The sentries on the wall had already noticed them and were pointing and whispering at Veranika.
Their gazes were all fixed on Veranica's curvaceous figure, their eyes gleaming with lewd light.
"Little Six," a red-haired man led a group of men up the wall, laughing loudly, "This chick has a nice figure! Boss found a new woman again? Tell her to take off her mask and let me see!"
The young man, nicknamed Xiao Liuzi, felt his legs go weak and almost collapsed to his knees.
He feared that these people's gazes and words would once again provoke the killing god beside him.
He was killed as well.
Veronica asked casually, "Who are the bad ones?"
"That...that red-haired guy is our third leader...also a Newtype...very ruthless..." Xiao Liu stammered, "And...and the ones next to him, they were all pretty bad too. Besides them...you killed all the other ruthless ones..."
Veranica's lips curled into a cold smile.
She knew what Xiao Liuzi meant by "quite ruthless".
The leader of this group, the burly man she killed, was named Li Biao.
He was a local bully before the disaster.
He goes to the police station as often as he goes to his own home.
He idled away his days, yet was extremely fierce, leaving the entire village afraid to speak out against him.
After the disaster, he used his ferocity to lead a few survivors to kill all the zombies in the village.
Later, Li Biao became an evolved being.
Continue to strengthen our capabilities.
The most outrageous thing happened: the carcass of a giant bird fell from the sky and landed right in the village.
Li Biao then consumed the energy essence from the giant bird's brain and became a level two evolver.
They also obtained eight level-two bird claw blades and level-two bird skins, as well as a large amount of evolved beast meat.
It can be said that Li Biao was extremely lucky.
It was so good that even Vera was somewhat amazed.
Unfortunately, he was too foolish.
They had a great start, but after more than a year, they still only have this few people.
The fact that he referred to his territory as a "village" shows that he subscribed to the bandit code.
Moreover, he has a clear tendency towards violence.
He frequently beats, scolds, and abuses those he dislikes.
Those who were wealthy or cultured before the disaster suffered inhuman abuse at his hands.
Many of them died directly from abuse.
In the year or so since the young people joined, the place has taken in or forcibly taken in more than 800 survivors.
But now there are less than two hundred people left.
The fate of the remaining six hundred-plus people is easy to imagine.
Here, those who do well are all like-minded people of Li Biao's.
Those who retain their humanity are either slowly assimilated.
Either you have to endure the mistreatment and live each day in fear and trembling.
Of course, the women are the ones who suffer the most here.
Apart from a few women exclusively owned by the new humans, all the other women became public property.
Besides working every day, they also had to endure all sorts of insults from these people.
Veranika tightened the leather backpack on her back, inside which was the sleeping golden eagle.
After it has eaten and drunk its fill, it always likes to sleep.
Veranica then flashed and leaped onto the four- or five-meter-high wall.
"You?!" Before the red-haired man could react, he felt a chill on his neck.
At the same time, the men next to him all had their necks severed.
Amidst the splatter of blood, Veronica's figure flashed by like a ghost, weaving between the walls and the watchtower.
With each flash, a thug died.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Finally, someone reacted and sounded the alarm.
The village was thrown into chaos.
Many people who were originally working on the open ground all ran into the various houses.
At the same time, dozens of armed rioters rushed out from various buildings.
Before they could even spot the enemy, Veranika had already leaped off the city wall and dashed toward them.
Meanwhile, atop a giant tree in the village, someone was firing a gun at Veranika.
But she merely looked up at the giant tree with a cold gaze, completely disregarding the bullets being fired at her.
Her figure still moved about like a ghost.
In just a few minutes, Veranika wiped out all the armed thugs inside the city walls and villages.
After doing all this, she made a few leaps and jumped directly onto the giant tree using the footholds that had already been installed on it.
Shortly afterward, two headless corpses fell to the ground.
When Veronica jumped down, Xiao Liuzi walked over timidly and said cautiously, "Sir, all of our accomplices have been killed by you, not one is left. The ones who are left are the ones who were bullied."
Veronica took out a towel and wiped the alligator snapping turtle's claws, saying calmly, "Call out all the survivors."
Xiao Liuzi hurriedly knocked on the doors of each room, repeatedly shouting, "Come out quickly! Don't be afraid, everyone, the adults have come to save you!"
Soon, nearly a hundred ragged women and several thin men were led to an open space.
They stared blankly at the corpses scattered on the ground.
Many people still had disbelief in their eyes, and a strange look in them.
It was like the joy of getting revenge.
Veronica glanced around and said casually, "Is this all here?"
Xiao Liu shook his head and said in fear, "There's another woman who's been locked up by the chieftain... She's an evolved being, and I don't dare release her. If I do, she'll definitely tear me to pieces."
Veranica looked at the group of survivors and said calmly, "You are free. This village will belong to you from now on."
The survivors stood frozen in the open space, seemingly unable to understand Veranika's words.
The wind, carrying the stench of blood, swept past their tattered clothes, and some began to shiver—not from the cold, but from the fear that had been suppressed for so long and was suddenly released.
“Freedom…?” a girl with dreadlocks murmured, repeating the same phrase. The gruesome burn scar above her right eye gleamed red in the sunlight.
Suddenly, a heart-wrenching cry erupted from the crowd.
A woman, emaciated beyond recognition, lunged at the nearest corpse, frantically scratching at the face that had haunted her nightmares with her broken fingernails.
“You beast! You’ve finally met your match!” she roared, until her fingernails were filled with blood and flesh.
It's like opening a floodgate.
The crowd surged toward the corpses like a tidal wave; some stabbed them with sticks, while others picked up stones and threw them.
Many more simply knelt in pools of blood, wailing and crying.
Veranika watched this belated trial silently, her expression hidden behind the mask.
Xiao Liu hid behind Veranika, shrinking his neck, watching these people who had once been humiliated and driven by them now venting their hatred in various ways.
He swallowed hard and said cautiously, "Sir, the cellar is behind the granary..."
Veronica asked casually, "What about the woman who was locked up?"
