The only fate for a woman who insults me is death.
"Heh, do you even know what you are? You're nothing but lambs waiting for the slaughter!"
One of them burst out laughing, evidently thinking Xue Feng was just another survivor among them.
Last time, when they robbed the group of their food, no one dared to resist.
Now, was someone actually threatening them?
Utterly ridiculous.
"Is that so?"
Xue Feng replied coolly.
"Divine Lightning!"
In the next instant, a bolt as thick as a bowl shot from his hand.
The man didn't even have time to scream; his entire body was charred, lying rigid on the ground.
The lightning didn't stop there—it leapt as a flash onto another person.
In the blink of an eye, several were reduced to burning corpses.
Only the blond and the green-haired woman remained.
They had been poised to watch the show, but now reality dawned on them.
"Damn it, start the car! Hurry up!"
The blond scrambled into the vehicle, followed closely by the green-haired woman, who was already inside.
They slammed on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle vanished at the end of the road.
"Why didn't Brother Xue Feng finish them off?"
You Haoyun watched, confused, and couldn't help but quietly ask Shen Ruyan beside her.
With Xue Feng's strength, eliminating them would have been easy.
"They're not the only ones. Letting them go, so they can report back, serves a purpose,"
Shen Ruyan had already sensed Xue Feng's intention.
Rather than chasing them, it was better to let the enemy come to him.
Xue Feng then approached the two off-road vehicles left behind.
He rummaged through the interiors, discovering many small red pills and white powder.
It was clear these people indulged in such substances for pleasure.
No wonder their behavior was frenzied and destructive, their eyes manic, nothing like normal people.
"Are you an Ability User as well?"
Liu Jun had returned to normal, coming up to Xue Feng, his face filled with shock.
The scene of Xue Feng's battle had stunned him.
Compared to this, his own abilities seemed little more than circus tricks.
"You should think carefully about how to deal with that group next,"
"They'll be back soon,"
Xue Feng said.
"And what about you! You killed their people, you have to stay and help us!"
Liu Qiqi ran over, hands on her hips and lips pursed, her big eyes glaring at Xue Feng.
"Qiqi, how can you talk like that! If it weren't for Brother Xue, who knows how many of us would be dead now!"
Liu Jun was instantly anxious; he hadn't expected his sister to be so rude.
He reached out, intending to smack her, but sighed and let it go.
After all, his sister was his only family, and he'd never raised a hand against her.
She was his precious jewel.
"I... I just want him to help us! Where can we run to?"
Liu Qiqi's tears began to fall; she simply didn't want her brother to die.
"Liu Jun, why don't you take your sister and run? Leave us here."
"Yes, if it weren't for you, we would've died who knows how many times. Let us stay and bear their wrath."
"If we're targeted, that's the end."
People gathered around, their expressions tragic.
They were even willing to die for Liu Jun.
Seeing this, Shen Ruyan felt conflicted.
She, like Liu Jun, had once saved many people.
But those she rescued had abandoned her.
Were Liu Jun's people more moral?
Shen Ruyan doubted it.
It was more that these people had no other choice.
They couldn't expect Liu Jun to die with them.
No one stood up to challenge Liu Jun's authority.
In contrast, the women and elders Shen Ruyan had saved could always turn to Baldy.
"If I wanted to leave, I would have done so long ago! If it weren't for you saving my sister, what reason would I have to live?"
A bitter smile appeared on Liu Jun's lips.
When the apocalypse broke out, his sister was surrounded by zombies.
These people had saved her.
At that moment, Liu Jun had resolved to repay them, to live and die together.
"But Brother Xue Feng, I beg you to take my sister with you. You can protect her!"
With a thud, Liu Jun knelt before Xue Feng.
"Brother, what are you doing! We don't have to beg him!"
Liu Qiqi was flustered, trying to pull her brother up.
She didn't want Liu Jun to humble himself like this.
Xue Feng was amused by the scene.
"If you beg me, I might consider saving your brother. As for the others, they're not my concern."
Xue Feng smiled faintly.
This survivor base was relatively normal.
Using them as a buffer zone seemed a good idea.
Hearing this, hope flared in the eyes of the surrounding people.
All their gazes fixed on Liu Qiqi.
Though none spoke, they were all hoping she'd do it.
After all, Xue Feng had proven his strength.
"You... you bastard! I know even if I kneel and beg, you won't agree!"
Liu Qiqi clenched her fists, not trusting Xue Feng at all.
"That's unfortunate. You've lost the chance to save your brother."
Xue Feng shook his head, as if about to get in the car and leave.
Shen Ruyan and You Haoyun followed him.
"Wait, don't go!"
Liu Qiqi panicked. If Xue Feng left, their base was doomed.
Seeing Xue Feng about to drive off, Liu Qiqi also dropped to her knees.
"Please, can you help us?"
Her eyes were filled with humiliation.
"Very well. My base lacks a cook. If you're willing to come, I'll save everyone here."
Xue Feng turned and spoke.
He wasn't simply looking for a cook.
Liu Jun was the leader of these survivors, and clearly cherished his sister.
With Liu Qiqi in his hands, she would be a hostage.
A cook?
Many survivors looked at Xue Feng with hopeful eyes, wishing he had chosen them.
Xue Feng seemed stronger, and following him promised a better life.
At least they wouldn't have to worry about being bullied by other survivors.
But no one spoke.
They all sensed why Xue Feng chose Liu Qiqi—because she was beautiful.
When the apocalypse began, many had pursued Liu Qiqi.
But her fiery temperament had driven most away.
Liu Qiqi's face turned pale at Xue Feng's demand.
She hadn't expected him to make such a request.
"Fine, no problem!"
What shocked her even more was that Liu Jun agreed without hesitation, ready to give her to this man.
