My Post-Apocalyptic Territory

The events unfolded so suddenly that many survivors felt the shelter had no choice but to compromise.

The next moment, they saw that one of the awakened individuals who wanted to negotiate with the shelter was dead, and the rest had scattered and fled.

died?

They were shocked and didn't even see what was happening on the field.

Just when they thought the shelter would press their advantage and eliminate the group that was threatening the shelter, Luo Tiemian sheathed his heavy sword and stood behind Director Tang again.

They were somewhat puzzled.

Indeed, they were just ordinary survivors, always at the bottom of society no matter where they went. But they weren't stupid. Since the shelter had already taken action and harbored hatred, there was no reason for them to let the rest go.

The thought had just occurred to me.

The survivors saw that the few Awakened Ones who had tried to escape had been driven back in a sorry state.

These awakened individuals were already ragged, some even severely injured, coughing up blood as they struggled to stay upright.

Behind each awakened one, there is a round puppet following closely.

Some sharp-eyed survivors also noticed that blood was dripping from the longsword in the puppet's hand.

They were very familiar with these puppets. Weren't these puppets the ones who usually cut rocks into pieces and then had them carry them?

Although I always thought the weapons in the hands of these puppets were very sharp, no one ever imagined that these puppets were actually this strong.

Judging from the situation, those few Awakened Ones who escaped were no match for the puppet.

It's only been a short time, and each Awakened One only faced one puppet, yet they were defeated in such a short time. But there are many more puppets like this in the Sanctuary.

No wonder the shelter didn't care about these people's threats.

There are skilled fighters like Captain Luo the Iron-Faced, and if there are too many mutated beasts and Captain Luo is overwhelmed, there are still these puppets.

They were indeed too young. Anyone who can establish a shelter is no simpleton.

The survivors watched this farce and couldn't help but swallow hard.

They were afraid, but no one felt the shelter was cruel. Some even thought these awakened people deserved it, wasting food while alive.

The awakened individuals who were brought back stared at Tang Yu with hatred in their eyes.

The bearded Awakened One roared, "Come on! Kill me! A dilapidated shelter with only a few Awakened Ones is doomed to be wiped out by the demonic beasts. I've seen plenty of shelters like this. Haha, I'll be waiting for you down there!"

He laughed maniacally, as if he had finally found a way to vent his anger.

Some awakened individuals wept bitterly, begging the shelter to let them go.

Tang Yu remained expressionless and waved to Chen Haiping, "Continue with the registration. Um, anyone who wants to join the patrol team, apply to Luo Zhe."

The bearded man was still roaring, "Patrol? Ha! You think the other Awakened will risk their lives for you?!"

He was certain of himself.

Other awakened individuals, though not on their side, could join the patrol team, obey the shelter's orders, and risk their lives for the shelter... Who else, besides Peng Bo who was secretly recruited, would join in?

impossible!

Suddenly a voice came from the side, "No Awakened Ones have joined? Ridiculous! Can you represent all Awakened Ones? Besides, I am a noble Natural Awakened One!"

The bearded man took a closer look and saw that it was a young man. He vaguely remembered this person; he was indeed one of the awakened ones in the shelter. However, after getting to know him a little, he realized that this person was not one of them, so he didn't know much about him.

Unexpectedly, he stepped forward.

The notice clearly stated that joining the patrol team meant going out to face the mutated beasts and obeying orders. The commander was the terrifying Luo Tiemian, and disobeying orders was out of the question, so they had no choice but to comply. They would have to face the mutated beasts and might even be on the front lines, facing mortal danger.

So, you still want to join the patrol team?

Is he stupid or not?

Not only Lu Xiaopeng, but also several other survivors stepped forward and applied to join the patrol team, under the incredulous gaze of the bearded man.

Not only the awakened, but also ordinary survivors.

The man with the bushy beard couldn't understand it.

Lu Xiaopeng cursed, "Someone like you can't possibly understand how powerful Director Tang and Captain Luo are. Demonic beasts? What are they! Only a trashy Awakener like you would be afraid of them. Sigh, forget it, you're so pathetic, you probably wouldn't understand anyway, so I won't waste my breath."

Bearded man: "..."

His face had turned as black as charcoal.

He hadn't offended this person, had he? But the other party was spitting foam all over his face. He couldn't dodge it, and he didn't dare to fight back. There were also mining puppets watching him from behind. His face was already black and white.

After many twists and turns, the emotions of these ordinary survivors also fluctuated. But once things calmed down, their confidence in the shelter increased by several percentage points.

The survivors who originally belonged to these awakened individuals were now trembling with fear. Their leader had died in the blink of an eye. What could they do? They were filled with despair and regret.

This was Tang Yu's purpose: to eliminate those with ulterior motives and, incidentally, to squeeze out their last remaining value.

That would be perfect.

Of course, he knew that turning the territory into a true sanctuary and making the survivors truly feel a sense of belonging to the sanctuary was still a long way off, but there was no rush, anyway... there was plenty of time.

Without any troublesome awakened individuals, the registration process went smoothly. Most survivors apparently chose to become permanent residents of the shelter. A few did not join either because they did not trust the shelter enough or because they could not stand the constraints. But at least these people obediently signed their names, ages, and other basic information on the registration form.

They were genuinely terrified.

Once registration is complete, jobs will be reassigned.

In addition to the previous transport teams, there are now construction teams and planting teams with the fewest members.

Regardless of which team you're in, benefits will increase, but food will still be allocated based on work performance.

There is still a slight shortage of management personnel. Tang Yu plans to group these survivors into groups of three to four people each, and when calculating performance, they will be counted as whole rentals.

The groups were not randomly assigned, but rather based on the past performance of these survivors: those who worked hard were grouped together, and those who were lazy were grouped together.

Just like the ordinary survivors who followed Ding Qiang and the others before.

Ding Qiang and his ilk were used as a warning to others, but there was no need to waste these ordinary survivors. Tang Yu divided them into two or three groups as punishment, and reduced their benefits considerably. Unless they worked hard and desperately, they could forget about filling their stomachs. As for whether these people would slack off, as long as they didn't want to go hungry, they could only supervise each other and fight like dogs.

there.

Chen Haiping was calling over a few trustworthy survivors to assign tasks to the others.

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble slightly.

Chen Haiping's expression changed.

He had felt this familiar feeling just a few days ago.

Tang Yu spoke up, "Let the survivors return to the city walls."

Many survivors didn't realize what was happening and were completely baffled as to why they were being forced to return to the city walls.

The tremors grew stronger, the rubble on the ground began to shake, and a rumbling sound came from afar.

The sound was like thunder, never ceasing.

Many survivors turned pale as they saw countless figures appearing in the distance at the edge of their field of vision.

These figures were bizarre in appearance and varied in size; some were even flying in the air. But without exception, these monsters were all rushing straight towards the shelter.

"It's a demonic tide—"

The Demon Tide is absolutely the most terrifying term in the apocalypse; countless shelters have been destroyed by it.

Many survivors had only heard about the demonic tide and had never seen it with their own eyes. Now, facing the surging horde of demonic beasts, they finally understood how insignificant humanity was in the face of such a terrifying disaster!

The once despairing, ashen-faced Awakened One, now radiating despair, watched the approaching demonic tide with a triumphant smile. "Ha, ha, your sanctuary, I didn't expect it would be destroyed so soon!"

He knew he wouldn't survive, but it didn't matter. Seeing the others turn pale filled him with a sense of satisfaction.

I'm not even afraid of death anymore!

For the first time, the bearded man realized how brave he was. He looked up, wanting to see Tang Yu's expression. He saw Tang Yu looking calm, with a hint of pleasure in his calmness. Tang Yu also turned his head to look at him, a subtle smile playing on his lips.

"Ha, you know nothing of power."
