"From this moment on, I will become your king. Will you submit?"
Tom's words left the whole room silent. Everyone didn't expect that Tom suddenly came up with a sentence that they couldn't pick up at all.
The first person to react was Ouyang Haotian, who stood up and asked, "An Shitou, which one are you thinking about? This..."
As a result, Shen Jiayi grabbed him, pulled him back, and then looked at Tom.
Tom's face was full of domineering energy, and their eyes collided, but they did not erase the sparks of friction.
For three seconds, Shen Jiayi nodded heavily.
The ordinary people below just erupted. They just drove away the tyrant Shen Liansheng. Why is Tom also coming to become emperor?
The voice of questioning first sounded, and those who expressed their doubts were all those who suffered harm during Shen Liansheng's reign, or suffered damage to their family and friends, or property. Their emotions were also the most intense.
Faced with the questioner's loud scolding, Tom smiled calmly and instead lifted Lin Meiqi's chin in his arms. He asked softly, "I thought you, who came back from a country emitting the fragrance of 'freedom', were the first to jump out and oppose."
Lin Meiqi let out a coquettish snort and leaned her head against his chest, her small feet swaying proudly. "In my heart, you will always be the king. The various demands I make of you do not mean that I do not want you to become my king."
Tom looked up and laughed heartily, put her down, and then patted her buttocks to make her win. Then he stood up, crossed his legs, and his serious gaze swept across the room.
Being swept away by him, those who expressed doubts were all frightened. Some even opened their mouths and shouted, but had to stop their voices, but their mouths remained open.
"From today on, I will be the true Sea King, but not any Poseidon. My honorific name is the Dragon King of Haiwei." Tom waved and a large sword held by the guard flew into his hand with a loud roar. Then he swung it hard towards the ground, and with a loud bang, a palm wide crack was cut out on the high platform.
The dust stirred up made the person at the front look disheveled, but it also frightened everyone.
Shen Liansheng is terrifying, those two giants are terrifying, but the person in front of him killed and ran both of them. Although there is collective credit, even a blind person cannot ignore that strength.
I finally managed to drive away the ogre Shen Liansheng. What if Tom also plays that trick? These are all awakened beings, and their abilities require crystals. Nowadays, the residents in the shelter who have the talent for abilities have long joined Shen Liansheng's army, and the rest are not awakened. Their use is really as crystal feed.
This square is very large, and this trial is related to the issue of the people's suffering and demands in the entire shelter. It can be said that almost all survivors have gathered, with tens of thousands of people.
In addition to the residents, there are also other soldiers around them, especially those led by the former Railway Autonomous Committee, who value freedom even more. It may not be easy for them to bow down and submit.
Once these people take the lead in protesting, then these tens of thousands of people will definitely support them, and the whole situation will be extremely chaotic.
At this critical moment, Shen Jiayi first walked out and knelt down on one knee to Tom in front of everyone, loudly saying, "My Haiwei Dragon King, I am loyal to you on behalf of Haiwei Mini Industry."
Shen Jiayi is indeed his wife, but she is also the owner of this shelter.
With Shen Jiayi taking the lead, Natasha, Wang Zixiong, Pan Ruyi and others gradually walked to the front of the stage, followed Shen Jiayi and knelt down on one knee, swearing allegiance to Tom.
On the side of the stands, the former Railway Autonomous Committee led by Yue Zhenbang frowned one after another. They did not join the ranks of loyalty, and as Yue Zhenbang left, the others also left.
"Bring Ni Peiyun up!" With Tom's command, the hesitant residents below turned their heads.
This woman, who used to be a senior executive of a state-owned enterprise, had to work as a nanny at Yuan Feixing's house after entering the shelter due to her gambling addiction and high debt burden. Because he provided Tom with Luo Xuan's address, Tom felt he owed her a favor and later agreed to go to the animal husbandry farm outside the shelter to find her daughter.
As a result, this woman defected to Wen Yiku early in the morning, but what awaited Tom was a trap. At the request of Wen Yiku, Ni Peiyun personally pushed her daughter Chen Junli into the pit and fed it to the mice.
After Shen Liansheng took power and Wen Yiku ascended to power, Ni Peiyun was appointed as the director of the crystal breeding farm. After the baptism of her daughter's death, this woman has completely become a devil. Many people who were treated as aquatic feed were pushed down by her to become mutated creatures. With the decryption of the flying fish, the residents hated the female devil to the bone, especially the relatives and friends of the deceased who were fed mutated creatures, who wished to eat her flesh and blood raw.
"Ni Peiyun, did you expect to have today?"
At this moment, Ni Peiyun was already covered in white hair, with a haggard face and a gloomy expression. When she saw Tom again, her dim eyes suddenly lit up, but in the next moment, she shrank into a ball of immense fear.
"Daughter... Wow... Daughter... it's Mom's fault, Mom shouldn't have pushed you down... Please forgive Mom... Mom has trouble sleeping and eating every day... Don't hate Mom... Hmm..."
She cried with tears and a runny nose, but Wang Zixiong didn't give her a chance to continue speaking up. He punched her teeth and a cloth ball blocked her mouth.
"I hereby declare that the Sea King's Court will not use anyone's flesh and blood to feed mutated creatures and harvest crystals, even sinners' will not. I... In the name of the Dragon King, I declare Ni Peiyun guilty of crimes against humanity and sentence him to death with immediate execution!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people who had just resisted his claim to the throne immediately cheered along.
The cheers of tens of thousands of people injured in the square echoed through the sky, and everyone on stage seemed to be drowned out by the shouting.
At this moment, Ni Peiyun couldn't pretend anymore. She knelt down and crawled to Tom's feet to protect his leg, while also tearing open the cloth ball and crying, "Please, Tom, don't kill me. I was also forced. At that time, Wen Yi was trying to trick you, but I didn't know. I just followed her orders, and as you can see, she forced me to push my daughter down. I really..."
Tom grabbed her by the throat, cut off her words, and lifted her up whole. "Tiger poison doesn't eat anything. You can even take action against your daughter, so you don't feel any more guilty towards others. I'll execute your death penalty!" He threw her onto the stage, lifting his fist and smashing it hard.
At this point, Tom had reached 270 strength without activating his power boosting ability. With this punch, he smashed her head and her brain was torn apart, splattering blood onto his face.
As he slowly turned around, the emotions of the people below immediately became even higher. At this moment, the cheers reached their peak, and many even cried in pain while shouting with their arms.
That is the release of fear and anger towards the oppression suffered in the past six months, and the cry of regret towards the disappearing family, friends, and neighbors around us.
I don't know who shouted loudly in the crowd, "Long live Your Majesty the Dragon King!"
Although this sound was drowned in the shouting of the crowd, it infected the people around him. As a result, the sound of Long Live seemed like red ink dripping into a basin of water, quickly spreading out.
After a few efforts, everyone shouted "Long live Your Majesty the Dragon King", and even the slogan "Your Majesty the Dragon King unifies the world" came out.
At this moment, the residents of the town accepted Tom's claim to be king, and they were willing to believe Tom's promise, even if Tom wanted to ride on their heads and become the new dictator.
The blood stained Tom's face red, and he quickly wiped the bloodstains that covered his eyes with his hands. Shen Jiayi stood up in time, pulled out the sword from Wang Zixiong's hand next to him, cut open the sleeve, and walked up to wipe the bloodstains on his face.
"My king, you must be strong!"
So, the expected public trial suddenly turned into Tom's Dragon King Oath Ceremony. The public's resistance to this matter was ultimately reversed by Ni Peiyun's blood.
After two years of miniature apocalypse, people have been reduced to around seven centimeters. They have given up the hope of waking up from nightmares and accepted the chaotic, bloody, and cruel reality of the apocalypse. As long as one can survive, what about becoming a slave? Moreover, under the coveting and threats of giant beasts and birds everywhere outside, weak humans want to survive and obtain resources to survive. A centralized social system is actually more advantageous.
With the approval of most people, Tom restarted the trial conference and cleared up a series of people who followed Shen Liansheng's wrongdoing.
In addition to the director Ni Peiyun, the crystal breeding farm also has a series of core members who are tools for Shen Liansheng to monitor and control Ni Peiyun. It can be said that Ni Peiyun, who has broken the jar and fallen, is actually the most innocent person on this line. Since she has been used by Tom to offer sacrifices to the flag, others will definitely not let go.
Under Mr. Wang's insight ability, no one could lie, and he efficiently pulled out all the grasshoppers on this line.
There are a total of 63 people, which is more than everyone expected. They take turns 24 hours to work closely and ensure the normal operation of the breeding farm. They accurately calculate the feeding quantity and harvesting date of each mutated organism to ensure that every person who is eaten is fully utilized.
In addition to crystal farms, there is also a complete system in operation for screening, capturing, and transporting feed for residents. The core personnel of this system have also been selected and pushed to the trial stage to accept the trial of the jury and the people.
This series of settlements dispelled the dissatisfaction and concerns of the people below about Tom's claim to be king.
As for other affiliated institutions, such as the R&D department and logistics department, which do not directly participate in the crystal breeding process, their trials can be postponed for a while.
Just as Tom was about to leave, he saw someone running up to Shen Jiayi and whispering something, so he stopped and watched.
Shen Jiayi immediately walked over and said, "Bai Sifei committed suicide."
