No sooner had I finished speaking than a tremendous force suddenly came from my neck.
A pair of hands suddenly twisted my head back.
That brute force made my cervical spine crack.
Human nature is truly wicked!
As the saying goes, I'm afraid my brother is suffering, but I'm also afraid he's driving a Land Rover.
These guys, seeing that they were trapped here with no way out, didn't even want me to get out.
The ugliness of human nature was laid bare at this moment.
When I realized someone was deliberately twisting my head, I didn't think twice and immediately pulled out the kitchen knife I used for self-defense.
Without turning his head, he waved his arms forcefully twice in the air.
"Who the hell touches me? I'll kill him!"
At this critical moment of life and death, since they want to harm me, I will naturally not show any mercy.
Sure enough, as soon as I got angry, those hands that were gripping my clothes and head tightly instantly let go.
A trembling voice sounded from behind: "Big brother, don't... don't be impulsive!"
"Yes, yes, let's talk this out. None of us can get out now. You can't be so selfish and leave by yourself!"
“I know you definitely have a way to get us out of here, right? I… I don’t want to stay here.”
Am I selfish?
I was so angry I laughed. I said, "What did Master Yuan tell you before he left? And I repeatedly told you not to look back, but you ignored me? Now that something's happened, you're blaming me? This is all your own fault!"
After I finished speaking, I started to walk forward.
He had only taken two steps when someone in the crowd suddenly shouted at the top of their lungs.
"Grab him! I just saw him scattering things nearby. He definitely knows how to get out, he's just not taking us with him!"
Immediately afterwards, another voice echoed the sentiment.
"Yes, they deliberately left us here, wanting us to die with Ji Yunfei!"
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, and the more they talked, the more outrageous it became.
In the end, someone even shouted with certainty: "That's right, he, Yuan Ying, and Ji Fucai must have conspired to make us all be buried alive with Ji Yunfei to suppress her resentment, just like the emperors were buried alive with her in ancient times, making us, the living, be buried with her!"
"That's right. If it wasn't all pre-arranged, why would Master Yuan leave with those people? Couldn't he have waited for us to leave together?"
"That's right, now he's the only one who can get out. None of us can get out. Are you saying we're going to be buried with Ji Yunfei?"
"Grab him quickly! If he gets away, we'll never get out!"
Hearing these utterly absurd remarks, I had a bad feeling.
These people were so blinded by fear and despair that they actually believed these absurd claims.
I had just lifted my leg to run when suddenly my wrist was gripped tightly.
I jerked my arm around, brandishing the cleaver, and yelled at the top of my lungs, "Don't fucking come any closer, or I'll kill you all!"
At that moment, a voice filled with a sense of desperation rang out: "What's there to be afraid of? We're all going to die anyway, so let's not let him get away with it. We're going to die anyway, so let's fight him!"
Immediately afterwards, I heard several hurried footsteps behind me.
They actually charged towards me without any regard for their own safety.
When people are in dire straits, the beastly nature hidden deep within their hearts will completely erupt.
I was waving the cleaver, but I couldn't see who I was hitting. I just felt the blade cutting into flesh.
I thought I would scare them away, but they went crazy and kept charging towards me.
I dared not look back, for they attacked from behind again.
Soon, after injuring two people, I stumbled and was tackled to the ground from behind, and the cleaver in my hand was snatched away.
"You think you can run, you son of a bitch!"
"You said you wouldn't look? I'll make you turn your head!"
Immediately afterwards, a muddy shoe stomped hard on my face. I couldn't see who it was, but I felt a sharp pain on my face.
Then, someone grabbed my head tightly with both hands, forcefully turned it backward, and forced me to look back.
At this moment, my hands and feet were controlled, and with only my head, I was no match for the strength of these hands, so I was forced to turn my head.
The instant I turned my head, I instinctively closed my eyes.
But soon, two more hands reached out and forcibly pried open my eyelids.
I cursed inwardly, but the scene before me was unavoidable.
I saw two guys with injured arms, clutching their bleeding wounds, glaring at me with resentment in their eyes.
Meanwhile, Akai and the others who had been looking back were still spinning around in circles, their faces showing complete oblivion.
They may think they are moving forward, but they have no idea that they have lost their way.
Those people surrounded me, constantly taunting me: "Hmph, trying to run away? I'll let you run! If we're going to die, we'll all die together. Why should you be the only one to live!"
"That's right, you think you can escape? Nobody's leaving here alive today!"
Amidst these malicious shouts, an unprecedented power suddenly erupted within me.
I suddenly straightened my back and forcefully threw the person who was pressing down on me off.
Immediately afterwards, I raised my foot and kicked someone who was trying to get closer to control me again.
Taking advantage of the moment, I dashed towards the guy who was waving a cleaver, about to chop off my head.
I punched him hard in the chin.
He probably didn't expect me to be so fierce. When I fell to the ground, the kitchen knife in my hand also fell to the side with a "clatter".
I picked up the kitchen knife from the ground, glared at them with bloodshot eyes, and roared.
"You want me dead? Come on then, who the hell's afraid of who!"
Those who were just moments ago so aggressive were now terrified by my crazy actions.
Some picked up stones from the ground, while others grabbed carrying poles from the side, and carefully and slowly spread out in a fan shape, surrounding me.
"He's all alone, don't be afraid, let's all attack together!"
One of them suddenly threw the stone in his hand at me.
I dodged to the side, and the stone flew past my shoulder.
Immediately afterwards, another person swung a carrying pole and swept it horizontally toward my head.
I quickly used a kitchen knife to block.
The carrying pole collided with the kitchen knife, making a loud "clang" that made my arm go numb.
I seized the opportunity and kicked him in the knee.
He knelt down with a thud, and I took the opportunity to slash his arm with a kitchen knife.
"Ah, murder!"
He screamed in pain, dropped the carrying pole, and staggered backward, clutching his wound.
Just as I had knocked him to the ground and hadn't even had a chance to catch my breath, I suddenly felt a sharp gust of wind behind me.
Someone launched a sneak attack!
I was startled and turned around abruptly, raising the kitchen knife high in my hand and chopping it down from top to bottom.
At that moment, I had only one crazy thought in my mind—
If you don't want me to live, then we'll all die together!
However, when I turned around and swung the sword with the conviction that I was going to die, I found that there was no one behind me.
