Chapter 1842: Conscripting Men (This weather is sometimes hot and sometimes cold)

After this incident, the survivors calmed down. Of course, they had to calm down, after all, everyone saw what happened just now, and they had to admit that after getting the gun, everyone felt more confident. However, the facts told them that this was just an illusion.

Although the weapons in their hands were far more powerful than they had imagined, it was obvious that the people in the Inquisition did not take them seriously at all...

Of course, what made them obedient was the silent figure following behind them. The unlucky man had been completely transformed into a different appearance. Most of his body was covered with machinery, and his severed hands were equipped with two mechanical claws.

The man at this moment had a dull expression, like a puppet without any self-awareness. He just quietly followed the crowd, carrying some sundries, as if he was a hardworking porter.

Just seeing this scene made everyone feel a chill in their hearts, but the most important thing was not this, but the attitude of the Tribunal.

"This is my first transformation. If it doesn't go smoothly, don't blame me. After all, I'm not Maria. I don't have such advanced transformation skills."

Liumi'er explained to Duanmu Huai, and Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"It doesn't matter. As long as it can be used, at least it won't be wasted."

Listening to the two people walking and chatting, the survivors were all shocked. The two of them were very calm, without any panic or anger, as if they were talking about something that was taken for granted - however, considering that they were transforming a living person, people couldn't help but think more.

"Do not worry."

Duanmu Huai turned around and waved to the survivors behind him.

"Only those who disobey the Inquisition and criminals will be turned into servitors. Just be obedient and don't cause any trouble. I won't turn you into such a thing."

"Why, why do you have to do this?"

The short-haired girl following behind mustered up the courage to ask.

"Can't you just kill him?"

"Now that all humans in this world are facing extinction, every single person is useful. It would be a waste to just kill them all."

"Well, then you can use those zombies?"

"They're already contaminated. No."

Duanmu Huai shook his head. Although he could destroy the plague spread by the Corrupted Stain and heal other people, that was only possible when they were still alive. Once they died, they would have completely turned into demons under the Corrupted Stain. In simple terms, those zombies were no different from the Warp Demons that had completely invaded the bodies of mortals. Therefore, Duanmu Huai could not turn the zombies back into humans.

"But isn't this too cruel?"

"cruel?"

Duanmu Huai looked at the short-haired girl in surprise.

"He used the weapon I gave him to threaten our people and it was okay?"

"That's not what I meant. I just think that your methods seem a little too..."

"That's what the Inquisition does."

Duanmu Huai interrupted the short-haired girl's protest swiftly.

"Hold it in if you don't accept it."

"…………………"

The short-haired girl closed her mouth and retreated silently. To be honest, she really didn't want to continue following this group of mysterious guys, but the short-haired girl knew that, at least for now, following them was the only way to ensure her survival rate. Although she regretted not acting as a group when she was in the car before, she has changed her mind now. Although Duanmu Huai is indeed very tough and cold, it is precisely because of this that everyone is afraid of him and is willing to obey his orders.

In the eyes of the short-haired girl, it was good enough to be able to do this for now. She knew very well that a group must have a leader, especially in the current environment, a strong leader was very necessary. Although the methods of the Tribunal were quite cruel, at least they were against the enemy. As long as she always stood on the side of the Tribunal, there should be no problem.

perhaps………

"Please, please..."

Just as the short-haired girl was thinking, another man asked uneasily.

“What should we do next……?”

"Wait a minute...Mary, have you finished registering?"

"Yes."

The short-haired girl looked up and saw a blonde girl approaching Duanmu Huai and handing him the notebook. The other person seemed to be a foreigner and was very beautiful. Just now, when the unlucky guy was being transformed, this girl took the notebook and asked everyone about their occupation, age and experience one by one... Although I don't know what she is going to do, but...

"Um………"

Duanmu Huai took the notebook, looked at it carefully, and then looked at the survivors.

“How many of you can drive?”

"I………"

"And I………"

Two men, including the bus driver, raised their hands.

"Come here, over there."

Duanmu Huai pointed to a place at random, and then the two men walked over obediently with guns in their hands.

"And... there's also a plumber?"

"Ah, yes, I am here!"

A man in work clothes also stood up hurriedly.

“Can you repair the car?”

“This… this won’t happen…”

"It's better than Xiaobai. You should stay with them."

"yes……………"

The man in work clothes also obediently followed Duanmu Huai's instructions and ran to the two drivers.

"And then...white-collar workers? Foreign companies and finance? They are all useless."

Duanmu Huai flipped through the pages and curled his lips. "Those whose names I called should stand on the opposite side."

Soon, Duanmu Huai called out the names, and although the people whose names he called out didn't know what Duanmu Huai was going to do, they all obeyed and stood according to his instructions.

Soon, everyone was divided into three groups. The two drivers and the electrician were in one group, the others were in one group, and the remaining group was composed of minors, two students and two children.

"You are now divided into three groups."

Duanmu Huai stared at the survivors and spoke.

"Each group has a different mission, but they all must follow my command, you......!"

Duanmu Huai pointed at the driver who had driven the bus before.

"You're in charge of the pilot crew."

"Ah? Me? Okay..."

"Then the assault team... you come."

Duanmu Huai pointed at the short-haired girl. When the commotion happened just now, Duanmu Huai also observed the reactions of these survivors. Most of them were at a loss or even panicked. Only this short-haired girl looked quite calm. At least she was a person with strong psychological quality. Moreover, even though she knew there was danger, she still dared to ask him questions. She was quite courageous.

Of course, such people are usually more opinionated, but Duanmu Huai is not worried about this. People with opinions are more likely to understand which is a better choice, living or being a robot servant. Although this short-haired girl is pretty, Duanmu Huai doesn't care about such trivial matters. After being transformed into a robot servant, it will be the same anyway.

"What's your name?"

"Three days of leisure."

The short-haired girl stared at Duanmu Huai and answered in a low voice.

"Well, then the assault squad will be in your charge."

"……………yes."

"And then..."

Duanmu Huai turned his gaze towards the underage group. Feeling Duanmu Huai's gaze, the two children were frightened and hurriedly hid behind one of the girls.

"Do you know?"

"Ah, yes."

The girl seemed to have not expected Duanmu Huai to ask her a question, and she quickly lowered her head.

"They are my brothers... I am Fujino Fuzuki, this is Yu, and this is Takashi..."

"…………………"

Duanmu Huai scratched his head. Children are the most troublesome. Not only are they difficult to manage, but they are also prone to causing trouble. Moreover, these two kids still look like elementary school students. They have no chance of becoming any kind of fighting force...

"Lorena, I'll leave it to you. I remember you did this in church before."

"Yes, my Lord Knight."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Lorena nodded.

"The church often takes care of children, and I'm used to it."

"Then it's decided."

After Duanmu Huai finished the distribution, it came to an end. Then he looked at the notebook again.

"Um... there's someone named Tanaka up there... come over here."

"Ah, yes, it's me..."

The person who stepped out in response was none other than the office worker uncle who had been locked in the supermarket with the three stewardesses. He walked out nervously and looked at Duanmu Huai.

"What are your orders?"

“You work for the city government?”

"I'm just a clerk..."

"It's better to be a junior clerk."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand and took a map.

"Come here, I want to ask you something."

"OK……………"

Although Uncle Tanaka was just a small clerk, Duanmu Huai knew that there were many things that these low-level staff knew better than those above them. Not to mention that they were the ones who ran errands for government events, so if you wanted to ask for details, it would be more useful to find these small clerks than those high-ranking bigwigs.

Duanmu Huai pulled Tanaka aside and asked him a few questions, then drew a line on the map, then stood up and looked at everyone else.

"Okay, let's go."

"Where are we going?"

"First we need to find a vehicle."

Duanmu Huai said this and took a look at the bus. When it was surrounded by zombies, the bus was already riddled with holes and could not be used.

Fortunately, Tanaka said that a few days ago, the engineering team had received a new batch of transport vehicles and heavy equipment, mainly for renovation and reconstruction work. Duanmu Huai also set his sights on these vehicles, at least he couldn't let them walk - just being tired would make people die.

"We'll follow this road to the construction site, passing by schools and shelters on the way to see if there are any survivors there. Of course..."

Having said that, Duanmu Huai sneered and stared at the people in front of him.

"By the way, I'll let you experience the feeling of fighting."

Looking at Duanmu Huai with a grim smile on his face, everyone's faces turned pale when they heard these words.

Although they were mentally prepared, but... did they really have to fight zombies?
