Seeing the expressions of the people below, Bao Lingmin's heart suddenly sank. What he said just now was just a test, he didn't care who was right or wrong, he only knew one thing, at the critical moment of the decisive battle with the zombies, if someone stabbed him in the back and affected the decisive battle with the zombies, then that person would be his biggest enemy.
The people around him let him know that the people below him would not be on the same side as him. If they really reached the other side, they might really surrender. At that time, it would be difficult to deal with them. Bao Lingmin frowned and glanced at the people around him. Finally, his eyes stopped on Zuo Tie's face. Zuo Tie, who should be the happiest, was not as excited as he imagined.
Bao Lingmin's heart moved. Looking at it this way, it seemed that Zuo Tie, who had always been disgusted with the military, had some ideas. Perhaps, Zuo Tie was not as vulgar as he appeared to be.
"I think it's best if we don't help either side. That way, no matter who wins, we can sleep peacefully..."
Before Bao Lingmin could speak, another person next to him spoke. At the same time, this person's idea was also supported by many people. For them, after going up, no matter what happened in the future, they had to fight with real swords and guns first. As long as they were on the battlefield, no one knew if they could survive until the end of the matter. So, it was better to stay here and find a chance to escape.
"This, I think we should help the military. We don't know what the situation is like in the front, but we haven't moved. This means that the military still has the upper hand. Look at that group of people, many of them are shooting for the first time. Look at them, they are shooting at the sky. I don't think it's reliable to follow them. Besides, aren't we envious of Brother Bao?
Maybe this time, we can also change our identities... "
In the face of a life and death situation, Zuo Tie changed his character and became quite conservative. Most people despised him and thought that he was cheap.
"It's useless to say anything. Let's take one step at a time. Move, let's see how the situation turns out..."
As the group of prisoners began to move, Bao Lingmin secretly handed something to Zuo Tie and looked at him meaningfully. Zuo Tie felt his hand sink and immediately knew what it was. He glanced at the empty holster on Bao Lingmin's waist and nodded heavily. He understood what Bao Lingmin meant.
When the battle on the periphery was the most intense, the garrison troops finally couldn't hold on anymore. They transferred the troops guarding the other half of the death row camp to the main battlefield, leaving the death row camp empty.
Bao Lingmin immediately took action. He led a hundred of his subordinates and rushed over to cut down the barbed wire. Bao Lingmin's action made the surrounding death row prisoners excited. Finally, someone took the lead and immediately chased after Bao Lingmin. The two burly men who wanted to rob Bao Lingmin and were pinched unconscious were the most enthusiastic. They led their group and closely followed the tail of Bao Lingmin's company. They looked like an army.
After rushing through the barbed wire, Bao Lingmin shouted, "Go and find a gun..."
After he finished shouting, he took off his military uniform and led a few hundred people to take a detour towards the attacking forces' armed forces. When the prisoners who ran out from behind saw that someone was taking the lead, they also followed closely behind. More than 1,800 people gathered into a big group and rushed over together …
Unexpectedly, the riot of the death seekers group made the other side stop their attack and began to retreat slowly. At the same time, the other side was still building a defensive position facing the death row prisoners. This made the death row prisoners who rushed over feel like their hearts were in their throats.
If they had a choice, none of these death row prisoners would be willing to rush over there. However, after struggling in the apocalypse, they knew that if there were no supplies or supplies, it would be difficult for them to escape death if they fell outside. After all, they had seen a huge battle formation of more than 100,000 zombies. They also heard that the army had fought with millions of zombies. No one understood the horror of zombies better than them.
When the death row prisoners were tens of meters away from the other side, the shirtless Bao Lingmin suddenly raised the rifle in his hand and held it horizontally above his head like a stop sign. As the hundreds of people stopped, the majority of the people also stopped. Then, everyone stopped in front of the unknown armed forces.
"Do you want freedom?
Do you want women?
Do you want to eat better? "
An officer in military uniform came out and shouted loudly. Although he only shouted three questions, most of the people present felt the same way. An earth-shattering shout came from the 1,800 prisoners.
"Put down your weapons and come to our side. We will give you freedom, women, food, and wine..."
The officer's hysterical shouts caused the prisoners to fall silent. Putting down their weapons was tantamount to being trampled upon. Even if they only had a knife and a shield in their hands, it would still give them a sense of security. If they did not have these two things, they would feel as if they had been stripped naked.
The officer did not seem to be in a hurry and did not urge too much. He knew that this group of people was just a group of cannon fodder, a group of desperate and complaining cannon fodder. As long as this group of people was incorporated, they would be transformed into a steel knife and become his vanguard. He only needed to control the direction of the steel knife.
In the distance, the position of the Blood Wolf Regiment began to calm down. It seemed that there was no response to the escape of the death row prisoners. The officer knew that the reason why they could not respond was that there was not much ammunition there. But even so, they could not destroy the garrison there.
The reason was very simple. The quality of their soldiers was too poor. If one person died, it would make everyone hesitate to move forward. Therefore, they needed to win over these death row prisoners, break into the reconnaissance room, kill Zhao Jun, and make all the frontline troops chaotic. Then, in the name of the command center, most of the troops that could not be controlled would be sent to the mouths of zombies.
"Why should we believe you..."
Bao Lingmin broke the silence and seemed a little hesitant. The other death row prisoners stared at the officer to see how he would answer. Bao Lingmin asked what they thought in their hearts. Who would be stupid if they could not get a guarantee?
"Because we have a common enemy. As long as we completely occupy the camp, you can get enough equipment, but the premise is that you have to accept my reorganization..."
The officer seemed to be very confident in himself. As his voice fell, hundreds of armed men appeared in the rear. The clothes of these people were recognized by the death row prisoners. They were the logistics personnel who were busy in the camp every day.
"Bang..."
Bao Lingmin threw down the rifle in his hand and walked over there. Then, hundreds of people threw down their blades and shields and followed closely behind Bao Lingmin. After the death row prisoners threw away their weapons, all the heavy machine guns that were aiming at them slightly shifted their muzzles.
"You will soon know that your choice is wise. We do not only have these people. We have people in the two counties behind..."
The officer said this, leaving the death row prisoners room to daydream. Then, large baskets of steamed buns and vegetable soup were sent over. He could even guarantee a bottle of inferior wine for five people.
While eating, Bao Lingmin's subordinates looked at him. Bao Lingmin did not make any rash moves. He grabbed the big steamed buns and ate with the others. Then, he took a bottle of wine by himself and raised his head to drink all the white wine. While drunk, he said to the others, "The plan has changed. The other side has not let down their guard against us. Now, we can only take one step at a time..."
When the other prisoners heard this, they subconsciously shrank their heads. They were surrounded by machine guns, and they were trapped in the middle. If they moved rashly, they would be shot into a pile of meat paste in a few minutes.
After eating, the officer began to preach to the condemned prisoners. They had already proven that Zhang Xiao Qiang was dead, that the troops had been wiped out, and that all the people had been taken in by them. After a long time, he only said one thing. Only by following them would they have a better life, and only then would they be able to get women …
The officer's words made the thousands of death row prisoners whisper to each other, and Bao Lingmin also sneered. A few hundred people and three armored vehicles could not take down a Mongolian company that lacked ammunition. If they were to rely on them to fight zombies, they might as well rely on an old sow to climb a tree.
Suddenly, two outsiders squeezed into Bao Lingmin's subordinates. They were two burly men. When these two fierce-looking men squeezed in front of Bao Lingmin, they immediately became docile.
"You are Boss Bao, right? We were blind just now and offended you. We came to apologize to you..."
Bao Lingmin looked at the two of them and nodded, accepting their apology. Then, he waited for them to state their purpose of coming.
"The two of us felt that something was wrong. Why do I feel like the officer is trying to lead us into the ditch? When we were working on projects in the past, the government leaders of the county always tricked us like this. Once the project is completed, if we want to pay off the balance, we have to calculate it on an annual basis..."
Bao Lingmin was not in the mood to listen to the two of them talk about the legendary experience of the labor contractor.
He said a little impatiently, "What do you want to say?"
"Nothing else. We just want to ask what Boss Bao's plan is. We know that Boss Bao is a capable man, and we won't suffer any losses by following you. We have dozens of brothers under us, and we will all follow your lead..."
The two of them did not arouse Bao Lingmin's suspicion. There were not many twists and turns in the circle of death row prisoners. Whoever had the bigger fist was the capable one. Following those who had the capability was better than being beaten up by those who did not have the capability.
"Follow me later. Whatever I do, you'll do …"
Bao Lingmin did not comment. He did not know what kind of people these two were. He did not even trust his own subordinates, so how could he trust two outsiders?
