Chapter 42: Retreat

"Nope." As soon as General Murong finished speaking, some people objected.

It was Wen Yizhuang, the head of power in the Wen family, who is now the minister of national security. He was in his sixties, his face was wrinkled, his hair was completely gray, but he was in good spirits. The end of the world came suddenly, and although Wen Yizhuang was shocked, he did not lose confidence. He has been in the army for more than 40 years, and he has never seen any battles. He firmly believes that together we can get through this crisis.

The Wen family's base camp was in the capital, and if they were to evacuate Kyoto, the Wen family's foundation would be greatly damaged. This is also one of the reasons why Wen Yizhuang does not want to withdraw.

Although the others did not express their position clearly, it can be roughly inferred from their performance that they also do not agree with Old General Murong either.

Those who can sit in this position are basically supported by a family behind them, and even if they don't, they have dealings with other families. Once they withdraw from the capital, their existing balance of power will be upset.

In the decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Kyoto's network of relations has permeated every corner, and although there are many ills, a certain order has been maintained.

Of course, although these people have their own selfish intentions, they are not fools after all, and they will not joke about the survival of the country.

The reason why they are reluctant to give up on Kyoto is that they do not realize the seriousness of the problem.

Although there are many mutated people now, their attack power is not strong, even if they are ordinary people, as long as they don't encounter hordes of zombies, the chance of escape is still quite large.

But this is only at this stage, they don't know that these zombies, who are still weak now, will grow into the existence they fear the most in the future.

It was probably the words of the old general Murong that broke the oppressive atmosphere, and now it is no longer dull as before, and everyone has begun to talk about their opinions.

Most people agreed with Wen Yizhuang's point of view, and only two agreed with Old General Murong.

The others decided to stay in the capital because of the existing army.

The capital has a standing army of 100,000 people, plus personnel from other public security departments and reservists, and it is not a problem to gather 300,000 people.

What's more, there are other military regions around the capital, and it is not impossible to clean up the capital with another 100,000 troops and modern high-end weapons.

Their ideas are good, and they can be pushed according to common sense, but things can't always go according to human wishes.

The capital has a population of more than 20 million, and at least 40% of the mutants are infected, and as time goes by, people continue to be bitten and infected, and at least half of the mutated people are informed.

In other words, there are at least 10 million zombies in the capital.

If these zombies don't evolve, the human mill can slowly grind them to death.

But what they didn't expect was that the zombies were evolving at a rate far beyond what they could handle.

Now one person can deal with two or three zombies at the same time, and after a month, they can only deal with one. In another month, ordinary people will not be the opponents of zombies at all.

Wen Yizhuang and the others who didn't want to evacuate, they didn't think that the zombies could be upgraded, but now that things haven't happened, no one is sure what will happen later.

The resident faction led by Wen Yizhuang and the retreat faction led by General Murong were at a stalemate, and no one could convince them.

In the end, it was the chief's speech that stopped the debate.

"Both of you have their own truths, withdrawing from the capital is not a trivial matter, and similarly, there are hidden dangers left behind, plus if you want to withdraw, it will not be solved in a while, I will give you three days now, and after three days, you will bring your own research materials, and we will decide whether to withdraw or stay."

"Now, let's talk about people's livelihood!"
