TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 95

Chapter 95: Ordinary People’s Lives Aren’t Lives

Seeing the city gate open, Lu Yunzhou, who had gotten up to watch the group of death-seekers leave, vaguely spotted an unexpected figure in the crowd.

Xie YunChuan, what was he doing getting involved in this mess? He’s so powerful, would he be afraid of a few unverified rumors?

They say rumors stop with the wise; wouldn’t he know the truth if he just asked around or investigated a little? He’s not the kind of person who would blindly follow the crowd!

Before Lu Yunzhou could figure out what was going on, he saw the last hesitant and reluctant people leave. Those who didn’t plan to leave quickly ran over to close the gate, lest zombies really rush in, then the fake would become real.

The show was over. Lu Yunzhou, remembering that Cheng Xie had left, planned to investigate his lab, hoping to find something valuable.

Besides, Lin Yi and Lin Yan were nowhere to be seen. Cheng Xie left alone, so it’s possible that Lin Yi and Lin Yan were turned into experimental subjects and locked up in his lab! Lu Yunzhou had to go take a look.

A large portion of the people had left, but the base’s operations still needed manpower. The remaining ability users unanimously decided to go to the lower district to pick some people who could still work to serve as laborers.

Half-Moon City was clearly stratified, with a distinct wall and iron gate separating the middle and lower districts. Normally, people in the middle district wouldn’t bother to glance at the lower district.

At this time, several underlings were assigned the task of selecting laborers in the lower district. They arrived at this iron gate, which they had never paid attention to before. The thick iron gate, more than two meters high, was heavily welded there like a massive weight.

Before, they thought setting up this gate was redundant. People from the lower district weren’t allowed to enter the middle district, and people from the middle district didn’t bother to look at the lower district. Even management was separate, with separate channels for assigning tasks and managing the search for supplies that connected the three districts. Wasn’t this gate unnecessary?

Unexpectedly, it finally had a day to be useful.

Two of the three underlings approached, preparing to open the door. The sound coming from the other side didn’t seem right. One person looked questioningly at his companion, who was also peering through the crack in the door. He also showed a puzzled expression.

The two exchanged hesitant glances, neither wanting to report the anomaly to the person standing there. Wei Biao, seeing them exchanging glances for a long time without taking action, roared, “Are you courting death? You dare to slack off and be lazy in front of me? Don’t you want to live?”

With this roar, one of them simply blinked and pretended to be dead. He put force on his hands, wanting to pull the door open with all his might. He didn’t care what the anomaly was. At this moment, even if there were really zombies outside, he would open it. He didn’t want to reply to Wei Biao at all.

Seeing his companion going all out, Ren Zifang knew he couldn’t avoid it. He reached out and pressed down on his hand that was about to pull the door open. The main reason was that the sound inside really sounded like zombie roars. If they opened it and it really was zombies, they wouldn’t be able to escape.

He had long heard how terrifying Wei Biao’s temper was. He didn’t work under him, and this was a temporary assignment. Thinking that he should talk to him properly, at most he would be scolded a few times, he would just endure it.

So, he cautiously and quietly explained the situation to Wei Biao, “Bi… Biao-ge, we heard what seems to be the sound of zombies inside.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Biao kicked him hard in the waist without saying a word, and said violently: “Bullshit, would I not know if there were zombies? It must be the coolies going crazy from hunger, hurry up and open the door and go in, if you dawdle again, I will kill you.”

There were channels for mutual communication in the base, so that they could be informed in time whether zombies broke in, and there were also special personnel to manage this. In fact, the original intention of setting up the upper, middle and lower districts and completely isolating them was to resist zombie attacks.

In this way, even if one place fell, they could evacuate to another area in time to block the zombies and gain a chance to breathe, so that they wouldn’t be completely wiped out if a breach occurred in one place.

He just didn’t know how it later developed into such a serious discrimination chain, The middle and upper districts were better, they interacted a bit more frequently, and the lower district was directly excluded.

Ren Zifang slammed heavily on the iron gate, “Crack!” He heard the sound of his bones breaking, and helplessly slid down the door. He knew he was crippled.

Dragging his painful body to the side, he buried his head and cried silently. In this end of the world, not to mention the injured, even people with healthy limbs had a hard time surviving, let alone him in his current state.

He didn’t dare to look up even once at the culprit, because he was afraid that the hatred in his eyes would anger Wei Biao and make him really kill him.

In the dog-eat-dog end of the world, Wei Biao was just killing someone, who would say anything to him?

No one would speak up for Ren Zifang. The ability user who brought him to the middle district had long disappeared, most likely killed and his crystal core dug out.

He didn’t understand when he first came to the base, but after so long, he had already seen through it. This was a place where people ate people. There were many moments when he was still thankful that he wasn’t an ability user, otherwise he wouldn’t have survived until now.

Lying on the ground, covering his waist, curled up, enduring the pain, and crying silently, Ren Zifang thought, he should have gone out just now, maybe, he could really find the shelter in his dreams, huh!

Wei Biao’s foot that he retracted stiffened for a moment. Damn, he didn’t control his strength again. Damn it, he’s going to be nagged by those people later, so annoying!

“It’s just a light kick, don’t pretend to be dead, damn it! Who the hell told you to have such brittle bones? If you want to cry, cry far away, don’t dirty my eyes here.”

Ren Zifang endured the severe pain of moving his body, dragging himself forward little by little with both hands. Shouldn’t he be grateful that Wei Biao didn’t give him another kick?

Kong Xiao’er glanced sympathetically at Ren Zifang, who was dragging himself along the ground, and sighed, another poor wretch who didn’t know the situation and took the lead.

Except for those ability users, few people knew that Wei Biao was actually a strength-type ability user.

Because this ability itself wasn’t showy, didn’t have so many cool and colorful fancy effects to display, and, to be honest, this ability was indeed considered the most useless of all abilities. It didn’t have anything, just a little more strength. When fighting zombies, he could smash a zombie’s head with a bare fist, but he could do the same with a hammer in his hand, and he wouldn’t get disgusting brain matter all over his hands.

In the ranks of ability users, he was looked down upon and ridiculed. Therefore, he never boasted about his ability in front of others. Many people who didn’t know the situation thought he was an ordinary person.

He couldn’t afford to offend other ability users, and because he was one of the veterans who started building the base, or perhaps to satisfy some kind of twisted pleasure, in short, he was excluded from the hunting list by those ability users who killed to seize crystal cores.

Ability users prided themselves on being superior and disdained to mock and bully ordinary people. Wei Biao happened to fill this gap. Among the ability users, he was the one who suffered all kinds of bullying. Among ordinary people, he was the absolute oppressor.

So, that’s how it was. Whenever he was unhappy, he would take it out on ordinary people. Precisely because he was a strength-type ability user, ordinary people could hardly withstand his light strike. The number of people killed by him was countless.

It’s much better now. He had gradually learned to control his strength. In the past, Ren Zifang would have died today.
