Seeing the expectant looks in the eyes of the remaining people, Xu Xing remained expressionless and said calmly:
"We have enough people. The rest of you can choose to stay here or go out and wander."
Upon hearing Xu Xing's words, those who had previously disagreed all changed their expressions and became tense.
Many of them quickly squeezed over to ask, "This... we didn't hear it just now. We wanted to join your faction. It was my oversight."
“Oh, but we have enough people, we don’t need any more.” Xu Xing waved his hand at them.
Xu Xing had long anticipated this outcome; he would not accept any of these unstable elements.
Actually, he was quite satisfied with the result. Xu Xing observed that among those who chose to follow him, he did not find any of the old members of the Qingjing Gang, which saved him the trouble of digging them out one by one in the future.
It was mainly thanks to the Qiangsheng Group's targeting of that group. It's estimated that they initially also had the idea of forcibly occupying people, but they were outmaneuvered by Xu Xing.
The few remaining survivors are the most astute among them, all waiting for Xu Xing to increase his stakes.
They were completely taken aback by the fact that the other party didn't play by the rules.
Seeing that Xu Xing still refused, these people became even more obsequious and directly stated:
"Please take us in. We do have some fighting skills, and they'll definitely be useful in the future."
This group of people were practically begging Xu Xing to come.
If you count them carefully, those who hadn't expressed their opinions before only accounted for a small portion. There were only five or six old members, and another ten or so were the so-called unstable elements.
Their obsequious behavior stems from a lack of confidence in their own strength.
Previously, the Qingjing Gang had over a hundred members, along with so many superhumans, and Yang Hao's personal martial arts skills, which was enough to barely hold this place.
Once Xu Xing takes the rest of the people away, the remaining few will either be overrun by zombies or killed by the returning Qiangsheng Group within three days.
Qiangsheng Group, having suffered this loss, will shorten its actions, but will certainly seek revenge when the opportunity arises, and will hold the Qingjing Gang accountable.
In the future, the Qingjing Gang will only have a dozen or so members left. They won't even be able to surrender, and they will most likely be tortured to death.
There is one last way: to escape. But this path is even more dangerous.
Qiangsheng Group can still gamble on them; once bitten, twice shy, they won't come out anytime soon.
But if these 10 or 20 people were to go out and wander around, not only would the supplies have already been divided up by the major powers, but even finding a place to stay would not be easy.
There were nearly twenty of them, all strong and powerful men. Smaller factions wouldn't dare accept them, fearing they would usurp their authority.
So this time they were determined that even if they had to be treated like slaves, they would join Xu Xing's ranks.
If once doesn't work, then try again. The shrewdest middle-aged man at the beginning, with a bit of a beard on his chin, actually knelt down on the ground, pleading with utmost sincerity:
“Boss, if you take me in, from now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west; if you tell me to beat a dog, I will never chase a chicken. My old life, Ma Fan, is in your hands.”
Xu Xing was truly amazed today. If you don't count his age before his rebirth, he was only in his early twenties.
Looking at the person kneeling on the ground in front of him, who was at least twice his age, he realized that the person was quite talented to be so obsequious to a "junior." This reminded him of a saying.
"Being born into poverty is not a disgrace; true men are those who can bend and stretch!"
Unfortunately, this person chose the wrong time and the wrong side. This middle-aged man with a thick beard is the last remaining superhuman among the old members of the Qingjing Gang.
Moreover, he is a level two superhuman.
This guy doesn't have any other skills, but he's number one at running away. The fact that he emerged unscathed from this battle shows just how cunning he is.
Xu Xing said bluntly, "I'll say it again, I don't need any more people. You can stay here if you want, or go wherever you want. I won't interfere with you. But don't even think about joining me."
Xu Xing's bucket of cold water was suddenly poured over his head. Ma Fan's body stiffened a little. He laughed awkwardly twice, then stood up and silently retreated to the back.
The others were also sensible and didn't dare to provoke Xu Xing again.
Xu Xing sneered inwardly. It seemed like he had given them a choice, but in reality, he had already decided their fate.
It's alright if they're not long-time members, but those who were previously remembered in the lobby, whether they joined or not, might also end up "disappearing" somewhere.
As for the twenty or so people now, once the ordinary people they just took in are moved away, they will immediately turn around and deal with them.
The act of cleaning up here implicitly acknowledges their deaths.
"Better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free" has always been Xu Xing's guiding principle.
What if these people eventually grow into a powerful force? Wouldn't that mean I'd have gained an enemy for no reason? Or what if these people actually turn around and join the Qiangsheng Group, and that group accepts them?
That would be an even bigger problem, since everyone knows that Xu Xing comes from the villa area.
Xu Xing thought about it and decided to act sooner rather than later, ideally as soon as the two sides separated, which would save as much time as possible.
Xu Xing addressed the crowd below again, saying, "Those who just decided to join us, please stand on the right."
Whoosh whoosh~
The vast majority of people moved, including one late-stage Level 1 ability user, who was the only one of the two remaining.
Before they had even finished assembling, Xu Xing noticed something was wrong.
How can anyone dare to take advantage of him like this?
Without saying a word, Xu Xing grabbed two of the people who were trying to take advantage of the situation and followed him, and threw them behind him.
"I hope there won't be a next time," Xu Xing snorted.
Seeing that those who chose to follow and those who did not had formed two clearly distinct battle lines, Xu Xing then asked another very important question:
"Does any of you know where the Qingjing Gang has placed various supplies? If you can lead me there and successfully find them, it will be a great achievement and I will receive 50 contribution points."
Regarding contribution points, someone will explain it to you later. Just remember, these things will allow you to live a comfortable life for a long time.
Seeing the longing in their eyes and seeing that they hadn't moved an inch, Xu Xing finally realized that they knew nothing about these things.
Perhaps the Qingjing Gang was too secretive, preventing ordinary people from having contact with them.
Xu Xing then looked at the people he had just abandoned, and was about to ask them questions when suddenly that figure popped into his mind again.
I'd completely forgotten about that.
The second-in-command of the Qingjing Gang is still alive. Apart from Yang Hao, no one in the entire Qingjing Gang knows this place better than him.
