It was a swift and decisive battle; in less than two minutes, Jin Shu and his gang had all surrendered.
In fact, the moment Lu Yuan announced that he would relinquish his power and put Jin Shu to death, his subordinates had already begun to consider leaving.
The moment Lu Yuan gave the order, everyone held onto the same hope: to survive as long as possible.
After the battlefield was cleaned up, the area that originally belonged to Jin Shu was now deserted, and the outer areas were heavily guarded.
More than a hundred miles east of Qingshui City, in an open area, a large group of people stood scattered on the ground, some crying, some regretting, and some in despair.
Almost everyone kept shouting that they wanted to go back, but the soldiers coldly held their guns and drove the column forward.
"We were also misled by Jin Shu into joining his organization. Please give us another chance."
"Yes, we're all just working people down here. We had no idea they were lying to us."
"We don't want to leave the camp. How will we survive if we leave? Please give us another chance, okay?"
"How could Mr. Lu be so heartless? We have over a million people here now."
"Please give us another chance. We promise to obey Mr. Lu's orders. Please don't let us leave, okay?"
However, no matter how much they shouted, the soldiers resolutely carried out the order.
It was precisely because these people lacked resolve that this tragedy occurred during the response.
More than a thousand military and police personnel have died in this pointless infighting.
The soldiers absolutely hated Jin Shu and wished they could chop the guy who started the internal strife into mincemeat.
"Stop your fucking nonsense! Get out of here! You want freedom? Now we've given you your freedom! Go find your freedom! And don't ever come back to this place again!"
After saying that, the soldiers unloaded the cement and bricks that the trucks had brought over and began to lay out a defensive line to prevent these people from sneaking in.
Meanwhile, in the camp in Qingshui City, everyone was spontaneously organizing a march demanding that Lu Yuan regain power after his sudden resignation.
Standing at the gate, Lu Yuan looked at the human rights officers who had already surrounded his small courtyard in the distance, and sighed helplessly.
"I don't know if what I did this time was right, but at least it was right for my family!"
Then, Lu Yuan returned to the living room, where the whole family looked at him with worried expressions.
"Ahem! Why are you all staring at me?"
Mr. Lu sighed, reached out to touch the cigarette pack, but then put his hand down.
"Xiao Yuan, are you really determined to give up all your power this time?"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Yes! I mentioned this a long time ago! But at that time, there were still many things to deal with! But now, the land in the dimensional space is basically disappearing! So, I think it's time for me to take a good rest! At least I can spend some quality time with Xiao Shan and Qi Qi!"
Mr. Lu nodded and didn't say anything more.
Xiao Shan's parents exchanged a glance and then said, "Lu Yuan, were you also pressured by Jin Shu back then? It's okay, I know you probably felt embarrassed to go back on your word! It's really nothing! Everyone supports you! If you want, it's just a matter of backing down! Nobody will say anything!"
Xiao Shan's mother nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes! You're still young, and with this title, you can even get a good family for your child after the apocalypse ends! There's really no need to give up your rights! So many people are looking forward to you!"
Hearing their words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
He knew that Xiaoshan's parents had been influenced by others these past few days, which was why they came to persuade him.
However, Lu Yuan had no desire to continue holding any official position. He felt that the past two days had been quite pleasant.
There are no heavy documents waiting for my approval, nor are there various matters waiting for my decision-making.
There were no countless people who wanted to harm him, and Lu Yuan had been sleeping exceptionally well these past two days.
Especially when he was with his daughter, Lu Yuan finally understood that without other distractions, he could relax and play with her.
After sighing, Lu Yuan looked at the old man and his grandmother and asked.
"Grandpa and Grandma, what do you think?"
The old man waved his hand: "Xiao Yuan! You're an adult now! You should be able to make your own judgments! I believe that even if you don't take any official position, you can still provide Qi Qi with a good life!"
Grandma looked at Lu Yuan with a kind and gentle expression: "Yes! Xiao Yuan, there's no need to care what others think. Just make your own decision! If you're tired, then take a good rest! You've had enough over the years! This time, just treat it as a long vacation for yourself!"
Lu Yuan immediately broke into a smile: "Okay! Then I'll treat this as a long vacation for myself! I won't worry about it anymore!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's decision, the entire family nodded in agreement.
However, Lu Yuan caught a hint of helplessness in the eyes of Xiao Shan's parents.
Even in the evening, the crowd outside had not dispersed, and there were even more people. Fortunately, these people were very rational. They did not make a fuss or argue, but just stood quietly waiting outside Lu Yuan's house.
