Chapter 126 - Chapter 126: Helpless

Kelly continued, "Let me help you manage the community in a scientific way. If this model is good, it can even be expanded to other places."

"It's the end of the world now, and all kinds of systems in the world are in chaos. Even if we establish a kingdom, it won't be a problem."

"You will be the king, and I will assist you. What do you think?"

Jack just smiled.

At least he graduated from T University of Technology with five years of social experience.

Not yet fooled by a woman who engaged in pyramid schemes.

"I'm not interested."

Jack coldly dropped these three words and did not intend to continue discussing this topic.

"But…"

Kelly anxiously wanted to continue persuading, but she saw Jack waving her hand at her.

"Don't say it again, I'm really unfamiliar with it, and I don't want to hear you talk that way."

Jack's resolute gaze darkened Kelly's face, as if she had lost her strength and took two steps back.

After the battle last night, this woman must have been scared too.

Rather than seeking cooperation with Jack, it was more like seeking Jack's protection.

But who was she?

Kelly said sorrowfully, "If we keep going like this, maybe one day we will die too." Jack glanced at her and emphasized, "You remove the word 'you'. You will die, but I, Jack, won't!"

Jack didn't have any reason to protect her, as she's not very beautiful and a bit old with no residual value.

Kelly shook her head helplessly.

Jack looked at the woman who could barely be considered a strong woman and curiously asked, "As a woman, it's difficult for you to survive alone in the apocalypse. What, you don't have a husband?"

Kelly smiled bitterly and shook her head, "We've already parted ways."

"Oh, I'm alone."

Kelly shook her head and said, "No, I also have a daughter. She started studying abroad at the age of ten, attending a prestigious school."

When talking about her daughter, Kelly's eyes lit up noticeably.

"My life doesn't need to rely on men. After my divorce, I took care of my children and started by washing dishes for others and becoming an apprentice in a beauty salon. Step by step, I have become the president of a quasi listed company today."

"I am no worse than any man! Jack, if you don't cooperate with me for this reason, it must be your loss."

Kelly was still trying her last effort.

Jack touched his nose and said slowly, "Generally speaking, only the top leader of a conglomerate can be called CEO. A small company owner like you can only be called General Manager."

Kelly's face suddenly showed an awkward expression.

"That's not what I said. No one rules that the CEO can only be the boss of the group, right?"

Jack was somewhat speechless.

It seemed that Kelly's cultural level was not higher than that of junior high school.

The group only had shareholders, and the CEO was only a position setting.

She can't even understand this basic corporate position, why pretend to be an entrepreneur!

"That's okay, you can keep busy."

Jack bypassed Kelly and didn't want to continue arguing with this woman who engaged in pyramid schemes.

However, as he gazed into the distance, he saw a scene that surprised him quite a bit.

18 #, which was the harmonious home managed by Warren, presents a completely different scene from other unit buildings.

Warren, wrapped in a thick black down jacket, was vigorously leading the way in shoveling snow.

He was short and unremarkable from a distance, but for some reason, Jack always felt that there was a resilience in this person. In front of Gate 18, everyone was working together in an orderly manner.

After working for ten minutes, everyone should take a break and then have a new person come over to relay.

Jack's heart was greatly touched.

This scene was something he couldn't even imagine in the apocalypse.

Jack couldn't help but walk over and stand not far from Warren, quietly watching them work.

Soon, Warren noticed Jack.

He lifted his head, the black shadow in his eyes was very obvious, and he had also lost a circle of weight.

"Jack? Why did you come here?"

Jack didn't answer his question, he just glanced at the person in # 18.

Although they had a lively expression, there was a hint of brightness in their eyes.

Unlike people in other units, who had completely become numb and were living like zombies.

Jack was somewhat relieved, but also curiously asked Warren, "How did you do it?"

Warren asked, "How did it happen?"

Jack said, "Other units have already fought fiercely due to food distribution issues. But looking at your unit building, this situation has not happened."

"I'm curious, did you use any method to conceal the news?"

A proud expression appeared on Warren's face.

Although he was not tall, he still tried to straighten his chest and said to Jack, "I didn't hide any information at all! From the beginning, I told everyone in our building the result of the negotiations."

This result exceeded Jack's expectations.

He was surprised that Warren dared to do so. Wasn't he afraid of internal turmoil in the unit building?

"So, even with only ten servings of food, it's impossible for all of you to survive. But why don't they rebel?"

Warren seemed to have guessed that Jack would have such a problem.

He said calmly, "No one in this building wants to become a beast. So if there are ten portions of food, we will share them equally; if there is one portion of food, we will also share it equally."

Jack sneered and jokingly said, "But in the end, it's only possible that all of you will die! Not a single person can survive."

"You think you're smart, but in reality, you've made the dumbest choice."

Warren fell silent in an instant, not knowing how to answer Jack's question for a long time.

Because he himself understood that what Jack said was correct.

Human nature and animal nature, obviously the latter was more suitable for surviving in harsh environments.

Jack shook his head and had no intention of continuing to dwell on the issue here.

He came here purely out of curiosity. But he had no interest in caring about the life or death of these people.

Warren saw that Jack was leaving and quickly shouted, "Jack, wait a minute! Can you... can you help us?"

"Sorry, that's not possible."

Jack answered very decisively, without any room for negotiation.

He looked down at the short middle-aged man in front of him from a high position and said indifferently, "With your ability, you can definitely win over a group of the most hopeful to survive."

"People divide their interests and ensure that they can live well in the end times."

"But you hesitate and want everything. However, you don't have the ability to protect everyone, and doing so is equivalent to committing a crime."

"You chose the path yourself, so you'll have to walk on your own."
