Chapter 204: Creating BEC Creature
The others had no objections. With their leader dead and their strongest fighter reduced to a pile of melted metal, they knew resisting was pointless. Zack nodded and tossed a small chip from his suit. The chip landed on the back of Lady Clara's neck. She felt a sharp sting, but she didn't flinch. "That chip has a self-destruct system," Zack said coldly. "I assume you understand what that means."
Lady Clara remained composed, though a chill ran down her spine. "Understood, sir," she said smoothly. She had already seen his power firsthand. There was no point in resisting now.
"Good." At that moment, Zack's mechanical army arrived. A wave of combat machines rolled in, their cold, metallic frames gleaming under the dim sunlight.
The survivors shuddered as Zack made his final declaration. "From now on, this city is a territory of NYC." He left behind dozens of mechanical dogs as enforcers.
Lady Clara, now the appointed overseer, bowed slightly. "As you command, my lord." She had no complaints. She had fought and clawed her way through the apocalypse, leading her people through hell. But Zack? He was on another level entirely.
Zack turned to her. "How many people are here?"
Clara thought for a moment before answering. "Sir, we have 4,300 people. Most are young adults. Only a handful of eldery and children remain."
Zack wasn't surprised. There were hardly any elderly left in this world. Survival was brutal, and without the old generation, human civilization itself was at risk. He spoke in a commanding tone. "Select 1,000 able-bodied adults and send them to the NYC steel plant. The mechanical dogs will ensure their safety."
Lady Clara nodded. "Understood, sir. I will begin the selection immediately." Zack watched her go, satisfied. She was efficient. And efficiency was exactly what he needed.
