Chapter 1029: Chapter 1014: Robbing the Robbers (5)

Two floors, four rooms, three already searched, now only the last room remains unexplored.

To ensure the safety of relocating supplies, this last room must be thoroughly checked.

According to the earring man’s explanation, the last room holds two women.

This poses no threat, of course, but cautious Old Xu still followed standard tactics by placing the earring man at the forefront.

"Open the door!"

Since the door was already open, the earring man merely gave a gentle pull and the door swung open.

Following standard procedure, a tactical sweep was conducted; shortly after, Old Xu and Lei Tong discovered the two women the earring man had mentioned.

The women lay on a bed, their hands and feet securely fastened to the bedhead.

Undoubtedly, this was a measure by the earring man’s group to prevent the two from committing suicide or escaping.

Seeing the scattered tissues and paper scraps on the ground, Old Xu didn’t need to ask to imagine the inhuman abuses the women had suffered.

"Smack! Bang! Clang!" With a powerful punch, Old Xu delivered a solid blow to the earring man’s belly like a monkey gouging out its heart.

The punch forced the earring man to bend over, hunching his back, his mouth crooked, eyes bulging like light bulbs, radiating terrifying horror.

Blood spewed forth uncontrollably, and the earring man collapsed, clutching his belly.

"Ow, ow, big brother, you, don’t hit me anymore, I’ve done... whatever you asked me to do. Please spare me a way out. If you need anything else, just say the word. As long as I can do it, oh, no, as long as you ask, I’ll make it happen for you."

Facing threats of life and death, all dignity and will are worthless.

Especially for those like the scoundrels before them, who usually rely on their numbers and weapons to form gangs and ravage or bully lone or weaker survivors.

But confronted with a formidable figure like Old Xu, they immediately wilt like frost-bitten cabbage.

Don’t mention clamoring; they didn’t even dare to make the simplest rebuttals.

The earring man now only hopes this master before him will spare his dog’s life for providing so many supplies.

If the earring man weren’t useful later, Old Xu would have loved to bleed this scoundrel now and throw him to the Zombies outside.

Beast! He’s a beast through and through!

Are Zombies vile? Yes, they are! But their actions are involuntary! They’re merely virus carriers, ultimately victims; they’re not to blame. Truth be told, the real issue is that current medicine isn’t advanced enough to provide a cure for these pitiful living dead.

But the scoundrel like the earring man is different; they, as humans, engage in acts lower than pigs and dogs.

It’s imaginable that the supplies stored upstairs were surely stained with the blood of other survivors.

So, at this moment if you ask Old Xu whom he hates more, Zombies or the earring man’s group.

Old Xu would unquestionably tell you: he hates the earring man’s group more!

A person is human because he has a soul.

If someone loses his soul, he’ll only become a living beast.

Clearly, the earring man’s group has abandoned their human souls in exchange for a deal with Demons.

And for these Demons, Old Xu understood a truth after numerous tribulations.

Patience and avoidance don’t solve problems; since this world has neither law nor morality, let him, a former National Guardian, exercise the power of judgment.

Indeed! Old Xu has resolved to wipe out these villains.

In past years, any target locked onto by the Sharp Blade Company never survived.

But before that...

Looking at the two women lying on the bed, pallid and lifeless, Old Xu let out a heavy sigh and immediately signaled Lei Tong: "Lei, go and untie them."

Upon receiving the order, Lei Tong walked to the bedside where the women lay, but the two women showed no reaction to Lei Tong’s arrival.

They simply lay there, eyes void of any spark, and anyone unaware might mistake them for two corpses.

With his knife out, Lei Tong carefully cut the restraints binding the women’s wrists.

The bindings were tightly knotted by the earring man’s group; to avoid injuring the women’s arms, Lei Tong painstakingly worked to cut through.

Once all was cut, Lei Tong could clearly see the red welts left on the women’s bound wrists.

However, Lei Tong understood that compared to this physical pain, the torment of the mind was the most despairing.

Old Xu slowly approached, the two women, appearing no older than 18 or 19, were in the prime of youth when they should be enjoying life’s brightest moments at school.

But unexpectedly, they became playthings for a group of beasts seeking release.

"Don’t be afraid, we’re not bad people." With utmost gentleness in his words, Old Xu shed his earlier fierceness for a brotherly warmth like that of a neighbor.

Seeing Old Xu behave this way, the earring man was dumbfounded.

What the hell is going on! This man really knows how to play people! Before me he’s like a tiger, pretending to be a sheep in front of those women!!

Sadly, Old Xu’s gentleness didn’t elicit any response; the women stared blankly at him, without any sign of life in their eyes.

This is the gaze of resignation, a look Old Xu is all too familiar with.

In past enemy occupied warzones, he’d seen countless gazes like these, void of hope for life.

After returning home, such memories never failed to make him sigh wistfully.

Seeing the women’s vacant stare, Old Xu’s anger grew even fiercer.

But considering the significant matters ahead, he clenched his fist, suppressing the urge to slaughter the earring man.

"Where are their clothes?" Through gritted teeth, Old Xu struggled to suppress his anger, but the murderous aura still conveyed the chilling cold from Hell to the earring man.

He hesitated for a couple seconds, frantically searching around but found not a single article of clothing.

Indeed, how could there be clothes in this room? The women’s clothes were torn to shreds by these animals on the first day of their capture.

Damn it! Seeing there’s no usable clothing, the earring man truly panicked, he stammered, struggling to explain, "Th-that, big-big brother, they-they usually sleep on the bed, so-so we didn’t-didn’t arrange for spare clothes for them."

Is that supposed to be a human response!?

Old Xu finally ran out of patience, stepping forward and striking the earring man’s face with another punch.

"Bang!" Accompanied by a miserable shriek, the earring man’s remaining teeth were knocked out.

"B-big brother, th-the downstairs probably has clothes, I-I’ll go fetch them for you downstairs."

Kicking the earring man again, Old Xu turned to the bedroom’s chest of drawers, casually opening them, and found a neatly arranged row of clothes inside.

This was a residence, so naturally, there wouldn’t be a shortage of clothes inside.

Fortunately, this room wasn’t a single man’s apartment; Old Xu found several garments of feminine styles. (To be continued.
