Rewriting My Fate in the Apocalypse-Chapter 356: Forming an Army

They needed to build an army like they had in their previous lives.

This time, the army must be trained better and equipped better too.

This thought made Leng Pan walk away from the window to the living room.

Lu Zhen had been keeping an eye on his wife since they witnessed that scene in the water.

Seeing how her expression had changed from one of grief and sadness to business-like, he knew that something was up.

So, he turned around and followed her to the living room as well.

The others noticed how the two leaders of their team had sat down and walked over too.

"Lu Tao, go and call the others to gather here. I have something important to discuss with them." Leng Pan instructed solemnly, to which Lu Tao obeyed without asking questions.

He had learned a long time ago that he could question his brother, but he could never question the queen in their house, especially when she had that kind of expression.

So, with his tail between his legs, Lu Tao got up and ran out to inform the others about the meeting.

He didn’t even care that he had to descend and climb many floors to pass on the message to everyone.

This was a case of someone bitten by a snake fearing even a rope.

Lu Tao completely forgot that he could contact the others with the watches he had distributed before, and instead ran physically to their doors one by one.

The other members of the family, including Leng Pan noticed this, but they pretended not to have seen anything.

Soon, people started walking into the room one after another. As more people entered the apartment, their body temperatures caused the temperature in the room to rise and the heat to become even more unbearable.

The air conditioner and a couple of fans placed in two spots in the living room couldn’t even help with how the heat had risen.

"At this rate, we are going to start taking off our clothes and walking around naked." Shen Yue muttered while waving a bamboo fan she had found God knows where and fanning herself.

"You can stop complaining. The heat will only get worse.

Early this morning it was still at 25°, then it jumped to over 30°, and now it has crossed 40° and it’s still 8:00 in the morning.

By midday, we would probably be praying to migrate from earth." Zaizai shut down his companion’s complaints with facts that no one wanted to hear.

Leng Pan listened to everyone’s complaints and stood up.

Two big buckets of ice blocks appeared in front of the standing fans inside the living room.

Now when the fans blow cold air, the air passes by the ice before circulating in the room.

With the added ice, the room became cooler than before.

Even though not to the point of being comfortable, it was still a far cry from the earlier torture.

"Everyone is here. Let’s get down to business." Leng Pan called everyone to attention after she was done setting up the ice buckets.

"What is it darling? Did something happen?" Momo, who was the only person who could call Leng Pan pet names jokingly without Lu Zhen losing it, asked curiously.

The others perked up their ears to listen as well.

They were all aware that something that could make Leng Pan call a meeting with all members present was not a joke.

"You have fought zombies in the last few outings and understood their strength.

You know that they are growing stronger by the day and we need to catch up.

Even though our team isn’t small, compared to the number of zombies in the world, we are not even worth mentioning.

We cannot fight a war with zombies and aliens with just the few of us.

We need to build a base, and an army." This was similar to a bombshell that Leng Pan dropped on the people there.

Except for the people who had been with her in the ancient apocalypse and the few soldiers they had recruited into their team, the others were ordinary citizens.

Their thinking was limited to working in an office and the act of learning to fight and going out to kill zombies had taken all their courage. Now telling them to build an army was unimaginable.

However, they were also people with good understanding and knew that Leng Pan was right.

They couldn’t fight a war with just the few of them.

It was just going to be challenging to find people willing to join them.

"Should we build the base here? This is a good spot with roads that are still usable and the buildings, apart from those at the far end that were completely crashed by the meteorites, the others are still fine." Ouyang Jin suggested this because he had seen a map of the community before.

It was one of the newest communities that had been built using improved technology.

The buildings are sturdier and can withstand more natural disasters.

The area was also bi enough with many buildings and facilities, even though they were unusable.

What if they found a way to fix them in the future?

"I think your suggestion isn’t bad. There are many buildings here and each building has up to thirty floors.

With even ten soldiers sharing an apartment, the buildings can accommodate many people.

That way, even if we recruit tens of thousands of soldiers, we can still provide a place for them to live in." Silk added thoughtfully.

In fact, he had been praying for a long time that the leaders decided to recruit more people so that he could take in more of his brothers in the army.

He was sure that many of them would choose to leave if they found out about Commander Qui collaborating with the aliens who had turned their world upside down.

Leng Pan sat there and watched as the teammates discussed how to recruit, who to recruit, and where to station everyone they brought in.

It was so lively that for a moment, she forgot it was the apocalypse.
