Chapter 119 The snake's tail coiled around her ankle...
Chu Liuxing replied with a smile, "Of course we'll kill them all. We don't have enough resources to feed them right now."
Wu Chuyu shuddered and quickly averted her gaze, hiding behind Shan Ran and trembling.
Seeing her expression, Chu Liuxing wanted to tease her, so he walked over and stood in front of Wu Chuyu, "kindly" comforting her: "Miss Wu, don't be afraid. You haven't done anything wrong. We are very kind to ordinary people."
Wu Chuyu shrank her neck even more, clutching Shan Ran's clothes tightly, afraid that they would discover that she and Shan Ran had deliberately lured people here.
Shan Ran patted Xiao Wu's hand, signaling her not to be nervous. She looked up and saw a fleeting hint of mockery in Chu Liuxing's eyes.
"How do you define 'bad deeds'? Is it based on your likes and dislikes, or on the standards of past crimes?"
Chu Liuxing was clearly taken aback by the girl's sudden question. His smile froze, and after a moment's thought, he replied, "We will take previous sentencing into account to some extent, but we will definitely have to base it on the actual circumstances."
He avoided discussing his likes and dislikes, neither confirming nor denying them.
"But many people have blood on their hands now, and have taken lives. If two people fight over food resources and one dies, will the other be sentenced to death?"
"Ah...this..."
“There is indeed no clear standard for sentencing now,” Kunwu Yecheng, who had been listening for an unknown amount of time, stepped forward. “But one thing is certain: if someone has sufficient resources and only wants to satisfy their own selfish desires by harming innocent civilians who are unable to fight back, we will definitely deal with them.”
Captain Kunwu, who emerged from the shadows, carried the lingering scent of blood. His features were sharp, yet his gaze remained calm.
"Here you go. The axe you're holding has a chip, and the handle is loose. You'll find a better weapon to use."
He handed over a medium-length tactical knife, which Shan Ran took and drew from its sheath.
The blade was sharp, and a cold glint flashed across it.
Shan Ran weighed it in her hand; it was slightly heavy, but still lighter than an axe and easier to carry.
She beamed with joy and sincerely thanked him.
Seeing that the girl really liked it, Kunwu Yecheng smiled as well.
His expression changed very subtly, and Shan Ran didn't notice it. However, Chu Liuxing, who spent every day with the captain, certainly didn't miss it and opened his eyes wide in astonishment.
The teammates behind him brought down a group of people, both men and women.
Most of them were not in good mental condition, some had even fainted, and some team members were carrying them on their backs.
They bore the marks of torture and abuse; those people upstairs were even more dangerous and terrifying than Rhine had described.
Shan Ran recognized several familiar faces among them.
The other party also saw Shan Ran. They were stunned at first, and then they started cursing, using extremely offensive language.
Shan Ran stared blankly at the group, noticing their torn clothes and their contorted, shameful expressions.
She raised an eyebrow, ignoring the insults, and instead grinned.
"Sir, sir! It's her! She tricked us into coming here by saying there were supplies, and then ran away. She's the one who killed us! She just wanted to take our supplies! Kill them both!"
The group struggled to rush towards Kunwu Yecheng, but were stopped by their teammates.
Kunwu Yecheng did not turn around: "We will give you an explanation after the matter is investigated."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiwen and the others finally quieted down a bit.
The half hour or so they spent upstairs just now was the most painful and unbearable day they had ever experienced.
They were actually... were...
Lin Qiwen lowered his head, his anger burning in his heart, almost making him vomit blood.
He scanned everyone present one by one.
These people all know what he went through today.
He must become stronger, even stronger, and once he stands on high ground, he will silence everyone who knows what happened to him today!
The vehicle drove directly to the villa's entrance.
After getting off the car, Shanran led Kunwu Yecheng straight into the house.
Lin Qiwen and the others originally planned to settle accounts with Shan Ran after the team left, but they never expected them to do this, and he panicked immediately.
"What are you doing? You're trespassing!"
Maxim's broad and burly body stood in front of them like a wall.
Chu Liuxing's smile had vanished: "A private residence? Even if it is, it belongs to Miss Shan. What does it have to do with you?"
"I....."
Rong Shuyao's injuries had almost healed. When she heard a noise outside and got up to go downstairs, she found Shan Ran and several strange men walking in.
She timidly sized up the group, then looked at Shanran, "Xiaoran, who...who are they?"
Shan Ran glanced at her, but didn't answer. Instead, she walked straight downstairs.
Rong Shuyao's first reaction was to step forward and stop them, but when her eyes fell on the men, she shrank back.
The door to the room in the far corner of the basement was opened, and when a flashlight was shone into it, several wads of cloth inside shifted slightly.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that what appeared to be a wad of cloth was actually several girls huddled in a corner.
Kunwu Yecheng took out a walkie-talkie and arranged for a team to come in and take the men away. At the same time, he told Chu Liuxing to keep a close eye on the men they had just brought back.
When they went up, Lin Qiwen and the others were struggling.
"Sir! Why are you detaining us! Just because you have weapons, does that mean you can do whatever you want and bully us? Is this how the District Chief of District 1 sets the example?"
The shouts of the group were so loud that they attracted the attention of other survivors in the villa area who came out to watch out of curiosity.
"Oh~ You didn't come to help when the apocalypse came, and you didn't even give us ordinary people any food or drink when we were short of it. Now that you see we have something, you come to rob us, huh?"
A highly penetrating voice rang out, containing a rudimentary supernatural ability. The speaker was quite far away, yet the voice was so clear, clearly indicating a person with a voice-based supernatural ability.
The person speaking is holding a phone, zooming in, and filming a video directly in this direction.
Shan Ran was unaware of what had happened, but Kunwu Yecheng saw it all clearly.
Noticing the man's strange expression, Shanran asked, "What happened?"
"It's alright, don't worry about it."
Unlike the dark and enclosed shopping mall, the villa area was not a convenient place for executions, so the Kunwu team decided to take these people out with them.
"That's right!" Shan Ran suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Rong Shuyao since she came out of the basement!
Although she did not participate in the persecution, Lin Qiwen and others certainly would not have done so without her approval.
When Shan Ran ran back into the house, she found that Rong Shuyao had already escaped through the window, and Alfred, who hadn't left the house that day, had left with her.
The injured Du Cheng was left in the room; we'll take him back with us now.
Before leaving, Kunwu Yecheng left his contact information.
"Miss Shan, thank you so much for this operation."
Shan Ran waved her hand: "Not at all, Captain Kunwu, you're too kind. I should be thanking you this time."
The other party helped her solve her biggest problem, and her attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, becoming polite and gentle.
She searched the house for a long time, but could only find a bag of food to give to Kunwu Yecheng.
"Captain Kunwu, they've squandered all the stuff I stockpiled before. This is what I recently collected. It's not much, but it's a token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
With a smile playing on his lips beneath the tactical mask, the captain accepted the food in the simple plastic bag: "Okay, I'll take it. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions later."
"Miss Shan, see you next time~" Chu Liuxing said goodbye to Shan Ran with a smile.
See you next time.
Gano returned only after the Kunwu squad had all left.
Shanran asked in confusion, "Gano, why are you only coming back now?" She remembered telling him a long time ago that he didn't need to pick her up.
Gano's ears turned bright red. He wanted to call out to his brother to answer, but the voice in his head was pretending to be dead.
He wouldn't lie to his senior, so he answered honestly, "I can't drive, I've never learned. That car crashed, and the noise attracted a lot of monsters. I walked back the rest of the way."
"...Then why didn't you say you couldn't drive last night?"
"If my senior tells me to go, I'll go. Even if I don't know how, I can learn to drive."
Yamaran: .......
Gano's expression was so sincere that it reminded Shanran of the stray dogs she used to feed by the roadside.
Although he was actually a small snake, a beautiful little snake with a red tip on its tail.
Thinking of this, Shanran asked curiously, "How many parts of your body can turn into snakes right now?"
Most people are currently at the G-level, and those with Zoan-type abilities can generally only transform one part of their body into an animal.
The higher the level, the more parts of the animal can be transformed.
However, snakes are long and narrow animals, and Shan Ran's understanding of their organ structure is very vague; he only knows that they have a head, body, and tail.
They also lack limbs; most people who become animals start with having limbs.
How can a snake transform?
Just as I came to my senses, I found that Gano was already taking off his pants.
"No... Gano, you..."
Shan Ran quickly turned around, her eyes darting around, unsure of where to look.
"Senior, it's done."
"Are you... are you wearing your pants?"
"No need to wear pants."
"......."
Shanran was about to say something when she suddenly felt something cool touch her calf.
Looking down, I saw a red, pointed thing wrapping around her ankle.
The scales lay obediently against the skin, and the texture wasn't as hard as I'd imagined. The snake's tail moved very gently, bringing a slightly tingling, itchy sensation as it scraped against my skin.
Seeing that Shanran did not reject herself, the red tip of her hair trembled slightly, as if to express her happiness.
Shan Ran turned around and saw Gano, who looked like a half-human, half-snake.
Her eyes widened in amazement.
This was the first time that Gano had shown himself in this form in front of others. His usually calm face flushed slightly, and he lowered his head shyly.
"I have a limited number of clothes at home. If I change them all at once, they'll stretch my pants."
He was explaining his recent act of taking off his pants.
Shanran: ...Quite frugal.
However, her attention was quickly diverted.
Gano was slender, but his muscles were clearly defined beneath his clothes.
The hem of the T-shirt only covered the waist and abdomen, and the connection with the snake tail was faintly visible, revealing the abdominal muscles and the V-line extending downwards.
