Chapter 43 Precious sat on the sofa and took a deep breath of cigarette. "What's the problem with Guild Leader Chen? Can I help you?" He asked. Chen Chuhe smiled faintly and said, "Tell me about your gathering place first! You must tell the truth. This concerns whether you can help me or not! It will also be beneficial to you!" Precious did not understand what Chen Chuhe meant. After some consideration, he said, "There are only a few hundred people in my gathering place. It used to be a huge prison!" The food reserves in the prison are fairly adequate. After we entered, we basically didn't go out to search for any supplies. The prison wall is ten meters tall, but there are no walls and passageways. There are only four watchtowers. I'm going back this time to reinforce the city wall! " Chen Chuhe smiled and said, "You finally admit that you are the owner of that gathering place?" Precious was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I have never denied it. However, we have never talked about this topic before! It is said that a small gathering place is not worth mentioning." Chen Chuhe nodded his head, then let out a long sigh and said, "The internal contradictions of the Pentagon are becoming more and more obvious!" Precious was puzzled. The Pentagon was built so safely, and there was also a food supply system. Why would there be any contradictions? A fight for power? He didn't say anything and waited for Chen Chuhe to continue. Cheng Chuhe took a puff of his cigarette before he spoke. "There are two questions. The first was the ratio of men to women in the Pentagon! There were three thousand male soldiers and five hundred male construction workers in the Pentagon. With more than two hundred male family members, there were only two hundred women left. Moreover, these women had husbands, and their husbands were also in the Pentagon. This has resulted in serious gender imbalances and growing problems. The peaceful life in the Pentagon made the youths look like estrus beasts. Of course, they could go to Fate City to find a woman, but the population limit of the Pentagon couldn't allow them to bring a woman into the Pentagon at a dangerous moment! Just like this time, I have already noticed the dissatisfaction of many officers and soldiers. Zombies besieged the city. We've sealed off the Pentagon to prevent any newcomers from entering. But among these newcomers, many women are already married to the officers and men in our building. It was obvious how much pressure and pain they had to endure if they were to abandon their women and hide in the building! In the long run, a mutiny would inevitably arise! Second, the attitude towards the apocalypse. The three thousand young men in the Pentagon were a major part of the population. They are strong, young, eager for life and the future. However, the apocalypse had made their future illusory. When they came here with me, they couldn't hide. The newcomers will provide us with the taxes that we have to pay so that our people will not go out to look for supplies and will be able to survive very well. This caused the young soldiers to become more and more depressed and boring in this oppressive and stable life. They were eager to go out and experience the apocalypse, and to find their own lives in the apocalypse! Although this situation is not prominent, I have already experienced it. And a very small number of people, like me, don't want to go out at all! The Pentagon can be considered very safe. If I can live here for a lifetime, it would actually be good. Most importantly, my wife and children are with me! My family is perfect, which makes me even more reluctant to give up my current stability! You might think that I can let them search for supplies and experience the apocalyptic life outside like the newcomers to Fate City, but in that case, they will still belong to the Pentagon of Fate City. A group of people moving in and out is a very unsafe factor. What I need is stability! The so-called stability is to control in my hands together. This way, I can ensure the safety of everyone in the Pentagon! " After Chen Chuhe finished speaking, he took another puff of his cigarette and looked at Precious . After Precious heard this, he secretly laughed. He thought that if he was a young man who had never even touched a woman, he probably didn't want to be locked up in the Pentagon for the rest of his life, right? Seeing Chen Chuhe no longer speak, Precious took the initiative to say, "Then what does Guild Leader Chen want me to do for you?" Chen Chuhe said, "You should only be thirty years old. You can be considered a young man! Furthermore, after a short period of contact, I feel that you are not bad and have a very powerful martial art!" Hearing Chen Chuhe say that he knew martial arts, Precious couldn't help but blush slightly. Chen Chuhe didn't seem to notice Precious 's expression and continued, "Most importantly, you still have a gathering place! I think if you want, I can ask my subordinates if they want to change their lives. If they want to, you can take them away!" Precious 's head was short-circuited in an instant. There were thousands of them! This is no small matter. Does he have the ability to feed them? Chen Chuhe seemed to see through Precious 's difficulties. He earnestly said, "Facing the apocalypse, I have become a coward! But who says that a coward loses the right to live?" Therefore, I want to change the current situation, make the Pentagon stable and expel all unstable factors from the Pentagon! After that, we will remain as we are. Destiny City will be semi-closed to the outside world. We will not easily take in survivors. Only those who conform to our ideals will be allowed to enter. After reaching a certain level of online access, we will completely seal off the city. The Pentagon is also in a semi-enclosed state. You are only allowed to enter and not leave. We will reasonably absorb some people from Fate City to stay in the Pentagon according to the ratio of men to women. If that was the case, then perhaps the outside of the building was the end of the world, and there was only the Peach Garden in the Pentagon! If you are willing to help me take away those uncomfortable lads, you will be doing me a big favor. As for you, you can obtain a batch of real soldiers. When they leave here, they will definitely be armed to the teeth! When we escaped from the base of the military region, we carried a large number of weapons, so I won't be stingy at all! " An army that had always been made up of soldiers! Precious was a little moved! Right now, he really had his own ideals. He wanted to build a city that belonged to him according to his own ideas! What was the thing he lacked the most? Isn't it just an army that obeys orders and has great combat strength? As for what a soldier's nature was, it was obedience! If he could become their supreme commander, and continue to militarize the management to meet their personal emotional needs, then he should be able to firmly control them in his own hands. After thinking for a while, Precious finally nodded slightly and said to Chen Chuhe, "Guild Leader Chen, since you trust me, then I have nothing to refuse! On the contrary, I think I should thank you. You are planning to give me an army!" Chen Chuhe smiled, then shook his head and said to Precious , "Young man, what you said is wrong!" I didn't entrust them to you because I trusted you! You and I are only acquaintances for a short period of time. I don't understand you at all. How can I trust you! I'm just a little selfish. I just want to completely eliminate the potential dangers of the Pentagon so that I can have a better life! Of course, I do think that you are a good person and won't casually bring those young soldiers to their doom. However, in this apocalyptic world, what can be certain? After leaving the Pentagon, the lives and deaths of those people will have nothing to do with me! Even if they want to turn around, I won't accept it! " Precious looked at Chen Chuhe's smile and his body suddenly trembled. Yeah, in the apocalypse, what else could be confirmed? At the end of the conversation, Precious returned to the twentieth floor exhausted. He returned to his room and looked through the damaged door. He discovered that there was no one inside. He nervously shouted, "Blue Moon?" As soon as he shouted, the door next door opened. Lan Yue and Li Hongliu Jia walked out together. They were all extremely happy to see him return. Lan Yue even walked over and gently grabbed his arm. "Uncle, where did you go? I was so scared to see you hit that monster. I thought you wouldn't be able to come back!" Liu Jia told me not to worry. You used to use a broadsword to kill a D jumping zombie! Is that true? So you're so powerful! " Precious looked at Lan Yue, who was acting coquettish with him, and could not accept it. At this moment, Lan Yue had cleanly taken care of herself. Her mature and sexy appearance did not resemble a little girl at all. However, her tone of voice was that of a real little girl. The contrast between her vision and feeling made Precious feel very strange. He smiled at Lan Yue and entered the room where Li Hong and the others lived. He asked, "Is the battle downstairs still going on?" Li Hong said, "I think it's almost over. The Pentagon has sent out more troops. Although there are a large number of ordinary zombies, our weapons are also very powerful." Lan Yue was a little angry at Precious for ignoring her, but she blocked Li Hong and Liu Jia's face, but she could not lose her temper, so she could only stand by the wall awkwardly and play with her fingers. Precious climbed onto the windowsill and looked down. Fate City was surrounded by flames. The zombies let out roars in the fire. It looked like there were still tens of thousands of zombies, but there were no mutated zombies. It should only be a matter of time before the zombies were cleaned up. The danger in Fate City had been resolved. At this time, Chen Chuhe's personal soldier called Fang Lei came to the room and smiled at Precious very brilliantly and charmingly. He only made Precious feel uncomfortable. He held four lunch boxes in his hand and placed them on the table. "Boss, let's eat!" He said. Precious was stunned and asked Fang Lei, "What did you call me?" Fang Lei scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Call me boss! I've heard from Chen Tuan! I've decided to follow you! It's safe to stay in the Pentagon, but it's so boring that I'm suffocating! Chen Tuan won't let me go out casually! Many of our brothers are suffocated!" Hearing this, Precious laughed. It seemed that not everyone was eager for peace. No matter in any era, there are always some people who are unwilling to be lonely. They are the pioneers of history, but also the promoters of the progress of the times. After so many years, this group of people will definitely be remembered in history! Perhaps it was a hero, perhaps it was a hero, perhaps it was a great villain! But no matter what, they all used their unwillingness to be lonely all their lives, allowing their names to remain in the long river of history! After a slight sigh, Precious thanked Fang Lei and began to eat with the three women. Fang Lei had arranged another bedroom for Precious . They couldn't leave today. Only when the zombies outside were clear would they be able to leave. Fang Lei regarded himself as Precious 's personal soldier. He came to deliver water and cigarettes later, which made Precious feel a little embarrassed. A day passed quickly. By evening, the fire outside the city was gradually extinguished and the zombies were almost cleaned up. The entire city was cheering. They didn't care about the suffocating stench of the zombies left in the air after they were burned. After experiencing the zombie siege, they survived. This was the most important thing. After experiencing a lot this day, Precious fought another battle with the D Jumping Corpse King. He was very tired and went to bed early at night. Lan Yue, who had never spoken to him, jumped onto the bed after he fell asleep. She took the initiative to find a comfortable position in his arms and slowly fell asleep. That night, the city was very quiet. The people who had been in great trouble had gone through fear, helplessness, excitement and joy. All that remained was fatigue. The next morning, Chen Chuhe sent people to build a five-meter high platform on the open space in front of the Pentagon Tower. Then, he had people install loudspeakers in many parts of Destiny City. Afterwards, everyone from Fate City, including the people from the Pentagon, gathered in the open space in front of the stage. Everyone was puzzled. They didn't know what important thing this mysterious City Lord of Destiny had to announce. He had actually set up such a large formation. After eating breakfast, Precious and the others were invited down from the Pentagon by Chen Chuhe. When Precious stepped onto the five-meter platform and faced the nearly ten thousand people in front of him, he was somewhat shocked. Looks like there's still a long way to go to build a city that has a large population and belongs to me! Now that there were only , people in front of him, his legs had actually begun to tremble. He was very nervous! The Choice Of Fate The Choice Of Fate 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 Precious . Precious reluctantly walked slowly to Chen Chuhe's side. Below the stage, those who were close could still see what Precious 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 Precious ! 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 Precious 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 Precious . 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 Precious '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 Precious , 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. Precious , 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? Precious really wanted to laugh, his sky was covered in dark clouds! However, Precious 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. Precious 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. Precious 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 Precious fight against the D Jumping Corpse King at the staircase yesterday! As soldiers, they loved to fight and worship martial power. They were completely convinced by Precious 's martial power. Gradually, a large number of people from the camp rushed to the open space. Some of them had heard about Precious '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 Precious ! Precious 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, Precious '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!
