The other party kept repeating his words over and over again through a loudspeaker.
Meanwhile, the people in the East District had also heard Huang Feng's voices, and they hesitated as they discussed how to deal with these people.
"We can't just sit here and wait to die. If Lu Yuan and the others are attacked, our fate won't be any better."
"No, it's too reckless to go out like this. They outnumber us and we're no match for them. Besides, it's freezing outside. Let's wait and see how long they can hold out against us."
"But there are so many of them, and the ice will melt sooner or later. Then we'll be facing more than a thousand people. Besides, Baldy knows some specific details about our camp. If he's really released, we'll be in big trouble."
"..."
One by one, the management members expressed their opinions, which were quite divided, so they were unable to reach a final decision for a while.
Finally, a few people stared coldly at those who had said they would protect themselves.
"Fine, if you don't want to go, we'll go ourselves. Our camp owes a lot to Lu Yuan and the others. Without Lu Yuan, we wouldn't be alive today."
Just as everyone was discussing, Huang Feng took a megaphone and continued shouting outside.
"Listen up, everyone in the East District. Our main force is about to melt the ice. I advise you all to stay home and wait. All the exits here have been sealed off. Unless you want to climb over that mountain above you, you're just waiting to die."
"There are still fifteen minutes left. I'm giving you a chance now. If you want to surrender and join us, come out and see for yourselves. Otherwise, you'll be buried alive with Lu Yuan and go to hell with him."
Upon hearing this, those who had wanted to go out and confront them immediately stopped in their tracks, and the main gate of the East District fell silent.
It's only been two months since the glacier struck. Has everyone become so indifferent?
With a "crack," the bowl in Lu Ma's hand accidentally fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Her shoulders trembled slightly, unsure of what to do. They had weathered so many storms, but she never imagined that humanity would become the greatest disaster they faced next, a prospect that was truly hard for her to accept.
"That damn bastard, how could he treat us like this? We gave him so much food, and now he turns around and bites us. He's not even human."
Lu Yuan gently stepped forward, put his arm around his mother, and patted her shoulder.
"Mom, it's okay. Those bastards are going to die sooner or later. I won't let my family get hurt in the slightest. Trust me."
Grandma sighed and came over, placing some cotton-padded clothes in front of her.
“Children, you run first. This mountain is so big. If they want to catch up, you can run out under the cover of night and they won’t find you. The old man and I will stay here and guard the place. I believe they won’t be able to break down the gate here anytime soon.”
Upon hearing the old lady's words, Mr. Lu's face immediately showed a hint of anger.
"Mom, what are you saying? Don't you know? The mountain behind us is over a thousand meters high, and the mountain path is extremely steep. It's impossible to get over it. Besides, how could we leave you here if we're going to leave? No, absolutely not."
Grandpa's hand trembled slightly as he held the crossbow.
"Sigh, even now, these people in the East District haven't made a single move. They've raised some ungrateful wretches. You all should leave now. My wife and I will stay here and guard this place. It's worth it to exchange our lives for the lives of so many of you! I've never done anything great in my life, but let us do something for you today."
However, Xiaoshan's father walked over, looking at everyone with a resolute expression.
"Uncle, Aunt, what you're saying isn't right. We're a family. We need to unite. There are only so many of us. If we work together, can't we handle these scumbags? They're just taking advantage of our numbers to bully us. I believe we've already exhausted their strength and stamina. Once they break through all the ice, they'll be practically defenseless. We can then wait for them to tire themselves out and drive them away."
"Yes, we're not pushovers either. We'll definitely be able to hold them off here."
A look of certainty at death immediately appeared in everyone's eyes. No one hesitated to retreat anymore. Grandpa and Grandma shook their heads and sighed, but the resolute look in their eyes was gone.
Lu Yuan climbed up the observation post again and looked out.
The people on the other side were still breaking the ice. Although they had salt, it wasn't very fast to melt the ice with it. Moreover, the cold wind outside was still howling, and people kept falling to the ground, only to be pushed forward by those behind them.
Lu Yuan's lips curled up slightly. He knew that if they continued to sit and wait for orders, they would definitely not be able to escape. Now, the only option was to take the initiative and strike when they were at their weakest.
Having not fought in a long time, Lu Yuan suddenly felt his blood boiling again. He ran to his room and took out a large number of crossbows and bolts from his dimensional space. He had prepared these things for a long time in order to prevent them from being without weapons when the ammunition ran out.
