Everyone made way for him.
Luo Yuan walked forward and pulled out his Zhanmadao. Under everyone's shocked gaze, he raised the tip of the sword and stabbed it into the thick iron door. The iron door, which was about 10 centimeters thick, was nothing to the dark blue level long sword. It was as if a red-hot knife was stabbing butter, and it was easily pierced through. There was a commotion inside.
"Open the door, or I'll chop it down," Luo Yuan said in a low voice.
"Don't be rash. It's open, it's open!" After a moment of silence, the people inside said quickly.
Soon, the thick iron door opened slowly. A group of people stood at a distance and looked at Luo Yuan and his group coldly. A few of them were holding pistols, and two of them were even carrying rifles.
The leader was a tall, strong man with a squarish face with a blood-red scar that ran from the corner of his eye to his mouth. Half of his face was divided into two halves, making him look particularly ferocious. He glanced at the Zhanmadao in Luo Yuan's hand and said coldly, "Since you're here, you should follow the rules. If you want to cause trouble, don't blame us for not making it clear."
Seeing that these people were holding guns, the imposing crowd suddenly fell silent. Even the young man who had been knocking on the door kept his mouth shut.
"Nothing can be accomplished without rules. I like places that follow rules." Luo Yuan stared at them with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura was emitted from his body.
With Luo Yuan as the center, the air around him began to distort. The aura generated by the Knife Mastery could even affect light blue level mutated beasts, let alone ordinary people. Everyone felt like they had fallen into an ice cellar, their minds blank.
The face of the tall and strong leader suddenly changed. Sweat kept dripping from his forehead, and his whole body was stiff. He didn't even dare to think about holding his gun. He swallowed his saliva, and just as he was about to speak, the aura just now suddenly disappeared.
"As for why you didn't open the door earlier, I understand. No one wants to gamble on whether it's a friend or a poisonous snake," Luo Yuan said with a smile.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Only then did they realize that all of their clothes were drenched in sweat within a short period of time. Their bodies were trembling non-stop as they looked at Luo Yuan in fear, as if they had seen a ghost.
Luo Yuan pushed away the crowd who had lost their will and walked down the stairs. The crowd quickly followed him when they came back to their senses. The people in the air-raid shelter exchanged glances with each other. Fear lingered in their hearts. Scarface reached for the pistol at his waist several times. His expression kept changing, but in the end, he put it down dejectedly. He instinctively felt that if he dared to use his gun, the one who would die would definitely not be the other.
This was an extremely dangerous man, even more terrifying than the mutated beasts outside.
In a short time, the situation had changed. It seemed like everyone had become Luo Yuan's subordinates.
Luo Yuan walked down the stairs. The corridor was filled with tents and mattresses. Although it was almost two in the morning, the roars of the beasts were still coming from outside. Apparently, many people could not sleep. The parents were coaxing their children, and the young man and woman were snuggling up to each other. When they saw Luo Yuan and his group coming in, they only took a glance and then ignored them.
"How many people are here?" Luo Yuan asked.
"A few hundred people. Since the sound of the cannons started yesterday, all the people in the neighborhood have come here," Scarface, who was following behind, said subconsciously. After saying that, his face looked a little ugly.
Luo Yuan nodded. He had not expected there to be so many people there. "Is there a lot of food?"
"They all brought their own rations. It might be fine for three to five days, but if it's too long, I'm afraid it won't work." Since he had already spoken, Scarface continued to explain. He hesitated for a while, then opened his mouth and asked, "What … what's the situation outside now?"
Luo Yuan did not say anything and continued walking forward.
"Although I don't want to say it, the fact is that Hedong City has fallen. All the troops have retreated to the underground base. The city has been taken over by the mutated beasts, and the Jiangnan Province is finished. There will be no support, and there will be no miracle. I'm afraid we'll have to stay here for a long time, "Huo Dong said when he saw that Luo Yuan did not say anything.
A few women in the crowd began to cry, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Luo Yuan's voice broke the desperate atmosphere. "Do you still have tents? I need two tents."
"Yes, I'll get two for you," Scarface said. Scarface said, then he waved his hand, and a man as thin as a monkey walked towards the crowd.
Soon, there was a commotion.
"What are you doing? Why should we give it to you? You're robbing us!" a woman said angrily.
"Don't be so shameless. We only want your things because we think highly of you. These are food stamps. Our boss is buying them!" The skinny man said loudly. He took out a handful of food stamps and threw them at the woman's face.
"You … How could you hit people? You bastard, you're being unreasonable."
The man next to the woman was scared stiff. They were obviously husband and wife. He pulled the woman and said in a low voice, "Forget it, just give it to them. We can't afford to offend them. It doesn't matter if the tents are gone. Just be safe."
The woman pointed at the man and was stunned for a while. Suddenly, she screamed, "Are you even a man? I married you because everyone said you were honest. I didn't want to say anything because only a man like that can be trusted. But look at the situation now. You're being bullied, and you're still so calm. Have you ever thought about how we're going to sleep without the tents?" The man looked a little uncomfortable. "Sigh, you know me.
There are so many of them. Even if we go all out, we won't be able to defeat them. They even have guns. Forget it, let's keep the peace. These are just worldly possessions. Don't make a fuss and just give them to them. "The man's expression was a little unnatural," Sigh, you know my personality.
The woman pointed at the man. She was so angry that she could not speak. She just sat on the ground and cried.
The crowd gathered around them and watched from afar, but no one dared to get close. The skinny man was angry when he saw that the matter had not been resolved after so long. He pulled out the iron rod from behind his back and walked towards the woman.
Huang Jiahui could not stand it anymore. She pinched Luo Yuan hard.
Luo Yuan sighed. He had not been tough enough. Seeing that the woman was about to get hurt, he quickly shouted,
"Stop!"
The skinny man's body trembled. He stopped immediately and looked at Luo Yuan in fear.
Luo Yuan looked at the young couple with a complicated expression. He had just come from an orderly society, and it was hard for him to accept such an ugly thing. He was the mastermind, indirectly or directly.
"Forget it, come back!" Luo Yuan said. "There's no point in bullying honest people. Give me two of your tents!"
The man was stunned, and so were the people behind him. They could not help but curse in their hearts.
You don't want to bully honest people, but you can't bully us either!
"No?" Luo Yuan turned his head and said calmly.
His calm voice made the man's heart tremble. He quickly buried his complaints in his heart and said, "Yes, of course there are."
"Then give me two tents immediately!" Luo Yuan said.
The man turned his head and looked at the crowd. "Xiao Chao, Luo Ping, bring two tents to this big brother."
As the boss, he would not bring his own tent. His men would do everything for him.
"Yes, Brother Hao!"
The faces of the two men who were called out darkened as if their parents had died. Under the gloating gazes of the crowd, they unwillingly walked towards another underground passage.
Not long after, the two of them brought two tents. The man gestured for them to go to an empty tunnel and set up the tents.
"Do you smoke?" Luo Yuan leaned against the thick wall of the bomb shelter and sat down. He took out a wrinkled pack of cigarettes.
Ever since the mutation, he had become addicted to smoking. Whenever he felt depressed, he would smoke a cigarette.
The scar-faced man nodded, feeling flattered. Luo Yuan gave one to the others. This was the only stock they had left.
"What's your name?" Luo Yuan asked as he lit his cigarette.
"Su Jianhao, thanks to the brothers' respect, they all call me Brother Hao." Scarface took a deep breath and gently exhaled.
"You want to kill me? Maybe at night, "Luo Yuan said. Luo Yuan said as he looked around and pointed. "There's no one here, so it's hard to alert anyone when we came in. Besides, there's only one straight path, and there's no place to hide. With a few guns, even the strongest person would be turned into a pile of meat paste. Do you think I should kill you now?"
The man named Su Jianhao was shocked. He wanted to jump up, but he sat back down. A blue knife was already at his throat. His face was pale, and the hand holding the cigarette started to tremble.
The icy pain in his throat clearly reminded him that if he moved even the slightest bit, that unimaginably sharp knife would cut into his throat without any hindrance.
He swallowed and said, "I … I think you've misunderstood."
One of Su Jianhao's men noticed him and quickly pulled out his gun and pointed it at Luo Yuan. He shouted, "What are you doing? Put down the knife, or else …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Scarface felt the figure beside him blur for a moment. In the next moment, a stream of boiling hot blood sprayed onto his face and body, drenching him completely. The thick smell of blood continuously drilled into his nostrils.
He saw the man cover his throat with his hands, but blood still flowed out from the gaps of his fingers due to the high pressure. His eyes widened in anger, and his throat made a gurgling sound. A few seconds later, he fell to the ground with a thud, his body twitching.
Su Jianhao opened his mouth. His heart was beating violently and his face was filled with shock. He didn't even dare to blink when the blood stained his eyes because he realized that the knife in his throat didn't move at all. Or rather, he didn't feel the knife move at all.
"If anyone points a gun at my head again, they'll end up like him," Luo Yuan said coldly. The temperature seemed to have dropped a few degrees. One of the men, who was about to take out his gun, immediately lowered his hand when he heard Luo Yuan's words, not daring to move. Everything had happened so fast that it was beyond everyone's comprehension. Most of them could not even see his movements clearly. From the time he had killed someone to the time he returned to his original position, it had only been less than half a second.
Wang Shishi covered her mouth when she saw what had happened. Her eyes were filled with fear. Huang Jiahui sighed and hugged Wang Shishi tightly.
"Very well, let's continue," Luo Yuan said with a smile.
"It's a misunderstanding, a big misunderstanding. I never meant to do that, or I'll die a horrible death!" Su Jianhao's body was stiff, but he forced a smile and said quickly.
Death had never been so close to him. The blue knife seemed to carry a strong murderous intent, making him feel cold all over.
"It doesn't matter if it's a misunderstanding or the truth. If you want to die, it's easy. If I move my knife, a life will be gone. You should know what to do.
You only have one chance, and you only have one life. If you want to live, it's all up to you. "
"Yes … yes …" Su Jianhao answered quickly, not daring to have any other thoughts.
"Alright, drag the body away and get rid of the blood. You guys can go now. Remember to bring breakfast tomorrow! "Luo Yuan waved his hand when he saw that the tent had been set up.
"Alright, alright!"
Everyone felt like they had just received a royal decree. After everything was cleaned up, Su Jianhao and his men left quickly, leaving only the people who had followed them.
"I knew it. Those people are up to no good. I was wondering why they wouldn't open the door no matter what. It turns out that they want to close the door and dominate. Brother Luo, do you want to kill one of them to scare the monkey? Who knows, there might be more trouble. Although we can't help much, at least we can be vigilant. I won't sleep tonight. I'll help you guard the entrance, "Huo Dong said.
"Yeah, since it's almost dawn, let's not sleep. Let's guard the entrance for the day," someone in the crowd agreed.
In the apocalypse, strength was always the most eye-catching power. It was also the guarantee of safety. When Luo Yuan showed off his strength, many people started to have ideas.
"I appreciate your kindness. Although I'm not afraid, I still have a lot of family members to take care of. Sorry for the trouble," Luo Yuan said with a smile.
He did not refuse. With this group of people living outside, it would be even more difficult to attack silently.
"Of course, of course. Rest early, Brother Luo. We're leaving."
