He said this and spat at the woman again, as if she were no longer his wife, now only hoping she would shut up and stop causing trouble. Because Meng Qiang had a wound on his arm, the smell of blood was the strongest, attracting most of the zombies towards his direction.
He had no time to hesitate or continue arguing with this woman. Turning to his son, he roared, "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense, hurry up and stab him with the knife! If you don't kill this uncle soon, those monsters will come and eat you and me, and then you won't have anything to eat."
Scared by his father's shout and looking like he might cry, the child seemed finally frightened by Meng Qiang's words. Without the previous hesitation in his eyes, he directly took the knife and stabbed at Park Su.
Park Su knew that if he didn't act now, he might really fall to this child. So he quickly lifted his leg, kicking the child away. However, he didn't expect that the direction the child fell would be just right to knock down the zombie lunging at his grandfather.
The child was directly knocked unconscious. The child's grandfather, however, managed to escape because of his grandson, but driven by the instinct for survival, he couldn't care about his grandson anymore and ran towards his son. Unfortunately, he didn't make it far before being entangled by two other zombies.
Seeing her child in such a state, the woman's eyes turned red with fury. She knew if she didn't save her child, he would soon be torn apart by zombies. "He's just a child, why did you have to be so harsh?" she cried, disregarding the zombies rushing towards her, and hurried to her child.
She managed to snatch her child from the zombies thanks to a mother's instinct, holding him in her arms before they could hurt him. However, she also received a deep gash on her back from the zombies' claws.
Blood gushed out with her scream, the pungent smell of blood attracting even more zombies towards them. It wouldn't be long before the child she was protecting would also be in danger. As for her accusations, Park Su paid no heed; he was no longer interested in repaying evil with good. Those who wanted to kill him had to be killed first. Besides, Park Su never felt responsible for this family.
Park Su turned his attention back to himself, sensing some emotional shift in Meng Qiang, whose arm around his neck tightened, clearly in a hurry to kill him.
So he directed Green Vine to hold off the incoming zombies for a while, no longer hiding his strength. He forcefully broke Meng Qiang's arm that was around his neck, freeing himself quickly, and with his other hand, he activated his wood-based superpower to form a green energy spike on his wrist, piercing through Meng Qiang's palm.
As Meng Qiang screamed in pain, Park Su also snapped his wrist. Watching Meng Qiang's face contort in agony, he gave a cold laugh, "I didn't hurt you because I thought it would dirty my hands to harm people like you, but now I see it's you bouncing around in front of me that truly dirties my sight.
What? Do you think I'm easy to talk to? Or do you think I'm that kind-hearted? Or have you always taken me for a fool, thinking I would tolerate you jumping around in front of me? You disgust me."
With each sentence Park Su spoke, the force on Meng Qiang's other arm increased, and by the time he finished, Meng Qiang's arm was twisted into a grotesque shape, his screams of pain echoing around.
Except for the area protected by Green Vine, zombies swarmed everywhere else. At first, you could hear the painful cries of the woman and Meng Qiang's father, but now, all that was left were the sounds of zombies chewing and their roars.
Meng Qiang was in immense pain, knowing he probably wouldn't survive, filled with hatred, wishing he could kill Park Su right then. If he didn't realize by now that Park Su was just playing with him earlier, then he must be truly foolish.
Park Su completely ignored Meng Qiang's howls of pain. A quick glance around showed at least thirty zombies, making him even more irritated; this guy really knew how to cause trouble.
He could have handled things quietly, gathering more supplies without attracting so many zombies, but now he was just expending extra effort.
Moreover, inside the supermarket, his wood-based superpower couldn't reach its full potential; dealing with these zombies required the help of Green Vine or physical force, which was far from ideal.
Seeing they couldn't bypass Green Vine to reach the delicious prey, many zombies redirected their attention to Meng Qiang's wife's corpse, tearing at it with others.
Although Park Su didn't like this woman, she had shown some sense earlier, especially by instinctively saving her child without hesitation, even if the child couldn't be saved in the end and she lost her life for it.
This act made Park Su think she wasn't rotten to the core, at least better than Meng Qiang. Sadly, even in death, she couldn't save her child.
As for Meng Qiang, Park Su didn't want him to die so easily. Those who schemed against him touched his reverse scale. He hadn't forgotten how he died in his last life, how he was manipulated by someone he loved, ignoring all the signs until he was schemed to death. Looking back, he realized he had flaws but had been deceiving himself all along.
Here is the translation of the text you provided:
Having been foolish once was enough; he didn't want it to happen again, let alone with Meng Qiang's repulsive face, which disgusted him to the extreme. There was absolutely no reason to show mercy. If this man dared to plot against him today, he must bear the consequences of his failure.
With a cold expression, Park Su instructed Green Vine to open a gap where he could vaguely see the lifeless bodies of Meng Qiang's family, then he coldly addressed Meng Qiang, "Do you see? They died because of your own foolish actions.
Today's lesson is for you: don't be too greedy or selfish. It's one thing to harm yourself, but harming your family is truly unprofitable. Though someone like you wouldn't care about your family's life, would you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have abandoned your mother, used your wife as bait, or made your child kill."
Meng Qiang couldn't see the situation on the other side because it was surrounded by zombies, and he was in too much pain to focus, but not seeing didn't mean he didn't know there were probably no living beings left in that circle of zombies.
However, this didn't stop him from hearing Park Su's words. Already in agony, he now had bloodshot eyes and burst out cursing, "How are they dead because of me? Damn it, they died because of you! What would it cost you to save a person?
Your abilities depend on that Green Vine, clinging to that promise. What's there to be proud of? If you were willing to save us, would we have ended up like this?
In the end, it's you who killed them, not me, but you! Don't blame your mistakes on me to absolve your guilt! Either kill me today, or if I survive, I'll kill you in this lifetime, making you suffer more than my family!"
Park Su, hearing his words, was almost amused by his anger. When did Meng Qiang's family become his responsibility? He gave a cold laugh, "Don't worry, you definitely won't live through today. For revenge, wait for your next life."
As he spoke, he signaled Green Vine to open a path, then directly pushed Meng Qiang into the group of zombies.
But at the moment Meng Qiang was about to be torn apart by the zombies, Park Su had Green Vine use a leaf blade to end his life. Having experienced the agony of being torn apart by zombies himself, despite his disgust for Meng Qiang, he didn't want anyone else to go through that pain. After dealing with Meng Qiang, Park Su looked at the surrounding zombies and felt a headache coming on.
There were definitely over thirty zombies here, completely blocking the path to the second floor. To go upstairs, he had to fight his way through.
Moreover, he didn't have any talismans to clear the blood scent, so killing these zombies would only increase the blood smell on the first floor, attracting even more zombies.
And if he didn't kill these zombies, he wouldn't be able to escape. Meng Qiang had been too close, getting blood all over him, making him a prime target for the zombies.
Thus, his previous plan to quietly collect supplies and help Xu Nuo upstairs was now dead in the water. Going upstairs? Better not think about it!
Thinking this, he glanced at the zombies around him and sighed; Meng Qiang's family were truly a bunch of troublemakers.
Though he thought this, he had no other choice. He took out two camphor tree seeds from his space, which he had collected during a previous outing, now coming in handy.
He quickly used his superpower to germinate the seeds, and soon, two trees about two people tall emerged from the ground. Just sprouting these two trees consumed a third of his wood-based superpower.
However, fortunately, while Green Vine was killing zombies, she was also secretly absorbing a crystal core, and in the process, she would also replenish some of his superpower.
