The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1001 From Twenty-odd People to Over Two Thousand
Huo Jingang, Su Yanxing, and other leaders who had previously broken away from the Southern Alliance stood on the side of the road. When they saw familiar faces getting out of the car, they greeted them warmly without feeling any sense of unfamiliarity.

Previously, due to their different views on the future, everyone followed different leaders and took different paths. Now, however, they have come together again.

A thousand words are left unsaid; a hearty pat on the arm or a tight hug dissolves the initial awkwardness, and from now on, we'll be good brothers!
The people of the New Era were not neglected; they were received by members of the Tianma Island Legion.

"Come on, everyone, come over here first. I have something to tell you all."

Zhang Su's voice echoed across the wilderness through the loudspeaker, beckoning everyone to gather in front of the makeshift platform.

The Iron Wall Security Battalion and ordinary members of the New Era looked around. They dared not make any big commotion in Lu County, otherwise they would cause a zombie riot like last night. This made them very nervous, but the surroundings were calm, so they were obviously worrying too much.

Members of both legions maintained order at the scene and guided newly arrived survivors to the wilderness.

"Old Zhao is in charge of leading the Iron Wall Security Battalion, so who is the current leader of the New Era?"

Zhang Su and the others gathered and began to ask questions.

Several former senior executives at New Era looked at each other and ultimately elected Li Shuangbao as their leader.

"Mr. Zhang, is there anything you need to announce?"

Li Shuangbao didn't actually want to take this position, but he didn't have time to worry about that now, so he gritted his teeth and stepped forward to stand next to Zhao Linfeng.

"Yes!"

Zhang Su nodded, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the crowd. Then, his tone turned serious as he solemnly said, "Tianma Island didn't have nearly two thousand survivors from the beginning. When we first arrived, there were only twenty or thirty of us. We gradually absorbed survivors and developed the island little by little."

This is the history of Tianma Island. Some people listened attentively, while others were not very interested, but in any case, everyone was listening.

"After one crisis and hardship after another, we have finally arrived at today. Just yesterday, two more small groups of survival teams joined the Tianma Island family!"
When disaster strikes, human nature is exposed. Everyone here is an elite who has survived by crawling through the darkness. Each camp has its own set of rules of conduct, and each survivor has their own rules for surviving the apocalypse. There's nothing wrong with that!

However, after choosing to join Tianma Island, all these rules, guidelines, and principles must be discarded. From now on, you will need to abide by the rules of Tianma Island. Now, let our Logistics Department Minister, Yu Wen, read out the rules of Tianma Island to our new friends!

After speaking, Zhang Su raised his hand, giving his seat to Yu Wen.

In the past, whenever a force joined Tianma Island, there were always some troublemakers, either stealing or fighting. Last night, Zhang Su and Yu Wen summarized their experience and concluded that the problem was that the rules and regulations were not explained in advance.

Therefore, this time, taking advantage of the welcoming ceremony, the rules of Tianma Island were announced directly, which will also serve as the fixed procedure for recruiting survivors in the future.

"Hello everyone, I am Yu Wen, the head of the logistics department of Tianma Island. Now, I will announce..."

Yu Wen stepped forward, greeted everyone, and then read out the ten ironclad rules of Tianma Island without a script. To emphasize their importance, he read them three times, correctly and incorrectly, without any mistakes, so that everyone would know that these ironclad rules were not made up on the spot, but were established rules in advance!
Zhang Su stood to the side, taking in everyone's expressions. He couldn't accurately sense the emotions from among hundreds of people, but judging from their expressions, everyone was listening attentively and taking notes diligently.

Unless someone is purely evil, no one will cause damage to their home.

"I know that even if I emphasize it three times, some people will still not remember. That's okay. We have printed a lot of brochures and placed them in the houses you will be moving into, along with bedding, toilet paper and other living supplies. Please refer to them often and remember them. Do not throw them away!"

After speaking, Yu Wen bowed deeply in three directions, his tone firm yet his attitude humble.

Sparse applause broke out from the audience, followed by more people clapping symbolically. It was clear that everyone was very cautious, and their eyes seemed to be asking, "Is this really possible?"

Applause might indeed attract some zombies from distant villages, but for such an important occasion, having someone on guard is the fundamental solution.

After a moment, when the applause subsided, Zhang Su stepped forward, raised his hand to stop the noisy crowd, and continued, "I am willing to trust everyone, and I ask everyone to treat your new home with sincerity! For the upcoming check-in and registration work, Zhao Linfeng and Li Shuangbao, you two will lead the team to organize things well and be sure to cooperate with our staff. That's all, welcome again!"

After the simple welcoming ceremony, many people had doubts in their hearts about when the promised benefits would be fulfilled. They had doubts but were not comfortable asking. Perhaps everything will be answered once things are sorted out.

In reality, their worries were completely unnecessary. In the village, the errand-running team was coordinating the distribution with the supplies department, and the arrangements were very well done. The busiest time recruiting survivors was after returning from the Nanhe International Entertainment Center, when the number of people almost doubled. Coupled with the lack of a proper system at the time, it took several days of frantic activity to figure things out.

Things are different now. Tianma Island now has a relatively complete management system. More than 100 staff members are fully committed to handling the check-in and registration of more than 700 people in an orderly and stress-free manner!
Unlike the bustling Tianma Island, Yong County, where Genesis is located, is as usual. People in all areas are already back at work and are very busy, but not chaotic.

In the industrial zone, several factories were bustling with people. Survivors dressed in neat work clothes were fully engaged in production, while administrative staff ate breakfast in their offices. If it weren't for the surrounding environment, you wouldn't know that this was a terrible post-apocalyptic world!

The commercial district, located on the most bustling section of the original county town, has only about a dozen shops open. Before the disaster, it would have been far from enough to support a town of 10,000 people, but now it is sufficient!

In the military zone, different branches of the armed forces have different training programs, and they all work hard in their respective areas.

Many combat personnel who were already out on missions had left the camp earlier.

Chang Ying, the head of the Warhawk Department, personally came to the command and control center.

"Minister Eagle!"

"Greetings, Minister Ying!"

The two monitoring center staff members were startled by the sudden appearance of the high-ranking leader. Although they were not from the same department, the leader's rank was significant, and they had to show him the respect he deserved.

Chang Ying was very approachable. He nodded to the two men, then walked to a row of screens and asked, "Any movement from White Tiger No. 3 and Vermilion Bird No. 2?"

"Reporting to Minister Ying, according to the records, White Tiger III and Vermilion Bird II have not moved for more than ten hours!"

A short-haired man gave a firm and resonant answer, while simultaneously retrieving relevant records from his computer.

Chang Ying glanced at the screen, his expression calm, but inwardly he was very frustrated. He had done Hei Xiazi a favor, but now the other party's fate was unknown. If Hei Xiazi died, the favor would naturally be gone...

We can't expect the new Black Bear to repay a favor, can we?
Four pilots from their own department were killed, and the camp lost two helicopters; the blame will likely fall on them as well…

"A crime!"

"Huh? Minister Ying, what's wrong?"

The short-haired man didn't hear what Chang Ying muttered.

"No need to continue receiving signals from White Tiger 3 and Vermilion Bird 2. Cut them off!"

"Cut it off? Okay, okay, I understand!"

The short-haired man thought he had misheard and instinctively wanted to ask again, but seeing that the other person had already turned and left, he quickly gave an affirmative answer.

After Chang Ying left the monitoring and command center, the two looked at each other, not understanding why the other had given the order to cut off communications.

"What should we do? Should we listen to Minister Ying?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't we from the Warhawk Division? Of course we have to listen to our own boss!"

"Yes, yes, let me ask!"

Issuing orders across departments is a violation of regulations, so the two decided to consult their superiors. They received the same answer and then carried out the operation. However, the two still couldn't understand why the two perfectly good helicopters were just left unattended in Qincheng.
As a low-level member of the Creator, they possess the arrogance that belongs to the Creator, but they lack the ability to think rationally.

It wasn't just two helicopters; even the leader of the Wild Bear tribe was deemed dead. The general had already initiated a re-selection plan, and the modified humans in the Wild Bear tribe were all eager to try!
