“Apocalypse + zombies + nuclear wastewater + System + building a faction + not a naive do-gooder + ruthless decisiveness + no mindless decisions + no harem + no womanizing” (If that’s not your thing, read with caution.)
“Build a faction? No way. Not even a dog would do it! What? I can see their loyalty ratings?”
And so, under Huang Sheng’s relentless psychological manipulation, a group of loyal underlings gathered around him, and a mighty sanctuary rose from the ground.
“Disloyal? How could that be? My brothers are all completely faithful... because I’ve already killed anyone who wasn’t.”
“What? The people next door have a Tier 2 Evolver now!? And we only have eighteen Tier 2 Evolvers and three Tier 3 Evolvers? No good, we need to develop faster! I have a pathological fear of being underpowered.”
“How many people do they have?”
“Just a hundred thousand.”
“How many do we have?”
“A whole eight hundred!”
“Good. Since we’ve got the advantage, let’s go kick their asses!”
“We’ve never been a one-man show. Every decision is made by unanimous vote. Anyone who agrees I should be the city lord, raise your hand... Guards, drag off those few who didn’t raise theirs... Mm, since everyone agrees, I, Huang Sheng, will humbly accept the role of your leader!”
The meaning behind the name:
“When a beam of light shines into the darkness and exposes the filth and depravity within, that beam of light becomes guilty.”
When the apocalypse arrived, Huang Sheng was like a lamp-bearer walking through the night. He exposed the filth and depravity lurking in the darkness, while showing the way to those lost in despair.
