Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 110 - 101: Declaration of War
Chapter 110: Chapter 101: Declaration of War
“Clang!”
A crisp sound rang out as the silver-white blade broke into two pieces, falling to the ground.
Su Lin snapped back to reality, not having time to ponder the mysterious state earlier, he dashed forward and snatched the still-smoking rifle from Hou Yong’s hands.
For the first time in his life, he was no longer numb, but what he gained was utter despair and the coldness of reality.
The shocked patrol members viciously pinned the disspirited Hou Yong to the ground, drenched in cold sweat.
“You idiot! Did you get your brain caught in a door?!”
An enraged team member raised a foot and kicked him hard.
Su Lin watched coldly, not intervening.
Did Hou Yong not deserve that kick? This sudden madness nearly caused a disaster!
As he glanced at the surrounding crowd, seeing their surprised, shocked, and probing gazes, Su Lin felt a headache coming on.
Now, how to… explain?
His gaze shifted to the pair of visitors from Black Scale Village, one fat and one thin.
The fat man’s terrifying, melting, and twisted form resembled a rotting corpse, making Su Lin’s pupils contract sharply.
What kind of sinister cultivation technique is this?!
Su Lin’s expression was as stern as iron.
Earlier, when Hou Yong yelled out “Li Zongxin” toward that thin man, wasn’t that name one of the vice captains of the Black Scale Village search team?
And the protruding-eyed fatty accompanying Li Zongxin, who else could it be besides Zhang Shuo, the leader of Black Scale?
A mysterious light flashed in his eyes, viewing it through “Observation”!
Indeed!
Two from the Tendon Lock Realm! That fatty must be Zhang Shuo without a doubt!
“I have truly long admired your name!”
Su Lin spoke aloud, his voice loud and clear, echoing across the entire marketplace:
“Zhang Shuo, the leader of Black Scale Village, and Li Zongxin, the vice captain! You two entered our Wuyin Village so ostentatiously… surely not on a righteous path, right?”
Hearing this, the whole scene erupted! Countless shocked, disgusted, and even hateful eyes instantly focused on the pair of one fat and one thin.
Zhang Shuo!
This name alone in this wilderness is enough to stop children from crying!
And even more, a nightmare to countless others filled with deep hatred.
Zhang Shuo’s melting face, like dripping wax, was slowly writhing and restoring.
Seeing Su Lin’s miraculous ability to cut the bullet, he no longer maintained that horrifying form, and before long, his protruding-eyed, sharp-toothed fat face reformed.
He looked at Su Lin, a strange light flickering in his odd eyes, answering with a question:
“Who are you?”
Su Lin’s expression was calm, casually cupping his hands:
“Su Family, Su Lin.”
“So it’s you.”
Zhang Shuo examined Su Lin from head to toe with his protruding eyes, a mix of surprise and scrutiny.
To cleave a rifle bullet, and three shots in succession!
This level of skill was entirely beyond his imagination, leaving him momentarily unable to gauge Su Lin’s depth.
A strange, interrupted sound came from his throat:
“Zhong Wubin, spoke of you. Old Su the Undying’s current sole grandson.”
Su Lin’s eyes turned slightly cold.
Zhang Shuo’s next words further caused an uproar among the villagers of Wuyin:
“You say I came in, not through the right path? Wrong. It was Zhong Wubin’s people who brought me in through the village gate.”
Su Lin’s face instantly turned as dark as water.
Zhong Wubin!
Are you really determined to go down a dark path?
Still coveting those few pieces of treasure meat from Black Scale Village?
Even though the threat from Yun Village is gone, they might not need the treasure meat with their current Qi and blood reserves, but wouldn’t they save it to use once their Bone Lock is unlocked? How could they easily give it to you!
Capable of nothing, prone to ruining things! The killing intent in Su Lin’s heart towards Zhong Wubin was boiling like hot water.
“Now, the issue.”
Zhang Shuo’s strange eyes scanned the entire scene, his voice carrying a chilling tone:
“Your people fired a gun in the bustling market, how do you explain this?”
He was evidently no fool. Earlier, when Hou Yong pulled the gun, he could have dodged, yet he chose to take it head-on, not only out of confidence in his defense but also to create a pretense to put Wuyin Village in the spotlight!
The eyes of all the outsiders once again focused on Su Lin. Although they felt the two from Black Scale deserved death, this matter concerned the market’s safety and, more importantly, their own interests.
Many people had flickering eyes, with a sense of watching a drama.
From the moment the incident occurred, Su Lin’s mind had been racing, and now he had made up his mind.
His gaze was as sharp as a knife edge, and his voice suddenly rose, full of righteous indignation:
“Explanation? Why should our Wuyin Village explain to you?! Shouldn’t it be you, Zhang Shuo, who needs to explain?!”
“Hmm?” Zhang Shuo was taken aback.
“Me? Explain?” A trace of astonishment flashed in his protruding eyes.
The surrounding crowd was also bewildered.
Your people fired guns, yet you want others to explain?
Su Lin stood with his arms behind his back, his voice like a giant bell, echoing in the market:
“How many unspeakable atrocities has your Black Scale committed until now?! Shouldn’t you be explaining to all the survivors of the wilderness?!
“Cannibalism, even beasts wouldn’t do such a thing! Such vicious acts are infuriating to both humans and gods!
“How many camps and villages here have fallen victim to the venomous hands of your Black Scale Village?!
“And how many people’s dear friends and relatives have you cruelly devoured like livestock?!”
Wuyin Village had indeed lost its moral high ground, but since Black Scale Village was no good either, Su Lin directly threw the fitting allegations at them.
Once the accusations were made, things became easier to handle.
Sure enough, as his words fell, many outsiders in the market changed their expressions dramatically, with deep-seated hatred surging in their eyes.
Some who were already hostile to Black Scale secretly gripped their weapons tighter.
The Wuyin Village patrol instantaneously became nervous, afraid the situation would spiral into a bloody chaos.
“At this point, you’re being avenged because you brought it upon yourselves — a consequence of your own actions!
“Our Wuyin Village never welcomed you wolves, yet you two tricked Zhong Wubin with sweet talk, infiltrated our village, and even flaunted around the market, inviting revenge from aggrieved parties, almost endangering the innocent here!
“And you have the gall to demand an explanation from our Wuyin Village?! It’s utterly ridiculous!”
Every word from Su Lin was like a knife, redirecting the conflict entirely towards Black Scale.
The numerous evil deeds of Black Scale Village had long made them the common enemy of the wilderness, only lingering due to mutual suspicion and restraint among the other villages.
At this moment, stirred by Su Lin’s words, though knowing he’s diverting attention, no one refuted him.
Compared to Wuyin Village, Black Scale’s wickedness was even more teeth-grindingly hateful!
Zhang Shuo’s throat emitted strange “huh-huh” sounds, his bulging eyes wide open.
Clearly, he was the one shot, yet he was being rebuked head-on by Su Lin. Is there any law left?!
Seeing no one around come to his aid, he stared at Su Lin and said:
“I’ve long heard Zhong Wubin say you have a sharp tongue. Indeed, impressive.”
“There’s absolutely no need to drag Zhong Wubin’s name into this!”
Su Lin abruptly stopped him, his voice even louder, as if he was the one wronged, shouting:
“After this, my Su Family will definitely hold him accountable! We will question how he, the leader of Wuyin Village, manages things!”
He knew that merely accusing might lead to reprisals later.
At this moment, he needed something even more shocking to divert the attention of other villages, making them unable to focus on this matter and stop persisting.
Su Lin’s declaration to hold Zhong Wubin accountable caused an instant uproar in the market!
Hold Zhong Wubin accountable?!
Wuyin Village… is this a complete falling out, publicly showing internal conflict?!
And Su Lin’s ensuing words struck like thunder, leaving everyone stunned:
“As for your Black Scale Village?! Today, as Su Lin, I declare here!
“Under Miss Song’s lead, within seven days, my Su Family will avenge all the innocent souls brutally slain by your Black Scale Village!
“By then, we will flatten Black Scale, take Zhang Shuo’s head, to honor the dead!”
Hou Yong, pinned hard to the ground, suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Su Lin, filled with extreme shock and disbelief.
Wuyin Village…
No!
The Su Family!
Su Lin actually represents the Su Family, defiantly declaring war on the infamous Black Scale Village?!
The entire market fell into a dead silence. All Wuyin villagers and external visitors believed Su Lin had gone mad!
Openly challenging the Black Scale Village, which allegedly still has four Tendon Lock experts?!
Few knew of Zhou Song’s death; at this point, nearly everyone thought Black Scale Village still had four Tendon Locks.
Across the road, Song Yiren, dressed in an ancient costume, had a trace of a helpless, bitter smile on her exquisite face as she whispered to herself:
“They really are afraid this little woman would run away.”
