Chapter 83 You Go
After the explanation, Qin Mu and his wife were stunned. Wen Minjun's eyes widened and she covered her mouth: "Don't they care about the lives of so many people?!"
The base originally had more than 600,000 people. After the previous attacks by zombie bugs and zombie birds, there are now 500,000 people. After such a long period of conscription, all the stationed troops add up to about 150,000, and the other miscellaneous security forces are 50,000. That is to say, even if they take their families away, there will be at least 200,000 survivors left in the base, 99% of whom are ordinary people, facing more than 100,000 zombies alone.
Indeed, facing such a massive zombie siege, relying on the base's hundreds of thousands of troops to counter over a hundred thousand zombies, many of them high-level, meant no one would be willing to make such a sacrifice unless they were prepared for a life without return. Clearly, the higher-ups at the J City base weren't so aware, otherwise they wouldn't have made evacuation preparations so early.
Needless to say, the source of information about such an important matter must be accurate, but there is no news in the base now, which means that they will not even announce this news and are preparing to leave quietly when the time comes.
"What should we do then?" someone asked.
Gu Chao looked at Zhou Zixi, "You want to stay, right?"
Zhou Zixi raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly: "Yes."
"Why?"
He smiled slightly. "This is the second time you've asked me this question. Well, my answer remains the same: I assumed you knew."
If they abandon the survivors in the base, there is no doubt that they can evacuate successfully, but it also means pushing so many people into the zombie camp. There were only 100,000 of them originally, and they will become 300,000 after passing through the J City base. So, if every base abandons and flees when it encounters a zombie tide, there will be more and more zombies in the end. Where can they finally escape to?
A glint of admiration flashed in Gu Chao's eyes, and he looked around. "I also advocate staying. What about you?"
When the other members of the team heard this, the tense atmosphere was instantly broken.
"Brother, you must stay. This is the first time I've seen so many zombies. I'm going to teach them a lesson."
"Captain, is there any need to ask? I will definitely follow you."
"Hey, we're not running. Hiding is not a manly thing to do."
Qin Mu and his wife looked at each other, and their panicked hearts gradually calmed down. They were moved by their kindness and righteousness, and admired their foresight. They both smiled and said they wanted to stay.
There was only one person who became more and more frightened and anxious the more she listened. When everyone expressed their desire to stay, she could not bear it any longer.
"No, we have to leave as soon as possible!" A sudden voice interrupted their discussion.
Everyone turned around and looked at the owner of the voice in surprise. They didn't expect that she would be the one to oppose it.
Lu Ming frowned and repeated, "You can't stay!"
"Why?"
Lu Ming hesitated for a moment before saying, "The estimate of 100,000 is just your guess. What if there are 200,000 or 300,000? With only these few people left, how are you going to defend?!"
She didn't expect that the current plot would be so outrageous. In the original story, they had no intention of staying, so why would it be so this time... ?
They had already suffered such a miserable fate when they chose to flee before, so if they stayed to defend the base again, they would be completely annihilated.
Gu Chao heard this and his eyes were stern. "How many are there?"
Lu Ming opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed his words back, "How should I know? I'm just reminding you."
A trace of frustration flashed in Gu Chao's eyes, and he shook his head. "If it's just a matter of quantity, then for the base, whether it's 100,000 or 200,000, it makes no difference at all."
Lu Ming choked and said, "Yes, even if there are only 100,000 people, the remaining security forces will not be able to hold the position."
She was a little confused, "So you want to stay and die?"
"Of course not."
Cheng Ming continued, "If we only have the existing defenders, it will definitely not work. But if we can mobilize everyone in the base to defend the city together, then our chances of winning will be much greater."
"Them? What can those ordinary people do? Those who dare to fight zombies have long been drafted into the army, and the remaining ones are useless. Besides, even if they dare to take up arms, they can only deal with ordinary zombies at best. Those high-level zombies of level four and five are nothing but food for the mouths no matter how many people go there!"
Everyone was shocked and puzzled. Gu Chao's face darkened. "There are level five zombies in this wave?"
Lu Ming steeled his heart and nodded, "Right! Didn't you all keep asking me why I went out at that time? It was because I heard that a very powerful zombie appeared. When I got there, I found that it was already level five. It was very powerful, and even if we worked together, it would be difficult to kill it."
"Have you fought with it? How do you know it's level five?" Zhou Zixi was puzzled. Now all bases did not clearly classify the evolution levels of zombies. It was difficult to tell the level of evolution with the naked eye. If she had fought with zombies, she should not have been unscathed. But he heard that she was injured before because she encountered a group of vicious criminals.
Lu Ming was anxious. "Don't worry about this kind of problem now. That one must be level five. If it's here, what can you do?"
When Gu Chao heard her say that she had gone out to look for zombies, he was filled with anger. He clenched his fists tightly, suppressed his anger, and said coldly: "We have killed countless zombies by crossing levels before. There must be a way this time. If this is the only problem, then there is no need to talk about it anymore!"
Lu Ming was anxious and said without thinking: "This one is different. It's very powerful. One of you will die!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Did they hear it right?
Gu Chao said in a deep voice: "What do you know?"
Lu Ming didn't know how to explain it. She couldn't just say that she knew from the plot that some of them would die in this zombie wave, right?!
Gu Chao looked at her coldly as she struggled and hesitated to explain herself. He laughed at himself, his face cold and indifferent, "Huh? Can't explain it? Then don't bother with me. If you want to leave, please leave as soon as possible!"
The others were shocked when they heard this, holding their breath and wondering, what is the captain talking about?!
Lu Ming suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him in disbelief, his lips opening and closing, unable to speak.
She asked softly, "Are you chasing me away?"
Gu Chao looked directly into her eyes, which showed shock and hurt. His heart was filled with turmoil, but his face remained indifferent. "Don't you want to leave? I'm just fulfilling your wish. Anyway, whether we leave or stay is none of your business."
What do you mean it’s none of her business?
How could he say such a thing?!
