Chapter 716 The Journey Begins
Pu Weichao said, "It doesn't mean anything, I just think that the complete neutrality you mentioned is impossible."
Liu Jiang said, "I'm maintaining a neutral stance right now, not interfering in either side's affairs. You think I can't do that?"
Pu Weichao smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. The reason you're able to remain neutral isn't because you want to, but simply because you're afraid."
Liu Jiang's lips twitched. "I'm scared? Humph, if I were scared, I would have left here long ago. Why would I stay in Binhai?"
Pu Weichao stared at him and said, "If you're not afraid, why don't you take action and destroy that large community? I think they started encroaching on other people around them as soon as that large community existed, right? What they want is to swallow all the resources, not to share them. Am I right?"
Liu Jiang remained silent, which clearly implied that he had tacitly agreed to this.
"If that's the case, then something else must have happened back then." Pu Weichao stared intently at Liu Jiang. "Back when those scattered small teams of the third party hadn't yet united, some of them must have come to you for help, right? But at that time, you took that opportunity to announce your army's neutrality to everyone in Binhai, right?"
Liu Jiang frowned. "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Pu Weichao said, "What I want to say is very simple. When Yu Sheng told me about you before, he said that you are someone who only kills zombies and not humans. At the time, I thought your spirit was very admirable and I admired you. After all, there aren't many people who can maintain this kind of thinking nowadays. But now that I think about it carefully, it seems that you are doing this just to make yourself live better."
Liu Jiang's expression at that moment was quite interesting.
"You say you're neutral, but I suspect you just don't want to offend anyone or get hurt, not that you genuinely want to be neutral. You keep saying it's for humanity, yet you turn away people when they come to you for help. Do you think that's appropriate? Or have you always thought this way?"
Pu Weichao's words were very blunt. I could see that Liu Jiang was on the verge of exploding with anger. If he really exploded, we would probably be kicked out too.
I really don't understand why Pu Weichao wanted to provoke him. Since we're here seeking cooperation, why make the other party angry? Isn't that counterproductive?
Liu Jiang sat back down on the stool and shouted angrily, "Get out! All of you, get out!"
Pu Weichao raised an eyebrow and walked straight to the door. The three of us followed him and left the house.
However, before closing the door, Pu Weichao said one last thing to Liu Jiang inside the room: "I don't know if you truly want to save humanity. I can only tell you that what we need to do is save everyone. Only through unity can everyone understand that this world can still be saved. If things continue as they are, with each survival team scattered, you should understand how many deaths will occur in the future. I've said everything I need to say. The choice is yours. I'll wait for you outside for half an hour. If you don't come out after half an hour, I hope you can remain neutral and not interfere in my affairs."
Afterwards, we left the house, left the neighborhood committee office, and returned to our car outside to wait.
I asked, "Pu Weichao, were you deliberately provoking him just now?"
Pu Weichao said, "Well, I guess so."
I'm a bit conflicted. "What if the other person gets upset? What if they really don't show up?"
Pu Weichao looked at me and said, "It doesn't matter if he doesn't come out. If he really doesn't come out, it means he has given up on his future. He just wants to live a life of mediocrity, like a walking corpse. What would I do with such an army? It would be better to have Yu Jin bring over a batch of zombies. That would be easier to operate."
I have nothing to say in response to what he said.
Indeed, for an army that has no conviction and only wants to get by, they are no longer of any use. Even if they were sent to the battlefield, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat their opponents, and they might even be the ones who die.
I don't know much about the military.
At this moment, Yu Sheng said, "Yes, if Captain Liu really wants to remain neutral, they have indeed lost the characteristics of an army."
I didn't know what to say, so I just shut my mouth like Yu Jin and waited here patiently.
According to Pu Weichao's assumption, the other party should figure it out within half an hour, and then rush out of the house to tell us that he is willing to help.
Unfortunately, we waited for ten minutes, but he didn't come out.
By the twentieth minute, Liu Jiang still hadn't come out.
We thought they would come out to see us in the next ten minutes, but we were too optimistic; what was expected didn't happen.
Thirty minutes later, Pu Weichao said, "Let's go."
"Where to?" Yu Sheng asked, his voice tinged with disappointment.
I glanced at the place, at the two guards at the gate, and at the soldiers inside, but I didn't think much of it.
Pu Weichao said, "Let's find a place anywhere, and then have your people withdraw from here. If the other side doesn't agree, then there's no need for us to stay here. We should go do what we're supposed to do."
"Okay." After saying that, Yu Sheng stepped on the gas and drove away from this place. As for the destination, he didn't know where it was.
After driving for about an hour, we arrived at a relatively safe science museum.
Yu Sheng said, "This is a place I temporarily stayed when I came here last time. It's quite safe here, and there are no zombies. We can stay here."
"Okay, and have your people come over too."
Yu Sheng said, "I already told them, they should be on their way now."
Pu Weichao said to Yu Jin, who was standing there in a daze, "Yu Jin."
Yu Jin was taken aback. "What's wrong?"
"Now it's up to you. Without anyone else's help, you'll have to gather an army of zombies. The more the better. Half a month should be enough, right?"
Yu Jin nodded and said, "That should be enough. As long as no one interferes with me, there shouldn't be any problems."
"That's good. You can set off now. Remember, you have to come back every two days. I need to make sure you're safe. If you come back late, we'll come looking for you."
"Okay, I understand," Yu Jin nodded and said.
