At this moment, Shen San also looked at Lin Dong in terror, his mind going blank. Zhao Wan'er, seeing that Lin Dong's identity had been exposed, sighed helplessly. Then she turned her gaze to Lin Dong and the remaining two colleagues. The two male police officers, seeing the turn of events, also looked at Lin Dong in a fluster. Ultimately, it was Zhao Wan'er who stepped forward first. "Everyone. Quiet." "Keep it down, everyone. Do you want to attract all the Zombies outside to come in?" Seeing everyone cover their mouths in fear, Zhao Wan'er continued. "Everyone, I admit, Lin Dong did kill someone." "But I want to ask you all to think about, who is our enemy right now?" "Is it Lin Dong?" "The answer is obvious. It's not!" "The biggest problem now is the Zombies outside the door, they are the most dangerous existence." "And Lin Dong just saved all of us. Have you forgotten?" "It was he who shot and killed the Zombies just now, saving everyone in the supermarket!" "I don't care if you admit it or not. Up to this point, only Lin Dong can lead us to survive better in the Apocalypse!" After Zhao Wan'er finished speaking, the crowd exchanged glances and then lowered their heads. Zhao Wan'er's words were logical and well-founded, immediately causing everyone present to fall into deep thought. Indeed. Currently, the only one with the ability and capability to lead everyone to survive was Lin Dong alone! Just based on Lin Dong's methods of killing Zombies and his excellent marksmanship, it was enough to prove his strength! After hearing Zhao Wan'er's words, a clear-headed man in suit was the first to raise his hand. "I agree! I think Officer Zhao is right!" "We must follow Lin Dong to survive better!" With the man in suit taking the lead, a short-haired woman also stepped forward. "That's right! I agree too!" "It's the Apocalypse. Only Lin Dong can lead us to survive better here now!" "And our food is limited at the moment, saving food is very necessary! I agree to Lin Dong being the leader." After that, many more people raised their hands. "I agree too!" "I agree too." "I also approve of Lin Dong as the leader." Seeing the people beside them express their opinions, the fat woman and the muscular man exchanged glances, their expressions becoming increasingly grim. Finally, the two of them also had to raise their hands. "Alright, I agree too." "Alright, as long as Lin Dong doesn't kill people randomly anymore, I agree." Just like that, everyone present expressed their agreement to let Lin Dong be everyone's leader. At this moment, everyone had reached a consensus. Everyone turned their gaze to Lin Dong. Everyone looked at Lin Dong with anticipation, waiting for him to say something. But at this moment, Lin Dong shook his head with a look of disdain. "Ridiculous." "Who said I would lead you to survive in the Apocalypse?" Lin Dong's words immediately made everyone's faces freeze. Everyone's eyes widened as they stared blankly at Lin Dong. Lin Dong continued his earth-shattering statement. "Your life and death have nothing to do with me?" "I will not lead you to survive in the Apocalypse." "To survive, you can only rely on yourselves in the end." "I will not take you burdensome people with me to survive." "Maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight, I will leave." "As for your life and death, it has nothing to do with me!" Having said that, Lin Dong paused slightly and continued. "As for the supplies in the supermarket, I don't covet them," "But one thing, you must understand!" "As long as I am here for one day, everything here is decided by me!" "The food in the supermarket, if I give it to you, you can take it. If I don't, no one is allowed to snatch it!" After speaking, Lin Dong's sharp gaze swept across everyone present, and wherever his gaze fell, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes! After hearing Lin Dong's words, Zhao Wan'er also looked at him with shock. "You want to leave here!? Why?" Zhao Wan'er's question voiced the doubts in everyone's heart. Lin Dong glanced at Zhao Wan'er and said calmly. "No reason. It's just because I want to leave here." "Also, your brains should wake up now." "What do you think this place is? A survivor camp? This is just a supermarket on the verge of bankruptcy." "How long can the supplies here last? What will you do when the food runs out? What if the Zombies break in one day?" After Lin Dong finished speaking, everyone present fell silent. Lin Dong continued. "So, only by leaving here can we survive better." At this moment, the man in suit timidly raised his hand. "Leader Lin, can you take me with you? I am willing to follow you." Lin Dong didn't even look up at the man in suit, and immediately shook his head firmly. Then Lin Dong curled his lips and continued. "I think... you might not have understood what I meant. Let me add one more thing." "The burdens I just mentioned include everyone present." "Understood?" After Lin Dong's forceful display of authority, everyone shut their mouths tightly, not daring to say any more.

For the entire afternoon, Lin Dong searched online for various news about the meteorite. However, unfortunately, Lin Dong did not find any other news about the meteorite. Night fell. Lin Dong leaned back in his chair, looking up the best route to Lanting Villa Area online while eating instant noodles. After planning his route to Lanting Villa Area, Lin Dong sent a greeting message to Li Ergou. With Lin Dong's reminder, Li Ergou prepared ample food and water, enough to last him at home for several months. At this moment, there was a knock on the warehouse door. Zhao Wan'er's voice came from outside. "Lin Dong? Can I come in?" "You can." Zhao Wan'er came beside Lin Dong and said. "Lin Dong, I have something I want to discuss with you." Lin Dong glanced at Zhao Wan'er and was immediately attracted by a glimpse of white inside her collar. However, the next moment, Lin Dong immediately adjusted his gaze. "If you want me to stay and be a scapegoat, then you don't need to speak." Hearing Lin Dong say this, Zhao Wan'er sighed helplessly. "Alright. Then can I trouble you with something else?" Lin Dong looked at Zhao Wan'er without speaking, waiting for her to continue. Zhao Wan'er took out a map of H City and said. "There is a police station to the northeast of the supermarket. We want to go with you to get some weapons and ammunition." "We know where the key to the armory is, and you can also get more weapons to protect yourself at the same time."
