"Since you all want to go out and die, fine! I'll grant your wish." Jin Hu spoke loudly enough for everyone in the room to hear, but his expression remained extremely calm.
Ah Feng, Ah Wei, and the others thought that Jin Hu would really send them out, so they all stood up, planning to rush out and fight the monsters outside when Jin Hu opened the metal wall standing at the door.
To avoid attacks from the spiked monsters, all the windows in their staff dormitory were completely covered, leaving only round vents for ventilation.
Ah Feng and the others were filled with excitement at finally being able to go out and fight, and never thought that anyone would dislike escaping from here.
The dim environment blocked Jin Hu's sinister gaze, and five extremely tiny golden needles gathered in his hand.
The metal wall blocking the door was finally removed.
The dormitory door had long been pierced by the spiked monsters outside, leaving several large holes. Large swaths of blinding white light shot into the dark room through the holes, making Ah Feng and the others unable to open their eyes due to the sudden increase in sunlight.
“Ah! It hurts.”
Just as everyone's attention was focused on the sunlight outside the gate, someone was shot in the chest by a golden needle from Jin Hu's sneak attack.
The golden needles pierced his lungs. After a painful cry, he clutched the barely noticeable hole in his chest and slowly collapsed to the ground, gradually ceasing to breathe.
Ah Feng and the others were also hit by Jin Hu's golden needles, but because Jin Hu's aim was poor, only three were hit in vital areas and died completely. The remaining dozen or so people were only slightly injured by the needles and were barely able to survive.
"Jin Hu, even if you're willing to go out, you don't have to kill us like this!" someone asked, puzzled.
“If we can really defeat the spiked monsters outside, wouldn’t you people who are unwilling to go out and are stubbornly guarding the place be able to sit back and reap the benefits?”
Those who stood beside Jin Hu and remained steadfast in their opinions were stunned by Jin Hu's actions.
“That’s right, Brother Jin. If these people go out, it will reduce our food consumption. If we can kill one or two monsters, it will also benefit us. Why kill them?”
This person wasn't actually saddened by the deaths, but sighed and said, "If you keep wasting your power like this, how will you continue building the metal wall to protect everyone later?"
"We really made the mistake of following you!"
The cold wind outside blew into the dark and gloomy little house. Jin Hu felt the biting cold wind blowing into the house through the hole in the door panel, which was level with the back of his hand.
Jin Hu flipped his hand over, caught the cold wind in his palm, clenched it, and ended up with an empty fist. A cold smile instantly appeared on his lips as he looked at the man who, like him, was prepared to defend to the death.
A golden blade materialized in his hand and immediately struck the man's neck. With a whoosh, a large spurt of blood erupted from the man's neck.
"Jin Hu, are you crazy? We're on your side, and you're going to kill us too?" The others standing next to him screamed in alarm and quickly used their superpowers to fight back.
Fireballs, vine nets, ice spikes, and all sorts of other supernatural abilities erupt from the human body.
In the past, people fought with physical strength and weapons, with every punch landing and every slash drawing blood. Now, people fight with superpowers, sometimes killing someone without seeing any bloodshed.
With multiple people against one person, Jin Hu had absolutely no chance of winning; he brought this upon himself!
The small coal mine dormitory couldn't possibly withstand so many supernatural abilities, and eventually it exploded.
"Aaaaaah! We're doomed! This shelter has blown up! We're all going to become food for the spiked monsters!"
After the shelter exploded, those who didn't want to leave screamed when they saw large swaths of ice and snow.
However, they hadn't been yelling for long when they noticed something was wrong.
"Where are those spike monsters?" Awei asked in surprise, clutching his severed arm. He was so shocked that he ignored the excruciating pain in his arm.
"That dark thing lying on the ground over there looks like the Spiked Monster," said one of the vision enhancers, who could see farther and more clearly than the others, pointing to a small patch of dark things in the distance.
"Could those three people have really defeated these spiked monsters? But where are they?" Awei asked.
No one answered Awei's question. Regardless of who those people were, whether they were alive or dead, as long as these man-eating monsters were dead and could no longer threaten their lives, that was fine.
These people, who had been trapped in the dark room for many days, ignored the stinging pain from their wounds and the biting cold wind around them, and cheered quietly, celebrating that they were still alive and would see the light of day again.
"Brother, I told you, we shouldn't have listened to that crazy guy surnamed Jin and kept hiding inside." Ah Feng said with a smile to the person next to her, as usual.
But when no one responded, Ah Feng immediately sensed something was wrong and turned around to look. She saw her brother lying in the snow, clutching his neck. Bright red blood stained the snow beneath him, a blinding red stain.
"Brother!" Ah Feng cried out in fright, quickly crouching down to cover her brother's neck, tears instantly streaming down her face.
While clutching her brother's wound, she cried and looked around at the people, "Do you have any hemostatic medicine? My brother is injured, please save him."
Everyone she looked at covered their pockets and shook their heads repeatedly.
"Ah Feng, looking at the amount of blood your brother is bleeding, he's definitely beyond saving."
"Bullshit, my brother won't die!" Ah Feng roared.
“Ah Feng… don’t yell at others. I won’t be able to protect you anymore. You… remember, after the apocalypse, speak less and don’t offend others. Never act impulsively and try to be an inconspicuous person.”
"No, brother, you won't die. I'll listen to you from now on. Hang in there!" Ah Feng covered her brother's neck and cried bitterly. Her face, covered in coal dust, was wet with tears, revealing patches of white skin.
"You've grown up, and I just hope you can live a little longer." The man lying on the ground was pale and cold. He reached out his blood-stained fingers to wipe away Ah Feng's tears.
In the apocalypse, death is commonplace. In such a tragic scene, everyone just watched quietly and numbly, with little emotional reaction.
Crunch, crunch!
In the distance, the sound of footsteps breaking through the deep snow could be heard.
A huge crowd of people and furry animals crossed over from the other side of the snow.
After Gu Mingyue and her two companions dealt with the dozen or so spiked monsters, Gu Mingyue used her mental detection to find that there weren't many people in the staff dormitory, and the highest level of superpowers they had was only at the early stage of level three.
Knowing that these people were not threatened, he took Li Zhong and the other two back to the team and called everyone over to discuss the coal mine operation.
Unexpectedly, when she returned, the doors, windows, and roof of the staff cabin that hadn't been breached by the spiked monster had spontaneously exploded.
Several people covered in coal dust stood on the snow, with several wounded lying in the red snow beside them.
At first, Ah Wei and the others only knew that there were three new superhumans outside the house.
Now, looking up, wow, there was a huge army of several hundred people and mutated animals!
