#21 - Chapter 21: Are you a species?
Green Source Base.
Noon.
The wall repair crew, who had been busy for half the day, could finally stop for lunch and a rest.
Those who were used to physical labor found the current workload acceptable, and even the working hours were quite friendly.
Who among the farmers didn't used to get up at 5 a.m. and work until noon before getting food?
Construction workers usually had to start work at 6 a.m.
However, some people who hadn't done much heavy work before found it a bit too much to handle.
Yesterday, the first day, was alright, and most people gritted their teeth and persevered.
But after a night of lactic acid fermentation, today was a torment, and everyone complained of aches all over their bodies.
Lunchtime.
Everyone gathered in the dining hall to line up for food.
The young group that had just formed in the morning sat together, with Li Yan naturally among them.
Li Yan, in a coquettish voice, said to the man who had first voiced his dissatisfaction that morning:
"Brother Wang~ Look~ The food today is still so little and so bad. How can it be worthy of our diligent work this morning? This is simply exploiting us~"
"Look at my hands, they're covered in blisters, and my face is tanned today. How am I going to face people in the future~ I originally thought I had a little charm, so I dared to pluck up the courage to ask Brother Wang to take me as his girlfriend, but now I'm too embarrassed to mention it~ Waa~ waa~ waa~"
Li Yan squeezed her eyes for a long time, but couldn't squeeze out a single tear, so she had to lean down and pretend to cry, while also moving closer to the man next to her.
"Yan Yan, don't cry. I'll stand up for you later."
This Brother Wang's full name was Wang Minglong.
He was of average appearance, but his height was decent, close to 1.8 meters. He used to work as a salesman in other companies, had good eloquence, and was considered to have achieved some success.
It was just that he had offended his former company's superiors with his gossipy mouth some time ago, was given a hard time, and resigned in dissatisfaction. He had recently joined Green Source.
He was a relatively new employee, and he had brought a friend to freeload at the opening celebration, but he didn't expect the apocalypse to happen.
Wang Minglong placed his right hand on Li Yan's soft back, feeling the beauty's delicate body. The warm and supple female touch made his eyes involuntarily glance at other parts of her.
Seeing her upturned buttocks and huge breasts, which trembled with her body's convulsions, he felt even hotter.
It wasn't that he hadn't had girlfriends before. He was still in a relationship the day before the apocalypse.
But when he thought of the woman at home, who was 1.45 meters tall, weighed over 100 kilograms, and was a dark and chubby, slightly overweight woman in her thirties,
he simply couldn't muster any interest.
If it weren't for the fact that her family background was good, her father was a contractor, had some money, and took good care of him,
Green Source Factory was built by his girlfriend's father's construction team.
He had gotten into Green Source through some connections.
He had wanted to dump his girlfriend for a long time.
Unfortunately, this society valued money too much, and it was really difficult to move without money.
Apart from his glib tongue, he had no other special skills.
In order to hold his head high among his relatives, friends, and brothers in his hometown, he didn't dare to let go of his current girlfriend, because these people in his hometown valued money even more.
They laughed at the poor but not at prostitutes.
As long as he drove a luxury car back, he would be President Wang; otherwise, he would always be Little Wang.
His girlfriend's father had promised him that as long as they got married next year, he would give him a new A6 as a dowry.
The wedding would also be grand, and the bride price could be waived, but they would have to have more children in the future and some of them would be named after his girlfriend's family.
Very realistic conditions.
And he had agreed.
For himself, for his family, for society.
He had to do this.
Then, the apocalypse came.
It erased all his original plans for the future, as if playing a joke on him.
His girlfriend, future father-in-law, and even his family couldn't be contacted. It seemed that only he was left in the world.
Before he could feel empty and sad, he was thrown into the base's "busy" construction, which exhausted him like a dog.
He seemed to have heard a saying that when God closes a door for someone, he opens a window for him.
He found that it seemed to be true.
When he was chatting with friends and colleagues this morning, he attracted this beauty named Li Yan to join, and he was secretly delighted.
In fact, he had been eyeing Li Yan on the night of the mutation.
At that time, he was sitting at the neighboring table to Li Yan and Xiao Zhou, envying her boyfriend Xiao Zhou for being lucky enough to find such a beautiful woman as his girlfriend.
He had imagined the erotic scenes of Xiao Zhou and Li Yan making love more than once in his mind.
He admitted that he was jealous.
He also fantasized about how happy he would be if he could replace Xiao Zhou as Li Yan's boyfriend.
As a result, a turning point came.
That night, Xiao Zhou mutated and became a terrifying zombie. At that time, he felt both fear and secret joy.
He thought that since he couldn't get it, it was best if no one else could either.
Seeing Xiao Zhou tied to a pillar by President Qin, his eyes showed not only fear, but also schadenfreude that he himself didn't quite understand.
He saw Li Yan become "single" again.
Although he couldn't get it himself, it was good that beautiful things didn't belong to anyone.
That kind of pleasure even dispelled a lot of the sadness of losing his family.
Then, he didn't expect their conversation to attract Li Yan this morning, and he took the opportunity to cater to her and complain about the base, which earned him her favor.
Coupled with the sense of agreement that his friends and colleagues showed him, he felt lightheaded.
A desire grew in the depths of his body and became uncontrollable.
He wanted to possess Li Yan!
He wanted more, he wanted the base to give him some power!
He could lead his friends to become a force in the base, obeying President Qin; otherwise, he would lead his friends to strike!
Yes, strike.
Green Source Base certainly couldn't withstand a large-scale strike where people didn't work but ate food every day.
He felt that he had the support of Li Yan and other friends, and he was a powerful person!
He was qualified to negotiate with President Qin!
He was a man named Wang.
Perhaps he could build a career in the apocalypse?
The thought of it was exciting.
Moreover, Li Yan was becoming more and more tacit with him as they talked (Li Yan's soothing skills for simps), and their relationship had basically been confirmed!
She must have been attracted by his kingly aura!
A real man should be like this!
What is life!?
This is life!
The overlord's life that belonged to him, Wang Minglong!
As long as he made a request to the base today, he had more than 80% certainty of success (his own YY).
Then, in the evening, his new girlfriend, Li Yan, would move into his dormitory and enjoy the beautiful body that he originally didn't dare to think about.
His hand was still patting Li Yan gently to comfort her, gently stroking her back, brushing over her slender waist, and unknowingly almost touching Li Yan's buttocks.
After hesitating for a moment, he didn't really grab it.
Seeming to be a little afraid of being unable to withstand the stimulation of continuing, Wang Minglong decided to stop first.
It wouldn't be good to be rude and delay the next important matter.
Wouldn't it be better to save the spoils of victory for the evening?
He stood up directly, his gaze quickly changing from frivolous to firm, and walked slowly to the center of the dining hall!
Rising up in revolt!
He looked around, took a deep breath, and shouted to most of the people who were looking at him in confusion:
"Are kings and nobles born with a silver spoon in their mouth——!!"
"We have been treated unfairly! We are being exploited! Our value is being denied!"
He pointed to Wang Yang and several other managers, as well as some of Qin Jin's family members, and continued with a firm gaze.
"Why can those people not do heavy work!? Why can they order us around instead of us ordering them around!? Why does the base give us, who do the hardest work, this kind of food!?"
"Why!?"
Directly three soul-searching questions of why.
"Is it just because they are the boss's relatives?"
"Is this fair!?"
"This is not fair!!"
"What we need is fairness!!"
Speaking of the back, he had already stood on the dining table next to him, raising his arms and shouting!
At this time, several good friends and brothers who had agreed to make trouble also quickly echoed: "Yes! It's not fair! What we need is fairness!!"
"Green Source Factory, give us fairness!!"
At this time, Wang Minglong felt that he had been sublimated.
He felt that he must be radiating light now.
Stinging the eyes of those managers and boss's relatives.
Striking at the sin in the depths of their souls.
They should kneel down and confess to him.
He could reluctantly forgive them.
As long as they listened to him in the future, followed him, and licked his feet well, he would consider rewarding them with some benefits.
That's settled.
Clap clap clap clap——
A burst of applause came one after another, it was Li Yan and Wang Minglong's small group clapping.
Seeing Li Yan staring at him with a slightly red and encouraging face, he was even more satisfied, he felt that he had the protagonist's halo.
After becoming a high-level executive of the base in the future, he must reward her well, it was she who awakened the kingly aura in his body.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at Wang Minglong standing on the dining table.
What was this all about!?
Tang Jinming, Wang Minglong's original leader, quickly reacted and ran to Wang Minglong's side, shouting at him with an unkind expression:
"Wang Minglong, get down! Did you hit your head while moving bricks today? Get down now! What are you doing! ?"
Wang Minglong didn't even look at him, still speaking with his nostrils turned to the sky:
"You are not qualified to talk to me about this, if you want to talk, let the person in charge of the base now come and talk to me." Then he continued to maintain that posture.
Tang Jinming was a little dazed, the boss had just gone out, and he was making such a scene at home, how could he explain it to President Qin when he came back!?
After a while, Qin's father was the first to react and walked over by himself. He knew that after his son went out, he was probably the only one who could speak in the entire base.
At this time, he couldn't avoid it, and he winked at Father Zhong and several security team members before walking out.
Soon, Qin's father stood three meters away from Wang Minglong, looking up at this "ambitious" young man, he said slowly:
"This little brother, you can tell me what fairness you want, my son is not here today, I, his father, can take a look for him."
Wang Minglong lowered his head slightly and glanced at Qin's father, thinking for a moment.
He recognized that this was President Qin's father, and his weight was considered acceptable. Currently, this old man was probably the only one who could speak in the entire base.
With a confident tone, he said slowly: "We need fairness, we each need to have independent dormitories, better food, and better working conditions."
"And weapons."
Hua——
Many people in the dining hall couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice when they heard Wang Minglong's conditions.
They were all thinking that this person was probably crazy!?
Qin's father was also stunned for a moment, he didn't seem to expect this person to have such a "格局" idea.
After several seconds, he was amused by the anger.
He suppressed his anger and asked: "Oh, that's a good idea, so young man, how many people do you need in total? How much food and weapons do you need? You give me a number and I'll arrange it."
Wang Minglong was also a little surprised, he didn't expect President Qin's father to be so understanding?
Could it be that he was also convinced by his kingly light just now?
It should be.
He raised his hands high, pointed to his "power", and said loudly to the surroundings:
"We have thirteen people now! Everyone is welcome to join! Of course, the more resources, the better. Anyone else who feels unfairly treated can join us, and I will create a better living environment for everyone!"
Today, he decided to make trouble when eating in the dining hall, mainly because everyone was gathered together and he wanted to absorb more people with the same ideas into their small group.
The more people, the bigger his power would definitely be in the future, and the bigger the cake he could share.
That's what he thought.
Unfortunately.
Apart from the twenty people that Qin Jin took out, there were about sixty people left in the dining hall.
His group of ten or so people were staring at him with idiot-like eyes, and no new people joined at this time.
He was a little unhappy in his heart, these people really didn't know what was good for them, and he would definitely make them look good if he had the opportunity in the future.
Qin's father looked at it, and it seemed that all the people who were making trouble were the people in the corner with Wang Minglong.
He didn't pretend anymore, waved his hand to call the security team who had already arrived to enter the arena, and said loudly:
"Surround them!!"
