In the apocalypse, you start with two knives, and all your equipment depends on drops.

Chapter 84 Chain



Chapter 84 Chain

Half an hour later, Bo An and the others regained their superpowers.

The first thing they did was drag Luo Chaotian and his group of thirteen, who were gagged and bound hand and foot, out of the village and throw them into a pile of zombies.

They watched helplessly as the zombies devoured them before finally killing all the zombies and cutting off the heads of the corpses.

......

When Bo Andu and the others returned, Chi Heng and Lin Fengmu and Chu Chenzhou, who had not gone out to kill them all, had already rescued the dozen or so superhumans imprisoned in another house.

I learned through inquiry that the village is called Luojia'ao, and most of the villagers are surnamed Luo.

Some of these people were people from other families who lived here before the end times;

Some of them were people who were passing through after the apocalypse and seeking lodging, and were drugged and imprisoned by Luo Qingxue, Luo Chaotian and others using the same method.

What Luo Mei and Yu Yao didn't expect was that Luo Chaotian was actually Luo Qingxue's uncle, and also a pharmacist.

After the apocalypse, he used Luo Qingxue's younger brother, Luo Qingyu, to force Luo Qingxue to cooperate with him.

They set traps to harm passing superhumans and seize their resources.

These deceived superhumans became mobile blood packs for Luo Chaotian and his group to lure away the zombies.

He had done all sorts of bad things, so it was no wonder he ended up like that!

After all that fuss, it was already past midnight, and the heavy snow that Luo Qingxue had created had disappeared.

The temperature has returned to its previous muggy state.

After temporarily settling the survivors.

Yu Yao yawned, greeted Chi Heng and the others, and quickly crawled back into her tent to rest.

Apart from Qi Xian and Chen Sanxu, who were on night watch, everyone else went back to their respective places, some to rest and others to absorb the crystal cores.

Only Chen Wanjun remained seated on the living room sofa, her gaze vacant, lost in deep self-doubt.

Chen Sanxu advised, "Dr. Chen, what's the big deal? Education and intelligence are not necessarily linked to experience. It's normal that you're easily deceived because you have little contact with society; it just shows that you're kind."

All I can say is that Chen Sanxu's mouth is like it's been poisoned.

Even though it was meant to be comforting, the way he said it made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Qi Xian quickly lowered his head, not letting Chen Wanjun, whose face was even worse, see the corners of his mouth that were secretly raised.

I'm afraid she'll break down.

......

The group set off again early the next morning.

There are still plenty of supplies in Luojia'ao, and there are also vehicles available for travel.

Whether the survivors go to the safe zone or choose to stay is their own business.

However, Luo Qingxue and Xu Jingci made a special trip back to the granary before leaving.

The interior of the granary remained dark and closed during the day.

Luo Qingxue, who had been locked inside and banged on all night, was exhausted and had cried all her tears.

It stared blankly at the wall, its face ashen, awaiting death, and also awaiting a miracle.

Upon seeing Xu Jingci appear, a glimmer of life returned to her eyes, and she quickly crawled toward him using both hands and feet.

She clutched his trouser leg, her voice trembling as she pleaded.

"Where's Xiaoyu? Is Xiaoyu alright? Please help me, let me go see him, please? I'm begging you, I'm begging you~"

Xu Jingci looked down at the disheveled woman with a calm expression and said in a low voice, "Where is there any Xiaoyu? We searched the whole village and didn't see a single child."

Luo Qingxue paused, her expression momentarily blank.

"Impossible, didn't you say..."

"What did you say? Your brother is in the secret room downstairs?"

Xu Jingci's face held a hint of sarcasm, and her voice was as soft as a breeze about to dissipate.

"You're really easy to fool."

"What do you mean?"

Xu Jingci recalled the truth that Luo Chaotian and the others had revealed before they died, in order to beg for mercy.

His complex gaze swept across Luo Qingxue's face a few times before he said, "Your younger brother, Luo Qingyu, is just a child who can't protect himself. Your parents became zombies, leaving him all alone. No one can, and no one will, protect him..."

Hearing her say that, Luo Qingxue thought of a possibility, but was unwilling to believe it.

"Impossible...impossible..."

Luo Qingxue shook her head blankly, took out several sheets of well-preserved letter paper from her pocket, and emphasized it with disbelief.

"These are letters Xiaoyu wrote to me, all in Xiaoyu's handwriting! One every two days! All written by Xiaoyu!!!"

“There are also videos. Luo Chaotian shows me a new video of Xiaoyu every few days. It’s on his phone!”

Xu Jingci stood calmly opposite her, ignoring her madness, and continued speaking.

"After the apocalypse came, you rushed back to find your family. Luo Chaotian learned about your special abilities and dug out the letters your brother had secretly written to you and the videos he had recorded, which he used to control and manipulate you."

"Impossible...impossible..."

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. I'm just here to tell you that 13 people, including Luo Chaotian, are dead, and those who were imprisoned have been released."

"As for you, we will not kill you, nor will we help you."

"You...you'd better watch yourself."

After saying this, Xu Jingci turned and left silently, completely ignoring the piercing cries that erupted behind her.

......

After Xu Jingci left, Luo Qingxue cried for a long time before wiping away her tears and standing up expressionlessly.

I walked out of the grain depot and was just about to leave.

But two people blocked their way.

Luo Qingxue looked at the person who had arrived, her eyes widening uncontrollably, her voice trembling.

"You...you didn't leave?"

Luo Mei tilted her head and smiled slightly.

"Where are you going? You haven't solved your problem yet, how can you leave?"

Luo Qingxue subconsciously took a step back.

"But that person said..."

Luo Mei sighed.

"Hey~ He's a good person, but aren't we? We just wanted you to experience what it's like to be a serial scammer. Do you really think we'd let you off the hook?"

Luo Qingxue clenched her fists, which trembled slightly, and her fingernails left crescent-shaped marks on her palms.

Yu Yao yawned listlessly.

Seeing this, Luo Mei decided not to waste any more time.

Chao Luo Qingxue smiled brightly and slowly drew the Immortal-Slaying Blade.
