Fearing death and strength are two different matters. It can even be said that the stronger the being, the more they cherish their life because their power does not come easily, and they don't wish to waste it recklessly.
Although the million gang members of Nian Gang might seem inconspicuous, these members, who fight over food at the Transport Depot every day, are accustomed to fighting and killing; if you don't fight or grab, you get no food.
They are all disposable lives anyway; if they die, they die. If they perish in battle for the gang, Nian Gang wouldn't neglect their wives and children. This is also why Nian Gang can unite million gang members.
Just look at Zhang Xiaochen; his father wasn't a person of Nian Gang, but he died in battle because of Nian Gang, who still took care of him for a lifetime. This was not only due to morality but also because of rules.
