Chapter 23
Fang Bai sighed, looked up at the surveillance camera above his head, and suddenly felt it was extremely ridiculous.
Ridiculous, ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.
Shaking his head, Fang Bai looked at the person in front of him and asked,
“Where did you come from? What are you doing here? What’s your relationship?”
“We are employees of Weiye Company. We are colleagues. We were sent out by the company to gather various resources.”
Fang Bai was slightly taken aback.
“Weiye Company? Colleagues? It’s the apocalypse, and you’re still listening to the company?
What’s the difference from before the apocalypse?”
The man endured the pain, his face pale as he said,
“We were at work when the apocalypse happened. We didn’t know what was going on at the time, so we continued to follow the company’s instructions and cleared the zombies inside the company.
Later, when we realized it was the apocalypse, the boss suggested that uniting together would increase our chances of survival. He also promised to help us find our families and made reasonable arrangements, so we continued to stay together.
We came here because someone said the Police Station had good equipment, so we came to get it.”
“I see.”
Fang Bai pondered.
“Have you killed anyone?”
“No, how could we have killed anyone? He just wanted to scare you, scare you away, and then take the things back.
He did want to steal your bow, though.”
“Is it all a lie? The government and the army disappearing is also fake?”
“No, no, no, that’s real. When the internet was still working, our boss specifically arranged for people to check online.
The Government Building and the military camps have indeed all disappeared. It is indeed the apocalypse.”
“Oh, I see.”
Fang Bai said softly. The person in front of him looked at Fang Bai pleadingly.
“Then can you let me go?”
Fang Bai countered,
“Will you come back to take revenge on me after you go back?”
“No, no, absolutely not. We will definitely pretend nothing happened.”
Fang Bai took out a recycled arrow, looked at the black zombie blood remaining on the arrowhead, sighed, and stabbed it into the thigh of the person next to him. He immediately let out a scream.
Seeing this, the person in front of him stammered,
“W-why? We’ve been so cooperative. We really don’t plan to take revenge on you. You’re so powerful, we’ll definitely avoid you!”
Fang Bai sighed upon hearing this and stabbed the arrow into another person’s body again.
“I don’t want to k*ll people either. You’re forcing me to do this. Why did you have to scare me?
Don’t you know I’m easily scared?
If I let you go back, and you don’t take revenge, wouldn’t your boss want to get even when he sees you like this?
As a boss, wanting to rally people’s hearts, isn’t this a perfect opportunity? Do you think a boss would miss such an opportunity?”
Fang Bai shook his head.
“And as long as you d*e, and you have no relatives in the company, no one will care, and no one will know how you died, right? It’s normal for people to d*e in the apocalypse.
So, I want to survive.”
Fang Bai got up and left. When he dragged the corpse outside back to the Police Station, the two inside had already started wailing, their muscles twitching, their skin tightening, and their faces gradually becoming withered and hideous.
Fang Bai walked out of the Police Station, closed the door, stood at the entrance, leaned against the door, looked at the blood splattered on his clothes, and let out a faint sigh.
Fang Bai felt that he was becoming more and more proficient at killing, and he had fewer and fewer scruples.
The legal awareness that had been deeply rooted in him for more than twenty years seemed to be crumbling in these short two days, after only two killings.
What did it feel like?
Fang Bai didn’t feel anything.
Behind him, the young man in the Police Station looked at the two zombies behind him and slapped the door with his hand in fear.
“No, no, no, you can’t k*ll me. My brother is in the company, you can’t k*ll me.
Otherwise, my brother will definitely avenge me, you can’t k*ll me!”
Fang Bai took a deep breath upon hearing this.
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it. Your brother won’t know who killed you.”
“No, there are people in the surrounding buildings. They must have seen you k*ll. Then my brother will definitely investigate.
So you can’t k*ll me. As long as you don’t k*ll me, I’ll pretend nothing happened. I’ll say that the five of them were bitten to death by zombies. No one will come looking for you. Please spare me, okay?”
Fang Bai looked at the surrounding tall buildings, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“I understand. You’re reminding me to eliminate all threats, k*ll your brother as well, and prevent future trouble.
What was your brother’s name again?”
The young man’s voice faltered, and he couldn’t speak for a moment. But when he saw the two zombies gradually getting up, he continued to plead.
Listening to the helpless pleas from inside the door, Fang Bai felt a faint sense of pity and compassion in his heart.
Fang Bai was not a ruthless person; he was just decisive.
Even when it came to killing, he could make decisive decisions.
And since he had already made a decision, Fang Bai would not hesitate any longer. So, he hardened his heart and said softly,
“Just like you said, the apocalypse has come, don’t be naive anymore. Consider this your tuition fee.
Be more careful in your next life.”
Then Fang Bai didn’t say anything more. What responded to him was a series of insults and pleas, but after more than ten seconds, he lost his voice in screams.
After waiting for about a few minutes, Fang Bai opened the door and walked in, easily smashing the temples of the zombies with the chopping knife.
Fang Bai looked down at the two intact zombie corpses and the four severely gnawed zombie corpses and examined them.
All the injuries they had sustained before their deaths had lost their shape during the process of transforming into zombies, shrinking and withering, making them almost invisible.
Seeing this, Fang Bai walked to a computer, turned it on, and after confirming that it was the local computer connected to the surveillance system, he directly took out the main unit and smashed everything inside.
After tidying everything up, Fang Bai picked up the riot shield and stab-resistant vest again and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he took one last look back.
“If his brother really cares about him that much, then his death should not be hidden. But with these cover-ups, they won’t be able to pinpoint anyone or investigate any results for a while. Even if they do find out, they won’t be able to find me for a while.
If the young man didn’t report where he was going, they wouldn’t even notice this for a short time.
So, it’s best if I take advantage of this time to actively investigate who this young man’s brother is, and then also…”
Fang Bai hesitated slightly when he thought of this, then sighed.
“If he comes, then I’ll deal with him. If he doesn’t, then forget it.”
Fang Bai hated trouble, and he also understood that he alone would definitely not be a match for an entire company. Although his brother most likely wouldn’t be able to mobilize the entire company, it was still a hidden danger.
As for whether his brother would take revenge or give up on revenge…
Fang Bai wouldn’t consider this question because he now understood.
Living in the apocalypse, one couldn’t afford to take any chances.
There was no need to wait for someone to take the initiative to k*ll and then counterattack passively, because then it would become a cycle of killing the younger one and then the older one coming.
That wouldn’t be interesting.
So, if there was a chance, it was better to k*ll the older one in advance.
