“Well! You guys just think it’s unlucky to bury dead people in the yard, and… that it’s unreasonable to leave you here unattended and not provide you with food and lodging just to bury the dead, right?”

The fatty said with a smile:

“Any other opinions?”

“Yes!”

Seeing that the fatty was speaking kindly, the survivors became bolder. One person pointed to the dormitory building and said:

“Those bodies were all moved out of that building, which means they all died there. We don’t want to live in a house where people have died. We want to live here!”

As he spoke, the man pointed to the prison.

“Right! I don’t want to live over there either. I want to live here!”

“Me too!”

“Me too!”

“I want to live here too!”

“…”

Many more people responded to the suggestion.

“Then let’s do that. Anyone who absolutely doesn’t want to live in that dormitory building, stand out now, so we can assign places later!”

The fatty scratched his chin and then said:

“But I’m warning you, this isn’t a dormitory building. This is a prison, with prison cells inside, and quite a few prisoners locked up. That side may have had people die there, but it’s still a dormitory building with beds.”

“Humph! I wouldn’t live there even if there were beds. I don’t want to sleep in a bed that a dead person has lain in!”

“Me neither. Looking at those corpses, most of them are rotten and stink to high heaven!”

“I’d rather live in a prison. Prison cells have iron bars, which are safer!”

“That’s right! I want to live in the prison too! I’ve never lived in one before. It’ll be something new!”

“I don’t like prisons, but it’s still better than sleeping in a dead man’s bed. I’ll just make do in the prison for now. You guys hurry up and build another building in this yard, and then we’ll move in!”

“…”

Some people shouted and stood out, gathering together on one side. There were about two hundred people in total.

Watching those two hundred people, a cold glint flashed in the fatty’s eyes. He had been by Li Chenzhou’s side the whole time, having entered the prison cells and watched the video from beginning to end. Even though he had never been a soldier, he had great respect for those prison guards.

Now, hearing those people speak of them with such disgust, calling them dead men, and even brazenly telling them to hurry up and build a new building here for them to move into, an unnamed anger welled up in his heart.

“The boss is right. When you can’t survive, you long to live. When you survive, you long to be full. When you’re full, you long to eat well, and then you’ll demand a better environment and more. People’s desires are endless and will only grow with their own environment.”

The fatty thought to himself, but his face showed no change, remaining amiable. He looked back at the corner where they were digging the pit.

With the help of Gray Bear and Li Chenzhou, the pit was expanding rapidly, and the bodies of the prison guards from the building had all been moved out and placed neatly on the ground next to it. Each body was wrapped in a military-green quilt!

The people Duan Lei had sent out to find a stone tablet had also returned. They had actually carried back a huge stone tablet that was five meters long, one meter wide, and twenty centimeters thick. It also had some ghost-like drawings on it.

According to the people who brought the stone tablet back, they had found it in a temple and felt it was suitable, so they brought it back!

Duan Lei had no taboos. Seeing that the size of the stone tablet was right, he nodded and told people to find a way to remove the ghost-like drawings on it.

Ding Ning and Tian Ya also came out of the prison at this time. Tian Ya was actually holding a projector, which he set up at the prison entrance and tested against the wall next to the pit. Seeing that there were no problems, he quietly waited there!

Ding Ning walked towards the burial pit. Li Chenzhou had suggested that he and Tian Ya get the projector, and he thought it was a great idea, so he went to cooperate with Tian Ya and cut out a clip of footage.

“Alright! Let’s begin!”

Finally, the burial pit was dug. After Li Chenzhou and Gray Bear stayed inside to level it out, they threw their shovels up and looked up at Ding Ning.

Ding Ning nodded, then came to a corpse, called out a name, and at the same time, Tian Ya turned on the projector and started playing the footage. The footage was of the owner of that corpse.

At this time, he was still very young. He should have just joined the prison as a prison guard. He faced the camera, saluting with excitement, and reported his name, age, place of origin, and other personal information…

“These corpses are all prison guards?”

Seeing this scene, the survivors began to realize something, so they became much quieter and watched the big screen carefully.

Although they didn’t know what had happened before, watching the young faces on the screen, full of joy and hope, and then looking at their already somewhat rotten, lifeless corpses, most of them felt the same way and fell silent.

“Really, just throw them in, wouldn’t that be enough? He even recites their names one by one. I don’t know them, so what does it have to do with me? What a waste of time!”

“Alas! At this rate, don’t plan on sleeping tonight!”

“I’m starving to death. When are they going to distribute food? I remember they collected a lot of supplies back!”

“…”

Of course, not everyone remained silent. Among the group who wanted to move into the prison, there were still quite a few people complaining, but fortunately, they seemed to know to be careful and keep their voices down.

“Zhou Ming! Died at the age of twenty-four!”

Ding Ning’s words continued, and the corpse of the person whose name he had mentioned was also lifted up and sent into the burial pit. When they heard the age of death, the survivors trembled in their hearts. Twenty-four years old, just as life had begun… it had already ended.

Seeing Zhou Ming’s childish face when he came here at the age of eighteen, some female survivors, as well as those who had just lost their children, couldn’t help but cry.

As one corpse after another was placed into the burial pit, the energetic figures in the video also dimmed. Finally, all the corpses were placed into the burial pit. They were all neatly stacked, with Zhang Shu, who had stood in front of the window after death, on top.

On Zhang Shu’s body was covered a military flag, which had been taken from the flagpole in the yard, the same military flag that Zhang Shu had saluted before entering the corridor to kill his infected comrades…

Looking at the corpses of his comrades, Ding Ning didn’t cry. His eyes were red, and his spine was straight as he saluted his former comrades. Gray Bear made the same gesture next to him.

Li Chenzhou waved his hand, leading people to start filling the pit with soil, and the video Tian Ya played directly became the video that Li Chenzhou and the others had watched at that time.

When Xiao Gang just appeared, the survivors immediately realized that this was the moment when the apocalypse descended. Therefore, even those who wanted to move into the prison stopped complaining and all watched the projection seriously…
