Because they saw that Li Wen and his group had guns, and that Lin Qing was also there as a huge deterrent.
Lin Qing then flew out, intending to encircle the Dayun Trading Company's main warehouse with the earthen wall.
Upon seeing Lin Qing's instructions, Li Wen immediately pointed his AK at Zhou Sha and his group. His first priority was to find out what was in the warehouse.
Although he was from the same company as Zhou Sha and his group, he didn't know a single person there, given how big the place was.
"Who's in charge here? Take me to the inventory catalog. I need to know how much stuff we have, what it is, and which warehouse it's stored in," Li Wen asked.
Upon hearing this, the group of people inside the warehouse exchanged glances, and Zhou Sha slowly walked out.
"I'm the manager here, I'll take you there. Um, could you move the gun a little? I'm afraid it might go off accidentally." Zhou Sha wiped the sweat from his brow.
“Don’t worry, I won’t fire it accidentally. Lead the way, Dr. Charles, you watch over them. I’ll be right back,” Li Wen said, turning to Charles.
“Okay! No problem, I don’t think there will be any issues,” Charles said, then he and Nance, the bearded man, translated for him.
After giving his instructions, Lin Qing left the base. The flower beds had turned into huge black holes, and he didn't want to get any more mud inside.
It would be troublesome if it collapsed, so he decided to look for some soil outside.
He spread his divine sense and flew in one direction. Before long, he discovered a cement factory within the range of his divine sense.
"I wonder if mixing mud with cement can control this?" Lin Qing suddenly wondered.
He then flew directly into the cement factory, where he not only discovered the factory but also found eight living people inside.
Lin Qing smashed down the door and then carried the eight people who were still fast asleep inside onto his back.
They all woke up immediately, but before they could react, Lin Qing knocked them all unconscious.
I'm too lazy to explain to them; I'll just have Li Wen explain it to them when we get back.
They didn't care about the people who had fainted; all they wanted was to keep them from waking up or falling.
Lin Qing then pulled the soil out from under the trees outside the cement plant and entered the cement plant.
Then, Lin Qing broke open a bag of cement, mixed it directly with some soil, and spat out some water.
Then Lin Qing controlled the mixture of mud and cement to form a wall, which was then dried by spraying flames.
"Hehe, it'll definitely be very hard now."
Before long, the earthen wall dried out. After the flames were extinguished, Lin Qing noticed that a crack had appeared in the earthen wall.
Then suddenly it covered the entire earthen wall: "What the hell is going on?"
Lin Qing couldn't figure it out, so he woke up the person on his back and used illusion magic to make him answer him honestly.
"My God, soil can't be mixed with cement, sand is the best."
"Damn it, I can't control the sand either. Am I supposed to build all of them as earthen walls?"
"Let's build the earthen wall first, and then have these people come and fix the cement wall tomorrow."
Afterwards, Lin Qing hurriedly led the group back to the base and then sent a telepathic message to Li Wen, asking him to come over.
Not long after, Li Wen came outside: "These eight people are the ones I rescued from the cement factory."
"I'm going to get some cement and sand and have them build a cement wall tomorrow." Lin Qing put the person on the ground.
Then he opened his mouth and spat out everything except for weapons, ammunition, and some of his own belongings.
"Find a place to put these things, and find a safe place to store these hundred barrels of gasoline. This stuff is very important," Lin Qing said.
"Okay, okay, Dragon King, how come these things..." Before Li Wen could finish speaking, he saw Lin Qing fly away in a flash.
Li Wen stared blankly for a while as Lin Qing disappeared into the white mist before he reacted and called for help.
He moved all fifty barrels of gasoline into a warehouse, locked it, and only he had the key; no one else could open it.
Lin Qing arrived at a nearby hill and directly controlled a large amount of soil to head towards the base, rescuing more than a dozen people along the way.
They were knocked unconscious in the same way, and then returned to the base where they were handed over to Li Wen, who then controlled the soil to build earthen walls.
They surrounded the base in circles, each circle three meters high and two meters wide. Once they finished, they discovered that almost everyone inside the base was asleep.
It was Big Beard and Nance who were keeping watch, while Li Wen, his wife, and daughter were half-asleep together.
It's already past 4 a.m., and after running for so long during the day, it's no wonder I'm exhausted.
Nance and the bearded man slept on his back for so long and are now in great spirits; they haven't even adjusted to the time difference yet.
Lin Qing didn't want to wake them, so he flew to the cement factory and filled his storage space with cement.
Looking at how much cement the cement plant still has left, it could probably surround the entire base without any problem.
Add some sand and bricks, and you'll have enough to build a city. But you'll still need to find sand and move bricks.

S: Thank you to the number one charlatan in history for the 100 Qidian coins, and thank you everyone for your recommendation votes!
Lin Qing doesn't need to rest now; he could probably stay up all night for a month without any problem. Lin Qing checked his surroundings.
They didn't find any living people, so they flew back to the base, found an empty warehouse, and put the cement inside.
They then flew several times to fill the entire warehouse with cement, piling it high up.
Then he went out to find sand and bricks, which were plentiful on the construction site. Before long, Lin Qing found a construction site.
Once the location was confirmed, he went back. He could manage moving cement, but he didn't want to be a real porter. He could just ask Li Wen and the others to bring a truck to move it in the morning.
The minimum requirement for building a city is no less than 10,000 people. The base only has so few people right now, so we need to bring in more.
Lin Qing then wandered around the city, but the city was too big to explore in such a short time, so he just wandered around the nearby area.
After more than an hour, the sun had risen, and Lin Qing, carrying over a hundred unconscious people on his back, returned to the base.
At this moment, Li Wen, who was inside the base, had also woken up and was organizing the people inside the base to haul goods while holding a gun.
They moved some of the goods that were outside into the warehouse, since it was a sudden biohazard crisis.
There were many trucks unloading or loading cargo inside the base. It was a business that sold everything.
The bus had everything imaginable: a microwave, Want Want milk, packaged noodles, instant noodles, milk powder, and so on.
Lin Qing went directly to the airspace above the base and then put all the unconscious people on his back onto the ground.
Then he transmitted his voice to Li Wen: "These people are yours. The first warehouse on the east side is full of cement."
"Explain this to these people first, then take them to the xx construction site to load sand and bricks."
"Build a wall with cement, and surround the entire base."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Dragon King." Li Wen was already used to it.
Lin Qing then floated in the white mist in the sky, while inside the base, Lin Qing did not control the white mist coverage.
From the outside, the sky above this base is filled with white fog, but inside the base below, there is not a trace of white fog.
Lin Qing then woke up all the hundred or so people who had fainted, bringing the total number of people, including those from the base, to exactly 200.
"Ugh, my head hurts so much, where am I?"
"Ah! Zombies, zombies!" a young white-collar woman shouted, then froze when she saw that there were people all around her.
"Bang bang bang!"
Everyone's attention was drawn to the gun in Li Wen's hand.
"You are now in the base established by our Dragon King. There are no zombies here, and food and water are plentiful."
"You were all saved by the Dragon King, and I am Li Wen, the person in charge of the base," Li Wen shouted, putting down his gun.
Nance and the bearded man were standing behind him, while Charles sat in a wheelchair to the side.
Meanwhile, the people standing nearby, all from within the base, were looking at the hundred or so people lying on the ground, standing, and sitting.
"Now you must follow my instructions, because the base has just been established, so the regulations have not yet been finalized."
"The main points are as follows."
First: Do not enter the food warehouse to steal food and water.
Second: No fighting, no rape, no kidnapping.
Third: Follow the base's arrangements.
"Those who violate this rule will be severely punished."
"The entire base is now surrounded by earthen walls, but it's not safe."
"The Dragon King has brought a warehouse full of cement, but we are still short of sand and bricks."
"I need you to go to the nearby construction site to carry sand and bricks to build the city wall," Li Wen said in one breath.
Upon hearing this, the somewhat bewildered crowd snapped back to reality. They had only caught a few key words from what Li Wen had said.
There are no zombies here. There is plenty of food and water.
"Great, there are no zombies here."
"I know, this is the main warehouse of Dayun Trading Company, there are countless supplies inside," a truck driver shouted.
The truck driver's shout was heard by everyone present, and the crowd immediately began to discuss it.
These people were already exhausted from their desperate escape, and after such a long period without food or water, they were completely worn out.
Now they knew this place was safe, since no zombies had come even after Li Wen had been shooting for so long.
It was another merchant's main warehouse, but some people still noticed the AKs in the hands of Li Wen and Nance behind him.
However, some fearless individuals were the first to rush out and prepare to enter the warehouse in search of food.
Tian Ming rushed towards the warehouse, he was so hungry he couldn't care less about anything else.
As soon as Tian Ming rushed out, more than a hundred people looked at each other in bewilderment. Then a second person also ran towards the warehouse, followed by a third, a fourth, and so on. About half of the people went to the warehouse.
Lin Qing watched this scene without interfering; he wanted to see what Li Wen would do and whether he could resolve the situation.
Then, Li Wen fired directly at the wall of the warehouse in front of Tian Ming, who was running at the front.
"Hmph! Looks like nobody listens to me, huh?" Li Wen said expressionlessly.
