"They have gone crazy!" Bai Jixuan exclaimed once he finished listening to the new rules that were being broadcast in the entire base. He turned to look at his elder brother and said to him, "What kind of crazy rules are these? They want us to work for them without getting anything in return?"
Bai Zhan frowned and turned to look at Bai Meiyue before saying to her, "What should we do?" If they stayed in the base, then they would have to either pay Yu Miaomiao with supplies that were way too exorbitant or work for Yu Miaomiao. Both options were really dangerous.
According to the new rules that Yu Miaomiao had set, everything in the safe zone now belonged to her and the high-ranking officials. Even the medical resources that Bai Meiyue had collected and set up. And if that was all, they could have at least thought of a counter-strategy. But no! Yu Miaomiao had stooped down to another level by making even the supernatural beings her properties.
What did she mean by that in exchange for the protection of the base, they needed to take on tasks and hand her more than half the supplies?
Bai Meiyue didn’t say anything. She was actually quite surprised that Yu Miaomiao had gone to such lengths to suppress them. In fact, if she thought about it carefully, such rules never came into existence. Forget about Yu Miaomiao; even the number one base of the nation didn’t make a set of rules like this in the past.
These rules were not rules. They were a set of restraints that were being used to suppress the ability users. How could there be such harsh rules? What was the point of hunting zombies and looking for supplies if they had to hand over more than half of the supplies? To make sure that the ability users would not hide inside the base and refuse to hand in the supplies, she added another law that strictly stipulated that they needed to take on a mission every week.
Most probably, Yu Miaomiao thought that the ability users would not dare to run away. After all, currently only a few bases had appeared in the city, which made the outside world even more dangerous. That was the only reason she was being so bold and ruthless while making these rules.
She believed that the ability users would still follow the rules even though she had cornered them.
But what she didn’t know was that it was really hard to tame ability users. Because they were stronger than the common survivors, they had an inherent arrogance within their hearts. They were not used to following rules, especially if there were ability users who were stronger than Yu Miaomiao in the base. No high-ranking ability user would take orders from a low-ranking ability user.
What rules? In this world, what kind of entity was Yu Miaomiao, and what rights did she have to make these rules? And even if she had the authority, why would the ability users listen to her? If Yu Miaomiao was stronger than them and if she was giving them some benefits that suited their tastes, the ability users would at least think of doing her bidding.
But the rules that Yu Miaomiao had set were only for her benefit and those who were sitting in the high seats in the base. There was no such thing as benefits for the ability users or the common survivors.
With this round of rules, Bai Meiyue was certain that there would soon be another round of ability users who would rather turn around and escape the base.
