Chapter 19 Who is the person in charge? Come here!

"Attention, Resident A1DK309. Your professional skills do not meet the requirements for the applied position, therefore your application has been rejected again."

"Currently, there are 13 open positions in the Cleaning Department of Area A, Level 12 of the Base. The monthly salary for this position is 2300 points. Would you like to apply immediately?"

The information displayed on the electronic screen once again made Zhao Xinkai's face flush with anger. As a bank manager, he was already worth hundreds of millions.

He usually lived in luxury homes, drove luxury cars, and associated only with the powerful and wealthy. How many people had to humble themselves before him for loans?

Now, an apocalypse had destroyed everything!

After finally arriving at this safe Base, he could only apply for a janitorial position?

How could he accept such a drastic change?

"Damn it, what a shitty Base, go to hell!"

"I'm not going to be a cleaner, I'm a bank manager, a titan of the financial industry, do you even have brains?"

"I want to be in management, who's in charge? Get out here!"

Zhao Xinkai furiously pounded the electronic screen, constantly venting his anger.

Facing the mocking glances of those around him, the fear he had accumulated during this period turned into grief and indignation, making him wish he could tear down this rotten place immediately.

"Warning, warning!"

"Resident A1DK309, please immediately stop your violent behavior of damaging public facilities, otherwise you may violate Base laws and suffer severe punishment!"

"Warning, warning!"

"Resident A1DK309, please immediately stop your violent behavior of damaging public facilities, otherwise you may violate Base laws and suffer severe punishment!"

Adam's face appeared again on all the electronic screens!

The piercing alarm frightened everyone, making them instantly tense. But Zhao Xinkai was not scared; instead, he became even angrier.

"Damn it, who are you trying to scare?"

"Where's the person in charge? Get out here!"

"Do you even know how to select the capable? I want to be in management, now, immediately, quickly!"

Zhao Xinkai angrily kicked the surrounding walls, his emotions gradually spiraling out of control, scaring the people around him who quickly dodged, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

"Third warning, Resident A1DK309, please immediately stop your violent behavior of damaging public facilities, otherwise you may violate Base laws and suffer severe punishment!"

"Warning procedure ended, punishment procedure initiated!"

Adam's mechanical voice repeated continuously.

After the third warning ended, hidden hanging machine guns suddenly emerged from the steel walls above the corridor, directly aiming at Zhao Xinkai.

"No! No! No!"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I was wrong!"

"Hey, hey, hey, no!"

Zhao Xinkai shivered with fear. Having calmed down, he almost collapsed to the ground. But no matter how much he pleaded, it was useless.

The punishment procedure had already begun, and the machine guns immediately opened fire.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A roaring sound erupted, and flames spewed from the muzzles.

Dense bullets, like raindrops, directly riddled him like a beehive.

"Resident A1DK309 confirmed deceased, punishment procedure ended!"

Adam's cold voice echoed throughout the Base! The machine guns above retracted into the steel plates and disappeared without a trace.

Only a blood-soaked corpse remained, twitching on the ground. This scene sent shivers down many people's spines, filling them with dread.

"Holy moly, holy moly, murder, the AI committed murder!"

"We won't be killed too, will we? That's terrifying!"

"Don't be afraid! This Zhao Xinkai brought it upon himself, he wouldn't listen to warnings and damaged public equipment. If he doesn't die, who will?"

"Exactly, haven't you watched sci-fi movies? AI strictly enforces management regulations, whoever causes trouble gets killed!"

"Phew! Luckily, we didn't cause trouble. As long as we follow the rules, we should be fine!"

Everyone discussed in awe, their respect for this Base growing once again.

In these times, killing was not illegal.

Previously, damaging public facilities outside would at most lead to imprisonment and fines.

Causing trouble here, however, meant paying with one's life.

...

Inside the wartime Command Center, Ji Yan silently observed the situation in the living area through surveillance footage.

He had personally witnessed Zhao Xinkai's every self-destructive action.

He had not interfered with the resettlement of new residents.

However, he was very satisfied with the actions of Adam and Vermilion Bird.

Thousands of people were organized orderly under their arrangement. After distributing a series of simple nutritious meals, thousands of survivors settled down on their first night at the Base.

"Reporting, Commander!" Azure Dragon now stepped forward to report: "The Zombies outside the Base have been cleared, a total of 21,532 crystals were harvested, and the crisis has been resolved."

"Hmm!"

Ji Yan smiled with satisfaction.

Zombies mainly gathered through sound and smell.

The spread of sound was limited in range and distance.

All the Zombies that could be attracted to the outside of the Base had already been killed.

For a short period, it was in a safe state.

As night fell, Zombies became more bloodthirsty and frenzied. If an endless army of Zombies continued to arrive, his few hundred soldiers would not be able to hold out for long.

"A good harvest, but it's a pity that we didn't have time to dig for crystals from the Zombies killed on the way, wasting quite a bit," Ji Yan grumbled discontentedly: "Adam, was the loss in Dongjiang City significant during this Zombie Storm?"

"Replying, Master!" Adam analyzed: "Due to the internet outage, it's impossible to monitor the City's situation, but based on various signs, when the Zombie virus first erupted, approximately 56% of the people mutated."

"At the same time, 26% of the people were attacked and mutated in the sudden Zombie Storm. At least over 8.5 million people in the City turned into Zombies."

"Currently, the number of survivors in the urban area is rapidly decreasing, the exact number cannot be calculated, but it is estimated to be around 1.7 million people."

"Phew!"

Ji Yan sighed silently, but his heart remained calm!

Overnight, millions of people turned into Zombies, and more than half of the City's population was lost.

Who could withstand such a virus?

Zombies themselves were not terrifying; what was terrifying was that many people were unprepared.

The initial outbreak of Zombies always resulted in the most severe casualties.

Only when survivors understood the Zombies' patterns and became bolder would the casualty rate gradually decrease.

In the coming period, many people's lives would undergo drastic changes.

An epic saga of humanity fighting against Zombies was just beginning.
