"Everyone, I'm doing this for your own good! And let me tell you, you've been fooled again. That guy definitely had something blocking his chest, otherwise, why wouldn't he point the gun at his mouth?"

Hearing the crowd's words, Karl panicked and shouted:

"I'm telling you, they're just trying to escape. You can watch, they definitely won't dare to come back. Otherwise, with so many of us, even if he's strong, he can't kill us all. Not even Rambo could do that!"

Hearing Karl's words, the crowd looked at each other again. But the man holding Karl laughed. He was James' guard and wouldn't be easily swayed by Karl. He looked at Karl and said:

"Karl! Do you even believe what you're saying? Also, I want to ask, if you're so sure that those two Orientals have escaped and won't dare to come back, then why are you trying to sneak away?

If they're not coming back, what are you afraid of?"

"I..."

Karl was speechless. Yes, if he was sure that Li Chenzhou and the others wouldn't dare to come back, why was he running? There was no way he could explain that!

"Alright, just shut up! I'm telling you, no matter if those two Orientals come back or not, and no matter if what you're saying is true or false, we won't let you leave. We'll let James decide what to do with you when he gets back.

Because you were previously banished by him, and now you've reappeared here. First of all, you've already disobeyed General James' orders. So, just wait! Don't even think about running, or I'll definitely give you a taste of suffering!"

Saying that, he waved his hand at the people around him:

"Alright, everyone get back to work. There are still a lot of people coming back, and we don't have enough space. If you don't want to sleep outside tonight, get moving!"

Hearing this man's words, the others gradually dispersed. Only thirty or forty people remained. One of them looked at the man and asked:

"Do you think... those two Orientals will really come back?"

"I don't know if they'll come back, but I can tell you for sure that if it weren't for those two Orientals, you'd still be hiding in the sewers like a rat!"

The man said unceremoniously:

"James is right. Someone saved you. If you can't be grateful, at least don't try to slander them. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to go back to the sewers. Maybe that's where you belong!"

These words made the remaining people blush. They didn't dare to ask the questions they originally wanted to, and they all scurried away.

"I'm saying! We're supposed to be on the same side, you guys..."

Seeing that everyone else had left, Karl really panicked and quickly opened his mouth to speak. But before he could finish, the man impatiently chopped him on the neck, knocking him unconscious, and said disdainfully:

"Shut up, you stupid groundhog! I don't want to hear your crap anymore. It makes my ears feel like they're full of shit!!!"

...

When Li Chenzhou and Gray Bear returned to the capitol building, the work there was all finished. They had even dug up the ground on both sides of the road to bury the bodies of their comrades, and they had erected crosses on top of them.

Li Chenzhou and Gray Bear jumped out of the car and came to the tombs. Mike turned around, looked at Li Chenzhou and Gray Bear, then looked at the tombs, and said:

"A total of thirty-two people died in the battle. We don't know the names of twelve of them, so we had to leave them blank. But I don't think they have anything to complain about. In this world, being able to have a grave with a cross after death is quite a luxury. At least, I can't guarantee that I'll get such treatment after I die!"

"Survival of the fittest! There's really nothing to complain about!"

Li Chenzhou came to the front of the cemetery and bowed three times to the graves:

"No matter when, the law of the jungle will exist. Survival of the fittest is eternal. It's just that, in the past, those who were eliminated might have only lost their jobs, but now, they lose their lives!"

Saying that, Li Chenzhou turned around and looked at the survivors:

"I think, after experiencing the previous battle, you should understand better how to survive. Honestly, if you were to face the previous situation again, you definitely wouldn't have lost so many people!

In the end, it's because your combat experience is too little. Because you've been avoiding zombies, trying not to fight them. But that way, you'll never grow. In your eyes, zombies will always be invincible.

I bet, when you saw the zombie horde, you definitely thought you were done for, that you would all die here. Now look, although we still lost some people, but that's the price of growth!

Think about it, before, when you encountered zombies, wouldn't the survivors feel lucky? But what about now? What you should have gained is confidence. At least, in your hearts, you won't think that zombies are invincible and can't be killed anymore.

At least, when you encounter a zombie horde, you won't have the same thought as before: I'm done for, I'm going to die here today! Right?"

"That's right! Li!"

One of the survivors stood up and said:

"When I saw the zombie horde before, I was thinking exactly what you said. I thought I was dead. I even thought that I would never be able to pat Nina's big fat ass again in my life! And I almost peed my pants at the time!

But we won. Honestly, I really didn't expect us to win, and that so many people would survive. I clearly remember that my first base was discovered by three enhanced zombies, and as a result, only a dozen people escaped out of more than two hundred. The others... all turned into zombies. They won't even have tombstones!

Just three zombies were able to destroy my base, but just now, we were facing at least thirty thousand zombies, right? But we won!

Although we were hiding in the building, taking advantage of the terrain, and we had enough bullets, but think about it, back then, my base had plenty of guns too, and the terrain of the sewers was about the same as the building!

But why were we killed by three zombies? Because we didn't choose to resist at all at the time. The moment we saw the zombies, we scattered and fled. If we could have been like we were just now, all of us together, to block the zombies, to attack the zombies, although some people would still die, there definitely wouldn't have been so many, and we would definitely have been able to kill those zombies!"

Saying that, this person took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Li Chenzhou, saying:

"Li! You're right! We've been avoiding before, we were afraid to fight. You've given me back my courage. So, from now on, please take me with you! No matter where you go, I want to follow you!"

"..."

Hearing this person's words, Li Chenzhou was speechless. What did I just say? The effect is so good? Should I go back to town later and do it again? Maybe I can recruit enough people...
