Chapter 616 Threat
After I said that, the people in front of me didn't seem to understand what I meant.
I continued, "I know you don't understand what I'm saying, so let me explain. My point is simple: starting today, I will be conducting a series of tests and training sessions for you. If you fail these training sessions, then I'm sorry, you'd better get out of here. This office building doesn't welcome useless people."
"Of course, failing the training doesn't necessarily mean you'll be kicked out. You still have a chance to survive. As long as you can survive outside for three days and find food and a place to live on your own, I'll consider you qualified and let you join the office building."
The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What if they can't come back?" someone suddenly asked.
I laughed. "Are you a pig? If you can't come back, then you're as good as dead. Since you're already dead, why would you come back?"
I stared at them, my eyes turning completely cold, and said, "I'll say it again, starting today, you will be receiving my training. Those who fail, get out! Understand?"
There was a lot of noise and whispering below, and basically no one answered my question.
I squinted at them, stared at them, and fired a shot directly into the ceiling.
Bang!
The gunshot instantly drew everyone's attention, and some people shrank back, seemingly terrified of the sound.
I pointed my gun at them and asked, "Did you understand what I just said?"
They remained silent, instead taking a few steps back, seemingly afraid I would shoot.
"Answer me!" I yelled, instantly startling them.
"I understand," someone suddenly said.
"Understood……"
Then, more and more people started saying those three words. I looked at them and asked, "I can't hear you, so speak louder!"
"Understood!" they all said this time, not in unison, but in agreement.
I then asked, "Say it to me again, do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Driven by fear, they began to obey my commands. It was an instinctive obedience, or perhaps a fear of me.
I stared at them and said with a smile, "It's still morning. Since training starts today, the first task is very simple: run the stairs from the first floor to the tenth floor, and then back and forth twenty times. I don't care what method you use, you must complete twenty laps. If you don't finish, you can forget about lunch and dinner today, understand?"
After I said that, some people started to object, saying, "You're crazy, I won't listen to you!"
Bang!
I fired again, which startled the man and made him flinch.
I said, "Anyone who dares to object again, or who tries to quit, I will kill them. Don't think I can't do it. I killed Liu Tian, so what's a little more to you?"
Upon hearing my words, their expressions changed drastically. The more timid ones even ran straight to the stairs to begin today's training. Once someone took the lead, others followed suit. In an instant, most of the people started running up the stairs, leaving only four or five people who hadn't gone. Wang Yufei was among them.
I stared at them and asked, "What, you don't want to run?"
One of them looked at me and sneered, "I don't believe you would kill someone! If you really did, you'd definitely suffer the consequences too."
Bang!
After he finished speaking, I shot him directly in the head, and he instantly fell to the ground and died.
The remaining people around were horrified by what they saw, including Wang Yufei, who stared at the corpse on the ground in disbelief.
I said, "Who else wants to object? Stand up and I'll give them a quick answer."
People are afraid of death, especially when faced with the threat of death, they will always compromise.
Wang Yufei was no exception; he didn't want to die either. Under my constant threats, the remaining people also went up the stairs.
Only Hu Fei, Shen Lin, and I remained.
I turned to look at Chen Lin and found that his face was filled with terror, his eyes fixed on the corpse on the ground, completely at a loss as to what to do.
I walked up to him and blocked his view.
Shen Lin looked up at me and subconsciously took two steps back.
I asked with a smile, "Am I that scary?"
Shen Lin swallowed hard. "Why...why did you kill him?"
"What do you think? I've already made myself very clear."
Shen Lin still couldn't accept it, "But, but he didn't do anything wrong, how can you kill someone like this!"
I said, "You think I can't just kill people randomly? Then tell me what I should do?"
Shen Lin said, "You, even if you injure him, it doesn't matter. There's no need to kill him outright, is there?"
I said, "Really? But do you know what would happen if I just injured him?"
Shen Lin looked at me, puzzled. "What kind of thing?"
I said, “Everyone will fight back. If I only injure him, they will think I don’t dare to kill, so they will become even more reckless, and everyone may die. But if I kill one person and everyone obeys, why not? Shen Lin, if you want to live, you’d better obey, otherwise you will lose your life without me lifting a finger.”
Shen Lin didn't understand what I was talking about at all, so he turned around and left. He probably thought I was crazy.
Hu Fei watched his retreating figure, sighed, and said, "Why are all these people so naive?"
I said, "Didn't Fan Xian say before that they've basically never gone out since the zombie outbreak? How could they understand the situation outside if they lived like that? Actually, if they didn't have guns, I reckon those people in the elementary school could have easily killed them."
Hu Fei looked at me. "So? What are you planning to do? Are you going to go back to the elementary school?"
I said, "Let's find out the situation first. I'm already in Liu Tian's position, and we don't know if the incident at the primary school was Liu Tian's unauthorized action. So let's clarify that first. If no one else knows about the incident at the primary school, then this matter will be much easier to handle. But if Zhu Zhenhao sent Liu Tian to the primary school, then this matter will be a huge problem."
Hu Fei said, "Is that boss called Zhu Zhenhao?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong? Do you know him?"
Hu Fei shook his head: "I don't know him."
Actually, there weren't many people in the office building, and with their abilities, Hu Fei and I could easily take them all down.
If in the end there's really no other way, then just kill them all.
