Having no other choice, the man with long yellow hair had to comply.
"Tie them up," Old Bi ordered.
The two people behind them returned to the vehicle to get the rope.
Once the rope was retrieved, they moved forward to tie them up.
But just as they were about to tie up the long yellow-haired one, he shoved Old Bi’s team mber aside and desperately ran towards the car.
He shouted, "Damn you."
Bam—
Out of habit, Old Bi fired, shooting the long yellow-haired one dead.
With the sound of the gunshot, the long yellow-haired man fell into a pool of blood.
The lip-pierced man and others looked at their "Emperor" who lay in the blood, bowing their heads even lower.
The "Emperor" was the leader of their small group, having survived by chance; they were delinquent youths from the start.
After Doomsday hit, they once cheered, first, they killed the teacher and raped the female classmates.
But no one stopped them, no one could manage them.
Lawless.
Gradually, when they realized truly no one could control them, they beca even more arrogant.
Setting fires, killing, looting with youthful impetuosity, they never knew restraint.
So people are innately kind, others inherently evil.
They were such people. And the "Emperor" was the most vicious among them.
But now, the most vicious one was dead just like that.
The one they feared the most was dead just like that.
Fear made their whole bodies tremble slightly.
Looks like they’ve hit a hard wall.
After killing, Old Bi imdiately took out the walkie-talkie and said to Li Yu, "Director Li, soone tried to escape, I lost control for a mont and shot him dead."
Old Bi joined the Big Camphor Tree Base later, they had co with Luo.
Li Yu’s order was to control these people and bring them back.
But he instead killed soone, feeling a bit uneasy.
Besides, when they were at Furong Mountain, he was always under Mr. Ye’s command, and he often tried to protect other survivors as much as possible.
"Even in Doomsday, you must maintain the ethics of serving the people; I don’t care about others, but my people must do so,"
These words were from Mr. Ye.
But in Doomsday, it’s really too difficult to do so.
They suffered a lot, even paying the price with blood.
But...
Although during this ti, through interaction, he felt Li Yu might be different, having just killed soone might not sit well with Li Yu.
After all, Li Yu said to bring them back.
After Old Bi finished speaking, Li Yu did not imdiately answer.
Silence.
Old Bi continued, "Director Li, rest assured, the others have been controlled. I’ll bring them back now."
"Kill them all to save trouble," Li Yu’s voice ca through the walkie-talkie.
"Okay, I’ll bring them back now. What? Did you an to kill them all?" At first, Old Bi didn’t hear clearly, habitually responded, but soon realized what Li Yu ant.
Li Yu sighed softly, "It’s fine, I was also torn about how to deal with them if brought back. They don’t seem like good people anyway, might as well kill them all to save trouble. Never mind, it’s just their bad luck."
In fact, after five years of Doomsday, Li Yu often did things to minimize risk, without considering morals.
Just to make it seem reasonable and normal when he killed people in front of the base folks, he mostly had reasons and excuses for his killings.
It just so happened now that Old Bi did this.
Might as well do it thoroughly.
Old Bi was evidently surprised by Li Yu’s words, but since Li Yu said so, he complied.
His advantage was that regardless of displeasure, he always executed the leader’s orders resolutely.
That’s how he was under Mr. Ye before.
But this often displeased him because he had to put teammates at risk without reward.
Now, Li Yu was straightforwardly blunt without any pretense.
Sohow fitting his temperant.
Though sowhat... brutal...
Gunshots. Six in total.
Bodies dropped to the ground.
"By the way, make sure to clean up, leave no loose ends," Li Yu reminded once more.
He almost always had to remind; he couldn’t help it.
So many reminders ford muscle mory, avoiding many troubles.
Old Bi complied, then got on the bus.
In the bus, he saw a white plastic box emitting a sll.
A bit perplexed, he used his gun to pry it open.
The sight inside made him angry.
Clearly, it was fragnts of a human arm and fingers.
His gaze shifted right, seeing an iron pot with so bloodstains on it.
This scene spoke volus without words.
A mont ago, he felt a bit guilty; now, he resented letting them die so quickly.
He told Li Yu about it, and Li Yu sighed softly, knowing such things would only increase over ti.
mories of those five years before rebirth ca back. As resources dwindled, more people succumbed as ti went by.
Yet, he had never done such a thing.
If staying alive ant resorting to any ans necessary,
then cannibalism was the one thing he couldn’t accept.
Better death than that.
Every person entering the base, including cooperative personnel, was asked these four questions.
How many zombies have you killed?
How many people have you killed?
Why?
Have you eaten humans?
...
Old Bi poured the gasoline from the bus into a tal barrel and took it away.
The bus had nothing valuable left.
After extracting the gasoline, Old Bi led his team back downstairs.
When Li Yu saw Old Bi returning, he withdrew his gaze.
Seeing Hai Chao still standing there, he told Li Tie, "Take him back, gag him. Gao Ru’s group could co by any ti, so be cautious."
Li Tie nodded and was about to make Hai Chao open his mouth.
Hai Chao obediently opened his mouth, letting Li Tie seal it shut.
He was particularly compliant, moving into the small room without prompting.
Dapao found this amusing: "Very obedient indeed."
Li Yu shook his head; he once encountered a very obedient enemy, but when they needed to be killed, obedience didn’t matter.
The incident that morning was just a minor episode; everyone resud waiting for Gao Ru’s group to arrive.
Centered around Juzi Island, Third Uncle, Luo, Yang Tianlong, Ju Tianrui, Xiao Jun, Li Yu, and others ford a matrix.
From seven kiloters out, they could know if Gao Ru’s group was on their way.
