"You executioner! You despicable traitor, aiding the wicked! You deceived us! How dare you show your face here!" After swiftly dealing with a few Corpses attracted by the sound of shattering glass, Yang Xiaoyou created a distraction elsewhere to lead the others away and circled around the Kanda Police Station.
However, just as he arrived, a stern voice questioned him. A bloodied police officer glared at him with a fierce expression.
Meanwhile, the injured Charming Shadow struggled to draw her dagger, adopting a defensive stance to protect the others in the corner. A few red-eyed Survivors stared at her and Chen Wuyou with intense expressions.
Facing the remaining eleven Survivors, even the Chubby Officer seemed unable to maintain control. Although he scolded them a few times, it was clearly ineffective.
"Are you all blind? If it weren't for him, we would all be dead in front of those monsters!" At that moment, Lin Min broke the silence and spoke up for Yang Xiaoyou for the first time.
This surprised Yang Xiaoyou, wondering if this fellow had changed his ways.
"Although his methods are despicable, we owe our survival to his help. Without him, he wouldn't have been able to ambush those two monsters successfully." Clearly, this fellow was still the same; even while defending Yang Xiaoyou, he insisted on imposing his own sense of 'justice'.
"Hey, he's just using us to save himself! If he didn't do this, he'd be dead too!" The bloodied police officer interjected, his face twisted in rage.
"I know you're strong. But can you outrun a bullet? Hmm?" After saying this, he raised his handgun and aimed it at Yang Xiaoyou, madness gleaming in his eyes.
The recent brush with death, surrounded by shattered corpses and gushing blood, had nearly driven him to collapse. The idea that they could simply hold one back was nonsense! They could have dealt with it but chose to let themselves suffer like this; he was determined to take revenge!
"Tsk, if you had shown this kind of spirit against that Licker, at least half of us would still be alive. Trash will always be trash; if you can muster this kind of attitude against your own kind, why not against the monsters?" As he watched the gun pointed at him, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but smirk.
"You think I won't pull the trigger?! Worst case scenario, we both die. But before I go, I can enjoy a moment with such a beauty; I won't lose out on that. I'll break your legs and make you watch..." The already deranged police officer felt a tightening in his throat before he could finish.
Unbeknownst to him, someone who had been at a distance was now standing right in front of him.
Lifted by his neck and having his gun snatched away in an instant,
"Wait, sir, he just—" the Chubby Officer hurriedly began to say.
But before he could finish,
*Crack!*
With that sound, Yang Xiaoyou twisted the man's neck and casually dropped the body onto the ground before turning back and asking, "What were you just saying?"
Seeing the other party's lack of mercy, the officer's expression darkened. However, there was little he could do about it. After all, even with a gun in hand, he couldn't do anything to him. The balance of power in this situation had nothing to do with numbers.
The others who had originally surrounded Charming Shadow and seemed ready to attack were also taken aback when they witnessed that terrifying fellow directly eliminate someone even after a gun was drawn.
"We just wanted to..." A few of those impulsive fellows were suddenly sobered up and quickly spoke up.
Yet, Yang Xiaoyou had no intention of addressing their concerns.
Originally, saving a few people wouldn't have been an issue, but now...
Since the Licker hadn't finished the job, he would take care of it himself. "You! You!" The last remaining officer looked at the corpses scattered around with a face full of anger and helplessness.
On the other hand, Lin Min seemed somewhat displeased as well, but he showed no sympathy for those who were killed. His frustration stemmed from the fact that they were bypassing legal procedures and taking matters into their own hands; that too was a crime.
Meanwhile, Huang Wei and the others were left in shock at Yang Xiaoyou's decisive actions without any hesitation. They had already encountered enough surprises along the way to feel somewhat numb, but living in a Rule of Law Society still made the act of murder hit hard.
Even Chen Wuyou's expression was somewhat strange at that moment.
"No, it can't be! He was just a useless shut-in! Is this kind of creature really so twisted?" She stared blankly at Yang Xiaoyou, her face showing disbelief.
The only ones able to remain calm were Charming Shadow and Dream Butterfly.
Wiping a bit of blood off his face and looking at the chubby officer in front of him, Yang Xiaoyou wore an innocent smile and said, "It's nothing much. I just killed a few infected Zombies. It's strange; they seemed like they could still talk."
The chubby officer felt an inexplicable chill run through him as he looked at the seemingly innocent smile on the young man's face.
In this chaotic place where legal constraints had completely vanished, anything could happen based on strength alone. Clearly, the other party had the power to make his words ring true.
"Since we're not welcome here, we'll take our leave now. Hey, we shouldn't stay any longer. Also, I won't be expanding my team; let's part ways amicably. Bye!" After a brief moment of adjustment and worried about whether that fellow had companions nearby, Yang Xiaoyou had no choice but to lead everyone on their way again. As they walked out, he waved goodbye to the two inside. "Officer Lin, what are your plans next?" To his surprise, what had once been a temporary shelter was now left with only the two of them. The chubby officer wore a bitter expression.
"I'm planning to leave right now. That fellow definitely doesn't have good intentions. The only reason he didn't kill us is probably because of the people around him. Unfortunately, I've never been able to gather evidence against him," Lin Min sighed.
"Uh, then you go ahead. I know my own body; staying here gives me a slim chance of survival. If I leave, I definitely won't get far." The chubby officer pointed at his bulging belly and forced a smile.
"Then, I shall take my leave. I hope to see you again in the future." With that, Lin Min decisively pulled a handgun from the body of a fallen officer and grabbed a baton before heading toward the door.
"Safe travels," the Chubby Officer sighed, unable to hold back his words.
Not long after Lin Min left, a gunshot suddenly rang out from beneath the overturned sofa in the office.
The officer, who had been lost in thought about his next steps, was jolted awake by the sound of the gunfire. A bitter feeling flashed through his heart; it seemed they were indeed not going to let him off easily.
As the gunfire echoed without any obstruction, the corpses on the nearby street were drawn toward the Police Station by the noise, hoping to resolve both matters at once. "Sigh, please don't hold it against me," Yang Xiaoyou said as she walked a considerable distance away, still hearing the faint gunshots behind her.
In terms of pure character, neither of those two were truly bad. However, it was unfortunate that both sides held different positions. She hoped the corpses would help her finish what needed to be done.
Otherwise, even without evidence, being watched constantly would be a hassle.
At the entrance of Kanda Police Station, corpses had already gathered in droves. Yet in one corner of the surrounding wall stood a figure cloaked in black, standing out starkly from the surrounding corpses.
"Oh? Someone has actually died. Tsk, such a clean method. To achieve this under the protection of two Lickers is quite interesting."
After inspecting the bodies on the ground and noticing an empty bottle but failing to find the box, this figure chuckled to themselves.
