Chu Han used a seemingly absurd meeting to solve the problem of ownership of the Duan Clan Base, but at the same time, he also presented a bigger issue than jurisdiction to the higher-ups of the base.
Either leave or die.
Leaving here would guarantee them a moment of peace, but they would also lose all their current status and identity.
Staying here would mean facing the undefeatable zombie tide, and the only result would be death.
Which one do you choose?
Therefore, in this rather grand meeting room, all the managers were silent. At the head of the long table stood Chu Han. From the moment he entered to the moment he finished speaking, he never sat down. It seemed that the seat behind him represented the highest authority of the base.
However, this attitude was like a huge mountain pressing down on everyone's hearts.
Lu Chuxue raised her eyes and looked at Chu Han with a complicated gaze. She said in a low voice, "I will stay and fight against the zombie tide."
Wow!
Countless pairs of eyes looked at Lu Chuxue. Some were impressed, some were shocked, and some were puzzled.
Lu Chuxue didn't care about these gazes. Instead, she looked at Chu Han and said, "I am the lieutenant general of the Duan Clan Base, and also a new human being. General Duan asked me to come back to the base to meet you, which means he trusts me. I can't leave."
Chu Han looked at Lu Chuxue's eyes, and for some reason, his thoughts drifted away and he thought of a person in the Wolf Fang Base …
"I will stay."
"I, I still have a child …"
"I won't leave."
…
Everyone expressed their stance one by one. Some stayed, some gave up. Many people hesitated before making a decision. Chu Han didn't deal with the internal members of the Wolf Fang Base, but gave them the freedom to choose.
"Those who stay, record your name. Those who want to leave can pack up and leave now."
Although he didn't force them, Chu Han didn't hold back. He looked at Lu Chuxue and said, "Let the survivors of the two bases choose as well. Either stay and fight against the zombie tide, or get out of the base."
Lu Chuxue wasn't used to Chu Han's style, but she still followed his instructions.
The members of the Wolf Fang Battle Group were still on the way and would not be able to arrive for a while. Chu Han took a look around the Duan Clan's base and then went to the Southern Command Base. He did not reveal his identity as Lu Chuxue was in charge. He only came to take a look at what the base looked like and how it could be modified to withstand the corpse tide.
After all, compared to the Duan Family, the Southern Command Base was further south, and it would be the first point of attack of the corpse tide soon.
Lu Chuxue didn't know what Chu Han was doing. She only gathered the people and began to make preparations for the war. She was very clear that the next war would be in two months, and with the current Duan Clan base, even if all the resources of the Southern Base were added, it would be impossible to withstand the corpse tide that Chu Han mentioned.
The first step was to select the people. Lu Chuxue did it in an orderly manner. She went through all the people in the two bases, and about a third of the officials chose to leave. Lu Chuxue didn't stop them, but she didn't give them anything either. When faced with the shameless faces of these officials, Lu Chuxue only used one sentence to dismiss them:
"During this special period, there is nothing for you. Please leave the base before tomorrow. Your houses and belongings will all be taken back and turned into military supplies."
As for the survivors of the two bases, half of them left. The bases were very big, with a total of a hundred thousand residents. Even if half of them left, there were still fifty thousand people left. It was just that the two bases suddenly became a lot more empty.
Looking at the empty bases that suddenly became very cold, many of the survivors panicked. They had a kind of bitter feeling that they didn't know how to face. They also wanted to leave, but they didn't have the ability to face the outside world that was filled with zombies, mutants, and berserk beasts.
The base was their protective umbrella. Even if they died in two months, they could still live for another two months. But once they left, it was very likely that they would die the next day …
Many people were mentally struggling. This was something that Chu Han and Lu Chuxue were clear about. However, neither of them explained anything. Life in the base went on as usual. After Chu Han finished touring the two bases, he took a helicopter and left for Wolf's Fang.
Lu Chuxue didn't know what Chu Han was going to do when he returned to Wolf's Fang. The Wolf Fang Battle Group was obviously not there, so Lu Chuxue didn't say anything.
However, the rest of the people in the base kept spreading rumors. They said that if Chu Han left, the two bases would be abandoned. He only came to pass on a message, and in fact, he had no intention of fighting the zombies.
After all, whether it was Chu Han or the Wolf Fang Battle Group, none of them were here …
Thus, in the three days that these rumors continued to spread, another ten thousand people left the base. The total number of survivors in the two bases was less than forty thousand.
Lu Chuxue looked at the number of survivors that were getting smaller and smaller. She thought about the back view of Chu Han leaving without giving any explanation. Then, she looked at the two bases that were getting more and more lifeless. She couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of grievance.
What was the difference between this and waiting for death?
And just when many of the higher-ups, including Lu Chuxue, were feeling despair, a large number of helicopters suddenly descended from the sky and landed on the Duan Clan Base's helipad.
"Where is Lieutenant General Lu Chuxue?
Tianyang Base has come to deliver supplies! "
"Nandu Base has come to deliver weapons!"
"Chuan Base's general has asked me to pass on a message. A troop of ten thousand people has already set off from the base. They will arrive in about a month!"
…
More and more helicopters arrived. The originally spacious helipad was suddenly filled with noises everywhere. Large amounts of supplies were unloaded from the helicopters. Then, these helicopters left. Not long after, another batch of supplies arrived.
A steady stream of supplies flowed into the Duan Clan Base. Lu Chuxue ordered people to take inventory while she continuously met with the people who came to deliver the message.
"Chuan Base is sending out an army of ten thousand people?" She looked at the representative of the Chuan Base in shock. She couldn't believe her ears.
The person who came nodded and said seriously, "Although the war in the north has not ended, our army will fully support the corpse tide. Some will send people, some will not. In short, if the Southern Alliance Army can't make it in time, the other bases will also send people over."
Lu Chuxue nodded, then asked with some uncertainty, "What about the Wolf Fang Battle Group?"
The person was stunned for a moment, then said in shock, "The Wolf Fang Battle Group is already on the way. You didn't know?"
Lu Chuxue was stunned and said, "The Wolf Fang Battle Group only has three thousand people. Even if you add in the battle teams and the other squads, it should only be four thousand people, right?"
The person was shocked again. "No, the three battle teams have a total of one thousand people. The shooting team has five hundred people, and the scouting team has five hundred people. After the war, the defense team's number dropped to one thousand. After the war, the elite team's number also dropped to two thousand. However, they still have thirty thousand new recruits. It is said that they are currently training and are on the way."
"Three?
Thirty thousand?! "Lu Chuxue was like a bolt from the blue. She really didn't know about this!
