly rushed out of the wooden house in the pouring rain, stood up to the sky, raised his hands and shouted: "God, please take me away. I can't stand it anymore!"

"I'll go!" Lin Zaishan was about to enter the house, but for the sake of the crazy miner, he had to throw the guard in his arms over and turn again.

Another lightning bolt crossed the roof and descended to the miner's head. At this moment, Lin Zaishan's body flew into the air. The moment he touched the miner's body, the lightning bolt divided into two large and small strands. The small strand hit the miner, and the large strand hit Lin Zaishan hard.

The miner who was hit burst and shattered as his body, while Lin Zaishan burst out dazzling light. After the lightning subsided, his body fell to the ground with a bang.

"No!" Schwaronson roared, rushed out of the wooden house, picked up Lin Zaishan's body and returned quickly. "Come on first aid!"

The storm and lightning and thunder continued, and everyone in the crazy mountains were frightened.

Schwaronson tried his best, but Lin Zaishan's burning and hot body did not react at all. At the same time, in the clearing where Lin Zaishan was struck by lightning, a shadow with only a blurry outline stood floatingly.
