End Times, Surviving with My Beastly Army novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231 Hearts Won

“As for those who aren’t willing to accept us, we won’t drive you out of the base. But at the same time, you’ll lose the qualification to receive half a bag of rice for free.”

“Every month? That’s a whole bag of rice!”.

“Is this real? Why have we never had something this good before?”

“Could this be a scam? There are so many people in the base, and supplies are already so tight. Where would they even get that much rice?”

“But I don’t think it’s fake… look behind her. There’s literally a wall of rice.”

“Seriously, why are you all hung up on this right now? Does it even matter to us who the base commander is? That’s not something we need to worry about. The only thing that matters is who can give us a better life.”

That one sentence snapped everyone awake.

Exactly. At a time like this, did it really matter who the base commander was?

They didn’t have any personal connection with that guy. Whether he lived or died had nothing to do with them. The only thing that mattered was whether they themselves could survive.

No one hesitated anymore. No one even knew who started it, but someone suddenly shouted, “You’re handing out rice, right? Then starting today, you’re the commanders of Redwood Military Base!”

“Yeah! From now on, you call the shots!”

“What did you just say? Line up, right? We’ll line up! We’ll do it right now!”

The massive crowd began forming lines on their own. It didn’t take long before the noisy chaos turned into orderly silence.

Blending into the crowd, Willard looked a little dazed.

He suddenly understood why Robin had chosen to start with Centerville and Outerville.

The residents here had no direct ties to the upper management of the base, and there were no shared interests binding them. Their lives were already hard enough, and the only thing they cared about was whether they could survive. They had no energy to worry about anyone else.

And once Robin had secured Centerville and Outerville in one move, taking over Innerville would no longer be a problem.

Willard took a deep breath and couldn’t help but look up at the sky.

The murky sky over Redwood Military Base finally seemed to be clearing up.

Looking at the long, orderly line forming outside the ice wall, Robin nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad. Looks like everyone’s pretty aware. As for you…”

She lifted her head and looked coldly at the man who was still suspended in the air by Martin’s whirlwind. “You traded your own wife for the right to stay in Centerville. Redwood Military Base doesn’t need someone like you.”

“Why-”
