"A speech?"

Duan Lei was a little confused when he heard Li Chenzhou's words. Wasn't the boss unwilling to establish a base and wouldn't stay here? Then was it necessary to give a speech?

However, since Li Chenzhou had spoken, Duan Lei naturally wouldn't neglect it, so he turned his head and ran over, dragging Tian Ya and rushing into the village committee.

In fact, with Duan Lei's current status, he could solve this kind of thing by finding anyone, and he could just say a word directly, without having to run over there himself.

But after all, Li Chenzhou had said that they were guests here, so Duan Lei wouldn't ask others to help with a situation like Li Chenzhou wanting to give a speech, which in his view was a private matter of their own.

Soon, whether it was the meat in the pot or the jar, as well as the crocodile meat on the grill, they were almost cooked, and boxes of drinks and alcohol were all opened, but everyone was very restrained, and no one started eating. They all turned their eyes to the platform in front of the neighborhood committee, waiting quietly.

"Boss! It's ok!"

Finally, Duan Lei and Tian Ya connected all the lines, adjusted the speakers, and tested the sound. After confirming that there were no problems, they handed the microphone to Li Chenzhou.

"Everyone! Those who can stand here should have seen me. My team and I have been killing zombies all the way, and brought you here. Although this place may not be as good as your previous homes, this is now your new home!"

Li Chenzhou took the microphone and said to the people below:

"However, there is something I need to state. My team and I are actually here to kill zombies. Rescuing people along the way is just a side effect. As for this base, although we also participated in the construction, such as using the vehicles we drove back to build the walls, my team and I will not stay here."

"Ah?"

"They won't stay here?"

"What does this mean?"

"Maybe it's a ploy to catch them off guard? If we beg them, they should stay, right?"

"If they leave, will those combat personnel also leave? What will we do?"

"That's right! Wang Yuanqiang and the others will definitely leave with them, right?"

"Accept your fate. In this kind of world, no one is willing to take people like us who can't do anything!"

"No, we can't let them leave. We must make them stay. I just had a little hope for this apocalypse, and I felt that we could rebuild a home where we could live safely. Why are they leaving?"

"Yeah, me too! This...what should we do?"

"..."

Li Chenzhou's words caused the square to boil instantly, and the joy and expectation on countless people's faces turned into anxiety and fear.

Although Duan Lei had killed more than one person on the road, and most of the survivors knew about it, and after entering Wu Village, Li Chenzhou even broke the limbs of Hei Ge and his subordinates, and they were still hanging on the trucks at the entrance of the village, which was quite cruel.

But after all, they were dealing with bad people, and along the way, Li Chenzhou's team served as the main force in killing zombies. Even when building the walls, Li Chenzhou was in command, and Duan Lei and the others participated in the arrangement of the village's houses and the storage of resources.

Therefore, every survivor understood that the establishment of this base was mainly due to the existence of Li Chenzhou and the others. If they left, it was likely that the base would immediately disintegrate.

Li Chenzhou listened to the survivors' discussions in the square and did not speak immediately, but let them speak for a while. This was a scene he deliberately created.

This base was completely different from Luo Hong's base. Although Luo Hong's base was under his banner, and he later took action to defeat Lin Qiang's convoy and left them with weapons, after all, the people in that team were all rescued by Luo Hong.

Li Chenzhou did not appear on their way out of the city, so Luo Hong had enough prestige in that base, coupled with his own cultivated confidants, as well as those weapons and his own abilities as an evolver, enough to stabilize the base!

But this place was different. The survivors in this base, including the people from the urban village who arrived earlier, were all rescued by Li Chenzhou and his team, or at least Li Chenzhou and his team cleared the zombies so that they had a chance to escape.

Although Wang Yuanqiang and Kong Xiang had left an impression on the minds of all the survivors on the road because of Duan Lei's deliberate cultivation, they were not comparable to Li Chenzhou and the others at all.

Therefore, what Li Chenzhou had to do now was to push Wang Yuanqiang and Kong Xiang out, otherwise, they would enter the city tomorrow morning, and if those survivors discovered that Li Chenzhou and his team had left without any psychological preparation, there would probably be a big mess.

"Alright! Everyone! I haven't finished speaking!"

Li Chenzhou said again:

"We will leave here tomorrow and enter the city again, because we still have to kill zombies and rescue trapped survivors, just like we did today.

In this apocalypse, the more humans survive, the greater our chance of defeating the zombies and returning to the world we once knew.

Of course, only our small team will leave. Wang Yuanqiang's combat team will still stay here. Moreover, the survivors we rescue tomorrow will also go to another place, because there are already enough of you here. This is your base, and future construction will depend on you.

In addition, you should all know Wang Yuanqiang and Kong Xiang. From now on, they will lead everyone to build this base.

By the way, Wang Yuanqiang and Kong Xiang are actually very powerful, but today they mainly had to save people, so they didn't show it. However, I think you will definitely have a chance to see it in the future.

Next, let them say a few words for everyone!"

As he spoke, Li Chenzhou gave the microphone in his hand to Wang Yuanqiang and Kong Xiang. The two of them were stunned. Then, Wang Yuanqiang nudged Kong Xiang with his arm. Kong Xiang stepped forward, took the microphone, looked at the survivors below, took a deep breath and said:

"Everyone! Actually... just half an hour ago, Yuanqiang was still persuading me to cheer up and not lose hope for the future. He said that although zombies are rampant now, as long as we are still alive, there is hope for everything!

However, Yuanqiang is not very eloquent, so he didn't make me feel hopeful for the future. I always thought that there was probably no one who could rekindle my confidence in life!

But now I am standing here, speaking to you with confidence. Do you know... where my confidence comes from?"
