My Perfect Apocalyptic Life

“Everyone, stop what you’re doing for a moment. This is Attorney Zhang, who will be working in our legal department from now on. If you have any legal questions, you can consult him.”

Meng Xu, with a rosy complexion, led Attorney Zhang Wei and introduced him briefly to all employees.

“Attorney Zhang will answer all your legal inquiries thoroughly! Let’s give him a warm welcome.”

With that, Meng Xu started clapping first.

The rest of the employees followed suit, though their applause sounded rather reluctant.

It wasn’t that they had any complaints about Meng Xu’s leadership, but because…

Zhang Lunping took a deep breath, staring at the being behind Meng Xu—an utterly disfigured zombie.

Attorney Zhang Wei now looked dreadful, as if he had been severely beaten. His head was misshapen, especially his forehead, which had a deep indentation that seemed to have been caused by something hard.

If he were human, he’d probably be barely conscious by now.

But being a zombie, Zhang Wei seemed unaffected.

Little Zhang Wenqi started crying again, and Zhou Yanni turned pale.

Though Zhou Yanni knew about Meng Xu’s iron-willed kindness, his methods and logic were simply too terrifying, more monstrous than the monsters themselves, looking even scarier than the zombies.

Compared to Meng Xu, the zombies wandering outside seemed like harmless little rabbits.

Zhang Lunping’s mind was racing, thinking about the significance of having a lawyer in the team and how he should respond to any potential questions from Chairman Meng.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yanni noticed something else.

Shen Zhaozhao, standing beside Meng Xu, looked quite unwell today. Even her hands, holding the bag of chicken cutlets, were trembling.

What’s wrong with her?

Zhou Yanni was puzzled, guessing that Shen Zhaozhao must have witnessed something unbelievable outside, resulting in such a panicked expression.

She looked as if her whole worldview had been redefined.

Shen Zhaozhao felt a heavy weight on her heart.

For Shen Zhaozhao, her worldview had indeed been reshaped.

Just ten minutes ago, she had witnessed how Chairman Meng recruited zombie employees.

The process and steps were quite simple.

Disagree?

Then beat him until he agrees!

And he didn’t just beat him; he hurled insults while doing so.

The insults… were incredibly foul!

Saying things like, ‘Attorney Zhang, just like you, I know nothing about anything. Can I be a lawyer too?’ and ‘Can the plaintiff get twenty years after your trial?’—it was utterly brazen.

And during the beating and insulting, Chairman Meng would laugh with a sinister ‘kekekeke,’ making the whole scene resemble that of a psychopathic killer!

It terrified Shen Zhaozhao, her face turning pale with fear.

After about ten minutes of this, Attorney Zhang finally gave in. He admitted to his mistakes and agreed to join the Legal Department of the First Division of the Peace and Order Group, even volunteering to lower his salary to 10,000 yuan a month.

Afterward, Chairman Meng forcibly pressed Attorney Zhang’s fingers to ink and sign a servitude contract.

Truly terrifying!

Anyone in her shoes would be scared out of their minds.

However, Shen Zhaozhao would keep all of this to herself and never let this top company secret slip out.

She would bear this pain alone!

Loyalty!

With this thought, Shen Zhaozhao’s hands finally stopped trembling, and her eyes grew determined.

As for Meng Xu, he neither understood nor cared to understand Shen Zhaozhao’s inner turmoil.

After all…

Recruiting zombie employees through special means was pretty much his unique skill.

Even if others wanted to learn, they simply couldn’t.

Meng Xu had never planned to keep it hidden.

Meng Xu was in a good mood now because he could see Attorney Zhang Wei’s attributes.

【Name: Zhang Wei】
【Occupation: Zombie (Level 0), lawyer (Level 4)】
【Position: Legal Specialist, Legal Department, First Division of Peace and Order Group (K1 Level)】
【Effect: When ‘Zhang Wei’ is in the company, any legal compensation costs are reduced by 5%.】
【Monthly Salary: 12,000 yuan.】

Meng Xu was quite satisfied with Zhang Wei.

Not only because of the 5% compensation reduction but more importantly, through their ‘peaceful coexistence,’ Attorney Zhang Wei had ‘willingly’ lowered his salary from 30,000 yuan a month to 12,000 yuan. Truly a model employee and worthy of his long-standing intellectual bond!

Thinking of this, Meng Xu nodded in satisfaction, patted Zhang Wei’s shoulder, and sincerely said, “Work hard. The position of Director of the First Division is still vacant, and I think you have great potential.”

Attorney Zhang Wei let out a powerless roar, his eyes filled with fear and dread towards Meng Xu.

Such a human-like expression was exceptionally rare to see on a zombie.

“Alright, now that Attorney Zhang’s matter is settled, it’s time for the whole company to take action. We will go to the underground parking lot and transport fruits from the fruit shop. The company ordered many boxes of apples there, and it’s not appropriate to leave them in the fruit shop. We need to bring them back to the company as soon as possible to make them company property.”

Meng Xu spoke calmly, deciding to initiate the company’s first formal mobilization.

This mobilization would require many employees.

And it would be dangerous.

Although Meng Xu had cleared the underground parking lot and the surrounding roads, there was always a risk.

If a human employee were to die…

He didn’t even want to think about what would happen to his newly founded company.

But they couldn’t just do nothing, could they?

Let’s go!

Upon hearing Meng Xu’s directives, no one had any objections.

Everyone had long been prepared for this. Living in the apocalypse, who could afford to do nothing every day? Whether for survival or for a glimmer of hope, everyone had to contribute their share to feel some sense of security.

Meng Xu, satisfied with the motivated employees, declared, “Let’s go!”

Thus, a bustling group set off toward the underground parking lot.

And they brought along the fried chicken cutlets.

Meng Xu hadn’t forgotten his task—promoting the chicken cutlets along the way.

As soon as they reached the third floor, Meng Xu encountered Li Xiang, who was guarding the area, and Chi Wei, who had just finished moving the corpses. They stared intently at Meng Xu, their eyes filled with an unmistakable fervor.

It was clear that they had a longing for Meng Xu.

Seeing this, the human employees were puzzled and looked at Meng Xu with concern.

Could the enslaved zombies be planning a revolt?

Zhang Lunping wondered silently.

But Meng Xu remained perfectly calm.

He knew why Chi Wei and Li Xiang were looking at him—it was all about that evolution crystal.

However, when had he ever said that he would definitely give them the evolution crystal?

What he had mentioned was ‘a chance’!

Don’t they understand what ‘a chance’ means?

Glancing at the time, which was just past noon, Meng Xu nodded in satisfaction and then spoke earnestly to Li Xiang and Chi Wei.

“Li Xiang, Chi Wei, your team has made significant contributions this time! According to this Chairman’s assessment, your contributions are already at 99.9%! Complete just 0.1% more, and you’ll earn that red crystal. Excited? Now get back to work, don’t just stand there!”

Upon hearing Meng Xu’s words, the two zombies roared reluctantly but went back to work.

Witnessing Meng Xu’s clever manipulation, Zhang Lunping, Zhou Yanni, and Shen Zhaozhao all looked at him with disbelief.

Zombies…

Why can they understand human speech?

So, when we normally talk to zombie colleagues, can they also hear us? Is Chairman Meng truly insane, or does he possess immense wisdom, appearing mad yet truly sane?

As they pondered, Zhang Lunping, Zhou Yanni, and Shen Zhaozhao found themselves deeply puzzled about the nature of zombies, feeling utterly confused.

Meng Xu was very pleased with the success of his Making Promises strategy.

Since becoming a Level 1 Chairman, Meng Xu felt that he was getting increasingly adept at this skill.

This evolution crystal could last him at least a week!

What?

Their contribution value are already 99.9%?

Hah, you’re still too naive.

Meng Xu had learned from an excellent predecessor, adopting advanced techniques.

Though their contribution is at 99.9%, to achieve the final 0.1%, they still need to go through four more steps: 0.01%, coins, diamonds, speed-up cards, and exchange cards. And during these steps, there’s a chance that your coins/diamonds/speed-up cards/exchange cards could be stolen by a mouse.

Want to earn the evolution crystal through contributions?

Kekekeke, maybe in your next life!

It can only succeed if I want to give it!

Despite being a company boss for only a few days, Meng Xu had perfectly transitioned from an employee’s mindset to that of a Chairman.

Because he had been through the rain of hardships, should he provide shelter to zombies? Wrong!

It’s because he had been through hardships that zombies should also experience hardship—evening the score..

Hey zombie, go get drenched! Obediently follow my commands!

Meng Xu’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.

Hmph, foolish zombies.

Facing such cruel exploitation by a capitalist, zombie Li Xiang and zombie Chi Wei still remained clueless, diligently working and managing to suppress their zombie instincts without attacking Meng Xu’s human employees.

Zombies not eating people and working diligently are good; Meng Xu deceiving zombies is sly, making him bad!

After sending the zombies away, Meng Xu nodded in satisfaction, then called to the remaining employees, “Let’s go, move the fruits! Take whatever you want to eat, don’t be shy.”

If an employee dies, besides the immediate compensation from the company, the fruit shop, as the party responsible for the death, must also compensate accordingly!

Therefore, the Peace and Order Group’s act of emptying the fruit shop is entirely legal.

Take note, everyone.
