Chapter 289 Making a Decision
Two minutes later, Yue Zongyang's voice rang out again in the underground research institute.
"I know that everyone is feeling panicked right now, but!"
After saying that, his eyes suddenly turned sharp in the video.
"We can't give up like this. Even if there's only a sliver of hope, I will make sure you all continue to live!"
As soon as the voice fell silent, all the survivors fell silent, staring in astonishment at the screen hanging in the air.
This time, Yue Zongyang didn't give everyone time to process his words; he continued speaking.
"I have already ordered Chief Steward Wang to coordinate all the guards; he will lead the soldiers to defend the area."
"I know that we have no advantage in numbers compared to that legion of death, but we have all kinds of powerful weapons!"
"I can tell you definitively that the underground research institute has everything: fighter jets, tanks, mortars... and so on, a whole range of highly lethal weapons!"
"With these weapons, we are not without the ability to fight!"
"So what if there are a lot of zombies? Can they withstand our cannons? Can they withstand our bombardment?..."
"Therefore, I hope that everyone here at this moment will not be too pessimistic, and even more so, will not panic!"
"This war is about to begin, and I will fight with all my might to defeat that legion of death and let everyone continue to live!"
...
Sure enough, after Yue Zongyang finished speaking these inspiring words, the noise in many places decreased significantly.
He paused for a moment, then spoke again.
"This is a war between humans and zombies, so I think none of us can stand aside, because that's how we've survived until now by supporting each other."
"I hope that courageous people will step forward and join this battle right now!"
"I have instructed all staff members that anyone who wants to join the fight and contribute can receive firearms for free."
"If you still have a conscience and remember that you are a human being, then pick up your weapons and follow Steward Wang to slaughter the zombies outside!"
"Every zombie you kill represents a greater chance of survival for you. This is not only a fight for others, but also a fight for your own survival!"
"Right now, the underground research institute really needs you..."
...
Yue Zongyang finished speaking, and at the last moment, his face was filled with pleading...
He then bowed deeply to everyone outside the screen, and the next second, the screen was cut off.
By this time, all the guards had already followed Chief Steward Wang upstairs, and the underground research institute had become unusually quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice rang out from afar.
"I...I want to join the war!"
The speaker was a young man who turned to find a staff member to collect a weapon with a fanatical look in his eyes.
"I'm going too!"
"Me, and me too!"
...
Once there's a first person like that, there will be a second.
From every corner, people were seen registering to receive firearms and then heading straight outside.
They were moved by Yue Zongyang's words. Of course, most of the survivors who decided to join the battle were relatively young.
Perhaps it's precisely because they are younger that they possess a greater amount of passionate courage than others...
Of course, those who decide to participate in the war are still a minority.
Most people remained standing there with conflicted expressions. After a moment's hesitation, they turned around and returned to the survivors' settlement.
Most of these people have little fighting ability and are probably older, having long passed the age of youthful vigor.
Yue Zongyang's words also had some influence on them, but at this moment, all they could do was stay here obediently, not cause any panic, and not bring any trouble to the people above who were participating in the battle.
...
In fact, after hearing what Yue Zongyang had said, Han Shuo couldn't deny that he was somewhat moved.
However, what touched him was the moment Yue Zongyang bowed for the last time.
This feeling is like a supreme person suddenly pleading with a commoner from the bottom of society to help him.
Only those who have experienced it firsthand can truly understand the emotional fluctuations they felt at the time.
"Sigh, despite planning and preparing for so long, we still ended up getting caught up in this big battle."
Han Shuo shook his head, no longer thinking about it, because at this moment, he saw Fatty, Xiao Zhao and Li Shurou rushing towards him from not far away.
Soon, the three of them ran up to Han Shuo. The fat man was panting and about to speak when Han Shuo interrupted him.
"Let's go inside first and talk about it then."
"good!"
...
In the living room, apart from Wai Di still lying in the hospital room, everyone gathered here again.
It was the fat man who spoke first; after all, he was an impatient person.
"Han Shuo, we're stuck here. Do you have any good ideas?"
Han Shuo shook his head with a wry smile. At this moment, he couldn't think of any way to escape from here.
They were just one day away—no, if they had been given one more night, they might have been able to escape this legion of death.
Unfortunately, fate always seems to go against plans...
"There's no way we can escape now, so we have to accept our fate."
Han Shuo didn't know why, but he didn't feel much fear in his heart. Instead, he felt a sense of relief.
He didn't actually have much hope of winning the war.
The other survivors, unaware of the specifics, were easily swayed by Yue Zongyang's speech.
However, Han Shuo had faced that death legion head-on, and he knew how terrifying they were; he had experienced that feeling of oppression.
Now, his most cherished brothers are by his side, and Cheng Shenghong, whom he knew, has already safely evacuated.
Perhaps the only thing Han Shuo couldn't let go of at this moment was that older brother who had always been very kind to him.
He wanted to be by Qingyu's side during this great battle, to fight alongside Qingyu...
Han Shuo's eyes instantly hardened, and he spoke.
"Compared to staying here and waiting to die, I still want to go up and fight, because Brother Qingyu is up there too..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhao quickly responded.
"Brother Han, I'm going too!"
Compared to Han Shuo, Xiao Zhao was clearly more worried about Qing Yu.
The fat man shook his head with a wry smile; he was usually the most timid person in the group.
However, he never falters when it comes to crucial moments.
"Damn it, when have I ever been afraid? Let's go find Brother Qingyu and kill those zombies outside!"
