Kapitel 262: Changing attitudes

"Let me introduce everyone," Elijah took the lead, introducing Nicholas and Quentin's groups to each other.

Quentin even shared the identification number of the unit he once served in, instantly bridging the gap between the two sides.

When Elijah's survivors heard that Quentin confirmed these new arrivals were indeed genuine soldiers, they quickly gathered around, bombarding them with questions.

They asked about the virus outbreak, government rescue efforts, and plans for the future.

Although most had lost hope, they still wanted confirmation.

The people naturally had a strong sense of respect for soldiers, and Nicholas could feel this goodwill.

However, his answers inevitably disappointed them.

He explained that there was no longer any functioning government, and everyone was left to fend for themselves.

The military was doing what it could, actively expanding the safe zones and trying to rebuild government structures.
