CHAPTER 279: CHAPTER 279: CATCHING UP THE NEW MEMBERS

"Don’t scare them, Ah Zhen." This time Ouyang Jin wasn’t formal and called Lu Zhen by the name he had usually called him with as they were friends in this life.

Lu Zhen looked away without bothering anyone.

Only then did the new members feel a little relieved and let out the breath they didn’t know they were holding.

"Well, what we are talking about also concerns you as human beings and as members of this team.

The first day you were brought back, you were briefed about our purpose of fighting zombies in the apocalypse and probably freeing the world off those monsters.

I remembered telling you that our team was unique and if you wanted to join, you had to be prepared for anything.

You said that as long as you could contribute to making the world safer for survivors, you were willing to fight alongside us.

Now, I would like to inform you about another layer to our team. After you hear this, I hope even if you decide to leave, you will leave whatever you hear in this room.

We cannot afford any more traitors, so I need you to understand that if you divulge this information to anyone else you and whoever you told will be eliminated.

And don’t say that technology is completely broken and there are no CCTV cameras or other types of surveillance so we won’t know.

Trust me, we will know. So, before I tell you anything, are you willing to abide by these rules? If not, you can choose to walk out now. No one will say or ask anything of you, but keep this group and location a secret." Ouyang Jin never wanted to force anyone to fight with them because where they were heading was dangerous.

He felt that it was better to give them one last chance to regret their decision. If they didn’t, then they would truly have become one of them.

Seeing that no one was leaving even after they heard everything he said, he smiled and was gratified that he didn’t get Vanish to exert effort in saving them in vain.

"Alright, since none of you is leaving, then I will tell you what you need to know." Just as Ouyang Jin was about to start narrating, he was stopped by Lu Zhen who raised his hand.

Everyone turned to look at him wondering if he had anything against telling these people the truth. But according to his character, if he wanted to stop this, he would have stopped it before Ouyang Jin said so much.

So, what did he mean by that?

Lu Zhen was actually thinking about the effect of that video Leng Pan had shown everyone. He thought that its impact was more convincing and powerful than any narrative.

Therefore, he was thinking about how to do the same for these people. Not only for the new members, but also his old friends.

Even though they had the memories, he thought that witnessing everything again might stimulate their fighting spirit further, especially now that they knew the aliens were already here.

"Who has a water-type superpower here?" Lu Zhen asked.

Everyone else turned to look at Sonny, the bespectacled guy who was always quiet.

"I do, Commander Lu, what can I do for you?" Sonny asked respectfully.

He had deep respect for both Lu Zhen and Leng Pan, people who sacrificed everything to ensure the survival of humanity.

"Could you make a screen with your water ability? Make it stable, like a TV screen." Lu Zhen wanted the same effect as the one Leng Pan created, therefore, he demanded the same standards.

"Yes I can." Even though he didn’t know what the commander wanted to do, he still followed his instructions and made the screen in the middle of the room.

With this screen, when everything starts showing, people on both sides of the screen will see the same images.

Once the screen was ready, Lu Zhen tapped into the memories he had after watching those scenes and transferred them on to the screen.

The images this time started with a peaceful high-tech earth with people living their lives without worry. Then it changed to the same world with some ruins and zombies roaming the streets eating humans.

The scenes kept changing until it showed the war between the surviving humans, aliens, zombies, and the traitors of humanity.

It didn’t end until it showed how Leng Pan sacrificed herself to make sure the other survivors escaped successfully before blowing everything else up, including herself.

By the time the images disappeared on the water screen, the old members of Lu Zhen’s team were crying so badly that they were almost out of breath.

They were in the battlefield when the order to enter the city and begin lockdown was given.

They had obeyed the orders and entered the city, they also knew that Leng Pan had pushed Lu Zhen back into the city at the last moment before the doors closed.

Well, that image had also been displayed, so it was very fresh in their minds. What they never knew was that after the city had completely disappeared into another space, Leng Pan had used herself as a living bomb to take down everything that was left on earth.

Because of the high technology at that time, it wasn’t a big deal to make a bomb that could blow up the entire world. But having someone turn themselves into that bomb was unimaginable.

That was why they were so sad that they couldn’t stop crying. They never imagined that the commander who always had an icy expression would sacrifice herself for the survivors to live.

Even the usually steady Ouyang Jin, Momo, and Sonny were shaken by this revelation.

At this moment, everyone vowed not to allow the commander to be forced into making such a choice again.

"Why would she do that? She could have ran back into the city before the gate fully closed." Su Yan was the most affected apart from Lu Zhen.

"Then the city would have been attacked and its entry to space affected. All the efforts would have been in vain." Lu Zhen said with a hoarse voice.

Even though he was aware of all this, he still wished that his beloved had been selfish and done exactly what Su Yan said.
