Chapter 29 - Panicking

Chapter 29 Panicking

As this place was located behind a pile of ruins.

It was blocked by a half-collapsed building.

Apart from Zhang He and a few others who were following Zhou Yuan, no one else saw this miraculous scene.

Looking at the few people who were kneeling, Zhou Yuan said indifferently,

“Get up and quickly get to work.”

“There will be more of such things in the future. You can’t just kneel there every time, right?”

Zhang He and the others quickly stood up, but they still bowed and lowered their heads.

Previously, it was just their guess and imagination. Now, a magical scene had happened right in front of their eyes.

Instantly, Zhang He and the others saw Zhou Yuan as a God who had descended to the mortal world!

After Zhou Yuan left, Zhang He immediately organized his men to cut down the trees.

The wood would be used to build the houses.

After all the work was arranged, Zhang He spent two days sorting out the name list.

More than 700 people were working, and more than 400 people were unemployed.

In fact, if they were to push it further, these four hundred people could also be assigned to a job.

However, Zhang He remembered Zhou Yuan’s words.

No trash.

Therefore, he used the selection system.

If one could do a good job, then one could stay.

If one didn’t do a good job or have a bad attitude, then get lost.

Under such a system, resentment would naturally develop.

However, they were all suppressed by Zhang He’s tough tactics.

Zhang He couldn’t help but think whenever someone complained.

“If I show you mercy, then Mr. Zhou will be merciless to me!”

“So, for my own sake, you guys should get lost.”

Therefore, even Zhou Yuan was surprised when he saw the name list.

There were actually so many unemployed people.

Zhang He looked at Zhou Yuan’s surprised expression and was about to explain.

At this time, roars came from the distance.

“Mr. Zhou!”

“I’m begging you!”

“Please save us!!”

“I’m willing to be your slave!”

The voices were a little unclear, and they came from a distance.

Immediately, Zhou Yuan could tell that these were the people who the zombies had cornered in the teaching building.

After some thought, Zhou Yuan walked out of the room and climbed up the wall.

Zhang He followed closely.

The people in the teaching building instantly became excited upon seeing Zhou Yuan appear on the wall.

“Mr. Zhou, I beg you to save me!”

“If this continues, we’ll either be bitten to death by the zombies or be trapped in here till death!”

“We are running out of food and water!”

After this person finished speaking, many people instantly agreed.

The basic content of their message was similar.

They were all asking Zhou Yuan for help.

Zhou Yuan was unmoved by their pleas for help.

He said coldly,

“I don’t need trash here, so how are you going to convince me to go and save trash?”

Hearing that Zhou Yuan was willing to talk to him, the man became excited.

“Mr. Zhou, I, I’m not a good-for-nothing!”

“I’m in good health. I can bear hardships and work.”

“I used to work at a construction site!”

After this person finished speaking, someone else immediately added.

“And me, I used to be a security guard. I’m in good physical condition, and no tenant can beat me.”

“I used to be a physical education teacher! My body is awesome!”

For a moment, it seemed as if they were applying for a job, and their request for help had turned into a self-introduction.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuan coldly said,

“Since you’re all so healthy, why don’t you fight the zombies?”

“If you kill your way out of the zombie crowd, you can go and find supplies, right?”

As soon as he said this, everyone in the teaching building was speechless.

Fighting the zombies?

It wasn’t that no one had tried it in the past few days.

However, no one had ever successfully made it out.

Facing a zombie that was not afraid of pain and only wanted to eat people…

The cowardice, timidity, and fear of humans put humans in a disadvantageous position.

When people fought with each other, it was said that the ruthless ones were afraid of the dazed ones, and the dazed ones were afraid of the ones who didn’t want their lives.

The current situation was that these survivors were all considered ruthless characters.

However, they encountered zombies that didn’t care about their lives.

No, the zombies had no life.

Therefore, no one dared to face the zombies.

Not to mention killing their way out of the zombie crowd…

So what if they killed their way out?

How could they avoid the zombies?

How were they going to find supplies when they were being chased by the zombies?

Therefore, everyone felt helpless after hearing Zhou Yuan’s words.

“Mr. Zhou, we don’t even have one-ten-thousandth of your ability!”

“I can’t beat the zombies!”

Zhou Yuan laughed when he heard this.

However, his smile was very cold.

“You can’t even defeat the zombies, and you still say you’re not trash?”

“I’ll tell you! I can accept you into the base. “

“But! I have conditions!”

“First, you must come to my wall on your

own.”

“Second, each person has to use three zombie crystalline cores as payment.”

“Otherwise, I won’t let you in even if you come to me!”

“The zombie’s crystalline core is in the zombie’s head. It looks like a crystal.”

“How is it? Isn’t it simple?”

“I only want three. My request isn’t too much, right?”

“If you can’t even do this, you should just jump down from the building and die!”

Hearing this, the people in the teaching building fell silent.

It was obvious that this was Zhou Yuan’s test.

Only by doing so could they prove their worth and gain the right to enter the base.

After a long time, someone shouted,

“Mr. Zhou, do you keep your word?”

Zhou Yuan ignored the ridiculous question and jumped off the wall.

Regardless of whether he kept his words, did they have a choice?

They would either die in the school building or in the mouth of the zombies.

Or, they could choose to believe in him and take the risk.

What’s the point of asking that?

After jumping off the wall, Zhou Yuan said to Zhang He,

“Call everyone here.”

“I have something to announce!”

Zhang He thought to himself, “Has the day of layoff finally arrived?”.

“Yes!”

Soon, more than a thousand people gathered in the open space of the base.

The 700 people with work were standing on the left, and the remaining 400 people with no allocated work were on the right.

Zhou Yuan stood on the high ground and said,

“I gave the people in the teaching building a chance just now!”

“As long as they can get to the wall on their own and hand over three crystalline cores, I’ll let them take refuge in the base.”

“Hearing this, aren’t you guys glad that you entered the base early?”

Upon hearing this, some of them did feel lucky.

There was also some gloating. However, Zhou Yuan’s next words sent them straight into the abyss.

“But don’t celebrate too early.”

“I also have a request for you!”

“Those who are working must hand in one crystalline core a month!”

“Those who don’t have any work on hand, hand in one core every three days!”

“This is the cost of living in the base, consider it rent!”

“I’m done. Who agrees and who disagrees?”

As soon as Zhou Yuan finished speaking, a person hiding in the crowd immediately said indignantly,

“This base doesn’t belong to you alone. We all worked together to build it.”

“What right do you have to ask us to do this?”

Instantly, many people agreed, and the scene became noisy.

Zhang He panicked when he saw that.

Zhou Yuan, on the other hand, started laughing

This laugh was unusually cold!
