Chapter 028 Auntie!
After the base commander and Li Maoran and others retreated back to the base.
Meng Shisan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
Once these people leave, there will be no armed forces on the ground that can pose a threat to them.
Despite having dozens of people, Yan Zhiyu's group was no match for the base commander. They would die without even knowing how they died. The disparity in numbers was too great, there were no safe places to defend, and under the threat of firearms, all beings were equal.
"They won just like that?" Lu Ping exclaimed excitedly. "They weren't all that great after all. They were forced to retreat by just a few dozen of us?"
"Were they forced back by you?" Xie Linyuan said, then looked at the city wall that they had previously destroyed, and asked Meng Shisan, "What should we do with these people?"
I think many of them are almost out of breath. If they don't come to a decision soon, they're probably going to really fight to the death.
A final, desperate attack is especially deadly.
Meng Chengan nodded; this was also a concern of his.
Ultimately, apart from those known as pioneers, very few people in the entire base could actually survive in the wasteland.
They blew up the city walls, and the air inside and outside mingled, causing many people to feel unwell.
This is also why the base commander and his team had to quickly retreat to the bunker.
After thinking for a moment, Meng Shisan picked up the microphone and said, "I'll say it again: if you want to go back to the bunker and continue to be someone's slave, I won't stop you."
But from now on, no one will be able to leave the bunker without my approval.
After all, cowards don't deserve to enjoy the fruits of victory.
Of course, I welcome those who wish to stay.
Although this world is cruel, I firmly believe that as long as we are united, we can't defeat God!
Someone once told me that the most direct proof that we are still alive is breathing.
Exhaling is letting out a breath, inhaling is fighting for a breath.
Today, we've vented our anger, but what about the pride we fought for?
Look up and see, the heavens are watching, grinning and laughing at us.
They mocked our cowardice, our selfishness, and our greed.
They talk about conquering the world, but they don't even have the courage to leave their base.
Alright, that's all I wanted to say.
At this point, Meng Shisan suddenly shouted, "Xie Linbo!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Linbo, carrying a gun, came running out from somewhere excitedly and asked, "Where do we need to bomb? I've already arranged all the entrances to the fortresses; I guarantee you'll bomb wherever you point!"
Meng Shisan was exasperated; this guy was truly a warmonger.
"Don't bomb it yet. Send people to guard entrance number four. Ignore the other entrances for now."
After saying that, Meng Shisan looked at the crowd in the square and said, "Those who want to retreat back to the bunker, except for entrance number four, should enter in order."
After he finished speaking, countless people began to surge towards the various entrances.
As for what Meng Shisan said, they listened to it, but that was all.
No matter how much you say, nothing is more important than being alive.
Of course, some remained, but the number was small, less than one in ten.
Before leaving, someone deliberately walked to the vicinity of the platform and explained, "We also want to stay, but we won't live long on the ground..."
Meng Shisan nodded: "I understand and respect your decision, but I also hope you can respect my rules."
After saying that, Meng Shisan turned to look at Yang Jiu.
Seeing this, the man wisely left, looking somewhat forlorn as he departed.
He wanted to stay, but he was afraid of dying...
Yang Jiu, who ran over with a grin, shook his head and said, "That's human nature. Cowardice is their original sin."
"You little rascal, you're getting all artsy now?" Meng Shisan was a little unaccustomed to his words. This guy who always talked about traditional Chinese culture was now pretending to be a cultured person.
"You don't know anything! I'm just trying to comfort you, afraid you'll be disappointed in what you've done," Yang Jiu shouted upon hearing this.
Meng Shisan sighed, but he didn't argue. Judging from this guy's consistent behavior, he probably really was that kind of person.
"After everyone has retreated, I will only leave entrance number four open, and blow up all the other entrances."
You and your people wait at Entrance 4 until they bring the child out.
"Okay, don't worry about that. They're all our own children, and we'll definitely take good care of them."
As Yang Jiu spoke, he glanced at Xie Linbo and the others. Seeing Meng Shisan nod, he then said, "After Liu Jiaming and his buddies retreated, we cleaned up the battlefield and retrieved nearly a hundred guns. What are your plans for them?"
"Put them away for now, we'll talk about it later." Meng Shisan didn't have a great need for firearms, but they still needed to be properly managed.
Just because he's not afraid doesn't mean others aren't.
"Okay then." Yang Jiu was about to head to Entrance Four when he suddenly turned back and said, "That Cao Er guy is a bit difficult to deal with. He seems to have really broken down."
Hearing him say that, Meng Shisan looked towards the pioneers and saw Cao Er looking dejected, as if his soul had been taken away.
He immediately shook his head: "There's nothing we can do. The base used to be his faith, but now that he's woken up from his dream and his faith has been shattered, it's normal for him to have this kind of reaction."
He really couldn't bring himself to laugh at Cao Er.
Putting everything else aside, this is definitely a person with faith and aspirations, and who is willing to give everything for them.
"It depends on him. If he can get through this, it will be a rebirth for him. If he can't, then his journey has come to an end."
After saying that, Meng Shisan looked at the square and saw that quite a few people were still standing in the same spot and had not moved.
Some people were even sitting on the ground, gasping for breath because they couldn't catch their breath.
Seeing this, Meng Shisan immediately picked up the microphone and said to them, "Everyone, spread out and don't crowd together. Let the air circulate."
Meng Shisan's attitude towards these people was completely different.
Regardless of their past or whether they had any ulterior motives for staying on the ground, at least at this moment, Meng Shisan was willing to believe in them.
The word "courage" is easy to say, but putting it into practice is far more difficult.
Upon hearing this, everyone did as instructed.
When it comes to survival in the wilderness, Meng Shisan is the absolute authority.
After they dispersed, Meng Shisan said, "I know that many of you are now experiencing shortness of breath and difficulty breathing."
At this time, don't rush, relax. Breathe slowly, in small sips.
"Ah, it really works!"
Someone did as instructed and immediately felt much more relieved.
"Your breathing technique is so effective?" Yan Zhiyu asked with some surprise. "Can we use it in the wasteland?"
Meng Shisan shook his head: "At least not for now. They are effective because the oxygen supply system in the square has never stopped."
Although the city wall collapsed, outside air was able to get in.
But how big is the opening in the collapse?
Even if the entire city wall collapses, it will still take time for the outside air to dilute the oxygen produced by the oxygen supply system.
Besides, the reason they were out of breath was simply because they were too nervous; they felt that if the city walls collapsed, the ground would be no different from a wasteland.
This is compounded by their deep-seated fear of the wilderness.
Even if you told them right now that shouting "I'm the best!" would relieve the pain, they'd probably believe you, and it would probably work.
As he spoke, Yan Zhiyu glanced at the oxygen supply system around the square, then suddenly gasped and turned to Meng Shisan, asking, "You planned all of this from the beginning?"
"Pretty much. I hate the base's so-called safe zone, but I also understand that if we want to conquer this world, we need a buffer zone. Look, isn't this the best buffer zone right now?"
As Meng Shisan spoke, he looked at those who remained and smiled, "Reclaiming wasteland is never the obligation of any one group. Since you all want to conquer this world, then come and reclaim it with me!"
"This could kill a lot of people," Yan Zhiyu sighed.
She disliked the actions of the base's higher-ups, but she harbored no ill will towards these ordinary people.
Meng Shisan remained unmoved: "So what if I die? In this world, everyone dies eventually, including you and me. It's just a matter of time."
Since they chose to stay, it means they were prepared to die, including you, right?
"The children are out." Just then, Xie Linyuan suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Meng Shisan turned his head and glanced at her. He saw Xu Xin carrying a little girl and walking at the front.
"It seems the base is afraid I'll harm anyone who comes out, so they actually sent Xu Xin?"
If we're talking about the entire base, the person he knows best is undoubtedly Xu Xin.
Whether before or after his time travel, he almost always had memories of this woman.
"Never mind, Yang Jiu will handle it." After saying that, Meng Shisan was about to leave when the little girl in his arms turned her head and glanced at him, suddenly saying, "Daddy, it's Auntie, it's Auntie."
Meng Shisan asked with a smile, "Is Yi Yi Er Er's friend?"
"No, it's Auntie, Aunt Xu Xin, Mom's sister."
When the little girl finished speaking, Meng Shisan was struck dumb!
His face instantly darkened...
"Xu Xin!" he gritted his teeth.
