Chapter 44: The first appearance of the vehicle form. What is right and wrong, coloring the blank paper...

Late at night, on the edge of the building's rooftop, Minghuan was looking out at what was happening on the battlefield below.

In the biting cold wind, he was as motionless as a wooden sculpture. The young man's soul, as thin as a blank sheet of paper, had long since flown away into the sky, leaving only an empty shell left there.

He saw Gao Fengyuan easily block the fierce attacks from the four psychics. Any tricks he used were as powerless as an ant trying to shake a tree.

He saw the sharp long knife execute those quickly defeated minions without hesitation, without any delay or giving them any room to beg for mercy;

He saw that the mastermind of the arson gang had lost his previous arrogance and was fleeing in panic with his tail between his legs like a stray dog. His embarrassing escape route was so clear in Minghuan's eyes.

Is this the end of the world where strength determines everything...

At this moment, the relationship between the strong and the weak seemed to have undergone a drastic reversal. The series of changes tonight were completely beyond Minghuan's cognition, leaving his mind blank.

"Xiao Ming, what are you daydreaming about—"

At some point Gao Fengyuan returned to the rooftop. His deep voice rang faintly in Minghuan's ears, as hoarse as a whisper from the abyss, causing him to subconsciously hold his breath.

As if noticing the direction Bao Gai was fleeing, Gao Fengyuan casually shoved a small laser gun into Ming Huan's hand. His voice sounded nonchalant, as if he were simply discussing a trivial matter:

"Should we kill this man?"

Before Ming Huan could respond, the system lost its patience and started shouting, "Host, are you planning to train him? This kid seems like a softie, isn't he?"

[What? You want to teach me a lesson——] Hearing this, Gao Fengyuan's sparkling peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

How could this be!?

The system quickly adopted a flattering tone, with a hint of flattery in its words:

[But host, you also know that the experience points gained from slapping and beating up scumbags are quite considerable. 030 simply felt that such a good opportunity couldn't be wasted just because the child was soft-hearted...]

[Oh, really? Then—would you like to make a bet?]

After saying that, Alpha set his gaze on Minghuan's face.

The man's thick eyelashes trembled and fluttered several times, reminding Gao Fengyuan of leaves shivering in the wind. His cold lips moved slightly, and finally a vague and broken syllable uttered.

The young man seemed to have spent a lot of energy to repeat the heavy word, he said: "Kill..."

As soon as he said this, Minghuan was shocked by his own cold voice. He couldn't even believe what he had just said.

Hearing that familiar chuckle, Ming Huan subconsciously took a few steps back. He explained incoherently:

"No, I don't know. I don't have the right... I don't even know him..."

After all, before the end of the world, he was just an ordinary student who had never killed a chicken in his life.

"Ahaha—a principled kid." Gao Fengyuan seemed to see through his inner thoughts, but he didn't give him any chance to escape. He grabbed Minghuan's shoulders and said, "But do we need a reason to punish evildoers?"

Then Alpha leaned down slightly, put his chin on his head without any hesitation, and sighed softly:

"Oh, I wonder if a scumbag like him will think so much next time he kills someone?"

Buzz——!

This simple sentence was like a bolt of lightning that struck Minghuan's brain, leaving him speechless and almost unable to speak.

The boy's simple heart seemed to be burned by a blazing flame, and something was pulling hard at his usually law-abiding soul.

So, under Gao Fengyuan's gaze that seemed to have substance, Ming Huan followed stiffly like a puppet, his steps as chaotic as that of an ordinary zombie.

[I'm going to win.]

During the time Ming Huan followed him, he heard all sorts of unbearable curses and venomous words uttered by Bao Gai. He also saw his fellow zombie being torn and scratched by zombies, struggling to survive in the rotting mud...

The two ideas of "karmic retribution" and "sympathy for one's own kind" kept colliding fiercely in his mind. The boy, who was as simple and pure as a blank sheet of paper, was completely plunged into confusion.

Enough—Minghuan stopped and closed his eyes tightly, trying to drive those tragic images out of his mind.

However, the compassion in the young man's heart, which seemed particularly ridiculous in the end times, was still touched, and he never took action.

Finally, the day was about to dawn, and the figure wearing the Tianyun Base uniform in the distance gradually became clearer. It seemed that fate had made the choice for him.

You lose.

[That may not be the case.]

"I……"

Before dawn, amid Bao Gai's almost manic laughter, Ming Huan slowly turned around and looked at Gao Fengyuan. He took a step closer to him, wanting to ask if he could hand this criminal over to the human base for processing.

Then, he heard the malicious curse: "... Bastard! I, Bao Gai, must -"

Cover...

Cover!

Hearing this terrifying yet familiar name, Minghuan's vision nearly blacked out. The virus dormant in his shrunken left leg seemed to suddenly activate, and his toes began to scratch uncontrollably and frantically.

The places on his body that had been bitten by zombies once again felt intense phantom pain, and fear and pain seeped into his mind.

At the same time, Ming Huan's eyes seemed to be revolving around him, and memories of the past suddenly flooded back like a tide:

"Minghuan...you look quite energetic. I heard you have a good sense of direction? Then why don't you show the way to the distinguished guests at Tianyun Base today? Remember to introduce our base to them."

"Is this the tour guide sent by the First Base to receive us? He looks like a jerk. I'm afraid he's here to seduce us, right?"

"Well, forget it, let him get in the car quickly. I advise you to behave yourself. That guy—he's not in a good mood today."

"What did you say? You're not a psychic, you only know how to find your way? Hahahaha, what kind of crappy skill is that!"

"Tsk, the first base in Q City can't even send out a decent character? They use such an ordinary person to fool us..."

"Hey—that person, you, come here. You're lucky today. Our team is still short of a pet dog, and Tianyun is willing to give you a chance to climb up the social ladder. Now, kneel down in the back seat and thank him."

"What's up, you idiot? You're not happy about it, are you? Then go and make out with some zombies!"

"You ungrateful thing! You're so lucky that Crown Prince Tianyun has taken a liking to you! Do you know how many people want to curry favor with him but can't?"

Then, the group of demons laughed and pushed him off the armored vehicle.

As expected, Minghuan, who was powerless, was bitten and infected with the zombie virus.

However, whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, just when Minghuan was about to be eaten by zombies, he awakened his mimicry ability and narrowly escaped the fate of death.

However, the E-level ability is too weak. Minghuan's left leg, which was the most seriously injured, has been difficult to heal, and he himself is even at risk of becoming a zombie at any time.

Under such circumstances, no base was willing to accept him, and he was abandoned. Minghuan had no choice but to start a life of struggling alone in a sea of ​​blood and corpses.

In this unbearable memory, whenever he woke up suddenly from fear in the middle of the night, the boy clearly remembered that the group of demons from Tianyun Base respectfully called the leader "Brother Gai".

…

So, is it really true that “good people don’t live long, but evil people live for a thousand years” in this world?

The reinforcements from Tianyun Base were getting closer and closer. Seeing Bao Gai becoming arrogant and happy again, Minghuan kept thinking about this question, but his limited experience could not give him an answer.

So, he pulled the trigger—

At this moment, Minghuan felt as if the gun in his hand had lost its weight, and it felt light in his hand, just like the life of an ordinary person in doomsday, as light as a feather.

Would the Celestial Dragons be more formidable? Ming Huan didn't know. He only saw the bag cover, which had been hit, burst open with a "puff" sound, like a fragile water bag filled with water.

A dark red river emitting the breath of death continuously gushed out from under him and quickly spread across the ground.

What started out as a trickle soon formed a sizable swamp, with the surface of the pool of blood covered in disgusting dense foam.

It seems that the fate of evildoers is not that hard...

Ming Huan was stunned as he watched the powerful scene unfold before him. His hand gripping the gun was still trembling slightly, and from the force he was exerting, the tips of his fingers were already turning a distinct white.

"Classmate Xiao Ming..."

Someone was calling him. This familiar voice was like a lingering hook, instantly pulling Minghuan back to his somewhat distracted state of mind.

He slowly turned his head towards the source of the sound and saw Gao Fengyuan's mouth opening and closing. However, Minghuan's ears were still echoing with his own pounding heartbeat and the chaotic and noisy sounds around him, making it difficult for him to understand for a moment.

But he was always a good student who listened to advice. So, Minghuan, without hesitation, fired the second bullet as if on instinct, giving the dying man his final relief.

【Okay, you win.】

In an instant, the air seemed to freeze and fell into deathly silence.

Immediately afterwards, an even greater commotion erupted among the guards at Tianyun Base. Their faces displayed a riot of complex emotions, some with eyes filled with panic, astonishment, and even hidden joy.

"He, he killed Bao Gai!"

Not long after, the leaders looked at each other, and then rushed fiercely towards Minghuan.

"Provoking Tianyun Base, you are seeking death—"

The next second, countless mixed supernatural lights rushed towards him along with the angry roars of the guards, but Minghuan seemed to notice nothing.

Because at this moment, Gao Fengyuan laughed and stretched out his arms, lifted him up high like coaxing a child, and then placed Minghuan steadily on his neck.

In the bright and soft morning light, Alpha smiled wildly. He tilted his head and said, "Looks like we're in big trouble—are you ready to escape?"
