Chapter 114: Ghostly Scheme

  "I'm still saying the same old thing, if you're willing to stay then stay, no one will stop you." Xu Min opened his mouth and said to those survivors who had already been speechless: "Now please get out, don't disturb our discussion!"

  "Who wants to listen to you..." These survivors muttered, but did not move their feet. After listening to Xu Min's series of questions, they also realized that the environment they were in could no longer allow them to live a life of luxury. If they didn't follow Xu Min and leave together, they would have to face those zombies. They didn't want to die, they valued their lives more than anything else.

  "Are you not leaving? If you're not leaving, we are!"

  They remained motionless, and after Xu Min spoke, she walked out of the conference room. She was not in the mood to argue with these selfish people, and she still had to come up with a suitable reason for Wu Xiaotian to take them away. The people behind Xu Min followed her out as soon as they saw her step forward. Only the survivors on the other side were left in the conference room, staring at each other blankly. They didn't even bother to tend to the young man lying in the pool of blood, letting his head continue to bleed profusely.

  Xu Min led a group of people to another conference room before stopping, and after everyone sat down, Xu Min said to them: "You also know that the other side asked us to give a reason, but I couldn't think of this reason no matter what, so I hope everyone can brainstorm and help me come up with this reason."

  "Director Xu, I think we don't need to consider this reason at all!"

  The man who spoke was a middle-aged male with yellow hair like dry grass, and his stubble made him look haggard. Only his eyes were bright and spirited. His words made everyone turn to him. Xu Min knew that this middle-aged man had been on her side from the beginning, but only knew that his name was Zhang Qian, a guest at the hotel who had checked in several days before the apocalypse broke out. Xu Min didn't know any other information about him because he usually spoke very little, and now his words were astonishing.

  "Zhang Qian, why say that?"

  "Director Xu should see the composition of those people, among them there are three children, a cripple, and a patient. Not to mention others, just these weak and sick people account for half of the number. Of course, it's possible that they have relatives or friends among them, but what if not?" Without waiting for everyone to respond, Zhang Qian continued: "To say something unpleasant, those weak and sick people will only drag down their leader, but the leader didn't abandon them, what does this show?"

  "This indicates..."

  Zhang Qian didn't wait for Xu Min to finish speaking and directly said: "Even if we can't come up with any reason, the leader will still take us away."

  "Really?" Xu Min excitedly asked Qian: "Really, even if we can't give any reason, he will still take us away?"

  "Yes, because that leader is a Huaxia person, a real Huaxia man!"

  Xu Min heard Qian's words and said fiercely: "You little man, how dare you make me so anxious! I'll go find him right now!"

  "Director Xu, you'd better not go. If I'm guessing correctly, the leader's true intention is to have us not disturb him during this period of time!"

  Zhang Qian's words made Xu Min sit on the chair, as if thinking of something, and asked Zhang Qian: "So what should we do during this period?"

  "Get your mood ready, prepare to face the apocalypse outside!" Without looking at Xu Min, Zhang Qian's gaze passed through the glass and looked out at the sky outside, but his mouth still said: "If you've made up your mind, go find a few cars. They only have one car now, we need to get some means of transportation too!"

  "Alright, thank you Zhang Qian. Xiao Jie, little man, you guys go to the parking lot and take a look, mark all the cars that can be started, and pay attention to safety."

  Xu Min thanked Zhang Qian and then instructed Xiao Jie and Xiao Nan to find a means of transportation. After the two left, Xu Min asked Zhang Qian another question: "Zhang Qian, do you think the leader will take away those selfish people?"

  "I don't know about that, because I'm not the leader!"

  After Zhang Qian finished speaking, he retreated into the crowd and continued to be that man of few words. But what he said today had already shocked everyone, making everyone look at him in a new light. It's indeed as the old saying goes: "If you don't make a sound, it's fine; but once you do, it will shock people!"

  Zhang Qian did not know that everything he had just said was recorded in a notebook by Xiao Ling, who always carried a small notebook to jot down things. His performance today would also be recorded by later generations as "the appearance of ghostly strategy", but this is another story and will not be mentioned for now.

  In another conference room of the hotel, the survivors on the other side were also holding a meeting.

  "You say, will those people take us away?"

  "I don't know, but I should be able to!"

  "Take me away, what should we ask for then?"

  “……”

  These people were engaged in a heated discussion, and before long, the topic turned to women. At this time, the young man who was lying on the ground with blood still flowing from his head stood up shakily, looking at the people sitting in the chairs with venomous eyes. His heart kept shouting: "You're great, really great, letting me lie on the ground like this, and Xu Min, you vixen, beating my waiter, I want you all to die!"

  Although the man's face was filled with malice, those discussing did not see it because they were discussing their beautiful life in the future.

  On the other side of the city, Du ZiTeng had Li Tian and Shen Qing gather all the survivors together. There were forty-three in total, including men and women, old and young. Although they had different identities, statuses, and occupations before, now they only had one occupation - survivor.

  At this time, Du ZiTeng walked out of the apartment building. Originally, these survivors were still chatting and laughing, but after seeing Du ZiTeng, they all fell silent. Du ZiTeng swept a glance at the crowd that had fallen silent in an instant, and opened his mouth to say: "Now I ask for the last time, are you all really willing to leave? It's still possible to regret it now!"

  Willing

  The crowd's unanimous shout pierced the city's silence, but Du Ziteng was very satisfied with the shout. After nodding to a few people in the crowd, Du Ziteng shouted loudly: "Get on the bus, let's go."

  The survivors heard Du ZiTeng's words and rushed to the various vehicles parked on one side, while Du ZiTeng looked northward and muttered involuntarily: "I don't know where he is now, has he already rescued all the targets? Poor me, I've run so many places, but only found one target!"
