Chapter 289 Zombie King (9)
Chapter 289 Zombie King (9)
Due to the turmoil just now, many people took advantage of the opportunity to escape, and now there are only a few hundred people left. Lu Changqing gave an order and the crowd quickly dispersed.
The brave ones did not return to their homes, but hid far away and watched the situation in the square.
Lu Changqing manipulated the vines to pull an unconscious male mutant in front of him and slapped him twice, but the other party did not move and continued to pretend to be dead.
The system sent a message: "I will count to three. If you don't open your eyes, you will be immediately sent to be fed to the zombies."
"one……"
"three!"
The man opened his eyes, his cheeks red and swollen, looking aggrieved, "You haven't counted to two yet!"
Lu Changqing raised his hand and slapped him twice, "Did I say one, two, three? One, three, five is not okay?"
The man was beaten but did not get angry. He looked at Lu Changqing with a flattering face and said humbly, "Leader, do you want to ask me any questions? Please feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know."
"Want to live?"
The man nodded hastily.
"Okay! Let me ask you where Huang Mian and the others are most likely to run to?"
The man didn't expect the first question to be so difficult. How could he, a marginal figure, know the escape route of the leadership?
"Leader, how about you change the question?"
Lu Changqing pointed at the people still lying on the ground and asked, "Who among them is closest to Huang Mian?"
The man pointed at the only woman among the group and said, "She is the lover of one of Huang Mian's capable men. You can ask her."
"lover?"
The man couldn't hide his pride in his tone, "Leader, you don't know, here, people with special abilities, especially those in leadership positions, can have many women."
"What about female psychics? Can they have lots of men?"
"In theory, it's possible, but..." The man hesitated, "But the supplies of our base are in the hands of Huang Mian and his men, and the leadership is almost all men. Those female psychics can't just follow them to survive."
"You also know that this is nonsense?" Lu Changqing showed disdain, "How many women do you have?"
"Not many, only two fixed ones."
"Did they follow you willingly, or were they forced by you?"
The man was not stupid. Even if the person standing opposite him was not a human but a zombie, he knew that he must not admit his crime at this time.
"Of course they volunteered. They need survival and shelter. I provide them with supplies, and they provide me with...emotional value..."
Facing Lu Changqing's murderous gaze, the man's voice became lower and lower.
"How old are you? What job did you do before the apocalypse?"
The man stammered, "I am 985 years old this year. Before the end of the world, I was a college student at a university."
Lu Changqing snorted, "It's a 985 university. Your school is really lucky to have a student like you. Your parents spent so much money on your education, how come they raised a beast like you?"
The man was so frightened by the axe that suddenly appeared in Lu Changqing's hand that he struggled non-stop, begging for mercy, "Leader! King! Boss! Did I do something wrong? Don't kill me, please! I have superpowers, I can help you manage the base! I will be obedient! I can work like a slave for you! Please don't kill me..."
With one blow of the axe, there was instant silence.
Lu Changqing stretched out her hand, and the vines wrapped around the crystal core in the man's head and placed it in her hand. After absorbing the energy of the crystal core, she looked at the remaining four people who were still pretending to be dead and ordered, "Stop pretending! Open your eyes!"
Three people opened their eyes and looked at Lu Changqing with fear and panic.
Lu Changqing walked up to the man who still had his eyes closed. His eyelashes were trembling, and he seemed to have woken up.
"You don't understand what I'm saying, right?" Lu Changqing raised the axe in his hand and smashed it towards the other person's head without blinking, "Then go and be a ghost!"
The man opened his eyes suddenly, but it was too late.
With a bang, the man's head was hit and dented, and blood mixed with brain matter splattered on the faces of the other people.
Lu Changqing held the crystal core in the man's brain and asked the remaining four people in not very standard Mandarin: "Where did Huang Mian go?"
“I don’t know!” The short-haired man looked at the female psychic with a low ponytail and said in panic: “Zhou Wen is Yang Chong’s lover. Yang Chong ran away with Huang Mian. She should know!”
Lu Changqing raised the axe to Zhou Wen's ear, the threat was self-evident.
Zhou Wen stared at Lu Changqing hatefully, uttering four words, "I don't know!"
Lu Changqing tilted his head, "You really don't know?"
Zhou Wen stiffened her neck and said, "I don't know."
Lu Changqing nodded and smiled, "You don't think they will come back to save you, do you? Your man didn't even call you when he ran away, and you're not his only woman, why do you think he will come back to save you?"
Zhou Wen snorted, "It's no use trying to sow discord. I really don't know where they went."
Lu Changqing made a gesture of invitation to the three people, "Please leave. You are not welcome here."
Zhou Wen said in disbelief: "There are zombies everywhere outside, and you're actually going to chase us away?"
The other two men had the same expression, staring at Lu Changqing with a look that said "Are you kidding me?"
"My temple is too small to accommodate someone who is disobedient, useless, and has two minds."
The little flat-headed boy actively expressed himself, "I am a superpower, I can kill zombies."
Lu Changqing: “Hmm?”
The bald guy reacted and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a wind-type mutant, I can... I can..."
As the guy with the flat head was talking, he suddenly got stuck.
Crazy! What else can wind-based abilities do besides killing zombies?
Lu Changqing looked at the other man, who shuddered and said, "I'm a power-type mutant. I'm very strong and can help move the supplies."
Lu Changqing curled his lips. The superpowers of both of them were useless. Only Zhou Wen's water-related superpowers were somewhat useful.
"You can stay if you want, but this base doesn't belong to me alone. It belongs to everyone. I think we should let everyone in the base vote together."
Lu Changqing pointed to the number three with his fingers, "Three options, one is to let you stay alive, two is to execute you on the spot, and three is to let you go and fend for yourself. Everyone in the base can only vote once. It's time to show your favorability in everyone's eyes."
When the three heard this, their faces turned even paler.
These people with special abilities rely on their status to exploit ordinary people in the base on a daily basis. Let alone letting them stay alive, even voting to let them go and let them fend for themselves would be a heart of a bodhisattva.
Lu Changqing turned around and waved to the crowd of people watching the fun in the distance, motioning them to come over.
Soon, a crowd gathered in the square again.
Lu Changqing stated the purpose of asking them to come, and then announced the voting rules.
The votes of the three people were all ahead on the option of "execution on the spot".
Lu Changqing took the book from Zhao Huimin and looked at the voting results in surprise. He turned around and asked, "What kind of wicked thing did Zhou Wen do? There are more people who want her to die than the other two men!"
Zhao Huimin looked at Zhou Wen resentfully, pointed at her and said angrily: "This woman, in order to please Yang Chong and Huang Mian, helps those male superpowers to harm the women in the base. The 'Shuiyunjian' in the base was opened by this woman!"
Lu Changqing didn't need to ask, just by looking at Zhao Huimin's attitude, he could roughly guess what Shuiyunjian was.
In order to live more comfortably under the control of men, she pushes others into hell with her own hands.
Lu Changqing admires the psychological quality of this kind of people. They are strong, cruel, and immoral.
