The room was filled with an array of weapons, boxes of ammunition stacked neatly.

It nearly stuffed the entire room.

"Hiss~~"

After an unknown amount of time, everyone collectively took a sharp breath.

They finally snapped back to reality.

Lin Yuennan, Zhai Jin, and Chen Tianjun nearly rushed in simultaneously.

"M1910 Maxim machine gun, Type 77 heavy machine gun."

"Type 82-2 hand grenade."

"M320 grenade launcher."

"Steel-core armor-piercing rounds, rocket launcher."

"M2 anti-personnel mine."

.....

The three of them went mad.

Wang Hao here was practically a mini-armory.

Besides having a large number of light and heavy weapons, there was also a vast amount of ammunition, grenades, high-explosive grenades, and mines.

And they were all the real deal.

"With these things, defending this place is no longer a pipe dream."

Chen Tianjun's face was full of excitement.

Happy!

He was truly happy!

As a soldier, it was extremely painful to watch civilians die in front of his eyes.

Now, with these resources, he had the means to save these people.

"Where did you get all this stuff from? Don't tell me you hoarded it all before the apocalypse."

Lin Yuennan looked towards Wang Hao.

Such a quantity of weapons, in a civilized society, not to mention Wang Hao, even she couldn't possibly acquire them.

These were all military-grade equipment!

Was Wang Hao an Immortal?

What kind of secrets was he hiding?

"How I got them, don't worry about it. I have my ways.

You really think I, Wang Hao, could live so comfortably in this post-apocalyptic world just because I'm crazy?"

Wang Hao's lips curled into a mysterious smile.

The unknown is the most terrifying.

Now, in everyone's eyes, Wang Hao was a complete enigma.

Everything before could be explained by him being an apocalypse nut.

But these weapons could not be easily ignored.

Forget about this room full of weapons and ammunition.

Even a single handgun would not have been something someone like Wang Hao could get hold of before the apocalypse.

"So? Do any of you want to join me?"

Wang Hao issued the invitation once again:

"Even if you safely reach the Settlement Camp, except for Lin Yuennan, the two of you will just be cannon fodder.

Even you, Lin Yuennan, due to your abilities, will likely be assigned to carry out high-risk, dangerous missions.

But with me, besides me, you'll be the bosses here, and the conditions here are excellent in all respects, even better than many places in the Settlement Camp.

If you want to rescue the civilians, you can. There are still many survivors in the city, and you can rescue them while searching for supplies, helping us to establish this place as a new Settlement Camp. What do you say?"

Wang Hao's words tempted both Chen Tianjun and Zhai Jin.

Wang Hao was right; going to the Settlement Camp might offer a slightly better life, but it still meant living with their heads hanging by a thread.

Chen Tianjun, having come from the Settlement Camp, understood this acutely.

The casualty rate of the rescue teams was much higher than of those searching for supplies.

They lived day-to-day!

If it were before, he would absolutely not have stayed.

After all, while Wang Hao had reasonable defenses, there was too little weaponry and ammunition.

Forget a zombie horde, even a single level-two creature could turn this place into a river of blood.

But now things were different.

With so much weaponry and ammunition, everything had changed.

Most importantly, it was Wang Hao!

Though he didn't know the major secret Wang Hao was hiding.

But this man was definitely not simple.

Staying by his side was probably safer than being in the Settlement Camp.

"I'll stay."

Zhai Jin was the first to express his stance.

He, unlike Lin Yuennan, had no backing in the Settlement Camp, and unlike Chen Tianjun, had no foundation.

Going to the Settlement Camp, his fate would likely be cannon fodder.

The journey was fraught with dangers, so he might as well stay here.

During this time, he had already hooked up with a pretty, wealthy young widow in the villa.

If they survived this wave, he would enjoy life to the fullest.

It would be worth it, even if he died afterward.

"I... I'll stay too."

Chen Tianjun hesitated for a moment before choosing to stay.

People!

They always have selfish motives; who wants to die if they can live?

Who doesn't want a better life?

Besides, he could still fight here, still rescue civilians, still serve the nation; he wasn't deserting.

Among the three, only Lin Yuennan hadn't yet stated her decision.

Her eyes shifted, but she remained silent.

"Cousin! Stay! Stay!"

Sun Yaoyao ran over, shaking her arm and acting cute.

"If you're not here, Yaoyao will get bullied all alone, stay, I don't want to be separated from you."

"Sigh... alright! I'll stay."

In the end, Lin Yuennan chose to stay.

She wasn't too keen on going to the Settlement Camp anyway, but she had orders from her superiors.

But now it didn't matter.

Her special operations team might not even exist anymore.

And in such critical times, orders are often disregarded!

She felt it was good to stay here.

Also, she wanted to see what secrets Wang Hao was hiding.

And the mysterious person who had helped her twice before.

Who was he?

Could it be Wang Hao?

"Since you've chosen to follow me, there's no turning back."

Wang Hao's gaze was sharp as he surveyed the three: "If you plan to be like those previous residents, jumping back and forth, riding the fence, then don't blame me when the time comes for not warning you."

"We won't go back on our word!"

The three of them answered in unison.

"Alright, get people in here, and take everything out.

Leave the fighting to you."

Wang Hao promptly chose to be hands-off.

And it didn't bother him in the slightest.

When it comes to fighting, he truly was inexperienced.

He wasn't even that familiar with handling these weapons.

Suddenly, it seemed like Chen Tianjun remembered something, his eyes widened, and cold sweat trickled down.

"If I had chosen to go hard against you before..."

Yes, he finally remembered his previous conflict with Wang Hao.

Back then, Wang Hao was incredibly firm, completely disregarding them.

At the time, Chen Tianjun thought of him as a foolhardy youth, even regarded him as a real madman.

Now it seemed, the crazy ones were them!

If it were him, with a warehouse full of weapons, he'd probably be ten times more arrogant than Wang Hao.

"I would let you taste a rain of grenades."

Wang Hao joked, half-seriously.

Chen Tianjun instinctively gulped.

Zhai Jin and Lin Yuennan's faces also slightly changed.

The three of them broke into a cold sweat.

This joke of Wang Hao's hinted at his ruthlessness.

If war truly broke out, the lives of those civilians, even Lin Yuennan's, might mean nothing to him.

A single wave would wipe out everything.

Luckily, war hadn't erupted!
