At this moment, what Gu Manzi and Tong Xiaoyun were feeling for Yue Zhong could not be considered as love. They wanted to possess him, purely for the sake of living a better life in this cruel, post-apocalyptic world. Love was considered a luxury that only the strong possessed the right to enjoy. The weak could only focus on surviving, much less talk about love.
The fact that Yue Zhong could win Zhuo Yatong’s heart was purely by chance. As for the relationship between him and the other 2 girls, there was no prior interaction- to suddenly develop feelings for each other would be considered a fantasy.
Under the eyes of the various people present, Yue Zhong walked up directly to Xiong Zheng, holding a .54 Handgun to his head as he coldly said,
“Who are you people? I only want the truth, if you say any lies, I will instantly blow apart your head!”
Seeing how aggressive Yue Zhong was, the survivors looked at one another and their fear towards him in their hearts increased by yet another notch. They knew that he was heavy-handed and could kill without blinking, but this sort of fierceness really made them feel cold in their hearts.
“Don’t shoot!! I’ll say!! I’ll say whatever you want to know, as long as I know, I will tell you!!”
Xiong Zheng broke out in cold sweat the moment he felt the gun pointing at his head. From the very start, he hadn’t been some heroic warrior who did not fear death: being threatened by Yue Zhong thus caused him to panic.
One of the militants suddenly called out loudly. “Xiong Zheng!! Our boss has not neglected you, yet you still dare to betray him!! Don’t tell me you’re not afraid that he will kill you and your woman!!”
Yue Zhong did not even let him say another word before changing his aim towards that militant’s head and pulling the trigger.
With a ‘bang’, the militant’s head exploded. Bits and pieces of his skull, brain and blood splattered everywhere, causing the timid survivors to let out screams of horror.
Wang Jian and the other policemen frowned. They could not bring themselves to totally agree with Yue Zhong’s methods as they had a strong sense of justice. However, while they were righteous, they were not pedantic or overscrupulous. Prior to the apocalypse, they had already known the dirty side of society.
There were even instances where as long as their threshold was not crossed, they would obey orders to carry out certain orders that might go against their moral code. If they had been too concerned with minor things and proceeded to lodge complaints, they might already have lost their rice bowls.
(TN: Basically, even if a mission crosses their bottom line, they still had to earn their keep)
Seeing the death of that militant who had suddenly spoken out, the rest of the militants became fearful and did not make any further sounds.
Yue Zhong coldly let his gaze linger around the militants, saying,
“Those who still want to be loyal to their benefactor, just come out now. I will give you a chance and send you on your way to be loyal to him.”
All the militants immediately shrank back in silence.
Yue Zhong then moved his gun back to Xiong Zheng’s head, saying coldly,
“You can speak now! Tell me all that you know!”
“Yes! Yes! I’ll speak!! I’ll Speak!!” Xiong Zheng was also thoroughly frightened by Yue Zhong’s killing without hesitation. He spoke like a jar of spilled beans, giving out all the information on the militants that he knew.
Xiong Zheng and the rest were from a gang called the Clear Wind Camp. After the apocalypse had occurred, there were simply too many zombies and also evolved zombies. The evolved zombies didn’t fear bullets and were extremely difficult to deal with as well. Mutant beasts were also a huge problem, ferocious beyond belief and aggressive in nature. Compared to zombies and mutant beasts, normal humans were the weakest.
