Chapter 559: The Invincible One (Added Chapter, 10/10 Alliance Leader's Debt Paid Off)_2
The man with his glasses broken in half did not pay attention to him.
Instead, he walked up to Ju Tianrui, bowed deeply, and said in a solemn voice, "Thank you. You've already done enough. It's been over a year since the apocalypse struck, yet you remained true to yourselves without descending into tyranny. You have held onto your beliefs. I, Old He, admire you. Thank you once again."
After speaking, he did not look back and left from Ju Tianrui's side.
Just now, Ju Tianrui had already told them that they would not take those who wanted to leave.
And these refugees also knew that within Juzi Island, the food was in the hands of Gan Shang.
Although Ju Tianrui and his group had guns and seemed safer,
They had also heard about the conflict between Gan Shang and Ju Tianrui.
It could be that Gan Shang and his group might cause trouble for Ju Tianrui.
By then, they would have to face not only the threat of zombies but also Gan Shang, and possibly the entire Western Alliance.
Following Ju Tianrui was truly not the wisest choice.
Ju Tianrui and his group were already in a precarious situation, hardly able to protect themselves.
Seeing Old He behave like this, some understanding folks also followed suit, bowing to Ju Tianrui when they passed by.
These lovely people, still so lovely in the post-apocalyptic world.
When Ju Tianrui witnessed this scene, he felt some comfort in his heart.
The people.
The common folk.
Even though most did not understand, even though there were many who slandered,
There were still some who held gratitude, appreciating their sacrifices.
This harmonious scene clearly stung Gan Shang, who was watching from a distance.
Gan Shang signaled with his eyes to Hai Chao beside him.
Having followed Gan Shang for many years, Hai Chao knew exactly what his boss was thinking.
So, he walked up to the group of refugees that had stayed behind.
After talking for a while, it seemed they struck some sort of deal.
Only then did Hai Chao stealthily return to Gan Shang's side.
Suddenly, the refugees who had originally planned to stay
Came toward Ju Tianrui's group in a hostile manner.
It appeared they were up to no good.
"You can't leave? If you go, what about our safety?"
"Yes, you can't leave. Even in the apocalypse, you must protect our safety."
"Why must you leave, anyway? It would be better to cooperate with Mr. Gan. Why destroy the harmony that was here?"
"Mr. Gan is a good man, why do you have to oppose him!"
"You're not allowed to leave."
...
Hearing their words, the brothers around Ju Tianrui had their chests heaving, visibly enraged.
And Dong Tai was even more furious.
What did they mean by them disrupting the peaceful environment?
How were they opposing Gan Shang?
Were they blind to the things Gan Shang had done before?
Did they not know about the walls Ju Tianrui had built?
Were they not aware that although the food was in Gan Shang's hands, he didn't distribute any of it, and he even let people traffic humans? And the incident that just happened, Ju Tianrui had given all his scarce food to them, had they forgotten about it?
Stupid!
Uneducated masses!
They weren't ignorant; they hadn't forgotten.
It was just that they knew Ju Tianrui was a good person.
A good man.
A damn good man.
In that moment, Dong Tai couldn't help but want to burst out shouting, "Are all of you blind? What did you just eat? Why don't you question Gan Shang instead? Trading people, don't you know about that?"
The refugees were momentarily at a loss for words.
But they still remained there, unyielding, with even one of them stepping forward to try and stop the others from leaving Juzi Island.
Those who wanted to leave were naturally those who could see the truth; they were determined to break free and leave.
"Why? Why do you have to be like this?" Witnessing this absurd scene, Dong Tai's worldview collapsed once again.
The last time it collapsed was when the apocalypse had just erupted.
Among them was a refugee who seemed honest and simple, also one of those who came over to block Ju Tianrui.
"Because, because you guys are decent people."
"Crap."
Dong Tai felt like he was about to spew blood in frustration.
"Good people, should they always give in? Do good people have to listen to you? What kind of damned logic is this!"
The refugee was unmoved, remembering what Hai Chao had told him earlier.
So, he spoke up, "You can leave if you want, but there are so many of us here. Leave your guns behind then. You are more capable, even without guns, you can survive."
???
Dong Tai looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Shameless!
He had thought people could be shameless, but never imagined they could reach such levels of shamelessness.
Telling blatant lies was one thing.
He clearly knew that if his group were to leave Juzi Island, amidst the countless zombies outside, without firearms, how could they resist the zombies?
"Dream on, get lost!" Dong Tai roared.
He turned his head, unwilling to deal with these people anymore.
However, clearly, this refugee understood the soldiers well, knew they were people of principle, knew what kind of person Ju Tianrui was.
So, he pushed his luck further, saying, "Hehe, you talk a good talk, but in the end, it's all a front. You're all just selfish people who only think about yourselves. Really, when the apocalypse came, you're no longer yourselves.
Killing zombies doesn't require firearms only.
Use knives instead. Leave the guns to us, and you use knives.
If you do this, we will remember your kindness."
From a distance, Gan Shang, seeing this play out, seeing the constipated expression on Ju Tianrui's face as if he had swallowed feces, felt a wave of satisfaction wash over him.
