Chapter 691: Open the Door, My Friends! We’re Here to Send You a Warm Greeting! Part 2

The leadership members continued to speculate for a while. Unfortunately, the commotion of the villagers’ discussion began to grow louder and gradually went out of control.

Chen Shen shook his head helplessly and stepped on the brakes right in front of the building.

“How about we go in to investigate?”

Whoa!

As soon as his words fell, the people in the car who were still deep in thought suddenly reacted very strongly as if they were suddenly shocked.

Li Hu immediately cast his vote in favor of the suggestion.

“Chen Shen’s right. I think we should go in to investigate. We wouldn’t be able to live peacefully with a possible threat outside our village. Even if a ghost or snake waits inside, we must launch the first move against it! At least, we will be able to gain the upper hand and be mentally prepared if a battle breaks out. Otherwise, we’ll be in deep trouble if they ambush us while we’re unprepared!

“We’ll have to strike first!”

“No, that’s inappropriate. Although we have a lot of equipment and weapons left, in the absence of our shelter leader, we’re lacking in combat strength. I’m afraid we’d suffer heavy casualties if the enemy is significantly stronger than us. We should set up a defensive formation around it for the time being and wait for the slater leader to return to further plan a strategy.”

Shen Ke, who was much more collected, immediately shook his head in disapproval.

One approach was aggressive, while the other was more cautious.

“I think we should implement both a defensive formation and lead a team into the building to investigate simultaneously. We can’t lose our decision-making skills whenever the shelter leader leaves. The people who suddenly showed up are already bizarre enough. If we can’t figure out the reason for the mysterious appearance of this building, it’ll be hard for us to cope if more strange things start descending in the future.”

The veteran, Su Deben, also voiced his opinion and purposely emphasized the word “descending.”

Everyone almost immediately took a deep breath simultaneously and responded with silence.

The strangers and strange buildings were at least considered within their capabilities to handle.

However, it would be just as Su Deben had mentioned. They would be forced to face reality when more strange things that were out of their imaginations appeared.

“Everyone is going to die eventually. The only difference is whether you die making a difference or doing nothing at all!

“Su Deben is right! We should reflect on our bad habit of relying on our shelter leader.”

Chen Shen knew he would have given it more consideration before making such a rash decision if they were on earth.

After all, it was a huge decision that risked the safety of the thousand people in the village.

Fortunately, they were in the wasteland.

Humanity has already lost so much, and the only thing they had left was their pitiful lives!

The residents, including someone like Chen Shen, had already prepared themselves for death a long time ago.

Chen Shen decided without further hesitation.

“Here’s the plan. Li Hu will lead fifty people with weapons to prepare for a direct attack. Su Deben will also lead another fifty people to set up a defensive circle around the building.

“The time right now is twelve-forty in the afternoon. Our plan will officially take place at three in the afternoon!

“Also, the strange people who have no memories are refrained from participating in this mission. Chen Kai, you go and make arrangements for them to try to identify the building one at a time to see if they could provide any clues about it.

“Shen Ke, prepare to allocate resources whenever needed. You must be fully prepared to react to any changes, whether the team is escaping or fighting back.

As the village chief, Chen Shen’s authority was only second to Su Chan without Su Mo’s presence in the village.

However, Su Chan never dealt with official matters, and the others did not have any objections after Chen Shen issued the order. Everyone instantly nodded and accepted the tasks delegated to them.

Now that they had a plan, they immediately began to get to work, and time passed quickly.

Instantly, the emergency plan they had prepared for the village was activated.

First, most of the villagers who surrounded the building were immediately ordered to return to the village and prepare for the war. They had to be ready to fight or retreat whenever necessary during the mission.

Afterward, many people were stationed at the resource room’s door. They were on standby to grab the supplies and escape the territory to prepare for a counterattack if there were any unexpected changes during the battle.

Li Hu arranged for some personnel to guard the underground shelter door and be prepared to evacuate with the items inside if things went south.

Next, he began to gear up and prepare various weapons.

Automatic rifles and shotguns were their basic combat tools. Even with insufficient bullets, they could still arm fifty people with one gun and four cartridges of bullets.

They also had ten of each three-minute, five-minute, and ten-minute time bomb. The explosives were enough to turn a small piece of land into a scorched dessert immediately after being denoted.

Each person was also equipped with five hand-made grenades with an explosive range of 15 meters. It was a crucial weapon in a large-scale battle.

Additionally, they also had two powerful trinitrotoluene explosives.

They had really little inventory of it in the village.

It was not because of a cumbersome manufacturing process or scarce raw materials but because they could not find a good launching method for the explosive for the time being.

The explosive could easily cause colossal damage to the enemies but also deal many casualties to their team if used in their usual combat strategies.

The reason Li Hu took them was very straightforward.

It was their last option when things got to a point where there was no way for him and the others to escape. He planned to denote the explosive and give the other villagers precious time to evacuate and reformulate a plan.

Meanwhile, Su Deben’s team had the most preparations. Still, there were progressing very smoothly thanks to their emergency plan drafted in case of an unexpected emergency and a large number of semi-completed defense facilities in the village.

He drove out the King Kong excavator and led his troop of fifty soldiers.
