Qin Bai knew that it would take some time for the Ice Corpse to turn everyone into Ice Corpses, and that was exactly the time he needed.
Wu Ming had considered going up to rescue them, but he quickly dismissed the idea.
The reason is simple: he can save these people once, but what if Lin Zhao does it again?
How many times can he save someone?
He was just a person, an ordinary person; he couldn't do anything like a savior.
Even listening to the various screams from above, Wu Ming still felt somewhat distressed.
Qin Bai reached out and patted his shoulder: "Old Wu, you've done much better than before. You don't need to take on everything yourself."
Zeng Qiangguo, a middle-aged man who had lived for decades, naturally saw through Wu Ming's mindset.
He said with a smile, "Seeing you is like seeing my former self. But no matter how naive a person is, after experiencing the harsh realities of society, they will understand one thing."
"The only person you can save is yourself, not others. To put it bluntly, what does someone else's life or death have to do with you?"
"I've seen many real-life versions of the story of the farmer and the snake. Brother Qin can give you a hand, but he can't hold you up forever."
Wu Ming nodded. Of course he understood this principle, and Zeng Qiangguo's words were also a reminder to him.
"It seems my awareness is still insufficient. In that case, I'll take charge when it's time to make a move."
The three of them lay on the snow, waiting patiently, while the younger brother also waited.
When they could no longer hear any screams coming from the room, they realized one thing: there were no living people there, only frozen corpses.
"I've finally completed the task assigned by the boss. I'll go tell him the good news later."
The younger brother was very happy and was about to go find his boss, Lin Zhao.
Just as he happily stepped out of the stairwell, a figure descended from the sky and punched him directly in the face.
bump!
The younger brother was knocked to the ground and let out a scream of pain.
"Who! Who dares to hit me..."
The underling was about to use his status as the boss to intimidate others when he saw a familiar face in front of him.
Qin Bai, Wu Ming, and... someone I don't know.
But the two people in front of him were enough to terrify his underlings.
Everyone knows that the boss wanted to kill these two, but they were too powerful. A few ice corpses alone were no match for them, forcing the boss to do it.
Using the ice corpses, create even more ice corpses, and then lure all of them to Qin Bai and Wu Ming's doorstep.
But I never expected that they would dare to come out at this time?
Aren't they afraid of being discovered by their boss and then being surrounded by the army?
"Qin Bai, Wu Ming! I'm telling you, if you dare lay a hand on me, the boss won't let you get away with it!"
The younger brother shouted, his voice filled with bluster but his heart was filled with fear.
"Yeah?"
Qin Bai didn't care at all. He kicked the other person, making him twitch on the ground. Then he took out his severed finger and slashed the other person's neck.
The younger brother was startled, thinking that Qin Bai had slit his throat with a knife. Fortunately, he realized that it was just a bloodstain.
The three of them did not leave, but continued to observe each other's changes.
At first, the other party seemed perfectly fine, but gradually, the younger brother kept shrinking his neck and making puzzled noises.
"Strange, why is it suddenly so cold? I'm wearing so many clothes, and I even asked the boss for a hand warmer."
The younger brother's voice was trembling; he had no idea what was happening.
"It's so cold... I'm freezing! I want to go inside the house, it's warm there."
The younger brother shakily got up and was about to go inside to warm up when Zeng Qiangguo went up to him and kicked him to the ground again.
This time, the younger brother couldn't get up. His face turned visibly pale, and some frost appeared on his face.
It's obvious that he's transforming into an ice corpse, but the process is a bit slow.
"The ice corpse bites people directly and transforms very quickly, but the speed is very slow if done in this way."
"It looks like it will take almost half an hour, or even longer, for it to completely turn into an ice corpse."
"But that's enough for us. What would happen if we found one of Lin Zhao's underlings, left a wound on him, and sent him back?"
Qin Bai's words broadened Wu Ming's horizons, and he realized that his thinking was still too simplistic.
He only thought about how to defeat Lin Zhao through sheer strength, but Qin Bai could already imagine so many insidious... cough cough, useful methods.
That's the difference!
He knew he couldn't test Qin Bai's new idea with this underling, so he waited until the underling had completely turned into an ice corpse before making his move.
Pfft!
A head flew off, but no crystals were found upon examination.
What is the use of crystallization?
Wu Ming asked.
"I don't know, but anything that can be born inside an ice corpse must be extraordinary. Let's collect some for future use."
Qin Bai certainly wouldn't say that the crystals seemed to have some benefit to his space, and he certainly wouldn't mind having more.
They threw the underling's body into a patch of soft snow, so that from the outside, there was no visible problem.
Afterwards, they looked for new targets, but unfortunately, it seemed that none of Lin Zhao's underlings were acting alone, which disappointed them.
"Brother Qin, look over there."
Suddenly, Zeng Qiangguo seemed to notice something and pointed ahead.
Qin Bai looked over and saw more than a dozen of Lin Zhao's underlings leading seven or eight women toward the store.
Wu Ming's face darkened. If he couldn't understand this, he would be a fool.
Lin Zhao has only been the leader for a short time, and he's already starting to learn those tricks.
It's easy to imagine how these women were treated in the past.
Qin Bai stroked his chin. Power really can corrupt a person's heart. Although Lin Zhao became the boss before, he never did this.
But now, he has become so engrossed in power that he has even had his underlings find women for his pleasure.
If Qin Bai remembered correctly, Lin Zhao seemed to have a wife and children, and even his parents were here.
No one stepped in to stop them?
"We must get rid of Lin Zhao as soon as possible. As long as this guy lives, countless people in the neighborhood will be implicated."
Wu Ming took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Rushing in now would only be suicide; it would be completely pointless.
"I'll lure those ice corpses away and send them all to Lin Zhao. I'm sure so many ice corpses will give Lin Zhao a real headache."
Wu Ming said with a serious expression.
His disgust for Lin Zhao had reached its limit.
