This is the desolate neighborhood of the outer city in the northwest of Atlanta. An indoor sports stadium that has been abandoned for a long time is currently crowded with more than 400 people. They all received the note sent by Alan and the others and passed through the guard overnight. The supervisor is here.

 

       After Kelly, Emma and Bud closed the doors and windows one by one to ensure that no sound could be leaked, they ran over and surrounded Alan. Bud took the lead and spread his hands and asked Alan:

 

      Shocked! Bro, we expected only a few dozen people to come, but so many people came... What should we do now? We can't hide so many people.

 

      Allen watched his family waiting for his decision and took courage.

 

      "I'll talk to them."

 

      Alan walked into the crowded indoor sports hall and observed the people coming here. Some people looked helpless, some were impatient, some looked at him worriedly, and some seemed to be expecting him to give something.

 

   Allen looked at everything and walked to the middle position, ready to speak.

 

     " ...Hi, we are the Rebel Alliance, and I'm glad you are willing to take the risk and join us….」

 

       Unexpectedly, before Alan finished speaking, a member of the public stood up and intervened.

 

    "Sorry... I'm not here to fight... We just want to avoid the oppression in the city.

 

  As soon as these words came out, other people echoed one after another, 

 

 "Yes...!!" 

Only then did Alan realize that nearly half of these people were not recruited, but just because I came here because I wanted to escape from Ethan's rule.

 

      Alan suddenly didn't know how to continue speaking. What was worse was that there were many teenagers among the people. They began to laugh at Alan and blurted out words of doubt and contempt.

 

    "I thought there were many of them? How many of them want to resist Ethan? Ridiculous..."

 

    "That's right! I thought it was a sophisticated army trying to rebel against Ethan, but it turned out to be just a few young aunts who were still young..."

 

    "It's over... I was tricked into coming here and got nothing... I might as well just go back..."

 

      Alan heard all these sour words. Although he was affected in his heart, he controlled his emotions. But that's not the most disgusting thing. A young man stood up and asked Alan loudly and arrogantly.

 

    "Who are you?"

 

      Alan tried to respond calmly:

 

     "I'm Alan, you are...?"

 

      Unexpectedly, this young man responded unceremoniously:

 

     "My name is David, idiot!"

 

       The words of the young man named Nick also caused other teenagers to echo and ridicule Alan for being called an idiot. Some even shouted:

 

      "How dare these motley crews resist Ethan? It's so funny!"

 

But Alan didn't care about this. On the contrary, the name David touched him...

 

      "It's too much...."

 

       Seeing Alan being so humiliated, mother Kelly couldn't help but want to rush out and teach the young man a lesson, but was stopped by Alan.

 

  "i can handle it"

    

      Alan calmly comforted his mother Kelly. Although she was worried, Kelly still stepped back.

 

       Alan sighed deeply, stepped forward and said to this young man David:

 

      "David is a good name... In fact, I also know a man named David. He is very nice... He was the first nice person I met when I came to Atlanta, but... no matter how nice he is, Still killed by Ethan.”

     

       The seriousness of these words made the young man, also named David, dare not smile anymore and stopped smiling, and also made some people stop smiling. Alan glanced at everyone and then spread his hands and laughed deliberately at himself:

 

       "You're right, I'm an idiot. Because only an idiot like me would overestimate my own capabilities and chAlange Ethan with more than seventy anti-Ethan partners to save the city residents from dire straits, but Ethan only He can kill everyone by himself, he is really awesome..."

 

    This self-deprecation sounds funny but is actually more serious. The teenagers who were still laughing slowly closed their mouths and became solemn and silent, feeling ashamed.    

 

        Alan saw a 40-year-old uncle holding his wife and child, and asked him by name why he wanted to come. The uncle stood up and said:

 

      "Because...my stall has been secretly demanded by Ethan's men for protection money...next month the donations will be doubled...our family can't live any longer..."

 

        The uncle was angry and helpless when he spoke. Unexpectedly, a pair of teenage sisters stood up and said fearfully and sadly:

 

      "My parents didn't hand over enough offerings... but Captain Ethan killed them on the spot..."

 

       Seeing the little sister and brother shed tears, this seemed to ignite the common pain point in the hearts of the people. Others stood up one after another and told all the atrocities committed by Ethan and his guards. They all stood up and shouted, 

 

  " Fuck you Ethan!"

 

       As more and more people came forward, the dissatisfaction with Ethan grew stronger and stronger. Alan looked at them and was deeply excited. He even saw a barbell abandoned in the corner and asked him to make a gesture. He decided and walked towards the barbell while talking.

 

      "I know everyone is very scared, but it's just like what the note says..."

 

       Alan slowly stretched out his hand to hold the 100 kilogram barbell, and then said:

 

      "Life is hard enough as it is, why should we continue to be weak?"

 

       Just like the plot of the movie, Allen slowly lifted the barbell as if it were nothing, shocking all the recruiting people who came, and they were all so stunned that they opened their mouths.

 

  Alan cursed

 

 "Fuck you Ethan!!" 

 

and threw it towards the window with a lunge. The 100-kilogram barbell flew straight through the window like a baseball and landed on the far outer city wall. This shows Alan's current strength. So big.

 

        "Clap-Clap-Clap-Clap-Clap!"

 

        After everyone saw Alan's extraordinary strength and was stunned into silence for a few seconds, someone finally started clapping their hands, and the clapping got louder and louder.

 

        "This is amazing! This will allow you to fight Ethan! I'm joining!"

 

          Gradually...

 

         More and more people clapped their hands until there was thunderous cheers, because after seeing Alan's extraordinary power, everyone was ignited with hope and no longer afraid. They all stood up and expressed their intention to join the anti-Ethan ranks. Even the young people who had just looked down on Alan did not dare to No matter how much he despised Alan, he looked at him with admiration.

 

        "Resist Ethan and the guards!"

 

          Amidst the enthusiastic cheers, Kelly, Emma and Bud came out, and they also had a look of disbelief on their faces as they subdued the group of people.

          

           Bud looked at the recruiting crowd and asked Alan:

 

         "Hey, what should we do next?"

 

          Alan took a few steps forward and said with certainty:

 

         "The next step is to enter the trial."

          Chapter 37    Youth in Parliament – ​​Eliot

          While Alan was in full swing to form the anti-Ethan alliance, a regular meeting was going on in distant Philadelphia.

      At the conference venue, delegations from 12 cities including New York City, Washington City, Philadelphia, Boston City, Cincinnati City, Atlanta City, Miami City, Kansas City, Phoenix City, Los Angeles City, Chicago City, and Houston City gathered here. , we routinely discuss countermeasures against zombies.

 

     Do you think the atmosphere at the meeting was good? No, the atmosphere at this regular meeting has never been good.

 

      Because it has been so long, no one has any hope of eradicating the zombies. Now the cities are blaming each other for grabbing the remaining resources. Even if they talk about cooperation, they have their own agendas and plots against each other.

 

    There is no way, because all places in North America except for the 12 cities are full of zombies and unfit for habitation. Each city has the supplies that the other needs, so they restrain each other.

 

        However, in this increasingly heated scene of non-compliance, there are representatives from three cities watching all this with cold eyes. On the surface, they are calm, but in fact, the three cities are having a cold confrontation with each other. That is, Washington City and New York City are in a strong position. City and the City of Houston.

 

        Washington City has missile launch rights, New York City is very rich, and Houston has the Air Force, which makes them want to be in a leadership position without giving up to anyone.

 

        When the quarrels on the scene reached a point where the cities were not giving in to each other, a sudden laughter filled the tense atmosphere, causing everyone to gradually stop quarreling and look suspiciously in the same direction...

 

        When everyone looked at it, it turned out that the laughter was made by a very young man sitting in the corner and wearing expensive clothes. The young man's smile was so exaggerated that he burst into tears. This made the representatives from each city very unhappy, and some of them yelled at the young man.

 

      "What are you laughing at, brat? Who are you? How can you come here casually!"

 

        The young man sneered at the scolding and stood up. He said to everyone with a smile on his handsome face:

 

       "My name is Elliot, and I... just laugh at all of you cities that have no choice but to bite the zombies and survive."

          

        What this young man named Elliot said was very sour. Does it sound familiar?...

 

        Yes, he was the one who mocked the academics on the TV show.

 

         The difference is that now he is facing some big shots. These words caused representatives from all the cities to come around and want to teach him a lesson, but I'm afraid they couldn't do it, because immediately several burly men stood in front of Elliot and put on a show. The huge formation makes it impossible for people to get close.

 

       This battle shows that Elliott's identity and background are not simple, or even rich.

 

       This young Elliott's grand battle attracted sharp glances from delegations from the three major cities of Washington, New York and Houston, who all believed that he might be a threat.

 

       "Young man, what is your purpose?"

 

       Minister Nick, the representative of Washington City, finally couldn't help but asked the young man Elliot in a probing tone.

         

        Eliot stood up calmly and continued to laugh at the delegation:

 

       "It's okay, I just came to see how ugly human nature is. No one gives in to survive. It's like dogs snatching meat. It's so ugly..."

 

        How could all the city representatives be happy to be complained about like this by a young man? One of the representatives asked in reply:

 

        "Young man, you are very good. Is there something you can do?!"

      

          Eliot seemed to be waiting for someone to ask this question, and his confident eyes turned to sharp answers:

              

       "Of course, what if...we can be stronger and more powerful than them?"

 

        This sentence is very attractive and immediately attracts everyone to look up.

 

        Elliot was not in a hurry to continue speaking. He just watched the words he threw ferment among the representatives and there was a lot of private discussion there.

 

       "Is it really possible to be more powerful than zombies?..." "How is it possible?...Is it a lie?..." "Is it really possible?!" There were whispers at the scene... ..

     

      But at this moment, someone couldn't stand it and spoke coldly to stop him from continuing.

 

      "That's enough young man, get out of here."

 

        Following these words, more than a dozen armed military personnel filed in with guns aimed at Elliot and his group. The person who issued the expulsion order was none other than Minister Nick, the representative of Washington City.

 

        However, although Elliot was pointed at a bunch of guns, he remained calm, as if he believed that these people could not shoot him.

 

        Minister Nick himself is a military defense officer in Washington City. Although he felt that the young man in front of him had an unusual background, he did not believe what he said.

 

       "Young man, don't be pretentious. There's no way a human can be stronger than a zombie... let alone the strongest "Giant Soldier"."

 

        Elliot looked at Minister Nick saying this with an expression of contempt, and without further entanglement, he smiled calmly and turned away with the bodyguard, saying:

 

      "Oh~ It's so boring... Originally, I was going to tell you the good news... Forget it, it's fine if you don't believe it... Just wait and see that the world will be turned upside down."

 

        Elliot was about to leave, but he seemed to think of something to tell Minister Nick and paused.

 

       "By the way, Minister Nick, next time you'd better not ask your men to point guns at me...otherwise your "one above" will be very unhappy if he finds out about it, remember this!"

 

     Elliot said and left. All the city delegations suddenly fell into a state of astonishment and frantically discussed the message that the young man named Elliott had just brought. Only Minister Nick heard this and looked at the representatives of New York City and Houston City with a very solemn face... . ..

 

    "This young man may threaten our status in the future," Minister Nick thought deeply...

      In a large, deserted indoor sports stadium outside Atlanta, although the doors and windows are closed, it seems silent, but in fact a trial is quietly unfolding.

 

       However, when "Ugh!!" "It's so distressing..." "I really want to cry..." "Oh my God! It's so difficult!" the wailing sounds of people recruiting can be heard...

 

       What kind of trial is this? And what kind of members will be selected?..
