Li Chen thought he could finally leave.

Who knew Secretary Chang, speaking in officialese, continued,

"Now that disaster has struck, there's a shortage of supplies everywhere."

"In this time of crisis, every citizen has an obligation to make their contribution and rebuild our homeland!"

Li Chen looked at Secretary Chang and continued to nod, "Mhm, mhm, yes, that's right."

Seeing this, Secretary Chang's expression softened considerably.

She looked into Li Chen's eyes and said sincerely, "Since Mr. Li agrees with my point of view."

"Currently, the survivors in Donghai City are without adequate clothing or food, suffering from hunger and cold every day. Our team is also short on ammunition."

"We hope the Star-Level Shelter can lend a helping hand!"

Although Secretary Chang used the word "hope" verbally.

Her tone was very firm!

Li Chen nodded again, "Mhm, mhm, yes, you should."

Pfft—

It was clearly just going through the motions!

The people gathered outside the electric fence couldn't help but burst into laughter.

A trace of annoyance flashed in Secretary Chang's eyes.

She raised her voice.

"The Star-Level Shelter possesses so many weapons and supplies, yet it fails to fulfill its responsibility of taking in civilians."

"Now I am requisitioning the Star-Level Shelter to be brought under jurisdiction, and all supplies will be taken out for unified distribution!"

"Mr. Li, this is an extraordinary time, everyone must obey commands unconditionally!"

As Secretary Chang's words fell.

The entire scene erupted in an uproar!

The residents of the Star-Level Shelter showed indignant expressions.

Many of them had come from other shelters.

There was indeed a lack of supplies there.

But it wasn't because of the disaster!

It was because there were some parasites within, indulging in pleasure and hoarding all the supplies for themselves.

If the Star-Level Shelter were truly taken over.

The outcome was predictable.

But before the apocalypse, they were just insignificant little people.

after the apocalypse, and they were unarmed.

They didn't dare to speak up and refute.

Those who hadn't passed the Star-Level Shelter application were cheering at this moment.

Humans are a very strange creature.

What they can't get, they'd rather destroy than give to others.

"Hahaha, heaven has eyes! Eating the rich? I love it the most!"

"It's everyone's responsibility to overthrow the gentry. Secretary Chang, well done!"

"If I can't get in, they shouldn't expect to live well either."

"It should be like this. Seeing how smug the people in the Star-Level Shelter are is just annoying."

Yang Chengyi and those with Private Shelters all showed schadenfreude at this moment.

As the saying goes, a tall tree catches the wind.

It seems the Star-Level Shelter's supplies are so abundant that even Secretary Chang is coveting them.

If the Star-Level Shelter could really be incorporated.

For people like Yang Chengyi, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

This way, there would be one less formidable enemy!

"Old Liu, do you think this Li Chen will obediently hand over the supplies?"

Yang Chengyi pulled President Liu beside him and asked with a smile.

President Liu looked disdainful and slowly shook his head.

"Hand over? Impossible."

"Does she think this is still before the apocalypse? Using this set of rules to pressure people."

"Secretary Chang is still too young, but then again, she's just a girl in her twenties and already the second-in-command. It's easy to get carried away."

The others also nodded in agreement with President Liu's words.

They had all seen the strength of the Star-Level Shelter.

Not only were the supplies abundant, but the weapon resources were also very rich.

Looking over there... well, let's not talk about it.

These old foxes could tell from Li Chen's performance.

This kid was not soft-hearted.

President Liu even deliberately took a step back: "We should stay far away, otherwise what if we get caught in the crossfire later?"

Because President Liu saw it.

After Secretary Chang finished speaking, Li Chen's face turned cold.

"I never expected that the esteemed Secretary Chang's style would be so similar to a bandit's."

Li Chen sneered coldly.

Then he stepped up to the electric fence and looked Secretary Chang up and down.

"What, are you speechless? Keep talking. I love hearing things like that."

"Anyway, as long as I have no morals, you can't kidnap me!"

Secretary Chang's face instantly turned crimson.

Her fair hand pointed at Li Chen, and she stuttered "you, you" for a long time, unable to speak for a while.

After a good while, Secretary Chang said indignantly.

"Are you going to disregard the lives of millions of survivors?"

"Now that I'm in charge, are you going to defy orders?"

Secretary Chang spoke like a rapid-fire cannon, one sentence after another.

Without waiting for Li Chen to speak.

Secretary Chang spoke again.

"You'd better think carefully before answering."

"I represent millions of survivors, I represent the people, and I am requisitioning the Star-Level Shelter. If you resist, then..."

Clap, clap, clap—

Li Chen started clapping.

While clapping, he laughed loudly, "Those hats you're putting on are really big."

"Aren't you just trying to get something for nothing? You say it so righteously, I almost believed you."

"But don't forget, this isn't before the apocalypse."

As Li Chen's words fell.

The Android warriors immediately stood beside Li Chen.

Their dark muzzles were aimed at anyone who might make a move.

Secretary Chang's face instantly changed!

"You!"

"Those who oppose the masses never come to a good end!"

Saying this, Secretary Chang winked at the people around her.

Seeing that a battle was about to break out.

Everyone present was greatly alarmed!

Regardless of Secretary Chang's character, there was no doubt that.

The armed forces behind Secretary Chang were not to be underestimated.

No one expected Li Chen to actually dare to make a move against Secretary Chang.

Some of those standing beside Secretary Chang quietly shifted their positions.

Guns and cannons have no eyes.

If a fight broke out later, it wouldn't be good to be an innocent casualty.

"Don't try to lecture me with those grand principles," Li Chen's dark and deep icy eyes appeared wild and unrestrained. "No one here is a fool!"

"There is only one law of the apocalypse: the strong prey on the weak!"

Li Chen's words not only changed Secretary Chang's expression.

Even those who failed to get their applications approved were filled with anger!

Before the apocalypse, everyone ate and drank their fill.

So they believed in equality for all.

This led these useless people to have a misconception.

I'm weak, so I'm right, and you should all yield to me.

"Pah, what are you! You have so many resources but you won't save people, and you even set conditions. Everyone knows what kind of person you are!"

"Secretary Chang, don't give this kind of person face. He really thinks he's so great."

"The resources of the Star-Level Shelter should be taken out and divided equally among everyone. Why should only a few people enjoy them!"

"Stubborn as a dead duck, Li, your good days are over."

Countless accusations were hurled at him.

The crowd was furious!

Li Chen looked at these shouting useless people with disdain.

He said indifferently, "Am I your father? Do I need to spoil you bunch of useless pastries?"

"Each and every one of you has hands and feet. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can exchange Crystal Cores for resources with me."

"But you only want to reap without sowing."

"You useless people, it's a good thing you had minimum living allowances before the apocalypse, otherwise you would have all died long ago."
