Commander Zhang became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice grew louder and louder.
More and more people from the community are gathering at the entrance.
"Fellow villagers, the government has been conducting search and rescue operations. We found you yesterday and came here today. We are so glad you are alive and welcome you back to the embrace of our country."
"We will provide you with protection, maintain order, and return to the days before."
...
Although most of the zombies had gone with the zombie horde, some zombies were still around and gathered around as Commander Zhang spoke.
But they didn't rush to eliminate them. Instead, they waited for them to get closer. Commander Zhang continued his impassioned speech until the zombies were even closer. Only then did they shoot them in the head with one shot each, demonstrating their formidable strength.
With this move, Commander Zhang Zilong spoke even more enthusiastically, "Join us, it will be the best choice for you."
He swayed the crowd, making them feel that going to the ambulance was the best option. Some even boldly asked, "Can we all go to the ambulance?"
"Of course," Zhang Zilong readily agreed.
"When can we go?" a young girl asked.
“As long as your leader agrees, it can be done anytime.” Zhang Zilong emphasized the word “leader”.
After saying that, he gave Ye Yunyi and the others a malicious look.
Liu Yanran was initially a little scared, but at this moment she suddenly became excited.
How could Ye Yunyi's prestige possibly surpass that of the government or the military region? She naturally knew the true state of the ambulance, but the people inside did not.
It's all Ye Yunyi's fault for protecting them too well. They only knew how terrifying zombies were and that there would be bad people, but how could they have known that the C City government was no longer the same as before?
But what was she afraid of? She was all alone, and she would be better off anywhere than by Ye Yunyi's side.
So she gracefully walked to Zhang Zilong's side and said in what she thought was the softest, most pitiful, and most beautiful voice, "Commander Zhang, it's so good that you've come. May I go back with you?"
Zhang Zilong glanced at Liu Yanran. Her skin was fair, and although there were traces of time in her eyes and brows, she was even more charming. Her tight-fitting cheongsam outlined her curvaceous figure with a slender waist, and her large wavy hair was draped around her waist. She looked at him with a pair of watery eyes.
Even though he had seen all kinds of beautiful women, including popular celebrities, Liu Yanran still piqued his interest at this moment.
But Liu Yanran's statement at this moment helped him a lot. She was the first person to surrender, a pioneer. With the first one, he wasn't afraid that others wouldn't follow.
“Of course, of course. Then come back with us today,” Zhang Zilong said warmly.
"Can we?" A few more women stepped out from the crowd. They were Xiaofeng's group. They were all prostitutes. It didn't matter where they were. The people here were poor, and the treatment here was not as good as Liu Da's. She had long wanted to leave.
Zhang Zilong was even happier. This group of beauties, some slender and some plump, each had their own charm, and most importantly, they were well-trained. He could take them all with him.
"Of course, you're welcome," Zhang Zilong said. If he didn't have to maintain his air of authority as a commander, he probably would have opened his arms wide.
Soon, about nine women joined Liu Yanran and stood beside Zhang Zilong. These women, dressed in exquisite cheongsams, stood gracefully beside an officer. Their figures were elegant, and the vibrant colors of their cheongsams were eye-catching. Zhang Zilong, in his crisp military uniform, looked dashing and proud, a smug smile on his face. Behind him was a row of sleek cars, their bodies gleaming with metallic sheen. Beside them stood a group of soldiers, armed and standing in perfect formation, their posture upright and their faces serious. The weapons in their hands gleamed coldly in the sunlight, giving off a strong sense of security.
The scene was so striking that Ye Yunyi couldn't help but marvel at its beauty.
Ye Yunyi knew that this time, she would have to make everyone fight against the difficulties of rescue. Fortunately, she was not a saint and could not sacrifice herself to wake others. After all, it was her own choice, and she would bear the consequences herself.
So she just watched and let them choose for themselves.
The scene might have had an impact on those inside as well; what young girl doesn't dream of love? Several more girls walked out of the door and approached Zhang Zilong. Then came several young men, who were also accepted.
When several elderly people came out, Zhang Zilong said, "Everyone, we only brought a few cars today. We'll take some people back first, and we'll come back to pick you up another day."
"By the way, Ms. Ye, how would you choose?" Zhang Zilong, satisfied, then threw the question back to Ye Yunyi.
"Commander Zhang, we'd be happy to have shelter and a good place to go. We'll wait for you to come and pick us up," Ye Yunyi said with a smile.
"Indeed, a wise man submits to circumstances. Everyone, get ready, we'll come to pick you up tomorrow." Zhang Zilong said sanctimoniously, waved to everyone, and left with the girls and boys.
Watching the car drive away, Ye Yunyi, Zhao Yong, and Wang Zixiang walked into the city wall and were immediately surrounded by a group of people.
"President Ye, are they really coming to pick us up tomorrow?"
"Are we really going to the ambulance?"
"I don't want to leave here."
"Are ambulances really like that?"
...
All sorts of questions were raised.
Ye Yunyi did not answer each question individually, but simply said, "You are all free to choose whether or not to go to the aid station. Think it over carefully."
After saying that, the three of them called Xiaofang and Xiaodeng back home to hold an emergency meeting.
Xiaofang had originally issued an emergency evacuation notice, but after Zhang Zilong's performance at the entrance, everyone thought it was a false alarm and didn't take it to heart. They were happily discussing in the group whether or not to go to the ambulance.
At home, Ye Yunjuan had returned from school and had helped her family pack some things.
"Sister, how are you?" Ye Yunjuan asked with concern.
"Let's go, pack our things. We'll leave tonight with Mom and Dad, and go..."
Thinking about where to go, Ye Yunyi hesitated. They knew all the villages, so where could they escape to? Wangjiagou, where Liu Da and Liu Er lived, or should they find a nearby village or town?
Or they could go back to Yejiacun, but Yejiacun is too far away from here, even farther than Wangjiagou. Because of its remoteness and poverty, they haven't been home for more than 10 years, and their houses haven't been repaired. They don't know what to do if they go back.
Everyone waited for Ye Yunyi's decision on where to go. Ye Yunyi looked at the people in the courtyard, and finally let out a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go to Wangjiagou first. Then we'll see how things go."
