As soon as Li Wen fired the shot, dozens of people stopped in their tracks: "Don't shoot! Don't shoot!"
Some people quickly raised their hands to signal, not daring to move, and just looked at Li Wen.
"Take it all back! You'll have plenty of food and drink. Do you think I'll starve you?" Li Wen shouted.
Tian Ming was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Li Wen: "You think I'll just stop when you tell me to? I'm going to the warehouse, go ahead and shoot me if you dare!"
Tian Ming used to be a petty thug who did a lot of petty theft and other dirty work. When the biohazard occurred...
While playing cards in a room with a few cronies, Tian Ming and his three friends were lucky enough to survive.
Tian Ming probably thought that since the base was built by the state, the person in charge of the base wouldn't dare to kill anyone.
After Tian Ming finished speaking, he ran straight into the warehouse. His three friends glanced at Li Wen and then rushed into the warehouse as well.
At this point, Li Wen was at a loss. After all, he used to be a soldier, and although he had been retired for some time, it was impossible for him to fire on civilians in a short period of time.
Charles shook his head. Seeing that Li Wen didn't move, the bearded man and Nance also moved, since the Dragon King had told them to listen to Li Wen.
As soon as Li Wen paused, a large portion of the crowd also ran out and rushed towards the warehouse.
Only a small group of people remained where they were; there were twenty-five people who stayed put.
Lin Qing realized that Li Wen's weakness was that he hadn't changed yet and didn't dare to kill him, but he was otherwise quite good.
Lin Qing's head emerged from the clouds and mist, opening its mouth wide and spewing out a mouthful of flames.
Immediately, it was seen that the four people running at the front, except for Tian Ming, had all been burned to a crisp.
At this moment, they finally noticed Lin Qing's presence and immediately stopped in their tracks in fright.
"This, this, a dragon. It's a dragon!"
"He just breathed fire and burned people to death."
"Help! There's a monster! It's eating people!"
"Shut up! I built this base, and I rescued you all. You have to do whatever I tell you to do." Lin Qing's voice echoed throughout the area.

Seeing the panicked crowd, Lin Qing ignored them and directly brought five zombies from outside the mud wall.
When the five zombies landed in front of the crowd, the crowd panicked even more.
"Shut up, all of you, and stay where you are. These zombies are for you," Lin Qing said.
“Li Wen, I know you can’t bring yourself to do it, but think about what would have happened if all those people had rushed over.”
"After that, the crowd completely lost control. Have you thought about the consequences? The entire base will be in chaos."
"You might not even be able to protect your wife and daughter in the end," Lin Qing said, then looked at Li Wen.
"I understand, Your Majesty the Dragon King. I will no longer be soft-hearted. I will eliminate anything that threatens the safety of the base," Li Wen said resolutely.
"Okay, you know that's good. I've left the leader behind. Let him taste what it's like to be torn apart by zombies."
After saying that, Lin Qing pulled the terrified Tian Ming in front of the five zombies.
Tian Ming looked at the menacing zombies in front of him, knowing that if he took another step forward, he would be torn to pieces.
An invisible force was binding the zombies, preventing them from moving forward.
Li Wen witnessed this scene and knew that it was the Dragon King trying to establish his authority and also to make him harden his heart.
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Wen walked up to Tian Ming, who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy and weeping bitterly.
"This person was the one who led the violation of the base's rules, and three others have already been dealt with by Lord Dragon King."
"This time, we can let bygones be bygones, but next time we will show no mercy."
"Otherwise, he will suffer the same fate as you," Li Wen shouted loudly to the crowd.
Then, to everyone's horror, he kicked Tian Ming into the zombie horde.
"Ah! Help me, I was wrong, I'll never do it again..." Before he could finish speaking, a zombie bit his throat.
Before long, Tian Ming was torn to pieces by five zombies, and then Lin Qing's tail smashed the zombies into a pulp.
"These zombies are nothing to be afraid of. As long as I'm here, this base will not be destroyed, and you will be safe."
"Now you will follow Li Wen's instructions." After saying that, Lin Qing disappeared into the clouds in the sky.
Seeing this, Li Wen didn't say much, but shouted to the crowd:
"Now that I've told you everything I needed to say, let's fill your stomachs first."
Li Wen selected some people and asked Zhou Sha to take them to get instant noodles and bread. Then he called some other people to boil water for the instant noodles.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Wen called out the 25 people who had stayed behind.
"You all performed very well before. Now I need a few people who can manage things. Please introduce your jobs, abilities, etc."
...
Li Wen then eliminated fifteen people, leaving only ten, and assigned each of them to lead a small team.
Then they prepared to take people out to transport cement and bricks back.
Fortunately, five of the eighteen people in the warehouse were truck drivers, so they could drive away.
Li Wen left the elderly, children, and girls at the base, and assigned the female reporter who had been rescued by Lin Qing to manage them.
The female reporter is a Chinese American who speaks Mandarin and has witnessed Lin Qing's power; she won't cause any trouble.
The bearded man and Nance also gave both pistols to the female reporter, Liu Lili.
Anyway, the base is full of old and weak people, so they pose no threat. The base is also surrounded by earthen walls, so no zombie can break through the defenses.
Then, Li Wen led all the able-bodied men onto the truck and set off.
Upon reaching the gate, they found an earthen wall standing there, making it impossible to get out. The group was wondering what to do.
Suddenly, the mud wall slowly parted on its own, making way for a path.
Upon seeing this, the five drivers quickly started their vehicles and left the base. As soon as they left, the mud wall returned to its original state.
This scene shocked everyone on the bus; it seems that with the Dragon King around, safety is no longer a concern.
There's a shortage of people. Lin Qing felt there were too few people to manage the area, and not many people he could trust. For now, he could only protect them and get the cement wall built.
About several tens of minutes later, the convoy arrived at a large construction site and stopped at the gate.
The truck couldn't drive in, so it had to stop here. As soon as the truck stopped, it saw zombies slowly surrounding it.
Even inside the construction site, numerous zombies were heading towards them, causing the people in the vehicle to instantly panic.
Two truck drivers had already started their vehicles and were ready to flee, but the bearded man and his group of foreigners were not worried at all.
Li Wen was not worried at all, because a cloud had been floating in the sky the whole time, proving that the Dragon King was in the sky.
Seeing the zombies rushing towards him, Lin Qing extended his giant dragon head out of the clouds and then suddenly inhaled at the zombies.
Then they saw the zombies fly into the sky one by one and then enter Lin Qing's mouth.
In no time, thousands of zombies were wiped out, and the surrounding area was cleared out; not a single zombie could be seen.
Subsequently, Lin Qing used soil to surround the areas where sand and bricks were stored at the construction site, including the trucks.
The truck and the sand and bricks were separated by only a wall, and Lin Qing directly controlled the soil to make that wall collapse.
Then it disappeared into the clouds, even though Lin Qing could load the materials onto the truck in an instant.
However, Lin Qing is not their nanny and cannot be by their side all the time. There are too few people they can use right now, so helping out is nothing.
When there are more people, he won't come out with them anymore.
Seeing that the safety hazard was gone, Li Wen quickly called everyone to get off the vehicle and start loading materials.
Fortunately, there were excavators nearby, and there were also people Lin Qing had rescued from the construction site in the crowd, so it was still possible to find someone who could operate an excavator.
Then a group of people started moving bricks, and the excavator started shoveling sand into the three enclosed truck beds.
...
It took several hours for all five trucks to be fully loaded with sand and bricks before they set off back to base.
Because the truck was full of goods and people were hanging all over it, Li Wen called the construction workers to lead them to start building a cement wall once they returned to the base.
Lin Qing also made a special effort to enlarge the earthen wall so that the cement wall could be built outside the base, around the perimeter.
The cement wall was also built quickly. Once it was built, Lin Qing would spray flames, and it would dry up in no time. In this way, it was basically ready to use once the construction was completed.
After a week of work, the 10-meter-high and 4-meter-wide wall was finally completed, with two large gates already installed.
Furthermore, Lin Qing dug a channel three meters wide and ten meters deep one meter away from the wall—no, it should be the city wall.
The bottom was reinforced with layers of cement and steel bars to prevent zombies from sneaking up from underground, just like in Resident Evil 4.

Lin Qing didn't plan to release any water into the moat. He would just leave it there, and if the zombies came to attack the city, they would have to fill the moat first!
At the two gates, Charles also designed two drawbridges, one small one that could allow two people to walk side by side.
There is also a large suspension bridge that can withstand the weight of a fully loaded truck.
The entire base is now complete, and it can barely be considered a small town.
That day, Li Wen found Lin Qing: "Lord Dragon King, Charles has set up a radio station to explain the situation of our base to the survivors."
"This way, survivors will come to our base on their own."
“Great, this way, the population of our base will continue to grow.”
"Don't worry, food is not a problem. With me here, the base can be expanded, so there's no need to worry about not having enough space," Lin Qing said.
