Chapter 433: Behind His Back (1/2)

Gan Shuo fell silent. He did not refute Zhen Yang's words. He thought about it, and he realized the truth behind Zhen Yang's words.

The old man traced back to his initial decision, the decision why he fought the zombies. The reason he fought the zombies was to protect his family, his wife and his children.

Then Wen came to them, to the survivor group, and offered them shelter. Wen promised food and a place to stay, a safe place. He followed Zhen Yang and Liao Zhenya, then he was recruited to the armies.

He did not think that much as he thought they would fight dozens or maybe hundreds of zombies. Clearing area, scavenging food, and securing a place to stay. He never thought of fighting thousands of zombies.

However, his first victory was sweet for him. He did not expect to win and survive the battle. The older man regained his confidence until yesterday night's battle. The prolonged battle shook his confidence and he vented all his frustration to the Leader.

The prolonged battle taxed his mental as fear of losing his life grew deep inside.

Zhen Yang's words reminded him of his reason to fight. Only then the older realized that his anger toward the Lord was a form of his fear and concerns.

”Furthermore, it's not like Lord Tang did not do anything in the battle. He fought and he killed the King of the zombies, the zombie that controlled those millions of zombies,” Zhen Yang continued, ”That's the reason why we won. The zombies fought us madly, unorganized, that's why we can win.”

Gan Shuo rolled his eyes, ”I know, I watched the battle too. Just let me be, I need to vent my frustration, or else I may go crazy for real.”

The older man admitted his mistake indirectly. As the oldest, he was too ashamed to admit his childish behavior openly.

'Look at the big picture, Gan Shuo. What if the Empire loses in the battle? The zombies will keep growing and soon the zombies will threaten me and my family. Tsk, even at my age, I can be this narrow-minded,' Gan Shuo thought to himself.

”That's the problem, Uncle Gan. You can't do that. The individual you are talking about is a Lord of many people. You should be careful with your words. Lord Tang is not our superior at our workplace, he is the Ruler of an Empire, and we are his subject. You may lose your life if you talk bad behind our Lord. I am talking about this to you for your good,” Zhen Yang shook his head upon realizing Gan Shuo was not aware of his mistake.

”While you may resent him, many of our peers admired him. You should be careful, Uncle Gan,” Zhen Yang emphasized his meaning clearly. This was a warning call, not just for Gan Shuo but for the others as well.

Gan Shuo snapped out from his thoughts. He looked around, they were sitting amidst the Tarriors who had been following The Lord longer than any of them. Fortunately, they could not hear his conversation as they were busy by themselves, chatting and eating the food.

'I hope no one hears, or I might be screwed,' Gan Shuo thought to himself.

”Ssshhh!” Liao Zhenya suddenly interrupted while motioning in the direction of the entrance with her head. Everyone on the table subconsciously looked in the same direction.

Tang Shaoyang came out of the building. Gan Shuo immediately turned around, 'Please don't come here! Please don't come here! Please don't come here!”
