I'm a zombie, what's the point of awakening the yellow-haired system?

There were the supervisor's cronies, warehouse managers, and even a few black market members disguised as ordinary survivors. They were so bold that they dared to lurk under Zhang Chen's nose and engage in human trafficking.

"Chief, spare my life!" a middle-aged woman cried, "I just helped to look out for the wind a few times..."

Anna said coldly: "Oh, just a lookout? Then how do you explain those psychics in the basement who were drugged by you?"

Zhang Chen looked around the square. The entire safe zone had gathered in the square, and everyone was watching this scene with bated breath.

"Since you have chosen to betray," Zhang Chen said calmly, "then you must bear the price of betrayal."

He waved his finger lightly, and those people suddenly covered their chests and twitched in pain. Some tried to stand up and run away, but their legs seemed to be nailed to the ground.

"Oh! My heart..."

"Help...help..."

"don't want..."

Screams came one after another. Their faces turned red and blood began to flow from their seven orifices. This was Zhang Chen's ability - to make the heart accelerate to the limit in an instant.

In less than a minute, more than twenty bodies fell to the ground, their deaths were miserable.

Anna looked at this scene, and a hint of pleasure flashed in her beautiful eyes: "You deserve it."

Zhang Chen turned to the crowd below the stage and said, "Remember, the price of betrayal is death. From today on, the safe zone will re-check all personnel. Anyone who is suspicious will be killed without mercy."

There was silence in the crowd, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the cold figure on the podium.

Anna looked at Zhang Chen and said, "Chief, I have arranged for people to thoroughly check the camp and ensure that this kind of thing will not happen again."

Zhang Chen nodded: "Very good. By the way, the bodies of those superpowers..."

“Arrangements have been made for a proper burial,” Anna said, “and their families have received compensation.”

"Chief, please spare me! I really know I was wrong!" A middle-aged man knelt on the ground, with his wife and two young children behind him.

"Dad..." The little girl cried and hugged her father's legs.

Zhang Chen watched this scene expressionlessly: "When you were inciting people and intending to murder Anna, why didn't you think of your family?"

"I... I was bewitched at that time..." The middle-aged man kept kowtowing, "Please, for the sake of the child..."

Ana sneered: “You just took advantage of your family and thought I wouldn’t do anything to you, so you dared to lead the trouble?”

Zhang Chen waved his hand to interrupt his plea for mercy: "Take your family and get out of the safe zone."

"No! There are zombies outside!" the man's wife screamed.

"Either get out or your whole family will be buried with you," Zhang Chen said, "I'll give you three seconds to choose."

The man desperately picked up his two children and was driven out of the door with his wife. In the distance, the roars of zombies could be heard one after another...

After dealing with the traitor, Zhang Chen stood on the watchtower and looked out at the Gobi Desert in the distance. The barren land stretched to the horizon and was miraculously not contaminated by the virus.

"Anna," he said, "let the engineering team build a wall in that Gobi Desert. I want to develop it into farmland."

Anna nodded: "I understand. You want the safe zone to be self-sufficient?"

"That's right," Zhang Chen said.

"Relying solely on looting supplies is not a long-term solution. I want this place to become a real refuge, not a temporary camp."

"But... that Gobi Desert is too dry," Anna frowned, "Isn't it possible to grow crops there?"

Zhang Chen showed a mysterious smile: "With me here, water is not a problem. Let the water-type supernatural beings be responsible for irrigation, and the earth-type supernatural beings improve the soil..."

Anna's eyes lit up: "I see! This is indeed feasible."

"Go and make the arrangements," Zhang Chen said, "and start the work as soon as possible."

Chapter 596 Death is too easy for them.

In the Gobi Desert, the scorching sun is burning the earth.

Dozens of survivors who had committed crimes were sweating profusely as they cleared the wasteland.

"Work for me!" The supervisor swung his whip. "Anyone who dares to slack off won't get to eat tonight!"

Among these people, there are those who steal supplies, those who fight, and those who hide contraband...

Zhang Chen did not execute them, but instead exiled them here to become pioneers.

"Heh," Anna stood on the newly built watchtower, looking at the prisoners busy like ants below, "this kind of punishment is more interesting than direct execution."

Zhang Chen nodded: "Death is too easy for them. Let them use the rest of their lives to atone for their sins and use labor to repay their debt to the safe zone."

A businessman who was once so arrogant was bending over and hoeing the ground.

He used to make a fortune by reselling supplies, but now he has to work hard here.

His skin was tanned red by the sun and his hands were covered with blisters.

"This will be their prison," Zhang Chen said, "and also the granary of the safe zone."

Those with water-related abilities are setting up the irrigation system, while those with earth-related abilities are responsible for improving the soil.

The prisoners were responsible for the hardest and most tiring physical work.

"Chief..." A wounded young man crawled to Zhang Chen's feet, "Please give me a quick death... This place is more terrible than hell..."

Zhang Chen smiled coldly: "Why? Wasn't it very impressive when you were rampant in the safe zone?"

"I know I was wrong..." the young man burst into tears.

"Do you know you're wrong?" Zhang Chen kicked him away. "Then spend the rest of your life proving your regret. Farm the land and work hard for the rest of your life. This is your path to atonement."

Anna added: "Don't think you can escape. There are sensors set up within a hundred miles of this Gobi Desert. Anyone who dares to escape will be discovered immediately."

In the distance, a prisoner who tried to escape was caught by the patrol. He was hung in the hot sun for public display, his skin torn and his flesh exposed. This is the end of escaping.

"Remember," Zhang Chen told all the prisoners, "your lives are mine, and your suffering is mine, too."

"Work hard, and maybe if you behave well in the future, you can get a reduced sentence."

The prisoners lowered their heads and shed tears silently.

They finally realized that this was their purgatory.

But the difference is that the girls sent by Zhang Chen have their own special people to serve them.

In the Gobi Desert, Xiao Qiao and several other water-related ability users are responsible for irrigation.

She just turned nineteen this year. Her skin is as white as snow, her long black hair is tied into a ponytail, and her eyes are clear and moving.

Even in such a harsh environment, she still maintains her girlish beauty.

"Sister Xiao Qiao, take a rest." A companion handed her a kettle.

Xiao Qiao shook her head, her body trembling slightly, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead: "No, this area has not been irrigated yet."

With a flick of her slender wrist, a stream of clear water swirled in the air, accurately watering the newly reclaimed farmland.

In the distance, the prisoners saw this scene and their eyes flashed with surprise and fear.

In the past, when they were in the safe zone, they might have dared to have evil thoughts about such a beauty.

But now, who dares to have any unreasonable thoughts?

According to the rules set by Zhang Chen, anyone who dares to harass a person with special abilities will be executed on the spot.

"Keep your heads down and work!" The supervisor whipped him hard, "What are you looking at!"

The prisoners quickly lowered their heads and continued to reclaim the wasteland.

They used to be able to call the shots in the safe zone, but now they don’t even have the qualifications to look up at a beautiful woman.

Zhang Chen stood on a high place and watched all this with satisfaction.

The development of the Gobi Desert is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Those with water-related abilities are responsible for irrigation, those with earth-related abilities improve the soil, and those who have committed crimes are responsible for the hardest and most tiring physical work.

"Chief," Xiao Qiao came to Zhang Chen and reported, "the irrigation system in the west area has been built." She spoke softly, with the sweetness unique to a young girl.

"Well done," Zhang Chen nodded. "Let Wang Tiezhu take people to check the leakage prevention of the canal. There is a lot of wind and sand here, so regular inspections are required."

Xiao Qiao responded obediently, and when she turned and left, the hem of her skirt swayed gently in the wind, outlining her perfect curves.

Anna came over and looked at the prisoners working hard. "Who dares to cause trouble in the safe zone now? They are all afraid of being sent here."

"That's perfect," Zhang Chen sneered, "Let them spend the rest of their lives building a safe zone. This is more valuable than just executing them directly."

There were cries in the distance, and another prisoner who was trying to slack off was caught.

The overseer raised his whip, and the sound of whipping and screaming mixed together.

This is their hell, a purgatory from which they can never escape.

Deep in the black market, a group of people stood trembling in front of Zhang Chen.

"Captain Zhang...Captain Zhang Chen," the black market manager Carl forced a smile, "I'm sorry for not welcoming you..."

This foreigner with short blond hair is a representative of the Nile State Security Camp.

In the end times, he made a fortune by running the black market and had thousands of people under him.

But in front of Zhang Chen, he didn't even dare to breathe.

"Stop talking nonsense," Zhang Chen glanced at everyone coldly, "How do you explain the illegal sale of psychic organs?"

Karl’s forehead was covered with sweat: “This… this is someone below acting on their own initiative. I have already severely punished them…”

"Snapped!"

Zhang Chen waved his hand casually, and the bodyguards around Carl instantly exploded into bloody mist.

Blood splattered all over Carl's face.

"I... We are willing to surrender!" Carl knelt down directly, "The Nile Security Camp is willing to merge with your forces! We have a population of 30,000 and sufficient reserves of various supplies..."

Anna sneered at the side: "Are you scared now? It's too late."

“It’s not too late, not too late,” Carl shook his head repeatedly.

"We are willing to hand over all our property, just to join the army of Chief Zhang Chen. You already manage more than a hundred security zones, and we are willing to be the first foreign force to surrender!"

Zhang Chen looked at this fawning foreigner with a hint of contempt in his eyes: "You can become my subordinate, but there are three conditions."

"You say!"

"First, surrender all contraband and stolen property."

"Second, provide information about other black markets."

"third..."

Zhang Chen's eyes were sharp as knives. "Send all those involved in organ trafficking to the Gobi Desert for forced labor."

Karl swallowed his saliva: "These...those are our backbone..."

"how?"

"Can't bear to do it?" Zhang Chen's tone turned cold.

“No, no, no!” Karl waved his hands quickly, “I’ll arrange it right away!”

After Karl hurriedly left, Anna whispered, “Does the main leader really want to subdue them?”

"The geographical location of the Nile Kingdom is very important," Zhang Chen said, "It can serve as a springboard for our westward expansion."

Anna suddenly realized: "So the leader wants to..."

Carl's face froze.

He originally thought that he could save his life because he controlled the black market intelligence network.

The black markets in each safe zone are hidden in the dark, selling banned drugs, arms, people, and even the energy cores of superpowers.

Chapter 597 You Take Over All Black Markets

As an intelligence dealer in the underground world, he is familiar with the contacts in every black market.

"Chief, I...I know a lot of secrets!" Carl panicked.

"For example, the black market of the North District Security Camp is in the underground casino, the West District is in the red light district, and the South District..."
