Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System-Chapter 250: Conscription of Wives and Daughters

The old man looked at the confrontational groups with a slight frown. He knew that such an arrangement would surely provoke strong dissatisfaction among the fishermen and indigenous people, but he had no choice.

Fetching women from the mainland was not as simple as it seemed. He hadn't expected the situation on the mainland to be so dire. Leaving the safety of the ocean for a land infested with zombies required immense courage, and he wasn't willing to take such risks.

The escalating disputes over women had made him realize the urgency of addressing the issue. If the problem of women's allocation wasn't resolved, the refuge on this island would inevitably erupt into a massive conflict.

"As long as you're willing to hand over the women, I can give each man among you who has a woman ten military merit cards and one hundred resource cards!" The old man continued in a cold tone.

"Moreover, there are several of you who don't have wives, right? Don't you want to share in the benefits? Having a woman is every man's right. Women are our common resource, and no man should have exclusive rights."

This was coercion! The conditions offered by the old man were already quite generous: ten military merit cards and one hundred resource cards could allow a man to live comfortably on the island for three months without doing anything. With some frugality, it could last even half a year.

"Even if you have a wife, having just one woman or the freedom to choose from over thirty women, think about it yourselves—whether you're at a disadvantage or gaining. Moreover, as leaders here, the upper class, don't you want to learn and experience with other men's wives? Don't you want a change in taste? Just like us, you're part of the upper class. Clearly, my policy is more advantageous for you!

As for those ordinary survivors, in the future, they won't even have enough to eat. Who would have military merit cards and resource cards to claim your women? In the end, these women will belong to all of us present here."

"As for some of you having daughters, it's a natural step for a man to marry and a woman to wed. There must be a man for your daughters. Let them become wives to the outstanding men here. It's good to pamper and take care of them together. At least, you won't worry about food and clothing, and there's no need to venture outside. Being alive is better than being dead, right?"

Every word from the old man was like a dagger to the heart, causing hesitation among the initially fierce fishermen. Only Gao Yongseng remained with an angry expression, biting down hard, clearly expressing his opposition.

Gao Yongseng deeply loved his wife. She was so beautiful, and he couldn't bear the thought of sharing her with others. He had promised his wife that he would protect her and not let any man bully her. But now, these people wanted to share his wife!

Thinking about the atrocities these pirate thugs committed against women and then thinking about his own wife, Gao Yongseng couldn't help but shiver uncontrollably. This was something he absolutely couldn't tolerate.

"Captain, whatever decisions others make, I don't care. But my wife, I will absolutely not let you take her away!" Gao Yongseng declared resolutely.

This towering and robust man emitted a murderous aura that even made Hong Fei and the others feel a sense of unease.

"Is that so?" The old man coldly looked at Gao Yongseng. "Are you refusing to follow my arrangement? Refusing to give me face?"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, several straight-backed and resolute-looking guards behind him stepped forward. They stared coldly at Gao Yongseng, their rifles seeming ready to point at him at any moment.

"Captain, what do you mean by this?" Gao Yongseng clenched his fists, nervously observing the soldiers. While he wasn't afraid of rifles, these soldiers were all espers with formidable combat abilities. Coupled with the unpredictable strength of the old man, he was certainly no match for them.

The fishermen behind him had already begun to retreat, showing signs of submission. Faced with the powerful old man and the terrifying force he commanded, they had already figured out how to choose.

Moreover, there was a group of thugs waiting to pounce on them, eager to finish them off, like venomous snakes ready to strike. These people stared intently, waiting for the old man's command. Once given, Gao Yongseng would undoubtedly meet his end.

"Captain Gao, rest assured, we all know your wife is the most beautiful woman here. I won't mistreat you. If you cooperate with my arrangement, I'll immediately promote you to captain, and I'll double the military merit cards and resource cards for you."

"However, if you persist in your stubbornness, don't blame me for being ruthless!" The old man finished speaking, and a burst of pressure emanated from him, instantly suppressing Gao Yongseng, who couldn't lift his head.

On the display screen behind the old man, a long barrel appeared, aimed at the residential area where the fishermen and natives lived.

This was coercion.

Gao Yongseng looked at the screen, focusing on the barrel pointed at the residential area.

There were his subordinates and friends who supported him, and also his wife!

As soon as the shells were fired, that place would become a living hell!

Gao Yongseng had no doubt that under such a barrage of shells, everyone there would turn into ruins!

Including his wife, Ko Dianli!

"You!" Gao Yongseng looked at the old man with a face full of disbelief, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

The tightly clenched fist oozed blood slowly.

A difficult choice!

Enormous pain!

Gao Yongseng felt trapped, making him wish for death!

If it was just his own life, he would unhesitatingly choose to protect his wife with all his might.

But, that was more than a hundred lives!

He was terrified!

"Well..." Finally, Gao Yongseng lowered his proud head and chose to compromise.

"Very good! The wise man is a hero! Captain Gao, you've done well! Rest assured, in a couple of days, I will personally organize a team to take everyone to Magic City to collect supplies and survivors! By then, you, Captain Gao, will be the first to enjoy the pleasure of learning core values with the women we find!"

The man referred to as the captain, the old man, smiled indifferently and once again made promises to everyone.

Seeing this, Alex couldn't help but sneer.

If this old man truly intended to lead a team to search for supplies and women, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to implement this arrangement!

Obviously, the old man had no intention of taking risks on the mainland in the short term.

Even if there were plans to take risks, the old man would definitely not go personally!

The strength of the old man, though formidable, was not something he would risk using in places like Magic City without hesitation. Read the latest on novelbuddy.com

Even in the face of A-level zombies, the old man might not necessarily be at a disadvantage.

However, the old man was unaware of all this, completely in the dark!

Alex knew the situation in Magic City.

But the old man and the people here were clueless.

In their eyes, Magic City, like other cities, was now a living hell overrun by zombies.

It was pitch black, full of danger!

Nobody wanted to take the risk.

After all, they were living well now! They lacked neither food nor water.

Living in villas, they enjoyed a luxurious life and the best treatment.

Even before the apocalypse, life probably wasn't as comfortable and carefree.
