Chapter 294 (2/2)

It was not enough to just have a place stay, to protect the safety of the camp, walls were also necessary.

The workers from the Fishbone base were mostly residents from Shenxiang town. After three months of work, they were promoted from “slaves” to “lower citizens” and some outstanding contributors were even promoted to “intermediate citizen”.

After parking on the empty ground, the workers jumped off the truck. After offloading the supplies, they skillfully set up the necessary construction equipment. Then following the engineer’s directions, they began to dig the foundation of the wall.

Based on the agreement, Fishbone base will build a wall on the outskirt of the square with a total distance of four thousand meters. The half-collapsed stores were bulldozed over, while the more complete buildings were circled inside the wall to be utilized.

The workers on the campsite were busily working as the clanking and hammering sound from their equipment persisted till midnight. A lot of frozen zombies were attracted by their scent as they dragged their limping bodies near the camp.

But the Fishbone soldiers were well prepared. The soldiers stationed on the street raised their rifles as a few shots took down the scattered zombies. Maybe it was because this area was not concentrated with zombies, or because the low temperature suppressed the reproduction of the zombies in the city center until summer, but it was hard to see a sizeable group of zombies in the w.a.n.ghai rural area.

The construction of the camp was well underway, but compared to the liveliness on the surface, it was a lot more deserted in the fallout shelter.

Han Junhua sat in front of the table as she looked apathetically at the enraged Wu Yaguo.

“What did you do. Asking him to help us build our camp, I don’t disagree with, but what’s the point of stationing their forces here? Do you want us to become their slaves?”

“From my perspective, this is the best ending.” Han Junhua said emotionlessly.

Both take what they need as they feared the same unbearable consequence. Both parties remain restrained.

“Are you dumb or what? Since they are need of us, we can use the technology in our hand to demand more benefits!”

When she heard Wu Yaguo’s accusation, Han Junhua just found it funny.

But for some reason, she couldn’t laugh out loud.

“Do you know what they brought when they came?”

“What?” Wu Yaguo said uncaringly, “A huge army? So what? Even if we can’t win, as long as we close the door, they can’t come in. Unless they don’t want our technology, or he wouldn’t have sat down with us and talked it out.”

Han Junhua shook her head.

“They already know the news of our energy shortage. Or rather, it is not a secret at all. Threatening wouldn’t work.”

“Then we will threaten them with our death.” Wu Yaguo said fiercely. “If the door never opens, they will get nothing.”

“Have you ever heard of gambling?” Han Junhua asked.

Wu Yaguo’s eyebrows raised as he didn’t understand.

Seeing as he didn’t speak, Han Junhua continued.

“Two gamblers sat in front of the gambling table, both are eyeing the chips in the other person’s hand. The rule of the game is simple. Each person holds a gun, but they are pointed at the same person. A uses the gun to force B to give up their chips, B uses the gun to point at himself to threaten A. The game revolves around the life of B. If B dies, A would get nothing.”

“This rule is not fair to begin with.” Wu Yaguo laughed.

“Rules are always unfair to the weak,” Han Junhua said emotionlessly. “A few hours ago, Jiang Chen and I both held a gun. Except before the game started, I pointed the gun at my own head.”

That kind of apathy made Wu Yaguo hold his breath.
