Inside the steel plant
With Zhao Hu and Yang Tian gone, it's now basically leaderless here.
The person left in charge by Zhao Hu is a guy named Yang Xin.
He's one of the first to follow Zhao Hu, a big burly guy, very capable in a fight.
But his mind isn't too sharp, barely managing to hold things together.
Yang Tian's side was handed over to a gang leader.
Named Chen Zhan.
Despite being quite skinny, it's said he learned a few moves from an old master, wielding a machete with incredible skill.
Once, he cut down over a dozen thugs in a small alley with a single watermelon knife, becoming famous overnight.
Killing zombies is a breeze for him.
These days, power is king.
Zhao Hu and Yang Tian also rose to power through strength.
That's why they chose them as temporary proxies.
Right now, Yang Xin and Chen Zhan have embraced being free.
Zhao Hu and Yang Tian both have hidden treasures of their own.
These women are the most beautiful in the steel plant, something they couldn't play with on a regular day.
Now that Zhao Hu and Yang Tian are gone.
They naturally want to savor them properly.
For those women, it doesn't really matter, it's all the same anyway, who they sleep with makes no difference.
These two are even a lot more handsome than Zhao Hu and Yang Tian.
Besides, if they dare to resist, they might be fed to zombies.
By then, just telling people they were bitten by monsters will suffice.
In the end, it's just a woman anyway.
Even if Yang Tian and Zhao Hu find out, they wouldn't delve into it too much.
After all, these are their major generals!
Moreover, after sleeping with them, when Zhao Hu and Yang Tian return, they won't say a word.
If it becomes known they've been touched by others, even if coerced, Zhao Hu and Yang Tian might disdain them.
At best, they might end up being sent to the Phoenix Pavilion to entertain guests.
So, the women just grit their teeth and bear it.
They might even strive to please.
If they anger them, it won't end well.
Zhang Xiaoxiao and Zhou Yun, as Wang Hao's people.
For now, have not been targeted.
After all, Wang Hao is not Zhao Hu and Yang Tian; if you mess with his people, he will most likely retaliate.
There are plenty of beauties; no need to specifically go after the two of them.
"Sister Zhou, what are your plans afterward?"
While eating, Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly looked up at Zhou Yun.
"Plans?"
Zhou Yun was startled, not understanding what Zhang Xiaoxiao meant at first:
"What plans can I have? Just surviving here. Wang Hao is quite nice, he pays for our food.
Now we can eat our fill every day and don't have to do anything disgusting. I'm quite content."
"Sister Zhou, you were a big star! Once you lived a life of luxury, went to all kinds of high-end places, surrounded by followers wherever you went.
Are you willing to stay forever in this godforsaken steel plant?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao said, a bit like she couldn't believe Zhou Yun could be content.
"What else can I do? It's the end times now, everything's been turned upside down, everything I had before has become a fleeting dream."
Zhou Yun sighed deeply.
Did she not want to return to her previous life, having everything she once had?
Of course she did.
But it's not something she could just wish for, and it would happen!
"Didn't you hear Wang Hao say there's an official settlement camp nearby?
There they've basically completed a preliminary civilization recovery and it's quite safe.
You were once a big star; surely there must be acquaintances there, and even more fans.
Once you reach the settlement camp, you could continue being a big star."
Zhang Xiaoxiao persuaded.
These words moved Zhou Yun's heart.
To the settlement camp?
If she could reach the settlement camp, she believed, with her celebrity status, her looks, and her singing voice,
she could make a name for herself.
But...
"It's dozens of kilometers to the settlement camp Wang Hao mentioned, right?
The road is fraught with danger, not to mention myself; even Brother Hu would find it difficult to get there."
She sighed heavily.
She wasn't some naive girl, easily swayed by a few words from others.
For a big star like her, empty promises were useless.
"Many from your previous filming crew are working at the steel plant, right?
I remember there were martial arts instructors, stunt doubles, they're all doing quite well now.
If you rally them, plus gather more people, it shouldn't be a problem to get to the settlement camp."
Zhang Xiaoxiao clearly had a plan in mind.
With this, Zhou Yun's eyes lit up, but then quickly dimmed again:
"They're doing well at the steel plant, why would they rally around me?
Plus, they were scattered and placed at different positions with someone watching over them.
Yang Xin isn't to be trifled with! Even if I manage to persuade them, we can't escape under Yang Xin's nose, can we?"
"When did I say anything about escaping under their noses?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao's lips curled into a cold smile:
"We're going to walk out boldly and take the supplies with us; that way, once we reach the settlement camp, we'll have some leverage.
Besides! Even if we don't reach the settlement camp, we could still find a new place along the way and establish our own gathering spot."
Zhang Xiaoxiao's words were shocking.
Zhou Yun was taken aback by her words.
What kind of fantastical plan is this?
This woman must be crazy, right?
"Not everyone in the steel plant is loyal to Zhao Hu. Quite the opposite, some were captured by him.
Their wives are even entertaining guests in the Phoenix Pavilion, plus, Zhao Hu didn't start at the top; he seized his position from the previous leader.
As long as we rally a group, and stir things up, the whole steel plant could be thrown into chaos, with many willing to join us."
Zhang Xiaoxiao said confidently.
Zhou Yun nodded subconsciously.
Zhang Xiaoxiao was right!
In the steel plant, many held grudges against both Zhao Hu and Yang Tian, possibly even hated them.
But their power was too strong; through force, no one dared oppose them.
Now that they've left,
If someone rises to the occasion and the opportunity seems promising, many are bound to step in.
Who wouldn't want to go to the settlement camp?
At worst, they could have a good feast with the seized food supplies.
"Yang Xin and Chen Zhan aren't easy to deal with either! They have a team of formidable fighters."
Zhou Yun still felt uneasy and reluctant.
Choosing a leader isn't that easy!
"Hmph!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao pulled a pistol from her waist and placed it on the table.
"This....."
Zhou Yun's pupils slightly contracted.
A gun?
Where did she get a gun?
But soon she realized: "Did Wang Hao give this to you?"
"Yes, with this gun, we can not only handle Yang Xin and Chen Zhan but also serve as a deterrent to others.
Then you can have your people quickly take control and open the barns to feed everyone before escaping with them.
By the time Zhao Hu and his men return from Purple Gold Mountain, we might already be at the settlement camp, or they may never return."
Zhang Xiaoxiao laughed smugly.
She wouldn't go to the settlement camp alone, even if she could make it.
But taking this group of people and ample supplies, she would have the capital.
She believed once at the settlement camp, with her capabilities, she could surely make a mark.
