The moment the mayor finished his words, Xun Che let out a chuckle and said, "Mayor, I think you are old and senile."
As soon as he heard this, the smile on the Mayor's face disappeared, and he asked with a frown, "Captain Xun, what do you mean by that?"
Xun Che looked at them for a while before he said, "Outside of this base, the world has changed. The roads are full of zombies, and the number of survivors is so small that the human race is at the brink of extinction."
"It's true that we will need a lot of supplies to support a large number of people. But those survivors are very important for us to build the base and fight against the zombies."
"Not only you didn't think far ahead, you even tried to cut off the only path of survival with your own hands. If you are not old and senile, then what are you?"
After a moment of pause, he asked, "Mayor, you don't think that by keeping these useless people, controlling the soldiers, and hoarding supplies, you can survive the apocalypse, do you?"
Being called useless to their face was never a good experience. So, the leaders and officers stood up and scolded Xun Che one after another.
The more he looked at them, the colder Xun Che's eyes became. After a few minutes, he finally pulled out his gun and aimed it at the Mayor.
"Since you are useless, then there is no use to keep you around."
BANG!
As soon as he finished his words, he pulled the trigger.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the Mayor lean back in the chair with a hole in the center of his forehead. He was killed so suddenly that even after he died, he still looked confused.
The meeting room went silent suddenly.
After a while, one of the officers turned to look at Xun Che. He pointed his trembling finger at him and said with a pale face, "C-Captain Xun, you killed the Mayor!"
Following his words, another officer shouted, "Someone, come in and arrest this criminal!"
They shouted for a long time but no one came in.
Looking at them, Xun Che smiled and said, "You can save your energy. Those soldiers are my men. How do you expect them to arrest me?"
He walked to the main seat and pulled the Mayor's body from the chair. Afterward, he sat down and said, "From now on, this base will follow the military law."
As soon as he said that, the Mayor's right-hand man refuted, "I don't agree! You are just a soldier—what do you know about being a leader?!"
Bang!
The next moment, another person was killed on the spot. This time, everyone was so scared that they didn't dare let out a sound.
Looking at them, Xun Che said, "Who else has objections?"
Ten minutes passed, and no one said a word.
