Chapter 348 Processing
Will the ones who caused the most trouble stay?
All of the people present changed their expressions at once, and a storm of intense memories suddenly surged in their minds.
Did you speak too loudly just now?
Is my tone gentle to the guests dining here?
No one is forced to stay and join the team, right?
Three question marks in a row made me look blank and trembling with fear, not daring to look at anyone. It felt like the teacher was calling on me to ask questions in class.
When Chu Wanfu saw the expressions of the crowd, he couldn't help but hold his forehead.
From the end of the world to the present day, the original equality between men and women has changed to one based on strength, and respecting someone is also based on strength.
But people are not born into the apocalypse, and their current behavior is more or less influenced by the discrimination and injustice they experienced in peacetime.
Having great strength but lacking the corresponding rationality will cause some people to become self-centered and truly bully the weak and fear the strong.
What is more serious is that without corresponding agencies and units to restrain their behavior, these people will act even more recklessly, relying only on the self-discipline they have received from the education deep in their hearts.
But due to the extreme shortage of food and clean water, it wasn't long before the only thoughts left in my mind were: hunger, the need to eat, and the desire to live.
For all bases, whether private or official, the best way to control so many starving people is to provide them with food.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory shows that the lowest level of needs are just simple food, water, and air, followed by safety and a stable life, and above that are the needs of the three emotions, and then respect.
Chu Wanfu thought of this and looked around at the people with different expressions.
There is fear, there is retreat, and there is the fear of having learned a lesson, but there is no decadence caused by lack of food and drink.
If it were at the base, no one would bring up this matter of respect, and they might even find it ridiculous.
But this is a resort hotel, and everyone thinks it's normal to say, "You have to learn to respect."
It’s as if as soon as I stepped into the hotel door, the long-lost quality came back to me.
Xia Yan turned on the surveillance playback again.
The scene unfolded, and the familiar noisy sound was still coming from all directions, but this time everyone pricked up their ears and immediately found their own voice in the chaos. They looked listless and huddled behind others to hide.
But when they heard the next few voices, they straightened their chests again -
"This blonde girl is really fair and tender!"
"It would be best to trick her into joining our team. If nothing else, it's just for the eye candy."
"Well, if you want to have some unique ideas, you have to see if others like you."
After a few seconds, the voice lowered—
"You guys think the surveillance cameras in this store... should have blind spots, right?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Even if I join the team, I can only watch. It's better to touch this white and tender little hand now. It's worth it today~"
"...I dare not. Life is finally getting better, and I don't mind living a long life!"
"Look at you, you're such a coward! I'm sure you'll be fine. There are so many people here that the surveillance cameras can't even pick you up! Look at me, beautiful lady, what are you worried about? Our team is full of high-level psychics. The captain isn't here, and he's even higher level than me. Don't you believe it?"
Come on, let me shake your hand and feel it. Ah! How come there is still electricity in your hand?! My hand is black from the electricity! "
The blonde's voice: "Why are you touching my hand?! Get away!"
Xia Yan cut off the surveillance playback and looked at the customers who were shocked with a smile.
"Please, everyone, put your hands out."
!!!
How could that be!
Didn't you carefully observe it many times to make sure it was a blind spot?!
A small number of people took several steps back, unable to hide the panic on their faces.
The customers who stayed where they were were like frightened rabbits, looking back with a confused look on their faces.
"What's wrong?"
"What are you doing next?"
Xia Yan: "If it is determined to be malicious harassment and there is touching, the hand will be electrocuted. Now, please step forward if you are the one who made the mistake."
The system not only monitors physical behavior, but also monitors the level of maliciousness. Only when both exceed the standard will the store rules be triggered.
The customer at the front opened his hands and looked at them over and over again. Suddenly, a shadow appeared before his eyes. He looked up in surprise and said hurriedly, "Boss Xia, my hands are clean, there's nothing on them!"
Xia Yan looked at it and found that there were indeed no signs of being burned by electricity. "Well, let's go downstairs."
Seeing that he had passed the level so easily, the man was relieved and wanted to stay here to watch the fun, but Xia Yan waved his hand and directly teleported him to the lobby on the first floor.
She glanced casually at the crowd, too lazy to remind him again.
Good things should never be said twice.
Looking through the crowd one by one, those who voluntarily extended their hands were basically all ok, so they were teleported away.
Soon, a large number of people disappeared from the restaurant.
"Stretch out your hand." Xia Yan stopped and raised his eyelids to look at the man who was a head taller than him.
He had an eagle brooch on his chest, the surface of which had been deliberately worn away to reveal the yellowed copper inside.
He seems to be the captain of a team.
Behind him, in an inverted triangle, stood equally tall team members.
The corners of the man's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to smile to ease the atmosphere, but when he met Xia Yan's cold eyes, his mouth couldn't move.
"Boss Xia, didn't you just say we were looking for the one who caused the most trouble? We've always been friendly and have never raised any voices."
Xia Yan stretched out a finger and shook it, then uttered two words with a slight movement of his lips, "Find them all."
The man's face froze, his eyes quickly swept over Chu Wanfu who was not far behind her, beads of sweat oozed from the tip of his nose, and he forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Since we never cause trouble, please give us a chance, boss."
At this moment, his teammates behind him could no longer contain their excitement and nervousness. They stepped forward past the captain and said, "Boss Xia, we really didn't mean to harass him. He was trying to escape, so we went to catch him in a hurry—"
The man stopped it with both hands.
The next second, Xia Yan's eyes fell on his hand, which he then took back and put into his pocket.
But she saw it clearly in just this short second.
The four fingers except the thumb are gradually turning light black from the space between the fingers to the tips, especially the fingertips, which feel like touching coal.
His teammates also noticed it, and their faces were filled with frustration and regret, because they acted impulsively!
Amidst their extremely nervous mood, Xia Yan walked directly to the others with an expressionless face and said, "Stretch out your hands. If it's not serious, it's just a minor punishment. There's no need to hide it."
"Then..." The teammates wanted to struggle again, even though they knew it was futile.
Xia Yan is about to raise his hand——
The man gritted his teeth and said, "Stretch out your hand and show it to Boss Xia!"
Suddenly, five or six pairs of hands stretched out at the same time, but each fingernail was black and purple, as if it had been pinched by the door.
Like their captain, the darkest part is between the fingers and gradually transitions to lighter colors.
