228 Satomi Ishihara
He looked at the crowd again, and with a thought, he saw clusters of burning fireballs suddenly appear in the night sky, emitting a bright yellow light.
The firelight illuminated his face, making him appear exceptionally determined and confident.
"This……"
Everyone was stunned by what they saw.
They had never seen such a magical sight before, and couldn't help but feel awe and trust in Chang Wei and the others.
"Now, do you believe us?" Chang Wei asked with a smile.
Although his voice wasn't loud, it was full of power and impossible to ignore.
Everyone nodded, a glint in their eyes.
They knew they had finally gained true freedom and hope.
"This is... an evolved being!"
Everyone was immediately shocked. After being exposed to the concept of evolved beings for several days, they already had a deep understanding of it.
Xiong Jinli's beast-like strength had already left an indelible mark on their hearts, making them dare not have the slightest thought of resistance.
However, the young man before them turned out to be an evolved being with great power, which surprised and excited them.
"Now, you should believe me, right?" Chang Wei smiled slightly, his confidence and determination as firm as a rock.
The fireballs around him flickered, making him appear as if a god had descended to earth.
"This...this is really real!"
"The evolved beings wouldn't lie to us!"
"We...are finally going to be free!"
……
In an instant, many survivors were moved to tears.
The long-term oppression and suffering had already exhausted their spirits.
Now that they see a glimmer of hope, how could they not be extremely excited?
Seeing everyone's excitement, Chang Wei couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
He knew that his identity and power were key to these people regaining hope.
However, he did not let his guard down. He knew perfectly well that although Xiong Jinli and the other thugs had temporarily left, they could return at any time.
Therefore, he must stabilize the situation as soon as possible and ensure everyone's safety.
“However, I need you to stay here before we deal with those thugs.”
Chang Wei's tone became serious, "I know you may be a little dissatisfied, but please believe me, this is for everyone's safety."
I will arrange for food and lodging to be provided for you, but please be sure to follow my orders.
Although the crowd still harbored doubts and resentment upon hearing Chang Wei's words, they ultimately chose silence and obedience upon seeing his resolute and cold gaze and the flickering fireball beside him.
Chang Wei knew that his words had had a deterrent effect.
He believed that as long as he could get rid of the thugs as soon as possible, they would truly be convinced of his abilities.
He will also take this opportunity to establish his prestige and status in this chaotic world.
It seems that there is indeed a side to human nature that is to bully the weak and fear the strong. If a person is too kind, they will often be taken advantage of by others, and if a horse is docile, it will often be ridden.
Humans cannot always play the role of a nice guy; at certain times, they must show their toughness and methods.
The onlookers witnessed Chang Wei handle all of this and were all astonished.
If it were them, they would probably be at a loss for what to do in the face of such strong opposition.
However, Chang Wei directly demonstrated his strength with his assertiveness and decisiveness, and his domineering style left a deep impression on everyone.
Sato, in particular, had a glint of admiration in her eyes, and her opinion of Chang Wei rose sharply.
Before long, under Chang Wei's somewhat forceful command, everyone obediently stood in the courtyard paved with bluestone, and many even sat directly on the ground.
Afterwards, Chang Wei and the others returned to their room and sat together.
Chang Wei gave instructions to Nanri Kaori, Saya, and the others, instructing them to take over the night watch from Kashiwagi Miharu and the others during the second half of the night.
"By the way, Chang Wei, what should we do next?"
"Ida Wong asked curiously."
"What should we do? We can only sleep and wait for Xiong Jinli to return."
Chang Wei spoke calmly, as if all the turmoil had nothing to do with him.
He knew that only by conserving his energy could he meet the challenges ahead.
"Alright, let Yoko handle the rest. I need some time to recover my energy."
After saying this, Chang Wei found a room, lay down, and closed his eyes to rest.
Hoshino Ai smiled slightly and followed Chang Wei into the room amidst the envious or jealous gazes of the crowd.
"What a vixen!"
Ada Wong watched Hoshino Ai's retreating figure and muttered a dissatisfied remark.
Satomi Ishihara was restless. With the apocalypse upon us and zombies roaming the land, who would care about her former identity and status?
She wanted to rely on Chang Wei, but didn't know how to ask. She could only watch helplessly as Hoshino Ai looked at her with a defiant gaze, her heart filled with fear.
Inside the hall, everyone's eyes were focused on Yoko Okino, awaiting her instructions. They all knew that Yoko Okino was a famous female singer in the Sakura entertainment industry, exceptionally intelligent, and capable of leading them out of their predicament.
Chang Wei, on the other hand, stayed out of it. He was better at fighting and getting stronger, and it was more appropriate to leave these trivial matters to professionals like Yoko Okino.
As Hoshino Ai swayed gracefully into the room, Chang Wei opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and pulled her into his arms.
Amidst Hoshino Ai's exclamation, the two drifted off into a sweet dream.
The next morning, when Chang Wei woke up, he found the courtyard already bustling with activity.
Ada Wong and the others were busy cooking a large pot of porridge, with steamed buns piled up next to it.
These people, who used to only be able to drink congee, now have such good food, and their faces are filled with satisfied smiles.
Upon seeing Chang Wei, Yoko walked over and said with a smile, "Chang Wei, you really know how to enjoy yourself. You leave all the work to me and you get to relax and have a carefree life."
"Hehe, Yoko, don't be modest. Everyone knows you're the most capable person here."
Chang Wei laughed.
Looking at the orderly scene before him, he couldn't help but admire Yoko Okino's command abilities.
"Don't grab it, everyone! Take your time, there's enough for everyone!"
Ada Wong loudly maintained order, and the crowd lined up in two rows to receive their food in an orderly fashion.
Although they are still poor, in this end times, it is enough for them to feel warmth and hope.
"Woo...Woo..."
Suddenly, a child's cry broke the silence. Chang Wei looked up and saw a seven or eight-year-old boy being roughly pushed aside by a burly man in the long line, while he himself brazenly took the spot that originally belonged to the boy.
Seeing this, the others were dissatisfied, but fearing the man's physique, they could only dare to be angry but not speak out.
How could you cut in line?
Upon seeing this, Ada Wong glared angrily at the man, her chest heaving with rage.
She quickly stepped forward, wanting to help the boy who had been pushed down.
"Little brother, are you alright?" Ada Wong asked with concern.
"Waaah... He stole my seat! That was my seat!"
The little boy rubbed his eyes and cried, feeling wronged.
"Where did I cut in line? He was the one who tried to cut in line but failed and fell down on his own! You can ask the others if you don't believe me!"
The man argued shamelessly, and deliberately glared at the others, his threatening intent evident in his words.
"you!"
Ada Wong was furious, her face turning red, but she was helpless.
"Hurry up and get the food! I'm starving!"
The man urged impatiently.
Seeing this, the other women all showed expressions of anger, but they didn't know how to respond.
Chang Wei's team is mostly composed of women, who are all busy with their own tasks: some are on duty, some are on guard, and some are resting.
"Chang Wei, what do you think we should do?"
Seeing her teammate being treated this way, Takagi Saya felt dissatisfied and walked over to Chang Wei, speaking softly.
"give it to me."
