Now, after listening to General Li’s words, they couldn’t help but reminisce about the peaceful days before the apocalypse. The people here came from all walks of society; some were once affluent while others belonged to the lower rungs, toiling every day for their livelihood.
Yet, no matter how difficult life had been, they at least had enough food and clothes and a safe place to stay. They didn’t need to worry about man-eating monsters breaking into their houses at any moment, nor did they have to starve all day long.
Back then, they had various complaints about their lives, but only after truly experiencing the cruelty of the apocalypse did they realize how blissful those old days were!
Now, the only thought in their minds was—exterminate all the zombies outside and get life back on track!
Perhaps their mindset might change again in the future, but at least at this moment, they all had a firm belief and a goal to live for!
The three generals were very pleased with this outcome. Thus, Qiu Hongsheng stepped forward and said, "Since you all understand now, I’ll tell you another thing: the military enlistment has already begun. After this meeting, you can go to the Task Hall to sign up and register your ID information. Training will start tomorrow. During the training period, anyone who participates will receive a ration of food, but this food is not given for free—it’s advanced to you! The bill will be recorded on your ID Card, and you will have to pay back the debt gradually when you participate in missions."
Everyone quickly accepted this condition. They now understood how precious food was. They were already delighted that the military was willing to advance it to them, let alone offer it for free! They couldn’t get enough to eat every day, so naturally, they were overjoyed at the prospect of food.
The three generals had been a bit worried that there would be opposition. They even had plans in place for such a scenario but didn’t expect that the people would accept it outright, without any objections.
They secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began discussing another matter—the chaos that some people had caused last night.
This time, it wasn’t Qiu Hongsheng speaking, but General Li. He said, "Alright, everyone now knows that last night some people took advantage of the situation to cause chaos, not only stealing supplies from those who had contributed but also attempting to assault the army! Now, the instigators are all here, and I hope everyone remembers what they’ve done, and remember, not to make the same mistake! Your enemies are the zombies outside, not your own compatriots! Anyone who dares to harm their own will not be let off lightly once discovered!"
