Chapter 393
In other words, the bastard in front of me is really Ma Yao...
Cheng Hui looked at Ma Yao sympathetically. He had a keen sense and could feel that the man was telling the truth.
In other words, the bastard in front of him is really Ma Yao’s father... at least his biological father.
It is not difficult to learn from his words that he has been exploiting Ma Yao's mother over the years. Ma Yao's mother may have been blackmailed by him because of her weak character.
Ma Yao was at school and had no idea about this matter. If it weren't for the end of the world, it might have taken him a long time to find out about it.
Cheng Hui even deduced from this man's words that Ma Yao's mother was probably forced to become pregnant with Ma Yao.
As a result, she did not accept her fate and marry the middle-aged man, which became an unforgivable crime in the man's eyes.
In his opinion, since he had slept with Ma Yao's mother, she was his and should serve him like a slave for the rest of her life. If he refused, he would be unfaithful and be having an affair with a strange man...
For such people, Cheng Hui would not bother to communicate or explain to them, because in their brains filled with excrement, they would only agree with the point of view that is most beneficial to them.
Yes, do you think they don’t know that their ideas are wrong?
Of course not!
They know it is wrong and they know they are wrong, but as long as it benefits them, they will stick to their "views".
"Alright, he's already admitted to killing Ma Yao's mother. The facts of the case are clear. Since this is the end of the world and the chaos is in full swing, let's execute him directly!"
Cheng Hui was too lazy to talk any more and directly sentenced him to death.
The middle-aged man was stunned and looked at Cheng Hui in disbelief.
No, why the death penalty? It's the end of the world, why are we still clinging to the old ways?
He is a man, a man who can produce offspring. That woman is so old and still sick. She can die if she wants to. Why should she be buried with him?
He hurriedly defended himself and found various reasons to exonerate himself, but Cheng Hui and others simply ignored his nonsense.
What about the end of the world? Even if more people die, if you want to reproduce, you can just use those with good character. Why leave behind a scumbag?
Besides, we are still far from that level now.
The middle-aged man suddenly became anxious and looked at Ma Yao quickly: "You bastard, go talk to your father!"
Ma Yao suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief. This man killed his mother who depended on him for survival, and he actually expected him to speak for him?
However, they heard another message from the man's cursing.
It turns out that the reason why this man doesn't take women seriously is because of their village. The mountain village where he lives is a typical trafficking village. Almost all the women in the village are abducted. To those villagers, women are just "objects" they bought to reproduce. They not only favor boys over girls, but also don't treat women as human beings at all.
Therefore, the man seemed to have no pressure after killing Ma Yao's mother, because he had seen similar things many times in the village. Moreover, the children born to those women were brought up to be cruel and bad, and did not regard their mothers as human beings at all.
The middle-aged man did not understand the impact of the environment on people, so in his impression, since Ma Yao was his son, he should be on his side and listen to him.
"Shut his mouth." Cheng Hui didn't want the man to continue affecting Ma Yao's mood.
Anyway, no matter what he said, he had no intention of letting this person go.
The neighbors all heard with their own ears that the man admitted to killing Ma Yao's mother. Killing someone means paying with one's life, and no one sympathized with the man. Instead, they showed disgust towards him.
The man's three views have long been completely distorted, but he forgot that the neighbors around him are all normal people. His idea of completely objectifying women will only arouse disgust from normal people.
Ning Junfei and Li Qiuqiu tied up the man, gagged him, and carried him to the residential complex downstairs.
Cheng Hui patted Ma Yao's shoulder to comfort him and told him that he could rest here for a while.
They had just returned from outside and were already exhausted. Ma Yao hadn't even caught his breath when he saw the tragic news about his mother. What happened afterwards was also a heavy blow to him. Cheng Hui felt that he needed to be alone now.
Ma Yao did not refuse Cheng Hui's kindness. He sat on the sofa, his mind empty, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Cheng Hui asked another team member to be careful so that Ma Yao wouldn't get too upset and get stuck in a rut, and then he went downstairs with Lin Qingqiu.
At this time, Li Qiuqiu took a loudspeaker and called out all the neighbors around. On the balcony upstairs, many people also curiously leaned out to look at the middle-aged man kneeling in the middle of the community.
When he saw Cheng Hui appear, Li Qiuqiu told him what the middle-aged man had done. He did not mention those irrelevant things, but only talked about the man's murder and robbery.
At the end, Li Qiuqiu said something serious. After the trial by the cleanup team, the suspect confessed to the crime and was sentenced to death.
Cheng Hui took a deep breath, walked forward, and raised the axe high in his hand.
The middle-aged man struggled desperately, but he was firmly controlled by Ning Junfei. He could only shed tears and seemed to want to make some excuses.
Cheng Hui swung his axe down fiercely, and immediately many people around him gasped.
Killing zombies is different from killing people. The former have lost their sanity and can be distinguished from humans by their appearance.
But killing someone is different. After all, that person is a living person.
Cheng Hui raised his head and looked around.
None of the residents around dared to look at him and they all turned their eyes away.
He said calmly, "I hope everyone understands that even though this is the end of the world and our community has been sealed off and isolated, this does not mean it is a lawless place. Order has not yet collapsed. I advise those who harbor evil intentions to stop immediately. Otherwise, he..." He pointed to the headless corpse on the ground, "will be your example."
Cheng Hui knew that this move would surely draw the fear of his neighbors, and some might even call him a murderer in private. But he didn't care.
There is nothing wrong with using severe punishments in troubled times. If he cannot curb this trend from the beginning, it will not take long before the atmosphere of the entire community will be corrupted.
And this is something he absolutely cannot tolerate.
There was one thing he actually didn't tell his teammates, and that was the issue of superpowers.
It has been more than three days since the end of the world, and those who should have awakened their superpowers should have done so.
Of course, due to different physiques and the types of awakened abilities, some people may not notice it at the moment, but gradually, some people will definitely realize that they have special abilities.
The reason why he did not discuss the issue of superpowers and told Lin Qingyang not to reveal his superpowers was that he wanted to see what would happen if someone among his team members awakened superpowers?
Should I tell him honestly, or... hide quietly, find an opportunity to kill him and take over, and become the "superior" through exploitation?
Cheng Hui has been observing and currently has two targets, but whether they can really awaken depends on their luck.
As for whether there are other people in the community who can awaken, it is hard to say. Cheng Hui doesn't care. Even if they awaken their special powers, they can't beat him.
Not to mention his physique which is three times stronger than that of an ordinary person, his fire ability has also been awakened, but it is not usually revealed.
If someone really wanted to sneak attack him and Lin Qingqiu, he would definitely be able to give the other party a big 'surprise'.
After executing the middle-aged man, Cheng Hui asked Ning Junfei and others to help Ma Yao return the things to their home.
Ma Yao's mother has passed away and her body needs to be buried. Under the current conditions, burial is not realistic, so cremation is the only option.
After the cremation was completed, Cheng Hui found two team members who were on rest to accompany Ma Yao, who was in a trance, to avoid any danger.
After dealing with these things, he and Lin Qingqiu returned to their own home and lay down on the bed, completely relaxed.
Lin Qingqiu considerately massaged his shoulders. Cheng Hui felt numb all over his body, even the joints between his bones. When he opened his eyes, he saw a flash of white light at Lin Qingqiu's fingertips.
Light-based abilities...
"What a waste." He said casually.
"How can it be considered a waste if it's used on you?"
Cheng Hui thought so too. If Lin Qingqiu didn't waste his energy on himself, would he waste it on others?
After thinking about it this way, I came to my senses and simply asked the other person to press here and there, and I fell asleep unknowingly.
After he fell asleep, Lin Qingqiu held him tightly in the bedroom, took off his coat so that he could sleep more comfortably, and then went to the kitchen.
Cheng Hui currently has no shortage of supplies, and all kinds of ingredients are available. The end of the world has just begun, and the electricity is still on, which allows the ingredients to stay fresh.
But no one knew when the power and water would be cut off, so Lin Qingqiu took advantage of these few days to try his best to process these fresh ingredients into food that could be preserved for a long time.
Come to think of it, he really missed his storage ring that could keep food fresh. Even though the food he pickled was delicious, fresh meals were not necessary.
"Um?"
Suddenly, he vaguely felt that he seemed to have established an inexplicable connection with the Way of Heaven.
He tried to discern the truth. The Heavenly Dao in this world was still very weak, existing between illusion and reality. However, he observed everything in the world and was very pleased with Cheng Hui's actions. The various contracts between Lin Qingqiu and Cheng Hui were countless, and the two of them were basically one. Therefore, when Lin Qingqiu made a request, the Heavenly Dao gave positive feedback.
Lin Qingqiu listened carefully to the message conveyed by Tiandao, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
It feels so good to be loved by Heaven. Although Heaven cannot give Lin Qingqiu things beyond the limits of this world due to various rules, it is still possible to open a back door.
For example... let Lin Qingqiu awaken another superpower.
The space he wanted most now was already there.
Specks of golden light appeared out of nowhere and slowly fell on Lin Qingqiu.
Soon, he felt that he had established some kind of connection with a mysterious space.
He opened his eyes, and although there was nothing in front of him, he could vaguely see a 3m x 3m space.
The space is not very big, and time inside is stagnant, so any food put in can be kept fresh.
Lin Qingqiu was very satisfied with this. Although the space was a little small, it was enough at the moment. So he put all the ingredients that Cheng Hui had ordered before into it, and there was still a lot left.
Perfect!
