Everyone present had different thoughts in their hearts, but at the same time they were similar. It's weird, but if you put yourself in the shoes of these people, you find it understandable.

There is no doubt that a new social system is urgently needed. If they don't get this right at the beginning, it will be more difficult to solve the problem by the time everything is on track.

In a sense, it resembles a tree. If it is still not straightened during the development and growth stages, it is almost impossible to straighten the torso while it is already solid and formed.

The problem is that everyone here has their own selfish agendas. It's natural, after all, everyone has their own considerations.

What position will I occupy in the new social pyramid? What benefits will I get? Can I still enjoy the same privileges? Will I lose something in the process? Will I have fewer rights than I do now? Questions like these flashed through almost everyone's mind, like a whirlwind of disorder, raging in the depths of the brain.

As if that weren't enough, there are other concerns.

"Aren't you afraid that the other survivors will rise up against you?" Wu Yijun finally asked what many people were worried about.

If Bai Ze wants to say that he wants to be the new head of state and monopolize military power after the establishment of the Xinhua Kingdom, all this is easy to say. His exploits will go down in history and even be praised by the world as a hero who saved the country.

However, Shirasawa's goal is to become king.

The Führer and the King are similar from a certain point of view, so even if they are two different titles, there should not be much of a problem. Ancient kings were not omnipotent. They also need to listen to the aristocracy, like the head of a state.

So why is there a problem with being a king? The reason is simple.

To be king, one needs to build a dynasty.

A dynasty means that all the power of the country that becomes a dynasty will fall into the hands of the royal family. Citizens will no longer have the right to choose their rulers, and each generation of kings will always be princely heirs.

Bai Ze said indifferently: "Afraid? Afraid of what? Those who don't dare to fight zombies? Or are you afraid of someone weaker than me? Even if the army appears in front of me, it can only bow to my fist! ”

Hearing his answer, and with a hint of arrogance to the point of being extremely confident, the people in the room were stunned. Although Bai Ze's voice was indifferent, the killing intent faintly revealed in his words made everyone's hairs stand on end.

Bai Ze was ready for everything. In the past seven days, when he occasionally rested for a few minutes, he would chat with Linglong about the next road. He thought about it countless times, imagined countless scenarios in his head, and finally decided to establish a dynasty and then switch to factions. Build a place where everyone sees themselves as gods.

Hearing the certainty in his tone, Wu Yijun didn't ask any more questions, but began to seriously think about what to do next. She realized that it was impossible to try to convince Bai Ze. After staying with him for more than a month, she knew in her heart that it would be difficult to make changes when Bai Ze had already made up his mind.

Bai Ze looked at everyone present and announced, "I will not force anyone to participate, I believe you all know how dangerous my path to achieving my ideals is, if any of you are not satisfied with my way." Think my idea is illogical, and you are free to leave the camp. For those who decide to leave, I can give you a week's ration to thank you for your contribution so far. ”

Some began to whisper, and a few hesitated. Except for Fu Yunlong, who had already stated his position of following Bai Ze, the others had not yet made their thoughts clear.

There is no doubt that fulfilling Bai Ze's wish is risky. If they fail, they will undoubtedly all be killed, and even the families they have begun to build up will be shattered. This danger will be exacerbated if the government makes a comeback.

However...... Human beings are born to be greedy.

"!" Xiao Ming slapped the table heavily and stood up. His eyes burned like two blazing flames, and he said, "Go big or go home!" The first - no, Your Majesty! I'm willing to follow! ”

Bai Ze's horror level, Xiao Ming has seen it. With his monstrous strength, it is not a fool's dream to achieve his goal. So...... Why not give it a try?

If Xiao Ming made a mistake, it would be a big deal.

In return, if he wins; Status, power, women, fame, wealth, all kinds of privileges, he has them all at his fingertips. As one of the first to follow the king, Xiao Ming and his family, as well as his descendants, will enjoy unattainable glory! It's all thanks to his vision and the bravery of the past!

Fu Xuefeng scratched his head, stood up, and said with some embarrassment: "Hmm...... Me too. ”

Cai Jingyi and Kang Lan glanced at each other, as if they had agreed in advance, smiled slightly, and stood up. Although he didn't speak, looking at Bai Ze's eyes, it was enough to make people understand that both women decided to follow him.

Luo Ning struggled a few times, jumped off Bai Ze's lap, and said loudly: "Brother Bai, I will also help you become a king!" Then you must help me become a princess! ”

Luo Ning looked at her eldest brother Luo Cheng, and her eyes lit up: "Big brother, can you help us too?" ”

Luo Cheng sighed secretly. To be honest, he doesn't care if Bai Ze wants to be the king or the Jade Emperor, as long as he and his sister can live the current life. So...

Luo Cheng stood up and said calmly: "I also help my sister be a princess." ”

"Hey, hey!" Luo Ning smiled, ran to his side and hugged him tightly.

Gradually, almost everyone in the room stood up, their eyes lit up. They all agreed to join Bai Ze's conquest and form a new force.

If left now, their lives are miserable to say the least, given how cruel the outside world is. Even if they were given a week's worth of food and were able to survive, what would they do? Roaming the forests infested by wild beasts? Going to a zombie-infested city?

Since such a powerful man wants to rule, why not help him pave the way to the top? That way, if they succeed, they can enjoy endless eternal glory! Even lying in the grave, they will be praised and worshipped by countless people!

A few people were still sitting.

Bai Ze looked at the beauties around him and asked lightly, "What about you?" ”

Shangguan Bingxue raised her head and stared at him, obviously thinking about how to answer.

Bai Ze didn't force her, he knew it wasn't an easy decision. Especially for Shangguan Bingxue, after all, she comes from a military family. If she decides to follow Bai Ze, it will be tantamount to betraying the country, betraying her family and ancestors.

However, Bai Ze still hoped that she would accept it. After going through so much, he slowly began to regard Shangguan Bingxue as a good comrade-in-arms, and even felt that it was not impossible to be a friend. But if she wants to leave, he won't force it.

Finally, Shangguan Bingxue seemed to have made up her mind, and said extremely calmly: "Before I make a decision, I have 1 question, 2 requirements, and 1 condition. ”

"Oh?" Bai Ze's eyes lit up slightly, and he saw that he was a little surprised. To be honest, he was not too optimistic and was ready to lose an important and powerful fighter.

"Say what you think." He nodded without hesitation.

"Then let me ask you a question first, if I decide to join you in the war, what is my rank?" Shangguan Bingxue looked into his eyes and asked. Her bright sky-blue eyes were so dazzling, as if she could see through his soul, as if she could see the truth and lies.

Bai Ze smiled and shook his head. The question was easier to answer than he had expected.

"With your intellect and personal strength, I originally intended to make you a high-class nobleman, and the only grand duchess among them, above ten thousand people under one person."

Shangguan Bingxue nodded faintly and continued: "My condition is that if I decide to fight with you, any time I think you have gone crazy for power, you can't stop me from leaving. ”

"You ......" Bai Ze's eyes widened in surprise this time.

What Shangguan Bingxue just said was not as simple as it sounded. She hinted at a lot of things.

It is conceivable how difficult it is for an arrogant woman like her to say such things......

But what shocked Bai Ze the most was another thing.

"Aren't you afraid that I will break my promise?" He asked, confused. "I mean, if one day I'm so consumed by power, why should I let you go? Isn't it more logical that I will do everything possible, even by all possible means, to force you to obey me? ”

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Bingxue shook his head slightly, closed his eyes, and stared at him again: "Although there are many things about you that I don't like, at least I know that you are a trustworthy man...... In that difficult situation, you not only saved everyone you could, but you also kept your word...... Therefore, I believe what you say. ”

Bai Ze was unmoved, he didn't care about the various reactions of different people, and he didn't care about the jealous gaze, and looked at the woman sitting on his right for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "I promise." If one day I am consumed by the lust for power, you and your loved ones can leave at any time. But don't worry, that will never happen. ”

Shangguan Bingxue shook his head, ignoring Bai Ze's promise, it remains to be seen whether he can resist the temptation of power. Although Shangguan Bingxue has always maintained his sanity and personality, he has also seen many people completely change after gaining power.
