Chapter 1715 - 941: Walls Within and Without (Part 2)

Including how those scammers from Southeast Asia created chaos in the Southwest and how they retaliated, so much happened in that month in Southeast Asia. Ju Tianrui talked for a long time before finishing.

After he finished speaking, Zhou Tian, who was filled with righteous indignation, angrily said:

"These scammers should have been dealt with long ago."

However, upon hearing that in the end Ju Tianrui and Director Li wiped out the forces in those three places, he excitedly stood up and smiled, saying:

"That’s so satisfying, you’re truly fierce! It would have been great if we could have joined you on that venture."

His eyes were full of envy.

The team members stationed at the transfer station next to him, including Zhou Tian, all wished they could participate.

Unfortunately, they have been stationed here all along, and usually, there is nothing to do, but that doesn’t mean there’s no danger.

Every night, they are in a tense state; the height of the walls is not enough to provide them with a sense of security.

So, every night they have to take turns on duty in three shifts.

Seemingly to add a bit more security, they began to reinforce the transfer station bit by bit, but they were too few, so progress was slow.

There are too few people, and the surroundings are almost devoid of any survivors; apart from themselves, the ones they see the most are zombies.

Ju Tianrui noticed the longing in Zhou Tian’s heart and patted him on the shoulder, saying:

"How long have you been staying here?"

Zhou Tian looked up, thought for a moment, and said, "Almost three months, I guess. Three months, previously, people from the base could come around four or five times a month on average, and this month, it’s only the second time seeing you guys."

"Well, just now, Director Li ordered that you guys are to return to the Big Camphor Tree Base in a week, so go back and reunite with the brothers," Ju Tianrui said warmly.

Zhou Tian had been following him for a long time since Doomsday, and this was the first time they’d been apart for over three months.

"Mm, mm." Speaking of this, Zhou Tian had a trace of anticipation in his eyes.

He had long wanted to go back to the Big Camphor Tree Base.

If it weren’t for obeying orders to complete the mission of stationing at the transfer station, he wouldn’t have been willing to bring a few people here.

Whether it’s the Big Camphor Tree Base or Oil City, the walls are higher, and there are more people.

At least they can give him a greater sense of security, while here, though his subordinate listens to him, any external disturbance makes them extremely alert, constantly paying attention to outside circumstances.

The pressure is greatest every night when the howls of zombies come from outside, and they don’t dare to sleep too deeply with so few people.

Subsequently, Ju Tianrui spoke of some survivors from the Southwest who came to the Big Camphor Tree Base, including some hidden scammers who stirred up protest activities.

"Despicable! So, have all those people been caught?" Zhou Tian asked, gritting his teeth after hearing about this incident.

He couldn’t understand those foolishly exploited people, saying they can get food by doing tasks. Instead of completing the tasks, they started protesting.

"Now the captain has taken charge of this matter. When I left, they had already captured several hundred. I fear after this incident, Director Li will likely reconsider rules regarding those escaping to this side."

Zhou Tian responded indignantly, "They deserve it!"

The two chatted as dusk began to fall.

....

Meanwhile.

Big Camphor Tree Base.

In the pot city of the First Outer City, it was bustling with people.

A mass of at least five hundred people moved about.

These people were confined by temporary iron nets in a corner under the walls.

Crying and pleas for mercy were constant.

Second Uncle and Third Uncle, along with Uncle and others, stood on the wall, looking down.

Outside the iron nets, Dapao and Yang Tianlong, holding iron rods, struck the nets, "Keep quiet, or we’ll throw you out to feed the zombies."

The noisy voices suddenly quieted down.

"Lao San, it’s been two days of capturing. It should be about done, right?" Second Uncle said, looking at the people below.

Third Uncle, with a cigarette in his mouth, exhaled smoke, letting the wind blow it away.

"Almost. The ones reported over the past two days, the ones on the list, they’re all here. We’ll sweep again tomorrow to see if we missed anyone."

After saying this, Third Uncle looked at the quiet crowd below and then spoke, "Second Brother, how are we to handle these people next, did you and Xiao Yu decide on anything?"

Second Uncle replied, "Xiao Yu’s idea is to just kill them directly, but I feel it’s too wasteful in manpower. I suggest taking them to the Fourth Outer City to do construction, make them labor."

Third Uncle nodded without expressing an opinion.

Whether to kill them or make them labor, he was indifferent.

Uncle, standing nearby, looking at the men and women below, some even teenagers, sighed and said, "Sigh... so many lives, we should investigate thoroughly to avoid wrongful killings."

Second Uncle and Third Uncle were silent for a few seconds, unsure of how to respond.

The main thing is that this protest had escalated to a rebellion.

This was something Li Yu could not tolerate, nor could they.

Perhaps they did not initially intend to rebel, but since they had been swept into this whirlpool, it had to be dealt with rigidly and decisively.

Otherwise, there would be imitators in the future. In such times, gentle measures could not be used; those who deserve to die, must die.
