TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 137
by VolareChapter 137: Killing Them All Isn’t Out of the Question
Luo WuShang’s inexplicably worded sentence made the already silent car even more oppressive.
His meaning was simple: Shuyang Base not only had zombies, but also the kind they were looking for—a level five or higher advanced zombie.
Apart from the two zombies, the other four people in the car were startled by his words, each with their own uneasy thoughts.
They hadn’t heard any news of Shuyang Base being attacked and falling to zombies, so there was only one possibility: the zombie was disguised as a human and had infiltrated the human base.
Xie YunChuan subtly raised his eyes and glanced at Li Shi, who looked human enough in the back seat. Even now, Gu Tangxi and the others still thought he was a human ability user…
They wouldn’t doubt the accuracy of Luo WuShang’s words, because recently, Luo WuShang’s understanding of various zombie activities was comparable to an all-knowing god.
It wasn’t like high-level zombies of level three or four were everywhere. After all, the end of the world had only been going on for a little over half a year, and many people hadn’t even encountered a level three zombie.
But Luo WuShang could always accurately lead them straight into the territory of advanced zombies, as if the whereabouts of those zombies were entirely within Luo WuShang’s grasp.
Xie YunChuan’s heart sank. Just how terrifying had the zombies developed?
He only hoped that the harm done by that advanced zombie to Shuyang Base wasn’t too deep. Although it wasn’t intentional, he still hoped that their actions this time could incidentally rescue Shuyang Base.
Shuyang Base, one of the strongest ten bases established on the continent and ranked third, if it were easily and silently disintegrated by a single advanced zombie, then would humanity still have hope of survival?
…
The group took turns driving for a day and a night. The sky was faintly bright, and the oppressive cold had receded slightly. In the distance, shrouded in mist, they saw the towering base buildings.
Several sentries stood guard on the silvery-white reinforced concrete high walls.
Li Shi’s eyes shone brightly, and every cell in his body came alive. The restless virus within him was already eager to devour fresh blood and have a feast.
Suppressing his excitement, he asked with a rather grave and serious expression, “Shall we just kill our way in?”
Luo WuShang lazily glanced at the four people in front, and said, “I don’t mind, but you should ask them if they agree.”
The life and death of humans were none of Luo WuShang’s business. Killing their way in might even get them a few high-level ability user crystal cores to play with. Those things were much more useful and valuable than advanced zombie crystal cores.
Li Shi glared, “What does it have to do with them? If they don’t go, can’t the two of us kill our way in just the same?”
Except for Xie YunChuan, who had improved a lot and might still be somewhat useful, the others were just there to make up the numbers. It was all the same whether they were there or not.
Gu Tangxi and Xu Yuzhe and the others felt a tightening in their hearts upon hearing this. Unfortunately, Li Shi was telling the truth. If Luo WuShang really wanted to kill his way in, not to mention adding Li Shi, even if he charged in alone, it would be enough to give the people in the base a hard time. They might even be wiped out!
They couldn’t understand why Li Shi, a human, was so bloodthirsty. He was especially ruthless when killing zombies. Who would have thought that he wouldn’t discriminate at all and would be so nonchalant about killing people, even seeming to be faintly excited?
No wonder he was Luo WuShang’s lackey; he was a pervert. No wonder he wasn’t afraid of Luo WuShang’s zombie identity and got so close to him.
Xie YunChuan, on the other hand, was relatively calm, quietly waiting for Luo WuShang’s reply. He also wanted to know Luo WuShang’s attitude towards this.
Luo WuShang said meaningfully with a profound tone, “Shi Zi, if you want to be human, you have to abide by human rules. Small groups should respect each other, be united, and love each other, understand? You have to learn to listen to other people’s opinions in a timely manner, you know?
And, is your newly grown brain not working well? Think about things before you do them. Don’t be like a savage all day long, only knowing how to fight and kill. That’s not good!”
Li Shi was slightly surprised, “Ah!…”
Savage? Him?
Wasn’t it Luo WuShang himself who had been acting like a savage bandit, digging up advanced zombie crystal cores everywhere, making those overlords tremble with fear?
Why did they need to use gentle and circuitous methods and use their brains when it came to a human base? One shouldn’t be so biased as a zombie!
It wasn’t like they couldn’t win. Besides, if they really couldn’t win, couldn’t they just run? How many tough people could there be in a human base!
Xie YunChuan spoke at this time, “Let’s go in and see what the situation is first. If possible, I don’t want you to destroy this human base. None of us want humanity to be extinct.”
The ‘us’ here emphasized Luo Shuyou. He believed that Luo WuShang understood the meaning behind his words.
Xie YunChuan couldn’t control Luo WuShang, but he knew that the unrestrained Luo WuShang would always consider Luo Shuyou a little more when doing things.
Luo WuShang said agreeably, “Then let’s go in. As long as you can solve that zombie yourself, or you can unite with the others in the base to solve it, if I don’t have to take action, then I won’t harm anyone.
But if I need to take action, then that’s another matter. We’ll see how I feel then.
I’m helping them solve a powerful enemy, an advanced zombie. Isn’t it right for them to repay me with a few crystal cores? People, after all, should value reciprocity!” He couldn’t be bullied just because he was a zombie, could he?
“Do you want them to hunt down Luo Shuyou forever after?”
Xie YunChuan couldn’t guarantee that Luo WuShang wouldn’t need to take action. He didn’t know how long that zombie had been lurking in Shuyang Base. He could blend into the crowd and live undetected for so long, so at least there shouldn’t be anyone in the base more powerful than him.
Humans fought their way out of the zombie slaughter, establishing large and small defensive bases, at least on the surface they were united against the zombies. If Luo WuShang blatantly killed the ability users in the base with Luo Shuyou’s face, it would be tantamount to ordering all the bases to hunt down this advanced zombie.
Luo WuShang’s eyes turned sharp, and killing intent was evident, “Then, kill them all!”
Cutting the grass at the roots, it was a dead city, who would know he did it?
Xie YunChuan compromised and negotiated, “Don’t take action lightly. I’ll negotiate with the people in the base. Even if we really can’t beat them, those ability users will still die at the hands of that zombie. When the time comes to let you take action, I’ll negotiate terms with them. If you really want ability user crystal cores, then hide from people and don’t expose yourself.”
Don’t blame Xie YunChuan for being inhuman and not caring about the lives of those ability users. This was already the best solution. If Luo WuShang really started a massacre, then no one could stop him.
Luo WuShang lay back without speaking, but Xie YunChuan knew that he had agreed. He breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that he had agreed!
Gu Tangxi and the others felt a chill down their backs. Although they knew that it was common for ability users to hunt and kill each other to seize each other’s crystal cores in the end of the world, they had never thought about actively killing ability users.
Suddenly hearing these two people discussing this kind of thing, it was really a bit of a creepy sense of fear.
But after a moment of thought, they could understand. There was no need to ask everyone to stick to their own bottom line, especially since Luo WuShang now—was a zombie!
Seeing the guards in front waving to signal them to stop, Gu Tangxi slowed down and said, “We’re almost there, everyone get ready to get out of the car.”
Due to safety concerns, they needed to stop the car and walk over from a distance.
