"Sister Wen, that food doesn't belong to them, so why should we ask for their permission? We are this factory's workers—by right, they should be the ones asking for our permission," a young man said unhappily.
The moment she heard this, Sister Wen looked at him and asked, "Do you think you can win against them if we fight?"
"If they dare to hit us, we can just report it to the police!" another man added.
Shaking her head, Sister Wen explained, "Everyone should understand that we have no signal. How can we report them to the police? What's more, I don't think we can still use the previous laws in our current situation."
Seeing that the young man still wanted to argue, she continued, "Do you forget what happened in the dormitories? Do you want to end up like those people instead?"
"That man wore a uniform similar to a soldier's—he must be a soldier. He wouldn't harm us, right?" an old woman said.
"Aunty, are you sure that man is a soldier just based on his clothes? What if he is a criminal who escaped from prison and stole the soldier's uniform instead?" Sister Wen asked.
"Rather than betting on his personality, which we don't know at all, it's better to use a simpler and more honest approach."
"There are only two people, they wouldn't be able to take everything. If we ask politely, I'm sure they won't mind sharing the supplies. But if we steal the supplies, they might kill us like Director Yang did," she added.
Everyone remembered the terror they experienced when they were trapped inside the dormitories. Director Yang had obtained a superpower to control metal. Whenever someone dared to go against him, he would kill them with a metal pipe.
Because of his power, he was able to kill the monsters and managed to bring everyone to the cafeteria. With supplies under his control and the addition of his superpower, he even dared to violate several young women blatantly.
Some of them took their own lives due to the humiliation, while those with thick skin stayed with Director Yang as his playthings just so they could get some food and water.
When he laid his eyes on Sister Wen, she resisted with all her might and managed to hit Director Yang in the head. She escaped with a group of people when he fainted.
Those who chose to follow Director Yang and become his minions didn't have any superpowers, so when they saw her and the small group of people run out of the cafeteria, they didn't chase after them, thinking they would surely die.
Therefore, most of the people hiding in this guard post were young women, along with some older women and young men.
After listening to her reasoning, they no longer insisted on stealing the food and agreed to her decision.
While they were discussing, Jin Xuyan and Jiao Lizhi had already finished killing all the zombies in the area.
