Lu Yu, the villainous boss, naturally has his own subordinates. After all, being a boss means not having to do everything yourself, especially when dealing with the protagonist, it's crucial to have some power at one's disposal. Therefore, he decided to keep Shi Lei as his subordinate. With his villainous insight, he wasn't worried about any potential betrayal.
Lu Yu's eerie voice made Chen Fei's two subordinates hesitate to make any rash moves. It also filled Shi Lei, who was about to back down, with newfound confidence. He cautiously picked up the folding knife that Chen Fei had previously dropped and slowly approached Chen Fei.
"Try touching me if you dare," Chen Fei angrily retorted, hoping to use his remaining strength to save himself. However, Lu Yu's wind blade had deeply wounded him, and his bright red blood hadn't stopped flowing. When a person loses too much blood, they experience nausea, vomiting, and fainting due to the body's inability to function normally.
So, when Chen Fei used his last bit of strength to stand up and attempted to use his powers for a final fight, a wave of dizziness quickly spread throughout his body. Then, everything started spinning. Thud! Chen Fei fell straight to the ground. Although he was still conscious, his body was immobilized.
Seeing this, Shi Lei couldn't help but grin. He revealed his true nature as a sycophant and began to kick a man when he's down. "Hey, aren't you so vicious and rude?" he taunted. "Weren't you very cool just now? Come on, keep shouting… Damn…"
"Don't…don't…don't kill me!"
Chen Fei pleaded, feeling faint. "Please, please don't kill me, I…I don't want to die!!"
"Begging for mercy now, don't you think it's too late?"
Lu Yu, like a demon, continued to provoke: "Shi Lei, imagine what would happen to you if I was just an ordinary college student?"
Hearing this, Shi Lei, who was initially a bit uneasy, suddenly became more resolute. Yes, this guy was so arrogant just now. If it weren't for Lu Yu awakening his special ability and helping him divert the hatred, wouldn't he have been severely beaten and lost face in front of his girlfriend today?
It's even possible that because of this brutal beating, he wouldn't be able to deal with the monsters outside and thus die at their hands.
Thinking of this, he gripped the knife in his hand tightly. And Chen Fei's eyes shifted from fear to panic. Facing the fear of death, he didn't have time to think too much, so he quickly called for help from other survivors.
"You guys help me, help me…" he cried.
Hearing this, the crowd became agitated, but in the end, no one was willing to stand up for him. They didn't dare to offend Chen Fei for Lu Yu just now. Now, they didn't dare to offend Lu Yu for Chen Fei.
As for the two little brothers? They were already hiding and trembling in fear.
"Go to hell!"
Shi Lei exclaimed. Puff! Shi Lei's folding knife plunged into Chen Fei's heart. And it seemed that in order to overcome his inner fear, he stabbed Chen Fei frantically as if possessed by a demon. One stab after another, the blood from Chen Fei's stabbing flowed, and the flesh flew. The people watching were horrified.
After five minutes, a mother in the crowd had already covered her six-year-old daughter's eyes. Chen Fei's body was thrown downstairs from the upstairs window by two bystanders.
Thud!
As soon as the corpse fell to the ground, a large number of Lizardmen swarmed. Soon, Chen Fei's body would be torn into pieces.
In the confines of a guest room on the 8th floor, Shi Lei was gasping for breath, his hands smeared with blood, his mind still reeling from the shock. The eyes of everyone present were wide with terror. Had this man truly committed murder?
Even though the victim was someone who had provoked Lu Yu, this wasn't an act that just anyone could carry out, was it?
"Stay calm!"
Lu Yu, having sheathed his sword, gave Shi Lei a reassuring pat on the shoulder. He then turned to the anxious crowd and offered words of comfort: "We did take a life just now, but you all are more aware of the circumstances than I am. As long as you ensure your own safety, I assure you this won't happen again."
At this point, a man dressed in a short-sleeved white shirt, who appeared to be a manager, stepped forward in an attempt to defuse the situation
"Yes, yes, the young man is correct. It was Chen Fei who was at fault just now, we all witnessed it!" His intention was to lighten the mood, but his words didn't seem to resonate with the others. There was even a hint of scorn in their eyes as they looked at him. The man was visibly embarrassed, but Lu Yu seemed indifferent. Instead, he turned his attention to the man.
"What's your name?" he inquired.
"Me?
My name is Zhang Ming!!" The man responded, somewhat taken aback, but he answered promptly. He was nearing his forties, but the authority and composure Lu Yu displayed when he ordered Shi Lei to kill had made him overlook Lu Yu's youth.
"Let me give you a suggestion!" Lu Yu offered.
"What advice?"
Zhang Ming asked. "You must have seen the situation outside. I can tell you very clearly now that the days of fear have just begun!" Lu Yu continued: "If you want to live normally, you'd better choose a wise leader!"
"A wise leader?"
"Indeed," Lu Yu confirmed in response to Zhang Ming's question.
"Young man, are you suggesting that this is just the beginning?"
Zhang Ming queried, disbelief evident in his tone.
"Is this for real or just a bluff?"
he continued. "Whether you choose to believe it or not is entirely up to you," Lu Yu retorted.
Zhang Ming, having regained his composure, posed another question, "If what you're saying is true, how are we supposed to survive?"
"That's your concern, not mine," Lu Yu responded dismissively.
"Wait, aren't you with us?"
Zhang Ming asked, taken aback. "Apologies, but I have other matters to attend to," Lu Yu replied.
Once Lu Yu had finished speaking, he turned to Shi Lei. "Shi Lei, let's move," he commanded. "Okay… okay, boss!" Shi Lei, still reeling from the shock of the recent murder, quickly complied, pulling his girlfriend along with him.
"Oh, brother…" Zhang Ming watched as Lu Yu and his companions departed, words forming on his lips only to be swallowed back down. The confidence and resolve that Lu Yu had displayed earlier had left a strong impression on him. However, the fact that Lu Yu was capable of killing made him a daunting presence.
As an ordinary person, sharing a room with such an individual was far from desirable. Thus, letting Lu Yu leave seemed like the safer option than risking an unforeseen confrontation.
As for the yellow hair and the skinny man?
These two people have been frightened by the scene where Shi Lei killed Chen Fei. Now, they don't even have the courage to look up at Lu Yu's back.
"What shall we do next?" "Let's discuss it…" The room survivors didn't care about the yellow hair and the skinny man. They gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
And Lu Yu, who left the room, didn't care about the lives of the survivors. These people are strangers to him. In times of peace, most people would not care about the life and death of strangers, let alone in the last days?
The sudden roar of the monster attracted Lu Yu who was about to return to the room.
"Zombie?"
Lu Yu's eyes narrowed. He instantly recognized the type of monster. Now, the monsters outside, except for the lizard man and the sickle mantis, are only zombies. Only zombies of the three types of monsters can make such disgusting roars.
"Boss!"
Shi Lei still hasn't recovered from the panic of the murder just now. At this time, when he heard the voice of the zombies, his legs couldn't help but feel a little weak, and even his voice was trembling. He Li was even more afraid and hid behind Shi Lei.
Lu Yu ignored the two of them, and just walked cautiously in the direction of the voice while holding the sword. Soon, at the end of the hallway, the sight of two zombies eating a corpse came into view. Lu Yu glanced at them.
[Name: Ordinary Zombie. ]
