Meanwhile, in the mayor''s building.

"Is it just me, or did I hear something flying by in the distance earlier?" Old Liu suddenly mentioned.

"Yeah. It sounds like a helicopter of some sort... This damn fog is blocking everything." Zhen Ti complained as nobody could tell what was happening outside.

As the two headed upstairs, hundreds and thousands of people were sitting or sleeping on the floor with nothing to do.

Some were armed with guns, while others had various makeshift melee weapons. Many of them were forming groups as each of them chose an area to clump up.

"What time is it?"

"It''s about five o''clock, sir."

As the two headed towards the closest corner of the fire exit, they were welcomed by Zhen Ti''s office workers, who ran away with them.

More importantly, Zhen Ti''s son was right in the middle, with his hand being held by a middle-aged woman.

"Zhen Ti, how''s the situation out there?" The woman curiously asked.

"It''s calm for now..."

Hearing Zhen Ti''s response, everyone let out a sigh of relief until he spoke up again.

"But I''m worried when people are going to start getting hungry... All of the food is on the first floor, and going down there right now is a death sentence."

"Then what should we do? Should we——"

The woman moved her hand over the neck, signaling Zhen Ti to strike first.

"No. That will make us the most obvious target. The last thing we want to do is to stand out right now..."

"Then are we really just going to sit here and starve to death?" One of the office workers asked.

"What do you want me to do? Go down and fight that entire zombie horde down there? What problem is it going to solve if we try to fight other groups?

Do you know what we can do? Stop wasting energy and just wait... Xiaoyun and Zhen Ren wouldn''t just abandon this many people like this."

The office worker immediately fell into silence as he blended back into the crowd of office workers.

"I''m tired. Wake me up when something happens."

As Zhen Ti went inside a makeshift tent, he began contemplating what went wrong.

"All we can do is just sit here and wait... I fucking knew I should have arrested those damn traitors. Why did I give them a second chance?

Why did I become so soft? I had Zhen Ti on my side to arrest every single one of them and force them to break up. I had the perfect hand and didn''t do anything with it.

What''s wrong with me? Why didn''t I take the chance and just listen to everyone''s advice to kick them out?"

Zhen Ti suddenly pulled out his gun and put it right next to his temple with his finger on the trigger.

After a long standstill, Zhen Ti puts the gun back down.

"I really am just a coward... Old Liu, do you regret following me?" Zhen Ti suddenly asked out loud, as if he knew Old Liu was right outside.

Lingang immediately switched to a general channel on his walkie-talkie.

"All survivors! We are the army from Luoping! This is your last chance to escape before the zombies return!

I repeat we are from Luoping. If you do not come down now, you will be permanently stuck in Qingyuan and starve to death.

We will not come back here to save you. I repeat, this is your last chance. Please come out now if you want to live."

As Lingang put his walkie-talkie back down, he could immediately hear gunshots and screams coming from inside several of the buildings, despite none of the soldiers having gone inside yet.

"Commander Lingang, are we really holding this for ten minutes? I feel like we only have enough ammo for five minutes." One of the major advised.

"Five minutes is nowhere near enough for the people on the roof to get down... We''ll have to use our lives to hold it if we must.

I''ll be the last one to leave if you are scared. Perhaps you should have never joined the military if you were scared."

Hearing Lingang''s light joke, all the soldiers nearby laughed a little, and the major who asked the question blushed in embarrassment.

"M-Me too! I''ll fight until the last men!"

---

As the fighting outside raged on, everyone in the mayor''s building was rushing downstairs, with some even going through the fire exit, triggering a loud fire alarm.

But nobody cared about the fire alarm noise as the gunshots outside were much louder than every noise possible, with the occasional sound of an explosion going off overpowering everything.

"Woman and children last! Men with weapons go first!" Zhen Ti yelled as he ready his gun and kicked the third-floor door.

With the door wide open, the entire third floor was full of zombies as it began rushing towards the people on the stairs.

But it was quickly taken care of, as everybody was firing to prevent them from even getting close.

As the people in the front got down to the second floor, even more zombies were there.

Still, it was able to be taken care of, but almost everyone who was holding a gun was reported to be running out of ammo.

"Everyone with a melee weapon in the front! If you are scared, give your weapon to someone who actually is willing to fight!"

As they headed to the ground floor, the entire main lobby was full of zombie''s dead bodies.

"Head towards the semi-truck. There will be people getting you to safety," one of the soldiers yelled before joining his comrades in clearing other buildings.

Just as all the survivors exited the mayor''s building through the front door, a gunshot suddenly appeared from behind.

"Zhen Ti you——"

A man pointed at Zhen Ti in shock, with a bullet wound on his head as he collapsed onto the floor.

Immediately, everyone in the group of the killed man raised their weapon toward Zhen Ti, with anger and shock both mixed in their face. your m,v,l,e,m,p,y,r story

Everyone else in their own groups was on high alert, as they didn''t have any spare ammo for their guns. More importantly, all of them were shocked, as they didn''t expect Zhen Ti to be infighting in a situation like this.

"Zhen Ti, what the hell are you doing——"

"He''s the one who caused the West Block to fall so fast. All other three blocks held for ten minutes. You tell me, why shouldn''t I kill him here?" Zhen Ti yelled back in anger.

The person immediately shut his mouth as he knew what Zhen Ti said was all true, as he was a part of the people who fled with the person that Zhen Ti had just killed.
