"That's right! We were delayed by something too. It's not that we don't trust them. Why don't you talk to them? Anyway, it's the apocalypse now, and everyone needs people. Just let us up?"

"Exactly. I see that the place is so big; you can't possibly use it all, right? In that case, let us all in. We'll definitely listen. Hongli is still the leader, right? We're all used to him being the leader."

"Yeah, that Wang Zifeng was nothing. I couldn't stand him long ago. Now that he's dead, we'll just follow Hongli and do a good job. We'll do whatever he says."

"Right, right, right. We're all veterans of the base. You can't forget about us just because you have a good place now. And let me tell you, be careful of that Li Chenzhou. We can't let him control this new home. Hongli still needs to be our leader! We don't trust him!"

"Well! Li Chenzhou is too young after all. A young man can't be trusted. Let him be the captain of the search team and go to the city to search for resources every day. He's still very strong."

Listening to the discussions of the survivors around them, the expressions on the faces of those survivors who had been to the war fortress and had already obtained the qualifications to enter the small world suddenly became very strange.

They all knew that the war fortress was created by Li Chenzhou, and the small world was naturally his as well. These guys were already trying to squeeze Li Chenzhou out before they were even sure they could get in?

They all knew why these survivors wanted to squeeze Li Chenzhou out so much because Li Chenzhou's team was more ruthless, while Hongli was much gentler. Therefore, these survivors naturally wanted to squeeze Li Chenzhou out.

Another point was that some of these survivors were also ambitious. Wang Zifeng was able to control Hongli and Jin Yuan and seize control of the base. So, if Li Chenzhou was squeezed out, the relatively safe small world would only have Hongli as the leader, and they might have a chance to replace Hongli like Wang Zifeng did!

"You should stop thinking about who will be the leader first because… you probably won't be able to enter that small world. Leader Li said that the opportunity only comes once. If you don't grasp it, then it won't come again. So, you may have to survive in this base in the future!"

A survivor with the qualification to enter the small world couldn't help but interrupt those people's self-righteous chatter and told them what he had heard before.

"What? Not letting us up? On what basis?"

The survivors immediately exploded when they heard this, as if someone had stolen their things:

"We are all people from this base. Wang Zifeng seized the leadership because Jin Yuan and Hongli were not good enough and didn't see Wang Zifeng's wolfish ambitions. What does it have to do with us?"

"That's right. Since this base appeared here with us, it belongs to all of us. What qualifications does he have to not let us in?"

"Don't worry about so much. If you don't let us go up with you, then no one should go up. It would be better for everyone to stay!"

"Yes, grab them and don't let them go up either. If you want to let them go back, unless you take all of us back with you!"

"Everyone, unite and don't let anyone go! Leave them all behind. If we go up, we go up together, or we all stay, and no one leaves!!!"

"Quick, stop them!"

"…"

As soon as one person took the initiative to hug the survivor next to him who had come down to show him the video, shouting and inciting others, the other survivors who were not qualified to enter the small world also took action. They all reached out and grabbed the survivors in their midst, not letting them leave!

"This… what should we do?"

Seeing this situation, Hongli's face became very ugly. He turned to look at Li Chenzhou beside him and asked.

"It's very simple! Usually at this time, I like to reason with them like this!"

Li Chenzhou smiled, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, saying:

"Xiao Qing! It's up to you. Shoot accurately and don't hurt our people!"

"Understood!"

Xiao Qing responded immediately.

Li Chenzhou gave Hongli the highest authority over this war fortress, but because he was the buyer, his authority was still the highest, and no one could take it away. Even in the fortress, Li Chenzhou's orders always had the highest priority. If he was not satisfied with Hongli, he could even cancel all of Hongli's permissions.

Therefore, upon hearing Li Chenzhou's order, the intelligent brain Xiao Qing naturally executed it immediately.

So, under Li Chenzhou's order, many round holes suddenly appeared at the bottom of the war fortress, some thick and some thin. Then, silver-white metal tubes protruded from the round holes.

Seeing these metal tubes, the survivors below gasped. Without anyone telling them, they could guess that these were definitely gun barrels!

So, those who were holding the survivors who were qualified to enter the small world quickly pushed the people they were holding in front of them to block their bodies, shouting:

"Fire if you dare! See who dies first? I'm telling you, don't be too greedy. It's the end of the world now, and we humans need to unite. There are already so few people. If you kill us all and only leave you with these few people, do you think you can continue to carry on humanity?"

"That's right! There's so much space in the fortress that you can't possibly use it all. What's wrong with sharing some with us? Humanity has reached the point of life and death. You're still so selfish. Do you want humanity to be destroyed?"

"Hmph, if you don't want to let us go up, then don't even think about having a good time. Either you kill us all, or even if I die, I'll have to drag this guy down with me. Damn it, he used to be just a small employee in my department. Why is he doing better than me in this damn world?"

"…"

The survivors who went down were all caught by the survivors who stayed at the base. Those people were all threatening the people in the war fortress with a crazy look, as if they were all going all out for that small world!

The main reason was that they knew very well that once they let these people go now, they wouldn't live long either. They definitely wouldn't be able to protect this base. And now, if they were to seek refuge in other bases, they would have nowhere to go.

The surrounding survivor bases were basically related to Li Chenzhou and were all built with his help. If they went to seek refuge in those bases, let alone whether they would take them in, even if they did, they would probably be cleaned up when they saw Li Chenzhou in the future.

Therefore, they felt that this was their last chance, and they had to seize it. As for those gun barrels, they were indeed scary, but they didn't believe that Hongli would dare to fire—after all, he used to be their leader, and these survivors knew that Hongli was still very easy to talk to and was not the kind of cruel and murderous person!

Moreover, the law does not punish the masses, and they also had hostages in their hands. As long as they persisted, Hongli would eventually have to compromise and take them into the small world as well…
