The crowd watched as panicked expressions appeared on Guo Jialiang's face; they never expected anyone to propose such a dangerous idea.
Then a commotion began to rise in the crowd. Some people were willing to follow Guo Jialiang to salvage the supplies, since they could share them with him.
But they were worried that they might lose their lives in this superstorm.
Another group chose to remain silent, wanting to see what choices others would make.
This type of person is the most numerous because they are used to following the crowd. So, if most people agree, they will probably choose to follow Guo Jialiang to rescue supplies.
Of course, there are also many people who oppose Guo Jialiang. After all, if the crowd really goes with them to salvage the supplies, and if they actually get the supplies, they will feel very resentful if they just watch them divide them up.
These people are basically parasites; they don't want to see others doing better than themselves, but they are unwilling to do anything themselves. In the end times, these people are basically opportunists.
Soon enough, someone will stand up and oppose Guo Jialiang.
"Don't listen to his instigation. This guy is a spy sent by the core fortress. He's trying to persuade us. We can't listen to him. If we try to salvage the supplies ourselves, we'll have even less chance of getting into the core castle."
"Yes, this guy is incredibly cunning. Don't fall for his tricks. He just wants to watch us die little by little so he can share the food with us. Don't forget that the superstorms outside have reached level twelve, and their intensity will continue to increase over time. Don't be naive, we can't get these supplies back. Think about how many people died in this superstorm before. Do you think you're a match for these superstorms?"
"Don't believe him. Guo Jialiang is a traitor sent by the core leadership to sow discord among us."
"..."
Encouraged by these people, those who had already made up their minds to follow Guo Jialiang to salvage the supplies suddenly didn't know what to do.
They stood there, looking at each other, then at those who had stood up to oppose him.
For a moment, they were undecided whether or not to go with Guo Jialiang.
However, the air quality in the underground tunnels is getting worse and worse, and people have started to die.
If people continue to stay there, the death toll will rise sharply. In such a gathering place, if people's bodies are not disposed of in time, infectious diseases may easily spread.
In such densely populated places, if an infectious disease were to break out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Guo Jialiang gritted his teeth in hatred and immediately shouted loudly at the crowd.
"Alright, if you choose to continue to wait and see, then you can continue to wait and see. One person can come with me, and we'll take care of the fortress ourselves. Then we'll seal it off and let these people wait to die."
After saying that, Guo Jialiang waved his hand and shouted again.
"Those who are willing to come with me can leave now. Those who are not willing to leave can stay here and continue to observe, and see if the core members will give you a chance."
After saying that, Guo Jialiang ignored everyone and led several hundred people out of the tunnel, heading towards the destroyed fortress.
Although Guo Jialiang and his men had been expelled from the fortress, Chen Zhongzheng was still somewhat worried that they might cause him trouble later.
His current rule is not very stable, and now that the super storm is coming, he has to deal with some things in the fortress.
Especially since he was worried that if these refugees outside might cause him any more trouble, it would be a huge loss. So he immediately sent people to keep an eye on them.
The spies sent out quickly brought back the news.
"Commander Chen, we received some information outside the fortress; it seems there are some disagreements within their ranks."
Some people chose to go with Guo Jialiang to salvage food and supplies from the destroyed fortress, while others remained in place to observe.
However, some dangerous elements seem to be planning to attack our fortress. Should we stop them immediately?
After listening, Chen Zhongzheng immediately nodded: "Of course, now if anyone is found to pose a danger to the safety of the fortress, shoot them dead immediately, and leave no hidden dangers."
Then Chen Zhongzheng continued to ask, "Are you sure Guo Jialiang has already led his men there?"
"Yes, Commander Chen, Guo Jialiang has led nearly five hundred men to the nearest fortress to salvage supplies and food, and more and more people have joined him. It seems they have indeed listened to what you said."
After hearing this, Chen Zhongzheng breathed a sigh of relief. Although his previous words were said in anger, they were also what he truly felt.
He was unwilling to start killing these people, after all, it wasn't just one or two people, or even three or five, but millions of people.
He wasn't like those ancient generals who would kill enemies without hesitation. After all, this was the apocalypse, and he couldn't just stand by and watch these people go to their deaths.
However, it was almost impossible to lend a helping hand. So, although his previous words contained some of his own negative emotions, he still wanted to remind them and offer some suggestions for self-help.
