Freeze the entire population, activate my Superman system?

Chapter 7 Reveals the Existence of the Lord

Considering the excessive energy consumption of the heating furnace, Ling Shuang dragged Zhang Mu back to dismantle the trees.

At the same time, the management office organized nearly 20 militiamen and veterans.

Because of this sudden crisis, they worked with the property management to thoroughly inspect every nook and cranny of the entire community.

But they gained nothing.

The next morning, the shrill emergency broadcast sounded again.

Guo Yueshan's voice was much hoarser than yesterday, he must have stayed up all night.

"All building managers are requested to immediately report any unusual situations that occurred during the night."

Ling Shuang and the other looked at the dark blue flames of the heating stove and exchanged a glance, but neither of them spoke.

I thought I could survive for a month.

The result was that their lives hung by a thread.

Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang.

The property manager, Xiao Chen, was trembling.

"Manager Ling, you guessed correctly, but two people died this time!"

Buildings 9 and 16 each have one owner...

Same as yesterday's 1502,

Frost covered his body, and he had already stiffened.

Then, Director Guo asked me to call you to a meeting at the Central Garden.

There are still over thirty people I need to notify, I have to go now!

Zhang Mu cursed angrily, pulled the kitchen knife from his waist, and glared at the dome.

"Fuck your bloody, stinky bastard!"

Where did that thing come from? Isn't the safe zone supposed to be protected?

For Zhang Mu,

Those who were killed were all once living, breathing neighbors!

Ling Shuang pushed open the courtyard door,

There are already people on the main road.

They came downstairs in twos and threes, gathered together, and their faces were full of fear.

"Guo Yueshan is probably targeting lords this time."

This meeting has a purpose.

Ling Shuang said, "He... will no longer hide information for us lords."

"Shall we go?"

"Of course we'll go. It would be foolish not to stick together at this time."

......

Nine o'clock in the morning, Longmao Mansion Garden in the center.

More than 500 people are crammed here, with basically one representative from each household.

Ling Shuang and Zhang Mu were pulled behind Guo Yueshan by the property management staff, and Wang Can was also there.

There were more than thirty other people together, most of whom were unfamiliar faces.

Guo Yueshan stood behind the makeshift long table, his face ashen.

Once everyone had arrived, he picked up the megaphone and spoke; his voice wasn't loud, but every word seemed to be nailed to the ground.

"Neighbors, three people have died in the last two days."

One on the first night, two on the second night.

At this rate, there could be four tonight and eight the day after.

Before long, all of the nearly one thousand people in our community will be dead.

The news was so shocking that the entire room fell silent, then erupted in chaos.

Guo Kuoshan's expression was serious as he roared,

"Everyone, quiet down!"

Aside from raising your hand to ask questions as normal, any further disturbances will result in being blacklisted and receiving no further assistance from the management office.

Seeing that the scene had quieted down, Guo Kuoshan continued,

"There is only one purpose for calling everyone here today."

Among us, some have activated an ability called the Winter Lord System.

It can also be said to be a gift from this world.

The management office only knows about the thirty-odd neighbors behind them, but there are definitely others hiding their identities.

All residents of Longmao Prefecture must share their lord status and any key information they possess today.

Whoever conceals the truth becomes the enemy of the entire community.

The management office will no longer provide any assistance and will blacklist the offender.

"Now, the first step is for those who haven't proactively reported their lord's information to come to the line behind me."

Most of the people present looked at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone has their own selfish motives.

However, they were unwilling to completely offend Guo Kuoshan.

Soon, about twenty people joined the lord's formation behind Guo Kuoshan, amidst the suspicious glances of their neighbors.

Of the approximately one thousand residents in the community, sixty are Winter Lords.

Guo Kuoshan glanced back at the lord's formation, then continued,

"Lords, please speak up as much as possible and share information that is also important to ordinary residents."

At this moment, a woman in a dark red down jacket raised her hand. "Director Guo, how can we guarantee that no lord will use false information to scam people?"

Guo Yueshan recognized her: "Ma Fang, what do you suggest we do?"

"Everything is recorded, including who provided what information."

"Okay." Guo Yueshan nodded. "Xiao Chen, you'll be the recorder."

Let me start.

He straightened his back.

"My name is Guo Yueshan, and the Lord System was activated yesterday."

My achievement task is only one: gather survivors.

For every five people recruited, you will be awarded 300 achievement points.

I've gathered five people from the management office and obtained 300 points, which I used up to unlock the heating furnace.

Ling Shuang and Zhang Mu exchanged a surprised glance.

For the same task, Guo Yueshan had to pay 1.5 times more to unlock the building than Zhang Mu!

Zhang Mu's heating stove

Only 200 achievement points!

Guo Kuoshan continued,

"The maximum power can cover a spherical area with a radius of ten meters, which is equivalent to three floors."

It can be burned with firewood or coal; no electricity is needed.

"How can we quickly get achievement points?" a lord asked eagerly, raising his hand.

Guo Yueshan felt his throat was getting hoarse.

He glanced at Shen Yuan beside him, and the young man with silver-rimmed glasses immediately understood.

Shen Yuan pushed up his glasses and stood up: "As Director Guo just said, gather the survivors."

For every five people gathered, 300 points are awarded.

In other words, once you find five people willing to join your territory, you can immediately unlock the heating furnace.

"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and arrange for us to stay near the lord's house!"

I've heard about it; more than ten people have died!

"What nonsense are you talking about? There are only three!"

"Wait," Ma Fang, from the crowd, spoke again, her voice sharp.

"If I join someone else's territory, will I lose my chance to become a lord?"

Shen Yuan was silent for two seconds: "The system has not given a clear explanation yet."

However, based on my speculation, your lordship status may be frozen once you join someone else's territory.

In other words, you can no longer establish your own territory.

These words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the previous enthusiastic atmosphere.

"Then why should I join someone else? Can't I just be my own lord?"

Guo Kuoshan suddenly felt a surge of violent emotion, but he forcefully suppressed it.

"The management office doesn't force anyone, but I want to make things clear."

That thing will most likely come again tonight.

Those who do not join the territory and do not have a heating stove will bear the consequences themselves.

As for what the other lords said, it was basically the same thing.

Occasionally, some lords would say they exchanged for a water purifier first, along with some strange little achievement quests.

Guo Kuoshan didn't expect to get any useful information this time. As long as he could get the heating boiler issue going, the purpose of today's meeting would be achieved.

When the lords fell silent, a brief silence descended upon the garden.

At this moment, a young man timidly raised his hand from among the ordinary people.

"Director Guo, my name is Jiang Xiaobei, from building 17."

I don't have a lord system. I'd like to join someone else's territory. Is that possible?

Guo Yueshan nodded: "Okay, the management office will register you after the meeting and arrange for you to go to a suitable lord."

"I want to join Brother Ling's territory." Jiang Xiaobei looked at Ling Shuang in the corner. "He's the one who saved me."

All eyes turned to them.

Ling Shuang remained expressionless and nodded slightly: "Okay."

Seeing Ling Shuang nod, Guo Yueshan tacitly accepted Jiang Xiaobei's choice.

Immediately, personnel were assigned to sort out the information.

Allocation should be prioritized according to the wishes of both parties.

If any familiar neighbors or friends are willing...

That would be best.

Neighbors without a lord to take them in, and lords without residents to join them.

The management office needs to make unified plans.

Many people want to join Ling Shuang's group.

But he politely declined them all for the time being.

Dr. Zhang just told him that they were planning to have Guo Kuoshan move some of the elderly, women, and children to the area next to their row houses.

The reasons given

One reason is that these people are probably not very popular.

Secondly, most of his achievement tasks are related to the medical field, and recruiting these relatively weak residents may trigger more of them.

Then Ling Shuang rolled her eyes at him.

What's wrong with helping the disadvantaged within your means?

Should I accuse him of being a saint?

Why bother with a second excuse?

Ling Shuang and Zhang Mu, who were waiting for the assignments to be completed, were suddenly pulled aside by Wang Can.

Wang Can was wearing a tight-fitting T-shirt as usual, his biceps making the sleeves bulge.

But the expression on his face was unusually serious.

"Xiao Ling, Xiao Zhang, I have something to tell you."

"Brother Wang, what's all this mystery about?"
