"Crunch!"

Just as Gray Bear finished translating and the survivors below exchanged glances, the sound of a gun being cocked rang out. Everyone looked towards the source, and it was James on top of the tallest building.

He had a machine gun in front of him, and the sound had been him pulling back the bolt!

"Step forward! I'd like to see just how shameless my fellow countrymen have become!"

Looking down, James said:

"Since the apocalypse descended, we've had a hard time. People die almost every day, and the list of fallen I keep is growing daily.

"But I've never given up hope, because I know that if I persevere, the darkness will eventually pass, and one day we'll be able to rebuild our home, because this is our city, it's right here, and no one can take it away!

"And look, we're already here, we've already started rebuilding. Although this place isn't big, at least it's a good start, isn't it?

"But what I just saw was quite disappointing. I didn't expect there to be such shameless people among my close companions.

"Fairness, sharing! Hahahaha! I'm really curious, what kind of person can say such things to the benefactor who just brought him out of a dangerous city and into this town!

"I know that the reason you dare to do this is because you see that Li and Bear are both Easterners. You think that you're surrounded by your own people, so you can rely on numbers to suppress them and take everything they have.

"In fact, we did do that before the apocalypse. Perhaps that's why you think you should do it now.

"But unfortunately, I have to tell you that this doesn't work now, at least not here. As long as I'm still here, as long as I'm not dead, you'll never be able to do that!"

With that, James waved to his adjutant beside him, signaling him to operate the machine gun. Then, he jumped straight down from the building, went to Carl, who was still lying on the ground, squatted down, and looked at the terrified Carl, saying:

"Carl, right after we entered this town, I remember you were carrying a bag, a bag full of food and water. My men told you that the food and water should be managed centrally. Do you remember what you said then?"

Looking at James, Carl opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.

"Looks like you've forgotten. It doesn't matter, I remember, I can help you remember!"

James didn't expect an answer from him, and continued:

"This is mine, no one can take it away. I got this on the road. If you want to eat, go get it from the city yourself! And now I don't see that bag of yours. I guess you've hidden it in a place that only you know, right?"

After speaking, James used his hand to lift Carl's chin and stared at him, saying:

"I remember correctly, right? Is that what you said? The person who could say such a thing actually stood up and shouted that he wanted fairness, that he wanted to share. Don't you think that's ironic? Why don't you go get your bag and share the contents with everyone?"

Releasing Carl, James stood up and looked at the seven people who had been stirring up trouble with Carl earlier, and said:

"Now, I announce that you, and Carl, the eight of you, are exiled. From now on, you can't stay in my base, you can't stay in this town. You're free to go wherever you want.

"I'll give you five minutes. After five minutes, if you're still here, I'll order you to be shot!"

"No! You can't do this!"

Hearing James's words, those people panicked. At this time, exiling them was no different from taking their lives!

"James! Carl incited me! I didn't want to!"

"Yes! James, it's all Carl's fault. You can exile him, I can even help you throw him out, but please let me stay. I'll die if I leave here!"

"James, I was wrong, don't drive me away, I still have poor Betty!"

"James, I..."

Everyone pleaded, wanting James to take back his order, but James just looked at them indifferently and shook his head, saying:

"Sorry, you've already lost your chance!"

With that, he turned to look at the other survivors:

"Since this world changed, we've been living together. You've all clearly seen what we've been doing. To save you, more than half of my soldiers have died.

"It's nothing, because we are soldiers, and it's our duty to save you. We didn't expect you to give us anything in return!

"But there's something you should know. After someone provides you with help, no matter what kind of help it is, you should at least say thank you and be grateful, and remember that we once helped you.

"Although we don't expect a reward, at least, we don't want the people we risked our lives to save to not only be ungrateful, but also covet our things, and even try to force us by joining forces with others!

"Just now, in addition to these eight people, there were actually others who joined in, but I'm a broad-minded person, and I won't hold it against you this time. However, I definitely don't want there to be a next time. So, those who still want to stay here can continue to work. In the future, when you want to do something, it's best to think clearly about whether your ideas are appropriate!"

James's words made all the surrounding survivors lower their heads. Some of them were ashamed, and some were afraid and regretful, but no matter what the reason, they didn't dare to make eye contact with James or Li Chenzhou now.

"I'm really sorry, my friend, I didn't expect there to be such people among us! I'm really ashamed! You've helped us so much, but we..."

After dealing with the matter, James came to Li Chenzhou with an apologetic look on his face.

"You don't need to apologize, James!"

Li Chenzhou, after listening to Gray Bear's translation, looked at James and said:

"Actually, I can understand. If it were normal times, they might not have become like this, but now it's the end of the world. The ubiquitous crisis makes everyone feel fear, and the desire for life makes them greedy, and greed can make people lose their minds and become selfish and crazy!"

"You're right! Even Doujing often wakes up in nightmares. Every time, I can dream of myself being torn apart by zombies, and the number of zombies tearing me apart is constantly increasing, from just one at the beginning to thirty or forty last night."

James said with a wry smile.

"Think of it another way, maybe it's because you've become stronger, so even in your subconscious, you feel that at least thirty or forty zombies are needed to kill you!"

Li Chenzhou laughed, reached out and patted James on the shoulder and said:

"So, this should be considered good news, right? Okay, we're leaving now, you should also send someone to send a message and get ready to start!"

"Okay! I have no problem here!"

James nodded vigorously and also patted Li Chenzhou on the shoulder. Then, he watched as he and Gray Bear and the other hundred people entered the bus and drove away from the town...
