Everyone's heads were buzzing, feeling as if the blood in their bodies was boiling.

"Wang Hao, are you telling the truth?"

Wu Zicheng asked with a trembling voice.

"Is there any need for me to lie to you?"

Wang Hao felt a bit speechless.

He kept his eyes on Zhou Tingyu, who was helping Wu Zicheng.

This young lady was really pretty!

And she had an aura of scholarly refinement all over her.

She looked like a cultured person.

Judging by their intimate behavior, she must be Wu Zicheng's new girlfriend without a doubt.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

These artists!

They really make one envious!

Should I also learn some painting or photography or something?

"Wang Hao, we want to merge several groups together, and then have representatives from each group form a leadership team.

As the first leader, we could together turn the villa area into a small settlement, what do you think?"

Wu Zicheng asked tentatively.

"No way!"

Wang Hao sneered disdainfully:

"Elder Wu, don't mess with these formalities. It's still my previous plan.

If you want to join, everyone must follow my arrangements. I will ensure your food supply, it's as simple as that."

"This..."

Wu Zicheng looked troubled.

They wanted to retain the leadership structure to some extent to counterbalance Wang Hao.

Even gradually undermine Wang Hao, making him a nominal first leader.

After all, these people were theirs.

Secretly, they would definitely listen to them.

However, Wang Hao didn't seem to be a fool either.

He wanted them to completely submit to him and didn't intend to use these people.

It seemed he wanted to create a dictatorship.

This could be quite troublesome!

Although Wang Hao wasn't a bad person, people could change.

Power could make a person lose themselves.

Especially someone like him, a nouveau riche, he might become reckless.

"Does it need so much consideration?"

Wang Hao shook his head helplessly, saying with some amusement:

"Elder Wu, I think you should realize this is the apocalypse. I have plenty of food to keep you from starving, medication, doctors to treat your ailments.

I also have weapons, and Lin Yuennan, a special forces soldier, to protect your safety. What more do you want?

To be honest, if it weren't for being in the same villa area, I wouldn't even bother with you people.

If I have Lin Yuennan recruit outside, can't I recruit others? It's just a matter of more effort."

Wu Zicheng: ...

"I submit, I am willing to submit, as long as there is food, I'll listen to anything you say."

At this moment, a young man unexpectedly knelt down with a thud.

He was also a wealthy second generation, once arrogant and domineering.

However, when the apocalypse came, his body, long ravaged by indulgence, was utterly useless.

He hadn't had a full meal in a long time and was nearly starving to death.

The arrogance in his heart had long been worn away by reality.

This was far more brutal than society's harsh lessons.

Concepts like face and dignity are nothing in the face of hunger.

"I submit."

"Me too."

"As long as there's food, I'm willing to do anything."

When he took the lead, people around Elder Wu began to kneel down one after another.

Before they came, they were already mentally prepared.

This was the apocalypse, after all. Most of them were smart enough to know they should let go of their pride.

As long as they could get enough to eat, as long as they could survive, they would be grateful.

Moreover, submitting to Wang Hao was probably better than joining Zhou Feng, right?

Some women even began to entertain devious thoughts.

To rule the world while awake, and have beauties in one's arms when drunk.

Power and women have always been men's lifelong pursuits.

If Wang Hao fancied their bodies, not only would they get enough food, but they might also gain considerable power.

Before long, only Wu Zicheng and his "female student" Zhou Tingyu remained standing.

"Sigh...."

Wu Zicheng let out a long sigh, choosing to compromise, he bowed deeply to Wang Hao:

"We are willing to submit, henceforth at your command."

"Kneel!"

Wang Hao's voice slowly sounded.

Wu Zicheng's whole body trembled.

He was a master of traditional Chinese painting, highly respected, and lived to such an old age.

Aside from ancestors, he had never knelt to anyone.

He instinctively clenched his fists, Zhou Tingyu wanted to react, but he held her back tightly.

After struggling for a moment, he let out a long sigh.

He pulled Zhou Tingyu and knelt down.

"Very good!"

The drone took off, and Wang Hao delivered a walkie-talkie to Old Wu.

"Take this walkie-talkie, I will use it to contact you later. Now you should go back, I think you need to discuss with them."

"I bid farewell."

With Zhou Tingyu's support, Wu Zicheng shakily led the crowd away.

His hunched body and forlorn back seemed to have aged a few more years in an instant.

"Brother, that old grandpa is a bit pitiful."

Beside him, Xiaoyueyue pursed her lips, her big eyes showing a hint of sympathy.

She didn't understand, since others had already submitted, why Wang Hao still forced him to kneel!

After all, a man's dignity should be as valuable as gold!

Making such a highly respected old grandpa kneel, it was really a bit much.

"Sigh...."

Wang Hao let out a long sigh, put down the tablet, and hugged Xiaoyueyue in his arms:

"If possible, I don't want him to kneel either, but I must establish authority, I must be strong, I must make them fear me.

My foundation is too weak."

Wang Hao didn't want to be the bad guy either.

But he had no choice.

He was just an ordinary fresh graduate, an office worker.

He had no authority at all.

The people in the villa area were either rich or noble, they looked down on people like him from the bottom of their hearts.

If he appeared easygoing, appeared weak.

They would take him even less seriously.

At that time, they would surely pay him lip service, and might even rebel when given the chance.

So he had to be a bit ruthless.

In the future, he also had to use iron-fisted methods to set an example.

You can't be kind while leading, can't be righteous while doing business, can't be benevolent while governing, can't be good-natured while holding office.

Since he decided to be the boss, decided to make a difference, he had to put away his ridiculous sense of compassion.

"Oh~~"

Xiaoyueyue nodded as if she understood, she snuggled in Wang Hao's arms, squirming hard:

"Yueyue just wants to stay by brother's side all the time. If brother likes, then Yueyue can kneel for you too.

I can even lick your boots!"

At first, Wang Hao felt gratified, with a nurturing smile like a loving mother.

He really hadn't spoiled this little girl for nothing.

However, upon hearing the last sentence, his smile froze instantly.

The tone suddenly changed!

Where did she learn these words from!

He thought he shouldn't let her watch movies or TV shows casually in the future.

She's been led astray.
