Chapter 22 Verifying Li Chenzhou's Mistake

What followed was indeed the time to verify Li Chenzhou's mistake.

When everyone in the base gathered at the sound of the alarm, it was a sea of people. The gathering of hundreds of thousands of people was a grand scene that could never be imagined without seeing it with one's own eyes.

Zhu Haitao stood on the platform at the very front, speaking into the microphone, explaining the current situation facing the base.

To Li Chenzhou's surprise, Zhu Haitao didn't engage in any linguistic artistry but instead described the situation truthfully and carefully, without any concealment.

Upon learning that their base was being targeted by another base, and that the other base had many strong individuals, making it impossible for them to resist, some commotion arose in the crowd. However, with Zhu Haitao's voice, the crowd quieted down again.

Zhu Haitao said:

"Everyone, there's no need to panic. Although we have a few more enemies, this is the apocalypse. We are surrounded by enemies anyway, so we don't care about one more!

I will lead you away, just like leaving our original home. I don't know how long I can lead you through this apocalypse, and I don't know when we will reach the end.

I cannot give you any promises. I only know that as long as I am not dead, I will continue to lead you forward until...the end of this apocalypse, or...the end of our lives!"

Saying that, Zhu Haitao pulled Li Chenzhou to his side and said to the crowd below:

"However, before that, I met this person. His name is Li Chenzhou, and he is also a strong individual. His base is in Qi City, where there is an unfinished resort. Currently, that is their base!

He told me that his base is very safe, and he is willing to help us. However, their base can only accommodate a limited number of people, so it is impossible to take all of us there!

Therefore, he will choose some people with certain specialties that their base lacks, to take to their base. This is so that their base can develop better.

I have accepted his request, so he will choose some of you in a while and take them away with him. After they leave, we will also pack our things and go to the city to get some cars back, and prepare to leave here!

To save time, please remain quiet. When your name is called, come out and stand behind me!"

At this point, Zhu Haitao suddenly turned to look at Li Chenzhou and asked:

"Oh, right, there's another question. If the person you choose has a family, you won't only accept that person and separate them from their family, will you?"

"Of course not!"

Li Chenzhou shook his head immediately!

"That's good!"

Zhu Haitao nodded, then took the base roster that had been prepared from the hand of a person next to him and handed it to Li Chenzhou:

"Everyone's information is here. Take a look yourself, and just tell me the name of whoever you choose!"

After speaking, Zhu Haitao turned his head and shouted to the people below:

"Alright, this may take a while, so everyone, sit down where you are and chat casually, but don't be too loud, and listen for my call. If your name is called, come out on your own initiative!"

As soon as Zhu Haitao finished speaking, the survivors in the square below actually sat down and discussed something with each other in low voices.

Zhu Haitao hadn't told them about being targeted by another base before; they only found out now.

Moreover, they had finally built a home with great difficulty, and it had just started to take shape, but now they had to move? This was difficult for many people to accept.

Although Zhu Haitao had told them to discuss in low voices, there were, after all, hundreds of thousands of people, and the combined sound was still a buzzing noise!

Li Chenzhou took the roster and looked at those survivors who were still abiding by the rules. He already had a decision in his mind, but before that, he wanted to try something!

So, Li Chenzhou lowered his head and opened the roster. He found that the roster was quite well-made, and it was printed. The characters were small, but they were all clear to read.

Moreover, the roster was relatively detailed. In addition to the names, there were also hometowns, genders, ages, birthdays, specialties, and whether they had relatives in the base, all of which were registered on it!

Seeing this, Li Chenzhou breathed a sigh of relief. He had been thinking before that there must be people with the same name among so many people. What if seven or eight or even more people came out when a name was called?

Now it seemed that this worry was definitely gone. If the names were the same, their parents couldn't be the same, right?

Li Chenzhou directly turned the roster to the section marked for construction talents, and then handed the roster to Zhu Haitao:

"We want all the people in this area. Base construction cannot be separated from this kind of talent!"

Zhu Haitao took the roster, looked at Li Chenzhou, and nodded:

"Okay!"

Then, Zhu Haitao turned around and shouted to the people below:

"Alright, I will start calling names now. Those whose names are called, come forward and stand behind me. If you have direct relatives here, you can bring them along too!"

Afterward, Zhu Haitao ignored the reactions of the crowd below and called out the names one by one according to the roster. Sure enough, when he called the names, he would call out the age, gender, and relatives of the person, so there would be no mistakes.

Those who heard their names being called all came out. Some brought several of their family members, while others came out alone.

There were indeed a lot of construction-type talents, because they also included things like bricklayers. Before long, more than a thousand people were standing behind Zhu Haitao, and Zhu Haitao didn't show any sign of stopping!

Li Chenzhou then realized that he had made a mistake. Among these people, there might even be those who moved bricks on the construction site. He had picked a large category. If he had to wait for him to finish reading, wouldn't it take several hours?

Li Chenzhou's time was relatively tight now, and he just wanted to do an experiment, so he stepped forward and interrupted Zhu Haitao:

"Alright, stop reading for now!"

"What? Can your base receive all these people?"

Zhu Haitao turned his head and looked at the more than a thousand people who had come out, and asked with a somewhat stiff expression.

"We'll talk about that later. Now I have a question I want to ask them, is that okay?"

Li Chenzhou said.

"Ask away!"

Zhu Haitao didn't hesitate at all, and directly stepped aside, handing the microphone to Li Chenzhou.

"Everyone, I have a question I want to ask you!"

Li Chenzhou was not polite, stepped forward and said into the microphone:

"But before that, I need to let you know how powerful my base is!"

As he spoke, Li Chenzhou's mind moved, and the chariot parked next to him immediately started on its own and drove to the front of the platform. Then, as if it were a Transformer, it flipped out the weapons mounted on the vehicle body, instantly turning into a fully armed hedgehog...
