Volume 6: The Twelve Wallfacers Chapter 29: People’s will and the general trend
"Don't come over here!"
The figures of the mother and daughter huddled in the corner to resist were seen by Zhang San who had just returned!
My blood pressure immediately rose.
"Fuck you, don't point at my wife!"
Zhang San grabbed one with his left hand and another with his right hand, and threw the couple out of the dormitory. He then kicked the young man who was forcing his wife and daughter, "Bang!"
The young man was slammed hard against the iron wall of the dormitory, "Ugh! Ah..."
After a muffled thud, the young man rolled around in the corner with blood spurting from his mouth. His mother and grandfather wanted to come over to help, but were glared at by Zhang San with a bloody look!
He was so scared that he dared not to come forward, "You... why did you hit me! Can't you just talk it out? I didn't do anything to you!"
The middle-aged woman put her hands on her hips to give herself courage, and then shouted loudly in a fierce manner.
A young couple outside who were thrown out by Zhang San were lying there, not daring to make a sound. Although they had done something stupid, they knew what kind of force it was like to have a living person of their size grabbed by a hand and thrown out.
It's definitely not something they can contend with!
The two looked at each other, seeing the horror in each other's eyes, and then said in unison: "Superhuman!?"
Inside, Zhao Min looked at her husband who had returned to his 20-something look, her eyes filled with disbelief. Her daughter called out softly, "Dad?"
Zhang San glanced at his roommate who was subdued by him and snorted coldly: "Humph! Come on, follow me to Home No. 1, we... don't want to live here anymore!"
The three of them just left here and went directly to Home No. 1, Zhang San's new home.
There... is a villa.
Zhang San did not deal with a few more people because they were only willing to talk big but would not really take action. After all, the dragnet here is not to be trifled with. Anyone who dares to violate the "Law of the End Times" will have the grass on his grave taller than that of a second-level zombie.
Without some iron-fisted measures, even the tight net of heaven and earth cannot suppress these 100,000 people.
After Zhang San and his family left, the incident attracted the soldiers of the Tianluodiwang patrol. They asked about what happened. After seeing that nothing serious happened to the few people, they were about to leave. The young couple stopped the Tianluodiwang patrol and asked, "Sir, what is there over there? How come Zhang San became so powerful after just one trip? And what does it mean that his family said they would never come back? Is there a place to live over there?"
"There's nothing over there. Don't go out unless you have something to do. Just have a good rest!"
The people from Tianluodiwang did not explain, which made several people rebellious. They felt that the Tianluodiwang base was hiding something. After this interruption, several people lost interest. The two families sat together to discuss what had just happened. After describing it for a long time, they finally came to the conclusion: "There are habitable houses on the other side of the city wall, and there is a method that can greatly improve people's physical fitness! Don't tell this secret to others. After the people from Tianluodiwang leave, we will go and take a look secretly..."
Several people agreed with this, and then...
At night, several people spread the news to their neighbors and friends, "Brother, there is a secret that I will only tell you... You know! There are houses for you to live in over the city wall, and there are extraordinary potions for Tianluodiwang to drink!"
…
"Jimei, I treat you like my own sister, so please don't sell me out... I heard from a friend that there is a house on the other side of the city wall that is the same as before the apocalypse. If you go there, you will be given a potion that can 100% awaken A-level superpowers!"
…
"Brother, I'm not exaggerating. If it weren't for our relationship, you would have missed a great opportunity! My mistress in the government office told me... There are big villas over there on the other side of the city wall. If you go there tomorrow, not only will you become a top-level transcendent, you will also get a bikini beauty as a gift!"
…
Finally, "I'm sure! The other side of the wall is not the end of the world. We are all being broadcast live in Truman's world. Who is willing to break through this small world with me and gain a new life?"
Although the words were getting more and more exaggerated, it also set off a trend in the Jinzhou City Dragnet Base, and everyone was full of yearning for the life on the other side of the city wall...
Even though the people from Tianluodiwang were patrolling and persuading people, it was still not very effective. Many people shouted slogans such as "There is no apocalypse at all, this is all an absurd live broadcast" and rushed into Home No. 1. Seeing Home No. 1, which was brightly lit and looked like a big city... they became more convinced of their guess!
Then they asked the organizer to compensate them for the year's imprisonment, mental damages, lost wages, etc., and told them that if they refused, they would have to expect a lawyer's letter!
After dinner, Shen Jin came over for a walk, looking confused.
"Where... where did all this zz come from?"

"I'm afraid there's some serious illness?"
Jia Taolong spread his hands strategically and pointed to his head, "Maybe, I mean maybe my old friends, they...may have some problems here?"
Shen Jinshen agreed and told the front desk, "Don't let in people who are obviously mentally ill..."
Then a group of people shouted, "I'm not crazy! Don't touch me! I'm really not crazy!" and were taken away by the city defense team from the place where they applied for the No. 1 Home resident certificate.
Zhang San took his wife and daughter to the small villa he had chosen first, in the wealthy area of Shengfeng Times. Zhao Min kept her mouth open to see everything in Home No. 1. Although her daughter was a little afraid of the new environment, she still envied this wealthy area before the end of the world. With stars in her eyes, she gently pulled Zhang San's arm and asked in a low voice, "Dad...what are we doing here?"
Zhao Min also reacted and patted the obviously younger Zhang San on the chest: "Yes, Old Zhang, didn't you say there is a place for us to live here? Let's go put down our luggage first and then come back. Here... I feel a little stressed!"
Zhang San looked at his still charming wife at the age of 35, and recalled that not long after she gave birth to a daughter, a rich second-generation man fell in love with her and was stunned by her beauty. He didn't care that she had already given birth to a child and was willing to marry her as long as she left the child in Zhang San's house and pretended that nothing had happened.
At that time, the two were not of legal marriage age, so they were just husband and wife in name only. The rich second generation said that if Zhao Min was willing to marry him, he would buy her a house in Shengfeng Times...
At that time, it was difficult for a young girl who had just entered society to refuse such an offer of money, and Zhang San was studying outside...
She liked the house here very much, but... she still resolutely refused!
She and Zhang San have been together all the way. Although they may not be able to afford a house in Shengfeng Times in their lifetime, as long as the two of them are leaning on each other, the world is happy.
Zhang San knew this, so he chose the house here directly to satisfy his wife's unfulfilled wish since she followed him. He knew that she still liked this place, and every time she passed by, she would take a good look at every tree and leaf inside...
The two asked questions along the way, but Zhang San just smiled and said nothing until he led them to a villa, "From now on, this will be our home!"
The two looked in shock at Zhang San, who was trying hard to hide his smug smile. Then the three of them hugged each other and cried with joy.
Zhang San was just the first one who dared to try something new, so he got the best policy from No. 1 Homeland regarding relocation to the base. His family also underwent major changes, and his family lived a good life with him. At this time, Zhang San secretly said to himself: "After I have extraordinary power, I will take control of my life step by step. I will never lie in the base like a useless person and rot slowly like I did in the past year... I heard from the customer service that they still have bounty missions, and I can make money with my own abilities..."
That evening, many decisive people directly joined Home No. 1 and quickly dragged their luggage over, becoming the first residents of the Jinzhou District of Home No. 1.
That night, more than 1,000 people checked in!
This was far beyond Shen Jin's prediction. He underestimated the decisiveness of many knowledgeable people who were willing to sacrifice long-term comfort for a better future. This place is full of uncertainties, but... it is also full of opportunities!
Of course, after living there for a long time, they will find that the rules of Home No. 1 are more reasonable and very humane.
These 1,000 people are just a spark compared to the 100,000 survivors in Jinzhou City, but... they can start a prairie fire!
As more survivors from Jinzhou City learned about the conditions in Home No. 1 and experienced them firsthand, more and more people chose to join. Home No. 1 was using its charm to siphon off survivors from the opposite base. After 3 days, more than 10,000 survivors from Jinzhou City had arrived!
There are still a large number of people who are waiting and watching, but they are already regular visitors to No. 1 Home. The open-air movie in the square at the east gate is full every day, as is the conference room of the Tianluodiwang Base in Jinzhou City.
"If we allow Homeland No. 1 to continue doing this, we will sooner or later become a branch base with no troops and no troops, and become a laughing stock of the whole country! I suggest taking countermeasures!"
"But... these survivors are useless in our base. The living quarters are very crowded and there are often frictions and conflicts, which delays our army's time. It would be better to let some of them go. This will be more conducive to our management!"
"Stupid! Stupid! Once people keep leaving, in the end, there will be no one left of us! Now our army has become extraordinary people, what should we do if we want to increase our strength next? We have to find people from the survivors. If there are no people, we will have no reserve troops! Do you know how to fight?"
The director of the logistics department said: "Even if they bring so many people over, can they afford to feed them?"
Everyone stopped arguing and looked at the director of the logistics department as if he was mentally retarded. "We have enough food here to feed 100,000 people for more than 10 years. They own Q City and Hulu City. Once the granaries are opened, won't it be easy to feed these 100,000 people?"
"No, we have to find a way to counter it!"
"They didn't do anything wrong. Shen Jin comes to hang out with us every day, acting peaceful and friendly. How can we fight back?"
"Fuck! How come this guy is just like the politicians before the apocalypse, always playing shameless and letting others find no fault with him!"
Ma Xiangnan said coldly: "He is still talking about reason now, but if he uses force, who can compete with him?"
A group of people lowered their heads in shame...
After a moment, Ma Xiangnan said, "Close the city gates. From today on, no survivors are allowed to go out!"
"But... the Dragnet headquarters stipulates..."
"No buts! If there is any problem, I will take care of it . Shen Jin wants to turn us into the second Hulu City..."
That night, the survivors were stopped at the gate by rows of extraordinary soldiers. They were told that a large number of zombies had appeared outside and that they were not allowed to go out. One person shouted angrily, "Zombies! Where are the zombies? Why can't we see them? Let them out and bite me!"
This time, the soldier's leader thought for a long time and then said coldly: "It's groundless..."
Everyone: ???
Then...it became even more fun!
The scene was once very extreme, but as the extraordinary people from the Jinzhou City Tianluodiwang Base gradually poured into the gate, these ordinary people also became afraid and slowly retreated back to their dormitories.
…
On the second night, the corpse-killing team of No. 1 Homeland finished cleaning up the two large waves of corpses in Yingkou City and returned to the Jinzhou District base to rest. They stood on the city wall of the east gate, took out their laser guns, and slowly began to wipe the Jinzhou City dragnet base...
On the same day, Ma Xiangnan ordered the lifting of travel restrictions on the survivors.
All of a sudden, a large number of survivors poured into Home No. 1. They were afraid of being locked up in the base over there again. This day made them understand what they really wanted. It was not advisable to be fence-sitters. It was time to make a decision!
A large number of neutral parties checked in at No. 1 Home. That night, the temperature rose and the check-in process lasted all night. The customer service ladies were exhausted, their faces were flushed, their hands and feet were weak, and their bodies looked like they had been fished out of the water. However, a full 30,000 people checked in that one night!
Faced with such a situation, Ma Xiangnan was powerless and had to seek help from the headquarters, accusing No. 1 Home of their unethical practices!
The headquarters of Tianluodiwang has attracted enough attention. However, there are still three days before the zombies complete the opening of this round of time locks. All their energy is on this aspect and they have no time to come here to take care of the affairs of a small Jinzhou City. They just asked Shen Jin symbolically, but the result was that Shen Jin was cordial but refused to cooperate.
And he stated that he was also a branch of the Tianluodi Network. He... Colonel Shen! He was considering the lives of the survivors in Jinzhou City!
Finally, one day before the zombie virus time lock arrived, almost all the survivors of Jinzhou City moved to the No. 1 Home Base. They returned to the embrace of modern civilization and enjoyed the apocalyptic life with electricity, water, and the Internet...
…
The people from the Tianluodiwang branch of Jinzhou City all looked extremely ugly, as if they had been fed shit for several days in a row.
But... the people's will and the trend of the times are unshakable. They cannot go against the people's wishes and force them to give up their better modern life and live a primitive life with them.
When most people had left, Ma Xiangnan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at his subordinates and smiled for the first time. "Maybe... this is not a bad thing. Isn't the original intention of our dragnet to protect all Chinese people and let them live a better life? This is... helping us. Now, we don't have so many worries and can devote ourselves to the work of clearing zombies!"
After struggling for so many days, the others finally faced the reality and became relieved.
Yes, Home No. 1 did what they wanted to do but could not do. The people are not their burden, nor their property, but... their compatriots!
"Homeland No. 1, I hope you can live well with the 100,000 survivors of Jinzhou!"
At the same time, on that night, Shen Jin received a satellite call from the second Wallfacer of the Dragnet...
