Chapter 365: Clowns (1/2)
Right after Yi Qiao, the other soldiers followed up, ”We are from the military establishment, join us and let's rebuild our country together!”
More and more soldiers followed up. They were saying the same thing over and over. Hoping the survivors would be tempted to join them.
They were trying to sell the credibility of the military so people would follow them. Yan Kui believed that at least hundreds of survivors would follow them.
At the same time, Yan Kui secretly glanced at Zhao Zhong, Pride, and Kairu. He was eyeing the three whether they would stop them or not. However, the three remained on the spot.
'They let us do this?' He thought to himself while his men were doing the propaganda.
Meanwhile, from the seventh floor, Tang Shaoyang was looking down on the street. He saw the soldiers were yelling around. He could not hear their voices, but they were like a clown in his eyes.
”What a bunch of clowns,” he shook his head. Of course, he had known their 'brilliant plan' from Origin and he was not worried about it.

Yan Kui's attention was on the three who watched them, but soon he noticed that no one came over.
Despite their shouting, telling the survivors they were from the military force, no one came over.
He scanned the surroundings, and he soon realized that he and his men were like monkeys in the zoo. These people were watching them from the sideline.
Yan Kui was stunned, he thought the credibility of the military force would draw the survivors' attention. But it was as clear as the blue sky, none of them were interested.
Zhao Zhong shook his head at these people's pitiful attempts. Their attempt could never work after what Tang Shaoyang did to these survivors.
While taking their data for the database, Tang Shaoyang told them to tell what happened to their beloved country. The possibility where their country had fallen and the military force's facility was destroyed.
It was just the same as informing the survivors that they could only rely on the empire. The government had fallen, and the military was not as strong as the empire to protect them.
Of course, they took another way to convince these people, making them believe that the government was no longer there for them.
The empire was not lying to the survivors. It was what Origin told Tang Shaoyang. He chose to believe in his smart AI.
That was why the survivors did not come over when Yan Kui's men were shouting they came from the military force. They looked at the group weirdly.
On top of that, no one wanted to leave the base. Food was provided to them, a safe shelter with a wall to prevent zombies from coming for them, clean clothes, and clean water.
They had everything they needed here. Following the unknown group with guns and military uniforms was not the best option for them.
They might have a gun, but their leader with a big battle-ax was scarier. It could be said that they felt safer with Tang Shaoyang than the people in a green military uniform.
Yan Kui watched the survivors and the survivors watched them. It was precisely the scene in the zoo for sure.
”Stop! Let's leave!” His tone was harsh. He was humiliated, not expecting this kind of reaction from the survivors. He thought he could use the military name to persuade survivors to join them. The result however was a disaster.
The others quickly realized that what they did was not working. They immediately followed Yan Kui out of the base. That was so embarrassing, none of the survivors reacted to their call.
