Chapter 179 Pure Retribution Society
"Quick, there's hope!"
Someone shouted, and everyone snapped out of their daze and rushed towards the rooftop.
Upon seeing this, the blond-haired man also ran up to the rooftop.
Once everyone had evacuated from the stairwell, Meng Shiwan closed the iron door again, reinforced it with her metal-based superpower, and completely sealed the zombie horde inside.
Jiang Yuan looked at the group of people who had narrowly escaped death, slumped on the ground panting heavily, and was very puzzled.
"What are you doing locking yourselves in there? Don't you know how to break the lock?"
If they had arrived even a little later, none of these people would have survived.
At this point, everyone glared at the blond-haired man with hostility.
When Cao Yang thought of his fallen comrades, his eyes burned with rage as he looked at the blond-haired man.
He strode towards the blond-haired man, intending to give the beast a good beating.
The blond-haired man took two steps back, pointed his pistol at Cao Yang's head, and said, "Don't come any closer. If you take another step, I'll kill you."
Cao Yang abruptly stopped in his tracks, his eyes blazing with fury as he stared at the blond-haired man. "What exactly do you want? Your family was locked in the basement without food or water. We found you when we went out to collect supplies and brought you here, which is how you survived until now."
Now you want us all to die? You're an ingrate, a cold-blooded viper. We shouldn't have saved you in the first place.
Over the past two months, Cao Yang, along with his surviving colleagues, has managed to clear out a scavenger area within the security department's central area using the various weapons and equipment provided by the security department.
They were all soldiers who served the people before the end of the world.
Even after the apocalypse, they still uphold this ideal and continue to serve the people.
Cao Yang has always maintained contact with the seed base.
The seed base had previously said they could send someone to rescue them, but Cao Yang refused.
Cao Yang knew the situation in the central area; the number of zombies was terrifying, and even superhumans would find it difficult to break in.
In this situation, there is simply no way to rescue the survivors in the central area.
Cao Yang thought that since they were in the central area and the security department was well-equipped with weapons, they could use the security department as a base and use armored vehicles and other combat vehicles with strong defensive capabilities to rescue survivors in the surrounding area.
Gather all the survivors at the security department, and then have the seed base send people to rescue them all from the central area.
Cao Yang shared this plan with his colleagues, and after receiving their support, the seed base also agreed to his proposal.
The seed base also stated that if they encounter food shortages or are unable to withstand the zombie horde, they should promptly request help from the base, which will send personnel to rescue them immediately.
Over the past two months, Cao Yang and his team have completed their mission very well.
Set up an electric fence around the security department and raise the walls to prevent zombies from entering.
They drove armored vehicles, armed with weapons, to collect supplies and rescue people in the surrounding area.
In two months, some colleagues sacrificed their lives, and some faced life-or-death crises, but they all pulled through.
A total of 57 survivors were rescued.
After confirming that there were no living survivors in the vicinity, Cao Yang reported the situation at the security department to the seed base and asked the seed base to send someone to pick them up.
Because the security department had heavily armored vehicles, a considerable number of survivors, and an overwhelming number of zombies.
After careful consideration, the Seed Base decided to send Chu Jie and Hu Wenhao, two metal-type ability users, to clear the way. They could then drive various combat vehicles to take the survivors to the Seed Base.
Victory was in sight. They only needed to wait for the two metal-type ability users to clear the path before heading to the seed base, at which point they would be completely safe.
But at this critical moment, the zombies broke through the wall, and many survivors were unable to escape in time, resulting in heavy casualties.
The twenty or thirty survivors fled up the stairs, only to have the rooftop door locked by the blond-haired man, leaving them to die.
It even caused the deaths of two people.
How could they not be furious when they saw the blond-haired guy? They were so angry they felt like their lungs were about to explode.
If Huang Mao hadn't had a gun, they would have rushed up and shot him dead.
The angrier they got, the happier Huang Mao felt.
He let out a mournful and manic laugh, "Good riddance, you all deserve to die, you all deserve to die. It's all because of you that my wife and children died. I want you all to die too, to be buried with me."
A man in a floral shirt, enraged by the blond-haired man, stood up and pointed at the blond-haired man's head, cursing at him.
"Are you out of your mind? If Captain Cao hadn't led his men to rescue you from the basement, the three of you would have been rotting there long ago."
A soldier sacrificed his life to save you, and now you're saying such a thing?
Your wife and children died of illness, what does that have to do with us? Why should we be forced to die with them?
The blond-haired man glared with bloodshot eyes, pointing his pistol at the man in the floral shirt.
"You, you, what's in your pocket? Is it medicine? You guys clearly have medicine in your hands, and there are several other people too. I saw you secretly hiding medicine in your bags. Why didn't you take it out when my wife and children were sick?"
Those were two lives! You hid the medicine and didn't use it to treat my wife and children. You're the ones who killed them.
After the man in the floral shirt finished raging, he instantly calmed down when the blond-haired man pointed a gun at him, and cold sweat poured out of his body.
He was genuinely afraid that this lunatic might suddenly lose his mind and shoot him.
But listening to Huang Mao's unreasonable words, he got so angry that his liver hurt. "I have vitamins in my pocket. Your wife and children have heatstroke. Do you think taking vitamins will make them better?"
He pulled a small white bottle out of his pocket and showed it to him; it contained vitamin B.
Others echoed this sentiment.
"Yes, yes, when your wife and children first arrived, a doctor examined them and found they had heatstroke, which is incurable with our current medical conditions. How can you blame us?"
"We wanted to save them too, but we simply didn't have the resources. How can you blame it on us?"
"Your wife and children died, what does that have to do with us? Why should we be made to die with them?"
To everyone's surprise, the blond-haired man became even angrier, shouting, "Shut up! All of you, shut up!"
"You all deserve to die anyway. Before the apocalypse, I was a deliveryman, and you people were all high and mighty, constantly complaining about me and docking my wages. I've been fed up with you for a long time, so now none of you should live."
After Huang Mao finished speaking, he tightened his fingers, as if he wanted to blow these people up.
With lightning speed, Jiang Yuan swung a wind blade, smashing the pistol out of Huang Mao's hand, but his hand was also cut and bleeding profusely by the wind blade.
Meng Shiwan stood to the side and listened for a while. She finally understood that this blond guy was nothing but a vengeful person.
He was delivering packages before the apocalypse, and he kept getting complaints and having his wages docked, so he was already dissatisfied with the people in this area.
After the apocalypse, his wife and children died of heatstroke, and he completely broke down, wanting to drag a group of people down with him.
These people are unlucky; they barely survived, only to run into such a lunatic.
