You were supposed to hoard supplies, why the heck did you hoard zombies!

Chapter 82 Did I give you too much face?

"Let me see, how far are we now..."

Zhang Ye said as he opened the staff list, which included not only the previous zombie worker list and human worker list but also a pet list attached to the zombie worker list.

The numbers on the list similarly started from 001, but there were only forty spots, equal to the number of security guards.

This meant that all the pet slots originated from the security profession.

As the saying goes, a man and his dog, I have the world.

Security guards with dogs, forever and ever.

When he found out that those idle security guards also had this skill, he immediately mobilized the security personnel of the entire community to find something that could be used as pets, but ultimately only discovered these two zombie dogs hiding in an alley.

The plan of one man, one dog, instantly fell through.

Zhang Ye could only sigh and allocated both zombie dogs to the two security guards who were acting as temporary overseers. Read latest stories on empire

With the intimidating presence of the fearsome zombie dogs, the efficiency of the well-digging slaves doubled in an instant, fearing that if they didn't work hard enough, they might get bitten by those beasts drooling with viscous fluid.

Unfortunately, a person is not a dog, and can't be added as one.

Otherwise, couldn't we have dozens more staff slots out of thin air?

As Zhang Ye thought this, his gaze shifted to the zombie worker list, where he saw that the latest worker number had already reached over one hundred thirty.

And the maximum number of employees had reached an astonishing one hundred and seventy.

There were less than forty spots left.

We must recruit to full capacity as soon as possible.

Below, Zhao Quan and Zhou Dayong had already been propped up by the security guards, and soon each received a bite, lying on the ground twitching.

Meanwhile, their bosses, Zheng Youcai and Chen Bingjiang, could only watch in horror.

They didn't even dare to plead for mercy, fearing the repercussions on themselves.

It was because of this that their status in the hearts of their former subordinates plummeted once again, completely losing their past prestige and influence.

If they couldn't protect their confidants, how could they protect anyone else?

Daydreaming!

With their spirits broken, they could only pin all their hopes of survival on Zhang Ye.

Thinking about it carefully, his conditions didn't seem all that harsh.

Sanjiang City was so named because it was located at the confluence of three rivers, so the underground water resources were certainly abundant.

With Wang Jianguo, the professional professor, directing above ground, digging a couple of wells naturally wouldn't be difficult.

Each team was made up of sixteen people and divided into four groups.

One group would dig, one group would transport, and the remaining two groups could take the opportunity to rest.

Although the shifts changed every two hours and went on day and night, after careful calculation, each person would only work twelve hours a day!

Compared with all the past unscrupulous factories, it was even more humane!

At least they didn't have to work overtime!

If you had to point out where it was harsh, it would be the food issue.

The provided food was nothing but some expired snacks or canned goods, not to mention the small portions that were only available to the team with high work efficiency.

But even so, this food could still ensure that some people wouldn't starve to death.

If someone really starved to death, then the problem certainly lay with them.

When you were hungry, did you take the time to reflect on yourself?

Did you dig the well properly?

Were you not working hard enough?

Why did others have something to eat while you didn't?

Sometimes, people need to look more at their own faults, has it been just you going hungry for two whole days?

All these words were said by Zhang Ye.

The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt he was right.

Upon further reflection, they realized they had come with those two men to rob others, but what about him?

He hadn't killed them right away, but instead had given them a chance to live.

Such a great benefactor indeed!

Thinking of this, their gaze toward Zhang Ye transformed, and at the bottom of their eyes, there was even a trace of faint gratitude.

Just as Zhang Ye was preparing to reassign the zombified Zhao Quan and Zhou Dayong to the well-digging team, a colossal noise suddenly erupted from outside the complex, as if something had collided.

"Director Zhang, leave this to me,"

Seeing this, Wang Jianguo hurriedly stepped forward and said.

Zhang Ye nodded, immediately leading a dozen bodyguards towards the complex's exterior.

Outside the gate, a heavy truck, swathed in steel plates and barbed wire, was idling in the middle of the road, apparently attempting a U-turn.

Next to it was a grey minivan, with half its body plunged into the greenery pool.

A section of a tree branch seemed to have pierced through the front window.

Someone was struggling and writhing inside.

"Zhang Ye?"

Zhou Tao, who had just managed to clamber out of the vehicle intent on cursing the idiot who had parked the truck in the middle of the road, was startled to see a familiar figure step out from behind the driver.

It was none other than Zhang Ye, who had previously led people away from the mall.

And that woman was with him.

Was her name Ai Bing?

His gaze sharpened as he saw the two of them, and then quickly shifted to the driver.

Indeed, he had seen this person in the mall as well!

"What are you doing here?"

The look in Zhou Tao's eyes darkened at once, and became more guarded upon seeing the dozen or so bodyguards with shields accompanying Zhang Ye.

While he spoke, another seven or eight people got out of the vehicle.

Apart from the woman, the rest were all those who had seen Zhang Ye in the corridor that day.

Isn't that the kid who provoked Chen Bingjiang in the corridor?

He's still alive?

Two days ago, Chen Bingjiang and Zheng Youcai had led people away from the mall, and everyone was quite clear about their intentions.

Most likely, this kid had something on him that had caught their interest.

Now, seeing that Zhang Ye was still alive, many people were surprised, given that Chen Bingjiang and Zheng Youcai had left with a grand procession of seventy or eighty people.

In their minds, they had assumed this kid wouldn't even have much of a corpse left.

Yet here was Zhang Ye, not only alive but also seemingly thriving.

His face was flushed with health; it was clear he hadn't been lacking food.

Behind him followed a dozen of his men and a beautiful woman, all standing tall and looking very energetic.

They certainly didn't seem like people who had been chased for their lives.

Zhang Ye was also somewhat surprised.

He hadn't expected that there were still people alive inside the mall.

The young man leading them was someone he had seen in the corridor, who had seemed afraid of Chen Bingjiang venting his fury on him.

Now, however, he appeared much more somber and seemed to carry a heavy burden.

But there was a notable absence among these people.

"Where's Xu Lin?"

As soon as Zhang Ye uttered these words, the faces of those people changed simultaneously, and several of them avoided his gaze.

Zhou Tao blurted out a retort telling Zhang Ye it was none of his business and turned to leave.

The zombies at the intersection were nearing.

They needed to leave this place immediately.

The others, seeing this, also hurriedly prepared to follow, but then they heard a light, floating voice behind them:

"I overlooked your previous behavior out of respect for Inspector Xu."

"And now you dare to speak to me like this?"

"Mister Zhou."

"Did I give you too much face?"
