"Well~ I know everyone's probably thinking we can breathe easy now that we've killed the zombie dogs, but..." Tang Xiaoquan hesitated mid-sentence, and this subconscious act undoubtedly made the survivors, who had just calmed their hearts, tense up again.

"What, what exactly do you want to say, Quanzi?" Wang Qiang asked without hesitation, a hint of tension surfacing on his weary face.

"Sigh~" A long, helpless sigh escaped, as Lin Junfu seemed to have guessed what the young man wanted to say. He wiped the sweat off his cheek and then laughed bitterly, "I think, Little Tang, you're worried there might be more corpse dogs coming to attack the factory, right!"

Lin Junfu's words immediately tightened the already tense expressions of everyone present, after all, the horrific memories left by the five corpse dogs were indeed too intense, so...

"More corpse dog attacks? Hey, hey, hey, I'm telling you, Quanzi, you can't just say things like that!" Wang Qiang, adhering to the principle of "bad things are more likely to happen", was evidently a bit displeased with his brother's statement.

Even though he knew the latter wasn't speaking recklessly, humans inherently tend to dislike things they don't want to accept.

And it's no different for Tang Xiaoquan. If this wasn't the apocalypse, he probably wouldn't want to mention the terrifying "zombie dogs" for even a second.

But reality is reality, to survive, there are things you have to face.

"Phew~" Tang Xiaoquan also took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and then seriously said, "I'm not speaking recklessly, I'm serious. You all probably know that the countryside is different from the city, although the population density here is relatively lower, basically every household has the habit of raising dogs, so..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Tang Xiaoquan's meaning was already very clear. After a brief silence, Wu Chao voiced his doubts, "But Quanzi, don't you find it strange? We didn't encounter many zombie dogs on our way into the village; maybe the people here aren't fond of keeping dogs in the first place!"

Wu Chao obviously didn't want to accept Tang Xiaoquan's statement; he tried to use his viewpoint to rebut the other.

Unfortunately, to his surprise, just as he finished speaking, Wei Dazhuang, who stood beside him, poured cold water on him, denying, "Impossible! Most people here keep dogs, mainly for guarding the house and yard!!"

An unspeaking silence fell over them; by this point, there was nothing left to say. But just as Wu Chao mentioned, the whereabouts of so many zombie dogs remained an unsolved mystery.

Tang Xiaoquan had thought about this carefully ever since he returned from the last search mission, but due to the lack of clues, he could only conclude that the beasts disappeared while pursuing prey.

However, concerning the current "Zhongkun Textile", where the corpse dogs are doesn't seem that important. What matters is how to prepare the plant for defense and how to successfully repel them if they show up again; that is the pressing issue that needs addressing.

The young man's worried fingers tapped lightly on the table, drawing Lin Junfu into thought. As the current de facto leader of "Zhongkun Textile", he couldn't ignore the safety of everyone in the plant.

"Let's hear everyone's opinions; what should we do?" Without a doubt, when it came to dealing with zombie dogs, anyone here would have more experience than Lin Junfu, so he readily handed the topic back to the group.

Everyone looked at each other blankly; aside from Tang Xiaoquan, they hadn't even considered this issue. Asking them to discuss strategies was like forcing ducks to take to the water—there was nothing to say.

Finally, with no other option, and according to the principle of "he who tied the knot must untie it", everyone collectively turned their gaze towards Tang Xiaoquan, the one who proposed the idea.

Faced with their eager looks, Tang Xiaoquan felt a bit helpless. He had just come back from the front lines—how was he supposed to think through everything in such a short amount of time?

While he couldn't discuss the finer points, he could at least talk about the big picture.

After pondering briefly and organizing his thoughts, Tang Xiaoquan slowly spoke, "My personal suggestion for dealing with zombies right now is mainly defense. Utilize the advantage of the factory's walls to maneuver around. Specifically, first, strengthen the guards and operate round the clock; second, keep the main doors of the main building as closed as possible, so even if the zombie dogs break through the main entrance, we have a second line of defense to fall back to; third, continue reinforcing the defenses at the main gate to prevent a swarm attack from the zombie dogs! Besides, Qiang, you're pretty good with weapon designs; see if you can come up with some special equipment to tackle the zombie dogs."

With this, Tang Xiaoquan laid out all the strategies he could think of.

While listening intently, Lin Junfu couldn't help but admire the young man's meticulous and swift thinking.

Certainly, he had also thought of some countermeasures, some of which coincided with the young man's ideas. But when it came to the level of detail, Lin Junfu had to concede in admiration.

Without further ado, Lin Junfu immediately agreed to Tang Xiaoquan's three proposals. And Wang Qiang, because of his brother's "mention", felt proud, unconsciously swaying his cocked leg.

After wrapping up that matter, once everyone calmed down a bit, Tang Xiaoquan continued, "Well~ there's one more thing I need to bring up with you, Mr. Lin."

"Oh?" Raising an eyebrow slightly, Lin Junfu's lips curved with a slight smile as he asked, "What is it? Little Tang, feel free to speak your mind."

It was unclear why, but Lin Junfu suddenly hoped the young man in front of him would share more of his ideas. He sensed, subtly, that the latter could always inadvertently pinpoint the critical issues within the plant and propose appropriate solutions.

Tang Xiaoquan remained composed, maintaining a solemn expression—it was clear the topic he was about to broach wouldn't be light.

Seemingly understanding the young man's mannerisms, everyone else in the room also adjusted their postures, straightening their backs as they sat upright, waiting for him to speak.

The scorching sun grew more intense, as noon approached, fiery tongues of heat began devouring the scarred earth. The entire city turned into a massive furnace, and the survivors inside this furnace were drenched in sweat, nervously awaiting what was about to be said.

Tang Xiaoquan brushed off the sweat from his forehead and then carelessly flicked it away. The scattered sweat beads glimmered in the sunlight, and as those bright spots evaporated into vapor, Tang Xiaoquan finally opened his mouth to speak...
