Zongman: The End of the Universe

Chapter 40 40. Initial Rule (4.7K)

In theory, anyone can recruit refugees, and as long as the person recruits refugees in an "official" capacity, anyone can do it easily.

There are three reasons why Liu Yuansheng chose Takagi Yuriko. The first one is to reassure Takagi Yuriko and let her know that he will not touch her.

Secondly, Liu Yuansheng also wanted her to continue to manage the logistics of the manor. He had heard from Saeko before that this Lady Gao Cheng was an absolute heroine, with first-class means, vision and character. It was a pity to leave such a talent in a corner.

The third, and most important, point is legitimacy.

Takagi Soichiro's last wish before his death was to hand over the ownership of the manor to Yanagi Gensho, but he only told Murata and Matsumoto about his wish, and no one else knew about it.

The refugee camp was established by the Takagi family and was forcibly convened by Liu Yuansheng. Without Takagi Yuriko's support, these refugees would inevitably have the illusion that "if Liu Yuansheng was killed, they could also join in".

In short, Liu Yuansheng would never admit that there was any sexual attraction in this.

After Liu Yuansheng finished speaking, Takagi Yuriko nodded respectfully in response to the order, then asked Liu Yuansheng for two guards, then turned gracefully and walked towards the refugee camp.

However, when she passed by Takagi Saya, she paused slightly, but only for a moment, and then continued walking forward.

At this moment, Busujima Saeko also walked forward with a few people who looked a little restrained. Takagi Saya on the side looked up, but suddenly found that the familiar figure was missing from the team.

The amber pupils shrank first, and then she thought of something. A flash of panic flashed across her pretty face, and then her whole face became ferocious, and she roared at Liu Yuansheng:
"Where's filial piety?! Where is filial piety?! What did you do to filial piety?! Liu Yuansheng! Tell me! Tell me!!!"

Miyamoto Rei and Hirano Toda, who were standing by, both lowered their heads and stammered, pretending not to see anything.

Alice vaguely guessed something, but she was smart enough not to say anything. Busujima Saeko looked at Takagi Saya coldly and also didn't say anything.

Shizuka Marikawa didn't care at all. She was just surprised to find that Takashi Komuro was missing, and then she started teasing Alice.

Liu Yuansheng just glanced at her sideways, and then said lightly:
"Killed by me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Takagi Saya's pupils suddenly shrank into a point, her pretty face turned pale in an instant, and tears immediately slid down both sides of her cheeks, her pretty little face was dull.

But the next second, Takagi Saya seemed to have gone crazy, her pretty face turned red and her delicate features became ferocious, and she was about to pounce on Liu Yuansheng and bite him.

"Liu Yuansheng! You deserve to die! Why did you kill Xiao! Why!!!"

Liu Yuansheng's eyes were cold. He was too lazy to argue with the loser in front of him. Seeing this, the two guards behind Takagi Saya hurriedly stopped the mad dog-like Takagi Saya.

What kind of joke is this young lady playing? Is she trying to kill herself? In order to prevent this evil star from attacking her, Commander Takashiro gave all his guards, but Saya Takashiro actually ran into the muzzle of Liu Yuansheng's gun!
If this isn’t lighting a lantern in the toilet, what is this?
Unable to bear the noise in his ears, Liu Yuansheng simply turned a blind eye and gave the two guards a casual order:

"Take her down."

"Hi!"

"Let me go! Asshole! Let me go!"

The two men carried the frantically struggling Takagi Saya and walked towards the castle in the distance.

Hirano Toda looked at Takagi Saya leaving, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, but the next second he looked at Liu Yuansheng with fear, lowered his head, and pursed his lips in distress.

[Brother Liu Yuan hates Gao Cheng so much, then what Brother Liu Yuan promised me last night, won’t it be…]

Just as Hirano Toda was struggling, a familiar voice with a slightly unhappy tone sounded from above his head:
"Toda, I've given you a chance. You can go and comfort her yourself at night. Just push everything onto me. You don't need me to teach you, right?"

???

Hirano Toda quickly raised his head in surprise, and then a hint of surprise appeared on his face. But the next second he realized that someone was watching him, and he began to move around awkwardly again.

At this moment, in his eyes, Liu Yuansheng seemed to have returned to the old Brother Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuansheng smiled and patted his uneasy shoulder:

"When the time is right, I will ask Mrs. Takagi to introduce you to someone else, but Toda..."

Liu Yuansheng paused at the end of his speech. Hirano Toda raised his head with excitement and confusion, but suddenly met those eyes as deep as a cold pond.

"Please... don't let me down."

Subconsciously, Hirano Toda shuddered and shouted loudly:
"Hey! I will never let Brother Liu Yuan down!"

[The change rate of Hirano Toda's life trajectory exceeds 60%]

[Obtain 10% of the source of the world]

Liu Yuansheng's eyes flashed, and he patted his shoulder in disapproval:
"I believe you."

The combination of a carrot and a stick made Hirano Toda feel dizzy, and his loyalty to Liu Yuansheng increased rapidly.

Murata and Matsumoto on the side lowered their heads, their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts, pretending not to have heard what Liu Yuansheng had just arranged for their eldest lady.

But he was very confused as to why Liu Yuansheng valued this fat young man in front of him so much.

However, Liu Yuansheng soon gave them the opportunity to understand.

"Murata, Matsumoto, you should have a repair shop here, right?"

"Yes, Commander."

"Okay, then take Hirano Toda with you and drive our car over. You will work together in the future, so you can communicate with each other now."

Hirano Toda was immediately flattered and looked at Liu Yuansheng, then scratched his head timidly and looked at the two of them.

Murata and Matsumoto raised their eyebrows slightly. They were all adults and naturally would not show contempt on their faces. They knew that Liu Yuansheng was giving them a chance.

"Hi! Commander!"

Liu Yuansheng nodded slightly and waved his hand to signal the three to leave.

"Saeko, take Shizuka and Rei with you, and put the clothes in their respective rooms."

"it is good."

Busujima Saeko looked at Liu Yuansheng's left arm with heartache, but without saying anything more, she led Miyamoto Rei and Marikawa Shizuka away.

As soon as the few people drove away, a noisy sound was heard in the distance.

Turning around, I saw a large group of people walking out of the refugee camp and heading towards the central square.

Yuriko Takagi's graceful figure in bright red was walking in the front, and was particularly eye-catching.

Crowds of people gradually gathered in front of the fountain. There were more than a hundred people and the noise was quite loud. When they thought that it was Soichiro Takagi who had summoned them for his daily speech, they found a tall young man standing in the middle of the guard team.

However, the famous Lady Gaocheng stood beside the young man with her eyes closed and her head slightly lowered.

What's going on? Where is the head of the Gaocheng family?

Many people in the crowd looked at each other, and those who were quick-witted looked at the young man who was being supported by the guards with different eyes.

"Mr. Liu, all the people in the refugee camp are here."

Takagi Yuriko lowered her head slightly and stood respectfully beside Liu Yuansheng.

Liu Yuansheng calmly glanced at the huge crowd in front of him, nodded slightly, and said casually:

"Mrs. Gao Cheng, please call me Liu Yuansheng, or Yuansheng. After all, I am the junior. Forget about the term sir."

Takashiro Yuriko suddenly raised her pretty face, her beautiful eyes moving around, and looked at Liu Yuansheng meaningfully, but then she lowered her head and responded:

"it is good."

Seeing that the time was almost right, Liu Yuansheng signaled to the members of the guard team on the next side with his eyes.

One person stepped forward and handed over a megaphone, and another person immediately shouted to the crowd:

"All silence!"

The crowd was silent for a moment.

Taking the loudspeaker, Liu Yuansheng walked slowly up to the simple podium that had just been moved in front of him.

Seeing this scene, the crowd became noisy again, and the guards had to continue shouting to barely curb the commotion.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was wrong at this moment.

Liu Yuansheng stood on the podium, but did not rush to speak. Instead, he first glanced at the whispering crowd below the stage. After making sure that everyone had noticed him, he slowly put the megaphone to his mouth, slowly opened his mouth, and spoke clearly and solemnly, word by word:

"Fellow citizens."

"My name is Liu Yuansheng."

His tone was firm and concise, his voice was deep and powerful. As soon as Liu Yuansheng opened his mouth, he seemed to have some kind of power that attracted everyone's attention.

“Before coming to this manor, I was a student who had not yet graduated.”

He paused.

"but now."

Liu Yuansheng looked calm and said something that made everyone frown:
"I am the one you must obey from today on."

The crowd fell silent. They looked at the calm-faced young man on the stage, as if to confirm whether he was joking or not.

A second later, as if they were sure that he was not joking, the crowd suddenly became noisy. They showed mockery on their faces, sneered at each other, pointed at Liu Yuansheng on the stage, and even many sturdy men shouted at Liu Yuansheng, "You haven't grown all your hair yet, have you?"

Members of the guard began to maintain order, shouting "Silence" around the crowd.

But it's useless.

Takagi Yuriko wanted to step forward, but Liu Yuansheng raised his hand to stop her.

His eyes remained calm, without any sign of panic or hesitation.

Liu Yuansheng calmly put down the loudspeaker. In this serious occasion, he casually placed his arms on his thighs and squatted on the podium.

Although the people in the audience were puzzled by Liu Yuansheng's behavior, they didn't care at all. Some even waved their hands, wanting to leave the crowd and return to the camp.

As soon as one person started talking, the crowd began to get restless. They had no time to listen to a kid who hadn't even grown all his hair yet.

But due to the majesty of the guards, they remained on the sidelines, waiting to see whether the leader could leave.

Before the zombie outbreak, Uchiyamada was a gangster. His daily "job" was to lead a few younger brothers to hang around the gates of various schools, looking for timid students and then dragging them into the alleys to blackmail them.

Although not a mainstream one, he is still a Yakuza after all.

After the zombie outbreak, although he was luckily saved, he became a gangster who could only live in the corner of a tent and was looked down upon by others.

But now even a little kid dares to say on the podium that "this is the person they must obey in the future"!
Are you kidding me?! He is Uchiyamada!
Perhaps the restless crowd gave him courage, and he inexplicably had an urge to "be different". If he could undermine the prestige of that kid, maybe...

Uchiyamada's slanted eyes glanced lewdly at the side of Liu Yuansheng, and at the beautiful lady who was standing quietly beside him with her eyes closed and head lowered.

Just do it!

He suddenly stretched out his hand, roughly pushed away the people around him, and walked out of the crowd with a swagger, while his eyes occasionally glanced at the beautiful "Mrs. Gaocheng".

"Sir, you can't leave."

Two guards with long swords on their waists blocked his way.

Uchiyamada was furious. Perhaps it was the unique tongue-twisting sound of the Yakuza that made him feel good about himself. He reached out and tried to push the two guards:
"Tmoro! Get out of here right now! I want to go back to the camp and sleep!"

"No one may leave without the permission of the commander-in-chief."

"Ku La! Don't you understand what I'm saying?! Get out of here! I don't have time to listen to some little kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet. What bullshit! Stop making me laugh to death!"

Uchiyamada's furious voice drowned out the commotion in the crowd, and everyone's eyes were focused on Uchiyamada.

Gazes have weight.

The voice in my ears gradually disappeared, replaced by a gaze that seemed to have substance.

This feeling of being the center of attention made Uchiyamada feel hot all over. He felt that he represented the will of the people! He felt full of power!

Is she looking at herself? She must be looking at herself!
Hahahaha! Just a little devil, it's really hilarious!
Seeing this scene, Liu Yuansheng raised his eyebrows slightly. He had originally planned to find a target to establish his authority, but he didn't expect that someone would give him a pillow just when he was sleepy.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at the guard beside him:

"You, go and bring him here."

"Yes! Commander!"

A guard received the order and immediately trotted over.

"Take him to the commander-in-chief!"

The two guards obeyed the order and immediately stepped forward to restrain Uchiyamada.

But who would have thought that Uchiyamada did not resist. Instead, he held his head high and chest out like a victorious rooster.

"Ku La! Let me go! I can walk on my own!"

The guards looked at each other and let go of their hands.

Uchiyamada smiled smugly, looked at Liu Yuansheng with disdain from a distance, and then spat on the ground.

Then he swaggered over, meeting everyone's gazes.

"Little brat! What are you asking me to do? I don't have time to listen to your bullshit! If you know what's good for you, let me go! Don't think you can order me around just because you have a few people!"

Before the man walked up to Liu Yuansheng, the noisy voice rang out. After Uchiyamada finished speaking, he walked up to Liu Yuansheng and spat on the ground in a self-important manner.

Liu Yuansheng glanced at the yellow phlegm on the ground, frowned slightly, and asked casually:
"what's your name?"

"My name is Uchiyamada! Little brat! Remember this!"

Liu Yuansheng raised his head slightly, his gaze slowly moved from the thick sputum on the ground to his face, his pupils deep like a calm, cold pond.

For some reason, Uchiyamada felt a sudden fear in his heart and nervously took half a step back.

But then he felt humiliated again, took a step forward, raised his head and looked at Liu Yuansheng fiercely.

But as Liu Yuansheng stepped forward, he frowned, raised his chin in disgust, and leaned back as if he was disgusted by him.

This obviously mocking action directly angered Uchiyamada. His face turned grim and full of anger, and he was about to grab Liu Yuansheng by the collar to teach him a lesson!

"So beautiful!!!"

Seeing that the dirty palm was about to touch his neck, Liu Yuansheng frowned, and suddenly stretched out his right hand to grab the guy's outstretched arm and fixed it in front of him.

Uchiyamada tried to push harder out of disbelief, but Liu Yuansheng's feet seemed to be rooted and did not move at all no matter how hard he pushed!

Feeling that he had made a fool of himself, Uchiyamada was eager to save face and cursed loudly:
"You little devil!!!"

After saying that, he was about to grab Liu Yuansheng with his other hand, but Liu Yuansheng didn't move, nor did he bother to even look at him. The palm that was holding his forearm suddenly exerted force, and then pulled it downward!
"Ah! Let go! It's going to break! It's going to break! Let go, little brat!"

The sharp howl made everyone feel terrified.

Uchiyamada felt that the hand was like a pair of pliers, squeezing his arm and almost breaking it! The piercing pain made his knees go weak.

Liu Yuansheng loosened his grip.

With a dull thud, Uchiyamada knelt on the ground, covering his forearm.

This miserable state doesn't even qualify him to be killed as a chicken to scare the monkeys...

Liu Yuansheng suddenly looked away with boredom, raised his head to look at the crowd below the stage, and slowly stood up:
"You guys were laughing earlier, so I was confused. Was what I said really funny?"

Uchiyamada was still kneeling in front of him and crying, and no one dared to offend him at this time.

Seeing that no one spoke, Liu Yuansheng was not embarrassed and continued to talk to himself.

"I don't think so. Because I think you are more ridiculous than what I said!"

Liu Yuansheng glanced around casually:
"They claim to be adults, but they can only cry helplessly in despair. They kneel on the ground and tremble, still praying for those illusory hopes."

"After escaping from danger and enjoying comfort, his true nature is immediately exposed!"

"What could be funnier than this?"

"You are smiling and enjoying the supplies provided by the Gaocheng family with a clear conscience, just like rice bugs, gnawing at the stability that all the guards have earned with their blood and sweat."

"How long are you going to play dumb?"

"The zombies haven't disappeared, it's just that iron gate has kept them out! They are growing in number in corners you can't see! So guess when they will break into this manor?"

The crowd was buzzing with conversation.

Liu Yuansheng ignored it.

"You mock me because you think you are braver than me?"

"You are disdainful because you think you are stronger than me?"

"You are just being stupid because you think you are stupid! I can tell you frankly. I killed Takagi Soichiro."

The audience was in an uproar.

"I killed him after I slaughtered nearly a hundred zombies."

Liu Yuansheng's calm tone seemed like he was narrating an ordinary matter.

"Some of you may scoff at this, but I don't mind."

"Scorn is the privilege of the incompetent and the barking of the arrogant. In my eyes, what's the difference between you in the audience and the trash under my feet?"
