"Ugh!" Although Wei Jianguo and the others had mentally prepared themselves, they still couldn't help but vomit when they saw the room full of severed limbs.
Feeling disgusted, but unable to stop working, I could only tie a scarf around my mouth and nose and carry the severed limbs outside.
While carrying the unconscious, partially paralyzed people, they felt even more grateful that they had followed Gu Mingyue; otherwise, they would not have had Gu Mingyue leading them.
Their fate won't be much better than that of these half-humans.
The thought of themselves being strung on a wooden frame, having their limbs cut off and having their wounds healed by Pei Sheng, living a life worse than that of livestock, sent shivers down their spines.
Gu Mingyue was taking stock of the bald men's supplies when she received a notification from her spatial dimension that the loyalty of her newly recruited group had increased again.
Everyone's loyalty is now above 85 points, with Su Xiaoyu and Wei Jianguo's loyalty even rising to over 90 points, comparable to the loyalty of her pets.
Seeing that the corpses and dismembered limbs had been moved to the community square, and that the crowd was holding the heads of the bald men, they stood scattered around her waiting for the next instructions.
Gu Mingyue clapped her hands, gathering everyone together.
A total of 54 guns, 25 grenades, 61 stun batons, and a number of combat uniforms were found on the bald men.
"Everyone participated in the battle today, and everyone will be rewarded. The reward is based on the number of heads taken: one head for one gun, two batons, and one set of combat uniform."
Gu Mingyue stored the grenades in her spatial storage, and laid out all the other weapons in front of everyone for them to choose from.
Even Guan Yue, the youngest with a dog-chewed hairstyle, killed an ordinary person with a makeshift flamethrower, despite having his father's assistance.
However, Gu Mingyue turned a blind eye and only looked at the result.
The little girl happily received a small handgun. She pressed the trigger, and a crackling sound of electricity rang out. Her face immediately lit up with even more excitement, making her look nothing like a seven-year-old girl.
Ji Fangru woke up her husband and brought him to Gu Mingyue's side: "Boss, my husband is an earth-type ability user. Although he's not very useful, he's tough and resilient. After you saved him, he wants to work for you just like me."
"You don't need to provide us with food and drink, just let us stay with you. We'll be loyal and hardworking."
Ji Fangru's eyes lit up. She had read a lot of novels, and a capable woman like Gu Mingyue was like a heroine in a novel, someone who would surely survive to the end. She couldn't miss this opportunity to latch onto her.
Gu Mingyue took a closer look at the two of them.
Yang Zhong had just escaped from the cannibalistic den. His legs were still weak, and he was thin and bony with prominent cheekbones, clearly having suffered a lot inside.
The experiences of these past few days have left an indelible shadow on his heart. Unlike Ji Fangru, who was cheerful and carefree, he had dark circles under his eyes and a pale, weak face.
But he was a man who could see the situation clearly. He knew that Gu Mingyue had saved him, so he bowed deeply to her.
"Thank you for saving me. Any words of loyalty I say now would be empty rhetoric. Just look at my performance. Even if you don't take me in the future, I will do everything in my power to repay your kindness."
"Alright, you can continue to live with Ji Fangru at Junyue Mansion. But let me make this clear: if you ever try to betray me, I will personally take your lives and extract your crystal cores."
Gu Mingyue spoke softly, but her words were cold.
"Including you, it's the same for everyone. From now on, Junyue Mansion will be our first base, named Mingyue Base. Xinghe, take out the base regulations for everyone to see." Gu Mingyue looked at Xinghe behind her.
Xinghe took out a stack of papers from his spatial storage, which were filled with base rules and regulations. Most of them were pre-apocalyptic laws, but the punishments were more severe.
Except for Yang Zhong, who was still in the probationary period, everyone else received a copy.
Gu Mingyue observed everyone's expressions and said coldly, "Now, who doesn't want to join the Mingyue Base? I'm only giving you one chance. If you try to leave again in the future, it will be considered a betrayal of the Base, and you will be executed."
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, two of them changed their expressions slightly. "We still want to go to Hope Base."
Gu Mingyue didn't make things difficult for the two of them. She told them to pack their things and leave immediately, and then asked the rest of the people if they wanted to leave.
Everyone firmly stated that they would never leave.
They're not stupid; it's the age of superhumans now. When the previous rescue team came, they were very welcoming to the superhumans.
They would excitedly try to persuade anyone they met to come along, but they lacked patience with ordinary people and would get annoyed after a few words.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone back to pack their supplies and consider whether to leave.
But Gu Mingyue was different; she truly didn't have that prejudice.
She treated everyone the same, whether they were superhumans or ordinary people. She didn't even treat children like children, and gave them all weapons to use. This strangely gave them a sense of security.
"Okay, I hope you can always keep this original aspiration and actively participate in the construction of the base. Wei Jianguo, I heard that you are a veteran. I hope you will take care of these people from now on. I hope you will not let me down."
Upon hearing Gu Mingyue's order, Wei Jianguo immediately stood up straight and replied earnestly, "Yes."
After retiring from the army, he had no worries about food and drink, but he always felt that something was missing in his leisurely life. Now that Gu Mingyue had appointed him as the manager, he suddenly felt that life had more hope.
He immediately led the others to move the bald men's corpses out of the Junyue Mansion base and clean up the battlefield, without letting Gu Mingyue worry about anything.
Wang Jie and Li Min were left unattended in the center of the community square, bound and gagged. When they opened their eyes, they saw a group of half-human figures with missing limbs staring at them with resentful eyes.
He was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
"Get up and get to work as soon as you wake up." Ji Fangru and Yang Zhong were carrying the group of half-humans out of the base.
Without exception, all of these half-humans had their limbs severed. The group of savage demons seemed to be afraid that they would have a chance to escape, so they left them no limbs at all.
Without the ability to work, one is a useless person. In the apocalypse, even healthy people may not survive. Who can protect them now?
Gu Mingyue very humanely stuck a dagger outside the community, so anyone who wanted to come would just slit their own throat.
"Where are you taking them?" Wang Jie asked, his eyes glazed over as he mechanically carried the severed body.
Yang Zhong didn't say anything, but simply led Wang Jie and Li Min outside the residential area.
Seeing the group of half-humans shuffling their bodies and slitting their necks to the blades, Wang Jie suddenly felt a dull ache in his head.
These days, they've been locked up opposite this group of half-humans, hearing their agonizing screams every day, and developing a deep sympathy for their plight. The sandstorm outside is fierce, but it can't hide their conscience.
