Chapter 22 Ambition
The most luxurious villa building in Crescent Village is surrounded by shelter guards.
In the hall, a middle-aged man wearing gold and silver and a big belly sat on the sofa, crossing his legs and shaking comfortably, holding a glass of red wine in his right hand, looking quite enjoyable.
Next to him were a few young men and women with flattering faces, some of whom beat him on his shoulders and some of whom poured him wine.
"Mr. Jiang!" A person came in outside the door, and his face was full of smiles.
"Huh?" The middle-aged man named General Jiang glanced at him and showed displeasure.
"How many times have you said it? If you really can't remember it, just remove it from this management!" The young man who poured wine for the middle-aged man turned his head and scolded him.
The man came in and kowtowed to the middle-aged man tremblingly: "I am negligent, please forgive me!"
The middle-aged man smiled and put the cup to his mouth and took a sip.
"Your Majesty, this guy is so stupid! I'd better change his position? It's more suitable to lead a team to repair the city walls there."
"I'm a little stupid, I'm quite diligent in doing things." The middle-aged man put the wine glass aside, signaled a few young men and women who served him to retreat, got up and walked to the man, "The emperor took turns to do it, and today we will come to my house! Who would have thought that a red mist, from emperors and nobles to the people, would all become human-eating monsters? The emperor of our Qinglong Kingdom, civil and military officials in the court, and the imperial guards, and the entire capital city was wiped out in annihilated. There were only a few people living there!
In the world, only a small number of human beings survived in this disaster. Our Qinglong Kingdom court has been destroyed and cannot save the surviving people. In the face of disaster, only those who are both virtuous and capable can stand up and lead the people can protect the foundation of human beings and prevent them from becoming extinct. I can seize this farm and establish a shelter to protect survivors, so that they can stay away from the threat of zombies, and live well. What's wrong with replacing the Emperor of Qinglong Kingdom? Wu Zhongxue, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty's wise!" The man kneeled on the ground nodded quickly.
The middle-aged man who claimed to be the emperor was named Jiang Xianrong, who was a well-known local entrepreneur in Huajun. The zombie virus spread and the entire city fell. He took his employees to the outside of the city, cleared the zombies in Xinyue Village, and occupied it here, establishing his own shelter.
Perhaps in the doomsday scene, with the fact that the Qinglong Kingdom's court was almost wiped out and no one stood up to rescue the people, Jiang Xianrong felt that he could create a new force and establish his own new court in this doomsday world. So he ordered people to broadcast to the outside world, attracting survivors to surrender and strive to strengthen his own power. The ultimate goal is of course to replace Qinglong Kingdom and become a new emperor.
At present, except for the management of this shelter, which is Jiang Xianrong's most trusted corporate backbone, other survivors are not aware of it.
Jiang Xianrong asked the backbone members around him to serve him in accordance with the royal status. Wu Zhongxue was the "official" promoted later and the only survivor to enter the management.
"Get up!" Jiang Xianrong came to Wu Zhongxue, "Tell me about the progress in all aspects."
"Yes!" Wu Zhongxue then stood up and stood respectfully on the side. "Today, a total of 12 survivors came to join, three of whom were bitten by zombies and were all detained. One of them turned into a corpse, and the two had no abnormalities. The remaining nine people were healthy after physical examinations and had no illness and could be assigned to the construction team."
"It's pretty good!" Jiang Xianrong nodded with satisfaction, "How is the material gain?"
"Our search team retrieved four trucks, two bags of rice, vegetables, fruits and melons in a safer area in Nancheng. We seized baseball bats, daggers and other weapons, as well as a small amount of food and bottled drinks from these survivors."
"Why are there so few food resources? What's going on with the search team?" Jiang Xianrong frowned and questioned.
"Your Majesty, there are too many zombies in the city, especially large supermarkets, with shop directions that are particularly dense. The search team dare not go deeper and can only wander around the edge area. You also know that because there are fewer zombies in the edge area, they were searched several times by survivors who fled in the early stage, and it is good to find food! If you want to enter a more dangerous city center, our search team has insufficient combat power!"
"How is the progress of the new member supplement?" Jiang Xianrong asked hurriedly.
"Shao Feng is worthy of having worked in pyramid schemes and has rich experience. Those survivors listen to his lectures every day, and recently seven or eight more people volunteered to join the guards to be loyal to His Majesty."
"We must hurry up in this regard. First, ensure that the guards are loyal and serve me sincerely; second, we must step up training so that they can have combat effectiveness as soon as possible, strengthen the search team, and guide areas with richer resources."
"Don't worry, your Majesty, we arrange guards every day to let them fight face to face with zombies. Although zombies are controlled, they can also train their courage and recognize the key points of zombies."
"Train me a strong enough army as soon as possible!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Xianrong turned back to the sofa and sat down: "How is the progress of the wall construction?"
"A lot of survivors have joined recently, and the progress is good!" Wu Zhongxue quickly replied, "It is expected that the outer wall of Xinyuezhuang will be completed in another week."
"A week? Can it be faster?"
"this……"
"Is there any problem?"
"In fact, survivors at the bottom recently complained that they were too much work and hoped to add one more meal a day." Wu Zhongxue looked up and looked carefully at Jiang Xianrong.
"Add an extra meal, don't you know if the shelter has a shortage of food resources?" Jiang Xianrong snorted, "Some of them are good to eat, and I'll talk nonsense!"
Wu Zhongxue glanced at the food placed everywhere in the house, including many fruits that were thrown away halfway through the trash can, and sighed in his heart: "Your Majesty, one meal a day is indeed not enough to support high-intensity labor..."
"When you are full, let them resist me?" Jiang Xianrong waved his hand, "This matter is not negotiable! Our supplies are not that sufficient. When the shelter is strong enough, we will give them extra meals if there is no shortage of food."
"Yes..." Wu Zhongxue lowered his head and continued, "In addition, we have been trying to contact the outside world and find other shelters, but we have not received any response at the moment."
"Continue to search! If you want to strengthen your power, it is very important to cooperate with other shelters. We can only expand and train our teams to enter the center of Hua County? If so many materials in the city can be taken out, we will not be afraid of being hungry!"
Wu Zhongxue thought to himself, when have you been hungry? In this shelter, except for the survivors who were deceived into being a coolie, the management and the guards can basically eat full meals a day.
But he agreed, "Yes, I will do my best!"
"Look, this is called professionalism!" Jiang Xianrong pointed at Wu Zhongxue, turned to the young man and woman beside him and smiled, "Do you understand?"
Several young men and women immediately gave flattering smiles and repeatedly said yes.
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take your leave first!"
