I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

"This is going to be interesting."

Wang Wei watched Zhao Lie's departing figure, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Since Zhao Lie was in such a hurry to take action against the Alliance and the Divine Alliance, he was happy to give them a hand.

The more lively the atmosphere, the better the show.

Zhao Lie's strength is far ahead of others; no one in the Alliance or the Divine Alliance can stop him at this stage.

Wang Wei suddenly thought of something.

The people in the alliance are now pinning their hopes on the elite.

Under normal circumstances, including in conventional warfare, there is no problem with doing this.

Objectively speaking, those people are capable of making greater contributions.

But this is a catastrophe.

The elite are, after all, only a very small minority.

The same is true in the Dragon Kingdom, and even more so!

In the Dragon Kingdom, the vast majority of people are like him and Zhao Lie, lowly laborers.

The problem is that when superpowers are awakened, one doesn't care about one's identity or wealth.

A larger number of cattle and horses means a greater probability of awakening higher-level superpowers.

Unfortunately, those in the Alliance and the Divine Alliance overlooked this point.

......

Nearby, Su Wan and Liu Yanni had prepared dinner: three dishes and a soup, all delicious and visually appealing.

Wang Wei sat down and glanced at Su Wan: "Eat less."

"Huh?" Su Wan stopped picking up food with her chopsticks.

Liu Yanni also looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"I'm afraid you'll have trouble holding on for a while," Wang Wei said calmly.

Su Wan froze for a second, her cheeks instantly turning red.

"Pfft," Liu Yanni burst out laughing.

Su Wan was filled with shame and reached out to pull Liu Yanni.

"Wang Wei is right," Liu Yanni said, clearly not intending to let Su Wan off the hook. "You might really eat too much later."

"Sister Liu..." Su Wan wished she could hide under the table.

Looking at the helpless Su Wan, Liu Yanni felt relieved.

Clearly, Liu Yanni did it on purpose.

Who told Su Wan to tease her during the day? Women hold grudges.

Wang Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two of them playfully fighting.

The two of them had been gloomy all day, but they finally recovered.

Wang Wei continued eating calmly.

Su Wan put down her chopsticks and stopped eating.

I wonder if I'm genuinely afraid I won't be able to hold on much longer...

After finishing his meal, Wang Wei went into the bedroom first.

With Liu Yanni pushing her, Su Wan blushed and was pushed inside.

Wang Wei smiled as he looked at the gloating Liu Yanni and the somewhat flustered Su Wan.

It's necessary to show them their true strength.

Wang Wei planned to feed them both.

In these apocalyptic times, people are already grateful to have anything to eat.

It's a blessing that they can eat their fill.

.......

Meanwhile, Zhao Lie, having been humiliated by Wang Wei, angrily returned to Fatty Li's villa.

Strictly speaking, it is now Zhao Lie's villa.

Inside the villa lobby,

"Zhao Shen, you're back."

Fatty Li was also flexible and adaptable; he greeted Zhao Lie with a smile as soon as he returned.

However, this time his smile was met with a cold shoulder.

Just as Zhao Lie was looking for a place to vent his anger, Fatty Li bumped into him.

"I need people right now," Zhao Lie said coldly. "Now that you've awakened your superpowers, you'll be following me from now on."

"Thank you, Zhao Shen," Fatty Li said with delight.

Forgetting his life, he could at least get close to this powerful figure; Fatty Li had no reason to refuse.

"Okay." Zhao Lie nodded. "Now, demonstrate your special ability."

Fatty Li's smile froze: "Huh?"

"Can't understand?"

"No... Zhao Shen, you know about my special abilities," Fatty Li forced a smile, "They're too advanced to demonstrate."

Zhao Lie stared at him: "How am I supposed to know how capable you are if you don't show me something?"

Fatty Li hesitated for a few seconds, but when he met Zhao Lie's eyes, he chickened out.

He gritted his teeth and pulled down his pants.

Fatty Li is a ruthless man; he can bend and stretch.

Zhao Lie watched helplessly as Fatty Li manipulated his supernatural abilities—

It can grow bigger, smaller, straighten, bend... as flexible as a giant python!

Zhao Lie remained silent.

For a fleeting moment, he even felt that his SSS-level lightning-type ability wasn't so appealing anymore.

If this weren't the apocalypse, Fatty Li would be considered an outstanding individual.

"Put it away." Zhao Lie's heart was breaking. "Don't embarrass yourself."

"Alright!" Fatty Li stopped instantly.

Zhao Lie: "..."

They really know how to control their emotions.

"Holy crap..." Zhao Lie was both amused and exasperated.

That's a talent, a real fucking talent.

"Let's get down to business." Zhao Lie suppressed his emotions. "There are only 30,000 to 40,000 people left in Jiangnan City. How are we going to manage them?"

Fatty Li perked up, knowing it was time for him to shine.

He pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Supplies. As long as there are supplies, these people will obey."

"continue."

"Let's gather all the city's supplies and hold them in our hands," Fatty Li said, his eyes darting around quickly. "Want to eat? Sure, but work first. If you don't work, you'll go hungry."

"Is it that simple?" Zhao Lie frowned.

"Of course not." Fatty Li lowered his voice. "There are so many people, the two of us can't possibly keep an eye on them all. Thirty or forty thousand people, let them keep an eye on each other."

"Human nature cannot withstand the test. If we establish rewards and punishments, they will actively supervise and report each other."

Fatty Li got more and more excited as he spoke, "Women, children, and the elderly are divided into different levels. Strong laborers are given priority to be fed, and as for women... well, it depends on their contribution."

"How is the contribution calculated?" Zhao Lie pressed.

"Those who can work contribute, those who can't work..." Fatty Li paused, "...and those who are good-looking can do other things."

"What about the elderly and children?" Zhao Lie asked again.

"The children's allowance has been halved," Fatty Li's voice turned cold. "The elderly... are being abandoned."

Zhao Lie narrowed his eyes slightly.

That fat Li is ruthless!

Seeing Zhao Lie staring at him, Fatty Li quickly added, "Zhao Shen, please don't misunderstand. I'm just making a suggestion. These people have to give something to survive. In this apocalypse, there's no such thing as free food."

"Nobody knows how long this thunderstorm will last, and supplies will only dwindle."

Zhao Lie was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled.

"With a brain like yours, it's a shame you're not in the post-apocalyptic world."

Fatty Li chuckled.

Just as Zhao Lie was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked up outside.

In the distance, two figures were walking towards them.

A moment later, two women stood at the entrance of the villa.

The one in the lead, a man in his forties with curly hair, looked disheveled, but his eyes still held the arrogance cultivated in the workplace.

The other one was in his early twenties and quite handsome.

"Zhao Lie, is Zhao Lie inside?" the curly-haired woman shouted inside. "It's your Sister Zhang, let me in quickly!"

Fatty Li didn't move, but turned to look at Zhao Lie.

Zhao Lie came out and looked the two of them up and down.

Sister Zhang, head of the human resources department.

I used to be known as a snob at the company.

They fawn over their superiors but ignore ordinary employees.

Doing no human resources work in a human resources position.

Zhao Lie, a lowly nobody, suffered no shortage of disdain from her.

The young woman next to her, the company receptionist, what was her name again... oh right, Liu Yuemei.

He likes to go to the boss's office whenever he has free time.

"Zhao Lie!" Sister Zhang's eyes lit up when she saw him. "Great! It really is you! Let us in quickly."

Zhao Lie looked at them but didn't reply.

Sister Zhang thought he had agreed, so she stepped inside.

Fatty Li reached out to stop him.

Sister Zhang glared at him: "What are you doing? I'm Zhao Lie's colleague! An old colleague! Who do you think you are to stop me?"

Fatty Li was taken aback. He didn't know what this person's relationship was with Zhao Lie, so he didn't make any rash moves.

At this moment, Zhao Lie spoke up.

"Fatty, use your superpower to entertain her."
