Chen Shi Tou announced: “Some of you might have guessed – We are allocating machetes and shields to you because we want you to fight against the zombies. If you do not have the guts to do so, put down your weapon and your shield and walk out of here. From this moment onwards, you have nothing more to do with us. But if you are willing to fight against the zombies, I will guarantee that each of you will have enough to eat every, and you also have a chance to earn meat to eat.”
After listening to Chen Shi Tou, many men among the 400 survivors turned pale. The machetes and shields in their hands dropped to the floor as they shook uncontrollably.
Fighting with zombies is not that easy. These zombies look horrible, and there is a high chance of being infected with the zombie virus. One hit is all it takes to turn you into a zombie.
One survivor threw down his machete and shield and walked out. Even if he could have more food to eat, he also refused to fight against the zombies. This is especially true if he is armed with just a machete and a shield to fight.
As if the first man leaving the camp had opened the floodgates to leave, one by one, more and more men chose to leave the camp. After a short while, over 200 men have chosen to leave. Only 100+ survivors remain.
The most important aspects of this team were courage and guts. Without courage and guts, it is impossible for these men to fight. If Yue Zhong has more time, he will not allow a single man to leave this camp. He will make sure that all of these men will be brave and willing to fight the zombies.
But at this moment, time is what Chen Shi Tou lacked the most. Slowly but surely, these zombies are coming. Right now, he can only let those without guts to fight to leave his camp.
Those who left are all survivors that joined LongHai Survivor Camp relatively recently. They had not experienced hunger for a long, and still believes that the authorities will not ditch them and will provide help to them.
But the men who stayed are all pioneers who had stayed in LongHai Survivor Camp for a long time. They were already so hungry and oppressed until they could not withstand the hunger. As long as there were food for them to eat, they were ready to do anything.
If forced into a corner, a human will show extraordinary strength as he retaliates. However, if given a choice, almost all man will not chose to fight with their lives on the line. Now that these men had experienced hunger and were cornered by the authorities, these men were willing to fight. To kill zombies in exchange for food? Not a problem! Dying in combat is so better than dying of hunger!
Chen Shi Tou looked at the 100+ remaining men, and said: “Excellent! Now swing your blade downwards 100 times!”
All the 100+ remaining men began practicing swinging their machetes.
Chen Shi Tou was assigned as the trainer for these 100+ men. He was the best hunter in Chen Family Village, and have experience numerous battles with Yue Zhong with his Tang Imitation Sword. This gave him some knowledge of using a sabre. Although his skills are not as good as a master of a sabre, but he had no problems teaching new recruits the correct way to swing their machetes for maximum impact.
