You were supposed to hoard supplies, why the heck did you hoard zombies!

```

Zhang Ye's eyes were quickly filled with disdain, which swiftly turned to pain.

"Luo Xin, ah."

"I really didn't expect you to be that kind of person."

"So young, yet already on the path of seducing the boss!"

As he spoke, he moved his body to the side as if he were truly afraid that he would be forced right there in broad daylight by the young maiden before him.

Luo Xin's face flushed red in an instant.

"I didn't!"

"I'm not!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

"I just wanted to ask if they had been successful, that's all!"

Zhang Ye's expression returned to normal in the blink of an eye, and with a glance down the street, he saw Tian Gou and the other two heading towards the hardware store.

It seemed this trio had already started scouting their next target.

The list quickly gained another number.

082.

This meant he now had eighty-two employees, and would soon have eighty-three, eighty-four, until the ninetieth number was also taken.

More than forty of these were used to protect the villa area and manage the safety of the personnel.

The rest were assigned to the hotel.

Zhang Ye had already decided that starting from number 081 to number 100, all these employees would be allocated to Luo Xin's Energy Department.

Electricity was too important; it had to be prioritized.

With enough power, he could even consider erecting an electric fence around every settlement or simply occupying a factory with his nearly hundred-strong workforce.

After all, there was no shortage of zombies on the streets.

If something broke, they would just capture a few more from outside to come in.

At this thought, Zhang Ye couldn't help but sigh.

"There are still not enough employees."

The addition of the trio brought him another thirty employee slots, allowing him to control a staggering one hundred and ten employees.

But compared to future needs, this was clearly not enough.

To increase the limit, there was only one way.

Expand the map.

——

Time flew, and soon it was noon.

The three-person recruiting team picked through the horde for half a day and finally returned with twenty blank-slate employees.

These employees' attire looked strikingly similar.

At a glance, one could make out their professions.

Indeed, the occupation field in each employee's bio was filled with the same words.

Welder.

Strictly speaking, these people were not in charge of repairing electricity.

But given the current situation, they were the most appropriate zombies available.

Once Zhang Ye allocated all these employees to the Energy Department, nearly every one of them showed the same expression.

Fervor.

It was a passion for their future work.

From today onwards, they would be on the frontlines of the company's expansion.

As long as the company developed new industries, these employees, brimming with passion for electricity and machinery, would swarm in, fixing every wire, every machine, and eventually erecting a towering electric grid.

"Hehe~"

Luo Xin seemed to already envision her bright future.

Zhang Ye as the boss.

Herself as the manager.

Zombies working.

A beautiful future for everyone!

With so many zombies, there was no way they could all run back following Zhang Ye's vehicle.

The distance was too far, and at the speed these zombies moved, their feet would be worn to nubs by the time they got back.

Zhang Wei offered a valuable suggestion.

Use a truck.

With Zhang Ye's approval, he expertly pried open the door of a van parked by the roadside, and then, under Luo Xin's command, all twenty new employees entered the truck cabin.

If they couldn't fit, change walking to stuffing.

Since zombies felt no pain, there was no harm in forcefully packing them in.

After all the new employees were loaded onto the truck, Zhang Ye and the others began to head back the way they came, only to find that the intersection they had passed through earlier had been blocked by a horde of zombies at some point.

```

"Just charge through?"

Luo Xin blinked and asked.

"Charge through?"

"If you don't want to live, I still do."

"Take a detour, hurry up, don't you see they are already coming over?"

Zhang Ye glanced at woman irritably and patted her thigh to urge her as he looked at the thousands of zombies ahead.

Who knew that just after they had walked not far, the road ahead was blocked again?

But this time it wasn't zombies.

It was a roadblock.

Behind the roadblock, there was also a heavy-duty truck over ten meters long parked across the street, practically blocking the entire street, with several figures sitting on it.

Soon, Tian Gou's voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Boss, we've got trouble!"

"It looks like someone's wrapping around behind us!"

At the same time, more than a dozen men emerged from the buildings on both sides of the street and surrounded them.

Luo Xin's complexion changed instantly.

Robbers?

The crowd outside quickly surrounded the three cars.

The man leading them looked very young, with tufts of red and green in his hair, making him look like a traffic light.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Bang!"

He kicked the car door.

"Get out of the car quickly!"

"And take out all the food from the car!"

Luo Xin inside the car became instantly panicked. She tried to keep calm on her face, but her eyes kept looking at Zhang Ye beside her.

"What do we do?"

"Should we get out?"

"They won't kill us, will they?"

Zhang Ye calmly took her hand, and the woman quickly quietened down.

He slowly rolled down the car window.

The traffic light guy was planning to kick again to scare the people inside the car, but the window slowly opened, revealing a face of a man about his age.

There was also a young woman sitting in the passenger seat.

"Heh heh."

"You're pretty lucky, kid."

"Where did you snag such a top-quality item?"

Zhang Ye didn't pay him any attention, merely speaking calmly, "I don't have supplies in my car, you've got the wrong target."

The traffic light guy was taken aback, then quickly said excitedly,

"Don't give me that crap!"

"Open up the compartment, quick!"

"I used to work in transport, and the wheels are practically sunk into the road, yet you say there's no supply?"

He then looked lecherously at Luo Xin again.

"This woman isn't bad either. Leave the car and her, and the rest of you can scram."

When Luo Xin heard this, she became even more frightened, losing all her usual cheerfulness and liveliness.

Her hand was gripping Zhang Ye's tightly, as if terrified that he would abandon her.

Zhang Ye seemed not to have heard the man, sighing,

"Does it have to be this way?"

"Are you sure you want to open the compartment?"

The traffic light guy scoffed, "What do you think?"

"Hurry up, don't dawdle!"

"You see, my brother's patience is limited!"

Zhang Ye sized him up, a look of helplessness on his face.

"Alright."

"Have all your brothers go over there."

"I fear there's too much stuff in the compartment, too much for just a few to handle."

Upon hearing this, the traffic light guy instantly turned back, looking smug, and shouted to the people on the truck, "Brothers, come down and move the goods! We struck a fat sheep, haha!"

Shortly after, several more men came down from the truck.

Each of them looked at the cargo compartment with greedy eyes.

Is it going to be opened?
