Their faces turning pale, Gu Manzi and Tong Xiaoyun covered their mouths, before running out of the factory and vomiting right outside. They had assumed that they had already seen the worst of humanity in terms of cruelty and insanity, but what they saw in the factory went way beyond their belief. At that moment, they knew that they had truly been very fortunate.
“Damn you, Lie Tianyang, I will definitely kill you!”
Yue Zhong had also thought that he was mentally prepared, but even he had fight back against the vomit rising in his throat. He began to harbor a strong killing intent towards Lie Tianyang, whose depravity was beyond human. If he appeared in front of Yue Zhong again, Yue Zhong certainly would not hesitate to give his it all and get rid of that beast.
Inside the processing factory, there were a few dozen female bodies that were hung up. At the same time, Yue Zhong and his team found a huge cage behind the factory, inside of which were 20 women full of fear and unease. A large number of them even seemed to have lost their minds.
“What do we do? Shall we kill them, Boss Yue?” Xiong Zheng asked with great difficulty.
Clear Wind Camp did not have ample rations to begin with, therefore Xiong Zheng was not willing to retain these 20 women to partake in the rations. To him, these clearly unsound women had no value and taking care of them would just require more resources.
Yue Zhong looked at those naked women with filthy bodies, some of whom might have gone crazy, and rejected Xiong Zheng’s proposal,
“No, bring them back and take good care of them. They are women so they still can help to give birth.”
Xiong Zheng hesitated for a moment, before pointing towards a storage facility and asking,
“What about those?”
Inside the storage facility, there were a few tonnes of human meat sausages. During periods of food shortage, if Yue Zhong and Xiong Zheng were to play dumb and distribute the sausages out, no one would ever know. Even if they were to find out, they would feign ignorance. Without meat, it was not like they would die from hunger, but they would not have much energy.
Lie Tianyang wanted to maintain the energy of his elite troops and so he constantly fed them the human sausages. Of course, there were members of the troops who could not accept or stomach such vile acts, and they would rather stay weak and hungry than eat human meat.
Yue Zhong said in a deep voice, “Bury them all.”
“Yes.” Xiong Zheng also heaved a sigh of relief and took his men with him to bury those sickening things.
The moment Yue Zhong left the factory which was filled with evilness, Gu Manzi and Tong Xiaoyun immediately grabbed hold of either of his arms, their faces pale. Only by doing were they able to gain a little bit of their courage back. Yue Zhong gently patted their backs to console them, before taking big strides to leave the place.
The second day, Yue Zhong started recruiting fighters from the survivors.
After the apocalypse, fighters received the best treatment and also possessed the strongest battle abilities. The moment Yue Zhong opened up recruitment, a lot of survivors fought with each other in order to volunteer first.
Amongst the 2000 survivors, there were about 1200 males, 1000 of whom were fully-grown men. Lie Tianyang wasn’t an idiot and had already selected a good number of strong and able-bodied men to be his subordinates or members of his Green Wolves Mount. The majority if the men left were either malnourished, weak or lacking in stature.
Yue Zhong was very careful with his selection and managed to choose about 450 males with great difficulty. A total of 400 people, together with Liu Erhei, Zhang Niujiang and Xiong Zheng, formed one of his battalions.
Liu Erhei, Zhang Niujiang and Xiong Zheng were Commanders, whilst Yue Zhong acted as the Direct Company Leader.
The other 50 males were given to Wang Jian for training so that they could become qualified policemen. Wang Jian was an upright and moral person, thus Yue Zhong assigned him to be the Chief Policeman of Clear Wind Camp.
With the open-minded and morally upright Wang Jian as the head of the police, the policemen trained by him would at least make Yue Zhong feel a bit more reassured.
Due to the shortage of manpower, the clever and meticulous Chen Ming was promoted to become the Officer for Internal Affairs within the camp. He was responsible for managing internal affairs, organizing personnel, the overall distribution of resources and a series of other jobs.
