Chapter 23 - The Regretful Rael

Rael's emotions finally collapsed. He suddenly left his seat and knelt at Lin Yi's feet.

"Lin Yi. I'm sorry. I..."

He sobbed at Lin Yi's feet.

At this moment, he realized how great the gap between him and Lin Yi was.

"I was wrong. From now on, my life is yours."

Lin Yi was absolutely great.

In the past, he was a pure villain.

He felt that he was filled with guilt in front of Lin Yi!

He knelt on the ground in repentance, sobbing continuously.

The other children in the carriage were all shocked by his actions.

In the past, Rael was the most spirited and strongest.

He had never acted like this before.

Lin Yi looked at Rael, who was crying on his shoes.

He sighed in his heart.

"Even if you're a girl, it would be better.

At least you can give your personal love to me.

But you're a man

What's the use of your life?"

"Get up first. Don't be like this," Lin Yi could only say.

The other youths also said to Lin Yi gratefully.

"Lin Yi, thank you for giving us weapons."

 They also took out their weapons one after another, wanting to return them to Lin Yi.

In their eyes, this was something that exceeded their value by a hundred times.

In normal times, they wouldn't even dare to think about them.

It was as if he had suddenly lent a poor young man a Lamborghini.

Although it felt good to use it, it didn't belong to him after all.

If they did not return it, they would feel extremely uneasy.

Lin Yi sighed,

"You can keep them for yourselves."

He and the group of youths were all from the same village, and he could also be rewarded for giving them weapons.. 

No matter what, he would not lose out.

After hearing this, all the youths became even more excited.

In their eyes, Lin Yi's image was even more majestic than a mountain!

"Lin Yi, my bro, you're too great."

"Lin Yi. Boohoo. You'll always be my idol."

"From today onwards, I'm also willing to be Lin Yi's slave!"

 ...

Lin Yi realized.

The atmosphere in the car gradually became strange.

Everyone was surrounding him.

This made him feel uncomfortable.

He could only turn around and look outside the carriage.

Under the heavy rain, the battlefield they were on gradually disappeared.

Although Dorman's self-destruction was very powerful, it was just a drop in the bucket against the thousands of zombies.

It would be fortunate if they could kill one-tenth of them.

In other words, there was still a terrifying number of zombies horde in the forest!

Rael was right.

After returning this time, he had to evacuate the villagers as soon as possible.

He even ordered the residents of the town to evacuate!

Then, he would go to the town and report the situation to the military police corps stationed there.

As long as the corps knew the situation, they would be able to deal with the zombies.

That way, everything would be fine, right?

The youths in the car were also filled with confidence.

Their thoughts were the same as Lin Yi's.

However, Lin Yi suddenly thought of the two strange people he met when he walked out of the cave.

He felt inexplicably uneasy in his mind.

"Who are those two people?"

"I have a bad feeling."

Rael gradually stopped crying and returned to his usual fearless appearance.

He wiped his tears and expressed his respect to Lin Yi again.

Then, he began to paint a vivid picture for the group of youths.

"When we return, we can go to the military academy and fight the enemy like Instructor Dorman!"

"We must kill all the zombies and evil beasts in the world!"

"As for St. Caesar Academy, the spot will definitely go to Lin Yi."

"With such a big brother, our lives can be considered worth it."

Rael laughed loudly. The other youths cheered and echoed.

Everyone's mood improved again.

They talked about their future.

Only Lin Yi remained silent.

"I have no interest in war at all."

He thought silently in his heart.

However, when he thought of Dorman who had sacrificed himself, his heart was actually moved.

This did not change his cowardly nature.

He couldn't risk his life for the Empire of this world.

However, Lin Yi's understanding of war now seemed to have changed somewhat...

Half an hour later.

"Lin Yi, everyone, we've arrived at our destination. We're back."

A youth in charge of driving the carriage said.

Lin Yi and the others left the carriage.

The carriage stopped on a small hill. As the road back to the village was downhill and very bumpy, they could not take the carriage and could only walk back.

It was still raining heavily outside.

All the youths heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the village they lived in every day.

They almost cried again.

"I'm finally back! I just want to lie in bed and have dinner with my family."

"Today I really walked from the gates of hell. F*cking zombies!"

"But we won't have time to rest after we go back. We have to get everyone to leave quickly. Zombies will likely come here."

As everyone discussed, Lin Yi discovered that something was wrong.

In the next moment, his eyes trembled and he hastily said, "Hurry up! Go back quickly!"

After saying that, he ran toward the village at the foot of the hill.

When the group of youths saw Lin Yi's actions, they could not help but be stunned.

What was going on?

Without any explanation, he hurriedly chased after hiim.

Looking at the anxious Lin Yi, Rael seemed to have sensed something as well.

"Could it be that something had happened in the village?"

"I also feel that something is wrong..."

"Right, smoke!"

Now, it was time for every household to prepare dinner.

If it were the usual, white smoke from cooking would be coming out of the chimneys of absolutely every household.

But today, there wasn't even a wisp of smoke.

This was too abnormal!

This was an impossible situation in any case!

Instantly, Rael panicked as well.

He told his findings to the other youths.

Instantly, everyone became nervous and ran wildly in the rain.

A moment later.

Lin Yi stopped in his tracks.

In front of him was the village where he lived every day.

However, the village in front of him was already very different from how it looked when he left this morning.

Lin Yi's hands trembled slightly.

"Really... Is that really the case?"

"Are we, really, too late...?"

Rael and the other youths finally arrived. Everyone was out of breath from running.

However, after seeing the scene in front of them.

Everyone forgot to breathe. Instead, just like Lin Yi, their entire bodies trembled!

A large pile of villagers' bodies were lying across the ground.

There was blood, broken limbs, and minced meat everywhere.

Under the washing of the rain, the blood almost formed a red river.

All the crops had been trampled.

The peaceful houses of the past were now in ruins.

Not a single living person could be seen.

There were only ferocious and huge zombies wandering around the village.
