68 Confrontation (1/2)
He was hiding the proximity base with his group, watching the battle unfolded. When the first zombie horde was cleared, he planned to go back and took over the base from Tang Shaoyang with his group.
But then, he heard there was another zombie horde coming, a bigger zombie horde. With an additional group of apes, Han Jiang canceled his plan to take over the base.
He then searched for more people and recruited them into his group.
Han Jiang and his group were one of the famous groups in the base hence he easily recruited more people into his group. When he told his plan to his people, everyone immediately agreed to his plan.
The importance of the base was absolute. Han Jiang realized that after staying in the base. It had resources that people could not get just by killing the zombies.
A talent, the General Shop, and more importantly the rumored class. Han Jiang could not miss this chance to take over the base.
While Tang Shaoyang and the people staying in the base fought the second horde, Han Jiang had been gathering people. Thanks to his unrelenting effort, he managed to recruit 209 people to his group. With his original party, now he had 239 people.
All these people were the people who decided to leave the base just like him. Hence he easily recruited him either by force or persuasion. On the fourth day, he managed to gather 239 people, it was time to claim the base.
”Why are we not allowed to go back to our home?” Han Jiang shamelessly confronted Zhang Mengyao.
He claimed the base as his home when he left the moment crisis arose.
Zhang Mengyao cast a disgusted look at the shameless man, ”You left instead of protecting your so-called home, and you still dare to call this as your home!”
”I left to persuade these people to come back with me to protect our home,” Han Jiang smiled in return as he was not bothered by Zhang Mengyao's words. He also pointed to the people behind him.
'After taking the base, you will be mine as well,'
”But when we come back the battle is over. It's unfortunate but we are trying our best as well here,” Han Jiang shook his head as he tried to look as sincere as possible.
”It took four days to come back, huh!?” Zhang Mengyao replied sarcastically.
”We know we are at fault, but we regret our choice and come back. We apologize for our cowardly action, we come back to make our mistake,” The man next to Han Jiang bowed his head toward Zhang Mengyao in the form of apologizing.
He was Han Jiang's right man, Shi Ping. He was in fact the one who planned everything. The mastermind behind Han Jiang's action.
”But why? We have apologized, we regretted our choice, and I do believe we deserve the second chance!” Shi Ping raised his voice at Tao He.
'Tsk, this unknown dude acts as a leader in front of me, let's see how you are going to face my people!'
”Yeah! We deserve the second chance as well!”
”We regret it, why can't we join back with you guys!”
”We promise we will not do it again!”
”We have apologized!”
”Who are you? Why do you act as a leader?”
”Where's Tang Shaoyang? We want justice!”
The people behind Shi Ping and Han Jiang started to raise their voices as well.
Zhang Mengyao flinched slightly. She was unsure of what to do. Accepting these people had pros and cons, she had to think carefully. Moreover, she needed to discuss this with Tang Shaoyang.
After the battle, they lost half of their forces. Accepting these people back would recoup their loss. If another zombie horde came to attack, they would have more people to fight the zombie horde. This was one of the pros.
