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

Chapter 105 The Law Doesn't Blame the Masses?

"thank you, director zhang!"

"you are such a kind person, boss!"

realizing the value of the tickets in their hands, the throngs of people looked at zhang ye with even more fervor in their eyes.

yet, even so, there were still those who expressed skepticism about the value of the coupons.

sure, they say that, but who knows if they're not just fooling us?

things are different now.

no one cares if you have currency.

it's only when you have those heavy supplies in your arms that you can truly appreciate the benefits.

so, some people began to hesitate, wanting to ask zhang ye if they could directly exchange their coupons for supplies, but when it came to voicing this, they didn't know how to approach the subject.

after all, these were handed out by the boss himself.

if you say you don't want them, wouldn't that be a blatant expression of distrust in zhang ye, as if to embarrass him deliberately?

the outcome of such actions was clear without further thought.

but to just take them and go?

what if they are fake—

zhang ye was no longer the inexperienced youth he once was.

besides women like ai bing, he had men like wang hu, tian gou, and xu lin, who had been struggling in society for many years.

the hesitation and doubts plainly written on these men's faces were all seen by him.

their reaction was, in fact, something he had anticipated.

he would have been doubtful too if he were in their shoes.

so, it was time to deepen their trust in him and the company.

"now, each of you has seven units' worth of coupons in hand," he said.

"when you go back, you can try to exchange them and see."

lachang, standing right in front of zhang ye, immediately asked with some excitement, "director zhang, are you saying these coupons can also be used at the hotel?"

the others perked up their ears upon hearing his question.

it was an extremely important question.

they needed to listen very closely.

indeed, zhang ye's response settled their doubtful hearts and even sparked a vague sense of anticipation.

"of course, they can be used," he assured them.

"these coupons can be used at any settlement within the company's sphere of influence." enjoy new adventures at empire

"naturally, that includes the hotel."

hearing this, everyone looked around at each other, their expressions indescribably excited.

after exchanging glances, they once again began to chant zhang ye's name in unison, "director zhang is awesome!" "director zhang, i love you!" "director zhang, i want to have your babies!"

zhang ye remained cool and collected, silently enjoying the praise from the crowd.

enraged, the team member immediately reported the matter to xu lin.

and then everyone in the room was caught.

but, although these people seemed fearful on the surface, there was still a dismissive look that occasionally flashed in their eyes.

especially true for an elderly man over fifty,

and a teenager who was just a half-grown kid.

these two were the most arrogant.

sure enough, pleas for mercy for them began, with arguments ranging from shen zhou's traditions to the pitiful circumstances of these people.

the number of sympathizers grew, and naturally, so did the clamor.

but this time, things were clearly different.

xu lin was not alone.

all nineteen members of the combat team, who had dared to fight the zombies at close quarters outside, seeing their comrade's plight, were united in resentment and stood solidly behind their team leader.

from the day they were selected and received their company salary, they were no longer on the same side as the hotel's other survivors.

these people had become genuine company dogs.

your seat determines your stance.

xu lin's performance did not disappoint them.

as company management and the leader of the combat team, he was very clear about what the issue at hand meant.

how he dealt with these few thieves would directly determine the company's and the combat team's standing and image in the eyes of the survivors, and in such a situation, a strong approach was necessary.

kill.

kill them all.

in times of chaos, severe punishments are necessary.

violating company regulations meant punishment was inevitable.

no matter if it was an elderly person, a child, or a woman, all were treated equally; no one was an exception.

so, apart from that team member, the remaining five survivors in the room were swiftly apprehended by the ferocious combat team, soon stripped bare, and hanged from a truck.

amidst the pitiful howls, everyone was once again aware of the company's ruthlessness.

at the same time, everyone understood a principle.

if you want to live, you have to follow the rules.

otherwise, this is what happens.

meanwhile, xu lin's side saw a surge in survivors actively volunteering to participate in the selection.

since one had to fight the zombies outside anyway,

why not try for the selection?

what if you passed?

the treatment of the combat team was clear for all to see.

it was legitimate supplies.

enough for one's own consumption.
