Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Hongli suddenly froze. He knew without a doubt that if Li Chenzhou did as he said, bringing Jin Yuan into the war fortress and letting them manage it together as before, he wouldn't be able to accept it.

That's right, just as Li Chenzhou said, if the two of them ended up with the same treatment, what was the point of his previous insistence? Hongli felt that if Li Chenzhou really did that, even if this small world was amazing, he would choose to leave and not stay here.

"Do you understand now? Sometimes, wanting to be tolerant requires considering whether it will hurt others. You will be the leader of this base in the future, and fairness is what you should strive for. Kindness is acceptable, but you must distinguish the object and the timing!"

Li Chenzhou patted Hongli on the shoulder.

"As for those people, since they chose to stay, let them have their way. They were given a chance and didn't seize it, so it's not your fault!"

"I understand!"

Hongli nodded, then looked at the survivors and used the loudspeaker function.

"Brothers and sisters, don't just be happy. This is our home, and we will live here from now on. We have plenty of time to get to know it, but before that, we need to build it up.

Sleeping on the ground and eating grass is not something we can get used to. So, we need to plan this place out, build houses, plant fields, and completely transform it into our paradise.

First, I need some people to go back to the base with me to get some seeds. I collected those seeds in the city before. I originally planned to plant them in our base, but I was locked up before I could.

Now it seems, Heaven knew we would have this home, so it made me keep the seeds. Now we need to get them back, who wants to go with me?"

"Whoosh!"

As soon as they heard about going back to the base, a large group of people rushed over, clamoring.

"Me! Me! I want to go back to the base. Damn it, I have to record a video and slap Liu Kai's face hard, so he can see I didn't regret it and die!"

"I'm going back too, let them see who the blind one really is!"

"Me too, I want to see Old Wang. That guy said he was going to weed my grave next month, I'll grab some grass here and take it to him, so he won't have to look for my grave next month!!!"

"I want to go back, aren't they laughing at us? I want to see their regretful expressions, hahaha!"

"And me..."

Looking at the enthusiasm of the survivors and listening to their words, Hongli truly understood.

Li Chenzhou was right. If he really did as he had planned, accepting those who stayed behind in the base for the sake of population, there would indeed be more people here, but... the survivors in front of him would definitely have grudges.

Of course, they probably wouldn't choose to leave, but they definitely wouldn't be as close to him as before, because they would feel that no matter how they treated him, he would treat them all the same. Then their trust and support, like his persistence in the water prison, would become meaningless!

"Hahahaha! Good! Everyone who wants to go can go, let's go back together, a group to slap their faces! Let them see our vision, and let them know the rewards your trust has brought you!!!"

Having figured this out, Hongli laughed loudly, then looked at Li Chenzhou, saw Li Chenzhou smiling and nodding at him, and waved his hand.

"Let's go!"

After waving his hand and shouting, Hongli froze, holding the waving gesture for two or three seconds. The survivors looked at him with puzzled expressions.

"Um... Boss Li! How do we get out?"

Li Chenzhou: ...

Survivors: ...

"Xiao Qing, explain to your master how he can get out!"

Li Chenzhou, with a black line on his forehead, called out to the AI.

"No problem!"

Xiao Qing immediately responded, then explained to Hongli how to use the teleportation system and how to set permissions for others. While it was explaining, Li Chenzhou also used the loudspeaker to tell the other survivors that they could also learn about this small world through Xiao Qing, of course, only within their permissions.

Now, the permissions in the small world were very simple, one highest and a bunch of lowest. The highest permission was naturally Hongli's, and everyone else had the lowest permission, which meant they only had the right to enter the small world and contact Xiao Qing. They couldn't do anything else.

Because Li Chenzhou wanted Hongli to set the permissions, and Hongli had been chatting with Li Chenzhou, he didn't have time to set the permissions. He hadn't even asked Xiao Qing how to set the permissions.

In a few minutes, Hongli roughly figured out some of the functions and operation methods of the small world, especially the automatic construction system, which shocked Hongli.

As long as he selected it, no matter how complex the layout or how many high-rise buildings it contained, the automatic construction could be completed instantly.

In other words, if he wanted to, he could instantly complete the construction of the small world and turn it into a small city!

"If that's the case, then this apocalypse... isn't all bad!"

Hongli didn't ask Li Chenzhou how this war fortress came to be, because Li Chenzhou hadn't told him主动告诉 him, so he didn't want to ask too much. But in his opinion, the war fortress must have appeared because of the apocalypse.

"Alright! Boss Li, I'll take them to get the seeds first, and we'll talk when we get back!"

After figuring it out, Hongli said to Li Chenzhou. Seeing Li Chenzhou nod, he said to the survivors,

"Alright, those who want to go down, prepare what you want to bring, and then stand where you appeared when you came in!"

Hearing this, the survivors quickly took action. Li Chenzhou looked around. Out of the one thousand three to four hundred people, except for the three hundred who didn't plan to go out, everyone else stood back in the position where they entered the small world.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Hongli waved his hand again, shouting again,

"Go~~!"

This time, as soon as his movements were made and the words had not yet landed, he had disappeared, along with the thousand-plus survivors...

At this time, the base was already in chaos. How could they not see such a large fortress?

Although they didn't know that the fortress had an internal space, just looking at the ferocious shape of the war fortress, they could guess how powerful it was.

If this fortress could stay in the base, would they still be afraid of zombies in the future? Definitely not. As long as they hid in the fortress, who could get up there? This was a floating fortress!

Just as they were studying how to get up to the fortress that was floating so high, everyone below the fortress disappeared instantly, and below the fortress, only Li Chenzhou's car was left parked alone in the wilderness...
