"Zhidong, ask someone to go to my tent. There's a machine gun there. Zhao Wu and a few of you, take the guns and blend in with the crowd. Don't shoot unless it's absolutely necessary," Zhu Hao ordered.
He was a strong person and would never entrust his fate to others. He would never allow others to trample on him. At any time, he would always have a countermeasure. No matter how strong a person was, he would always have a weakness. For example, the people around him.
As he spoke, he carefully observed Luo Yuan's situation. "How many grenades do we have left?"
"I … I haven't counted, but there are about 15 boxes!" one of his men said after some thought.
They had almost wiped out all the weapons in the surrounding fortifications, so they had no shortage of firearms.
"I've told you many times that all the weapons have to be numbered and separated clearly. Forget it, we'll talk about it later. You …"
He looked in Luo Yuan's direction again. Suddenly, he was shocked and terrified. A silver-white handgun was pointed straight at him. The muzzle was as steady as a rock. His back was drenched in sweat, and even his clothes were wet. At that critical moment, he instinctively pulled one of his subordinates who was listening to his orders.
But it was useless.
A gunshot rang out. A dark-blue level bullet spun in the air at high speed. The next moment, it penetrated the body in front of him without any hindrance and pierced through his forehead.
Zhu Hao's eyes widened in disbelief. His body twitched a few times before he fell to the ground.
Until his death, he still could not understand why the person who killed him was not Luo Yuan or his three useless subordinates, but the woman who had stopped Luo Yuan from killing and let him go.
Luo Yuan turned his head and looked at Huang Jiahui in shock. He was touched. "You …"
"There's no time. Take that woman and run!" Huang Jiahui said expressionlessly. She raised the handgun and pulled the trigger, killing the few men around Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao's death was like poking a hornet's nest. The camp, which had just calmed down a little, suddenly became chaotic again. A few of the quick-witted men had already taken out their handguns and ran to the machine gun.
Luo Yuan broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly reacted and ordered the giant lizard to lie down. He shouted, "Everyone, get on the lizard and leave."
Everyone came back to their senses and ran towards the giant lizard.
The next moment, Luo Yuan sprinted forward and slashed a gunman who was about to shoot in half. He did not stop and rushed towards another gunman on the left. The gunman did not have time to react. All he could see was a blur before he lost consciousness.
Since things had already turned out this way, Luo Yuan would no longer show mercy. He would go all out and kill!
He dashed left and right at high speed, his 14-point Dexterity was fully displayed. In just a few seconds, no one in the vicinity could pull out a gun and survive. In the end, everyone was afraid of him. They realized that as long as they didn't expose their guns, they wouldn't be killed by this strong man. They all wisely hid their guns in their pockets.
Luo Yuan turned around and saw that everyone had climbed up the lizard. Only Huang Jiahui was still shooting.
"Go! I'll catch up with you!" Luo Yuan shouted.
Huang Jiahui knew Luo Yuan's strength, so she did not refuse. She took a few steps back and turned around to run towards the giant lizard. Suddenly, Luo Yuan swung his saber like lightning. With his Sensory Perception, he cut a bullet flying towards Huang Jiahui in half and it fell to the ground.
Luo Yuan did not have the time to be surprised. He picked up a stone and threw it at the person who had fired the shot. Unfortunately, the accuracy of the stone was not very good. The stone flew past the person's ear, but it was enough to scare him. Before Luo Yuan could continue to attack, he turned around and ran away in fear.
In Zhu Hao's tent, a machine gun was set up with a long pile of golden bullets. The muzzle of the machine gun was aimed straight at Luo Yuan through the hole in the tent. The two gunners were nervously watching the situation outside. As they saw more and more people were dying outside, their breathing became rapid and cold sweat kept dripping from their foreheads. There was a trace of fear in their eyes that could not be erased.
"When do we shoot?"
"I don't know … If we shoot, we might die. If we don't shoot, we won't die. Which one do you choose?"
"I want to live!" the man said with a trembling voice after a moment of hesitation.
"Me too!"
… …
The campsite was in a state of panic. Zhao Yali was frightened by the scene in front of her. She stood there motionlessly until Luo Yuan picked her up and threw her on the giant lizard's back. She screamed and came back to her senses.
Lao Huang felt its master's fear and was furious. It wanted to rush over, but when it saw Zhao Yali on the giant lizard's back, it stopped in its tracks. Obviously, the battle just now had left a deep impression on it.
Luo Yuan stepped back while staying alert. He quickly jumped on the giant lizard's back and patted its back. It seemed to feel Luo Yuan's anxiety. It growled and ran away quickly.
Lao Huang saw its master getting further and further away, so it paced around impatiently and quickly followed. It roared at the giant lizard, its roar echoing in the air for a long time.
… …
There was a gentle breeze blowing past.
Zhao Yali sat on the giant lizard's back with a straight face, not moving.
Wang Shishi pouted and played with the shuttle in her hands, ignoring Luo Yuan who was beside her. Huang Jiahui was silent with her head lowered. She seemed to be in a bad mood. Wang Xiaguang, who was next to her, also looked upset.
The atmosphere was unusually depressing. No one was in the mood to talk. Huo Dong and the rest were full of gossip, but it was obviously not the time to talk.
The giant lizard walked slowly on the muddy mud. The mud had already reached its calves. It did not notice that it had chosen to cross the mudflat when it was retreating. Fortunately, the mud was not too deep for it, so it was still safe. Luo Yuan did not want to go back.
Luo Yuan looked at the dark clouds above his head and sighed. He had killed many people since the beginning of the apocalypse, but none of them made him feel so uneasy. Even the first time he killed someone, he did not feel this way.
Every time he killed someone, he would always find a reason to convince himself, but this time he could not find one.
However, he had no reason to blame Huang Jiahui. When Huang Jiahui had just killed Zhu Hao, Luo Yuan had also been secretly delighted. Every man wanted to kill his rival in love, and there was no exception to this rule.
Although Huang Jiahui did not say it explicitly, he knew that it was all for him. As a police officer, her sense of justice was much stronger than Luo Yuan's hypocrisy. She had stopped him from killing before, but now she was willing to do this for him.
"You're so stupid!" Luo Yuan could not help but say when he saw Huang Jiahui's depressed expression.
Huang Jiahui was silent for a while, then she turned her head and said, "I don't want to see you become like a dead man because of a woman!"
Based on her character, Luo Yuan's slight mockery in front of everyone was enough to show that she was extremely unhappy.
Zhao Yali was expressionless at the side. Her expression was wooden, as if she wasn't talking about her.
Luo Yuan laughed awkwardly and quickly changed the topic to ease the atmosphere. "I've only just realized what happened in the afternoon. I haven't had lunch yet, so I don't think they'll come after us. Why don't we eat before we continue?"
"Let's eat first." Huang Jiahui knew that she could not push him too hard, or it would be counterproductive, especially now that Zhao Yali was involved. Moreover, everyone hadn't eaten in the morning, so they were already hungry. Thus, he took the opportunity to say that.
The giant lizard stopped, and they slowly got down from its back. Zhao Yali slid down carefully with everyone else. As she stood up, she suddenly felt dizzy. Luo Yuan quickly helped her up, but she pushed him away. She deliberately slowed down and looked at Lao Huang, who was following them from afar. While Luo Yuan was not paying attention, she quickly limped towards Lao Huang.
Luo Yuan had just put down his luggage when he saw Zhao Yali running away. He chased after her angrily.
When Zhao Yali realized that Luo Yuan had caught up, she shouted anxiously, "Lao Huang, come and pick me up!"
Seeing that Lao Huang had heard her voice and stood up, Zhao Yali's eyes lit up. She pulled on her pants and ran as fast as she could.
Unfortunately, Zhao Yali was stopped by Luo Yuan after she had only run for about 10 meters.
Lao Huang hesitated for a moment and paced around impatiently. In the end, he did not come over because he was afraid of the giant lizard.
"Let me go, you devil!" Zhao Yali was like a crazy wild cat, hitting Luo Yuan hard.
"Where are you going?" Her struggle was like an itch to Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan easily pulled Zhao Yali and walked back.
"I'm going back to the camp. I won't go with you even if I die." Zhao Yali struggled hard, but she could not get away. "You're hurting me! Let go, let go!"
"If you dare go back, I'll go back and kill them all again!" Luo Yuan let go of Zhao Yali and turned around to threaten her.
"You! You're a murderer! You're crazy!" Zhao Yali trembled with anger when she heard Luo Yuan's threat. Suddenly, she felt sad and wailed, "Why are you doing this to me? I was living a good life, but as soon as I saw you, my boyfriend was killed by you and so many people. How could you do this to me?"
Luo Yuan did not explain that he did not kill Zhu Hao. He looked at Zhao Yali, who was crying and out of breath, and said in a low voice, "Because you're my woman."
She looked at Luo Yuan angrily and said, "Then why didn't you look for me before? I had already forgotten about you. Now you're snatching me away. What do you think I am?"
Luo Yuan was speechless. He laughed dryly and said, "Don't make a fuss. We'll talk about it later. Everyone is waiting now. Let's eat first!"
He tried to pull Zhao Yali over, but she pushed him away.
Zhao Yali carefully wiped her tears, smearing the paint on her face with all sorts of colors. Then, she angrily walked back, but fortunately, she didn't run anymore.
Zhao Yali and Zhu Hao had just started dating, so they did not have a deep relationship. What she was angry about was that Luo Yuan had killed Zhu Hao for no reason. After all, Zhu Hao had behaved well in front of her. He had been considerate and caring towards her.
After a long time, even the most picky people would have a good impression of him.
