Chapter 329: Chapter evacuation of the city

Just three or four minutes later, almost all the Survivors had arrived, roughly estimated to be around three hundred people.

At this moment, they no longer had their usual animosity; apart from a few who held grudges, everyone else was getting along very well.

Although those few people couldn’t stand each other and wanted to kill each other, they understood what could and could not be done in the current situation. They tried their best to stay away from each other to avoid conflict.

A few minutes later, this group of Survivors discussed and reached a conclusion: everyone would leave this Town while there was still over an hour left.

Currently, resources here were almost depleted, and it was becoming even more dangerous.

The previous Zerg attacks were easier to handle, but the monsters they just encountered were something they had no ability to resist.

If someone hadn’t pointed out the monsters’ weakness of being unable to see, it was unknown how many of the more than three hundred people present would have been killed.

This group of people originally wanted to go to the nearby Survivor base, but time was too short. After some discussion, some people decided to go to Fifth Master’s side first.

In their understanding, Fifth Master’s side not only had nearly two hundred Survivors but also a large number of firearms.

They just hadn’t announced it, but such a scale was already considered a Survivor base.

Therefore, in their eyes, going to seek refuge with Fifth Master was the wis wisest choice.

Furthermore, to take a step back, even if Fifth Master and his people didn’t take them in, they would still be wary of over three hundred people. In any case, they could secure a safe place to rest.

Then, when it was time to travel at night, they could rush overnight to the Survivor base to seek refuge.

Thus, this team of over three hundred people set off towards Fifth Master’s location.

They were cautious along the way, constantly on alert for the appearance of Zerg or monsters.

Fortunately, the journey was relatively smooth, and they did not encounter any attacks. The people in the team also began to look out for each other, and there was no instance of abandoning a teammate.

When they approached Fifth Master’s encampment, they found it eerily silent.

From the traces on the scene, Fifth Master’s side had suffered an unprecedented Zerg tide attack. There were many dead Zerg bodies on the ground and pieces of Survivors from Fifth Master’s side.

Seeing such a situation, everyone looked at each other. Their supposed safe haven had turned into nothing, and all hope was lost.

But at this moment, there was no turning back. Fifth Master and his people were no longer at this encampment, and their remaining time was running out. There wasn’t enough time to find a safe location, so they could only rest here at the risk of being attacked.

It was at this time that Qu Baoguo returned with a team, preparing to bring back the bodies of the deceased Survivors for cremation in the remaining time.

Who knew that he would see hundreds of people, lounging here and not planning to leave? Looking at the difference in numbers between the two sides, he really didn’t want to waste bullets on these matters.

So Qu Baoguo prepared to leave, but there were hundreds of eyes on the other side, and soon someone noticed his group.

One of the Survivors shouted, “Who are you?”

“Are you Fifth Master’s people??”

Qu Baoguo frowned upon hearing this. He didn’t want any trouble now. Encountering so many people, his only thought was to safely bring his people back; this was his duty. So he shouted back at them.

“I am Qu Baoguo. What do you need?”

A commotion spread through the crowd, and the hope in their eyes dimmed again. It was clear that some of these people had heard of Qu Baoguo and knew his identity and status.

At this moment, a clever young man stepped forward and said,

“Qu Ge, so many of us have gathered together to seek refuge with you and Fifth Master.”

“We hope you can take us in.”

Qu Baoguo was still considering the matter, and the person beside him whispered in his ear.

“Qu Ge, we just lost a lot of people and were about to expand recruitment. Taking them in is not a problem.”

“It’s just that their loyalty still needs to be confirmed.”

Qu Baoguo pondered for a moment, looking at the expectant faces before him, gritted his teeth, and made a decision.

“Alright, everyone follow along. I’ll have someone lead you over.”

“Also, send two or three representatives to come with me.”

“Time is running out, hurry!”

He then instructed the person next to him.

“Take them to the nearby backup encampment.”

Upon hearing Qu Baoguo’s arrangements, those Survivors nodded repeatedly.

Soon after, Qu Baoguo’s people led them to an abandoned building. This place was relatively close to their main base, and relatively speaking, its concealment was very high.

So the more than three hundred people set up camp at this encampment, each busy with their own affairs.

Qu Baoguo also took a few representatives to meet Fifth Master and his people.

Qu Baoguo led the representatives into the main base. Everyone they saw along the way was busy with post-war matters.

Although they did not encounter an Underground People attack yesterday, they were still severely troubled by the Zerg and lost many people because of it.

Qu Baoguo left the few people outside the room, then pushed the door open and walked in.

At this moment, Fifth Master was sitting in a chair with his left hand bandaged with yellowish white cloth, his face tired and haggard.

Seeing Qu Baoguo return, Fifth Master slightly raised his eyes.

“You’re back. How did things go?”

Qu Baoguo briefly explained the situation and gave Fifth Master a surprise.

He had brought back over three hundred people. Although he didn’t know how many would truly stay, it was still a replenishment of fresh blood.

After listening to Qu Baoguo’s words and suggestions, Fifth Master was also very tempted by these more than three hundred people.

However, he was now, like Qu Baoguo, curious about what kind of monsters they were talking about.

To understand, he still needed to ask those who had experienced it firsthand.

So Qu Baoguo called the representatives outside the door to come in.

After they entered, they wanted to bow to Fifth Master to show respect, but Fifth Master stopped them with a gesture and spoke.

“Alright, we don’t do that anymore.”

“Baoguo has told me everything. I asked you to come over mainly for two things.”

“First, I can take you in, and I don’t need you to prove now that you won’t betray us.”

“But what I want to say is that you will adopt a system of collective responsibility. If anyone among you does something against us, then I’m sorry, everyone in his team will be held collectively responsible.”

“Of course, as long as you can provide evidence to report him, then your team can be spared.”

At this time, Qu Baoguo interjected, looking at the few people who were looking at each other.

“I know you can’t make this decision. You don’t have to agree now. Go back and discuss it with them.”

“Those who are willing to stay, we will not refuse.”

“Those who cannot accept it and want to leave, we will not stop them either.”
