Zombie Apocalypse - Chapter 57
Chapter 0057 The Choice Of Fate
Chen Chuhe was obviously accustomed to seeing such a scene. He was standing in the middle of the stage, his aura calm, and he wasn’t nervous.
After clearing his throat, Chen Chuhe said,
“Hello, everyone!
I am the City Lord of Fate City, Chen Chuhe!
I believe many of us here know about me, but we haven’t seen each other before!
Today, all the soldiers and civilians of Destiny City were gathered here. There was an important matter to announce to everyone!
Before that, I would like to introduce someone to everyone. ”
He turned around and smiled at Qin An.
Qin An reluctantly walked slowly to Chen Chuhe’s side.
Below the stage, those who were close could still see what Qin An looked like. Those who were far away could only talk about it, not knowing who this person was.
Chen Chuhe continued, “This person is called Qin An! His gathering place is on the other side of the Nine Dragons Mountain Range. He is not far from us in a straight line. After crossing a large mountain, it will probably take him three to four days to reach it!”
Why should I introduce Qin An to everyone? Because now, you will be faced with a choice!
First of all, it’s our Pentagon insiders.
From today onwards, the Pentagon will be in a semi-closed state. In other words, only entrance is allowed and no exit is allowed! We will create the most stable and lasting environment. I hope you can understand. If you are not sure that you can stay in the Pentagon for the rest of your lives without going out, then I hope you can choose to leave. This is a great thing for you and those who are willing to stay in the Pentagon!
So what if we leave and go there? This is the purpose of my introduction to Qin An.
His gathering place will very much welcome everyone. That place is also relatively safe. I believe that our inner members have more or less heard of Qin An’s deeds after what happened yesterday. He is an expert who can independently kill mutated zombies!
Then, you young soldiers, if you wish to fight in this apocalyptic world and realize your value, I will not stop you!
“I also promise you that if you follow Qin An, you will completely walk out of the sky that belongs to you!”
Chen Chuhe’s voice was loud and clear, and every word was ear-splitting. Qin An, who was beside him, was so shaken that his ears hurt.
At the same time, he also admired Chen Chuhe’s ability to speak. Why would he follow him out of the sky that belongs to you?
Qin An really wanted to laugh, his sky was covered in dark clouds!
However, Qin An could not say anything, because he had already promised Chen Chuhe yesterday.
Below, the insiders of the Pentagon, that is, three thousand soldiers, five hundred construction workers, and five hundred family members, began whispering to each other and discussing in a low voice.
Chen Chuhe’s decision had obviously given them a huge shock.
Do you want to stay in the Pentagon until you die, or do you want to follow a stranger into a new life?
They were completely confused.
Qin An looked at the insiders of the Pentagon below the stage and felt a little disdain for Chen Chuhe!
Chen Chuhe trusted the Pentagon too much. Qin An felt that there would never be a pure land in the apocalypse! Moreover, seclusion could only lead to extinction, as history had long proven!
Seeing the crowd downstairs discussing louder and louder, Chen Chuhe said, “Alright! The discussion is over now. I need you to make a choice. Those who are willing to stay can return to the Pentagon directly. Those who are willing to leave can walk to the open space over there!”
The discussion within the Pentagon became even louder, and everyone fell into confusion in the face of the sudden multiple-choice questions.
As soon as Chen Chuhe finished speaking, a person flew out from the inner circle. He was Chen Chuhe’s personal guard, Fang Lei!
Fang Lei’s speed was too fast. He was like an athlete sprinting a hundred meters. Just as Chen Chuhe gave the order, he immediately ran out and rushed to the finish line with lightning speed.
He lowered his head awkwardly when he realized that he was the only one standing on the open ground.
Immediately after, a few more people walked out of the square formation and arrived at Fang Lei’s side. They were the people who saw Qin An fight against the D2 Jumping Corpse King at the staircase yesterday!
As soldiers, they loved to fight and worship martial power.
They were completely convinced by Qin An’s martial power.
Gradually, a large number of people from the camp rushed to the open space. Some of them had heard about Qin An’s deeds, some were unable to adapt to the life of the Pentagon waiting for death, and some were eager to travel to the heavens to find a lover of their own!
Their reasons were different. The only thing they had in common was that they had all made choices!
Gradually, apart from the soldiers, the earliest construction workers also began to walk towards the open space!
Before the apocalypse, they were the most ordinary people in society. They were doing the hardest and most tiring work, but they could not enjoy a good life. They had fantasized that they could have a second life and choose a new life.
After the apocalypse, they were trapped in their own buildings, idle all day, making this group of ordinary laborers feel that their lives had lost all meaning! If life is meaningless, then what are you doing alive? In the end, they chose to go out!
Twenty minutes later, the camp of the insiders made their choice.
He roughly counted the number of people.
About two thousand soldiers and nearly three hundred construction workers chose to leave.
This amount surprised Qin An!
Qin An originally thought that to the people of the apocalypse, living should be the most important thing.
Who would have thought that these people would be willing to leave the safe Pentagon to face life and death and the unknown outside? This was too hard to understand.
Actually, Qin An’s thoughts weren’t right, because most of these people hadn’t faced much life and death. They came here shortly after the outbreak of the T virus, and they hadn’t left this place for more than a year. They still didn’t understand this world!
Chen Chuhe took a look and nodded slightly. This was exactly what he had expected. Next, he began to ask the outsiders from Fate City.
Similarly, who would be willing to leave with Qin An?
The outsiders’ discussions were even more intense than the insiders’.
Most of them were people who had truly experienced the apocalypse.
They had seen women being ruthlessly toyed with, they had seen people eating their own children because of hunger, they had seen fathers and sons killing each other just to avoid the pursuit of zombies, they were more realistic, more eager for safety.
Finally, after Chen Chuhe gave the order to choose, everyone’s discussion became quiet. They were waiting to see who was willing to leave.
Not long after, the first person to choose to walk into the open space was actually Lu Haichuan!
Lu Haichuan’s prestige in the hearts of outsiders was even stronger than Chen Chuhe’s.
As soon as he walked over, some members of the Material Search Squad immediately followed him.
Then there were some women. The reason why they went was because the man they were in love with was already there. They had no choice.
Just like that, another twenty minutes passed.
More than 2,600 people stood on the open space.
In this way, when added together, nearly 5,000 people chose to leave, which was exactly half of Destiny City!
Everyone’s hearts were not calm!
The people of Destiny City finally made a choice that carried their destiny. After choosing, they would walk a different path, and no one could tell what was waiting for them to fall to the ground.
Chen Chuhe was very relaxed. He smiled at Qin An and said, “Brother, come over and talk to your people. Their future fate will be in your hands!”
Qin An trembled as he walked to the center of the stage. There was a microphone. This microphone was connected to dozens of loudspeakers. It could spread his voice so that most people could hear his words.
This microphone was obviously self-made. Qin An did not know its principle. Perhaps it was similar to the Earth Telephone that he had learned in textbooks when he was a child.
Qin An tried his best to calm himself down, then turned to the camp of five thousand people and slowly said, “My name is Qin An! In order to be responsible to you, I think I must tell you the truth about my situation!”
“First of all, it’s my gathering place. It’s a fairly large prison. It’s ten meters tall and smaller than Fate City. There’s no such safe building as the Pentagon inside. If you insist on saying that there are, then it’s only those prisons that used to hold prisoners!”
As soon as Qin An finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from the five thousand people in the camp. Qin An gave them a very friendly feeling, completely unlike Chen Chuhe, who was arrogant and lofty.
Qin An also smiled and relaxed. He did not feel so nervous anymore. He continued, “There are actually not many people in my camp. There are only twenty people in my camp, including a woman and a ten-year-old boy.” These players were not soldiers, nor did they have very powerful abilities. Before the end of the world, they were the most ordinary people. Some were teachers, some were supermarket managers, some were students from sports schools. In short, they were truly ordinary people!
I still have hundreds of outsiders there. They just arrived when I left the camp! I haven’t figured them out yet, so they can’t be considered my insiders!
In other words, I don’t have any crew, the only thing I have is a camp!
If you follow me, I will do my best to keep you alive and live a better life, and you will become the people I trust the most!
However, if you follow me, you must listen to me and let me be your boss! ”
The camp was in a commotion. Who would have thought that Qin An would actually be a bald commander! Then why should they accept him as their boss and listen to his orders in the future?
Qin An blushed when he saw the reaction of the people below the stage. He shouted, “Fang Lei!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Lei rushed out of the 5,000 strong camp and shouted loudly, “Boss! What instructions do you have?”
Many of the soldiers in the camp were stunned. Fang Lei knew everyone. That was Chen Chuhe’s personal soldier. Moreover, his combat strength was extremely strong. I heard that he had studied martial arts in Shaolin Temple for a few years. Why would he call Qin An boss? This was truly puzzling!
Qin An said, “Come on up!”
Fang Lei trotted onto the wooden platform and stood behind Qin An.
Qin An said, “Tell everyone, why should I let everyone recognize me as their boss?”
Actually, Qin An had no other choice. He didn’t know what to say at this moment. He could only make this decision and see if Fang Lei, who had seen his true strength, could help him endure the situation.
Fang Lei stood in front of the microphone and said in a loud voice, “Everyone should know me. My name is Fang Lei! I used to be Chen Guan’s personal guard! I was always responsible for protecting the Guild Leader’s safety, but the Guild Leader is already very safe in the Pentagon. There is no need for me to protect him!”
So I chose to leave and follow Boss Qin to see what the apocalypse looked like!
You may not know why I, Fang Lei, am so willing to follow Boss Qin!
That’s because I’ve seen his strength!
I believe we’ve heard more or less about what happened last night in the Pentagon.
However, none of you saw it with your own eyes!
As for me, I saw Boss Qin with my own eyes. Using a long saber, I chopped down a D2-ranked Mutated Leaping Corpse King and cut off its head. It didn’t take much effort!
Everyone knows that the D2-level Mutated Leaping Corpse King killed more than a hundred of us on the 15th floor in the blink of an eye. Among them, there are more than 70 fully equipped warriors!
Its speed was so fast that it shuttled through the corridor like a ghost!
But in front of my Boss Qin, in just one meeting, my Boss Qin wielded a saber in one hand and annihilated him!
Let me tell you, Boss Qin is an ancient martial arts descendant hidden in modern society! He knew light arts and internal arts. He could fly on grass and water, and take the enemy from among the army. He didn’t even blink an eye when he was at the head level! ‘”…”
Qin An heard his face turn white and red from behind, so he hurriedly came up to stop Fang Lei from continuing!
He was a little dumbfounded!
Holy shit!
This brat was just right to tell the story. He would later describe himself as the Great Sage of the Heavens, Sun Wukong!
Fang Lei was stopped by Qin An and immediately gave a military salute. After that, he bowed at a 90 degree angle, knelt down on one knee and punched with both hands. His humble appearance made the five thousand people in the square array completely stupid!
