「Boss, that bunch of scumbags want to defect to Dragon Peace, what should we do? 」

Translation: "Boss, that bunch of scumbags wants to defect to Long An; what should we do?" Need to keep quotes? The Chinese uses 「」 which are quotation marks. We can keep as English quotes? Usually we keep the same punctuation: use English double quotes? The instruction didn't specify to change quotation marks. We'll keep the Chinese quotes? Better to use English double quotes for readability. But we must not add explanatory words. We'll keep the meaning. Use double quotes.

If there's no hope, it's fine; even if he lives like a dog, barely surviving, he's still alive.

Translation: "If there were no hope, it would be fine; even if he lived as a dog, scraping by would still be living."

Translation: "But now, having finally found hope, there is a Safe Zone willing to take them in, and there is a chance to escape from here..."

No matter what he said, he would no longer be timid and hesitant—he lowered his head!

He can tolerate this place, but the child...

The middle-aged man glanced at his underage daughter in his arms, and a myriad of grief and indignation welled up in his heart.

My daughter absolutely cannot stay here! These people are just a bunch of beasts!

The crowd's emotions were inflamed.

Without hope, without the words Lin An spoke, they would never dare to resist the Awakened Ones of the gathering place no matter what.

But Lin An's word is deed; the scene of him wiping out other forces happened not long ago.

At this moment, they already fully believe Lin An will do what he says, and Long'an Base will certainly not be the slanderous image people speak of.

Lin An is so strong, he fundamentally doesn't need to deceive us!

Holding the same thought, the successive angry roars demanding the door be opened startled several Awakened Ones, making them a bit timid for a moment.

"Crazy... these people are all crazy!"

The Awakened One beside the scar-faced man grabbed his older brother, gesturing for him not to act rashly.

These useless lot believe Lin An; aren't they also afraid?

9 forces, several thousand Awakened Ones, saying kill and they kill, all within less than two hours...

Under this intimidation, they also believe Lin An will definitely do what he says.

If they really tried to stop these people, that would be like lighting a lantern in a toilet—utterly pointless.

"Hold it... if we can't stand it, we'll just let these useless lot go; the boss hasn't shown up yet..."

They didn't dare to act.

The scar-faced man looks fierce, but he actually cherishes his own life greatly.

Seeing that he couldn't scare these survivors who wanted to escape, he momentarily didn't know what to do.

Just then.

"Boss Feng is here! Make way!"

"Everyone quiet! Listen to Brother Feng!"

He was flanked by attendants.

The stocky Feng Yi came striding over, his face grim.

Just seeing his own "woman" among the escaping crowd made him nearly fly into a rage.

He suppressed his anger, completely changed his previous fierce demeanor, and forced out a smile:

"Brothers, if there's anything, let's discuss it properly."

"This gathering place wasn't easy to build; I, Feng Yi, have at least saved your lives, right?"

Saved our lives?

As soon as he said that, many survivors couldn't help cursing him in their hearts.

Obviously we were hiding in the auto repair city, and then you occupied it!

These days, where have you killed any zombies?

Hiding here every day, oppressing survivors for pleasure, the number of people who died at Feng Yi's hands is probably even higher than those who died in the zombies' mouths.

The crowd suppressed their grief and indignation, coldly staring at the former leader of the gathering place, their eyes full of hostility and resolve.
