Chapter 141: Decision to Head North

  The scorching sun was baking the earth, with temperatures soaring all the way up. The sun seemed to want to evaporate every last bit of moisture in the air, making anyone standing on this already sweltering ground sweat profusely. And yet, under this blazing sun stood a group of people, numbering over sixty, who despite their large numbers made not a sound, all gathered around a car, waiting for the man standing on its roof to speak - Wu Xiaotian.

  He raised his head and took a glance at the dazzling sun, Wu Xiaotian didn't know how many of the people surrounding him would follow him to the north. Liu Ting, Duan Yue were his closest friends, they would unconditionally follow him north without any hesitation. Tang Jiajia, Da Chuan, Leng Zi, Li Tian, and Xia Ming were also trustworthy people that Wu Xiaotian knew would follow him, but there was another group of people that he wasn't sure about, because some of them had just met him for the first time, it was impossible for them to follow him all the way to Yanjing just based on a few words, after all, it was a journey of thousands of miles!

  Even if they didn't follow Wu Xiaotian to the north, Wu Xiaotian wouldn't blame them. Everyone has their own aspirations. Since they were willing to stay in this city to survive, Wu Xiaotian wouldn't force them. Instead, he would leave behind many supplies and firearms, because they needed these things more than Wu Xiaotian did.

  Lowering his head, he swept a glance over the survivors. Wu Xiao Tian didn't want to waste that precious time either, and directly opened his mouth to say: "Cough, cough, I've gathered you all here because I have something to announce!"

  "Who is he, so arrogant, making us wait for so long just to hear him say one thing!" A young man among the survivors asked a man beside him, looking at Wu Xiaotian standing on top of the car.

  This man, who was almost killed yesterday by Liu Ting's handgun being broken in two, this burly man, after hearing the young man's words, hastily said: "Shut up, this is Du Ge's brother, our true leader!"

  "No way, I think he's about the same age as me!" The young man seemed to disbelieve the burly man's words, looking at Wu Xiaotian's youthful face, unable to believe that he was the person Du Ziteng often mentioned.

  "How could I not? Have you seen the woman standing in the back?" The burly man pointed to Liu Ting, who was standing on the periphery, still yawning: "She's also an Evolver, just like Du and Shen. Yesterday, when that person first arrived, I didn't know who he was, so I aimed my gun at him and asked him who he was. Before he could even respond, that woman suddenly appeared in front of me and with one sword strike, she destroyed the gun in my hand into two halves!"

  This young man just turned his head to take a look at Liu Ting, and almost had his soul hooked away by Liu Ting, because this Liu Ting was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. The big-mouthed, drooling young man was immediately shaken awake by that burly big fellow.

  "Stop drooling, someone has already claimed the famous flower. You..." This burly man was about to say something else when Wu Xiaotian had already spoken up, and he immediately fell silent, waiting for Wu Xiaotian's next words.

  Wu Xiaotian said, "We're heading north tomorrow, departing for Yanjing!"

  The survivors who heard Wu Xiaotian's words were in an uproar, except for those who already knew about the matter.

  "What? Going to Yanjing? Are you crazy?"

  "Yanjing, I've never been there before, just go take a look!"

  "Really? Yanjing is over two thousand miles away from Chun City, what a perilous journey that would be!"

  "I'm not going, just not going, no matter what!"

  "I heard that Yanjing now has the largest survivor base, I don't know if it's true or not?"

  The young man who was still sniffling just now, asked the burly man in front of him: "Brother Biao, do you think we should follow him to Yanjing?"

  This burly man named Zhang Liang, with the same name and surname as Han Dynasty's Liu Hou, but he was a far cry from the historical Zhang Liang. He used to act without thinking, earning him the nickname "Biaozi". However, in this apocalyptic world, he had changed his ways and now thought before acting, which earned Du Ziteng's appreciation and made him responsible for sentry duty. This also saved his life, as if he had shot Wu Xiaotian without hesitation yesterday, Liu Ting's twin swords would have cut his gun in half instead of just rendering it useless...

  "Follow! Why not follow? Think about it, how many Evolvers do we have now? Without them, can we defeat those abnormal mutant zombies on our own?"

  "Right! Follow!" The young man directly said after hearing the "Biaozi"'s words: "If it weren't for Du Ge's rescue and protection, we would have been a pile of zombie shit by now, if zombies could still metabolize!"

  "Haha, you're a clever kid!" The big guy chuckled and smiled at the young man.

  However, not everyone thought like these two. They only thought of the dangers on the way north, but didn't think that surviving in this doomsday was a dangerous thing in itself!

  Xu Min, who was standing behind the crowd, was also thinking at this time whether to follow Wu Xiaotian and others to the north. Although she also wanted to follow Wu Xiaotian to the north, she wasn't alone, and she still had to be responsible for the survivors who followed her out of the hotel, because after all, it wasn't a journey of hundreds of kilometers, but thousands, tens of thousands of kilometers!

  Xu Min looked uncertain and asked Zhang Qian, who was smiling beside him: "Zhang Qian, do you think we should follow them north?"

  "If we want to live longer, let's follow!" Zhang Qian's answer made Xu Min decide instantly to follow Wu Xiaotian northward.

  Wu Xiaotian didn't care about the lively crowd below, just like a vegetable market. He knew that everyone needs to have a thinking process and a discussion process. If they rush to make a decision, it's irresponsible to themselves and their own lives!

  Wu Xiaotian didn't let them make a decision so quickly, he let Lengzi fire his gun first and calm these people down.

  Bang!

  The unusually lively crowd fell silent immediately after hearing Lengzi's gunshot, because they knew that Wu Xiaotian, standing on the car roof, still had something to say.

  As expected, Wu Xiaotian spoke up after seeing everyone quiet down: "I won't force you to follow us north, nor will I casually abandon anyone. Now, you don't have to make a decision immediately, you have one day to think about it. If you want to follow us, go find Duan Yuelong tonight to register. If you want to stay, I, Wu Xiaotian, won't let you die like a rabbit or a dog, I'll leave behind plenty of supplies and ammunition, giving you the opportunity to survive in this city!"
