Jeff doesn't have any grand aspirations now, he just doesn't want to live a miserable life like he did in his previous life.
He hopes to maintain a friendly and cooperative relationship with his teammates.
He does not want to fail in a battle and die because of his teammates' lack of cooperation.
If his teammates cannot cooperate with each other, he would rather survive alone in the doomsday world.
Seeing that Jeff didn't say anything else, Charles continued.
"Jeff knows a lot about the doomsday world, which is very important!"
"Mastering this information means that we have the initiative, especially in this chaotic doomsday world, survival is more important!"
"As a team, we need to improve our overall strength while ensuring the highest combat power to carry out special missions."
"Jeff's evolution speed is the fastest, and he is very young and open-minded. I think he can be the captain of the team and he is the most suitable one!"
"Nicole has been practicing Kung Fu since she was a child and has received military training. She has a very good physical condition."
"However, she lacks experience in killing and does not have enough knowledge and understanding of the doomsday world. She can serve as Jeff's assistant! "
"John is very strong and familiar with electronic products, but he is slow and timid, so he can only serve as the team's logistical support for the time being!"
"As for me, an old man, my body is aging and I can no longer fight zombies. I only have some war experience to help the team guys and do some logistics work."
"This is my understanding of everyone and my suggestion on the division of labor in the team. Everyone can put forward their own suggestions for this team and discuss them together."
What Charles said made everyone think about teamwork.
John was the first to express his support for Charles' proposal.
"I agree with Mr. Charles' proposal because I believe in the judgment of a general, and I also believe that Mr. Zhong can lead us to survive in this doomsday world!"
John turned around and saluted Jeff, then said.
"I am very grateful for your help and for not abandoning a useless fat man like me. From now on, my future and life are in your hands!"
For John, as long as he doesn't have to face the zombies alone and do this tiring and dangerous job, everything else is acceptable.
Everyone has his selfish side, and no one likes a selfish person.
John is a selfish person, but he hopes to survive.
Only by living can everything be possible!
He knows that it is difficult for him to survive for a long time in this doomsday world alone.
He can only continue to live with the help of others.
So John hopes to join this team, build trust with his teammates, and try his best to help other teammates within his ability.
After John finished speaking, Nicole followed up by saying, "I agree with Grandpa's proposal, but I hope we can vote on important matters in the future, so that it is fair!"
Nicole doesn't trust Jeff and John very much. John seems cunning to her, while Jeff is cruel and seems a bit dictatorial.
She didn't want to pin her hopes of surviving the apocalypse on someone like this.
Jeff didn't know how to respond to Charles's suggestion.
Initially, Jeff joined them because of accident and helplessness.
Although they later formed a team, Jeff still had a defensive mentality towards them.
In his previous life, Jeff witnessed and experienced too much of the darkness of human nature, seeing the warmth and coldness of human relationships in the face of doomsday.
For a little food, clothing, evolutionary resources, and so on, the evil side of human nature was revealed.
Now they can still get along harmoniously, but once there is a major conflict of interests, no one can guarantee what the other will do.
If Jeff wants to maintain his advantage, he must prioritize obtaining evolutionary resources and maintain his combat advantage and force deterrence to a certain extent.
Therefore, becoming the leader of the team is also what Jeff desires.
But according to his idea, he wanted to wait until the team members knew each other and built trust before he could become the captain.
Now Charles directly proposed that he should become the captain of the team, which destroyed his plan.
After John and Nicole agreed, Charles saw that Jeff was still silent but did not object to his proposal, so he continued to talk about another idea.
"Since everyone agrees, the division of labor in our team is now determined!"
John clapped happily, but when he saw that Nicole and Jeff didn't respond, he had to stop and continue listening to Charles.
"Next, let's discuss the distribution of these two energy crystals. "
"I hope that in the future, while ensuring fairness, there will be two people who must be given priority in using energy crystals. "
"One is Jeff. We must give priority to ensuring that Jeff has a strong combat power and can undertake key combat tasks. "
"The other one will give priority to supplementing the team's weakest teammate to ensure the combat effectiveness of the entire team!"
According to Charles' suggestion and through everyone's discussion, of the two energy crystals obtained this afternoon, Jeff, as the captain, has priority and can get one, and John, who is the main force in killing zombies, can also get one energy crystal.
John was very surprised about the distribution of energy crystals, but it was unfair to Charles and Nicole.
However, Charles and Nicole also knew that Jeff and John did the most tiring and dangerous work today.
This is the reward they deserve!
Jeff met Charles during the bathroom break before bed.
"Are you confused about my suggestion tonight?"
"Oh, there were doubts, but also some unexpected developments!"
Jeff could have guessed that Charles would definitely have a private talk with him.
"Tell me about it?" Charles looked at Jeff with a testing expression.
"I don't know why you proposed to let me be the captain? Wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to lead us? Can you tell me why? Mr. Charles!"
"I don't like to be as euphemism as you Orientals, I think it's a waste of time! Mr. Zhong!"
After Charles said, the serious expression on his face suddenly softened.
"We should be more decisive in difficult times. Being a captain means power and control, but also responsibility. You are more suitable than me!"
"Yes, I know, but I know better that in the end of the world, the old people, children and women are the most disadvantaged people, and unfortunately you and Nicole are in it..."
Jeff said in a heavy tone. "You think I can survive with an old man, a girl and a timid fat man?"
Charles laughed, "Yes! I believe in you, they believe in you too!"
Really? Jeff doesn't believe what Charles says, and Jeff doesn't believe them!
"You are smart, but you are young and lack experience, especially the experience of controlling others!"
Charles knew Jeff didn't believe what he said, but he still smiled and continued.
"I don't know what you've been through, but I can sense your caution and defensiveness towards others!" Hearing this, Jeff looked at Charles with bright eyes.
"But I need to tell you that you don't understand Westerners at all! This may be caused by the culture of the East and the West."
"Nicole and John are both very young. Unlike me, an old man, they don't think about whether the timing is appropriate when speaking or doing things. Moreover, they don't consider the personalities of others either."
At this time, Jeff believed what Charles said, because these words could only be told to him by his relatives or friends.
"If they don't trust you, they won't agree to let you be the team leader! This is the way Westerners express themselves. Unlike Easterners, what they say is not what they really mean at all!"
"I joined the military at the age of 18 and rose from being a soldier to a general. I experienced the terrifying moments between life and death, enjoyed the glory and convenience brought by power, and also understood the complexity of human nature!"
"I am old now. I am not afraid of death. Even if I die in a doomsday disaster, I have no regrets! I just worry about Nicole. She is still young. In this doomsday world, she cannot enjoy life, but is facing life-and-death tests and the even more terrifying horror of test at the human nature!"
Charles stopped to speak, looked at Jeff, and after a while continued.
"She is a girl. I know what women will encounter in this chaotic world, and you should know that too!"
Jeff could sense sincerity and candor in Charles' words. This was a conversation between one man and another.
"Yes,I know!"
"OK. Since you know all this, I hope you can take care of Nicole. I'm worried about her!"
"You can think of what I'm telling you as a deal. I hope you can understand my true thoughts! If I have any selfish motives, it's that I hope you can fully play your role as a prophet and lead us to survive and live a better life!"
If Charles's suggestions about the team at night had surprised Jeff, then now Charles's honesty has deeply touched Jeff.
Although he doesn't know what the future holds, at least for now, Jeff is willing to trust Charles!
"OK! I promise you that as long as you and Nicole can support and help me, I will do my best to keep you all alive!"
Jeff extended his hands and clasped them with Charles' hands.
He made a solemn promise.
Charles felt much more relaxed.
He wiped the already moist eyes, a manly smile appeared on his face.
"The world has always been led by makeshift teams because it is difficult to build mutual trust between people, but it is too easy to destroy that trust."
"I hope we can maintain a long-term mutual trust!"
