Li Boyang's words left everyone displeased.
"Base Chief Li, we've been stuck here day after day, sleeping in tents and eating the compressed biscuits we brought ourselves.
Fine, you won't provide food or lodging, but there aren't even any zombies coming. Do you seriously expect us to keep guarding your gates forever?"
The speaker was the only woman among the leaders present: Zhao Chuying, the Chief Team Captain of S City Base's Special Ability Teams.
She had been a special forces soldier before the apocalypse and had awakened wind and fire dual abilities afterward. She was a capable fighter.
She also had a fiery temper, so she snapped right back at him.
Li Boyang's eyes reddened as he started playing the victim again. "I'd like to give everyone better conditions too, but as you can all see, our Future Base is terribly poor.
Some of our own residents don't even have enough to eat. We really can't afford to provide for everyone.
Once the zombies come, you can keep all the crystal cores you collect from killing them. Consider that a token of our gratitude."
The moment Li Boyang finished, everyone's temper flared.
So letting us keep the crystal cores we earn ourselves is supposed to be your token of gratitude?
We've seen shameless people, but never anyone this shameless.
Xie Shannan shouted, abandoning all decorum, **"Fuck this, I can't take it anymore! All this yapping is bullshit. We're leaving! Brother Xuan, I'll take responsibility if anything happens.
At worst, they can strip me of my captain's position and kick me out of the Main Base. I'll go be a foot soldier at Dark Night Base."**
With that, Xie Shannan waved his hand and left with the three thousand members of the Authorities Second Special Ability Team under his command.
