The Walking Dead TWD
Chapter 68 Elected
"no problem."
"I do not have either."
“I support moving out of here!”
Everyone responded in unison, saying that they only thought about the enemy's revenge, so they wanted to leave.
But they didn't expect that Zhou Nan had such deeper ideas. These were some more constructive ideas, or in other words - plans!
All of them were caught off guard by the sudden apocalypse and felt extremely insecure.
Especially the women, now that they have a backbone to give them advice, they feel much more at ease.
No one here dares to look down on Zhou Nan, a Dragon countryman, and they have no right to look down on Zhou Nan.
Currently, almost all of their food, drinks, weapons, electricity, and shelter were provided by Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan nominally saved Paul and Rick. It was Zhou Nan who saved Hannah when she was trapped in the car, and it was Zhou Nan who saved Kelly when she was tied up and abused.
Even Max, the pet dog, had his life saved by Zhou Nan carrying him on his grocery shopping bicycle; otherwise, he would have died long ago!
As for the other members, they all had some relationship with Zhou Nan to some extent, and Zhou Nan had also given them favors.
For example, providing Chase with fuel, water, and food, as well as accepting Harris and providing him with treatment and protection, etc.
They may not be convinced by other people, but they are absolutely convinced by Zhou Nan who has done them a favor.
Hannah was a thoughtful person with many thoughts in her mind. After she glanced at the people with different expressions, a bold idea emerged in her mind.
As the person involved, Zhou Nan couldn't say some things, but Hannah had no scruples.
So, Hannah stood up in the surprised eyes of everyone, cleared her throat and spoke loudly.
"Since everyone agrees to leave the hospital, then that's settled. But I think what happens next is more important than where we go!"
Zhou Nan looked at Hannah thoughtfully. He did not say anything to stop her because he had already guessed what Hannah was going to say.
Hannah is a smart person. She is very discerning about what Zhou Nan does. Sure enough, what Hannah said next was exactly what Zhou Nan was thinking.
"It's been quite a while since the apocalypse. During this time, everyone has leaned on each other, huddled together for warmth, and struggled to survive together in this apocalypse. We've all forged deep friendships."
"That's right!" Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Hannah asked again, "So we are destined to live together in the future, right?"
Everyone also expressed their agreement. They were all good people here. Through contact, they had a general understanding of each other's temperament and character, so naturally they all agreed to live together in the future.
Hannah then changed the subject.
"But this won't last long!"
"Over time, even the best of friends will inevitably have some bumps in the road, let alone a small group of more than ten people like us."
"Besides, our numbers will continue to increase, so there will definitely be a lot of conflicts!"
"So, in order to better unite our team, I think we need to elect a leader."
After Hannah finished speaking, she closely observed everyone's reactions. After hearing this, they all subconsciously looked at Zhou Nan.
Rick was also insightful. He also observed that everyone subconsciously looked at Zhou Nan, and understood Zhou Nan's attitude in everyone's hearts.
Rick also began to doubt Zhou Nan: "Can this young man really lead the team well?"
Hannah also noticed Rick in deep thought. She knew how great Rick's influence was as the sheriff.
At the same time, she also knew that Rick might feel that Zhou Nan was not qualified and could not take on this important task.
However, Hannah is still relieved for the time being, because Zhou Nan's interpersonal relationships are obviously better than Rick's.
As long as Zhou Nan doesn't make a major, disappointing mistake, no one can replace Zhou Nan at the moment, not even Rick, the deputy sheriff.
Zhou Nan himself knew that Rick was actually a strong competitor to him, and Rick would take action to seize power when the leader in power was hopeless.
At Hershel's farm, he fought for power with Sean and Hershel; in the Alexandria community, he replaced the weak Diana; in the fight against the Saviors, he was forced to surrender under Negan's oppression, but Rick never gave up resistance.
At the beginning, Rick was a man with ideals and moral standards, but as time went on and he experienced more and more things, he began to become tougher and more decisive.
From the initial idealism, he transformed into a pragmatist, and finally to an extreme pragmatist.
Rick can be said to be extremely responsible for the collective, and sometimes he will even sacrifice a small part of the interests to maximize the collective interests.
It can be said that if Zhou Nan becomes the actual person in power, Rick may be watching Zhou Nan's every move behind his back.
Once Zhou Nan becomes hopeless in Rick's eyes, even if Zhou Nan is Rick's savior, Rick will not hesitate to replace her and guide everyone back on track from the wrong path.
After a moment of silence, Paul spoke first, "I support Zhou Nan!"
"I chose him not because he's my savior, but because I can sense he's a very smart and well-planned person. I believe Zhou Nan can lead me further."
Hannah also took this opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "I also agree that Zhou Nan should be the leader. I met Zhou Nan the day after the disaster. As far as I know, Zhou Nan's current decisions are correct."
"From predicting that refugee camps are dangerous places and that the military might bomb cities, to knowing the zombies' weaknesses and how to collect supplies in dangerous situations, Zhou Nan has done everything right, no matter how big or small. That's why I support him."
After listening to this, Rick was also surprised. If Zhou Nan could predict the decision-making, then Zhou Nan's insight must be very sharp. Rick also agreed to let such a person be the leader.
Billy also spoke up, "I agree, Zhou Nan is very good. He doesn't get impatient with me when I ask questions. You know, even my mother gets impatient with me, but Zhou Nan doesn't!"
Kelly shrugged. "I agree. I don't have any well-founded arguments, but I only know that Zhou Nan saved my life. He stepped forward when I was most desperate. I will definitely support him."
Rick finally agreed. Zhou Nan was relieved to see that Rick finally agreed after some consideration.
Rick's attitude is the most important thing. After all, as the actual person in power in the original drama, Zhou Nan still feels pressured when facing Rick.
"Then I would like to thank you all for your trust and I agree to take on this position."
Zhou Nan didn't beat around the bush and agreed to it. This was exactly the position Zhou Nan wanted, and it would seem hypocritical to keep pushing it.
After hearing Zhou Nan's wording, Rick nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Zhou Nan was not arrogant, which was quite to Rick's liking.
Zhou Nan continued to arrange the tasks: "Then everyone go out to find gasoline today, and we will leave here tomorrow morning!"
After giving instructions to everyone, Zhou Nan also had time to rest, this time thanks to Hannah.
Zhou Nan was sitting on a bench. When he looked at Hannah, Hannah also noticed Zhou Nan's gaze and responded with an expression that said "Look how awesome I am."
Zhou Nan burst out laughing when he saw this.
