Chapter 76: This Matter Is Not As Simple As It Seems
As soon as the soldier said this, another soldier standing next to him rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, did you forget that we need to pay for the water and vegetables? Do you think we have money now? Since the end of the world began, we don’t even have a salary."
Hearing what he said, the soldiers sighed at the same time. As he said, they really had no money on them. After a moment of silence, one of them said, "If we don’t have money, then let’s hunt the zombies around the base. No matter what, we still have to clean up those zombies."
After listening to his suggestion, the others thought about it and nodded in agreement. Then he sighed again and said, "There’s no point in us talking about this. If she decides to leave, all our effort will all be for naught."
Another soldier thought for a while and said, "It would be great if she could stay in our base. But we all know the current situation in our base. Besides, haven’t we seen a lot of supernatural beings leave our base these days? I doubt a team as strong as this one will stay here."
Hearing his words, the soldiers looked at the outer ring area and sighed again. Within two days of the sudden heat stroke incident, more than half of the ordinary citizen population died, as did thirty percent of the soldiers. Without supplies and enough manpower, they simply had no way of clearing the corpses scattered around the base.
Seeing their gloomy expressions, one of them clenched his hands and suddenly said, "If those supernatural beings left our base because they were afraid of the plague, then what we have to do is to prevent this from happening."
After finishing speaking, he pointed to the outer ring area and said, "Since our best survival option is that young woman, then we must try our best to keep her here. Brothers, let’s clean up that area!"
The soldiers looked at his eyes filled with fighting spirits, then raised their hands and said in unison: "Yeah!"
The soldiers stationed on the walls and gates are all supernatural beings. Although their ability is still low rank, they have an advantage in numbers.
