Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold - Chapter 252: Cannibal Race
Niu Wangchun’s face was full of reluctance and confusion!
He stared at Lin Lang and asked:
“How did you discover something was wrong?”
Lin Lang’s gaze remained calm as water; he smiled slightly and only uttered two words:
“You guess?”
He didn’t reveal the truth to Niu Wangchun because some things were unnecessary for the enemy to know.
Actually, being able to detect the crisis in time this time was all thanks to Lü Su Ran’s awakened Spirit Heart Ability!
On the way, Lü Su Ran noticed the abnormality of the little girl—
Why would such a small child dare to go out alone to pick mushrooms and forage? There must be something fishy behind this!
So, she quietly used the Mind Reading Technique, wanting to find out more.
Unexpectedly!
She heard a chilling plan!
The little girl’s inner voice was:
“Trick these people back to the base so Uncle Niu can boil them into soup, that way everyone won’t have to go hungry for a few days!”
After Lü Su Ran heard this, she was shocked and immediately informed Lin Lang of the situation.
However, Lin Lang didn’t seem panicked.
In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are futile.
Even if Lü Su Ran hadn’t alerted him, there was no worry about seeing through these people’s true nature.
Regarding his current Physical Strength!
Standing there without moving, even if these people used knives, probably the blades would dull and not harm him a bit!
Even if he jumped into the pot himself, even if boiled for three days and nights, they absolutely couldn’t chew his skin!
Therefore, in the face of such a crisis, Lin Lang could still remain calm and composed.
Because he had sufficient strength!
To handle any sudden situation!
…
“Spare us, sir!”
“We’re just trying to survive!”
Facing everyone’s begging, Lin Lang gave no response.
His gaze was cold, as if it could penetrate a person’s heart and stare directly at their soul.
He asked in a deep voice:
“Have you eaten a lot of people?”
A trace of pride flashed across Niu Wangchun’s face; he thought he was displaying his survival wisdom:
“Hmph! We have boundaries; we only eat outsiders, never our own!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Lang couldn’t help but feel speechless.
He laughed coldly, sarcastically saying:
“Then I should give you an award!”
Niu Wangchun’s expression slightly changed, but soon returned to calm.
He defended:
“We’re doing it just to survive! It’s the apocalypse, eating people is nothing!”
But Lin Lang couldn’t be bothered to debate meaningless principles.
He directly got to the point, asking:
“Is there another survivor base nearby? Where is the highest combat power and what level is it?”
Niu Wangchun, feeling Lin Lang’s powerful aura, no longer dared to hide anything.
He honestly answered:
“We’re just a small base on the outskirts. There’s a big base in the center of Qingfeng City with many experts! Their strength is unfathomable, absolutely beyond what small bases like ours can compare to.”
Lin Lang nodded, continuing to ask:
“And where is this big base?”
Niu Wangchun pointed into the distance:
“It’s easy to find! Just go that way, until you reach a place without blood mist, that’s it!”
Upon hearing this, a glimmer flashed in Lin Lang’s eyes—
That big base was undoubtedly a place worth exploring.
Maybe there’d be some unexpected gains inside!
…
Lin Lang nodded.
He glanced again at this large group of people before him, totaling more than thirty, containing men, women, young and old alike!
All with faces full of fear and despair.
Lü Su Ran softly asked Lin Lang:
“What about these people?”
Lin Lang remained silent; his eyes were deep and complex.
Feeling the intense killing intent emanating from Lin Lang, this group of people fell to their knees, begging for mercy.
Their voices were filled with fear and helplessness!
As if at this moment, their lives no longer belonged to themselves.
Yet.
Among this group, Niu Wangchun stepped forward.
He gritted his teeth and said resolutely:
“The idea of eating people was mine! I was the one who did it before!”
“If you’re going to kill, kill me!”
“Many of them here are innocent.”
Lin Lang remained silent, his heart a little hesitant—
He already knew that these people had crossed the line of human nature for survival, eating their kind.
From a moral and legal perspective, they undoubtedly should be judged!
But Lin Lang also knew that he wasn’t the embodiment of justice and had no right to judge others.
He might not even represent justice!
In this apocalyptic world, survival became the only law, and morals and ethics seemed to become obscure.
Eating people was undoubtedly extremely atrocious, violating the most basic moral baseline of humanity.
Lin Lang understood this very well; deep down, he did not want these people to continue to sink into such cruel behavior.
Otherwise!
As time went by, they might gradually lose their humanity and completely become demons of cannibalism.
Worse, if this behavior isn’t effectively stopped and guided, it might even give rise to a new Cannibal Race!
Bringing greater disaster to this world!
However!
Lin Lang didn’t have much energy or time to guide or educate them deeply.
Ultimately.
Lin Lang took a deep breath.
And said slowly:
“I won’t kill you, but I won’t let you go either. You’ve already eaten people, that’s an unchangeable fact. But I also won’t judge you…”
His words were filled with twists and turns.
Those people’s hearts were also up and down!
…
In Lin Lang’s heart, he had the thought to kill.
Kill them all?
Yet, looking at the weak and infirm among them, he couldn’t really do it.
The end times.
It’s already a world where humans eat humans!
Lin Lang could at most stop himself from eating people, but he couldn’t control others.
So then…
Killing a few as a warning?
It also seemed meaningless.
Actually!
Right now, he most wanted to kill was that mushroom-picking little girl!
Because he had just saved her!
Yet she repaid kindness with hostility!
Such behavior was even more egregious than cannibalism!
Just that!
Lin Lang’s eyes were calm as he waved his hand, and many supplies appeared out of thin air—
Only compressed biscuits and purified water, these supplies weren’t many, enough to last these people about seven days!
“Niu Wangchun, since you honestly admitted that proposing the cruel idea of cannibalism was yours, then you bear this responsibility!”
Lin Lang’s voice was firm and forceful, each word seemed to carry an irresistible power.
At this moment!
Lin Lang decided to adopt an unprecedented means to stop this heinous crime—
He slowly closed his eyes, taking a deep breath!
Then unleashed his Divine Sense!
This force like an invisible torrent, instantly poured into Niu Wangchun’s sea of consciousness!
…
In the chaotic and confused depths of Niu Wangchun’s thoughts!
Lin Lang seemed like an invisible sculptor.
He used the subtle power of his Divine Sense, beginning to carve out a brand-new belief in Niu Wangchun’s mind—
From now on!
We can never eat people again!
But must live by another more civilized way!
Anyone who violates this rule!
Cannot be forgiven!
…
This belief, like an indestructible mental seal, became deeply imprinted in Niu Wangchun’s brain.
Constantly echoing and reinforcing in Niu Wangchun’s consciousness!
Until it became an irresistable principle in his heart!
When Lin Lang finished this, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze revealing a sense of profoundness and firmness.
He looked at Niu Wangchun.
The latter seemed to have experienced a baptism of the soul!
His eyes glowed with unprecedented light!
