"Why are you willing to risk your life for Zhou Chenggong and even gave him all the food?"
Wang Hao put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and asked softly.
"He gave me 200,000 yuan, and when we get back safely, he'll give me another 800,000."
Brother Wolf didn't hide anything and said directly.
"Hmm, a million is indeed a considerable amount."
Wang Hao nodded, looking at Brother Wolf:
"But risking your life for just a million? Especially in times like these, a million is nothing. With your skills and guns, it would be easy to get more."
"I have a daughter. I want to give her a better life, and I can't go to jail. If I get imprisoned, no one will take care of her, and her future would be affected."
Brother Wolf lowered his head, looking at the gun in his hand, appearing somewhat lonely and desolate.
"If I tell you the disaster isn't over, that the snowstorm is just an appetizer, and there will be bigger catastrophes coming, do you believe me?"
Wang Hao spoke faintly.
Brother Wolf shuddered, looked up at him, his eyes seemed to flash with a spark: "What did you say?"
"Do you think I'm crazy?"
Wang Hao leaned on the sofa, smiling as he asked.
"Anyone who says you're crazy, I'll break their legs!"
Mentioning this made Brother Wolf angry.
Zhou Chenggong kept saying Wang Hao was just a lunatic and easy to deal with.
In hindsight, they were the lunatics.
"The apocalypse has already arrived. The days ahead will only get harder. You learned a bit about me from Zhou Chenggong, but what he knows is just the tip of the iceberg."
Wang Hao looked at Brother Wolf, extravagantly showing off his wealth.
Brother Wolf: ...
"I suppose you now realize the importance of resources. This is just the prelude. Later, money will be as worthless as toilet paper, maybe only used to light cigarettes. You're capable; maybe you won't starve alone, but you have a daughter who doesn't have your skills, right?"
At this point, Wang Hao paused, drank some water, then continued:
"Moreover, when walking by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet? We're just at the beginning, and you nearly died already. If you die, I don't need to spell out what future your daughter will face in the apocalypse, do I?"
"What do you want?"
Brother Wolf's voice was low, his expression serious.
Although it was minus several degrees, thinking about what his daughter would face post-apocalypse if he died made him break out in a sweat.
Earlier, he had actually hidden a condition from Wang Hao.
Zhou Chenggong promised him that if he died, he would take care of his daughter.
And Zhou Chenggong had already signed an agreement with him.
That's why he took such a risk.
Wang Hao guessed right; his daughter was his weak spot.
"Work for me, become my man, and I'll ensure you and your daughter live well."
Wang Hao looked at Brother Wolf, seemingly intent on recruiting him.
With the apocalypse here, he had stocked up a massive amount of supplies, not just to live idly by.
Hard times create heroes; anyone can rise to power.
He also wanted to create a community, enjoying the feeling of being a leader.
Moreover, without sufficient power, his resources would eventually be taken away.
Even his villa could hardly be kept safe.
He wasn't sure what kind of mutation would occur.
He was just an ordinary person, despite training, in a physical fight, he could handle one adult but would struggle with two.
In the short term, he didn't plan on leaving the villa.
To develop power, he needed people outside to work for him, find others, and do tasks.
Plus, he needed someone to do chores like laundry and cooking.
Hmm...really just laundry and cooking!
Waiting passively wasn't realistic.
So he needed a capable subordinate.
Brother Wolf was a good candidate.
He had excellent skills, seemed like a retired soldier.
And he had a weak spot.
Wang Hao could use him first to recruit more people, then replace him if better options arose.
Of course, if he was loyal enough, Wang Hao wouldn't mind keeping him as a second-in-command.
Brother Wolf fell into silence.
If, as Wang Hao said, the apocalypse was really upon them.
Then this place was indeed a paradise.
No! Even without the apocalypse, this would be a paradise for them.
But if he let his daughter live here, he would be under Wang Hao's control for life.
Additionally, he didn't fully understand Wang Hao's character.
Could he truly feel at ease leaving his daughter in his hands?
"If the apocalypse truly happens, I can be your subordinate."
In the end, Brother Wolf chose to agree.
The premise being that the apocalypse truly arrived.
If the apocalypse really came, he couldn't think of a better way out.
Wang Hao not only had food but electricity, strong defenses, weapons, and even precious medicines, and so on.
Following him, there was no worry about food, safety, or even illness.
Brother Wolf couldn't find a reason to refuse.
"Very well! As a welcome gift, I'll give you some food and medicine. You can go back and bring your daughter over, I'll wait for you."
Seeing Brother Wolf agree, Wang Hao's face broke into a bright smile.
Now that he was one of his own, he had to provide some adequate help to increase his survival chances.
Wang Hao took another backpack, filling it with high-calorie items like canned meat, jerky, and some cold medicine, fever medicine.
Seeing the contents of the backpack, a slight wave rose in Brother Wolf's eyes.
This was much better than what he received before.
Wang Hao, this boss, seemed pretty decent.
"I left the magazine and gun down."
Brother Wolf placed the handgun and extra magazine down.
It was also a gesture of loyalty.
"Show me how to use it."
Wang Hao squatted down, with a hint of excitement on his face.
Brother Wolf nodded, teaching him how to use it.
He looked experienced with guns, operating skillfully even with gloves on.
After demonstrating three or four times, Wang Hao roughly understood.
Brother Wolf then shouldered the backpack, quickly disappearing into the night.
Through surveillance, after confirming no danger nearby, Wang Hao released a drone, using a grabber to retrieve the gun and magazine.
"Is this a handgun? This feel, this weight, oh boy! It's amazing."
In the living room, Wang Hao cleaned the handgun, then started playing with it.
No man dislikes guns.
He had played with toy guns before, but they couldn't compare to this.
Having this gun made him feel much safer.
"Hmm~~"
After settling everything, Wang Hao stretched widely, his fatigue surfacing.
He had been up all night, and dawn was approaching.
He felt he should catch some sleep.
If nothing unexpected happened, he'd stay up again tonight.
