Continue forward to save his wife and children. It was his responsibility as a father and husband. He could even imagine his wife, with a look of terror, hugging their son, hiding in the bedroom, shivering, waiting for him to rescue them.

If he did that, there would indeed be hope for his wife and children to be saved. But what about the people behind him?

Zhu Haitao was certain that what those zombies wanted to do was definitely not to cross the city. They were gathering ahead, and if he continued forward, he would inevitably rush into their heavy encirclement!

"Advance? Or retreat?"

Zhu Haitao repeatedly considered in his heart that if he took the people behind him and charged forward, he would definitely have the opportunity to rescue his wife and children! Even if it was a gathering place for zombies.

If it were just him alone, he really wouldn't be confident. Having watched countless zombie movies, Zhu Haitao deeply knew how terrifying zombies could be once they reached a certain number.

But now, he was leading more than two thousand people. When the time came, these two thousand people would be the best bait for the zombies. He could completely charge forward, leading them into the encirclement of the zombie horde.

With his many years of political experience, he could definitely do it. Then, he could take advantage of the zombies capturing these people, rush into his home with the security guards, rescue his wife and children, and then, under their protection, escape the city in the chaos...

Although there was a possibility of failure, at least there was hope. However, the price would be... those who followed him might all be trapped in the zombie horde, and none of them would be able to escape!

If he really did that, even if he successfully rescued his wife and children, he would not be able to face them. Moreover, what would the security personnel think of him?

Using more than two thousand lives to exchange for two people, just because those two people were his family?

Zhu Haitao clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling. Finally, he struggled to reach out and point towards the city center, saying:

"Increase speed, continue forward!"

"Understood!"

The security guard driving the car responded, stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped forward. The convoy behind him followed closely, with no car falling behind!

Even, as they continued to go against the flow, some survivors who were fleeing outwards, upon discovering that the person sitting in the first car was actually their mayor, even turned their cars around and joined the convoy on their own!

As Zhu Haitao and his team continued to approach the city center, their convoy continued to expand. When they were about two kilometers away from his home, Zhu Haitao finally spoke to the security personnel driving the car:

"Xiao Li! Stop the car!!!"

Xiao Li, who was driving, raised his hand outside the car to make a gesture while slowly stepping on the brakes, bringing the car to a stop. He looked ahead with a solemn expression!

Zhu Haitao was also looking ahead. He knew that he had guessed correctly. The front was indeed the place where zombies gathered, because the streets ahead were already filled with zombies, just like a subway station during rush hour!

In this situation, wanting to rush over was probably harder than ascending to heaven. Even if they drove into it, they would soon be blocked by the dense zombie horde. After losing speed, they could only wait for death!

"Sigh!"

Zhu Haitao let out a helpless sigh, then reached out and pointed to a large building with forty or fifty floors on the right front:

"Charge over there! Then surround the building with people and hold on for a while!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Li, who was driving, looked at the building and couldn't help but grit his teeth. The location of that building was only about five hundred meters away from the edge of the zombie horde, which was not a safe distance.

Moreover, as zombies continued to pour in, the edge of the zombie horde was expanding towards this side. It was estimated that it wouldn't take too long for the building to be completely surrounded by zombies!

However, out of the natural duty to obey orders, Xiao Li didn't ask anything. After agreeing, he drove the car towards the building that Zhu Haitao was pointing at.

"Xiao Hu, bring the trucks and people I asked you to prepare to the front, ready to move things. Remember, we don't have much time, so the speed must be fast! Understood?"

While Xiao Li was driving towards the building, Zhu Haitao picked up the walkie-talkie in front of the car, pressed the talk button, and said into it.

"Yes, Mayor!"

The other side immediately responded. It was another security guard named Xiao Hu.

Basically, in Jin City, everyone who saw Zhu Haitao directly called him Mayor, without adding his surname, because adding the official title after the surname seemed... a bit like scolding someone!

On the way here, Zhu Haitao had already asked Xiao Hu to collect as many trucks as possible along the way, and select some strong people from the team to stand by.

Xiao Hu didn't understand what it meant, but he had to obey the mayor's orders, so he did everything. He even led people into a construction site and drove out more than a dozen dump trucks!

When the car stopped in front of the building, Zhu Haitao immediately jumped out of the car and shouted to Xiao Hu behind him:

"Park all the trucks here. Also, let everyone else come over and help move things!"

Then, Zhu Haitao said to Xiao Li again:

"Take some people to guard the surrounding area, use the cars to surround the building. If zombies really come over, you don't need to save bullets. New weapons will be sent over in a while!"

After speaking, Zhu Haitao turned around and walked towards the building, saying:

"Xiao Hu, have your people follow me, faster, we don't have much time!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Hu responded loudly, then waved his hand to call over the people he had already found, and all followed Zhu Haitao into the building, into the emergency staircase.

After walking down about two floors, Zhu Haitao opened the door of the emergency staircase and walked in...

"My God, Mayor, this is...?"

"This is a strategic reserve of our Jin City!"

Zhu Haitao replied:

"I brought you here to move all these things away. See that? That's the weapons area, that's the food area, that's the canned food area, and that's the fuel area!

And these are all strategic materials, but now, we need these, so I risked bringing you here! Otherwise, with so many of us, what if we encounter a large number of zombies when we rush out? You probably don't have many bullets left in your hands, right?"

Saying that, Zhu Haitao reached out and pointed to the weapons area:

"The firearms inside are enough to arm a field division. With these, we truly have the capital to survive in this apocalypse!

You stay here and watch them empty it out. Don't leave anything that can be taken!"
