Of course, there are exceptions when there are many people. A so-called "human rights organization" was even born in the base, and its leader advocated the elimination of classes and equality for all.
"They're just using these criminals as a pretext to get ahead in their own careers," Li Duo bluntly stated, revealing the truth.
However, it is clear that these people have not experienced Fang Zhiyi's methods.
But to everyone's surprise, Fang Zhiyi did not take direct action against these people this time.
"After all, we have more people now, and I still have to save face, okay?" Fang Zhiyi said, then turned around and ordered someone to increase the penalties for the criminals.
The already exhausted criminals were in an uproar when they heard that they would have to work an extra four hours because of a group of people protesting.
Just as someone was about to question it, a guard knocked out their front tooth.
All his resentment was directed at those clueless protesters.
Seeing that Fang Zhiyi and the others had no reaction, Wang Qian, the leader of the protest organization, gradually became smug. She had been through so much in the apocalypse and always managed to get exactly what she wanted.
She became even more brazen in seeking out people to spread her ideas, and even began to declare that she would run for the position of base manager.
The balance of power in the base was suddenly disrupted, and countless people began to observe.
Except for the earliest group of residents who watched with amusement.
Fang Zhiyi still did not respond or stop their actions. As more and more people dissatisfied with Fang Zhiyi's dictatorial behavior joined their ranks, some felt that they should not be farming, some felt that they were given too little food, and others had been reprimanded by the guards for disobeying orders.
As the procession grew larger, everyone was filled with joy, as if a bright future awaited them.
They didn't believe Fang Zhiyi would dare to attack so many people. What's that saying? "The law doesn't punish the masses," especially since there's practically no such thing as law anymore.
"Demand autonomy!"
"Distribute equally!"
"Free the slaves! All humans are equal! No one should be enslaved!"
"Criminals are human beings too! Why not give them a chance to reform?"
The base has now expanded from what was once a village downwards, resembling a small town built around the mountain.
These slogans echoed constantly over the base.
An old man found Fang Zhiyi. Fang Zhiyi remembered that the old man was very healthy and had followed them all the way here. He was also very enthusiastic during the first planting. Even on days when food was scarce, the old man shared his rations with other neighbors many times. Everyone had a very good impression of this elder.
"Xiao Fang, is it okay if I call you that?"
Fang Zhiyi smiled and nodded: "Uncle Liao, please speak."
“We can’t let them keep making a scene like this,” Grandpa Liao said bluntly. “Now that everyone has finally seen some hope and the vegetables in the fields are starting to sprout, their commotion is distracting many young people from their daily lives. As the person in charge, you have to stand up and say something.”
Fang Zhiyi nodded: "Yes, but we're not like before now. There are more people now, so I can't be too dictatorial, can I?"
