Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Lin Yuan’s current status in Peng City can be said to be second only to Yang Dingguo.

What he says still carries significant weight.

Moreover, what Lin Yuan mentioned is a harsh reality.

Currently, the number of survivors pouring into Peng City from various places is as large as a million.

If the Deceitful King Faction continues to cause large-scale destruction, then even more survivors may flock here.

Peng City does not have extra strength to protect them; let them participate in city-building, constructing the Giant City at the fastest speed.

This also lets them protect themselves.

After all, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Actually, everyone understands this principle.

They are officials emerging from peacetime, still quite conservative in their thinking. No one has proposed such a practical solution until now.

Now, Lin Yuan has proposed this method.

After the meeting, Yang Dingguo supported Lin Yuan’s idea.

The meeting finalized the implementation plan based on Lin Yuan’s idea.

...

...

Early the next morning.

Lin Yuan personally led a team of Life Pattern Masters to the temporary shelter for survivors.

Behind Lin Yuan, on his left and right, followed two enormous creatures, none other than the Dark Demon Ape and Mud Crocodile.

Initially, the survivors were a bit startled upon seeing these two huge creatures.

Afterwards, seeing the Dark Demon Ape and Mud Crocodile obediently following Lin Yuan, their panic slowly subsided.

Originally, every morning, someone came to distribute breakfast to them.

Breakfast consisted of simple hot porridge, steamed buns, and pickles.

Though not sumptuous, it was filling enough.

However, today’s breakfast didn’t arrive.

The original breakfast turned into a piece of paper, detailing where they need to gather and what kind of work they must engage in within a certain period.

Around the gathering area, buses are ready. Each piece of paper the survivors hold corresponds with a specific license plate.

Soon, they will be assigned to different construction sites to begin the construction of the Giant City.

People naturally have a tendency towards laziness.

These survivors have been freeloading in Peng City for quite some days, and now they’re suddenly told to work and that they must labor to earn their meals.

They instantly developed a sense of resistance.

”We want food!”

”We want food!”

”We want safety!”

”We want safety!”

”This is infringing our human rights!”

”You’re treating us like slaves!”

”We want the same rights as Peng City People; we want to survive within the shelter.”

...

...

At the gathering point, under someone’s deliberate leadership, all survivors began to raise their arms and shout, their voices echoing far and wide.

At this moment, several officials from other cities approached Lin Yuan and said in a deep voice, ”Mr. Lin, let them have food first!”

”If this continues, it will be uncontrollable, and trouble will arise.”

”As for working, let’s discuss, and give us another chance to negotiate with them.”

Negotiate?

Exchanging labor for food compensation is a fair exchange, it’s only natural.

Trouble?

With Lin Yuan here, what trouble could arise?

Lin Yuan signaled to the Dark Demon Ape and Mud Crocodile, and the two Tier Five Evil Spirits immediately understood.

”Roar!”

”Roar! Roar!”

The Dark Demon Ape and Mud Crocodile roared fiercely at the crowd, their roar forming a gust of wind that enveloped the people.

The wind carried an aura of menace; many were so scared that they fell back onto the ground.

Some even urinated in fear, leaving puddles on the ground, wishing they could disappear.

Under the two roars of the Dark Demon Ape and Mud Crocodile, the original chants stopped abruptly.

The survivors exchanged glances, hearts pounding.

Taking advantage of the silence, Lin Yuan picked up a loudspeaker and shouted to the crowd below, ”Peng City doesn’t support idle people, nor can it afford to support so many idle people.”

”If you wish to stay in Peng City, follow the instructions on the paper you have, engage in labor, and exchange it for food and compensation.”

”As for entering the shelter, you should know every shelter’s capacity is limited, built according to the city’s survivor population.”

”It’s impossible for all of you to enter the shelter.”

”However, each month we will offer a thousand family slots, providing you a chance to enter the shelter. Those who perform the best, contribute the most, will have the opportunity for their entire family to enter.”

”Rest assured, although your working location is not as safe as the shelter, I, Lin Yuan, guarantee with my integrity to provide protection to the best of my ability.”

”You must understand, relying solely on the Peng City Shelter cannot accommodate so many of you. Only by completing the Giant City can everyone live in a safe environment.”

”Of course, if anyone cannot accept our arrangements, we won’t compel you.”

”We’ll provide you with three days of food, transportation to the next city, where you can seek new shelter.”

”The time available for you is running out; you need to make a choice. Those willing to stay and work should quickly follow the instructions on the paper in your hands and head to the buses for assembly. Meanwhile, our staff will also try to provide you with assistance.”

The papers in their hands were tasks assigned based on their personal information and skills.

It can be said that everyone is put to their best use.

Last night, for the sake of compiling this data, Peng City’s office workers did not sleep a wink all night.

Who around Peng City doesn’t know the name Lin Yuan?

With Lin Yuan here, along with those two huge beings behind him, who would dare cause trouble?

At this moment, many people began weighing the pros and cons.

Participating in the construction of the Giant City, working in exchange for food and rewards, this is quite reasonable!

Not to mention, even before the bizarre invasion, they had to work to earn wages!

Moreover, even when heading to the shelter in the next city, they wouldn’t be supported for free!

Needless to say, Peng City is the safest place nearby.

Plus, there’s the enticing prospect of the entire family entering the Peng City Shelter.

Thinking of this, some started to waver and began to follow the instructions on their papers, heading towards the assembly.

Humans are the most conformist creatures; once someone makes a decision, others began to follow suit one after another.

More and more people chose to stay and participate in the construction of the Giant City.

On the outskirts, buses full of people began to move towards various construction sites.

The number of survivors at the gathering point dwindled.

For the handful who didn’t wish to stay, Lin Yuan stuck to his word, providing them with food, transportation, and so on.

”Mr. Lin, you always have a way!” The official in charge of managing these survivors couldn’t help but give Lin Yuan a thumbs up.

”We can’t support such a large population here; if they leave, where can they go?”

”The longer they wander outside, the higher the chances of dying.”

”It’s just a carrot-and-stick approach; they understand how to weigh the pros and cons.” Lin Yuan wasn’t arrogant.

”However, with so many more people in the project, won’t we attract evil spirits?”

”The safety of so many people is a big problem!” The person said worriedly.

Lin Yuan pointed at the Mud Crocodile and Dark Demon Ape behind him and said, ”With both of them here, most evil spirits should actively avoid Peng City.”

”Even if occasionally some evil spirits dare to enter Peng City, our guard team should be able to fend them off.”

Lin Yuan had already asked the Mud Crocodile and Dark Demon Ape to fully release their aura; evil spirits have territorial divisions.

With them releasing their aura, in the eyes of other evil spirits, Peng City became their territory.

Thus, evil spirits entering Peng City are either stronger than them and disregarding them,

or they are ignorant and starving, eager to eat humans.

In any case, there will certainly be casualties, but as long as it’s within controllable limits, there shouldn’t be major issues.

...

...

After a busy day, they finally settled the survivors properly.

Returning to Wushan Shelter, Lin Yuan saw a familiar figure.

This person hadn’t been seen for a long time.

It was the Day Traveler.

Seeing the childlike, giant frame and small stature in front of him, Lin Yuan felt a sense of reunion after a long separation.

Of course, it was merely a reunion, without any other implications.

Day Traveler is the only one with decent looks and build, but can’t stir any male hormones in Lin Yuan.

Because, in Lin Yuan’s eyes, she’s a madwoman.

Would you have any thoughts about a madwoman?

Certainly not, because she might take your life at any moment while you’re enjoying yourself!

”Mad Woman, why are you here again?” Lin Yuan directly asked without beating around the bush.

Day Traveler is Lin Yuan’s partner, both having a common goal to destroy the Deceitful King Faction.

”To execute a task, or rather, to gather intelligence on your side.”

”Recently, hasn’t the situation been unusual around here?”

”Nearby city shelters were attacked, all by the Deceitful King Faction!” Day Traveler didn’t waste words and directly reported the information.

”Figured it was them!”

”But what is their purpose in doing this?” Lin Yuan asked.

”To seize the city!”

”They need a Giant City; the one you’re building is their target.”

”Amongst these survivors, there are many spies they’ve planted, and all of this is just laying the groundwork for seizing the city!” Day Traveler once again revealed critical intelligence.

”Many spies?”

”How extensive can it be?” Lin Yuan asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Day Traveler took out a book, seemingly containing dozens of pages.

”Here!” Day Traveler handed the book to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan: ”????”

”What is this?”

”The Art of War? Why did you think of asking me to read a book?” Lin Yuan asked in confusion.

Day Traveler paused, then explained: ”Not a book, it’s a list of spies.”

”Cough, cough!” Lin Yuan nearly choked on his saliva.

This is a damn list of spies?

Doesn’t this mean there are thousands of spies among the survivors?
