"My words are the rules."
Su Chen clapped his hands, as if he had only done a trivial thing.
He even had a gentle smile on his face.
But to all the survivors, that smile was a thousand times more terrifying than the most hideous demon.
"There are objections."
"You can get out now."
"Go and face the monsters outside yourself."
"..."
The room fell silent; no one dared to voice any further objections.
Chapter Twenty-Seven: Yukino's Talent
Su Chen's method of establishing authority was exceptionally effective.
Overnight, the atmosphere inside the stadium completely changed.
No one dared to complain openly anymore, and no one dared to peek at the girls with those unclean eyes.
All the survivors became obedient.
But Su Chen knew in his heart that this was only temporary.
Violence alone can only bring fear and cannot build a truly cohesive team.
To truly unite this group of survivors with complex backgrounds, what is needed is order and rules.
And the troublesome task of setting rules...
Su Chen has never been good at it, nor has he been interested in it.
So, the next morning, he passed this hot potato directly to the most suitable candidate.
"Yukino."
He placed a blank notebook and a pen in front of Yukino Yukinoshita.
"give it to you."
"……what?"
Yukino Yukinoshita raised her head, a hint of confusion in her icy blue eyes.
"Rules," Su Chen said succinctly. "All the rules for this base."
"Work assignments, resource allocations, reward and punishment systems... you decide everything."
"I only look at the results."
After saying that, he ignored Yukino's astonished expression and walked to a corner to begin his unwavering training.
"..."
Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the notebook in front of her, then at the man who was acting like a self-righteous shirker, and gritted her teeth.
Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the notebook in front of her, then glanced at the man's back.
She said nothing.
He simply picked up the notebook and pen silently.
'Trying to test me?'
'Sure.'
'Let me show you just how capable I, Yukino Yukinoshita, really am!'
……
The next 24 hours were a complete cognitive upheaval for the survivors in the stadium.
They finally witnessed it with their own eyes.
What the hell is this, calling her Queen?
If Su Chen's strength lay in his unreasonable fists, then...
That woman, Yukino Yukinoshita, used her incredibly clever and intimidating mind to arrange everything so clearly for everyone...
"Your name is Takahashi, right? You used to be a plumber at the TV station?"
Yukino, holding the notebook, found the middle-aged man huddled in the corner, his face blank.
"……Yes."
“Very good.” Yukino nodded. “You and Nakamura are responsible for fixing the electrical circuits and water pipes here. Well done, there will be meat in your soup tonight.”
“And you.” She then looked at a trembling young girl. “Sato, an intern nurse at the municipal hospital? Come with me, we need a medical corner.”
"Um...you, your name is Suzuki, right?" Finally, she found the fat man who could only grin foolishly. "You used to run an izakaya? From today onwards, you're our head chef. Here, with this bunch of rotten vegetable leaves and luncheon meat, figure out how to make sure everyone is well-fed."
She just kept searching, one by one.
They assigned tasks one by one.
No discussion, no nonsense.
But the tasks assigned to you are damn precise, exactly what you're best at.
This rendered the survivors completely speechless.
Even in this godforsaken place where every day is uncertain, for the first time, they found a sense of "still being useful."
At night.
In the most conspicuous place in the stadium, there is a new notice with neat, printed characters.
There weren't any grand principles written above, just three points.
1. Everything must be handed over to the authorities. Work and eat, or get out.
Second: You must do the work assigned to you. Anyone who dares to slack off will have their meal halved.
Three: No fighting, no stealing, and no touching women inappropriately. Anyone who violates these rules…
The notice didn't specify what would happen at the end.
Next to the words "Who dares to commit this offense?", there was a small arrow pointing to the stadium's main entrance.
The meaning is quite obvious.
As the survivors drank the steaming hot broth that Chef Suzuki had actually made from that rotten stuff.
When they saw that the electrician Gaoqiao had actually fixed a light in the equipment room, illuminating a large area, they were deeply moved.
When they felt that this "home" seemed... to have real hope.
When they looked again at the girl with long, straight black hair who was still sitting in the corner, meticulously writing down her work plan for tomorrow.
The previous disdain and suspicion were gone from his eyes.
Only the purest... remains.
admire.
Even Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had always been at odds with her, could only snort after reading the flawless notice.
"Tch...you're quite capable."
Yukinoshita Yukino.
With her intellect, she won over everyone except Su Chen.
And she truly and firmly secured her irreplaceable "queen" position in this team.
Chapter Twenty-Eight: Heart-to-Heart Talk Under the Night
night.
Quietly.
The wind was a bit strong on the rooftop of the stadium, and it felt chilly on my face.
Su Chen sat cross-legged, looking like an old monk in deep meditation.
The Perfect Reverse Rebirth Triple within the body swirls around on its own, gradually grinding away the chaotic energy in the air into the purest "Primordial Qi".
Since this damn apocalypse began, his training speed has been like a cheat code, making one day equal to ten days.
He even had a feeling.
Before long, he will be able to master the first level of [Flesh and Blood Reversal].
at this time.
Behind me, I heard very light footsteps.
Su Chen didn't turn around.
He recognized the footsteps.
The footsteps stopped beside him.
A still-steaming thermos was gently placed beside him.
"Give."
Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was still as cold as ever, but I don't know if it was just my imagination, but it seemed a little softer than usual.
Su Chen finished his practice and opened his eyes.
He picked up the cup, and a warm sensation traveled down his fingertips.
"Thanks."
He said.
Yukino Yukinoshita didn't leave; she sat down next to him, a step away, just like him.
Neither of them spoke.
Just quietly, gazing at the dark city in the distance.
There were no lights, no cars, no human voices.
The place was filled with the dead, like a graveyard.
Only the stars in the sky are still twinkling, I wonder who they're shining for.
A long time passed.
"It happened during the day."
Yukino Yukinoshita spoke first.
"Ok?"
"...You did the right thing."
When she said this, she didn't look at Su Chen, but stared at her knees.
"In those situations, only fists can shut those idiots up. I've learned that."
Su Chen glanced at her with some surprise.
Hey, this girl's pretty savvy.
He thought that, given her haughty, spoiled attitude, she would argue with him for ages about "human rights" and "procedural justice."
“But,” she changed the subject, “I still think that’s too dangerous.”
"Throwing people out to feed the monsters might scare everyone. But what if they become desperate and band together to fight you?"
"what would you do?"
"Kill everyone?"
She finally raised her head, her icy blue eyes filled with seriousness.
