Zhan Siyu arrived at the conference room and sat down at the conference table. He kept thinking about how the Lost King in his previous life had become what it was. Could it have evolved into that form by eating a crystal core? Or was it a special being from the start?

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't quite understand it. However, if he could have met that zombie king earlier in this life, he would have acted swiftly and decisively, giving him no chance to grow. Otherwise, he might have ended up like he did in the previous life.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the conference room. Zhan Siyu's thoughts were pulled back and he said coldly, "Come in."

As the conference room door opened, more than a dozen people entered one after another; they were all Zhan Siyu's subordinates and brothers.

"Is everyone here?"

"Boss, everyone's here."

"Well, what I'm about to say is very important. If anyone doesn't believe me, they can leave. I'll give you a generous amount of supplies. But those of you who will be working with me from now on will have to carry out my orders from today onwards. If I find any traitors, I will make sure they die a horrible death."

As soon as Zhan Si finished speaking, he activated his lightning-type supernatural power with his right hand and set the extra chair next to him on fire, leaving everyone else in the conference room dumbfounded.

Bei Minghao swallowed hard and asked timidly, "Boss, is this some kind of legendary superpower?"

"Well, I've activated my apocalyptic abilities ahead of time. You guys will also activate your abilities one after another, but you'll need a medium. This mutation process might make you stronger, or it might turn you directly into a zombie. So take advantage of the time you have now and think carefully about whether you want to take a gamble. If you don't gamble, you'll be stuck being an ordinary person for the rest of your life."

Zhan Siyu left his words at that, thinking that when the blood rain came this time, he must keep a close eye on everyone. In his previous life, many people either turned into zombies or were bitten to death by zombies without knowing the situation. This time, he would never let that happen again.

When the other brothers in the conference room heard the boss's answer, they fell into deep thought. If they didn't gamble, they would be ordinary people all their lives. If they won the bet, they would become people with super powers. The worst ending would be death. They were all men of blood and would never live in disgrace. Even if they didn't die, the world of ordinary people would definitely not be easy in the future. Everyone knows that the strong are respected, and without strength, they will only live to carry other people's shoes.

Zhan Siyu quietly looked at his brothers present. He only remembered that a few of them later developed superpowers, while the others died when they mutated into zombies. So he was thinking about how to isolate this group of people.

If you are not careful, you will suffer heavy losses.

"Have you thought about it?"

Bei Minghao was the first to stand up and said, "Boss, I'm going to activate my superpower. If I fail and turn into a zombie, please give me a quick death."

"Yes, that's what we think too. It's the apocalypse, and social order will collapse soon. At that time, the world will only judge survival by strength. We don't want to be weak. Rather than living an ordinary life, we might as well take a gamble."

"Yes, so are we."

Seeing their eager responses, Zhan Siyu continued, "It's easy for single people to talk, but those with families should discuss it further. Anyone can activate their superpowers, but at the same time, you will lose your loved ones at any time. You should know that zombies can only be killed by cutting off their heads. So, tell me, can you bring yourself to do it?"

If you are afraid of losing, then there is no need to take risks. However, it will be difficult for people who cannot protect themselves to survive after the end of the world. You also know that I have asked people to stockpile a lot of supplies, but these are far from enough. Now in the hot weather, many factories have stopped operating, which means that there will be no new goods output.

Moreover, as the weather gets hotter, the land will no longer grow any grains or vegetables, so grains will become a necessity that we must stockpile. After the production of medicines stops, there will be no new products produced, and water resources will soon become scarce.

Would you feel comfortable if the supplies we've worked so hard to stockpile were given to people who can't survive on their own?

Don't talk to me about family ties. When faced with death, humans can be ruthless and disregard even their closest relatives. So, now, I'm giving you a chance. Everyone in the base must make a choice: either become a superpowered individual or be sent out of the base. Here, only children under 12 and seniors over 60 can receive basic daily necessities for free. Otherwise, no one will receive them.

Remember, food, drink and other daily necessities have now become consumables. Use less of them. Giving them to people who are unable to survive is equivalent to eating up everyone's food rations.

I will provide a unified response tomorrow. Meeting adjourned.

Zhan Siyu has never said such nonsense before, but he has to say it in the current situation. He must explain things clearly, otherwise it will be very troublesome later. It is better to solve it once and for all. Anyway, he will not leave any idle people here. After experiencing the end of the world, he is not the Holy Father.

When the meeting ended, the others looked at each other. The single men weren't too bothered, but those with families were a different story. They hadn't expected the leader to issue such a notice, which meant that the base wouldn't keep useless people. The elderly and children were given a chance to survive, which was already very kind.

After everyone else had left, Zhan Si saw that only Bei Minghao and Situ Mo remained. He looked at them and asked, "Why aren't you two leaving? Do you have other plans?"

"Boss, we'll listen to you. We'll do whatever you choose. So what if we die? We're not afraid. Besides, we're both single and don't have that many burdens or responsibilities. We're just worried that those with families might have objections."

"Don't worry about it. Just send anyone who doesn't obey orders away. And where's the key to the underground warehouse?"

Bei Minghao took out the key and handed it to Zhan Siyu, saying, "Boss, time is too tight. We haven't been able to acquire all the supplies yet. It's just too hot and many shops have closed. What should we do next?"

"No need to rush. This heat wave will last at least half a year. Situ Mo, come out with me tonight. Since it's the apocalypse, some things can only be obtained through one's own abilities."

"Boss, it's not what I'm thinking, is it?"

"Just like you think, it's better to strike first. The sooner we get the goods, the more at ease we'll feel. Of course, after the high temperatures drop, we'll still need to go to other cities to collect them. Beijing's supplies are limited, not even enough for our own consumption."

"Alright, let's do it. We'll experience what it's like to be robbers."

At this moment, Situ Mo, who was not fond of talking, spoke up: "Boss, should we bring all the weapons over there?"

"Yes, I'll make the arrangements."

Zhan Siyu looked at his two best brothers in front of him, thinking that they had never betrayed him until his death in his previous life, so he wanted to tell them about the space, so that it would be more convenient to collect supplies in the future. After all, they had been tested in his previous life and could be trusted.
