Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 48 Today is an Auspicious Day!
After Zhao Dahai finished speaking, the others were silent for a moment. Then, the young man who had asked the first question said,
"Brother Hai, since... now that there's nothing to worry about, why not find a few more people? That slutty Liu woman alone can't satisfy us brothers, right?"
"Xiao Lü! There are over a hundred people over there now, more than half of them are women, and at least forty or fifty of them are young and beautiful. Are you afraid we won't have anyone to play with in the future?"
Zhao Dahai smiled sinisterly.
"But we can't do that now. There are over one hundred and fifty people over there. If we push them too hard, even with weapons, we won't be able to handle it. So we have to take it step by step!
"Liu Yun is one of our company's people, and our immediate superior. She's used to bossing us around, so if we call her over, she won't be suspicious, and no one else will think too much about it.
"But if we pull out a few more, and they're all young and beautiful girls, do you think they won't suspect what we're up to? There are only a dozen of us. If we really go up against them, we won't get any benefits. We have to boil them like frogs in warm water! Keep the obedient ones, and slowly kill the disobedient ones. That's the way to do it, understand?"
Zhao Dahai actually had some brains. And his desire to capture Liu Yun and vent his lust was not just because his hormones were raging.
Liu Yun was their superior, and she had always been cold and indifferent to them. Each of them had had their wages docked by her for various reasons, so naturally they didn't have a good impression of her.
Moreover, subduing one's superior, a woman who was usually cold and aloof, was a great thrill for a man.
Zhao Dahai wanted to use Liu Yun to ignite these guys' bestial nature, to make them temporarily forget their fear of the apocalypse and become fierce. That way, he could use these people to suppress even more people on the other side, and at the same time expand his own power and stabilize his position.
In addition, bringing Liu Yun over was also a test for these people. Zhao Dahai needed people like Xiao Lü, who had no bottom line, and who would do anything as long as they could survive and live well.
He had already established his authority with his killings. Now, if he gave them a taste of sweetness, these guys would follow him wholeheartedly. He could use them to suppress the others, and then slowly pick and choose from those people. Those who suited him would stay, and those who didn't would be killed. His power would then be initially established.
"Brother Hai is right!"
Zhao Dahai's words made the eyes of the other guys light up. That's right, there were over a hundred people. If they were pushed too hard, they definitely couldn't suppress them, so they couldn't be too hasty.
Moreover, at this time, Zhao Dahai made these people admire him even more. When killing zombies, he had always been at the front, without showing a trace of fear. And he was so smart. Following such a person, wouldn't they be living the good life in the future?
"You guys wait here, I'll go get that bitch over here!"
Seeing the look in these people's eyes, Zhao Dahai smiled slightly and said. Then, he beckoned to Xiao Lü, pulled him to the door, and whispered to him,
"Keep an eye on Lao Wang, don't let him out!"
Xiao Lü was stunned. He was about to turn around and look at Lao Wang, but Zhao Dahai held his head down.
"Don't look at him! Just know it in your heart!"
"Oh!"
Xiao Lü nodded quickly, then looked at Zhao Dahai hesitantly.
"Brother Hai, are you going over there by yourself?"
"Hahahaha! Just watch me!"
Zhao Dahai laughed heartily, then opened the door and strode out.
"Brother Hai... is awesome!"
The others saw that Zhao Dahai dared to go to the room with over a hundred people by himself to pull Liu Yun over, and they were all filled with admiration. Lao Wang, on the other hand, looked at them with a worried expression.
"Bang!"
Zhao Dahai came to the next room. The top floor was an advertising company, and this room was a huge exhibition hall. Although there were over a hundred people, it didn't feel crowded at all.
However, most of these people were now gathered by the window, looking into the distance with anticipation, hoping for a rescue team. The rest were listlessly sitting or lying down, scattered around the room.
Hearing the door open, everyone's eyes focused on him. Several people ran over quickly and asked nervously,
"How is it? Dahai! Is the rescue here?"
In fact, they had been watching out the window all the time and knew very well that there was no rescue. But... like a life-saving straw, they still held a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
"Everyone! I've already sent someone out to look for rescue, but we can't be sure if or when the rescue will come!"
Zhao Dahai said, looking at these people.
Of course, he hadn't sent anyone out, but he wanted to give these people hope so that they would continue to follow him and obey his arrangements.
Hearing Zhao Dahai's words, the crowd couldn't help but become a little restless, but at least they were relatively stable, knowing that someone had been sent out!
"Everyone should be clear about what kind of world this is now. What we need to do now is wait and not panic!"
Zhao Dahai clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.
"Everyone, we are definitely safe on this floor now because the zombies have been cleared and all the entrances and exits have been closed, with my people guarding them. So you can rest assured.
"But that's not enough. If the rescue arrives today or tomorrow, then it's no problem for us to wait here. But now we don't know when the rescue will come, so we have to save ourselves! At the very least... we need to collect food and water!"
"Save ourselves?"
The crowd looked at each other, then nodded together. This was an office building, and naturally they had no food or water on hand. They had been feeling hungry and thirsty since last night.
If it hadn't been mentioned before, everyone might have been able to ignore it because they were looking forward to rescue. But as soon as Zhao Dahai mentioned food and water, many people suddenly felt parched.
"There is a lot of food and water in the shopping mall downstairs, but there are also a lot of zombies there. So, we need to organize some people to go down and try to get some food and drink so that everyone here can survive!"
Zhao Dahai continued,
"But before that, we need to have enough weapons. So, I will take my brothers to look for something that can be used as a weapon on the floors below. If anyone knows where there is something that can be used as a weapon, please provide us with information! Also..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Dahai looked at everyone.
"I hope that during the time we are away, everyone will supervise each other and not let anyone leave here casually!"
"Not let us leave?"
A woman in her forties stood up and stared at Zhao Dahai.
"Are you going to imprison us?"
