Special Agent’s Rebirth: The Almighty Goddess of Quick Transmigration - Chapter 273

Soon, Su Ran gathered everyone together—over three hundred people in total.

Compared to just a few days ago, the collective aura of these three hundred individuals had noticeably grown stronger.

“Miss Ye, everyone is here,” Su Ran said, turning to Ye Shaohua.

Ye Shaohua nodded and looked directly at the crowd.

The three hundred people had no idea what was happening. They had arrived in confusion, but the moment they saw Ye Shaohua, their expressions instantly turned respectful. “Miss Ye.”

Perhaps because Ye Shaohua’s expression was unusually stern, even the usually easygoing administrators straightened up.

One of them gave her a complicated look.

Who wouldn’t want their base to grow stronger? But Ye Shaohua’s influence within the base had almost surpassed even Sui Yun’s.

The elite fighters only obeyed Ye Shaohua’s orders. Due to her unique position, these people were effectively beyond his control.

As the base’s administrator, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Still, he said nothing.

If Ye Shaohua was willing to compromise, that would be for the best.

But instead of addressing the three hundred directly, Ye Shaohua pointed at Biao Ge and his group.

“These people refuse to follow my rules. Some withheld their crystal cores and fought with Su Ran’s team. Others resorted to cannibalism.” Her voice was icy. “So now, I’m asking all of you—what do you think of the rules I’ve set? Are you willing to hand over your crystal cores?”

At her words, some in the crowd exchanged uneasy glances.

Truthfully, aside from those who had followed Ye Shaohua from the beginning, most had secretly hoarded zombie cores.

Hearing her question, many began having second thoughts.

“Speak freely. I’m not unreasonable,” Ye Shaohua said, her lips curving slightly.

Her relaxed demeanor emboldened them.

In the apocalypse, crystal cores were more valuable than food. After risking their lives to obtain them, who would willingly hand them over?

Many resented this rule, feeling exploited.

Seeing Ye Shaohua’s mild expression, their hesitation faded.

Lately, she hadn’t been particularly strict. She often seemed indifferent, lacking the ruthless authority they expected from a leader.

Encouraged, their defiance grew.

“Miss Ye, I do think your demands are unfair,” Wei Qi spoke up first. “Forcing all of us to surrender our crystal cores—that’s just too much.”

Feeling the weight of the three hundred pairs of eyes on him, Wei Qi straightened his back, a flicker of satisfaction crossing his face.

“Good,” Ye Shaohua nodded. Then, she commanded, “All of you, return to your squads. Line up according to your assigned teams.”

At her order, Su Ran and the others immediately moved to the front of their respective squads.

“First Squad, assembled!” Su Ran reported.

“Second Squad, assembled!”

“Third Squad—”

In just thirty seconds, the chaotic crowd of three hundred had neatly organized into fifteen squads.

Even the base administrator and Sui Yun stared in shock.

Most of these people had been scattered, independent fighters before joining Ye Shaohua’s ranks.

Just then, someone from the laboratory approached.

“Miss Ye,” the man said respectfully, “the Doctor said there’s a formula he doesn’t understand—”

“Later,” Ye Shaohua waved him off. “I have something else to deal with first.”

The base administrator frowned.

That was the Doctor’s personal aide—a man who had barely left the Doctor’s side since arriving at the base.

Why was he seeking out Ye Shaohua now?

The aide simply nodded and stepped aside, eyeing the scene curiously.

Ye Shaohua turned back to the assembled squads, her smile fading.

“All those who think my rules are unfair, who refuse to hand over crystal cores or submit to my authority—step forward.”

Wei Qi was the first to move.

She smirked inwardly. This girl really doesn’t know how to lead.

Others, seeing Ye Shaohua’s calm expression, hesitated—then began stepping forward as well.

“I have a younger sister, a strength-based mutant,” one of Su Ran’s teammates spoke up. “Today, I finally got a Tier-1 strength core. I want to keep it for her. Miss Ye’s rules are too harsh. Why can’t I keep what I earned?”

Su Ran suppressed a cold laugh. *If not for Miss Ye giving you a Tier-2 core, you’d still be stuck at Tier-1! How could you have even gotten a Tier-1 strength core on your own?*

Outwardly, however, he smiled. “You make a fair point.”

Encouraged, the man continued, “Is it wrong to care for my family? Miss Ye is selfish. She’s not fit to lead.”

With that, he strode out, joining Wei Qi.

More wavering individuals followed.

The temptation of the cores was too strong—especially for Tier-3 mutants, who could now kill Tier-2 zombies. A Tier-2 core could buy them a decent home.

Giving up something they’d once struggled to obtain felt like cutting off a limb.

Soon, over a hundred people had stepped forward.

Wei Qi glanced back at the growing crowd, then smirked at Ye Shaohua.

Only then did Ye Shaohua’s smile vanish.

She swept her gaze over the rebels, then turned to the base administrator.

“I recall making it clear when I took these people in—they had to follow my rules.”

The administrator paled.

Ye Shaohua’s voice turned icy.

“Since these people refuse to obey my rules, the solution is simple.”

Her eyes hardened.

“Get out of my squad.”
