"Sir!"

Just as Gray Bear was about to leave, the three soldiers suddenly called out, looking at Gray Bear expectantly.

They had been putting on a show for quite some time, but Gray Bear hadn't given them any indication and was about to leave. How could they not be anxious?

Hearing the three soldiers calling him, Gray Bear stopped, looked at them, and then turned back to look at Li Chenzhou.

"The three of you will listen to Qingluan from now on. Whatever she tells you to do, you will do!"

Li Chenzhou thought for a moment, then directly pointed to Qingluan and said to the three soldiers,

"In the future, she will be the leader of this mountain village, the only one. If you want to live well in this mountain village, then you should think carefully about what you should do!"

"Yes!"

The three soldiers immediately responded loudly.

Actually, they wanted to follow Li Chenzhou and his group, but now it seemed that Li Chenzhou didn't intend to accept them. Well… since that was the case, being able to follow Qingluan was also acceptable. After all, Li Chenzhou had said that Qingluan would be the leader of this mountain village in the future.

Although Qingluan was a girl, and the soldiers didn't know that Qingluan and the other two had become Awakened Ones, possessing enough power to control the mountain village, she was, after all, the leader designated by Li Chenzhou.

The three soldiers were clear about Li Chenzhou's strength, so in their view, since Li Chenzhou had designated Qingluan, then even if Qingluan was a waste, she would definitely become the leader.

This was just the beginning. If they were to join Qingluan now, it could be considered a meritorious service from the start, right? At the very least, they would have a place in the mountain village in the future.

Seeing that the three soldiers agreed readily and immediately ran to Qingluan, expressing their loyalty, Li Chenzhou then left with Gray Bear. As for Duan Xue, because she had been in contact with Qingluan and the others before, she simply stayed behind to help!

Liu Jinshan and his soldiers were still on the commercial street. Li Chenzhou ignored them. This guy's performance had really disappointed Li Chenzhou, so he simply stopped paying attention to him. How to arrange Liu Jinshan and his soldiers was up to Qingluan to handle.

In fact, Li Chenzhou had always had this attitude towards the bases he had helped establish. I can help, and I can also give you some advice, but I will definitely not interfere with your decisions.

After all, this base is yours, not mine. You can manage it however you want.

Returning to Dark Blood, Li Chenzhou saw Li Yunshan, who was sitting on the sofa, thinking blankly about something. Seeing Li Chenzhou come in, he turned his head, glanced at Li Chenzhou, and sighed softly.

"Sorry! I originally intended to have your comrade manage this mountain village, but… I found that his ideas may not be suitable for this post-apocalyptic world, so…"

Li Chenzhou spoke first, saying to Li Yunshan.

"You don't need to apologize!"

Before Li Chenzhou could finish speaking, Li Yunshan raised his hand to stop him, then sighed again:

"I understand! I also chatted with Jinshan for a few words just now. He… is indeed not suitable for this post-apocalyptic world, and neither am I!"

Speaking of this, Li Yunshan's cyan face was full of disappointment:

"We are soldiers. We have our own beliefs in our hearts, our own honor and persistence. However, these things seem out of place in this post-apocalyptic world!

If we hadn't come here, Jinshan would still be imprisoned, and when Wu Zhiqun and the others completely controlled the mountain village, Jinshan would definitely not have a good outcome. Because only by killing him could they eliminate his influence among the soldiers. Wang Tiejian wouldn't be at ease if he didn't die.

But this guy, after gaining his freedom and seeing me, although shocked by my current state, was still thinking about Wu Zhiqun's lackeys, and even after I told him that you might kill those guys, he left in a hurry, alas!"

Raising his head, he looked at Li Chenzhou:

"Actually, if there had been someone like Wu Zhiqun and the others in the hotel we occupied at that time, I would have been like Jinshan, obeying his orders, even if… his orders were not appropriate, because we are soldiers!

This identity is an honor for us, but it is also a shackle. As long as we don't give up this identity, we will always be restricted by those rules and regulations!

Now, I am already a zombie, so I am free, but Jinshan and the others… I hope they can change as soon as possible!"

"I don't know if they can change, but what I do know is that in this post-apocalyptic world, you either adapt or be eliminated. It's that simple, no matter what your identity is!"

Li Chenzhou sat on the sofa opposite Li Yunshan, looking at Li Yunshan and said:

"Just like you, after you became zombies, you may have lost the courage to live, so you stayed in that zombie horde, stayed by the Corpse Demon's side, intending to kill it, even if it meant dying together.

But now, you have made changes, accepted us, and are willing to be with us, then your role will become greater, and your life will be more meaningful.

Although you haven't done anything yet, tomorrow we will enter Qi City, and when that time comes, it will be your time to shine!

By the way, speaking of Qi City, Captain Li, do you have any news about your family…?"

"No!"

Li Yunshan shook his head:

"I asked Jinshan just now. He did go to our house, but our house was empty, and there were no signs of fighting.

According to Jinshan's speculation, he said that my family should have left on their own, because he checked the room, and the room was not messy. Moreover, there were fewer photos in the photo album, so my family should have taken them themselves!"

"That means… they left the city?"

Li Chenzhou asked.

"Yes! But they are not in this mountain village, nor in Jinshan's military camp!"

Li Yunshan said.

"It's okay! As long as they are still alive, we will always be able to find them, and we will slowly find the families of others too!"

Li Chenzhou comforted him.

"Yes!"

Li Yunshan nodded, then looked at Li Chenzhou and asked:

"It doesn't matter if Jinshan isn't the leader of the base, because he may indeed not be suitable, but what do you plan to do with him and his soldiers? Their existence will definitely be beneficial to this mountain village.

If they are not arranged well, they may return to their military camp. They also have survivors they rescued there, but the military camp is really not suitable to be used as a base, and it will also weaken the strength here!"

"This is not something I need to worry about. This mountain village already has an owner. How to deal with it is her business!"

Li Chenzhou smiled and looked out the window as he answered…
