"Boss! I thought I heard something about a get-together and eating crocodile meat? Is it true?"

The fatty, who had just rushed out, didn't care about anything else and asked directly.

Li Chenzhou: "..."

So, this dead fatty only woke up so quickly because he heard about food? If that's the case, the next time he uses his talent, will he not faint if he has a chicken leg in his mouth?

Hmm! Worth a try.

Li Chenzhou secretly made up his mind that he must try it out later, but he said,

"That's right! It's about to start. Didn't we kill three big mutant crocodiles when we came? Their meat is good for humans, so we're eating that tonight!"

"Can I eat it too?"

The fatty's saliva was almost drooling.

"Of course, everyone can go!"

Li Chenzhou waved his hand and said,

"Let's go, let's go too!"

"Okay!"

The fatty was overjoyed and followed Li Chenzhou out of the small courtyard, but then suddenly asked,

"Boss! This... our base has just been established, don't we need guards? What if zombies smell the scent and wander over? The walls here don't seem to be finished yet, right?"

Hearing the fatty's words, Li Chenzhou couldn't help but stop and look back at the fatty in surprise. This guy could actually think of this? It seems he's not just about eating!

"I said, we won't build a base, so this is Wang Yuanqiang's base. We are just guests. Even if someone needs to be on guard, it's his business, we don't need to worry about it!"

"Oh!"

The fatty nodded upon hearing this, and then followed Li Chenzhou to the square in front of the village committee!

This square was indeed very large. Almost all the survivors of Wu Village had come. Nearly a thousand people were in the square, but it didn't feel crowded at all.

Moreover, countless bonfires had already been lit in the square. The countryside has no shortage of kindling. Although there was very little charcoal, by-products of crops such as corn cobs and wheat straw were everywhere, and every household had them stored.

Many large pots were also brought over and placed on the fire. In addition, there were ready-made barbecue racks, barbecue stoves, etc. Emergency lights and searchlights were also placed on the walls of the neighborhood committee and on the roofs of surrounding farmers, illuminating the square as if it were daytime.

Looking at it at a glance, this was not a gathering of survivors in the apocalypse? It was simply a prosperous food street in a city in its heyday.

Two huge mutant crocodiles had also been transported over, and they had already been gutted. Although the crocodile skin was quite strong, the survivors still tried their best to peel it off completely.

More than a dozen survivors who claimed to be chefs gathered around the crocodile, cutting off pieces of crocodile meat, and then ran to their own cooking utensils and began to process and cook it.

In the center of the square, the old director was leading the children in games, singing and dancing, surrounded by a large group of survivors who had not been assigned work, all gathered around to watch the fun.

"I can do this too, give me a pot."

Seeing this scene, the fatty immediately became excited and rushed towards the crocodile, clamoring to show off his skills. He was from Li Chenzhou's team, so naturally no one dared to stop him.

"I originally thought... I would never see this kind of scene again in my life, but I didn't expect it to appear in front of me so quickly!"

A voice full of emotion sounded behind Li Chenzhou. Kong Xiang and Wang Yuanqiang walked over from behind, standing behind Li Chenzhou, their eyes full of excitement as they looked at the crowd in the square with happy faces.

Li Chenzhou looked at Kong Xiang. The previous emotion came from his mouth, and Wang Yuanqiang used the evolutionary potion.

"In this world, many things are unpredictable, like the arrival of this apocalypse, like us gathering together, like... those children who are happily singing and dancing, forgetting that just a few hours ago, they were still crying loudly!"

Li Chenzhou looked up at the sky and said,

"In fact, when I decided to rescue people along the way, and even until I decided to use two mutant crocodiles to have a dinner party for everyone, I didn't expect the scene before me to appear. The reason why I organized the dinner party was just because everyone had just experienced a major change, and many people had even lost their loved ones.

At this time, if they were left alone in the rooms arranged for them, in silence in the dark, surrounded by unfamiliar strangers, I'm afraid many people would think of the fear and sadness of these days, so I brought everyone together, at least... to dilute some of the confusion in their hearts and make them feel that the future is no longer hopeless!"

Saying that, Li Chenzhou raised his finger and pointed to the survivors in the square:

"Originally, I didn't know how the effect would be, I just wanted to do what I could, but now, I think they have given the answer! They have not despaired, nor have they given up. This base has given them a new goal, and I think this goal may become the motivation to support them to live in this world!

And to keep this hope alive is what you have to do! After the apocalypse, countless bases are destined to appear outside the city, because no matter what the environment, life can always find a way out, and humans are even more so!

Every base will be different because of their leaders, and the survivors living in that base will naturally be affected by this aspect. Do you want to see those survivors who were full of despair or even indifferent because they were bullied by Hei Ge and the others when we first arrived here, or do you want to see these survivors now?"

Patting Wang Yuanqiang and Kong Xiang on the shoulders, Li Chenzhou smiled and walked towards the square, and his last words were carried by the cheerful laughter and the evening breeze mixed with the smell of barbecue into the ears of the two:

"Some people say that how you look at the world is how the world looks at you, but now, it should be, how you treat this base, and how this base will repay you..."

Looking at Li Chenzhou's gradually receding back, and savoring his words in their hearts, Wang Yuanqiang and Kong Xiang suddenly fell silent. After a while, they both looked up, looked at each other, smiled at the same time, and then looked at the square together—obviously, they had already made a decision, and even Kong Xiang, who had been somewhat disheartened before, had rekindled his fighting spirit because of the scene before him!

"The neighborhood committee should have a loudspeaker, right?"

Li Chenzhou found Duan Lei, pulled him out of the crowd, and asked.

"Yes! But because the power is cut off now, we need to connect a battery!"

Duan Lei replied immediately.

"Go and connect it. At this time, how can we be without a speech!"

Li Chenzhou immediately waved his hand...
