Little Bruce is awakened from hunger in his sleep.

He groped his stomach and walked out of the tent, and saw several men who were still on duty for the night leaning against the fire and chatting.

He followed, crouching there, soaking up every shred of warmth.

There are more than 30 people in this camp, many of them are the same as them, they joined halfway, there is no leader here, there are no mandatory rules, only the people who go out to search for the materials they find, and the work in the camp is shared by everyone.

Yesterday, the search team went out to work for a day, and they didn't get much food, everyone was hungry, and today, he was going to go out to search with his brother, and the two of them should be able to share a little more.

Thinking of his wife, who had lost a lot of weight, and his nephew, who was yelling that he couldn't eat all day long, he couldn't help but curse this world in his heart, damn it, their family turned out to be a famous rich family in the town.

Just when he wanted to be cheeky and find the next door to borrow some food to deal with the emergency, there was a sudden noisy footsteps in his ears.

Before he could react, he heard many people shouting:

"Be honest, don't move, our guns don't have eyes."

"If you don't want to die, don't move."

"Put down your weapons, or Lao Tzu will kill you with one shot."

Little Bruce saw dozens of strong men wearing uniform black leather armor, holding submachine guns that were very powerful at a glance, and the muzzles of countless black holes were facing them, so that he couldn't afford to resist in his heart.

Soon, all the members of the camp were awakened, and no one dared to resist in the face of the threat of death, some with fear on their faces, some with hatred on their faces, and some with numbness.

At this time, from the other party's camp, a very tall and strong man came out, handsome, with good temperament, green and deep eyes like an abyss, with a warm smile on his face, if it weren't for the muzzles of those black holes around him, this must be a very likable man.

The man's voice was deep and magnetic.

"Friends, please do not be afraid, we are not predators, nor are we killers."

"We are an umbrella company, an organization that exists to protect the hope of humanity."

"The reason why I am pointing a gun at you is just that I don't want to cause harm to both sides because of unnecessary trouble."

"For the next week, you'll be brought to our base and work for us for a week."

"It's not forced labor or slavery."

"Our company is a very humane enterprise, with very good salaries, not only providing food and accommodation, but also providing protection of life and property."

"One day of working in our company, you can get 2~3 days of survival materials, and after a week, if you still want to continue working for the umbrella company, we will officially sign a recruitment agreement."

"If anyone wants to leave, we won't stop you, you can leave safely with the supplies you earned."

"We are an honest organization, and this invitation is a bit rude, please don't mind."

The handsome man nodded to an Asian man next to him.

"We'll take your weapons for safety, but don't worry, we'll return them to you in full when you leave, and you can even buy bullets from us."

"Alright, please hand over your weapons, pack up your personal belongings, and get ready to leave with us."

In the face of threats and promises, those who had made up their minds to resist also became hesitant, and if it was really as the man said, it would be a good choice to leave or stay in their camp in the end.

They are all very ordinary survivors, and they don't have the courage to fight to the death.

When everyone honestly handed in their weapons and packed their luggage, the macho man actually brought over a lot of hot food, saying that it was their breakfast, bread, eggs, and milk.

Little Bruce was stunned, although before the disaster, he didn't bother to look at these things, but now, these are scarce materials.

couldn't care so much, he, his brother, his wife and nephew all picked up the food and began to gobble it up, and there was not so much resistance to the other party's coercion.

Those who can provide food for you in these years are good people.

Following the group's instructions, they were assigned to different cars, but not separated from their families, and after more than two hours of driving, the Bruce Jr. family was taken somewhere in Atlanta, as if it was called the CDC.

As soon as they arrived, they were stunned, hundreds of humans were working in full swing here, and countless steel pipes and steel nets were erected to form a steel fence nearly three meters high.

The occasional zombie who heard the sound was very easily killed by the black-armored soldiers behind the workers, and they didn't even use firearms, but they could easily kill one by poking hard at the zombie's eye socket through the steel mesh.

After everyone got out of the car, the tall and handsome man summoned a middle-aged man who was in a flow and gave him a few commands.

Then he summoned a craftsman in charge to give some orders, and came to the group.

With a smile on his face, he said:

"I've already spoken to the management here, you're all temporary workers at the moment, and someone will come to guide you later."

"We will provide you with temporary food and lodging, and you will be given housing at the end of your evening work, which will be deducted from your total salary."

"It's best not to run away, there are many zombies nearby, it's very dangerous."

After saying that, the man nodded at them, and left without any additional restrictions.

Let the dozens of people here look at each other a little.

However, they really didn't want to escape, and it was the first time they had seen so many humans since the disaster, and the heavily armed black-armored soldiers around them made them feel safe and frightened.

In this way, they began to build the steel fence like everyone else, and the food at noon and evening was quite abundant, so that the survivors who had been adrift once again enjoyed the happiness of having enough to eat.

In the evening, they were assigned to a suite in a luxury hotel, which was quite tidy, and although there was no water or electricity supply, they could pick up hot water from the staff on the first floor.

They chatted with the regular employees around them at work, and the real base of the umbrella company is inside the CDC, which is a truly civilized paradise, where they can not only take hot showers, but also watch TV, watch movies, play games, and exchange their weekly wages for a lot of food and daily necessities.

Compared to these regular employees who joined the umbrella company, their past lives were nothing short of shit.

Gradually, as he got to know more and more, Bruce felt less and less resistance to this place, but had an urge to join here.

From the next day, Bruce Jr. found that his fellow campers were getting more and more serious about their work, with more or less smiles on their faces, and many of them took the opportunity to get close to the regular employees around them, as if they were adapting to the environment in advance.

That's not a bad life, isn't it?
