Chapter 46 You don't actually want to talk, do you?

"Good brother! Have mercy! Open the door!"

He begged desperately, pinning all his hopes on the unknown "kind person" behind the door.

He had no idea, and wouldn't dare imagine, that the person standing behind the door was the "mysterious person with a gun" he had previously coveted.

Inside the door, Zhou Yan clearly heard Zhuo You's desperate pleas and crying.

A cold, mirthless curve touched the corner of his lips.

Open the door?

That was the best joke of the year...

It wasn't just because of Zhuo You's despicable, animalistic behavior, but also because Zhuo You's shouting was like a beacon in the dark, frantically attracting the attention of all the merfolk upstairs and downstairs!

Forget opening the door; making any sound at this time was no different from inviting disaster!

The merfolk had to die! Zhou Yan needed supplies, needed the merfolk's corpses...

But they had to die after Zhuo You!

The two women in his arms huddled in Zhou Yan's warm embrace, not daring to move. They understood that Zhou Yan staying silent was to avoid attracting the attention of those merfolk!

For a moment, the three of them gripped their three guns tightly, tacitly aiming their muzzles at the Fire escape door...

Inside the door, Zhou Yan's silence was the coldest answer, completely shattering Zhuo You's last hope.

He understood that the person inside staying silent was to avoid attracting the merfolk, and it also meant he wouldn't save him.

Although, if the positions were reversed, Zhuo You wouldn't have opened the door for the person outside either—he knew that well in his heart—but when he was actually the one outside, Zhuo You couldn't accept this choice...

"Why! Damn it! Why won't you open the door! Refusing to save someone dying! Are you even human?"

Zhuo You had completely broken down, switching in an instant from pleading to the most vicious curses, kicking the Fire escape door with all his might.

"You bastard! Cold-blooded animal! May you die a horrible death!"

"When I die in a moment, I will come back as a ghost and never let you go!"

Inside the door, Zhou Yan couldn't help but dig his ear with his pinky. He rarely heard other insults, but this specific one: "I will come back as a ghost and never let you go..."

This line had a very high appearance rate in his career...

He was sick of hearing it...

His angry shouting had undoubtedly become his final death warrant!

"Roar!!!" A roar filled with the thick scent of blood erupted from right behind Zhuo You.

Zhuo You turned his head in horror...

Li Mei's purple pupils, filled with endless hatred and desire to kill, were locked onto him!

"No!!!" Zhuo You's scream was full of extreme fear and unwillingness...

Inside the door, Zhou Yan couldn't help but show a genuine smile.

Very good!

Zhuo You was dead, it was time for him to collect the "delivery"!

But then, the more Zhou Yan listened, the more something felt off...

Was Zhuo You really that hard to kill?

Why hadn't he died after so many screams?

He had to hold the woman in his arms tighter, his other hand not idle, wandering everywhere...

Because of the cruel battle outside, the two women didn't dare to breathe, for a moment even forgetting to struggle...

Five minutes later...

"..." Zhou Yan.

"I grant Zhuo You the title of 'Anti-Kill King' of Building 16!" Zhou Yan suddenly felt a bit of admiration for Zhuo You...

Ten minutes later...

Zhou Yan: "..."

Su Yanqiu: "..."

Su Yanyue: "..."

Wait, who exactly was the monster outside?

Was Zhuo You still not dead?

Zhou Yan had no choice; he lifted his somewhat damp hands and pushed the two women back into the house.

The situation outside...

Seemed a bit off...

Was this Zhuo You... damn, was he that fierce?

Could he not be killed even like this?

Disregarding the women's silent resistance, Zhou Yan firmly pushed them back into the house.

Outside the door, the tooth-achingly crisp sound of bones breaking and muscles tearing could still be heard, along with Zhuo You's weak and almost imperceptible groans...

Zhou Yan's figure turned back into a mass of ink, blended into the darkness, and came outside...

"Holy crap!"

Since Zhou Yan wasn't cultured, a single "Holy crap" sufficed for everything...

Inside the Fire escape, the smell of blood was so thick it was almost impossible to disperse!

The walls were covered in splashed bright red blood, like an abstract painting of dying life.

The ground was a scarlet hell!

Thick blood was mixed with shredded clothing...

Unidentifiable body parts were scattered everywhere...

"Zhuo You" could only be called "Zhuo You" for now.

He was in pieces...

He had been torn into a small pile of blurred flesh and broken bones, with only a few special "features" barely identifying that this had once been a human male...

Among all the corpses on the ground, he was the most shredded...

The air was filled with a suffocating, almost tangible stench of blood and the foul odor of ruptured internal organs, mixed with the earthy smell of the merfolk...

Zhou Yan gripped his shotgun, his finger steady on the trigger, feeling it was the perfect opportunity!

The two merfolk were kneeling on the ground, extending their tongues to clean up the sticky blood and shredded meat...

It was as if leaving a single piece behind would be a waste; they were surprisingly good at cherishing food...

Seeing Zhou Yan's figure appear as if by teleportation, Li Mei and Da Yong roared in alarm, then saw the Benelli shotgun in Zhou Yan's arms...

They raised their heads in unison, the madness and hatred in their eyes fading... replaced by a complex, indescribable human emotion.

Zhou Yan saw the smaller merfolk, who still had faint female features, making intermittent, rhythmic roars in her throat.

The sound was no longer as aggressive as before, but carried a kind of anxiety, as if attempting to communicate but failing.

She pointed at the puddle of "Zhuo You" on the ground, then pointed at Zhou Yan, then pointed at herself...

Zhou Yan widened his eyes, his tone filled with disbelief and a hint of probing, as he softly asked: "You wouldn't... happen to want to talk, would you?"

The female merfolk began to nod frantically!

The female merfolk began to slowly use various body language to express her meaning to Zhou Yan.

Even if Zhou Yan were a fool, he could understand this kind of "body language".

She meant for them to finish eating the pile of meat on the ground, and then he could shoot them dead...

She even knelt down, her head banging heavily against the floor in front of Zhou Yan...

She... was begging Zhou Yan to give her a chance to complete her revenge!

At this moment, the merfolk's attempt to communicate with a human made Zhou Yan feel shocked and incredulous...

Even he felt this scene was truly too absurd!

What were these two in front of him? Were they a more perfectly evolved new species, or "mutated humans" with a lower level of evolution?
