I Never Intended to Let Him Live

"I didn't! You're lying! You beast in human skin, you want to kill me!" The man screamed and cursed with all his might.

He was terrified—terrified that he would end up like the man whose body had been chopped apart. They had all been deceived, all played by Xiao Yunfei. He actually wanted to kill them one by one!

Xiao Yunfei sneered, casting a pitying glance at the crazed man before turning to Chu Han. "See? He's gone mad."

Chu Han's expression was cold, mockery glinting in his eyes. "Kill him?"

Those two words instantly silenced the noisy scene.

The man collapsed onto the floor in despair and burst into maniacal laughter. His mind had already begun to break.

"That's right!" Xiao Yunfei nodded excitedly, emphasizing his words. "You don't know this, but being bitten or scratched by zombies causes infection. This man is delirious and even ate human flesh. He'll definitely turn into a zombie. I've seen this situation plenty of times, so he has to die! How about this? I know a lot—let me join you."

Deep down, Xiao Yunfei considered himself highly intelligent, someone capable of noticing things others did not. He still thought so now, instinctively assuming that Chu Han and the others knew nothing about the secrets of zombies and would be easy to fool. After all, everything Chu Han had displayed before this had been the behavior of a brainless brute.

With a certain air of superiority, Xiao Yunfei looked expectantly at Chu Han. He had given them such valuable information—they would surely value him now, right?

Chu Han's smile widened. He truly had not expected that after being reborn, he would encounter such an unbelievably weak Xiao Yunfei. The Xiao Yunfei before him was worlds apart from the one he had met in his previous life, to the point that Chu Han could not even summon the desire to torment him.

"Tch! Idiot!" Eighteen shot Xiao Yunfei a thoroughly rude sidelong glance. "Brother Chu Han already knew. Did anyone need you to say it?"

Xiao Yunfei's face suddenly twisted viciously. That wild little brat again. He wanted to tear this girl apart and eat her, starting from between her legs, and feed whatever he could not finish to the zombies!

Chu Han did not miss the fleeting vicious expression on Xiao Yunfei's face, but he did not care. He had experienced too much; many things could no longer stir his emotions. He casually sat on the bed, took out some instant food from his bag, and divided it into two portions. If they conserved it, each portion could last two days.

"This is for you. Keep it." He handed the two portions of food to the two men who had originally followed Xiao Yunfei. His voice was calm and devoid of emotion, and every movement carried the air of someone who had seen through life's greatest truths.

Chu Han's actions were abrupt, leaving everyone in the room somewhat stunned. Shang Jiudi and Eighteen were especially taken aback.

"You're not going to kill me?" The man Xiao Yunfei had restrained and nearly driven mad looked at him in disbelief. "You believe me? I wasn't infected!"

"I can make my own judgment." Chu Han's voice was flat, forming a stark contrast with the excited man across from him. At the same time, it was another slap across Xiao Yunfei's face.

He could make his own judgment. He did not need Xiao Yunfei's reminders, and he knew more than anyone else. Whether it was his understanding of zombies or information about how the apocalyptic era would develop in the future, no one understood it more deeply than he did.

"Exactly! Brother Chu Han knows a lot. He doesn't need you chirping away here!" Eighteen eagerly added another jab at Xiao Yunfei.

Xiao Yunfei felt his dignity being trampled once more, and rage surged uncontrollably in his heart. These people had been targeting him all along! If Chu Han had not had a gun, he would have wanted to hack this kid to death. Fear and unwillingness coexisted within him, showing signs of driving him toward a mental breakdown.

"Y-you're willing to take us in?" The two men looked at Chu Han expectantly. They wanted to eat their fill, wanted protection, and did not want to keep living in fear. They had completely forgotten that, before receiving the food Chu Han gave them, they had nearly fled in panic.

Ignoring Xiao Yunfei's icy gaze, Chu Han calmly and coldly looked at the two hopeful men before him. "I won't take you in either. The food is merely a little help from one fellow human to another."

Then he spoke again, his eyes carrying a frightening warning. "Don't eat your own kind. Don't eat people. Otherwise, you'll definitely regret it someday."

The faces of the three men, including Xiao Yunfei, changed again. They had eaten human flesh. The psychological burden had been so great that it had nearly driven them insane, but they had indeed eaten it. That was a fact that could not be changed.

Either they continued drowning in guilt until they drove themselves mad, or they became utterly depraved thugs and continued eating human flesh.

In his previous life, Xiao Yunfei had chosen the latter.

Watching the two men turn pale from fright, Chu Han narrowed his eyes slightly. "You can leave now."

Those words delighted Xiao Yunfei. Chu Han was telling those two men to leave, but he had not told him to go. Didn't that mean he could stay? Wonderful! There was food and women here—it was practically paradise!

Xiao Yunfei made no effort to hide his pleasure. He sat down without the slightest courtesy, settling into a comfortable position on the soft bed. His gaze began to roam brazenly over the members of the group, as if assessing the value of merchandise.

He hated this little girl the most. Who knew what backwater she had come from? He would find a chance to kill her.

This fat guy was a little stupid, but he obeyed Chu Han completely. He was a ticking time bomb. Xiao Yunfei would see if he could fool him; if not, he would kill him too.

As for Chu Han—heh! Once they reached Shi City, Chu Han would have no value left anyway. He would make sure to torment this man properly for daring to lay hands on him!

The two men saw Xiao Yunfei's behavior and immediately felt unwilling to accept it. Why could Xiao Yunfei stay while they could not?

"Brother Chu, let me stay! I'll work like a horse for you!"

"Please, Brother Chu, help me!"

"No." Chu Han was resolute. He would not take in survivors who had eaten human flesh.

"What about him?!" One of them angrily pointed at Xiao Yunfei. "Why can he stay?!"

"Heh!" Xiao Yunfei sneered, about to say, "I'm not useless trash like you," when Chu Han's next words abruptly changed his expression.

"Him? I never intended to let him live." Chu Han's smile was faint, but his tone allowed no doubt, as though Xiao Yunfei were already dead.

Whoosh! Xiao Yunfei shot to his feet, his eyes bloodshot with rage.

"What did you say?!" he roared in disbelief. "Weren't you going to take me in?"

"When did I ever say I would take you in?" Chu Han suddenly found himself in an excellent mood. He looked playfully at Xiao Yunfei, whose expression resembled that of a clown. "Mm, you just asked what I said? Fine, I'll say it again. I said—"
