Wang Le thought Yang Xiao was here to snatch the food.

In the post-apocalyptic world, the scarcest and most precious commodity is food.

Yang Xiao gave a faint smile, reached out to pat Wang Le’s shoulder, and comforted:

"Don’t be afraid. As long as you listen to me, I won’t kill you."

Upon hearing this, everyone finally let out a sigh of relief; as long as they were alive, that was what mattered.

"Brother Yang, if you have any orders, just say the word."

"Boss, there are enemies attacking us in the outside corridor, but we’ve repelled them."

A subordinate hurried over to report to Yang Xiao.

"Defend the passageways of the underground mall corridor, all the way to the entrance of the main hall plaza. Show no mercy to those who dare to challenge us."

Before entering, Yang Xiao had already figured out an exit strategy; he couldn’t possibly let himself be trapped inside by the enemy, right?

"Yes, rest assured, boss."

The three hundred men that Yang Xiao brought with him were all elite soldiers. As long as they could hold a few key passages in the underground mall, they essentially had control over Chen Jun’s former troops.

The sound of fighting in the corridors gradually lessened. Yang Xiao’s men did not continue to pursue Chen Jun’s subordinates, and Chen Jun’s former troops, not knowing what had happened, were also at a loss.

In the end, it was the lack of fighting spirit. How could those who hibernated in the underground mall for several months still have the drive and courage to fight?

Yang Xiao glanced over the people in the room, and spoke indifferently:

"I’m not here for revenge, nor am I here to take your food,"

Wang Le and the others were stunned. ’Damn, what is he doing here? He surely didn’t come here for a tourist visit, did he?’

"I am here specifically to recruit you."

"Recruit?"

Wang Le and the others stared at Yang Xiao in confusion.

"What, haven’t you ever been to school? Don’t you even know what ’recruit’ means?"

Wang Le replied with a wry smile:

"Brother Yang, if you’ve come to borrow food, we naturally wouldn’t dare refuse. There’s no need to disguise it as recruitment. Your combat strength far surpasses ours. Right now, we don’t even have Hard Armor to keep warm; we can’t even leave this ground level mall. What’s the point of recruiting us?"

Yang Xiao said loudly:

"If this cold winter lasts for 2 years, 3 years, do you plan to huddle in this underground mall forever?"

"This?"

Wang Le gave a bitter smile:

"Who the hell wants to be cooped up in the ground level mall every day? It was barely tolerable for a day or two, a week or two, but it’s been half a year now; people are almost driven mad. We even dream of going outside to build snowmen and have snowball fights."

Pfft!

Yang Xiao and his men couldn’t help but laugh, greatly lightening the killing aura in the room.

"Then let me tell you, if you continue to be so passive, you will never get out of this underground mall. Also, you might be using floor heating, but you still need a small amount of electricity, right? Whether you’re burning gasoline or diesel, there will be a day when it’s used up. And your food supplies will also run out one day. Staying in the underground mall is like waiting to die, do you understand?"

Wang Le and the others clearly understood Yang Xiao’s words. However, hearing these words coming from Yang Xiao’s mouth was more impactful because, at present, Yang Xiao controlled their fate.

"Just like now, I can kill and humiliate you at will. Do you have the strength to resist? You can’t even walk out of an underground mall; like a bunch of rats trapped below the surface, what can you achieve?"

Wang Le and the others turned pale and lowered their heads.

"Following Chen Jun, you only have a dead end. By following our boss, only then will you have a future. Wang Le, you probably don’t know yet, but Xia Luo of Xianan University is such a proud person, and even she has submitted to our boss, looking up to him alone."

"A few days ago, our boss led people from Xianan University and severely beat the invaders from the city district. Now, even those sons of bitches from the city district dare not mess with our boss."

Long Yongjun said proudly on the side.

Hearing this sent a shock through Wang Le and the others.

Wang Le and several higher-ups had been to Xianan University before. At that time, Xia Luo was so energetic and proud that he couldn’t even be spoken to, and now even Xia Luo had submitted to Yang Xiao.

"Is that true?"

An ex-member of Chen Jun blurted out.

"You still don’t believe me? If you don’t, then tomorrow morning, activate the Transmission Array and go to Xianan University yourself to ask about this matter."

Long Yongjun roared.

Yang Xiao patted Wang Le on the shoulder:

"I need you to do me a favor now."

"Brother Yang, what is it? Just give the order."

"I know you have always been deeply trusted by Jun brother, and everyone respects you too,"

"That’s not it. I’m just a runner."

"Then I’ll trouble you to run another errand. Go out and tell your comrades that from now on, as long as you do not attack our people first, we will definitely not harm any of you. Also, tell everyone that Chen Jun has been killed by me."

Wang Le was stunned and said:

"Can we not mention the news about Jun brother?"

"It’s okay. I want to cut off all their hopes. Anyone who’s not afraid of dying and wants to seek revenge can step forward."

Wang Le could only say:

"Okay, I will do my best to pass on the message."

Wang Le left the room and went to several corridors to reassure his people, with Long Yongjun following closely behind Wang Le, not letting him go too far.

Wang Le relayed the message in several corridors, and then they passed it on to each other.

After receiving the promise that Yang Xiao would not pursue them, the fear in everyone’s hearts finally lessened somewhat. The corridors quieted down, but they still remained on alert.

Wang Le returned to the room. Yang Xiao ordered everyone to release Chen Jun’s subordinates, and after they were disarmed, they stood on one side of the room while Yang Xiao’s men kept watch around them.

"Alright, now let’s talk about my proposals. I have two options. The first one, I guarantee that within a month, I can let all 2,000 of you from the underground marketplace go outside and freely breathe the air, roam freely, enjoy the snow, have snowball fights, and make snowmen."

Wang Le and the others were shaken, thinking, damn, could this be a trick?

"The second option, you don’t have to submit to me. A melon forced is not sweet; I won’t force you. However, I will take away half of your food supply tomorrow. But I believe you won’t survive half a year, either freezing to death or starving to death in the underground marketplace. Of course, tomorrow you can also resist me taking away your food. I don’t want to talk too much. Long Yongjun, bring over the gasoline."

Long Yongjun opened the door, gestured to a team outside, and immediately ten people, each carrying a 10-kilogram can of gasoline, came in.

"Open the lids, let them smell it and see if it’s gasoline?"

The ten people opened the lids, and instantly a smell of gasoline rushed out.

Wang Le immediately said:

"Brother Yang, we believe you, it’s gasoline, it’s gasoline. Quickly put it away, don’t let it catch fire. This is an underground marketplace. Once it catches fire, everyone will be burned to death inside."

Yang Xiao gave a faint smile and said:

"If anyone dares to resist tomorrow, I will directly burn down this underground marketplace and turn you all into roasted pigs!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Le and the others shuddered and shivered with cold.
