“Thank You Elder Liu for not blaming me, but I still feel responsible for the outcome. I am unable to forgive myself.” Zhang ShengLi shook his head, and looked very demoralized.

“Okay, if it makes you feel better then I will temporarily remove your position as vice leader, due to your mistakes I will suspend it for two days. Within this time, use it to reflect upon your actions.” Liu Gan said to Zhang ShengLi. Liu Gan knew that Zhang ShengLi was the type of person that would have a huge inner guilt built up if he wasn't properly punished.

“Good! I feel like the current me, doesn't deserve to have the responsibility of a vice leader. I will work my way back up to prove to you and myself through hard work.” Zhang ShengLi accepted the terms of the punishment, and felt a lot better about himself.

“ShengLi, the three riders are level 5 players. I guaranteed their safety when they surrendered. I will force them to reveal their abilities, but for now arrange for someone to keep watch on them. They will be slaves to do our bidding, especially all the hard labor. This way they can repay all the troubles they have caused us.” Liu Gan said to Zhang ShengLi.

“Okay, since Elder Liu has ordered it, I won't kill them, but I will make sure you slaves pay through labor.” Zhang ShengLi walked over, and kicked the three riders. These were the same riders that kept laughing and taunting Zhang ShengLi earlier. It infuriated Zhang ShengLi to the point that just killing them would be considered an easy way out.

On top of that, the prison compound really needed to replenish its human personnel, so it was a risky move, trusting these riders. Due to the earlier conflicts between the two base camps, the ATV riders were only following orders, which was understandable. Now that the riders had surrendered, they will be kept under watchful eye.

Previously Liu Gan had made sure that his own group were treated equally and fairly, so only the three newly annexed ATV riders had slave status. Only members can obtain the rights of being treated fairly. The duty of the three ATV rider slaves were to do things that regular members wouldn't want to do. If the slaves maintained their good record, then they could obtain their freedom and become a member. Otherwise, only death awaited those individuals with a bad record.

The lawful world is a thing of the past. In the current apocalyptic world, reviving slavery was the only viable solution for dealing with prisoners of war. There will be many fights that will break out in the future, so more prisoners can be expected. However, with Liu Gan’s rules, even slaves could become a member of their society through hard work.

Liu Gan forcefully pressured the riders into revealing their abilities one by one. Obediently, the riders demonstrated by showing it directly. One was a [Hawkeye] ability with the crossbow, it enabled the user to shoot the arrow with twice the force from within 20 to 50 meters. With this ability, this person had used his ability to assassinate the previous evildoers. Perhaps with a firearm and the activation of the ability, it could enhance the firepower of the gun. However, the rider never had the chance to get his hands on a gun to try.

Another rider activated their ability; it was a [Shield Bash] ability, which would violently slam the user forward towards the target. It was a power that could be considered as an unstoppable force when wielding a shield, or something which resembled a shield. When activated, the ability of the force could break through a wall of cement. Finally, the last rider had awoken an ability that was similar to Lee Miao’s [Treatment], this ability could heal himself, and a nearby companion’s wounds.

These level 5 players were still considered dangerous, and required a specific imprisoning method for each rider. Zhang ShengLi drew up different plans for each of them. The [Hawkeye] and [Shield Bash] ability players were bound at their legs and hands. This was to prevent them from plotting anything, and doing any harm to other team members. As for the [Treatment] player, he would be escorted by two level 5 team members to aid with Lee Miao, and treat the injured team members.
