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. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

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.
