Chapter 388 – Complete Nonsense
TL: xDh20, LifeisaJourney
As of now, Liu Gan had several tasks at hand that he could accomplish. The very next day he would have to arrange for the installation of the communication device to be finished. After that he would have to find a way to reach the airship Brave. Then, Liu Gan would board the airship when it picked up DongDong.
The next task was that Zhan Nan Shan had given Liu Gan a map. On the map was an indicator of the secret laboratory’s location. If it was indeed the location of the laboratory, then there was a high chance of obtaining treasures.
Zhan Nan Shan had handed over the map with clear warnings about the dangers of the laboratory. The dangers within the laboratory warded off Zhan Nan Shan from ever trying. Without any intention of ever entering the laboratory, Zhan Nan Shan handed over the map to Liu Gan.
There was also… the possibility that this was part of Zhan Nan Shan’s plot. Second Elder’s performance was quite strange today. The claims of leaving behind a village without any strings attached were just too suspicious. Liu Gan didn’t quite believe that people didn’t have any selfish motives. Zhan Nan Shan could be waiting, but what it could be was still hard to tell. The first step was to monitor his actions to see if he was true to his words.

The very next day, Liu Gan started establishing his army. This world was very different from the real world. There was no such thing as weak elderly and defenseless women. If they could walk and swing, then they could fight, kill zombies, and level up. As long as they didn’t have any untreatable disability, then they can enroll into the army.
The workload was immense, Liu Gan merely suggested the idea and outline of the plan. As for executing this plan, Han GuangMing and QiuTao would be left in charge of leading the Elder Committee to implement regulations.
Liu Gan took the opportunity to announce a very important new rule. From that point forth, all local survivors were emancipated. All the local survivors and players would have the same rights and benefits. Players would not have any ownership of survivors. The capable survivors would have to register their information onto the roster. All this would be managed by Fifth Elder LuLu.
The Beginner Village would not tolerate any slave ownership. Raping a female local survivor was equivalent to raping a female player. The punishment would be equally severe.
This new rule stirred up a lot of player’s fundamental benefits. Amongst the Elder Committee, nearly eighty of those Elders were collectively protesting and rebelling. Liu Gan killed the ten leading organizers for spearheading the rebellion. The bodies of these ten organizers were hung on a tree in the plaza center for everyone to see. From then on, no one wanted to stir up any trouble.
On the other hand, instead of rebelling, several Elders and several regular players tried to escape the village with their private property. They were preparing to escape and establish a new base to continue their slave owner lifestyle. Fortunately, they didn’t get a chance to escape too far away when NaNa caught up and killed the leader of the group. These escapees were escorted back to the village.
On the other hand, there were many that voluntarily pledged their allegiance to Liu Gan. This way they could be put into an important position, like QiuTao. Some of the more quick-thinking local survivors signed up for the new patrol squads. These new few days were very tense, so frequent patrols were necessary to suppress any conflicts.
Regime takeovers were bloody occurrences, especially when it involved a change in the social structure. Without shedding some blood, it was impossible to realize. Liu Gan was never a fan of democracy, since he felt the democratic leadership was inefficient. When there was an imbalance in power, then the democratic leader title was complete nonsense.
