Chapter 136 Tell me if you want more scenes next time.
"Clatter, clatter—"
Messy footsteps came from the stairwell.
A large crowd poured out; it was Tang Jun's dozen or so men.
They walked out of the stairwell and instinctively looked up at the sky.
"Holy crap, it's really fine."
"The Eye of Peace really didn't react!"
"Hahaha, I told you, they jumped themselves. What does it have to do with us?"
"Right, right, they jumped on their own. It has nothing to do with us."
Several people exchanged glances and laughed even harder.
Then, Tang Jun walked out of the stairwell.
He was still dragging a shell-shocked Lu Xiaoyu, who was stumbling along.
At this moment, she seemed to have had her soul sucked out; her eyes were hollow, and her steps were mechanical.
She didn't even look up at the laughing people around her.
"Go check if they're dead yet. Don't let it delay our business."
Tang Jun snorted coldly and prepared to send someone over.
"Ahhh!"
Lu Xiaoyu covered her mouth, looking at her two teammates lying there motionless, covered in blood.
Tang Jun was startled: "What are you doing!"
Lu Xiaoyu wiped away her tears and rushed over, throwing herself beside Sister Lin and kneeling on the ground. She reached out to touch her face, but withdrew her hand halfway.
She didn't dare touch her; her hand just hovered there, shaking violently.
"Sister Lin..."
"Sister Lin..."
Her voice was as small as a mosquito's, filled with a crying tone.
No one responded.
No one would ever respond again.
"Don't... get up... Liu Lei, Sister Lin, please get up..."
Lu Xiaoyu knelt there, completely unable to stop herself from wailing.
The dozen or so Polytechnic guys stood nearby, watching this scene. They looked at each other, momentarily stunned.
"Where do all these emotions come from in the apocalypse?"
"It's like their parents died..."
"Yeah, if you didn't know better, you'd think they were family!"
"She's just a young girl, emotional. She'll get over it later, right, Brother Tang?"
"Brother Tang?"
Tang Jun didn't answer.
He stood there, his gaze passing over the crowd, over the kneeling Lu Xiaoyu, and over the two corpses.
Looking not far away.
Looking at that tree.
Looking at the person leaning against the tree.
"Don't fucking ask me. If you have the guts, go ask that..."
"Ask who?"
The Polytechnic guy was stunned. Following the direction of the finger, his expression changed!
"Holy shit, the murderer! Why hasn't he left yet!!!"
The dozen or so people fell silent all at once. Only Lu Xiaoyu's crying remained!
Lu Xiaoyu, kneeling on the ground, heard the word "murderer" and looked up, tears welling up again...
Chen Yu shook his head: "I can choose not to kill them or to go easy on them, but others won't."
Lu Xiaoyu was stunned.
Chen Yu straightened up from the tree and waved his hand.
"Go ahead."
"Now you can join someone else's convoy."
"Isn't this what you wanted?"
Lu Xiaoyu knelt there, her whole body shaking.
She shook her head desperately.
"No..."
"It's not like that..."
She cried: "I didn't want this..."
Chen Yu narrowed his eyes: "Oh, so you didn't want this. Then what do you want?"
He took a step forward.
"I can help you."
His voice was very soft: "But the price is that from now on, you must listen to me."
Lu Xiaoyu knelt on the ground, looking up at him with a face full of tears.
"You can help me?"
Her voice trembled with a sob: "I want to go with you. I... I don't want to be in the same car as the people who killed Sister Lin and Liu Lei. They... they are bad people..."
Chen Yu shook his head: "Then when I invited you just now, why didn't you say anything?"
Lu Xiaoyu was stunned.
She remembered being upstairs just now and clearly refusing him.
Because Sister Lin said "no."
From the first day the apocalypse arrived, it was Sister Lin who held her hand and ran, Sister Lin who stood in front of her to take the beatings, and Sister Lin who left her food, saying she wasn't hungry.
So she had always listened to Sister Lin. Whatever Sister Lin said, she did.
But now, Sister Lin was dead, and Liu Lei was dead too.
Lu Xiaoyu knelt there, silent for a long time. She couldn't answer Chen Yu's question.
"I'm sorry..."
Her voice was tiny, sobbing and trembling.
"I'm sorry..."
She said it again, tears falling one by one onto the ground.
"I'm sorry..."
She said it over and over.
Until Chen Yu squatted down. "Look at that tall guy over there—"
Lu Xiaoyu followed his gaze and saw Tang Jun.
Lu Xiaoyu shivered.
She lowered her head, not daring to look again.
Chen Yu spoke indifferently: "Do you want to kill him?"
Lu Xiaoyu shook her head desperately: "No... I don't dare... I don't dare."
Chen Yu looked at her: "I'll ask you one more time. Respect your own heart. Don't forget, he killed Sister Lin and Liu Lei. Do you want to kill him?"
Lu Xiaoyu was stunned.
She looked up at Chen Yu.
Looking into those very dark and quiet eyes.
"I..."
"I... want to..."
"Bang!"
Before the words even left her mouth!!!
In the next instant!!!
Chen Yu flew out, holding that massive Boning Knife in his hand!!!
Rubble flew everywhere!!!
Without warning or preparation, Lu Xiaoyu's pupils shrank in fear!!!
In her field of vision, only the meter-long blade remained, reflecting a piercingly cold light!!!
The Polytechnic guys were still standing there, having no time to react!
"Ho—"
Before the word "ly" could even be uttered, Chen Yu had already charged into the crowd!!!
"Ahhh!!!"
"The murderer!!!"
"Run!!!"
The dozen or so people scrambled to both sides like they'd seen a ghost, falling and crawling to get away!
Tang Jun, standing at the back of the crowd, turned pale instantly!
"Damn it..."
He turned and ran.
The 1.9-meter-tall giant ran like a startled buffalo!
He knocked aside anyone in his way and desperately charged toward the exit of the residential area!
But Chen Yu was faster!
At a corner, he was almost upon him!!!
Lu Xiaoyu knelt where she was, her gaze completely blank. She couldn't put it into words, but the sense of security from that back...
Wasn't it a bit too much?
On the other side, at the corner, the two of them instantly chased into a stairwell!
Tang Jun ran for his life, his legs spinning like wheels, but his collar was suddenly grabbed tight!
He was yanked backward!
His feet left the ground!
"Thud!"
He slammed hard onto the ground!
Tang Jun was terrified, grimacing in pain, but still struggling to escape!
Until he got up and saw Chen Yu standing in front of him with his hands in his pockets...
"What are you running for?"
"I..."
Tang Jun was stunned. He saw Chen Yu's empty hands; the massive Boning Knife was gone.
"Phew..."
"Brother Yu, you scared the life out of me. I thought you were really going to kill me. I was following instructions perfectly!"
Tang Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Too scary, way too scary..."
"Could you tell me next time you add a scene?"
Chen Yu spoke flatly: "There won't be a next time. This is your reward."
As he spoke, Chen Yu threw over a bag of lobsters.
Tang Jun quickly put it away: "Thank you, Brother Yu, thank you! If my role is finished this time, could you arrange other parts next time? I want to improve too..."
Chen Yu's lip twitched: "No more parts. For you in the Living Area, it ends with a disability."
"Alright then."
Tang Jun was a bit disappointed.
Chen Yu looked at him and repeated it once more.
"Ends with a disability."
Tang Jun looked up.
"Ah, ah, ah,"
He hurriedly leaned against the wall, dragging one leg on the ground, and limped away.
