Chapter 337: 193 The Last Chance (Third Update)_2

Just then, another gunshot rang out, followed by Qiu Hongsheng’s voice, "You’re right, we won’t shoot you. But that’s not because we’re military personnel, but because we won’t waste bullets on you! Our bullets are meant for killing zombies, not for shooting you cowardly lot who are too afraid to die! Now! Anyone who doesn’t want to follow the new regulations, stand up! I want to see how many of you are unwilling!"

Upon hearing these words, there was a moment of silence, but then people started standing up one after another. Many were still watching and, seeing others stand, more followed suit.

The so-called bandwagon effect, nothing more than this. Some had been indecisive, but upon seeing more people stand, they subconsciously followed.

It was the psychology of the minority conforming to the majority. In their minds, with so many of them standing, would the military dare to go against their wishes? In the end, it would be the military who would have to compromise!

Sadly, they soon realized they were mistaken.

Although many had risen, even more remained seated on the ground. Among these sitters were some who had previously been vociferous in their protests. But when actually faced with being singled out as examples, they lacked the courage.

Qiu Hongsheng, with a stern expression, shouted, "Any more of you want to stand up? I’m going to count to three, and if you don’t stand up now, you’ll lose your chance!"

"One!"

Some people looked around hesitantly and stood up.

"Two!"

More people joined in standing.

"Three!"

This time, even more hesitant people got to their feet, and the number who stood increased.

Qiu Hongsheng continued, "No one else standing? Have you all really made up your minds? Now, I’ll give you one last chance. If you regret it, you can sit down now. If there’s anyone else wanting to stand, you may choose to do so. This is the final opportunity; you have one minute, after which there will be no more chances! So, you had better think it through!"

His words were laced with threat, and soon, some people changed their minds.

Some who were standing now sat down hesitantly, while those who were sitting did not continue to rise.

Everyone’s heart was pounding, unsure of Qiu Hongsheng’s intentions, and even more worried about what would happen after they stood up.

So, one by one, they sat back down.

That one minute felt exceptionally long; some even began to sweat, their faces turned pale, their lips dry, and their eyes flickered with panic and unease.

However, a minute was ultimately brief, and even as many had not really made up their minds, it passed.

Then everyone heard Qiu Hongsheng declare, "Good, the one minute has passed, and you no longer have the chance to regret the decisions you’ve made."

For some reason, hearing this, everyone felt a sense of relief as if a weight had been lifted. At last, they didn’t have to make that tough choice anymore.

Those seated gradually resigned themselves to their fate, while those standing became increasingly anxious and pale, trembling and ready to sit back down.

Seeing their intentions, Qiu Hongsheng scoffed, "I told you already, there’s no room for regret! Even if you sit down now, you’ll still be singled out!"

At this, the Yongcheng Team all looked in the same direction with knowing smirks.

There stood a woman, upright and composed, unlike the unrest seen on the faces of others, she bore the fierce determination of a martyr in a film, her demeanor unyielding and tough.

Regrettably, watching her, the Yongcheng Team didn’t feel a shred of respect but instead secretly waited to see her make a fool of herself.

For she was none other than Lin Feiyin, who enjoyed all the benefits of being a Doctor yet was conspicuously absent when it mattered most!

Shang Jinxiu whispered, "Sister Xin, this woman sure is interesting. Why does she seem to get involved in everything?"

Fang Yuxin smiled faintly, "Perhaps she thinks she’s the protagonist in some TV drama."

Shang Jinxiu immediately caught on, her eyes brightening as she chuckled meaningfully, "Oh,~~~ but this isn’t a TV show. She can’t actually believe she’s some sort of indestructible cockroach, right? Without a scriptwriter’s golden touch, she dares to play the saint like everyone else, truly clueless about how she’ll meet her end!"

She felt no sympathy for these people. Once upon a time, she was powerless and could only serve as a mobile supply depot. But even then, she strove to improve her strength and went out to hunt zombies.

After joining the Yongcheng Team, she took the training from her teammates and even requested more to enhance her abilities quicker. She was determined not to remain a burden, even if she couldn’t match her teammates’ level.

And what about them? Previously, they could argue they had no means to improve, but now the military had given them the opportunity to train. What did they have to protest about?

This disaster wasn’t exclusive to superpower users; humans were facing it together. What obligation did superpower users have to protect them indefinitely?

And as this thought crossed her mind, Qiu Hongsheng spoke again, "Since you’re all unwilling to accept the Safe Zone’s new regulations, you are no longer suitable to stay within the Safe Zone. You will be escorted out, and henceforth, the Safe Zone will not welcome you back!"(To be continued.
