Chapter 144: Another wave
Jia Ming, his family as well as those he had some interactions with gathered together and form a few dozen strong team. Surrounding them were evolved like Mo Ye, Little Tiger etc. They looked towards the east and were waiting for something.
Many fleeing survivors noticed this weird team but when they saw that person holding a white weapon, they were filled with fear.
Suddenly, a signal flare shot up from the east. The group was already ready and they made their move.
Little Tiger, Mo Ye, Liang Chuyin held their guns and fired into the sky. The sudden gunshot caused people around to shout. They instinctively ran away from the gunshot. This scattered crowd was forced together once more.
They fled towards a building where a giant bonfire was lit up. The flames burnt really strongly and lit this area up.
Da Ming stood in front of a window on the second floor and found a speaker which he used to shout into.
“Hear my orders, stop!”
His voice made those people slow down. The light from the bonfire helped to chase away some of their panics.
Then, Jia Ming led the people he found and all of them shouted the same thing. They held everything that could shine so that the people around stopped.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLittle Tiger and the other evolved played a crucial part too. They placed their guns forwards and immediately many people stopped.
The chaotic night was exactly like that, if there was chaos, everyone would join in.
But the moment there was light and someone giving orders, people would quickly stabilise once more.
First was a few dozen that stopped running, then were a few hundred, then a few thousand. Bit by bit, the western region started to calm down.
Jia Ming took the speaker and told everyone to return to their homes. He also told everyone that the base was safe and there were no zombies inside. Along with Da Ming and Little Tiger’s help, the situation stabilised. They even organised some small groups to extinguish the flames.
Of course, there were some that didn’t want the peace. The chaos brought them many benefits. Not only did they get food, they even tasted some women.
They didn’t show any politeness towards these people. The few women beat them up such that they couldn’t move but people like Little Tiger and Liang Chuyin were more merciless, directly killing them.
Such vicious methods were extremely useful to calm down the chaos.
The East was similar too. Li Qiang led people out from the Ocean Community District and evacuated the crowd, chasing them from the sides of a building into the building. The east region didn’t have many people and they had sufficient manpower so things were much smoother than the west.
Ye Zhongming naturally helped too. After all, the East was where the evolved lived. Those people who fled from Ye Zhongming’s attack and their relatives were people who were used to living lawlessly in the area. They weren’t happy to be managed. But Ye Zhongming suppressed them and they yielded.
This process caused Li Qiang’s eyes to open wide. Although Ye Zhongming didn’t show his strength, but Li Qiang was still terrified of how this young man could kill evolved like he was drinking water. He was fortunate that he knew his place and agreed to stand out to stabilize the bases.
The east and the west were stable now so the chaos in the remaining two districts didn’t last for much longer. The people entered the two districts and calmed down the people there.
When the entire base was calm, the sky started to light up. Ye Zhongming, Li Qiang, Jia Ming, Little Tiger etc gathered at the center of the base and discussed some problems.
Many people died last night. As long as it was in a more central area, one could see corpses. The weather was quite high so the corpses had to be cleared.
“I am planning to send out a recruitment message to hire people to clear the base. This is all thanks to the food that Chef Jin and Director Wang left. With this food as payment, I think many people would be willing to do this job.”
LI Qiang was asked by Ye Zhongming to occupy the food storage. He fought with the guards there and after paying a small price they occupied that area and also obtained a large amount of food.
“This method can be used in many ways like strengthening the base, clearing trash, cleaning, expanding etc, also…”
Ye Zhongming listened to Jia Ming talk to the people and was filled with admiration for him. This young man was not bad, he did everything in an orderly manner.
But he frowned subsequently. He looked around and didn’t notice anything weird. He lowered his body and stuck his ear to the ground to listen closely.
Although Ye Zhongming was not standing with them, but be it Jia Ming who just adapted to his role as the leader, or people that respect him like Li Qiang, they were all paying a bit of attention to him. They understood that this person was the true ruler now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing his actions, they stopped talking and moved over.
“Boss, what happened?”
Ye Zhongming waved and told everyone to calm down. He listened for a few seconds and his expression turned even darker. He stood up and said to Jia Ming, “Arrange people to evacuate the south!”
“Why…”
“Quick!”
Jia Ming wanted to ask but Ye Zhongming interrupted him. Jia Ming stopped and went to arrange for people right away.
Suddenly, everyone felt the ground shake.
This time everyone was able to feel it. They looked at one another but they didn’t know what happened.
“Damn, we are too late!”
Ye Zhongming cursed in annoyance and pulled out Moon Edge, “Jia Ming, arrange people to the south and get them to evacuate. Da Mng, lead Boss Li and his men to set up obstacles from the south towards the other districts. Once the survivors are mostly evacuated or if the situation is bad then seal the roads!”
“The rest of you follow me!” Ye Zhongming’s eyes were filled with killing intent, “Whether or not we can protect the base depends on us!”
