Chapter 115 Recruiting Troops and Distributing Feudal Orders

Inside the Gymnasium, nearly a thousand players moved about messily under the shouts of Wang Meng and Zhuang Qianhao's subordinates, eventually managing to form twenty lines of varying lengths.

Men to the left and women to the right, clearly divided.

The entire process was terrifyingly oppressive; no one dared to speak loudly, leaving only the sound of rustling clothes and tense breathing.

Su Ze's gaze swept across the dark mass of people, his face expressionless.

"Starting from the First Floor, count off."

His voice wasn't loud, but it made the group from the First Floor at the very front shudder.

A boy tremblingly shouted, "One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

...

The counting sounds rose and fell, passing from the First Floor to the Tenth Floor.

Su Ze listened quietly, calculating rapidly in his mind.

Finally, the number stopped at nine hundred and sixty-two.

Nine hundred and sixty-two people.

Su Ze knew in his heart that this wasn't even a fraction of the total number of survivors in the entire Dormitory building.

Most people were either too cowardly to come or were hiding in the shadows, waiting to see the outcome.

Just then, at the entrance of the Gymnasium, Qiao Yunfeng walked in quickly with his two younger cousins and Liu Yuanfang.

They were all stunned when they saw the eerie scene inside the hall.

Liu Yuanfang walked quickly to Su Ze and bowed respectfully.

"Boss Su Ze, I'm here!"

Su Ze nodded and turned his gaze to the group of over two hundred women huddled together, their faces filled with fear and unease.

"Liu Yuanfang."

"Present!"

"These women will be under your command from now on." Su Ze pointed to the group of women. "Move all their Dormitory assignments to the Fourth Floor; you'll handle the arrangements."

Su Ze's voice was calm but carried an unquestionable authority.

"From now on, they will take shifts for the daily guard duty and logistics on the Fourth Floor to protect the safety of my Dormitory."

This was both for better management and to prevent his tenants from having too much contact with other men, reducing the possibility of betrayal at the root.

Liu Yuanfang was completely dazed.

She... she suddenly had over two hundred people under her?

And they were all women!

A surge of immense surprise and excitement rushed to her head, leaving her mind blank, filled only with ecstasy.

This meant she had completely become Su Ze's confidante!

"Yes! Boss! I understand! I guarantee the mission will be completed!" Liu Yuanfang's voice trembled with excitement, her chest heaving violently, her eyes looking at Su Ze with fanaticism.

Not far away, Wang Meng and Zhuang Qianhao watched this scene with pure envy.

Liu Yuanfang had completely latched onto a powerful backer and become a close associate!

When would they get this kind of treatment?

Su Ze ignored their thoughts and turned his gaze toward Wang Meng, Zhuang Qianhao, and Xu Feng.

"Wang Meng, the sixty-seven men from the Third Floor are yours."

"Zhuang Qianhao, the fifty-two from the First Floor are yours."

"Xu Feng, the seventy-three from the Eighth Floor are yours."

The three of them shuddered, their faces instantly flooded with wild joy.

This... this was appointing commanders and distributing troops?!

"You can set your own reward and punishment systems. I don't care how you manage them; I only want results."

Su Ze paused before continuing, "Every morning, there will be unified orders for collective action. In the afternoon, you can make your own arrangements."

"Everything gained during the morning operations must be handed over."

"For those who perform well, you can promote them yourselves..."

Although the morning proceeds had to be handed over, they gained the right to manage and promote personnel!

This meant the number of men under them had directly multiplied several times over!

Moreover, this was personally acknowledged by Su Ze!

From now on, they were the legitimate leaders under Su Ze's command!

"Don't worry, Boss! I, Wang Meng, will work like an ox or a horse for you from now on, without a single complaint!" Wang Meng was the first to react, bowing his head and shouting at the top of his lungs.

"I, Zhuang Qianhao, am the same! I'll follow the Boss to the death!" Zhuang Qianhao, not to be outdone, quickly declared his stance.

Xu Feng also bowed excitedly: "Don't worry, Boss, I will not let you down!"

Behind him, Ling Hao looked at this scene and let out a long sigh of relief, his heart full of gratitude.

Fortunately... fortunately Brother Feng had made the right choice.

Life would likely be a bit easier from now on.

Meanwhile, Jiang Haiqing and the others behind Wang Meng had bitter expressions.

Even their own Brother Meng had taken such a posture; their little bit of resentment and dissatisfaction toward Su Ze could only vanish at this moment.

Better to be honest from now on.

Otherwise, Brother Meng would tear them apart himself.

After dealing with these people, Su Ze's gaze finally landed on Qiao Yunfeng, who had been silent until now.

Qiao Yunfeng felt uneasy being watched by him.

His feelings toward Su Ze were very complicated.

At first, he thought this guy was just a lecher with a fearsome reputation who had snatched his sister away, which made him very unhappy.

But later, his sister fell for him herself and told him that Su Ze had given her combat skills, fine weapons, and precious zombie serum.

This made him feel that Su Ze seemed to treat his sister quite well.

So his perception of Su Ze was very complex.

"Qiao Yunfeng," Su Ze suddenly spoke.

"Ah? Present!" Qiao Yunfeng subconsciously stood up straight, but the next moment he realized he wasn't one of his subordinates, so he quickly corrected himself, "Oh, wait, what's wrong?"

Su Ze pointed to the dozens of people from the Tenth Floor, a playful look on his face.

"For your sister's sake, I'll give you a chance."

"This group from the Tenth Floor will be handed over to you to lead. If you lead them well, the Tenth Floor will be yours to manage. If not..."

Su Ze smiled, "Then I'll just have to replace you."

Qiao Yunfeng was completely stunned.

Give him... people to manage?

He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing Su Ze's half-smiling expression, he swallowed his words.

"What, you can't do it?" Su Ze raised an eyebrow.

"...I'll try." Qiao Yunfeng bit his lip and finally spat out those words.

He knew that once he accepted, he would be completely on Su Ze's boat.

But on second thought, even his sister had become Su Ze's woman; there seemed to be no point in going against him anymore.

Moreover, Su Ze announcing this in front of so many people was a way of backing him up.

In the future, anyone who wanted to move against him openly would have to weigh Su Ze's attitude.

As for private schemes and passive defiance, those would be the tests Su Ze set for him...

Having figured this out, Qiao Yunfeng took a deep breath, his gaze becoming firm.

Fine, I'll do it for my sister's sake!

Seeing this, Su Ze nodded with satisfaction.

He smiled and said no more.

Instead, he looked at the remaining hundreds of unorganized stragglers from other floors who had no leaders.

There were 474 people from the 2nd floor, 5th floor, 6th floor, 7th floor, and 9th floor who were leaderless.

"The rest of you will be personally led by me for the time being."

As soon as he finished speaking, those hundreds of people immediately scrambled to shout.

"Yes! Boss Su Ze!"

"We'll follow whatever arrangements the Boss makes!"

Su Ze waved his hand, signaling them to be quiet.
