In a moment, Wang Luo arrived at the location where Zhao Qingxuan and the others were. It appeared to be a sports field, with several green helicopters parked there.
"This is really great!" Wang Luo approached a helicopter. This was his first time being so close to one; before the apocalypse, he never had the chance to get near such machinery. However, as he sat inside, looking at the complex control panels, his head started to ache.
"I wonder if this thing even works?" Wang Luo had his doubts. In his previous life, he had never seen anyone flying a helicopter around the city.
"Two bosses, please save us!" Just then, two D-class awakened individuals, with bruised and swollen faces and limping, were escorted over by people holding guns to their heads. They looked like they had been severely beaten, otherwise, two Black Iron level individuals wouldn't be in such a state.
"Who are you people?" Zhao Qingxuan immediately asked the one holding the gun. He was a burly, tall man in his thirties with a buzz cut.
"Heh, that's what we should be asking you!" Zhou Kun said coldly. "This is my territory, and you barge in here and ask who we are?" When he saw the ground littered with zombie corpses, his pupils contracted. *These people are strong!* However, with a handgun in his hand, he felt fearless.
"We were just looking for some supplies, and as you can see, we haven't found anything!" Yang Shu said calmly. "We apologize if we caused any disturbance. We hope you'll be merciful and let our brothers go!" In terms of worldly experience, Zhao Qingxuan couldn't compare to her. Therefore, in handling such situations, Yang Shu was naturally more adept.
Zhou Kun looked at Yang Shu and his eyes lit up. *What a sexy woman!* Just a glance was enough to make him react physically. Before the apocalypse, he was a street thug; a woman as beautiful as her was never within his reach! It was only after awakening his powers in the apocalypse that he managed to turn his life around! So, at this moment, a cold sneer flickered across Zhou Kun's lips. *Such a beautiful woman, I can't let her go!*
"Heh, you say you didn't find any supplies just because you say so?" Zhou Kun sneered. "Maybe you've hidden them on yourselves!"
"Then what do you want to let our brothers go?" Yang Shu asked in a deep voice.
"It's simple, let me search you!" Zhou Kun declared. "If I don't find anything, it proves you really didn't take my supplies. If you dare not, then it means you did take our supplies!" He then pressed the gun harder against the heads of the two awakened individuals, causing them to cry out in fear. This feeling was far more terrifying than facing zombies!
The survivors in military uniforms behind Zhou Kun frowned. Even the most obtuse person could see his intentions, but the opposing party was much stronger, so they could do nothing.
"This bastard!" Zhao Qingxuan gritted her teeth, her hand tightening around her wolf-tooth mace. She glared coldly at Zhou Kun. *This despicable and disgusting guy actually wants to touch Shushu? Doesn't he know only I and Wang Luo can touch her?* But in this situation, she didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Wang Luo walked down from the helicopter. He had seen Zhou Kun before. They knew each other in his previous life. Zhou Kun was an SS-class lightning awakened, and very powerful. He had also established a faction, which had clashed with his own faction multiple times. It wasn't out of deep hatred, but merely for the competition of resources.
"Let's lure him over first!" Wang Luo said calmly. Yang Shu nodded slightly and called out to Zhou Kun, "Since you don't believe us, come and check!" But guarantee that these two will not be harmed!"
"Haha, don't worry, I, Zhou, keep my word. As long as you truly haven't taken my supplies, I will let them go safely!" Zhou Kun laughed heartily. *Let them go?* *What a joke!* *Not only will I not let them go, but you will all be my captives!*
"You guys, keep a close eye on these two. If anything happens to them, your dozen or so comrades can wait to starve to death in that room!" Zhou Kun said sternly to the few people in military uniforms behind him. "And don't think about ambushing me from behind. We're all in this together now. Don't forget that you were also involved in beating these two!"
After he left, a soldier behind him gritted his teeth and said, "If he wasn't holding our dozen or so comrades hostage, I would starve to death before becoming this scumbag's henchman!" Even though it was the apocalypse, their sense of duty was deeply ingrained in their hearts. Unfortunately, others had threatened the lives of their comrades, forcing them to comply.
"Fellows, this is a great opportunity. Shall we..." one of them said with a cold glint in his eyes.
"No! We don't know where he hid the key!" someone said worriedly.
"I refuse to believe we can't open that door without a key!"
"If all else fails, we'll just blow it up with grenades!"
In the next instant, several people opened fire simultaneously. Accompanied by several loud gunshots, Zhou Kun's back was instantly riddled with holes.
"You..." Zhou Kun turned around with difficulty, looking at his back in disbelief. Just as he was about to raise his gun, he was shot several more times in the chest. Crimson blood splattered, and Zhou Kun's body fell to the ground with a thud.
Yang Shu and the others were surprised. They were still figuring out how to act, when the other side started to turn on each other! Was this what they called "eating their master"? However, Wang Luo was not surprised. Having dealt with Zhou Kun before, he knew his character well. *This guy, if he lived in ancient times, would definitely be a tyrannical ruler who wielded absolute power and acted autocratically. He liked to control others by their vulnerabilities, especially their loved ones and food, thus forcing them to obey him!* However, Zhou Kun probably never expected that in this life, it would be the cause of his death! *Lust is a double-edged sword!*
After killing Zhou Kun, the soldiers in military uniforms again aimed their guns at the two D-class awakened individuals. They shouted to Yang Shu and the others, "We have no intention of being your enemies. We hope you will not make things difficult for us!"
"Don't worry, as long as you don't harm our companions, we won't attack without reason!" Yang Shu said loudly. He had originally considered recruiting them, but then he thought better of it. *People who betray their masters are not to be trusted. What if one day they stab me in the back? The consequences would be severe.* Although Wang Luo had guessed some of the reasons, he didn't want to get involved in other matters of factions, so he was too lazy to ask anything!
"It's a shame I didn't get to kill him myself. It's too easy for him," Zhao Qingxuan said coldly, looking at the corpse on the ground. The other group, after confirming that Yang Shu and the others had no intention of fighting, quickly turned and left!
"Two bosses, we're sorry!" The two D-class awakened individuals limped over, their faces full of guilt.
"As long as you're alright, it's fine. We didn't lose anything anyway!" Yang Shu shook his head.
