Chapter 31: Don't blame me for being heartless, because the world has changed!

  "What right do you have to make us listen to you?"

  Just as Tang Tian finished speaking, a voice suddenly rose from the crowd.

  Following the sound, the speaker was a middle-aged man in his thirties. This person did not avoid Tang Tian's gaze at all.

  As soon as this man's words came out, the faces of those people below changed instantly.

  At first they listened seriously to Tang Tian's words, but now each of their faces showed a faint resistance.

  "This man is the village chief of Shijiazhuang, named Wu Jun. He used to be in the army before, but I don't know why he came here and became our village chief later. This person is sinister and cunning, many people have suffered losses at his hands, you should be careful when dealing with him." Liu Qiang whispered to Tang Tian beside him.

  When the man said that, Tang Tian's eyebrows furrowed, thinking that things wouldn't be so simple after all. After listening to Liu Qiang's introduction, his heart suddenly turned cold. He already had a plan in mind.

  Tang Tian narrowed his eyes and looked at the original Stone Village village head, saying: "What makes you listen to me? Do you think you can lead everyone to survive?"

  "Are you going to lead everyone to survive again?" Wu Jun looked at Tang Tian and said sharply.

  It's really not easy to deal with, Tang Tian thought in his heart, but immediately a faint smile appeared on his face and he said: "I don't know if my ability to clean up all the zombies in the village and rescue you counts or not"?

  Wu Jun heard Tang Tian's words and immediately frowned, because he saw that after Tang Tian said this sentence, the villagers' faces changed, after all, who wants to be under a strong person, only then can they survive better.

  He Wu Jun himself had been in the army, and he had some martial arts skills, but to deal with so many zombies was absolutely impossible, even if it was just one.

  But he suddenly turned his eyes and said, "These zombies were not killed by you alone, and these zombies are the relatives and friends of the villagers. You killed them, which is equivalent to killing the villagers' family members. Moreover, as far as I know, these zombies were not killed by you alone, right? If so, why should we still listen to you?"

  This Wu Jun is also a meticulous person, knowing that the world has changed. If he doesn't seize power now, survival will be difficult in the future. When he was the village head before, he got used to being domineering and wouldn't be willing to become an ordinary person again.

  Wu Jun's actions are simply vicious and poisonous, provoking the hatred of Tang Tian and these villagers, causing Tang Tian to lose all his leadership power!

  It is said that whoever wins the hearts of the people will win the world. He wants to deprive Tang Tian of his position among these people.

  These are naturally thought of by Tang Tian, but what he didn't expect was that Wu Jun would actually say it out loud. It really gave Tang Tian a difficult problem to solve, but in his heart, he wasn't afraid. In the face of absolute power, all schemes and plots were empty.

  Tang Tian said with a cat-and-mouse game tone: "You're saying that I shouldn't have killed all those zombies? Is your purpose to let the zombies kill everyone in the village? Besides, I brought Liu Qiang and Zhao Daniu to clean up the zombies in the village, they didn't say anything, what are you mumbling about?"

  In just a few words, Tang Tian turned everything back around.

  These words struck a chord in the hearts of these villagers. Thinking about it, if we don't kill them, won't we all die? What kind of heart does Wu Junan have, so ruthless and poisonous.

  "I look up to Tang brothers, whatever they ask me to do I will do. If anyone wants to harm the Tang brothers, please first ask the knife in my hand," Liu Qiang stood out and said fiercely with his long knife in hand.

  After the upgrade, his extraordinary strength beyond ordinary people was immediately revealed, and every word he spoke carried a sense of momentum.

  "Haha, I'm listening to Brother Tang, he's going to be my future brother-in-law", Zhao Daniu said with a terrifying figure standing up and laughing. If Tang Tian didn't know the truth about this guy, he would have thought he was just a simple-minded person.

  Liu Qiang and Zhao Daniu stepped forward to speak, instantly rendering Wu Jun speechless. However, he turned his eyes around and angrily said: "Even if it's like this, what can you do? You're just an outsider, why should you come and take charge of our Shijia Village people?"

  Obviously, his words did not have any effect. The world has become like this, what's the difference between outsiders and insiders? Those who can save everyone from suffering are good people.

  The villagers' hearts are still with Tang Tian, after all, Tang Tian is not only powerful, but also cleared the village of zombies and rescued everyone, which is equivalent to personally rescuing them. Moreover, Wu Jun's actions when he was the village head were too extreme, making everyone have a bad impression of him, and in the end, he himself is an outsider.

  When Wu Jun heard this, Tang Tian's eyes suddenly turned cold and he said in a gloomy tone: "Alright, let's not drag out these useless things. I've already said what needed to be said. Since you want to ask me why I'm leading everyone, then I'll tell you - it's because of the knife in my hand. Do you have any opinions?"

  At a time when everyone was bewildered, a long knife with a cold light suddenly appeared in Tang Tian's hand, pointing at Wu Jun.

  Wu Jun was startled by the cold intent displayed by Tang Tian and took a few steps back, then felt very embarrassed and angrily said: "What's wrong with you, do you still want to kill someone? If you have the ability, go ahead and kill me!"

  Tang Tian's eyes turned cold, and he shouted: "What's the big deal about killing you? The world has already become like this. People like you living in this world are just a waste of food. Come on and die!"

  Tang Tian suddenly sprang up and strode across several meters of distance, his long knife flashing with a cold light as it chopped towards Wu Jun who was standing there in a daze.

  Whoosh, the sword flashed by, Wu Jun's head flew high into the air, blood spraying everywhere. The flying head had a look in its eyes that was unimaginable, he never thought that Tang Tian would dare to take his life in front of so many people!

  But now it's too late to say anything, Wu Jun is already dead and can't die again.

  If he were a clever man, he wouldn't have stood out and fought with Tang Tian for power at this time, and he wouldn't have died.

  If he were a powerful person who could suppress Tang Tian, he wouldn't have died.

  But there aren't so many ifs in this world; people who are blinded by self-interest should have such awareness.

  In Tang Tian's eyes, Wu Jun was just an ant that could be trampled to death at any time. If he had Zhang Hao's strength, Tang Tian would guarantee that he would turn around and leave without saying a word, but Wu Jun didn't have it.

  Tang Tian is not a softhearted person, nor is he a fool. He knows when to be tough and when to be weak. When facing Zhang Hao earlier, he turned around and left without hesitation. But Wu Jun didn't have the power to make him compromise, so there was only one dead end.

  As for Wu Jun's death, the villagers below just made a fuss about it, after all, they had seen too many deaths in these few days and didn't have any special feelings. Moreover, Wu Jun was not well-liked by the people of Shijiazhuang Village before, and no one stood up for him.

  Tang Tian returned to the front desk, looking at the cowering villagers below, feeling very satisfied. If he didn't take action to subdue these people, even if he obtained leadership power, it wouldn't have much effect.

  Tang Tian's eyes swept over these people and he said in a cold voice: "Does anyone else have any opinions?"

  These people don't dare to have any opinions, they are just some uneducated laborers who can barely survive in this chaotic world, and they don't care who leads them, so one by one they all keep silent.

  Looking at everyone, Tang Tian said: "Since none of you have any opinions, I'll be the leader of all of you, and lead you to struggle in this terrifying world. Below, I announce a few rules, anyone who dares to violate them will die, listen up".

  "I will select twenty of the strongest people from among us to serve as guards, divided into groups of ten led by Liu Qiang and Zhao Daniu. These people not only need to maintain law and order but also take on the task of fighting against monsters, ensuring everyone's safety. Of course, considering that these people are always in danger, they will be given priority access to good things, such as food and shelter."

  "Secondly, I will gather all the food in the village and arrange it uniformly. You may think this is cruel, but I tell you, this is the rule, no one can violate it. Anyone who dares to hoard privately will be executed immediately upon discovery!"

  In the end of the world, powerful military force and food are the two most important things. Tang Tian naturally wants to grasp them in his own hands. Only by grasping these two can he hold the lifeline of these people, making it impossible for them not to listen to him.

  "Three, everyone else must seriously carry out the tasks arranged for them. In this world full of crises, whoever wants to get corresponding material distribution must put in their effort. I won't support those who just idle around and wait for death, I will consider and distribute specific arrangements when the time is right."

  "Fourth, the world is in chaos, and some people's desires will grow endlessly. However, I don't care what you want to do, but there is one thing you must remember: strictly prohibit adultery, fornication, and harming women. Once discovered, such scum will be immediately hacked to death without exception, including myself. Of course, considering that women are naturally at a disadvantage, it's allowed for everyone to form families, which is not opposed. Because the world is in chaos, even if an able-bodied man takes several wives, it's not opposed as long as you have the ability to support them, but the prerequisite is that the woman must be willing herself."

  "Alright, these four rules are temporary for now. Does anyone have any other opinions?"

  These people don't dare to have any opinions, although the rules are very cruel and often result in death sentences, but it has to be said that these rules guarantee everyone's interests the most, so no one speaks up.

  These people had no opinion, and Tang Tian continued: "Since none of you have any opinions, let's start selecting the guards now..."

  After a serious selection from over 100 villagers, 20 of the strongest villagers were selected and divided into two teams under Liu Qiang and Zhao Daniu.

  Tang Tian was very reassured about these two men, because he clearly knew that neither of them had any ambitions. Liu Qiang was devoted to himself, and his previous behavior could be seen from this. As for Zhao Daniu, he was a fool who didn't think much, as long as he was arranged to do something, he wouldn't have any other thoughts.

  "Don't blame me for being too ruthless, because the world has changed and I also need to survive." Looking at these people below, Tang Tian said silently in his heart...
