Niu Dehong wasn't stupid. He connected the dots with Lin Zhao's situation and immediately understood something.
Qin Bai is also a superhuman!
Niu Dehong knew very well that he was second only to Lin Zhao. Once Lin Zhao died, he would definitely be finished as well, since someone had to take the blame for this incident.
If he stays here any longer, he'll be doomed sooner or later!
Thinking of this, Niu Dehong quickly slipped into the store when no one was paying attention to him and found a small box somewhere.
This is the crystal they dug out of the ice corpse's head. Lin Zhao became a superhuman after eating this, and Niu Dehong thought he might be able to too.
After getting the items, he quickly grabbed some food and slipped away.
As for what happened afterward, it had nothing to do with him.
"The boss isn't dead, he was just cut in half at the waist!"
When one of the henchmen saw Lin Zhao's miserable state, he immediately threw down his weapon and cried out in pain.
One by one, the others also laid down their weapons and squatted on the ground to surrender.
If Lin Zhao were still alive, they would be willing to continue fighting, but Lin Zhao was cut in half at the waist, and death was not far off.
In this situation, who would be so foolish as to fight to the death?
The longest they followed Lin Zhao was about a month, and the shortest was less than a week.
To say he was absolutely loyal would be impossible, but he did have at least a basic level of loyalty.
However, this loyalty is meaningless when Lin Zhao is about to die.
In an instant, Lin Zhao's underlings squatted on the ground in surrender, and only Lin Zhao's continuous screams could be heard in the arena.
Lin Zhao struggled, trying to reconnect her two bodies, but how could her severed waist be joined together?
The low temperature even caused the broken area to freeze, which also numbed his sense of pain.
Lin Zhao could no longer feel the pain, and he actually shouted at his underlings, "What are you all still squatting on the ground for? Come and help me straighten up. I'm not in pain anymore, and I'll recover soon!"
However, his underlings remained silent, all thinking that Lin Zhao had gone mad.
"I have superpowers, I'm sure I can come back to life, I won't die, how could I die..."
Lin Zhao rambled on and on, spouting a bunch of nonsensical things, and his face was rapidly turning pale, a sign of severe bleeding.
Finally, he stopped moving, but his eyes remained open.
However, Qin Bai did not stop there. The ice blade in his hand had not disappeared. He slashed down with the blade, causing Lin Zhao's head to fall off.
It seems that only headless corpses can avoid becoming ice corpses. If Lin Zhao, an ability user, were to become an ice corpse, I wonder how powerful he would be.
Qin Bai had no desire to try it himself, so naturally he wouldn't give Lin Zhao that opportunity.
After completely eliminating the troublesome Lin Zhao, Qin Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
If Lin Zhao were given enough time, he might actually kill himself.
After all, the little guy's special ability doesn't yet have much power.
Even when Lin Zhao attacked him and struck the ice block in front of him, it was something he had learned from the Ice Corpse.
Since the little guy's special ability is to create ice, can he create ice on his own body, just like the Ice Corpse?
Qin Bai tried it secretly and succeeded.
As he increases the force he applies, the thickness of the ice block also increases.
It can be said that the little guy's special ability played a significant role in his victory over Lin Zhao this time.
"Okay, when we get back, I'll get him some good formula and some toys."
Qin Bai thought to himself silently.
"Qin Bai, what you're holding is... ice? Does that mean you've also become a superhuman like Lin Zhao?"
Wu Ming walked over, looking at the ice blade in Qin Bai's hand with a shocked expression.
"Brother Qin, you scared me to death just now! I really thought..."
Zeng Qiangguo also came over, looking terrified.
"Perhaps he suddenly awakened during a life-or-death situation, and that's how he gained superpowers."
Qin Bai said casually.
He couldn't very well tell them the truth, so he figured it was better to let them misunderstand.
"Now that Lin Zhao is dead, what should be done with those people?"
Wu Ming pointed to the people squatting on the ground with their hands covering their heads and said.
Wu Ming was also a bit troubled. These people had indeed done a lot of bad things following Lin Zhao.
But the mastermind is Lin Zhao; they are just a bunch of underlings. If we kill them like this, their last stand will surely take many people with them.
But even letting them go like that was something Wu Ming couldn't get over in his own heart.
After all, they did infringe on other people's interests, and some of them even did things that could land them in jail!
"If it's just about following orders and taking other people's supplies, they can be allowed to atone for their crimes through meritorious service. But those who have done other things should be killed outright."
Qin Bai is intolerant of any wrongdoing. If Lin Zhao could do something like forcing women into prostitution, then there must be similar situations among his underlings.
"Make them testify against each other, and don't let them say anything reckless. If anyone says anything reckless, they will be killed."
If you let everyone tell you their own story, they're bound to lie.
But when it comes to testifying against others, no one dares to lie.
After all, everyone is together, and those around you know your situation; there's no way to escape it.
What followed was a blame game.
Someone committed rape against a woman; kill them!
If someone has abused or even killed someone, kill them!
He embezzled some supplies in private, so he wasn't killed. But Qin Bai directly cut off one of the man's arms, then found an ice corpse and sent it over.
This is worse than death.
After such accusations, less than half of Lin Zhao's younger brother's followers were still alive.
Just then, one of the henchmen seemed to have discovered something.
"The second-in-command has disappeared!"
Second-in-command?
After a moment's thought, Qin Bai immediately thought of someone.
Niu Dehong is the second-in-command of Lin Zhao's faction!
Has anyone seen him?
The heads of the dead on the ground had all been cut off, but Niu Dehong was not among them.
“I think I saw, boss… no, when Lin Zhao was cut in half at the waist, someone ran into the store, and then I don’t know what happened.”
Clearly, Niu Dehong realized the situation was bad and quickly ran away.
But if you go out alone on this dark night, you could easily die at the hands of the Ice Corpse.
The escape of Niu Dehong has no impact on Qin Bai, as long as Lin Zhao is dead.
"Next, what you need to do is find a way to compensate the residents of the community you have hurt, or you could try leaving the community."
"Anyone who disobeys in this neighborhood will suffer the same fate as Lin Zhao!"
Qin Bai swung his right hand, and the ice blade left a deep mark on the ground.
