The ghouls' attack on the school naturally attracted the attention of the Supernatural Countermeasures Headquarters. Fortunately, thanks to Sayu's timely judgment, no students were taken hostage - after all, from a political point of view, this was a very serious situation.
If a group of ghouls really kidnapped students as hostages, and then widely publicized their existence and cannibalism in a live broadcast, social unrest and government accountability would be inevitable. The Supernatural Countermeasures Headquarters would probably be implicated, but fortunately, Sayu released a smoke bomb at the time, so that most people in the school just thought the school was on fire. After that, Ida, who was notified by Fang Zheng, quickly led a team to seal off the school and secretly moved the corpses of the ghouls away.
It was announced to the outside world that the school had caught fire and the bodies that were taken away were victims of the fire, thus concealing the matter.
After this, the Supernatural Countermeasures Headquarters also intensified the search for the ghouls, determined to find their whereabouts and capture them all in one fell swoop!
But for Founder, these are not problems.
"Are you really going to act alone, Mr. Founder?"
Looking at Fang Zheng, who was wearing a black windbreaker, a tricorn hat, and a tricorn scarf, Sayu couldn't help but feel a little worried. They had already locked onto the location of the Bronze Tree's base camp, and Fang Zheng had also confirmed the date for their gathering. But just as Sayu was worried, according to the intelligence from the investigation, there were thousands of ghouls in this huge building.
"We should report this to Mr. Ida and ask him to send troops over, which would be safer..."
Although Sayu also thought it would be best to burn or blow up the entire building just like she did with the "restaurant" before, Fang Zheng rejected her idea. The reason why he was able to succeed easily in the previous times was that those buildings were full of humans, and Fang Zheng still had a way to sneak in.
But this is the base camp of the zombies. If they are discovered while sneaking in to plant the bomb, the only option is a head-on confrontation, so... Fang Zheng thinks there is no need to go through so much trouble and can just fight his way in directly.
If possible, he also hoped to solve it easily, such as throwing a ballistic missile or something... Unfortunately, it doesn't look that easy this time.
And where can you find ballistic missiles?
If it was in Lala's world, Fang Zheng could have stolen an American nuclear submarine to cause trouble, but forget about it now. The only weapon he had was an airship, and the concept of using an airship to drop bombs - this was like a dream back to World War II.
Or was it World War I?
"Humans are very dangerous creatures, Sayu."
Fang Zheng clenched the cane and swung it with force. The next moment, there was a "click" sound, and the originally smooth and neat cane instantly turned into a vicious weapon full of sharp teeth and blades.
"For them, anything that is not under their control is dangerous. I think you also know that to deal with ordinary ghouls, it takes a special combat brigade to make tragic sacrifices to solve it. But I can kill hundreds or thousands of ghouls by myself. So what do you think they will think of me when they know this?"
"Um... think of you as a hero?"
"Wrong, it's a monster."
Fang Zheng clenched his cane tightly and slammed it hard on the ground. Then with a "click", the original weapon turned into a cane again.
"Heroes and monsters are actually two sides of the same coin. It is because he can do things that ordinary people can't do that he can be called a hero. But on the other hand, can a person who can do things that ordinary people can't do still be considered a human being?"
"this……"
"Why do heroes wear masks? The reason is that they don't want to be regarded as monsters. Monsters called heroes and heroes called monsters are the same to humans. They will be eager to grasp this straw and use it to death. You see, when humans face the threat of dragons, they will need dragon-slaying warriors. However, when the dragon is killed by the warrior, their fear shifts from the dragon to the warrior, because the warrior who can kill even the dragon they fear so much obviously has more powerful power than the dragon."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng took out his pistol and loaded it with bullets.
"Humans have always been afraid of forces that are stronger than themselves. In ancient times, they would call them gods or demons, and either worship them or destroy them. But in the final analysis, they are all different from humans themselves. Just like ghouls - although now they are hunted by humans because they only eat humans. But even if these guys don't eat humans, nothing good will happen once they are discovered."
Having said that, Fang Zheng loaded the magazine.
"Because they are not human."
"But... Mr. Fang Zheng, if they don't eat humans, then they shouldn't be a threat."
"Really?"
Fang Zheng sneered.
"You have to remember, Sayu, what's important is not whether you think so, but whether others think so. When others believe that you are no longer human, then whether you are human or not is actually not important. The concept of any thing is given by other beings. If there is no such interaction, then the cognition itself has no value and meaning."
“…”
Facing Fang Zheng's words, Sayu nodded thoughtfully.
"Then the surveillance will remain the same. Thank you for your help."
"Don't worry, Mr. Fang Zheng. If there is anything unusual, I will inform you immediately."
At this moment, it is late at night.
Walking to the building in front of him, Fang Zheng raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky - he saw a blood moon hanging high in the night sky in the darkness, the bright red light illuminating the earth, and even the shadows seemed to sway under its illumination.
"What a great hunting day..."
Fang Zheng muttered to himself, then strode towards the building in front of him.
This is an unfinished building. In the 1990s, when the Japanese bubble economy burst, many newly built buildings were left idle because real estate developers went bankrupt. This building is one of them. Although it is unknown what this building was originally used for, it now seems that it has been used by the ghouls as their base.
"Hey, kid!"
Fang Zheng had just walked into the building when he saw a few young men wearing pullovers and dressed like gangsters walking towards him, blocking his way.
"This is not a place for people like you, get out of here now!"
"Look at what he's wearing. Hahahaha. How funny. Is this a movie?"
A group of people blocked Fang Zheng and began to mock him. However, Fang Zheng certainly would not waste time talking to them. He just snorted coldly and slammed the cane in his right hand to the ground!
“——!”
The next moment, Fang Zheng saw the heads of the gangsters in front of him being cut in half, with the upper half of their skulls flying into the sky. Only their tongues were still lying in their teeth, trembling instinctively and making a whining sound. Then, the bodies with their heads split in half fell backwards to the ground.
When dealing with these ghouls, Fang Zheng always shoots them in the head, because ghouls have a strong regeneration ability. Even if you cut off their heads, it will be useless. They can just sew them back together and continue to use them. So the best way is to completely destroy the brain. Once the brain is gone, the ghoul is useless.
Of course, it's not impossible to hit the heart, but the heart is too wide, and if you're unlucky and meet someone with his heart on the right side, you'll be pretending to be an idiot - you see many protagonists in martial arts novels avoided the villain's fatal blow just because their heart is on the right side, so these villains, it would be better to just chop off their heads, but they have to pretend to be cool and hit the heart, and the result is that they are overturned by the protagonist.
Of course, Fang Zheng is not a villain. As a paladin, it is natural for him to hunt zombies, but wouldn’t it be more convenient to just chop off their brains?
"You...!! How dare you!!"
Seeing their companions being killed instantly, the zombies behind them could not help but rush forward. Tentacles emerged from their backs or shoulders and shot directly towards Fang Zheng.
Facing the attacks of these zombies, Fang Zheng was not in a hurry. He just dodged backwards, raised his left hand, and then gunshots rang out.
“Bang, bang, bang!!”
Along with the sound of gunfire, the zombies with their fangs and claws bared suddenly felt their bodies soften, and then fell to the ground. Then, before they could react, with a flash of cold light, the skulls of these zombies were neatly cut open, and they soon turned into corpses.
"A bunch of trash."
After glancing coldly at the corpses, Fang Zheng continued walking forward.
After all, there are still many zombies to kill.
Fang Zheng's invasion naturally alarmed the many ghouls in the bronze tree. At first, they were quite angry. How could a mere human, their food, dare to come here alone to die? Isn't this just courting death? !
If it was an army coming, they might choose to retreat, but you dare to send off a mere human being?
You really look down on us ghouls!!!
So the ghouls were furious and rushed forward one by one, vowing to cut the damned human into pieces and then eat him raw with soy sauce!!
but……
"Bang!!!"
As the gunshots rang out again, a burly man suddenly fell in front of Fang Zheng as if he had lost his strength. Then Fang Zheng picked up his cane without hesitation and stabbed it directly into his eyes. The black cane went straight through the man's head. Then the man's body trembled and then he became limp and unresponsive. Fang Zheng pulled out his cane and stepped on the man's head, instantly crushing the man's head into pieces.
Seeing this scene, the zombies around also turned pale.
"It's a lie, it's a lie, even that gecko..."
Looking at the headless corpse in front of them, the ghouls beside them trembled all over. You should know that the big man in front of them was not an ordinary ghoul, but a senior cadre of the Bronze Tree, codenamed Gecko. He was cruel by nature, and even ordinary ghouls were afraid of him. But this guy who was cruel and terrifying by nature, and boasted in front of Fang Zheng that he would torture him to death, was killed by the other party just after he showed his true identity!
What kind of monster is this!
Seeing Fang Zheng stepping on the skull fragments, the ghouls felt a chill in their hearts. They had always looked down on humans because, to them, humans were just food, and they were indeed vulnerable in front of them. In fact, the ghouls who joined the Bronze Tree basically just regarded humans as livestock.
But now, when they saw humans killing zombies as easily as livestock, they finally experienced the fear felt by the humans they hunted.
“Brother, brother! How dare you kill me!!!!”
However, it was not without its head. Soon, another ghoul roared angrily and rushed out, pouncing towards Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng didn't even look at him, but just swung his hand, and then the ghoul was split directly from head to tail, splitting into two.
Who, who is this guy?
Seeing this, the other ghouls were so scared that they could no longer walk. They looked at Fang Zheng with fear in their eyes. To be honest, they would rather it was a ghoul that came in at this moment. In this way, no matter how powerful he was, they would be able to accept it.
But, a human?
How could a human kill a gecko so easily? Kill hundreds of ghouls?
What the hell is he?!
"You bugs are totally vulnerable."
Fang Zheng slowly glanced at the zombies around him and snorted coldly.
"Where is the One-Eyed King? Let him come out and die, or I will kill you all - oh, never mind, you will all die here anyway!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Zheng suddenly flashed, and then a dark shadow suddenly exploded like a snake, turning into a whirlwind and spreading in all directions. The ghouls didn't even have time to react before they were torn into pieces by the sword energy, screaming and falling to the ground and dying.
"ah--!"
A young girl fell to the ground screaming. She turned around and tried to stand up to escape from this hell, but the next moment, the broken cane wrapped around her legs like a whip. Then, under the pull of a huge force, the girl was thrown into the air screaming, and then fell heavily to the ground. Before she could get up, the black, blood-stained cane fell from above and pierced through the girl's skull, nailing her to the ground.
“Stop it!!”
However, at this moment, a voice sounded. Fang Zheng looked up and saw a young man with blue hair standing there, looking at Fang Zheng angrily. Behind him, wing-like tentacles spread out, emitting a bright red light.
"What on earth do you want to do?!"
"It's simple. Kill all of you."
Fang Zheng replied calmly, and upon hearing this, the blue-haired young man clenched his fists in anger.
"Why? Is it because we eat humans? So what? Don't humans also eat animals? And don't humans also kill each other? Since humans can eat animals, what's wrong with us eating humans?"
"I didn't say you were wrong."
Fang Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I know. This is your way of life. You can only survive by eating humans. This is determined by your physical constitution."
"In that case, then..."
"But what does this have to do with me killing you?"
As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised the sword cane in his hand and slammed it hard on the ground.
"Humans eat animals, and you eat humans, so there's nothing wrong with me killing you."
At this point, Fang Zheng's voice turned cold.
"All goblins must die, and so must ghouls."
The next moment, as Fang Zheng finished speaking, his cane suddenly turned into a black shadow and swung towards the blue-haired man!
