Chapter 90 - A Sudden Warning
Chapter 90 - A Sudden Warning
After such a gruesome video while eating breakfast, everyone once again went back to the living room on the first floor to discuss important matters.
And Xiao Wei has casually sat in Shen Hao's lap like it was natural for him to do. Of course, the hand that instantly wrapped around his waist showed how the other person found his actions natural too.
??"Before we start, Savy, make sure to take note if they followed my order of daily watching the live video that had been recorder alright?"
"D-Do we really have to watch it? Can't I just refuse it? There is no way I will be facing those dangerous and gruesome Zombies!"
Suddenly, a young woman couldn't help but finally voice out what the other people are probably thinking, which are the relatives, families, and friends of the group of bent men. Although, the people with a mature mentality and capable of perceiving their present reality could easily understand why Xiao Wei had given such an order.
Especially after witnessing the gruesome death of the people in the hands of the Zombies.
"Hm? So, you just want to leech off for your entire life? Then, why should I have to keep you in my Base? Do you think that you are special enough to live a comfortable life? Heh! It's far better to just feed you to my excellent Hua if you are just going to become a parasite. At least, you can be useful in that way."
Damn, my dream of being a salted fish appeared to be vanishing after analyzing all the features in the Territory Management System that I needed to fulfill to activate it, yet you already considered living a relaxed life just like that?
I am the Lord of the Base and I couldn't even do that!
"...Y-You! How could you say such a thing!"
"Why couldn't I? This is my Base, all the materials gathered here are what I bought with my own money. All the workers and people gathered today aside from everyone in the living room are what I had chosen after carefully and meticulously investigating what kind of people they are. If you have a problem with my rules and orders, you can just leave."
Suddenly, the young man that had been displaying just a fun and games attitude just a moment ago had changed with how he spoke to others, causing the entire atmosphere to become heavy and stifling.
At the same time, the young man suddenly showed a rather disturbing emotion in his crimson eyes, causing the young woman that was the entire focus of such a gaze to shudder in fright, which has also caused her to start regretting opening her mouth up.
"Listen here, every single one of you is already being given a great privilege. You had a comfortable place to live with, which is in the most secure place in the entire Base. The food, clothes, and all the materials you will be receiving will mostly be mine."
Xiao Wei didn't care how the other people began to warily watch him, somehow his mood just turned moody as soon as he listened to the young woman questioning his order.
Although the entire reason why he started speaking in such a threatening manner was the fact he could perceive how the young woman seemed to assume that she was quite special, that her voice and opinion would matter.
There is also a wrong impression that just because she is related to one of the groups of bent men that she doesn't need to do too much.
If it was at a different time, Xiao Wei could have just laughed it off, it's too bad that he chose to become moody and annoying.
Well, I'll use this chance to show that I had a mood swing since I might not be able to have a point to buy my calming medicine in the future. What with all the points needed to activate all the archives features in the System.
"Frankly, I wouldn't have let most of you live in the old Villa if it weren't for that group of bent men sakes. After all, this place will be my main residence, where I will perform most of the important situations that I need to deal with. So, I would prefer to just let the people I trust stay here alright?"
"W-Why are you being like this??? Why are you saying such cruel words?"
"Lan! Stop talking!"
Suddenly, Tan Xue had taken a step forward while shooting a warning look to his female cousin who seemed to be unable to understand their present reality, still thinking that she was still a rich young lady being respected because of her outstanding identity and connection.
"...Xiao Wei, I'll apologize for my cousin's sake. It seems that she still doesn't fully understand the seriousness of our situation."
"Brother Xue!"
"Lan, wake up! It's an Apocalypse world! Your identity and wealth don't matter anymore. You are now a normal person living in a harsh world! Besides, there is nothing wrong with Xiao Wei order, every one of us will need to get used to facing such enemies because it's part of our survival!"
"...Why…Why!!! I don't want to live in such a world, Brother Xue!!!"
Xiao Wei couldn't help but raise his eyebrow when the young woman started to display an ugly crying face after sitting limping in her chair.
It appears that the young woman had been subconsciously stopping the reality from fully being ingrained in her mind despite all she witnessed and experienced.
"Oh, a late reaction? I can help slap her with reality if you want me to? Don't worry, it seems that I am quite good at it. You can tell in the live video how there are more people surviving, somehow prepared to face the Zombies after listening to my announcement."
Although I mostly focus on the people dying in the hands of the Zombies during the live video.
"No, thank you."
After refusing the young man's offer without an ounce of hesitation, Tan Xue couldn't help but feel helpless when his female cousin started to break down, which he couldn't help but step forward to embrace her before gently patting her back in a soothing manner.
Of course, Tan Xue tried hard to ignore the deep gaze of a certain someone, who seemed to want to burn his back.
Damn, when did Jianguo become so unaccommodating to other people? Hello, I am comforting my female cousin that couldn't handle the entire situation anymore.
I can smell your spilled vinegar even a distance away!
"Ah… well, my words still remain true though."
Xiao Wei just shrugged his shoulders before an innocent smile started to appear on his face even though there is a young woman that has just broken down a few distances away from where he is sitting.
Especially when he also has a hand in causing the young woman to completely lose it.
"Anyway, I really like everyone in the group of bent men. You guys are interesting and funny. So I can easily forgive some circumstances."
Xiao Wei shifted in a more comfortable position in Shen Hao's lap before speaking the last warning he wanted to be deeply ingrained in everyone's mind. After all, he still needs to discuss more important matters regarding everyone's roles in the base.
"Anyway, I will tell this just once and you better not forget it. If you cross a line, or betray us for some reason and even consider doing something dangerous, then be prepared to die by my hand alright? Of course, you guys couldn't just decide to show favoritism to other people if you met an acquaintance later on. At least, you better inform me first."
"As for me, there is only one certain fact that everyone has to remember too. If something were to happen to my Adorable Wei Wei. Don't blame me if I were to do something unforgivable to everyone alright? Wei is my entire world, so of course, I wouldn't care about anything else."
Somehow, Shen Hao has finally chosen to speak with absolute honesty after the young man has spoken his warning.
At the same time, he quickly shoots an apologetic look to his mother that has instantly nodded her head while showing an understanding gentle smile on her face, completely showing how she could understand his situation.
"It won't even matter even if you are my family and friends. Because I won't be in the proper mindset if that were to happen."
"Oh my… I also feel the same…"
"My Adorable Wei…"
"My Dear Hao…"
Although the crazy couple is about to enter their own world again, this time, everyone didn't roll their eyes because of the dog food before them.
Because after hearing such a warning, everyone has treated it completely seriously despite how it felt like the two young men aren't serious enough with how they are now acting lovey-dovey.
"Oh… I really want to show my love, but we need to finish this so I don't need to deal with the situation later when something serious comes up."
Although Xiao Wei was reluctant to stop flirting with Shen Hao, he finally clapped his hands before shooting the quiet bunch of people with an extremely harmless and adorable appearance.
Which had failed to make everyone relax, after all, everyone already knew that there is nothing innocent about the young man before them.
"Alright, let me give some of you a rank and status in the Base. Especially, in which management you will be responsible for supervising."
I'm going to start giving all of your responsibility~ My lovely Little Minions!
"As for the others who wouldn't get a position, I'm sure there will be a fitting place for you to show your talent. I can even find your hidden talent later! So don't worry too much about becoming useless. I'll think about how to make all of you worth keeping!"
Xiao Wei smiled brightly, completely not bothering to hide the utter glee and excitement on his face while his crimson eyes began to flicker all over the people in the room like a predator hunting his prey, which caused them to squirm in dread.
"Of course, everyone will have to put some time into training how to fight, after all, accidents will always happen. You should be able to fight when the time comes, especially when running away. It will also help you build up the instinct to feel danger, particularly when a person wants to stab you in the back."
Xiao Wei couldn't help but remind them about the danger of humans after focusing on the Zombies and other creatures that they will soon face.
"Don't forget, in everyone's eyes that would work hard to even have a place to stay and food to consume in the Base=, all of you will become the envy of those people. Do you know how scary a person can be when they become extremely envious and jealous of what you have that they couldn't? Or how easier your life is in the Apocalypse?"
You are going to become their target~ Even if you didn't do anything wrong, they will take out their resentment against you. Of course, as the Leader of the Base, I will also receive such experience, but I can handle them.
"So, watch out for your back! You will never know how they will scheme and plot on your demise~"
