These people were all standing by the car door, which gave everyone a chance to deal with the situation all at once.
There were twenty people in the group. The people who were next to Gu Jin were all lying on the ground and could not get up anymore.
After dealing with some of them, the rest panicked and began to beg for mercy.
"Don't kill us, don't kill us! If you don't kill us, we can give you everything."
Seeing that the remaining people had already begged for mercy, Wang Shuo said to Jiang Li and the others.
"Let these people stay; after all, they're just trying to survive."
Jiang Li and Gu Jin stopped firing after hearing what Wang Shuo said. After all, they were only there to do a mission. Although she felt that these people should not be allowed to live, they would not make a move since Wang Shuo had spoken.
"Yes, yes, we just want to make a living. As long as you don't kill us, we can give you all our supplies, and women too!!!"
"We have many women, and we'll give them all to you in due time."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shuo quickly asked them.
"You also kidnapped women!! How many of you are still around?"
Seeing Wang Shuo's agitation upon hearing about women, the others assumed he was a womanizer and quickly replied.
"We have a dozen or so people left in our base. We've captured quite a few women. You can have them all if you want."
There's meat too, yes, there's meat too! You must not have eaten meat in a long time, right? If you're willing to let us go, we can take you to our place.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li knew that these people thought they were also lone wolves and hadn't recognized them as members of the base.
"If you have meat, why are you still out here robbing people?"
Wang Shuo found it strange. They clearly had food, it wasn't extremely cold, and they didn't lack clothes, so why did they risk coming out?
"this……"
When the topic of meat came up, several people seemed to evade the question, stammering and unable to speak.
Jiang Li noticed something was off from their expressions and had a guess in her mind. Before Jiang Li could speak, Gu Jin had already asked the question.
What kind of meat do you have?
Those men still refused to speak, so Gu Jin picked up a gun and pointed it at them. They immediately panicked, and one of the men spoke up.
"It's mutton, but it's from two-legged sheep. The taste is just as good as mutton."
"Are you even human?!"
When Wang Shuo heard that they were eating human flesh, he couldn't help but curse out loud, and the others who heard him also wanted to beat them to death.
Hearing them say that, Jiang Li realized that it was indeed what they were thinking. There were many people like that in the apocalypse, but when he actually encountered them, he still felt a surge of anger.
Those who have eaten two-legged sheep are no longer considered human; for them, death is the only option.
Jiang Li looked at these people with icy eyes and said coldly.
"Where did you two-legged sheep come from?"
"Some of them froze to death during the extreme cold, some died while being robbed on the roadside, and some were picked up by us when we encountered them on the road."
They're all dead, isn't it a waste to just leave them there? Rather than letting them be eaten by wild animals later, it's better for us to benefit from them, at least we can survive.
They are all compatriots, they should help each other, they should…
Before the man could continue speaking, Jiang Li couldn't hold back any longer and pulled the trigger, killing him instantly.
The others were even more terrified at the sight; if it weren't for so many guns pointed at them, they would have already escaped.
When the team heard him say that, they really couldn't help but want to take action. Seeing what Jiang Li did, they felt a sense of satisfaction.
"Do you still think there's any need to keep someone like that around?"
Jiang Li turned to Wang Shuo and said.
"this……"
Wang Shuo was still a little hesitant. Although he also wanted to kill them after hearing their stories, they were just trying to survive. If they could repent and start anew...
"Sometimes you have to be ruthless. Some people don't deserve sympathy. Just look at what they said. Do you think they can ever change their ways?"
Look at their physiques again. How many sheep do you think they ate to get that physique? Even people in the base might not have such good physiques.
Besides, if you want to take them back to the base, who would want to keep company with people who've eaten sheep before?
Gu Jin noticed that Wang Shuo was still hesitant and tried to persuade him, saying that Wang Shuo still lacked experience and was too soft-hearted. In the apocalypse, being too soft-hearted is not a good thing.
Every path is chosen by the people themselves; they cannot pull everyone who has gone down a dead end back.
"Then leave one person behind. Someone has to lead us to their hideout. We still need to rescue those who have been captured."
After hearing Gu Jin's words, Wang Shuo hardened his heart and said...
Jiang Li didn't say anything more. Some things only leave a deep impression when you experience them yourself.
In the end, Wang Shuo left one person behind to lead the way for everyone.
"These bodies cannot be left here."
Gu Jin said.
Gu Jin wasn't being kind-hearted by wanting to collect these people's bodies; rather, she couldn't leave their corpses there to prevent others from becoming like them.
"Then just burn it. You have gasoline, right?"
Jiang Li turned to Wang Shuo, who was standing beside him, and said.
"Yes, I had someone pile the bodies together."
The group worked together to pile the bodies on the roadside and poured some gasoline on them.
It only takes a tiny spark to ignite it instantly.
Instead of standing around watching the raging fire, people went over and cleared the roadblocks, leaving behind anything useful and putting it in their cars.
At this moment, the cars behind them also caught up and stopped when they saw Jiang Li and the others stopped on the road.
Fang Qingxun and Fu Xiaxia got out of the car and walked to Jiang Li and the others.
"Boss, sis, what are you doing? What are you burning? It smells awful."
Fang Qingxun saw Xiong Xiong's anger as soon as he arrived.
"Yeah, what is that? It smells awful!"
Fu Xiaxia also couldn't stand the smell.
Jiang Li then told the two of them what had just happened.
“They’re scumbags. They even eat this. It’s too good for them to die like this. I’ll go with you guys later. I’m going to beat these people to death.”
Fu Xiaxia felt that anything could happen in this big world, even eating two-legged sheep, which was truly inhumane.
Fang Qing returned to the car and told Shi Lin and Shi Yuan what had just happened. The two of them were also furious after hearing it.
Wang Shuo and Jiang Li explained that they didn't want too many people to know, fearing that someone might think of this method when they ran out of food in the future, so the fewer people who knew, the better.
Jiang Li and the others also expressed their understanding, saying that it is indeed better for as few people as possible to know about this, as there is no guarantee that those who do know will not have bad intentions.
Wang Shuo planned to send the convoy into the city first, settle the survivors, and then set off.
The fire was still burning when the convoy left; it certainly wouldn't go out anytime soon.
The convoy encountered no further unexpected situations on the way to the city and entered the city smoothly.
After Wang Shuo had settled the convoy, he called the people from earlier and Jiang Li and the others to head to those people's hideout.
