“This damn luck!”

Xiang Hongbin cursed.

He had fused with two Zombie Cores, but both attempts failed. Now, Cao Xin, that bastard, succeeded on his first try, which irritated him greatly.

Wei Zhenguo, however, was concerned about another aspect.

“What kind of strength does Cao Xin’s boss have?”

Feng Ming’an answered:

“Cao Xin couldn’t give a clear explanation, only that the guy is very strong and specializes in throwing weapons. He often carries a bundle of polished steel bars, capable of killing zombies from a great distance without making much noise. It’s ridiculously powerful…”

“Using steel bars to kill zombies?”

Wei Zhenguo was taken aback for a moment, then asked again:

“What’s his name?”

“Cao Xin isn’t sure, he only knows others call him Boss Shao, and he refers to him the same way.”

“Boss Shao… Shao Yong?”

Wei Zhenguo frowned.

“Huh? Old Wei, you know him?”

Ren Jie asked curiously.

“Didn’t I tell you, I saw an Ability User before. He managed to take on a group of zombies with just two steel bars. I invited him to join the Survivor Base, but he flatly refused… And this person is named Shao Yong!”

Wei Zhenguo’s frown deepened. If it really was Shao Yong, it meant the other man’s strength had increased a great deal!

Moreover, when he met Shao Yong at first, although the man was arrogant, he was decent, even asking Wei if he needed help.

But now, according to Cao Xin’s description, this Boss Shao was recruiting men like Cao Xin as his underlings and demanded Cao Xin to offer women to him… this Boss Shao didn’t seem like a good person at all!

Of course, it was the apocalypse now, there probably weren’t many good people left. He wouldn’t hold others to the standards of a good person’s behavior.

But the current issue was whether Shao Yong would seek vengeance for Cao Xin.

No matter the relationship between Shao Yong and Cao Xin, Cao Xin had acknowledged Shao Yong as his Boss. If a subordinate was bullied, the Boss had to make a statement, right? Otherwise, how could he command respect? Just like when Song Jinghong was killed, everyone risked danger to avenge him. The purpose wasn’t only vengeance but also to establish authority and solidify the cohesion among the Survivor Base’s members.

Wei Zhenguo wasn’t scared, but in the early days of the apocalypse, self-preservation was a problem. If it could be helped, people definitely did not want to make enemies or be on someone’s radar, especially since people from Shuize Base went out to scavenge for resources every day…

Wei Zhenguo briefly shared with everyone the encounter with Shao Yong, and the looks on their faces were not good.

They did not wish to become enemies with an Ability User, especially one who was clearly building his own force.

Although Ability Users might still likely be at a disadvantage against bullets, everyone could see the greater potential of Ability Users. What the future held for them, no one could be sure…

“This Shao Yong, he probably doesn’t know it was us who kidnapped Cao Xin, right?”

Ren Jie asked with a furrowed brow.

“That’s hard to say because one of Cao Xin’s underlings has seen me, and he was with Shao Yong today. He might suspect me,”

Wang Tao said straightforwardly.

“Then, this Cao Xin, how should we deal with him…”

Technician Liu He hesitated.

“Kill!”

Xiang Hongbin spoke out directly.

Wei Zhenguo and Xiang Hongbin usually didn’t get along, always taking jabs at each other, but this time Wei agreed with Xiang Hongbin.

“Kill!”

Not just them, including Feng Ming’an and Ren Jie, all nodded fiercely.

“Kill!”

“Not only must we kill him, we must execute him in front of all the survivors!”

Ren Jie added.

Wang Tao looked at Ren Jie somewhat surprised; he didn’t expect the former deputy magistrate to be so resolute.

As if knowing what Wang Tao was thinking, Ren Jie smiled and said:

“In times of chaos, heavy punishments are needed! Our ancestors wouldn’t deceive us.”

“Makes sense.”

Wang Tao nodded. He naturally also supported executing Cao Xin. He wasn’t the type to be threatened; after all, who wasn’t an Ability User? Wang Tao even thought of striking first… After all, it’s not the theft that you fear, but the thief who keeps thinking about it!

Seeing everyone felt the same, Liu He didn’t have more to say. Being a tech guy, he knew he had little experience in these matters and decided to go along with the others.

“As for that Shao Yong… we don’t need to be afraid. No matter how high the upper limit for Ability Users in the future, he definitely can’t stop a bullet right now. As long as we find the right opportunity, a Lu Gang alone can easily kill him, not to mention we also have Wang Tao. At most, we just need to caution the Hunters who go out later…”

After everyone agreed, they decided on Cao Xin’s death sentence.

Cao Xin had already woken up by this time. After hearing the judgment from everyone, he hummed frantically, but his mouth was sealed shut, unable to speak.

Xiang Hongbin ripped off the tape abruptly, and despite the pain of tearing off sweat hairs and beards, Cao Xin quickly began to plead with tears:

“Please don’t kill me! I really didn’t know that was your person—ah!”

He didn’t finish his sentence before Xiang Hongbin viciously kicked him, causing him to arch his back in pain.

“I didn’t let you talk to hear you beg for mercy, but to hear your screams!”

Xiang Hongbin gave another fierce kick.

“Ah—my boss, he won’t—ah!”

Wang Tao, not liking such scenes, left first.

The main reason was that he and Feng Ming’an had already tortured the guy- no, more precisely, Feng Ming’an did the torturing, he just assisted. So, he wasn’t interested anymore.

The execution of Cao Xin was scheduled for noon. At that time, all the survivors in the base would be called to watch. They had to let them know that Shuize Base never leaves its debts unpaid and that it was not to be trifled with, deterring anyone from nurturing crooked ideas..
