Hearing the woman's words, everyone else looked at Zhao Dahai. Zhao Dahai remained calm, looked at the woman, and smiled:

"First of all, Madam, I think you should remember how you got here. We killed the zombies, cleared the floor, and then called you out, and brought you here."

Then, Zhao Dahai looked at the others:

"Secondly, I'm imprisoning you? I'd like to know, what benefit would imprisoning you bring me? We killed all the zombies on the twentieth floor, blocked all the entrances and exits to prevent zombies from entering, giving everyone a safe environment. And I just said that I plan to go down to scout the situation and collect weapons, ready to take people to find food and bring it back.

"But the result is that you think I have ulterior motives? I'm telling you, the reason I don't want you to wander around is because we're going down to risk our lives to collect weapons and food, so we have a greater chance of survival.

"Therefore, we don't have so many people to guard those entrances and exits anymore. What I'm afraid of is that someone will run away out of fear, go and open those entrances and exits, and then run back when they encounter zombies, bringing all the zombies in. Do you think that's possible? Who will die then?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Dahai actually gave a bitter smile and nodded:

"But what about you? You actually think we have ulterior motives. Fine! Since we're suspected of having ulterior motives for protecting you and searching for food for you, then forget it, we won't bother. You can do whatever you want, and we'll give this floor to you. I'll take my brothers and leave immediately!

"We'll go to other floors, and you don't need to follow us anymore. You can figure out how to get food and water yourselves, so as not to be harmed by us. Is that okay? Goodbye!"

With that, Zhao Dahai looked like he was filled with righteous indignation and was about to leave.

"Don't go, Brother Zhao!"

A young man in a suit with glasses immediately rushed out and grabbed Zhao Dahai, raising one hand and saying:

"I swear, I never thought you would harm us. Now it's the apocalypse, everyone must stick together. The more people there are, the greater our strength, and the more chances we have to survive! Don't go, that crazy woman's words only represent herself, not us!"

"Who the hell are you calling a crazy woman?"

The woman frowned when she heard this, staring at the young man and shouting.

Although this woman was over forty years old, she was well-maintained, and she was wearing famous brands. Her head was always slightly raised when she spoke, and it was obvious that she was an elite, like a senior executive of a company.

"I'm talking about you! If you think they're imprisoning you, then you can get your ass to another floor and don't bring us along."

Several other people also stood up and accused the woman.

After all, they were all rescued by Zhao Dahai and his men yesterday. From the beginning of the mutation until now, they hadn't killed a single zombie. The zombies in the floor were all killed by Zhao Dahai and his men.

Now that they saw Zhao Dahai was about to abandon them, they were of course panicked. If they were asked to go down to kill zombies and find food, let alone if they were empty-handed, even if they were given weapons, they wouldn't have the courage.

"That's right! People are obviously kind-hearted, they saved you and you still suspect them of having ulterior motives? Don't you look at your appearance, even pigs wouldn't want to plow you in the fields!"

"That's right, we believe in them, they saved us, and they will always protect us. If you don't believe it, then leave, don't stay here."

"Yes! If you're so capable, then why don't you go kill zombies? They saved you, and sent people to find rescue, and they have to go find food, how can you think like this? What a waste of kindness!"

"..."

With someone taking the lead, the others immediately jumped out and accused the woman, to show their position. Even some people who were leaning against the wall, although they couldn't interject, also put on a look of righteous indignation, indicating that they were standing with Zhao Dahai.

Seeing that she had suddenly become the target of public criticism, the woman's face changed. She looked at everyone, and suddenly pointed at a young man in the crowd and shouted:

"Guo Jianyong, you've become quite capable, haven't you? How dare you shout at me?"

The young man, pointed at by the woman's nose, was stunned, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. Then he looked at everyone, then at Zhao Dahai, and suddenly gritted his teeth and walked towards the woman, raising his hand and slapping her in the face:

"What's wrong with shouting at you? I'll fucking slap you, Sun Lixia. Do you still think this is the way it used to be? Can you do whatever you want just because you're a department manager? The company is fucking gone, am I still afraid of you? Are you going to fire me? Fuck!"

"You!"

Sun Lixia was stunned, looking at the somewhat ferocious Guo Jianyong with disbelief, unable to say a word.

"Alright! Everyone!"

Seeing that it was about time, Zhao Dahai opened his hands and pressed down, saying:

"Since everyone trusts me, then we will continue to stay. But I want to make it clear, first, when I said before to let everyone stay here, I meant to let everyone supervise each other. I will not put people at the door to watch everyone, that's different from imprisonment. After all, there are many of us now, so some rules are definitely necessary. Companies have rules and regulations, right?

"Secondly, I don't want us to try our best to save people, and protect everyone, and find food and water for everyone, only to be suspected by everyone in the end. So, if anyone thinks that they can live well in this world, or doesn't trust us, then please leave. We will definitely not stop you.

"But let me say this in advance, once you leave, if you feel that the outside is dangerous and want to come back, then I'm sorry, we refuse to accept you. Does everyone think that what I said is okay?"

"Of course it's okay!"

"That's right, without rules, there can be no order."

"I support it! If anyone feels it's not good, then leave. If you have the ability to leave, no one will stop you!"

"Brother Zhao and the others are such good people, they have the ability to save people and protect us, so it's natural that they should make some rules."

Hearing that Zhao Dahai agreed to continue staying, those people breathed a sigh of relief, so they nodded.

"So... is there anyone who wants to leave? If you want to leave, you can leave now!"

Zhao Dahai raised his hand again, then looked around at everyone and asked.

There was silence below, and no one even dared to move, for fear of being misunderstood as wanting to leave. Even the woman, at this time, was just covering her face, glaring fiercely at Guo Jianyong, but her mouth was also tightly closed.

"Okay! Then I'll assume that everyone doesn't want to leave, and will abide by some of the rules that we have set down for everyone's safety!"

Zhao Dahai nodded, imperceptibly pointing out that he would set rules in the future, and then looked at the woman:

"But... Madam, because you have questioned me before, I believe that you don't trust us, but you didn't speak up only because you don't dare to leave alone.

"I'm not comfortable with someone like you staying here, because I'm worried that you will instigate some people to leave, and will do some damage to our defense when you leave. Just like the look in your eyes now, I see hatred, so you can't stay here!"

Hearing Zhao Dahai's words, the resentment in the woman's eyes instantly turned into panic...
