“Hello, I’m Zhang Lunping. This is my wife, Zhou Yanni, and that’s my daughter, Zhang Wenqi…”
“Hello, Brother Zhang, Sister Zhou. I’m Shen Zhaozhao. I used to work on the floor above at Tianyu Planning. Thanks to Chairman ng, I was saved. How about you two?”
“……”
Due to his experience as an HR manager, Zhang Lunping was adept at social interactions and quickly beca acquainted with Shen Zhaozhao. Their interaction was quite pleasant.
Zhou Yanni quietly stayed in a corner, holding a ballpoint pen and writing sothing, but her full attention was on her daughter, Zhang Wenqi.
The child’s illness wasn’t improving. Although she was deeply worried, there was little she could do. Despite giving cold and fever dicine, her daughter’s condition had only slightly improved. Zhang Wenqi remained in a state of drowsiness, occasionally clear and sotis confused, making Zhou Yanni anxious about potential side effects.
However, in this apocalyptic world, finding a doctor was nearly impossible.
“Sister Zhou, are you worried about your child?” Shen Zhaozhao seed to notice Zhou Yanni’s concern and imdiately approached her, whispering, “We still have so dicine in the office. Just let us know if you need any. There’s a clinic nearby, but I don’t know if the doctor is still around.”
“If we’re caught whispering by Chairman ng, will we be…”
Zhou Yanni glanced nervously at ng Xu outside, who was currently lecturing the zombie employees, her body trembling slightly with fear.
Yes.
She had never seen a human who could reason with zombies!
Moreover, this boss seed a bit unstable… terrifying, utterly terrifying!
Seeing Zhou Yanni’s reaction, Shen Zhaozhao also glanced at ng Xu outside, then smiled gently.
“Sister Zhou, don’t be fooled by the boss’s… ntal state. He’s actually very kind. At least he hasn’t chopped us to pieces with his axe. He provided us with a safe area, and we don’t lack food or water.”
“The reason he gives us seemingly aningless tasks… maybe it’s to prevent us from being idle and constantly anxious. I think it’s understandable. After all, if the boss isn’t around, we’d be prone to overthinking and fear. Since being saved by the boss, I feel much better now.”
Shen Zhaozhao’s voice was quiet, but with only three people in the office, her words reached everyone’s ears.
Zhang Lunping deeply agreed with Shen Zhaozhao’s assessnt.
ng Xu might seem eccentric, but he was genuinely kind-hearted. Under ng Xu’s protection, there was a comforting warmth. Without ng Xu, Zhang Lunping might have been disemboweled by zombies on the day he left his ho, dying a grueso death.
“Actually…”
Shen Zhaozhao sighed deeply, looking out at ng Xu with eyes that sparkled like little stars. “Chairman ng probably has imnse pressure, so he has to let himself go a bit. Venting is the best way to release pent-up emotions. He carries so much on his shoulders, erging from dire situations and killing countless zombies. He’s truly remarkable!”
“Our Chairman ng is great, no need for further words!”
“……”
Zhang Lunping nodded in agreent.
Hearing Shen Zhaozhao and Zhang Lunping’s words, Zhou Yanni also paused and looked toward ng Xu.
After listening to their conversation, Zhou Yanni felt sowhat reassured. She glanced at ng Xu, who was outside reprimanding the zombies, and suddenly thought that this seemingly crazy chairman might not be so scary after all.
The light of greatness and the beautiful virtues of humanity were radiating brightly.
…
“I told you two to clean up the bodies, and you decided to bite them instead?! Eating them clean counts as cleaning to you?!”
ng Xu, radiating that great light, was now holding a fire axe, scolding Zhang Tao, whose head was already bent, with clear dissatisfaction.
Just monts ago, after understanding the desires of Chi Wei and Zhang Tao, ng Xu had painted them a vision, promising them good food if they worked hard and cleared the nearby bodies.
But unexpectedly, after ng Xu’s directive, the forr manager Zhang Tao imdiately started chomping on the two zombie corpses in the adjacent office.
This scene left ng Xu speechless. He quickly shouted to stop and began to scold them severely.
Even though they had beco zombies lying on the ground, ng Xu couldn’t tolerate his zombie employees eating raw at and behaving like savages.
He was a normal person, and he couldn’t stand such things!
Faced with ng Xu’s reprimands, the two zombies remained silent and focused on their work, staring intently at ng Xu as if sothing about him were extrely attractive to them.
Not even a growl.
Seeing this, ng Xu was intrigued.
What’s up with these two zombies?
They’re so quiet and efficient!
Chi Wei even moved faster, and more actively than Zhang Tao.
As ng Xu pondered this, he noticed a new ssage appearing in the desire boxes of both Chi Wei and Zhang Tao
【Desire: Evolution Crystal.】
ng Xu was montarily stunned.
Quickly realizing sothing, he took out the red gemstone he had retrieved from the mutant zombie’s head during his journey. He held it and weighed it in his hand.
Upon seeing the gemstone in ng Xu’s hand, Zhang Tao and Chi Wei beca agitated, clearly drawn to it.
“So, it’s this they want.”
ng Xu had an epiphany. He tied the gemstone to a string, much like a bait on a fishing rod, and draped it over his back.
Walking ahead, Chi Wei and Zhang Tao, drawn by the gemstone, forgot about their -100 affection level and began dragging bodies, following ng Xu downstairs.
ng Xu, pleased with the outco, knocked on the office door and said, “You three in there, once you finish the contracts, clean up the office on the right. Improve it a bit. Don’t touch the half-zombie in the left office yet.”
Without waiting for a response from Shen Zhaozhao and the others, ng Xu continued escorting the two zombies to begin the cleanup.
His goal was to thoroughly clean the fourth floor within three days and transform this space into his company’s territory. ng Xu was filled with ambition.
Only after tidying up the entire building could he move on to the next phase.
Survival wasn’t about sitting back and depleting resources; it was about self-sustainability.
Food was a necessity—zombies could starve, but humans couldn’t.
He couldn’t always rely on the lottery for food; those rewards were for ergencies.
Self-reliance was key, involving gathering seeds for planting and collecting water resources.
Of course, ng Xu wouldn’t handle these tasks himself.
That’s what employees are for.
What kind of chairman does the tedious work?
His primary focus at the mont was…
The red gemstone.
What exactly is this thing?
He lightly squeezed the gemstone, finding it not too hard, almost like a piece of candy. If dropped, it might shatter.
Such a lightweight and mysterious item indeed.
But ng Xu was the type to get to the bottom of things.
