Hearing Xiao Hu's words, Zhu Haitao couldn't help but look at the horde of corpses below. That's right, he definitely couldn't break through such a dense horde. Rushing up to try, maybe he just wanted peace of mind in his death?

"Also, Mayor, look at the people below. They followed you all the way here, and they haven't asked a single question about why you're going in the direction of the zombies. Many of them even joined along the way.

They're all here for you. They believe that their mayor can lead them out of this crisis, onto a path! A path to survival!!!"

Xiao Hu pointed to the convoy below:

"Now, you want us to take them away. Do you think they'll listen to our orders? They only believe in you because you're their mayor. They're willing to follow you and listen to you. Who else can make so many people obey orders?

Mayor, if you really make that choice, I can guarantee that when they see you torn apart by zombies, it won't just be your wife and Xiao Yuan who break down, but them too. This convoy will immediately fall apart, and everyone will scatter and run away. In the end, who knows how many people will successfully escape the city!

Mayor, your wife and the others are trapped now, but they're not in danger. The access control in your residential area is very strict, and the zombies can't break through!

As long as they have food, they can hold on for a while, so why don't we take people away first, establish a base outside the city as you said, stabilize, and then come back and find a way to rescue your wife and the others!"

"Can... they still be saved?"

Zhu Haitao looked at the horde of corpses below, a little despairingly.

"At least there's still some hope!"

Xiao Hu said:

"Before today, no one knew the world would become like this. So, we can't predict what will happen tomorrow. What if... there really is a chance to save your wife and the others? As long as we're alive, anything is possible!!!"

"Yes, Mayor! At least, if you rush over to save your wife and the others now, it won't do anything but send you to your death for nothing. So you might as well take the people below away first, and we'll stabilize outside!"

Xiao Li also persuaded from the side:

"Among so many people, there must be all kinds of talented people. When the time comes, discuss it with them, and everyone can brainstorm ideas. Maybe you can save your wife and the others!"

Hearing the two men's words, Zhu Haitao looked at his wife and children again. Then, he looked around and found a piece of cardboard. After picking it up, Zhu Haitao took out a pen, and as soon as he wrote a stroke on it, he realized that the writing was too thin, and they couldn't see it clearly over there!

"I'll go downstairs and find a marker!"

Xiao Li shouted immediately, then turned and rushed down!

"No need!"

Zhu Haitao immediately stopped him. Then, he raised his hand, put his index finger in his mouth, and bit it open forcefully. He used blood to write three big characters on it:

"Hold on!"

Afterwards, Zhu Haitao held up the cardboard, with the side with the words facing his home. At the same time, he picked up the binoculars and looked over!

Zhong Xueqing also saw the movement here, so she took the binoculars from Xiao Yuan's hand and looked over herself.

When she saw those two words, the excitement on Zhong Xueqing's face disappeared. However, she looked at the horde of corpses below, and knew that Zhu Haitao and the others really couldn't get through. So, she nodded vigorously towards this side, then picked up Xiao Yuan and waved goodbye to his father with him!

Seeing their actions, Zhu Haitao couldn't help it anymore, and tears welled up in his eyes. He didn't care that they couldn't hear him at all, and shouted loudly in that direction:

"I will save you, I promise!"

After saying that, Zhu Haitao turned around and rushed down the rooftop without looking back. Xiao Hu and Xiao Li looked at each other, and the two waved towards that side together. Xiao Hu also held the cardboard with the words "Hold on" written on it and shook it at them again. Then, they turned around and went downstairs, chasing after Zhu Haitao!

"Xiao Yuan! Daddy will find a way to save us. We just need to hold on for a few days, understand?"

Looking at the rooftop opposite with no figures anymore, Zhong Xueqing hugged Xiao Yuan and said softly, both comforting her son and giving herself confidence...

And Zhu Haitao, after going downstairs, because he had already made a decision in his heart, no longer hesitated and led the team back the way they came.

On the way back, Zhu Haitao kept restraining the team, not allowing them to stop to collect supplies, but kept hurrying on, and would rescue people along the way.

He knew that although they had just obtained a large amount of supplies, for the end of the world, the supplies were definitely far from enough, but now was definitely not a good time to collect supplies.

And so, rescuing people and escaping all the way, they finally successfully escaped from Jin City. Moreover, when they left Jin City, their team had reached a scale of more than 30,000 people!

Zhu Haitao could be said to be quite familiar with the surroundings of Jin City. So, without careful investigation, he directly led everyone to the Ling River and ordered them to use cars to surround a huge circle by the Ling River!

At that time, he hadn't yet expanded the Ling River into the base, and strictly speaking, it wasn't even a base, because it was already late when they came back. So, Zhu Haitao simply used vehicles to surround an area, and then put up all the tents he had taken from the war reserve depot before, and everyone barely made it through the night!

And that night, Zhu Haitao didn't sleep. There were already many officials around him. He asked these officials to find some construction talents among the survivors, and asked if anyone in the city center was the most familiar with it.

Then, all night, Zhu Haitao was discussing with everyone, designating many plans, and assigning people to be responsible. Early tomorrow morning, it would be fully launched!

Zhu Haitao was very short on time now. He had to get the base up and running as soon as possible. Only in this way could these survivors settle down and temporarily stabilize the situation.

This would definitely take a process, and Zhu Haitao had calculated in his mind that there was some food in their home. Basically, if they saved a little, it wouldn't be a problem for more than ten days.

And Zhu Haitao planned to set up the framework of the base within a week, and gradually get on the right track, arrange all the things, and then it would be time for him to rescue his wife and children.

Fortunately, there were quite a few people in the leadership team following him. They had all assisted Zhu Haitao in managing Jin City before. Being able to govern a city, this small base was not a problem.

So, early the next morning, under the leadership of Zhu Haitao's leadership team, the vigorous infrastructure work officially began...
