Respect The Strong (8)
All the fighting people stopped and fell silent for a moment, and then the three women screamed and ran frantically into the RV and locked the door. The people in the RV also carried guns, but the hands holding the guns shook as if having seizures. They couldn’t even tell that the safety pin was in place.
Xiao Cheng looked at Chu Xiang in amazement, and then at Wu Gang, who had lost his breath.
Chu Xiang tilted her head and asked, “What’s wrong? Cutting the grass without eradicating the roots is to give the enemy another chance encounter in the future, you know? How can you live in the end times with such kindness and tenderness?”
The remaining six people on the other side had already reacted, and they began to crawl backwards enduring their pain. Horror filled their faces.
Xiao Jin frowned, turned to another mastermind who had deliberately harmed him, burst into a rage, pulled out the dagger tied to his leg, and slit the man’s throat!
“Brother!” Xiao Cheng shouted in disbelief, having never imagined that Xiao Jin would kill.
Xiao Jin stood up, let out a long breath, and said indifferently, “Chu Xiang is right. In this world, one more enemy means one more chance of death, so we must cut down the grass to its roots. You guys, seeing that you’ve only been lackeys, I won’t kill you. Use your brains when you do things in the future.”
The remaining five people weren’t relieved at all. All of them felt numb in their scalps. They scrambled to their feet, ran to the RV, and tapped on the door. As a result, the people inside dared not open the door. In their fury, they hurled abuse.
“Who’s going to protect you when you encounter zombies? Fuckin’ open the door, f*ck!”
Xiao Jin looked at them with his hands on his hips, and commented with a smile, “What a bunch of wimpy chickens. One Madonna said one thing, but did the opposite. It’s your turn to be all selfish and self-serving goons.” He swept the camp, turned and walked to Chu Xiang. He pointed to a tent and said, “This is my and Xiao Cheng’s tent. Would you like to go in first and take a rest? Xiao Cheng and I will search the camp for supplies.”
Chu Xiang took a step back and stayed away from him. She raised her hand and waved twice in front of her nose with a frown. “You stink badly. Find a place to take a shower.”
Xiao Jin looked down, sniffed himself, and said with amusement, “Do you think you’re clean? You’ve killed loads of zombies at the police station, and you’re also covered with filth. What else is clean in this world?”
Seeing Chu Xiang’s disgust, he compromised, “Okay, okay. There’s a small stream not too far there, where they usually cook and wash clothes. It’s running water. I’ll take you for a shower together and freshen up, deal?”
Chu Xiang nodded, the bloody and rotten stench was so disgusting. After Xiao Jin brought it up, she didn’t even want the outfit on her anymore. This was what she hated the most in this world. She couldn’t use cleansing, could she? Everyone was a normal person, but she would be a monster with magic skills. She couldn’t fight so many explosive weapons even after she has cultivated one stage, so she’d better take a bath honestly.
Xiao Cheng’s head was buzzing. He pulled Xiao Jin and asked in a low voice, “Are you crazy? How could you kill someone? Yes, the world is in chaos now, but what if things get better? By then, you will be a murderer. What were you thinking?”
Xiao Jin reasoned seriously, “This world can’t get any better. Xiao Cheng, it’s been a month, and the situation is getting worse and worse. You didn’t enter the city, so you didn’t see it. The government, the army, and the police station have all fallen, and we haven’t met anyone along the way. Chu Xiang was the only living person I saw. What’s left? All zombies! Now zombies are not the most terrible. The most terrifying are humans who’ll stab you twice at any time, because man has their own thoughts. We want to live. If they want me to die, I can only let them die first. Do you think I’m wrong?”
Of course, this was true in a life-or-death situation. Nevertheless, it must in a society where the law was nonexistent. Who could ensure that the country couldn’t eliminate zombies? It has only been a month. Who knew when the country would return to normal? Once they started killing, they would never turn back on this road. In the future, did they want the world to recover or not?
Xiao Cheng wiped his face fiercely. “Kill them all, so be it.”
Many people probably wouldn’t be able to walk out of the psychological shadow for the rest of their lives after killing someone. When Chu Xiang first moved to the modern age from a cultivation realm, she almost couldn’t resist doing so several times, but she finally restrained herself. A society ruled by law was indeed different. People who grew up in a society governed by law indeed couldn’t kill without blinking an eye in just one month unless they were originally thugs.
So Chu Xiang understood their entanglement very well. This kind of thing might be simple to her, but it could be a hurdle they needed to overcome. Fortunately, neither of them were hypocrites. It seemed that the two teammates she met were not bad.
The people in the RV observed the three of them talking. Seeing that they didn’t look like they were going to attack them, they finally opened the door to let those people in the car. All of them lay on the windows and stared at Chu Xiang and the brothers, panicked and scared, not knowing what to do. Hence, they could only keep praying that the three thugs leave quickly.
