In an effort to prevent the protagonist, Chu Feng, from becoming a threat, Lu Yu took every precaution possible to avoid any unforeseen incidents. In this battle, he utilized every resource at his disposal. Lu Yu was acutely aware that Chu Feng was the protagonist.
They had already had a confrontation, and if Chu Feng were to escape again, he would undoubtedly rise again. Once he matures, he will seek an opportunity for revenge.
It is a given how rapidly a protagonist grows and develops!
Previously, in the secret realm, Chu Feng used secret techniques to escape. Lu Yu was somewhat helpless.
The disparity in speed between the two and the presence of the treasure left Lu Yu with no choice but to let him go. But now, Lu Yu would certainly not give him any chance of a comeback.
Some people argue that Chu Feng is more of a villain than Lu Yu, killing without uttering a word. Indeed, there's no denying that.
Before crossing over, Lu Yu was just an ordinary person. He had neither experienced the end times, nor the battlefield, nor had he killed anyone.
Chu Feng, on the other hand, is the protagonist of the apocalypse, and he has also experienced rebirth.
Among the apocalyptic texts from ancient times to the present, which protagonist of apocalyptic rebirth is not decisive in killing?
Whether it's facing a minor villain or a major villain, there are only four words in the dictionary of the protagonist of the apocalypse Kill if you disagree.
So it makes sense that he is more like a villain than Lu Yu.
But since he has become the villain in the end-of-the-world text, Lu Yu certainly won't sit still. Wei Jianjun is the only person in Lu Yu's current team who can fight against Chu Feng.
In addition, his loyalty is good enough, and he has a certain relationship with Chu Feng!
So Lu Yu found him and gave him two crystal cores and a seven-day ration before leaving.
He asked him to keep an eye on Chu Feng and at the same time protect Li Wanning's safety!
And Lu Yu himself led the team to find food and tried to get back within seven days.
Although Wei Jianjun and Lu Yu didn't know each other for a long time, they both experienced the monster wave together. In addition, he has already settled his wife and daughter. With his strength, even if Lu Yu never returns, he can find other groups of survivors to go back alive to meet his wife and daughter.
After much deliberation and repeated hesitation, he finally resolved to undertake the task at hand.
However, he was taken aback when the words of Lu Yu, which he had initially dismissed, turned out to be true.
The young man who stood before him was not only excessively self-absorbed but also audaciously threatened Li Wanning. He wondered if the young man was so merciless that he could kill as casually as one would drink water.
Could he possibly be more formidable than himself?
Driven by these thoughts, he decided to take action without any further hesitation.
But the moment Wei Jianjun removed his mask and cap, he was completely stunned. This was far from what he had expected.
In the heat of the moment, Chu Feng dodged Wei Jianjun's attack and shouted,
"Brother Jun, what is going on?"
Despite having been reborn, Lu Yu had never crossed paths with Wei Jianjun in his previous life. They were not even stationed at the same base, let alone acquainted with each other.
He was puzzled as to how Lu Yu managed to find Wei Jianjun.
And why was Wei Jianjun referring to him as 'Lu Shao'?
These questions were utterly baffling and beyond his understanding!
Dai Lian and Wang Chao, who were nearby, witnessed the two engaged in combat. They wanted to assist but were unable to.
Both Chu Feng and Wei Jianjun possessed exceptional physical strength and combat skills.
Caught in a situation where they couldn't step in, Dai Lian and Wang Chao found themselves engrossed in a conversation, strategizing and brainstorming potential solutions to their predicament.
Their inability to intervene directly had them resorting to discussions, trying to devise effective countermeasures to address the situation at hand.
"Don't address me as Brother Jun, I don't know you, and I certainly don't consider you a brother!"
"This is a misunderstanding…"Chu Feng said.
"I saw you murder numerous people with my own eyes.
How could that possibly be a misunderstanding?"
Wei Jianjun was livid, his anger reaching its peak as he delivered one powerful punch after another.
From the first day Li Wanning moved upstairs, he was assigned by Lu Yu to rush to the conflict scene to ensure Li Wanning's safety.
On the first day, Chu Feng had killed a person merely in self-defense, which didn't warrant his intervention. But now… the young man before him was not only denying others food but also intending to kill?
While it was indeed wrong for someone to steal your food, wouldn't it be more appropriate to incapacitate them and leave them to their fate?
Was it necessary to annihilate them all?
It must be noted that Wei Jianjun's mindset remained unchanged at this point. He was utterly baffled by Chu Feng's scorched-earth approach.
However, he didn't dwell on it too much; his primary objective was to subdue the young man. As time passed and after several rounds of combat, Wei Jianjun realized something was amiss.
As a retired special forces operative, his combat skills were far superior to those of an average person. His fighting prowess, combined with his awakened metallization ability, made him a formidable opponent for ordinary Awakeners.
Yet, the young man before him appeared to possess no supernatural abilities.
How was it possible that he was holding his own against him?
Were today's college students this audacious?
"Wei Jianjun, stop immediately, or I swear I'll confront you…"
"Confront me?
What right do you have to confront me?"
"Damn it…"
In his past life, Chu Feng and Wei Jianjun were formidable allies. In this life, Chu Feng yearned for Wei Jianjun to be his right-hand man.
However, due to Lu Yu's involvement, Wei Jianjun turned into Chu Feng's adversary. At this juncture, Chu Feng wished to clarify their relationship to Wei Jianjun. But when he tried to articulate his thoughts, he found himself at a loss for words.
Should he reveal that he has been reborn?
Even if he did, would Wei Jianjun believe him?
And even if he did believe, given Wei Jianjun's current disposition, would he still consider Chu Feng a comrade?
Dai Lian and Wang Chao, unable to intervene, were still contemplating their next move.
Meanwhile,
Li Wanning was petrified. She glanced at Chu Feng, who was engaged in combat with Wei Jianjun, and then at the dozen or so bodies strewn in the distance. Everyone was in shock. They realized that in this world, it wasn't just monsters that could kill humans humans could kill each other too.
At this point, many survivors were suffering from severely weakened immunity due to the lack of food. Many fell ill and never woke up. The scarcity of food made people irritable, leading to frequent fights and injuries.
Even Li Wanning herself nearly passed out from hunger. Now, for the sake of food, this young man named Chu Feng had actually murdered more than a dozen classmates?
And gravely injured Shen Bin?
How could this be possible?
Li Wanning was utterly bewildered. She instinctively moved towards Shen Bin and squatted down beside him.
"Shen Bin…how are you holding up?"
"This kid, he's so powerful…" Shen Bin, clutching his chest and gasping for air, managed to say, "I feel…my lungs are on fire…"
Chu Feng had kicked him, breaking the ribs protecting his lungs, making it difficult for him to breathe. Seeing Shen Bin in this state, Li Wanning felt even more hopeless.
In reality, after Lu Yu's departure, she had come to a realization. If you don't have enough food for yourself, how can you save others?
However, it was too late for her to understand this truth. The food shortage had driven her, like the other survivors, to the brink of desperation.
Their health was deteriorating day by day. If it hadn't been for Wei Jianjun, who had secretly given her a piece of bread and half a bottle of water the previous night, she might not have been able to stand up now.
Li Wanning had managed to get some food, but Shen Bin wasn't as fortunate. The food given to Li Wanning by Wei Jianjun was actually arranged by Lu Yu. Wei Jianjun, a man of great adaptability and harsh training, understood the critical importance of food in their current situation.
Despite his self-sacrificing nature, he had to prioritize his wife and daughter's needs over others.
Hence, when Lu Yu made his declaration, everyone except Li Wanning was excluded from asking for food. Even though it was a difficult decision, Wei Jianjun didn't hesitate to act. This led to the current predicament.
"What should I do?
What should I do?
Now… Yan Yun is not here…"
Li Wanning, seeing Shen Bin's frail state and the blood at the corner of his mouth, felt a deep sorrow. She wanted to summon some classmates to help move Shen Bin to safety.
However, when she looked up, she was met with a horrifying sight. All her classmates were fixated on the backpacks carried by Chu Feng and his group.
Their eyes were filled with hunger for the food inside the backpacks, completely indifferent to Shen Bin's life-threatening condition. Witnessing this, Li Wanning was filled with utter despair.
Just as she was losing all hope, a sudden bark pierced the silence. A massive mutant dog charged towards them from a distance. Instead of attacking immediately, it positioned itself behind Chu Feng and halted.
It lowered its body slightly, its mouth drooling, ready to attack Chu Feng at any moment.
Seeing this large wolf dog blocking his escape route, Chu Feng couldn't help but curse,
"Lu Yu!
Fuck! All this was set up."
