"Let''s go before the zombies get here." Old Liu pointed out.

Everyone began moving again as they quickly realized it was still nowhere near safe to argue back with Zhen Ti.

But many of them had their back turned as if they were preparing Zhen Ti in case he shot again.

However, Zhen Ti didn''t shoot again as he remained silent the whole way through to the semi-truck, with his gun in his pocket.

---

"Everyone drop your gun and any dangerous weapon on the box over there." One of the soldiers standing near the semi-truck directed.

"Why should we give up our weapons?" One of the survivors yelled.

Seeing the crowd of survivors becoming rowdier and rowdier, the lone soldiers immediately dial his superior.

"What happened?" A soldier with captain rank asked as he walked towards the lone soldier.

"They aren''t giving up their weapons. What should I do, captain?"

Without any hesitation, the captain pulled out his rifle and aimed it right toward the crowd.

"If you want to keep your weapon, leave. If you want to get on this ride, follow our rules, and we''ll guarantee your safety. thank you for using NovelFire _l _e _mpy _r

I don''t care if you get to keep your weapon in Qingyuan. We in Luoping have different rules.

This is my last warning. We''ll be leaving in three minutes. If you don''t start moving, we''ll leave without you guys."

As the crowd hesitated to obey the order and began chattering among themselves, the captain began moving his finger toward the trigger.

"I-I surrender my weapon."

One of the survivors in the front immediately threw their guns into the box, then headed inside the open trailer on the semi-truck.

"So everyone here is leaving on their own?" the captain asked as he pulled the trigger again.

"N-No sir!"

After another person put their weapon in the box, more and more began joining in and putting their weapon into the box.

However, as the large group headed toward the semi-truck, the lone soldier stopped them again.

"No melee weapon either. We''ll provide all the safety you need."

The crowd once again started chatting, but a few groups within the crowd quickly threw their melee weapons away and went inside the semi-trucks.

"Just a reminder, all the spots are first to get first serve."

Hearing the captain''s warning, the entire crowd immediately began throwing their melee weapon into the box and heading inside different semi-trucks.

Soon enough, almost several empty boxes that used to hold ammo were full of guns and melee weapons.

As more and more survivors came in and lined up to enter the semi-trucks, a soldier with the rank of Major suddenly walked in and whispered something to the captain.

"Zhen Ti, you ready to explain yourself in front of Commander Xiaoyun?" Lingang curiously asked as the zombies were now far back in the distance.

"I... I don''t know. I fucked up too much... He even told me to watch out for the metro entrances, and I still wasn''t prepared for it."

As Zhen Ti looked down at his hand, he suddenly could see blood all over it. But it quickly disappeared as Lingang spoke up again.

"Don''t worry. I''ll try to ask Commander Xiaoyun for a lenient sentence... But how did you fucked up this hard, though? What was Zhen Ren doing?"

Zhen Ti sat in silence for a second, then answered.

"I had my army split up into three groups, each holding their assigned metro entrances. Then I asked Zhen Ren to stay in the middle of the city at the training field we set up as a quick response force.

But last night, a mysterious group of shadowy figure zombies appeared in the street and attacked several of the night patrols. Then, the metro entrance blew up out of nowhere.

Before I knew it, all three of the army were lost... I tried to send people to Zhen Ren to request help, but those shadowy figures killed every single messenger.

And soon enough, I''m pretty sure they were facing zombies from their side as well."

Hearing Zhen Ti''s answer, Lingang''s confusion was finally answered as he connected all the dots in his head.

"Damn. It really isn''t your fault, then... Ahem, Pi Gang, how long do we have to drive before we get back to Luoping?"

"About two or three hours, sir."

"Okay... Crap, I forgot to send a messenger to Xiaoyun."

Lingang quickly turned on his walkie-talkie transmission and directed the radio operator to send a signal to Xiaoyun.

---

"What the hell is taking Lingang so long?" Xiaoyun wondered as it was now seven in the morning.

"Sir, Commander Ningjing just reported they had successfully reunited its troops."

"Good, tell them to head back to Luoping. There''s no need for them to head back here. You can go now."

As the radio operator left the room, Xiaoyun sat still in his room and waited.

Only after another thirty minutes does Xiaoyun finally receive another piece of information.

"Commander Xiaoyun, Lingang had changed his direction and heading towards Luoping since there were too many zombies chasing after them."

"Huh... No wonder why it took them so long. You can go now... Actually, tell everyone to get ready. We''re leaving soon."

Xiaoyun immediately began packing up everything as the radio operator excitedly ran out of the room.

When Xiaoyun headed out of the tent, everyone was already inside their vehicle, with everything packed.

"Everyone, we''re finally heading back home!"

Hearing the word out of Xiaoyun''s mouth, all the soldiers began celebrating as they were finally able to rest a little inside their vehicle after being awake since three in the morning.

"Finally... I''m so tired."

The alternate Tianci suddenly came back for a second to stated her complain out loud before disappearing again as the normal Tianci started up the car.
