Chapter 79 Bloody Dawn

Bang.

With a gunshot, Ye Qi personally sent a prisoner on his way.

The bullet passed through his forehead, splashing blood, and the huge impact shattered half of his skull.

The prisoner fell down, deader than dead.

The bloody scene shocked everyone present.

Ye Qi was covered in blood-stained bandages and filled with murderous intent. Like a Shura, he raised his gun and aimed at the head of another prisoner.

“Don’t… don’t kill me…”

The man was so frightened that he wet his pants and collapsed on the ground like a pile of mud.

"When you followed the Chu family to sell drugs and kill people,

When a criminal organization was ordered to bully and kill survivors in the post-disaster city,

Has anyone ever begged you not to kill?

Did you spare them?"

Ye Qi questioned coldly and shot the other person to death.

Several of the Chu family's pursuit teams, captured by the waiting investigation team, had been held captive in the villa's basement. Seeing their companions being killed one after another, the twenty or thirty men were terrified and began to run around screaming.

However, their hands and feet were tied, and they fell under Ye Qi's gun after running only a few steps.

"No...you can't resort to lynching!"

Among the military and police officers who came to support later, some were accustomed to the iron discipline and could not help but stand up and speak.

Ye Qi looked at the man and said, "Order has collapsed. There is no distinction between public punishment and private punishment now!

These people have at least two murders on their hands. The one with the most murders was unanimously confessed by his accomplices to have killed no less than fifty people.

I have confessed everything I need to confess. There is no value in staying any longer.

What to do with them?

Let them continue to kill people, or let them share other people's food supplies

I would like to ask if anyone here has extra food to contribute and feed them."

The man was speechless after being asked this question.

In the moment Ye Qi was speaking, he had already shot every target and killed all the Chu family captives.

"Shouldn't... we... interrogate them and then... or wait until after the disaster, the authorities..."

There was silence after the gunshot.

After a while, someone spoke weakly.

Ye Qi looked over, his dark eyes fixed on the other person. "We must conduct a procedural investigation, presume innocence, and have irrefutable evidence before we can prosecute. Then we must conduct a public trial, determine the sentence according to the law, and only if there are no objections to the public announcement and the suspect does not appeal can the sentence be carried out."

"You're dreaming!"

"I understand the procedure better than any of you!"

"I would like to ask who is responsible for guarding them during this long process. What if they escape? If they run away and kill someone, who will be held responsible? Who will give them their own food and water and support them until they are executed?"

"One by one, clear your mind!"

"It's not like before!"

"During special times, keep everything simple!"

"Don't waste your overflowing compassion and sense of justice on bad people. Otherwise, how can we face the good people who shed blood and sacrificed their lives for us?"

Ye Qi scolded him without any politeness. The man who had spoken earlier lowered his head in shame, his face flushed red.

"Next." Ye Qi said coldly.

Another prisoner was brought up.

It wasn't the Chu family's group, but Marshall's men who led the mutant beasts to attack the safe house.

Qiao Lan took him along when he was transferred. Now that he had some time, he interrogated him again, but couldn't get any useful clues out of him, so he handed him over to Ye Qi to be executed as a warning to the public.

"Next one."

The target who was arrested at the Tsui Wah Hotel was Auntie No. 6.

This girl is lucky. In the chaos in the hotel, no one deliberately protected her, and she managed to survive by chance.

Before Aunt He's research institute was shut down, she was kept as a backup. Now she was useless. Her level was much lower than Aunt He's, and she had already revealed all the information she knew.

"You will be punished by God sooner or later! None of you will have a good ending. Your relatives, friends, people around you, and everyone you have come into contact with will be wrathed and implicated because of your crimes. God will not let you go—"

She died heroically, shouting "divine punishment" and fell in a pool of blood.

The shrill cry and the mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth before death inexplicably made the bloody scene more weird.

But then, these little weirdness disappeared.

Because the large-screen LCD smart TV in the Chu family villa was moved to the center of the field, the screen played edited surveillance video.

"Hurry up! I'll cover your retreat—"

"You bastards, I'll die with you!"

"Go, go, go! Leave me alone!"

…

The roars of the soldiers in the hail of bullets reached everyone's ears through the loudspeakers turned up to the maximum volume.

Shocking the eardrums and the soul.

Those who were shocked by the bloody scene of the execution, or perhaps had a little confusion, doubt or even opposition, were even more shocked by another kind of bloodiness on the screen.

The huge, unnatural bear-like beast crushed Ye Qi into a bloody mess with one kick...

The last two warriors who rushed into the building, faced with the surging mutant beasts, ignited the explosives in their arms...

And the plummeting fighter plane, the explosion and flames rising into the sky...

And Ye Qi, covered in blood, refused to surrender under the siege of spider-shaped monsters until he was exhausted...

Scene after scene, death after death...

Bringing everyone into the one-way assault last night.

After the video is finished, it will loop for the second time.

Feng Feng brought a few people and carried a series of stretchers into the field.

When the white cloth was lifted, the unrecognizable bodies of the martyrs appeared.

Aside from a few that had been cleaned and tidied to some degree, most were left in the state they were in at the time of death. Because they were so damaged, there was no way to beautify the remains. What could be done to beautify a pool of flesh and blood? Only by preserving the original state could all parts of the remains be preserved to the greatest extent possible.

"vomit……"

People couldn't help vomiting one after another, and they vomited so much that tears and snot streamed down their cheeks and they couldn't breathe.

Even though everyone here had seen the bodies of various victims in the city after the disaster, the bloodiness before their eyes was still far beyond everyone's tolerance.

"Do you want to vomit?"

"Yes, these limbs, blood clots, broken bones, blood mud, and even the monster fragments mixed together, I don't know what to call it anymore. It's disgusting to look at."

"But before last night, they were still living people. Their health was better than anyone else present, and their condition was better than everyone else's."

"With full fighting spirit and determination to die, they said goodbye to their loved ones and rushed to a battle that might very well have no outcome."

"What for? To protect every one of us here, to protect this city from being swallowed by evil forces and mutated monsters!"

"All of them knew that once they left, it would likely be a farewell to the world forever."

Ye Qi pursed his lips.

He lowered his eyes to hide the tears in them.

Feng Feng stood aside and opened the notebook containing 17 suicide notes.

——Mom, I haven’t contacted you yet, but there is something I have to do.

—I will win! I won’t die! I won’t die! No!!! I’m a little scared, hehe, but it’s okay, I’ll go!

——My little baby Tuantuan, Daddy is going to be a hero, you stay good to mommy and wait for me.

…

Unlike his usual chatterbox style, his slow and deep voice echoed in the room for a long time.

Under each short suicide note is the name of the person who left the message.

But at this time, the name and the body no longer matched.

Ye Qi met the special police for the first time last night. They exchanged names, but they were not familiar with each other.

Even if they were familiar investigators, it would be difficult to match the body because the body was so bloody and unrecognizable.

The bodies were piled together and covered with a large white paper with the names of all the victims written on it.

It caught fire on the spot.

It was difficult to cremate with ordinary flames because the temperature could not be reached, and the tar and smell emitted were also choking. Ye Qi directly used his supernatural powers, and lightning struck the fire. The flames blazed up and quickly turned all the remains into ashes.

Cremation was chosen to reduce the production of bacteria and viruses in this post-disaster city that was already littered with corpses, and also to prevent someone, especially someone from a criminal organization, from destroying the body after burial, or even using the body for unpredictable activities.

More importantly, it is to allow everyone to pay the highest respect to the heroes in the warm and pure firelight.

The moved people held their breath, shed tears, and bid farewell to the martyrs in the flames.

Not only the people in the Chu family villa, but also other surviving residents in the community, when they heard the gunshots, some of them bravely came over to quietly see the situation. After learning the truth, they quietly joined the mourning crowd.

There are also residents who hide at home and dare not come out. They hear the sounds here, see the images on the big screen, and quietly feel the shock behind the windows.

The shock of execution and the shock of sacrifice.

It was almost dusk when the memorial service began.

By the time the remains of the martyrs had all turned to ashes and were preserved in a box, it was already dark.

As night falls, a bright star twinkles in the sky, golden with a hint of blood red.

Another big fire started, burning the prisoners who were executed.

Ye Qi's lightning struck fiercely, and the corpses were almost turned into ashes by the lightning, and the fire became a subsidiary.

They are not worthy of being preserved and commemorated. The ashes from the burnt trees are directly blown into the nearby bushes. They can be used as fertilizer for plants in the future, so they still have some value.

"Everyone, starting from here today, with this small building as our first base, we will establish a survivor base."

"From now on, everything here is under my command."

"You can understand that I will be the dictator here."

"We need to establish a guard team, a medical team, a supply search team, and a logistics support team. Everyone must participate, and must work hard, and even sacrifice their lives when necessary. We don't keep idle people here."

"From now on, no matter who finds the supplies, they will be handed over and distributed fairly."

"Those who conceal secrets will be severely punished! Those who cause trouble will be severely punished! Those who betray will be severely punished!"

"Severe punishments, including starvation, water deprivation, and even execution."

"If you are not satisfied with the rules here, please leave immediately."

"Those who wish to stay and join, please go over there to register and hand in all your supplies to show your loyalty."

"Ten minutes to decide. Those who don't sign up will be deemed as not participating in this base and will be expelled immediately. Those who have signed up must obey me absolutely from now on. Your life and death are in my hands!"

Ye Qi announced the establishment of the new base in a domineering and tyrannical manner, giving everyone the freedom to stay or leave.

Everyone was confused by these waves of operations.

First there was a bloody and shocking execution, then there was a tearful memorial service, and now, they are going to forcibly establish a base and separate everyone present?

"Eight minutes left."

"Five minutes."

"Three minutes."

Ye Qi did not give anyone the opportunity to question or bargain.

Just remind me of the time every few minutes.

People looked at each other in confusion at first, then started whispering to each other, and finally saw that time was running out and hurriedly decided to stay or go. Everything was done very quickly.

Ye Qi looked at the people who were leaving or staying with an expressionless face.

Being tough and domineering is not his true nature.

But in special times, only strong and iron-blooded forces can quickly establish the most basic order.

Civilization, morality and the rule of law are necessities in peacetime, but they are stumbling blocks now.

Carrying the responsibility of the sacrifices of so many comrades, he must continue to shoulder the responsibility, otherwise he will be uneasy for the rest of his life!

He will strike back to the end when he needs to!

What needs to be protected must be protected to the end!

He wanted to build this base. Even if everyone present disagreed and wanted to leave, he would build it alone, and then slowly expand it to save the city and establish a new order.

Then, in the long and chaotic night, we wait for the dawn to come to the world again.

The old world is destroyed, but a new world will definitely exist.

No matter how far away it is, it will happen.

He firmly believes it!

"Captain Ye, I'm in!"

"I, I, I, I follow you, I believe in you."

"Count me in."

"I...I can't fight, and I don't have any skills. Can you still take me?"

Ten minutes.

What comforted Ye Qi a little was that although some people had left, the majority of people still stayed.

Moreover, other surviving residents in the community also took the initiative to participate. Not only did they sign up, they also reported the amount of drinking water available in their homes and offered to provide housing.

Perhaps he was impressed by Ye Qi's strength and tyranny, or perhaps he was inspired by the martyr.

In the end, there were fifty-nine people on the registration form.

Even if some people left, there were still more people in the villa than at the beginning.

"Everyone."

"Thank you for entrusting your life and death to me."

"From this moment on, I entrust my life and death to you."

"From now on, we are all compatriots in the same camp."

"We will advance and retreat together, share hardships together, and live and die together!"

"Amidst the ruins, amidst the blood and fire, we will carve out a new world for ourselves, and await the dawn of order!"

This is the first survivor base in City C.

It was named Bloody Dawn.

"Ye Qi, I have something to talk to you about."

"That's right, I have something to talk to you about."

When everything was arranged, it was already late at night.

Qiao Lan stopped Ye Qi on his way back to his room.

The two entered Ye Qi's room and closed the door.

"How is your injury?" Qiao Lan rarely spoke kindly to Ye Qi, which surprised him a little.

In front of her, Ye Qi pulled off the bandages wrapped around his head, revealing that although there was blood on his skin, the huge wound had healed and only scars remained.

Then came the neck, shoulders, and chest...

All the bandages were removed and the wounds closed.

Qiao Lan was surprised. It had only been one day!

It turns out that Ye Yanwang not only possesses powerful lightning elemental abilities, but also a domineering healing ability? This self-healing ability belongs to the kind of evolutionary who changes their physical constitution, so he actually has two abilities?

"Okay, stop it!"

Qiao Lan stopped him when he was removing the bandage on his abdomen.

It would be bad to tear it down further, wouldn't it? She's a serious person.

Ye Qi raised an eyebrow, removed the bandage from his stomach, and changed into a shirt. He didn't plan to continue removing it. What was this girl thinking?

I don't know who the men's shirt found in the Chu family villa belongs to. It's a big size and looks a bit big on him, making his tall and slender figure look even thinner.

The muscles are narrow and smooth, not skinny, but the standard type of person who looks thin when dressed and has muscles when undressed.

Before he buttoned his shirt, Qiao Lan took a quick glance at his chest and abdominal muscles, secretly admiring them.

The huge question in her heart prevented her from indulging in beauty, and her thoughts decisively shifted.

"What do you want from me?" Ye Qi asked.

Qiao Lan immediately took out his notebook.

The one who wrote the suicide note.

Turning to a certain page, she pointed at the few lines of words on it and Ye Qi's name below. Before she could ask, her heart started beating irregularly.

"Did you really write this last will?"
