[TN: I want to welcome Feldy to the team, it’s his first translation so far! Please give him a warm welcome :)] Chapter 21: Appropriate Cannon Fodder
“Do you know that the high pitch screaming just now will attract even more zombies? Haven’t I already told you not to make any sound no matter what happens? Do you take what I say as a joke?” Liu Gan turned his head and chided the group. Especially glaring at LuLu when he said that.
“I’m sorry, it won’t happen again.” LuLu replied, in fear, to Liu Gan. After Liu Gan had glared at her, she had fear sprouting from her heart, and her face was deathly pale.
Liu Gan had a very defined muscular body, and had skills to match his talent. With his domineering and scary aura, the group really thought he would kill the red-hair player on the spot. This was especially worrying for LuLu because, as a female player, when she meets with male players who aren’t tender with ladies, and instead were aggressive, she has to worry about situations like these a lot more than other players.
“I am doing this for everyone’s sake. If you want to continue surviving, you guys better listen to me. If it wasn’t for me, then when he had attracted the zombies over the ones dead wouldn’t be just him.” Liu Gan pointed at the red-hair player and announced to the group.
“Thank you, Boss! If it wasn’t for your bravery, we would already be dead on the floor… Boss, let’s take the opportunity to leave this place before the zombie comes.” Plump Pan Hua suggested to Liu Gan, trying to break the awkward atmosphere.
“If you guys want to continue breathing, then following my instructions is a must. If not, you guys can try to survive in this zombie world by yourself. I don’t want to be dragged down by you.” Liu Gan didn’t answer Pan hua. Instead, he scolded them a bit more.
Even though Liu Gan had said all that to them in the case of a real emergency, he was not at all worried that they would drag him down.
If the same situation occurred again, where the red-haired player attracted 3 zombies, Liu Gan could get rid of them easily. However, if it turned out to be a large mob, he would definitely not stay behind and babysit them. He would climb up the wall and escape – leaving them behind to be cannon fodder, which would buy him time to increase his chances of escaping.
However, for them to become cannon fodder, they would need training. Training to become qualified cannon fodder. Therefore, it was necessary right now to showcase Liu Gan’s prowess, as they absolutely needed to follow his instructions. Cannon fodder that don’t follow instructions, are unqualified cannon fodder.

“From now on, we will definitely listen to Boss!” Pan Hua hurriedly replied. After the two previous battles, it was obvious that Liu Gan was definitely an expert in fighting the zombies. If he wanted to continue living, and wait for rescue to come, then relying on Liu Gan was his best option.
Even though the rest didn’t utter a single word, deep down in their heart they had already acknowledge Liu Gan to be the leader. In this type of zombie apocalyptic world, it was an undisputable fact that whoever was the strongest would definitely be the boss. Furthermore, Liu Gan had already demonstrated his strong martial power. With his protection, it would be a lot safer.
Earlier this afternoon, the zombies from the nearby alleys and streets had already been attracted by the two explosions. In addition, when Liu Gan was traveling over, he had already killed a decent number of zombies. Therefore, previously when the red-haired player had shouted and LuLu’s had screamed in a high-pitched manner, no zombies were attracted to the group. It seemed that the nearby streets were much safer because of the earlier events.
After scouting the nearby vicinity, Liu Gan did not lead them away immediately. Instead he brought the group back to the street opposite of the minimart. Currently, foraging for food and water was of the utmost importance.
“The minimart may have zombie inside. When Boss goes in, you have to be careful.” Pan Hua hurriedly cautioned Liu Gan when he lead them to the entrance of the minimart.
