Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Three Articles of Covenant

Yang Xiao thought for a moment and said:

"Have other regions not crowned their kings yet?"

"There are many regions where kings have emerged, but many still without one. Even if every human-inhabited place has a king with the King’s Aura to disperse the dense fog from the sky, don’t forget that the land only accounts for one-third of Earth’s territory, and the area currently occupied by surviving humans is just one-tenth of the land’s surface. Even if parts are starting to thaw, it is still a far cry from the whole Earth thawing out."

"Alright, even if what you say is true, as a saying goes among us humans, winter has come, can spring be far behind? Now that sunlight has begun to shine on the land, I believe that eventually, winter will gradually retreat."

...

After Yang Xiao’s king’s ceremony concluded, he gathered the leaders of various strongholds for a meeting.

"According to the population census reported by all the strongholds, we have a total of over 23,000 people in Nanmu City, including 8,000 women and over 15,000 men. First, I want to clarify one thing: men and women are free to love and do as they please, but in my jurisdiction, it is absolutely forbidden for men to force themselves on women. Anyone who dares to violate this rule will be executed without mercy."

Yang Xiao has always harbored a profound hatred for such occurrences. Moreover, in this post-apocalyptic world where men outnumber women, problems are bound to arise if strict measures aren’t enforced in this regard.

After making this statement, female representatives like Huang Wen and Chen Fei immediately gave Yang Xiao a thumbs up.

Yang Xiao suddenly was reminded of Liu Bang’s ’Three Articles for the People of Xianyang’ after he conquered Xianyang, and continued:

"In addition to not allowing violations between men and women, murders will be met with death, and thieves will have their hands chopped off. Starting now, these are the three laws of Nanmu City. Should anyone dare to disobey, regardless of who it is, they must be punished severely, including all the responsible persons present here. Everyone must comply."

The crowd was initially stunned, followed by a round of enthusiastic applause.

Although everyone harbors evil thoughts, desiring to infringe upon others without punishment, they also crave a sense of safety, hoping not to be violated by others. Yang Xiao’s three laws provided everyone with a sense of fairness and justice.

In rebuilding a post-apocalyptic world, the most crucial aspect is the reconstruction of human morality and rules.

"Besides the three laws just mentioned, let’s discuss more crucial matters, which is how to obtain more Genetic Fragments to enhance our Genetic Evolution. In the current situation - a world of ice and snow - it’s temporarily impossible to find more outdoor Mutant Monsters. In the rivers, however, there is an abundance of Ice Fish.

Star River runs through about 50 kilometers of Nanmu City’s territory. We’ve already dug up about ten kilometers of Ice Fish, leaving around 40 kilometers yet to be explored. Within our own jurisdiction, people from all strongholds can freely dig for Ice Fish, which serves two purposes: to store food and to obtain Hard Armor for the cold. I hope that in 1 to 3 months, every one of the over 20,000 people in Nanmu City can wear Hard Armor for warmth so that everyone can leave their houses and be active outdoors.

Only when everyone is able to venture outdoors can the people from each stronghold organize teams to hunt Mutant Monsters. To my knowledge, many mountains, fields, and forests are home to various mutant creatures such as wild boars, rabbits, mice, etc."

The leader of the Northern Suburb’s thirteen strongholds strongly agreed with Yang Xiao’s proposal and immediately indicated that they would start digging for Ice Fish from the following day.

Representatives from the Old City District also said that people in the subway tunnels have long wished to come out and will come to dig for Ice Fish in large numbers.

Finally, Xia Luo and others also agreed, striving to dispatch as many people as possible to dig for Ice Fish, so that in the shortest time, everyone can wear Hard Armor for warmth. Only then will the entire population of Nanmu City be truly liberated, naturally leading to a multi-fold increase in Combat Power.

"Just imagine, if all of our 20,000-plus people could participate in a battle, what kind of Combat Power would that be?"

Regarding the resources at Star Moon Lake 30 kilometers away, Yang Xiao and others like Xia Luo negotiated and decided to first send someone to explore Star Moon Town and attempt to open a transportation portal between the two places, and then send people to dig for Ice Fish at Star Moon Lake.

After the meeting concluded, everyone went about their business, and Yang Xiao’s three laws quickly spread among all the people, receiving unanimous support.

Yang Xiao proceeded to the Genetic Store, where Gu Bo had now replaced the previous owner and was running the storefront activity at the plaza. Gu Heng had moved on to the Kongming Academy stronghold.

Seeing Yang Xiao, Gu Bo smiled and said:

"How does it feel to be imbued with the King’s Aura?"

"Heh, it feels alright; it’s just additional responsibility. According to my own wishes, wouldn’t it be more carefree and joyous to be a lone wanderer?"

"But you’re not one."

"Indeed, it’s not because I’m particularly noble, but because in this post-apocalyptic world, wanderers can hardly survive on their own. We must stick together to live since we’re not only changing ourselves but also the environment."

Gu Bo nodded in agreement.

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

"Old Gu, do you remember the reward you promised me?"

Gu Bo smiled in response:

"You’re too cunning, you’ve made a big profit. I originally thought that when you claimed the title of Nanmu City King, you would, at most, be at the Peak of the Primordial Gene Primary Stage. Now look, you’ve entered the Intermediate Stage. I now need to fulfill my promise to help elevate you to the High-Level Stage; you’ve hit the jackpot. Normally, through the natural Evolution pathway, it would take at least a million Genetic Fragments."

Yang Xiao laughed; he too knew that this time he had indeed made a big profit.
