Do you two want to come with us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nah, we're good... Wait, it's only Wednesday. Quanzi, weren't you guys supposed to go out on Friday?\" Lianzheng curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, but you know food had been running low for the entire metro lines. So, they relaxed the limitation regarding going out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see... Actually, I have a job for you all. Food guaranteed——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man leading the group instantly accepted Lianzheng's offer, showing zero sign of hesitation despite not knowing what the job was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't want to hear what the job is about first, Cheng Zui?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lianzheng, we have been friends for about one or two years now, no? I trust your character.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Cheng Zui patted him on the shoulder, a surge of emotion rushed over Lianzheng's brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you... But I still want to tell you what this job is going to be like. Can we talk in private for a second?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure. You all, wait for me out here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the men outside sat down on the rail line along with Tingliao, the two went inside the room and closed the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What job is it? Do we need to go outside?\" Cheng Zui quietly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, but we're going to overthrow Shi Ming——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Overthrow? Are you out of your mind? When did you become a lunatic?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Zui's face was in disbelief. He couldn't understand why Lianzheng had suggested something so drastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what if I show you this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lianzheng pulled out his gun, Cheng Zui instantly took a step back, his heart beating faster than ever seeing it pointed at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Where did you get that from?\" Cheng Zui nervously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The army from outside. They contacted me and told me that they wanted to end this whole broken system across the metro stations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But they are outsiders...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the hesitation on Cheng Zui's face, Lianzheng knew he just needed to try a little harder to convince him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Outsiders? We are all the same people living in the same country. Have you lived under here for so long that you have forgotten it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, but——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no but. Think about it: do you think a bunch of police and security guards can defeat the army when they come rolling in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The questions finally make Cheng Zui change as he takes Lianzheng's word to heart, especially the idea that the army is going to be coming soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Couldn't we just wait for them to come over?\" Cheng Zui cautiously asked, still not wanting to risk it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It'll take too long... They are going to clear the zombies outside first. If we want to show our values, we have to take their offer before they pick someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, are you with me or not? Make your choice, Cheng Zui... Just remember, your brothers out there are never going to get enough food from savaging.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short silence, Cheng Zui finally took Lianzheng's offer. He knew the outside was drying up in terms of food as he had already gone out several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, but I want the food payment today. I'm not going to work for free.\" Cheng Zui demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, you'll get your food——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lianzheng could finish talking, the sound of a door knock echoed in the room, followed by Tingliao's voice from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lianzheng, the Boss is here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lianzheng opened the door, Xiaoyun and Kate were standing right at the door with a sealed crate in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lianzheng, you got a lot more people than I thought.\" Xiaoyun complimented as he had already seen all the men standing outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, sir. They follow Cheng Zui. He's the leader of those men,\" Lianzheng clarified, as he didn't want to take credit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Cheng Zui, it's nice to meet you. My name is Songming,\" Xiaoyun said as the two shook hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice to meet you, Mr.Songming. I heard you're from the army?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I'm from the Southern Theater Command in the 74th Army group, 74th Special Operations Brigade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate looked a little surprised by Xiaoyun's answer, but she remained silent and stood behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can supply us with food and guns?\" Cheng Zui directly asked, not wanting to waste time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep... Kate, open the crate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Kate unsealed the crate, the two were stunned by the number of guns inside—twice the amount Xiaoyun had shown before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Cheng Zui's surprise, Xiaoyun took out one of the guns and handed it over to him without even asking if he was going to join his cause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had stored the food in a separate place, but we can go there right now to check if that's what you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need. I trust your words... When do we start?\" Cheng Zui curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun thought for a second, then replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no better day than today. We're going to brute force into this station's elder and force him to step down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I'm not sure if we have enough people——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's enough, Mr.Songming. Those guards at the station won't even fight back when they see someone pull out a gun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Cheng Zui's confidence, Xiaoyun didn't doubt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great, then let's go outside and hand the weapons to our comrades.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men were bored out of their minds as Tingliao refused to give any hints about the men who entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing all of them coming out of the room, they immediately got up from their seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brothers, I have an announcement to make.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Zui cleared his throat as he prepared to make his speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know many of you are sick of living underground and barely scraping by, living like corpses with no purpose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of men didn't flinch a single bit as they didn't understand the purpose of Cheng Zui's bringing up their common struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It all changes today... I had just made a deal to get all the food we needed... With an outsider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know, I know, you guys might be thinking I'm out of my mind. But this man here is from the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, you heard me right. Our country's army. The Southern Theater army from, um... Guangzhou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's facial emotion finally changed as they were surprised by the news that had just been announced. But more importantly, their brain was hooked to the promise of food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, let me ask you all one question: are you willing to follow me in joining the army and getting rid of the evil, corrupt higher-ups who limit the food for themselves?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you willing to risk it to no longer be ruled by a bunch of cronies who look down on us every time they walk past? Even if it means risking your life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short silence was interrupted by a sudden outburst from the crowds, as all of them looked as if they had been waiting for this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You saved my life. I'll always follow you, Brother Cheng!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! We'll follow you, too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Overthrow the corrupt elders!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the men yelled in unison, Cheng Zui knew he had the support and trust of his brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well. We'll overthrow those pigs now!——Guess what? We're not going alone either! The army has supplied us with weapons!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Zui pulled out the gun Xiaoyun had just handed over and threw it into the air, boosting support for the movement to a new high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Comrades, you won't be going alone. I have guns for everyone!\" Xiaoyun added as he signaled Kate to open the crate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Single file, please,\" Kate warned as the crowd of men started to get rowdy before the guns in the crate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the crowd still not listening, Tingliao stepped in front of her and raised his gun into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Single file line or they will be banned from getting one! There's enough gun for everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the threat, the men immediately stopped trying to cut each other and went to the back to wait for their chances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Songming... Can I ask what the next plan is after we take over this station?\" Lianzheng quietly asked on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mobilize every single person to join in the movement, then crack the stations one by one until all of them are under our control,\" Xiaoyun explained his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what if they shoot back?\" Cheng Zui cautiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No revolution is done without blood. All we can do is to minimize it... I hope you all are ready to lose some people along the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two nodded in agreement as they knew their wish of having those in power to step down with zero bloodshed was just a pipe dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we get more people, do we have enough food to afford it?\" Lianzheng raised his concern after hearing Xiaoyun's plan.\u003C\u002Fp>",1514,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","c8684d0f461fa75bbbee78f45a2f7ab5f2f1bf157db44c1a2872d0c7d54eda2f","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-354","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-352",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
