Chapter 102 What I want is to uproot it completely.
Zuo Shi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed.
The group was talking when they suddenly felt someone approaching and turned their heads in unison.
The moment Zang Rui saw Chen Yu... her expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.
The expressions of the people beside her stiffened, but they all adjusted quickly.
Chen Yu observed such a wide range of emotional fluctuations.
It seemed that what he had just done in the square had already spread completely.
Chen Yu walked up to them and stopped.
Zang Rui looked at him with a polite smile on her face and asked, "Uh... hello, is there something I can help you with?"
Chen Yu got straight to the point: "I heard you were just talking about a meeting in the Villa Area."
Zang Rui was taken aback, then shook her head with a smile: "You must have misheard; we were just talking about something else."
The boy next to her quickly chimed in: "Yeah, you definitely misheard. We were just talking about things over at Road No. 3, supplies and stuff. It has nothing to do with the Villa Area."
Another boy nodded beside him, lifting the bag in his hand slightly: "Look, we just got back from outside and are exhausted. We don't have the energy to chat about some meeting."
Chen Yu looked at them and simply smiled faintly without saying a word.
This expression made the group feel a bit uneasy.
Zang Rui cleared her throat: "Um... fellow student, is there anything you need help with? If not..."
"Where is Zhang Zixuan?"
Chen Yu spoke flatly.
Zang Rui was stunned: "President Zhang?"
She blinked, looking a bit confused: "How would we know her whereabouts? She doesn't tell us anything."
"You don't know?"
"Right, if we knew, we'd definitely tell you. It's not like it's a secret, so why would we hide it from you..."
Zang Rui and the others looked completely like they were being wrongly accused.
Qiao Xi, beside Chen Yu, said anxiously, "They're lying..."
?
Zang Rui narrowed her eyes as if she had found her target: "So it's you who's framing us!"
The boy next to her also reacted, taking a step forward: "Who do you think you are? Do we even know you? What did you hear us talking about? This is nonsense!"
Qiao Xi looked at them, her voice remaining steady: "I heard you talking about the meeting in the Villa Area, about Zhang Zixuan and the Debate Society, and about the Four Great Societies' meeting..."
She had been very close just now and had specifically heard some of the content clearly.
But now, these people refused to admit it no matter what.
Especially since Qiao Xi was a late addition to the team, she was very afraid of not being trusted by her teammates.
She looked at Chen Yu and spoke earnestly: "What I'm saying is true, please believe me..."
Zang Rui sneered, sounding a bit helpless: "Some people are just like that. They mishear something and then insist others are lying, just to frame someone for something."
Qiao Xi frowned,
The other girls seemed to want to speak up for Qiao Xi.
But Chen Yu waved his hand.
In the next second, a massive deboning knife appeared out of thin air.
On the blade, which was over a meter long, one could vaguely see traces of dark red that hadn't been wiped clean.
Chen Yu gripped the handle and raised the blade above his head.
Sunlight reflected off the blade,
It was terrifyingly intimidating!
The smile on Zang Rui's face froze: "?"
Her teammates' expressions also changed, and none of them dared to move.
Chen Yu spoke coldly: "I'll ask one more time: where is Zhang Zixuan? If you don't want to say, I can cut you down with one strike. I mean what I say."
Zang Rui hesitated for only a second before her lips moved: "At... Road... Road No. 3."
"What is she doing there?"
"Leading people to search for supplies."
"Be more specific."
Zang Rui stared at the massive cleaver and said hurriedly, "Halfway through the meeting this afternoon, someone brought news that a new supply point was discovered over at Road No. 3, and it's quite large."
Chen Yu narrowed his eyes: "When will she be back?"
Zang Rui was stunned, then she almost burst into tears: "I... I really don't know..."
Chen Yu's patience was limited, and he was getting a bit irritable: "What else do you know?"
Zang Rui immediately spoke up: "Um... tonight! At nine o'clock tonight! The organization is going to continue the meeting! All the teachers and presidents have to attend. President Zhang will definitely be there!"
Chen Yu frowned: "Then why didn't you say that earlier?"
Zang Rui couldn't answer; she just felt her legs go weak.
Especially seeing the large blade hanging high above her head, she felt even more lightheaded.
This terrifying sense of pressure was something she was experiencing for the first time in her life.
Club honor, organizational unity, keeping secrets—none of it was as important as her own life.
"Let's go."
Chen Yu slowly put away the blade and, without wasting any time, led the girls away.
Only after watching their figures disappear...
...did Zang Rui's whole body go limp. She leaned against the wall, gasping for air, her back drenched in cold sweat.
Another timid girl sat directly on the ground, so frightened she was left traumatized.
"He's the Chen Yu who killed those people in the square not long ago, right?"
"President Zhao, Director Wang, Professor Zhou—he took them out with one strike each. It was him!"
"He's so damn terrifying. Was this guy really not a murderer before the apocalypse?"
A few boys discussed in low voices.
Just now, even though they were in the safe Living Area... no one doubted whether that blade would fall.
This was enough to show how much the reputation of the devil Chen Yu affected everyone.
Zang Rui's expression was grim: "But why is he looking for President Zhang? He looks quite fierce... He doesn't look like he's here to join the organization at all; he looks more like he's seeking revenge..."
"Who knows? Are we still going to the meeting tonight, Boss Zang?"
One of the boys asked quietly.
Zang Rui narrowed her eyes and analyzed: "They're continuing toward the Villa Area, which means they didn't go to find President Zhang immediately. This means our chance to earn some credit has arrived."
"Earn credit?"
"Yes. Get ready and come with me to Road No. 3 to tell President Zhang about this in person."
"Huh? Can't we just send a private message? Road No. 3 is a bit dangerous..."
"President Zhang's private messages must have blown up long ago. Even if I send one, she might not see it."
"That's true."
On the other side, Chen Yu and the girls finally arrived outside the Villa Area.
Shen Qingci asked curiously, "Will we attract attention by asking about Zhang Zixuan so openly?"
Chen Yu shook his head: "It doesn't matter. In fact, I'd rather she knows her death is imminent. Living in a countdown to death is quite nice."
Zhang Wanyue frowned.
From the sound of it, Chen Yu and Zhang Zixuan seemed to have a deep-seated hatred.
The girls were all sensible enough not to press further.
Chen Yu spoke to himself: "I know what you're worried about. You're afraid she'll be on guard and gather the experts within the organization as personal bodyguards."
"Is there a possibility..."
"What I want is to uproot them entirely."
"What I want is to eliminate them all."
"What I want is for the readers who have followed the story to this point to have everything go smoothly in the new year, for their families to be healthy! To get rich soon! To have a great body soon! To find their ideal partner soon! To have everything they desire soon!"
