Luo Yuan kept punching the air with his fists, and the sound of explosions was like the sound of firecrackers.
Sun Xiaowu, who was standing at the entrance of the passageway, looked at Luo Yuan's almost illusory fist shadow. He could not help but swallow his saliva. When Luo Yuan finally stopped, he respectfully handed him a towel.
"What happened outside? Why was it so noisy?" Luo Yuan took the towel and wiped his sweat.
The young man who had smashed the door seemed to worship martial arts. He was brave and reckless, but he was innocent. Ever since he had seen Luo Yuan's strength, he had been trying to get close to Luo Yuan. Of course, Luo Yuan would not reject him, so he asked him to gather some information.
"Someone died again. Those starving people fought so fiercely. They were willing to risk their lives just for food. Even a baby was trampled to death during the fight just now. It was terrible," Sun Xiaowu said in a low voice. Sun Xiaowu said in a low voice, "But no one dares to provoke us. Many people avoid us when they see us."
It had been five days since Luo Yuan had entered the shelter. As the food was running out, the originally peaceful shelter was now filled with restlessness. Every day, there would be people getting injured or dying in the battle. The air was filled with the stench of rotting corpses.
"What about Su Jianhao and the rest?" Luo Yuan asked.
"There hasn't been any movement lately. They seem to be afraid. Other than Huang Zhongchan and a few others, I haven't seen anyone else these few days. I've found out what you asked me to find out. Su Jianhao used to be the boss of the Xingan Gang in Anpu District of Hedong City. He gradually changed his name a few years ago, and I heard that he killed a few people."
Luo Yuan nodded and pondered. After a while, he looked up and said, "Tell the people outside that those who want to go with me will leave at noon."
"We're leaving the shelter?" Sun Xiaowu asked in shock.
He nodded, opened the mineral water bottle and took a sip before continuing to practice. He had said what he needed to say, and it was up to them whether they would listen or not.
Sun Xiaowu, who was standing next to Luo Yuan, felt a sharp pain on his skin. He looked at Luo Yuan, who was so strong that he did not look like a human. He gradually calmed down and said, "I understand. I'll tell them now."
Luo Yuan did not say anything and continued to practice.
… …
"Why are we leaving? It's so dangerous outside. There are mutated beasts everywhere. We've finally reached the shelter. Why are we going out?" a young woman asked.
"Yes, Xiaowu, tell Boss Luo why we're taking the risk. The environment here is bad, but it's still very safe. Where are we going? What are we going to eat after we leave?"
"Why don't you understand? The food here isn't limitless. Many people are starving now, and the food will soon run out. We have to go out sooner or later, so we might as well go out earlier, "Sun Xiaowu said loudly.
"I understand that, but I don't want to go out anymore. I have heart disease, and I really can't stand the stimulation of the outside world. In fact, even if I leave, I might die as soon as I go out. I can live here for at least a few more days. I don't plan on leaving anymore."
It was such a simple truth that everyone could understand. However, if they had to choose between a moment of happiness and a future of danger, most people would choose the former. The future was illusory, and only what was in front of them was real. He really did not want to go out. Compared to the outside world, this place was like heaven. Even one more day would be good. His heart beat faster when he thought of the thrilling night.
"I don't want to go out either. I'm fat and I can't run fast. I'll only be a burden if I go out with you," a middle-aged man said, shaking his head.
"If … if Boss Luo can guarantee our safety, we'll leave," a young man in blue sportswear said softly.
Before Sun Xiaowu could say anything, Huo Dong laughed coldly and said, "That's funny. It's like someone is begging you to go out. Who are you to Boss Luo? Did you give him money or save his life? To put it bluntly, it's all because of Boss Luo that you can still breathe and eat every day. It's fine if you don't work hard to repay Boss Luo, but you're trying to drag him down. You're ungrateful! "
"Don't be too harsh. It's your freedom to lick other people's butts, but don't use me as a stepping stone. Since Boss Luo wants us to leave, he has to be responsible for our safety. Otherwise, who would follow him? "He argued with a red face. Everyone looked at him with disdain.
"Ren Qi, are you good at killing mutated beasts or humans? Look at you, you're so fair and delicate. I'm afraid you don't even dare to kill a chicken. What else can you do other than selling your butts? Trash like you, you really think too highly of yourself. " Huo Dong said disdainfully. He had been acting at the beginning, but this time, he was really angry. He did not expect there to be such an idiot who could not understand the situation.
The young man named Ren Qi was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He rushed forward, but someone tripped him and he fell to the ground. The people around him scattered, and no one was willing to help him.
One of the girls hesitated for a moment before walking over to help him up. However, he pushed her away and she stumbled back a few steps, almost falling to the ground as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Ning Xiaoran, you don't have to pretend to be a good person. Don't you all want to see me make a fool of myself? Don't you all say that I'm overestimating myself? Just wait and see, you'll regret it one day." He glanced around with resentment, as if he wanted to remember everyone's faces. Then he pushed the crowd away and walked away.
… …
Luo Yuan wiped his knife and put it back into the scabbard.
He had packed a small amount of luggage. Other than a backpack and a tent, that was all he had.
Luo Yuan had not planned to bring a tent, but he had brought it along as he considered that it could be used in case of an accident.
The tent looked big when it was taken apart, but it was only the size of a luggage bag when folded. It was light, so it did not affect his movement. Moreover, it was not far away. If everything went smoothly, they would reach Jingyue District in two to three hours.
There were about 20 to 30 people when they arrived, but only five when they left.
Besides Huo Dong, Sun Xiaowu, Chen Xianfeng, a middle-aged man of about 30 years old, and two women. Luo Yuan had a good memory. One of them was the office lady who had reminded him about the bomb shelter. She looked pretty, and Sun Xiaowu stole glances at her from time to time.
She had been covered in mud, so he could not see her face clearly. After washing away the dirt, he realized that she was a beauty.
The other one looked young, about 18 or 19 years old. She was so petite and quiet that she looked like a student.
The people around them looked at them with mixed feelings. There was a hint of pity in their eyes.
"Only these people?" Luo Yuan asked.
"They don't want to leave," Huo Dong said.
Luo Yuan glanced around, and the people around him avoided his gaze. He sighed in his heart. Everyone had their own choices. Who knew who was right and who was wrong? Maybe staying here was the best choice for them.
"You choose your own path. Let's go!" Luo Yuan took a deep breath and said.
The people around them watched them leave and disappear into the long line of the bomb shelter. They did not know why, but they felt a sense of loss and regret.
… …..
Su Jianhao frowned and smoked one cigarette after another. In just a few days, he had lost a lot of weight, and he looked like he had aged a few years. There was not a day that he did not wake up from nightmares. His throat felt cold from time to time, and it was driving him crazy. He did not even leave his house for a few days. On the surface, it was because his son had a strange high fever, but in fact, he was really scared. He did not even dare to see his son.
If it had been in the past, he would have fought for his life. Back then, anyone who mentioned Crazy Hao of the Xingan Gang would be terrified.
When he was young, he was not afraid of death, but when he became rich, he started to be afraid of death. His previous bravery and ruthlessness had faded with the passage of time. In the past few years, his business had grown, and especially after he had gone ashore, he had become more and more like a businessman. He had started to calculate the gains and losses, learn to compromise, and give in.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Su Jianhao was shocked, and he almost stood up. When he saw Huang Zhongchan, he frowned slightly and said unhappily, "What are you talking about? How many times have I told you to knock before entering?"
"They're gone … they're finally …" Huang Zhongchan didn't hear it at all. His face was filled with excitement, and his body was trembling non-stop. Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized that his tone was not right. He forcefully swallowed the rest of the sentence and almost choked. After taking a deep breath, he continued, "They're finally … escaping. Should we go after them?"
"Gone?" Su Jianhao did not react for a moment. He slapped the armrest hard and vented, "They can come and go as they please! These scumbags have been jumping around happily these days. More than a dozen of them have died, right? They just throw them away when they die, and the bomb shelter stinks. If it wasn't for me being busy these days, I would have killed them already. "
"More than a dozen? I think only one person was killed." Huang Zhongchan seemed to have misunderstood. However, as Su Jianhao's confidant for many years, Huang Zhongchan had long understood his character. He knew that at this time, he could only go along with what Su Jianhao said. Huang Zhongchan hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Hao, you should have stood up long ago. At that time, if anyone dares to jump out, I will kill them for you."
"Oh right, who is it that wants to leave? They are really brave. Aren't they afraid of being eaten by mutated beasts?" Su Jianhao said calmly after venting his anger.
"It's that murderous demon. He just left."
"Murderous demon …" Su Jianhao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stood up, shaking the cigarette ash in his hand to the ground. "You said murderous demon, Luo what?"
"Boss Luo, no, Luo Yuan, he just left." Huang Zhongchan said excitedly again.
"He reacted quickly." Su Jianhao raised his eyebrows and sneered. He took a deep puff of his cigarette.
In the blink of an eye, Huang Zhongchan felt that the old Brother Hao had returned. His whole body was glowing with health and vigor. His originally frowning eyebrows were also greatly relaxed. Even every wrinkle was exuding a cheerful glow. The dull feeling that Boss had these days was swept away. He quickly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head slightly, deeply concealing the gaze in his eyes and the thoughts in his heart.
"How long have they been gone?" Su Jianhao asked.
"More than 10 minutes. I was the one who opened the door for them," Huang Zhongchan said with a smile. Huang Zhongchan smiled apologetically. Then, worried that his boss would misunderstand, he added, "That Luo … Wretch was going to cut the lock. You know that he has a very sharp sword."
"Forget it, it's not your fault. Don't lose your life for nothing," Su Jianhao said generously.
"Thank you for your understanding, Brother Hao, but there are still some people who haven't left. Should we still send them food in the future?" Huang Zhongchan said carefully.
"Send food? F * ck, are you an idiot? Do you really think my food fell from the sky?" Su Jianhao said emotionally. "It's good that they haven't left. I want them to spit out what they ate. My food isn't that good."
When that murderous demon was still around, he was wary of the other party's threat and naturally provided them with good food and drinks. However, he had already left. If he gave them food, wouldn't it mean that he, Su Jianhao, was completely afraid of the other party? How would the people who followed him see him? Without deterrence, the people's hearts would scatter. Not only could he not give them food, but he also had to wash away the shame on them.
"I understand." Huang Zhongchan understood tacitly. "Should we call them over?"
"Forget it, that's too much for them. Let's starve them for a few days. If there's nothing to eat, we can rob them. There are too many people in the shelter now, and they are all messy. We can clean up the mess and get rid of those who don't obey us, then seize the opportunity to seize the food. Then we can completely control the shelter. In this chaotic world, whoever controls the food is the boss, unless you want to starve to death, "Su Jianhao said coldly.
"Won't this make things worse? It'll be hard to clean up in the end!" If that happened, who knew how many people would die. Even though he had experienced many dark sides, Huang Zhongchan still felt cold all over.
"As long as we have guns, what's there to be afraid of? Society is chaotic now. No one will care even if everyone here dies," Su Jianhao said disdainfully.
