The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became strange.
Thirty-seven heads and main leaders in their respective fields looked at General Lin Zhan who broke in through the door in shock.
Kill!?
It was clear that ten minutes ago, even Commander Zhang, who was least optimistic about Lin An, did not express any such intention.
Even in the minds of most people, even if they have never met Lin An, they still have a good impression of him.
No matter what, Lin An also brought glory to the country and gave China a boost!
Ignoring Nie Ping's angry glare, Lin Zhan pulled out his chair and sat down with a stern expression.
The middle-aged man in charge of military area logistics hesitated for a moment and then asked.
"Admiral Lin, are your words going too far?"
"We haven't made any contact with Lin An, and we don't even know who he is."
Lin Zhan heard the sound and turned to look at the defense logistics director, his eyes cold.
"So didn't I say that? If you dare to disobey the order and refuse to hand over the token, you will be killed!"
"It's not like I didn't give him a chance!"
After Nie Ping heard this, he felt nameless anger rushing into his heart.
He took a deep breath and stood up without showing any signs of weakness.
"Lin Zhan! Don't you think this is too chilling!"
"If you resist the order, you will be killed!?"
"Why!"
"What kind of law stipulates! If you resist an order, you will be killed! Even if Lin An is a soldier, he will be tried in a military court!"
"To put it bluntly, even if Lin An doesn't want to serve the country, we will kill him!?"
"Am I, Nie Ping, unable to do my job that day? If I no longer want to lead troops, you will kill me on the spot!!"
Hearing Nie Ping's words, everyone present quickly stood up to dissuade him.
"General Nie is going too far! You can't say this!"
"You are an elder and the backbone of China. Who dares to do anything to you? I will be the first to deny it!"
From top to bottom, everyone looked at the two people who were full of gunpowder with sad faces.
One of Nie Lin is a veteran leader, and the other is an emerging iron-blooded hawk. The friction between them is not just a day or two.
Although Lin Zhan usually behaves a bit unhumanly, he is not like he is today.
Lin Zhan snorted coldly and glanced at Nie Ping, who was full of anger.
"Kill you? I don't dare."
"But Lin An? Is there anything that can't be killed?"
After he sat down, his tone became less aggressive. He just calmly picked up the report on the table and continued:
"General Nie, in fact, you also listened to the analysis just made by the staff."
"Lin An is not important, and neither is the safe zone."
"What really matters is the title of the first safe zone!"
"If he, Lin An, had evil intentions, he would directly raise his arms and call for the establishment of a new district, and even recruit people aggressively."
"Jianguo! Divide the people!"
"Deceive people's hearts! If you spread the word that China is about to collapse, he, Lin An, is the hope!"
"Tell me, how should we deal with it!?"
Lin Zhan sighed softly, his eyes dark.
"You underestimate what the name of the first safe zone means in this apocalyptic era."
"We can surmise that by hope, humanity's fire is just any safe zone, but what about everyone else?"
"They will only feel that the safe zone established by Lin An is their only hope to survive in the doomsday! It is the fire in the darkness!"
"The people's hearts are like water! If Lin An is willing, he can make big waves and shake the people's hearts in an instant!"
At the edge of the conference room, a young man in military uniform suddenly spoke:
"I agree with General Lin Zhan's statement."
"You all have subconsciously overlooked this point."
"Our current decrees do not leave the capital, and we have no ability to interfere with the outside world."
"It's okay in the short term. People's hearts and minds still recognize us as orthodox."
"How long has it been? Have you forgotten that even under the iron-blooded hand of our military control, how many people have begun to ignore the law and the political power!?"
"This is the end of the world! You can imagine other areas."
"Lin Ancheng also achieved the glory of being the world's number one, and he failed here."
"If he cannot be used by us, in a sense he is reducing our prestige and shaking the country's foundation!"
Lin Zhan looked at the young soldier in the corner and nodded slowly, then continued:
"I have gathered people before coming to prepare for the safe zone mission. I believe it won't be long before we can establish a safe zone."
"So, in the chat channel opened 17 hours ago, I didn't give him a chance."
"Take the initiative to contact us and be willing to cooperate to hand over the token and merge into the capital."
Nie Ping looked around and found that most people seemed to be convinced by Lin Zhan's words.
He slowly sat back down and said to himself:
"I've been on the front lines since the apocalypse broke out."
“Not afraid of your jokes”
"I."
Nie Ping laughed at himself.
"I'm very scared. I'm afraid that my men's defense line will be lost. I'm afraid that my soldiers will die again."
"Day by day, the days are getting harder and harder."
"Do you know what the death rate is on the first line of defense?"
He looked around and no one dared to look at him except Lin Zhan.
"22%, the death rate of the first line of defense is 20%!"
"Do you know what this means!? This fucking battle fatality rate is 20% every day!"
"So far, my soldiers have changed for three rounds! No one has survived to the tenth day!"
Nie Ping's face turned red due to excitement. He glared at Lin Zhan, who had a calm face, and spoke slowly.
"I have seen mutants, and any mutant is a nightmare for the defense line."
"Bullets can't kill, and explosives can't hit. We can only use human lives to fill it, with the lives of soldiers! With the lives of awakened people!"
"I don't care if Lin An really killed so many mutants with the power of a certain military region, but he must have faced these monsters!"
"Only the Awakened can hold back these monsters!"
"A person who can lead his men and dare to fight monsters, I, Nie Ping, respect him as a hero!"
"Dare to stand up in this doomsday, dare to fight monsters to build a safe zone! Dare to take responsibility and protect one side!"
"Why should such a person be suspicious of us?"
"Is it because he is better than you, better than here, and better than everyone else!"
"boom!"
Nie Ping couldn't help but slapped the table and stood up again. He had never been as emotional as he was today in all these years.
There was no special reason, but the moment Lin An established the safe zone, countless soldiers burst into tears, feeling that their days were brighter and that there was hope!
Before the global announcement came out, there was no electricity and no communication.
A lot of people are thinking about that.
Are you the last survivor? Have other places become a corpse realm?
Are our family members far away dead? Why are we fighting so hard?
Everyone was aware of it until the moment the announcement appeared.
They are not trapped on an island fighting alone among billions of corpses!
They are not poor bastards living on their last legs.
There are still people in China who are struggling to light the fire of hope!
Nie Ping stood up straight, lowered his head and looked into Lin Zhan's eyes, word by word.
"You are afraid."
"I'm afraid that he is really like you speculated, so what should I do if I raise my arms and cry out for him?"
"Afraid that he will become the hope in people's hearts."
"What will people think of us poor bastards on an island?"
"Afraid of someone being better than you."
"Afraid that he will take away everything you have now!"
