A simple sentence, yet spoken with such force that everyone was stunned. Those who were still sitting sighed in relief after a brief surprise, thankful that they had made the right choice and had not acted foolishly.
Those still standing were completely bewildered, never expecting Qiu Hongsheng to utter such cruel words!
He actually wanted to drive them out of the Safe Zone! How could he!
Weren't these people military personnel? How could they do this?
It wasn't fair! They would never agree to it!
"Why should we? We're not leaving the Safe Zone!"
"Exactly! We won't go out!"
"That's right! What gives you the right to drive us out?"
"I own property here! I have a house; you can't force me out! You can't do this!"
…
The voices of protest were incessant, and although those standing seemed resolute, each of them looked terrified, their eyes filled with insecurity. They were all afraid, afraid that the military might genuinely drive them out.
