The next day, the renovation work at the sewer entrance was already in progress. Several armed men with the Qian Corporation logo had already occupied the entrance. From the busy construction vehicles and the workers who were setting up the polythene boards, it could be seen that Qian Wu valued this trade route very much.
When the soldier in full combat uniform saw Li Xing walk over, he raised his hand and signaled him to stop. He also showed his genetic ID. After confirming that Li Xing's genetic ID was the VIP that the boss had instructed, the soldier stood at attention and saluted. Then, he stepped aside and let Li Xing pass.
Although it was a consortium's mode of operation, these private armed forces already had the quality of an army. This made Li Xing have a new understanding of the strength of the Sixth Street.
On the surface, it was the Militia protecting the Sixth Street, but in reality, the real combat power was actually the private troops of the consortia that actually controlled the street. In that case, the militia were more like the police.
If these soldiers were to face the mountain of flesh, they probably wouldn't have to struggle as hard as the militia.
The reconstruction of the sewer had not yet begun. When Li Xing jumped onto the moss-covered cement road, his surroundings were still dark. He turned on the tactical flashlight and the 3D map in the holographic computer. After confirming the route, Li Xing began to move in the direction of home.

Ever since they were brought into the isolation room by the militia, everyone had an ominous feeling in their heads. It also confirmed their hunch that everyone had been diagnosed with a high-risk unknown virus. Next, there were a few people in white coats who were dressed like doctors. They directed a few soldiers who had undergone genetic enhancement and pressed them onto the fixed bed. When they regained consciousness, everyone felt an inexplicable soreness at the back of their necks.
"You've already been injected with the slavery chip. I don't think I need to explain further. You will be taken to your new master later, you pigs…" Chen Tianhao could still clearly remember the cold and disdainful look in his eyes. Indeed, to the neighborhood, they were a bunch of pigs who wasted food.
This was a conspiracy!
However, no one stood up to resist.
They were no longer the newcomers who had just arrived at the base. Ever since they accepted the so-called minimum living allowance, freedom had been cut off from them. If they didn't have a job, the nutrient supply allowance of one tube per day could only barely keep them from starving to death…
At this moment, everyone was squatting in a circle. Beside them stood six soldiers in black combat uniforms. Although some people guessed that the Qian Corporation had bought them, when they saw the pile of supplies at the side, they only thought that they were just sold to others like goods.
"Honey, did they do anything to you?”Thomas held his wife's hand worriedly.
Hand.
"No, I fainted after being injected with a sedative. When I woke up, I was just like you. I just felt a little uncomfortable at the back of my neck.”In order to not let her husband worry, Zhou Jie gently held his hand and answered gently.
"Young couple, hurry up and be intimate. Hehe, maybe we'll be sold somewhere to be laborers later. Hehe, he was a man, after all. A woman, hehe…" The middle-aged man who was squatting at the side grinned and said with a smile.
"Say another one?" Thomas could feel his wife's hands trembling. He could not help but feel a fire burning in his heart as he glared at the man.
"What, you want to fight?" The middle-aged man curled his lips listlessly and pointed at the back of his neck with his index finger." Come on, I won't fight back. Let's see if you die first or I die first."”
Slaves were the private property of their masters. If there was a private fight between slaves, both sides would usually be executed.
The guard had already noticed the commotion here and moved his gun over in a threatening manner. These people were the goods of the boss's distinguished guests. If anything happened to them, they would be punished.
Thomas clenched his fists, but he had no choice but to give up. Seeing that Cheng Weiguo didn't flare up, the other slaves lost interest and stopped paying attention to him.
The group of people here were all elites from before the war. Before the war, they had also been dressed in suits and entered high-end places. Everyone was elegant, but now, they had been destroyed by the apocalypse. Their bodies had been hit and they had become walking corpses in the apocalypse.
Suddenly, the guards standing around moved. The six men stood in a row with their rifles. After bowing to a young man, they got into a small truck and drove away.
———
What did it feel like to be stared at by thirty pairs of eyes?
In fact, he didn't feel anything. Especially when he knew that he had the life and death of these thirty people in his hands, this coldness was especially strong.
Sighing, Li Xing threw the abnormal feeling in his heart to the back of his mind. He did not want to become a cold-blooded and numb person from the apocalypse. He still had a way out. He still had the entire civilized world behind him, so if possible, he wanted to make more changes to this world.
After calming himself down, Li Xing glanced at the cowering figures and slowly took a deep breath.
"Alright, look at me. I'm your future master.”Li Xing clapped his hands and shouted.
The voice echoed in the dark sewer, sounding very strange.
"I know you have a lot of questions in your hearts, such as whether you will be pulled to a certain place as bait or go to the front line with rifles as cannon fodder. Fortunately, I can tell you responsibly that I won't!”
Li Xing could clearly feel that everyone was relieved. The 30 heart-rate-related indicators displayed on the PC had also slowed down a lot.
A smug smile appeared on Li Xing's face as he took a deep breath and continued to preach loudly.
" You're really lucky because I'm your master. I believe you'll realize this soon. If you work for me, I won't let you starve. I'll even let you live a rich life that you didn't even dare to imagine before. But…"
At this point, Li Xing slowed down his speech and deliberately lowered his voice, artificially adding a touch of coldness to his tone.
"I'm a very tolerant and kind person, but the only thing I can't tolerate is betrayal. I believe you know what kind of chip is installed on the back of your neck. To me, you have no privacy. There was no punishment other than death for traitors and those with evil intentions.”
His voice was loud and clear, but the sewers were terrifyingly quiet. The pairs of timid, frightened, and suspicious pupils dilated, and their nostrils did not even dare to breathe loudly.
It was enough to establish his might here. Any more and it would probably backfire.
"What are you waiting for? Carry my things and go home!" Li Xing waved his hand, and the slaves crawled up from the ground and carried the nearest supplies.
Li Xing climbed up to the exit of the sewer first. After confirming that it was safe, he lowered the sling that he had prepared. The people below hung the supplies on the sling and then transported them up one by one. The machine tools used for production were disassembled and stored in boxes. They only needed to be carried to the villa and assembled.
Li Xing brought a bunch of refugees carrying bags and avoided the zombies with dull eyes. He carefully walked through the messy streets and finally saw his villa.
He pressed the bell. Soon, that fiery body threw herself into his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Did you flirt?" Zhao Xue squinted her eyes like a cat and looked at Li Xing from top to bottom.
"I swear to God, no!" Li Xing quickly raised his index finger and said.
After getting a satisfactory answer, she kissed Li Xing again and then called the slaves who were left aside to move their things into the villa. Then, together with Li Xing, they began to plan the placement of these slaves.
The lawn in the front yard of the main villa was carved out by Li Xing to build temporary tents for the refugees. This kind of small traveling tent was included in the batch of materials he had traded with Qian Wu previously. It could barely fit two people. Because of the limited space, they could only squeeze together. Anyway, it was better than sleeping outside the wall.
Xiao Yu very sensibly followed Li Xing's instructions and got a big pot. She poured half a bag of rice into the pot and mixed it with a suitable amount of water. Following Li Xing's instructions, she cut some vegetable leaves and minced pork and poured them into the pot. She also added two spoonfuls of salt and half a spoonful of gourmet powder.
He turned on the gas pipe and started a fire under the pot.
After using a long wooden spoon to stir the ingredients, Xiaoyu tiptoed and placed the lid on the pot.
She sniffed and adjusted the heat once again. Then, she obediently stood at the side and waited for the porridge to be cooked. Although she didn't understand why her brother would let these newly bought slaves eat such good food, no matter what Li Xing did, she would support him unconditionally.
Moreover, her brother was so handsome when he was gentle and kind.
Perhaps it was because of the heat from the stove, but Xiao Yu's face was slightly hot.
Unknowingly, she had already reached the age where she loved to let her imagination run wild…
