Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 954: 954: Punishing Li Yushan

Chapter 954: Chapter 954: Punishing Li Yushan

“If you really caused this, then why do you need to feed these mutant trees with living people? Shouldn’t your wood element ability be enough to maintain the mutant trees?”

Su Jin hit the nail on the head, and even those who trusted Li Yushan were momentarily stunned.

Using living people to nourish mutant trees, as Li Yushan’s acknowledged subordinates, they were privy to the truth. Li Yushan only said it was a better defense against zombies. Now being pointed out, they realized something was off.

“Everyone’s special ability is different; you don’t understand.”

Li Yushan immediately explained as everyone around him showed skeptical expressions.

After all, the mutant trees were already destroyed by the Heart Talk Team. Even if he were to die today, he wanted to die with some dignity.

“Xiao Jin, there are people who refuse to admit guilt. No matter how many facts and evidence you lay in front of them, it’s useless. At this time, you need something to punish them. In the past, it was law; now…”

Lu Hao indicated that he could see Li Yushan would never admit it.

“Right, why waste words on him? We’re busy here.”

Lin Xiuyuan pointed to those behind him who were unconscious.

“I understand.”

Su Jin stopped being polite. Since Wei Jinghang called them devil’s seeds, let these people have a taste then.

A red fruit encasing the seed floated in mid-air. Li Yushan watched the seed fly towards him and wanted to control it with his ability, but the seed didn’t respond at all. Each one was like a bullet, piercing through their skin directly.

Hu Wenbin’s pupils contracted tightly. Had they really been deceived by Li Yushan all this time?

“This is how you sow with wood element ability.”

Su Jin said.

Mutated saplings grew from various parts of Li Yushan and the others’ bodies, and screams continued one after another.

“So terrifying.”

Li Hui, who was behind Wei Jinghang, said.

It was their first time seeing mutated plants grow so quickly from a human body. Would the seeds inside their bodies do the same?

Seeing everyone around looking at her with fearful eyes, Su Jin knew what they were worried about.

“Everyone, don’t worry. The seeds inside your bodies are different from theirs. I will remove them for you later.”

Su Jin explained.

The seeds inside Wei Jinghang and others existed in a parasitic form, slowly consuming the human body. They were fundamentally different from the mutant trees she controlled and nurtured.

“Li Hui, you guys can rest assured, the parasitic seeds inside me and Xiao Guan have already been removed by Captain Su of the Heart Talk Team.”

Wei Jinghang also told the onlookers, reassuring them temporarily.

“How many people did you harm before?”

Lin Xiuyuan asked as he walked next to Li Yushan, who was trapped under a tree.

“None of your… business!”

Li Yushan replied with difficulty. Since he was destined to die, he only wished for death now.

“We deceived over 220 people in total. Fifty-seven people remain in the camp.”

A man next to Hu Wenbin answered.

After he answered Lin Xiuyuan’s question, he felt the piercing pain on his back suddenly disappear, and the heavy pressure on his body vanished instantly.

“Hmm, you speak up. As long as the information you provide is sufficient, we will release you.”

Su Jin said to the man.

Liu Zhi was that man. Hearing Su Jin’s words, he was overjoyed.

He stayed here simply for the freedom it offered, never imagining he’d risk his life for it. Now with a chance in front of him, what reason did he have to withhold information?

So, in front of everyone, Liu Zhi revealed all he knew about Li Yushan, including when the previous group of over 100 people died.

“Once digested by the mutated trees, not a single bone would be left, so many believed those people had been let go. In fact, they were already eaten…”

Liu Zhi watched Su Jin’s reaction as he spoke, not just Su Jin and her family, but many around them trembled with anger.

It turned out they had been considered food for mutated plants from the beginning, yet they were still working for him. Even female team members were sent to serve his people by Li Yushan!

“Kill him!”

A stone was hurled at Li Yushan. Caught off guard, his head was hit and started bleeding profusely. Even Hu Wenbin and others got implicated as more people vented their anger by various means.

“Looks like we don’t need to step in.”

Su Jin turned and headed inside the house. Xiao Cui had just consumed seven crystal cores from mutant trees, and now her wood element ability was about to explode; she needed to use it.

Looking at the 23 people on the ground, Su Jin, in front of Wei Jinghang and a few others, directly bound them with 23 wooden vines and began to use her wood element ability to comb and heal their bodies.

“What I’m doing is just a temporary measure. Their bodies will need careful nurturing later, or recovery will be difficult.”

Su Jin said.

“Nurturing, how?”

Wei Jinghang asked. Forget nurturing; he would willingly shed blood for his teammates now.

“Dietary supplements, and plenty of rest.”

Su Jin answered. It would be great if Lin Tianhui were here, as she could prescribe some herbal medicinal recipes.

“Captain, rest is no problem, but dietary supplements… Our supplies have all been withheld by Li Yushan.”

Li Hui said angrily.

“Withheld, just snatch them back, right?”

Lin Xiuyuan looked at the people inside the house and smiled.

…

Several hours later, everyone in the camp, in front of Li Yushan and his crew, who were barely breathing, moved out all the supplies and crystal cores from his house.

Li Yushan didn’t trust space element ability users, so all the supplies and crystal cores were stored in his residence.

Now, Li Yushan, Hu Wenbin, and others watched as their hard-earned possessions were taken away, making them even angrier.

“Pah! What Heart Talk Team! You’re just bandits!”

Hu Wenbin cursed.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiuyuan laughed: “How amusing, you lead us to divide your leader’s belongings, hahaha.”

Whoosh~

Li Yushan spat out a mouthful of blood, watching helplessly as those people retrieved their rightful supplies, while Su Jin and others generously left the remaining supplies to those people…

“C-Captain, are Xiao Guan and the others alright?”

Wang Chan emerged from somewhere, awkwardly addressing Wei Jinghang.

“Wang Chan, I think we are no longer teammates.”

Wei Jinghang looked at Wang Chan with disgust. After aligning with Li Yushan, she revealed all their team details to him, including assets and supplies.

“Captain Wei, Li Hui, I was wrong. Please let me rejoin. I had no choice…”

Wang Chan pleaded with a fearful and worried look about being abandoned, moving some people’s hearts. But recalling the past events, Li Hui still pushed her away.
