Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 250 The Eve of Change
Ding Ning replied.
"Never seen him?"
Duan Lei hesitated for a moment, then said to Ding Ning:
"Then forget it, you guys come out first! We'll talk about the rest later!"
"This... alright!"
Ding Ning hesitated, but then nodded in agreement.
"Are his helpers strong?"
Seeing Ding Ning's reaction, Duan Lei asked.
"Didn't you see... we're all forced to hide by the walls? Only by relying on the walls can we ensure our own safety."
Ding Ning said with a wry smile, then pointed to the corpses on the ground behind him:
"Look, those are the ones who were careless and exposed themselves, and as a result, lost their lives!"
"It's alright! Come out!"
Duan Lei looked back at his surroundings. On the prison side, apart from the watchtowers inside the walls, there were no other high points, so Duan Lei was very confident!
He couldn't guarantee that no one would die, but he could at least guarantee that as long as that person dared to attack, he would be able to catch him!
As for what to do if someone died? Hadn't people died before? Besides, if they didn't drag him out, would everyone just keep hiding by the walls? They'd either starve to death or be suffocated to death, alright?
After getting the keys, Duan Lei easily went over and opened the main entrance of the prison's main building, and then opened the cell doors as well. Ding Ning and the others had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when they saw Duan Lei, these guys felt like they had been through a lifetime.
"Line up, don't mess around! Walk out one by one, stop at the door, don't come out yet!"
Ding Ning first nodded to Duan Lei, then turned around and said to the survivors behind him.
"Yes!"
Responding to Ding Ning was a neat and tidy answer.
Duan Lei couldn't help but glance at Ding Ning in surprise. Ding Ning was a late addition, and they had only reluctantly accepted him because of Li Chenzhou's intentions.
Although Ding Ning had later used that massacre to successfully suppress all dissenting voices, that was, after all, suppression by force!
But now, Duan Lei saw that the survivors were all actively obeying, and even looked at Ding Ning with gratitude, admiration, and other emotions.
Only two days, and Ding Ning had completely subdued these people? And it was true submission from the heart. How did he do it?
Ding Ning didn't feel anything was wrong. He directed the survivors to line up and kept them lined up all the way to the door.
Then, Ding Ning took the lead in walking out of the gate and stood at the door for a while. During this time, his eyes were fixed on the corpses and zombies hanging on the poles!
After a long while, he waved his hand, and the survivors immediately began to file out.
Duan Lei understood a little at this time. Just now, Ding Ning stood there to see if they would still be attacked. Only after confirming that it was safe did he let people out!
It seemed that Ding Ning's performance during the prison crisis must have been quite good, so he completely conquered the survivors.
During the team's advance, Ding Ning found a few people and whispered a few words to them. Those people all nodded, then turned and left.
Duan Lei heard Ding Ning tell them to take these survivors to eat, wash, and rest first, and then get up when it was dawn.
"What exactly happened here? And what about Qing Lang?"
When Ding Ning finished arranging things and took the initiative to walk to Duan Lei's side, Duan Lei took the lead in asking.
"To be honest! We... really didn't figure it out! This is all... very strange!"
Ding Ning shook his head and smiled bitterly, then pointed inside and said to Duan Lei:
"Let's go in and take a look first!"
After speaking, Ding Ning took the lead in walking inside. The survivors who came towards him didn't need to say anything. When they saw Ding Ning, they automatically made way.
Duan Lei followed Ding Ning back to the cell. At this time, the bodies of the survivors who had been shot in the cell had been moved out by others.
"How is it? Did you find anything?"
Ding Ning turned to look at Duan Lei and asked.
Duan Lei looked at the cell. The garbage and feces that the prisoners had thrown before were still there, the ground was a mess, and almost everywhere was covered in blood. The entire ground was almost stained red.
But, other than that, there didn't seem to be anything else wrong, right?
Duan Lei looked carefully. He knew that Ding Ning wouldn't ask him questions for no reason, but he really felt that he didn't seem to see anything unusual. Wasn't it still garbage everywhere?
Duan Lei subconsciously turned his head and looked at the cell door, and just happened to see a few people carrying corpses out of the cell...
That's not right! Corpses!!!
Duan Lei suddenly reacted.
The people who were carrying them away were all the corpses of their own people, so... what about the corpses in the cell before?
When he walked out of the cell before, Ding Ning had already said that the cell was closed, so it was impossible for him to let anyone go in to kill the zombies and clean up the corpses.
Moreover, if they were cleaning up the corpses, there was no reason not to clean up the garbage on the ground as well, right?
"Is it the zombies and corpses?"
Duan Lei asked.
"Yes!"
Ding Ning nodded, and then began to talk about what happened here after Duan Lei and the others left...
After Duan Lei and the others left, Ding Ning was naturally not as convincing as he was now, but fortunately, the deterrence of his previous killings was still there, so no one in the base dared to disobey his orders, which seemed relatively stable.
And Ding Ning also had some talent in this area, and actually allocated the work in an orderly manner, building extensions to the walls, digging water storage pools by the walls, registering and recording supplies, managing and distributing them, and so on. He arranged everything quite clearly!
And seeing that Ding Ning was able to deploy all the manpower, so that everyone had their own clear work, the other small leaders also began to slowly accept Ding Ning - of course, this also had something to do with Ding Ning assigning all the work to them to be responsible for!
So, on the day after Li Chenzhou and the others left, the base's operation officially got on track! And personnel registration and other matters all began!
Because Ding Ning had an unusual understanding of the prison, he personally handled the allocation of rooms. In addition to the cells, the other rooms in the main building, as well as some separate buildings in the courtyard, and even the surrounding watchtowers, Ding Ning had made all the arrangements!
Although the watchtowers were on the edge of the wall, they were actually a completely enclosed space in the middle, and it was no problem to live in them, and in fact, the conditions were not bad! So Ding Ning simply arranged for the combat team to be in those watchtowers, so that they could take shifts, so that there were even sentry posts, and the leader was Wang Li!
The smooth passage of the first day made everyone in the base feel a lot more at ease. At least, they felt that in this apocalypse, they already had a safe foothold.
No one expected that on the same night, a terrifying demon appeared, and it appeared from within...
