Thunderous Suppression

"Young Master Yu, the country will definitely Rescue us. We should work with the people here..."

"Enough!" Yu Chang roared. "Don't you understand yet? It's not just Zombies here—Zombies have appeared everywhere!"

"No communication, no Rescue!"

After roaring for a while, Yu Chang adjusted his glasses and approached Wu Lei with a cold expression, baseball bat in hand.

"Are you going to talk?"

"I'll talk!"

A sharp shout drew everyone's attention.

The one who shouted was not Wu Lei, but Jiang Yang, who stood at the entrance.

This floor had been renovated, and its specially reinforced entrance was difficult to open.

Fortunately, Jiang Yang had been cautious enough to create a hidden passage that could only be unlocked by his own pupil.

"It's you!"

Yu Chang narrowed his eyes. At the same time, more than a dozen young men stepped forward, crossbows in hand.

"Brother Jiang, they repaid kindness with enmity and took over our territory. That guy is the leader."

On the way here, Ye Qingwei had already given Jiang Yang a rough account of the situation.

Now that she saw Yu Chang, even she was filled with rage. She had helped them out of kindness, only to be bitten back.

Of the more than forty people who had taken over this place, half were from Linjiang University and the other half were nearby residents. It was obvious that Yu Chang was their leader.

Jiang Yang nodded and looked past Yu Chang and the others toward Wu Lei. When he saw Wu Lei's miserable state, a trace of killing intent flashed through his eyes.

Just then, a middle-aged woman stepped out from among the forty-odd people opposite them.

"My name is Liu Ping. My husband works at the provincial government compound. His surname is An." A curly-haired middle-aged woman walked up to Jiang Yang, briefly showing off her connections before pointing at her group. "Young man, isn't it a little inappropriate for you to monopolize such a large space?"

"After all, the situation is special now. Everyone should help each other. We should unite and get through this together..."

Before Liu Ping could finish, Jiang Yang interrupted, "Cut the crap. Tell me—who touched my brother?"

He did not waste words with them. He directly drew his blade and swept his cold gaze over the crowd.

Liu Ping, however, remained unconcerned and scolded, "What kind of upbringing do you have, young man? You haven't even looked into what caused this..."

"Fuck your mother!" Jiang Yang roared. "Anyone uninvolved, get the hell out right now. I won't pursue it. But anyone who laid a hand on my brother stays behind!"

Jiang Yang's actions deeply moved Wu Lei. Especially those words—my brother—they even made him feel a little ashamed.

He was clearly supposed to be the hired muscle, yet he had ended up needing his employer to save him.

If there had been a crack in the ground, he would have wanted nothing more than to crawl into it.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yang was secretly delighted, because Wu Lei's loyalty had risen sharply again!

Besides, Wu Lei was the future comrade-in-arms Jiang Yang had personally chosen. Now that these people had beaten him into this state, if Jiang Yang did not chop down a few of them to vent his anger, he would not only be letting himself down—he would also be letting down Ye Fan, who had given him women, a sister, and brothers.

"Get out?"

"You little bastard, do you even know who I am?"

"You don't understand, do you? You want me to spell it out for you?"

Liu Ping's voice turned shrill as she raised her voice, about to launch into a string of curses.

At that moment, Yu Chang, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke. "Sister Liu, don't say anything for now..."

He looked at Jiang Yang and said, "Brother, we were wrong in this matter, but you can't just watch them get bitten to death by Zombies outside, can you?"

"Besides, why do you have so many supplies here?"

"Do you know something about this Apocalypse?"

"Or rather, are you the masterminds behind creating the Zombies and Monsters?"

"Are you from a pharmaceutical company?"

Yu Chang stepped up to Jiang Yang. His voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear.

"You not only have huge amounts of supplies here, but all kinds of weapons and equipment. Even the surrounding walls have been modified."

"You must have known about the Apocalypse in advance! Maybe there's some huge conspiracy behind all this. You're people from a pharmaceutical company, and us ordinary people are all your lab rats!"

Yu Chang stared fixedly at Jiang Yang. The others also looked over, seeming to want an answer from Jiang Yang's face.

He's someone, all right!

With just a few words, he had turned everyone's attention toward Jiang Yang?

Jiang Yang sensed the looks around him, many of them hostile. The strongest hostility came from Yu Chang standing before him.

This man could not be allowed to live!

Behind Jiang Yang, Ye Qingwei and Xiao Wan both wore furious expressions, "Bullshit!"

They had no intention of explaining Jiang Yang's occult reasoning to these people. By this point, they had already seen through them—if someone was determined to accuse you, they would always find an excuse.

These people simply wanted to take this place for themselves.

Yu Chang glanced around at the others. He had already directed everyone's attention toward Jiang Yang, so things would be much easier from here on.

They had all seen Jiang Yang kill that lizard before. Anyone capable of killing that kind of monster had already surpassed the limits of an ordinary person.

This man definitely had secrets. If they could dig them out, perhaps he could become just as strong.

A glint flashed through Yu Chang's eyes. With the apocalypse upon them and order collapsing, this might not be an opportunity for him.

As long as he could control these people, he could form a small group and gradually expand it. A grand vision began taking shape in Yu Chang's mind.

He grew excited, but at that moment, a long blade pierced through his chest.

"What are you laughing at? Daydreaming at a time like this?"

Jiang Yang approached Yu Chang, pulled out the Black Gold Ancient Blade, and lifted the dumbfounded, frightened man with one hand.

"You're clever. You've already gained preliminary control over these people, and you knew to turn their attention toward me. What a pity—I'm not planning to reason with you!"

Without waiting for Yu Chang to spout any nonsense, Jiang Yang crushed him to death as easily as squeezing a chick.

The man already had the makings of a small group leader. Under normal circumstances, he would have gradually built up prestige among these forty people over the next few days.

A small group would have formed just like that, and afterward, he would have slowly expanded his influence.

Unfortunately, he had run into Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang casually tossed aside Yu Chang's corpse, then looked toward the youths in the crowd holding crossbows.

They were all from Linjiang University and usually followed Yu Chang's lead. Now that he had been strangled to death by Jiang Yang, they all stood frozen in place.

In the apocalypse, killing was nothing unusual. It was just that everything had only begun, and these people had yet to adapt.

Even Ye Qingwei, standing behind Jiang Yang, wore an expression of utter disbelief and was visibly flustered.

Xiao Wan frowned, considering how they should handle it if the authorities pursued the matter. Still, according to the young master's predictions, it probably would not be much of a problem after the apocalypse.

Qiu Chan remained calm, and there was even a trace of admiration in her eyes.

She knew that, if it had been her, she would not have been able to act so decisively. But Qiu Chan also knew that after the apocalypse, there would inevitably be new moral standards. This was the right thing to do.

Li Shun and Zhang Yao were naturally unfazed. They had long since seen Jiang Yang kill someone.

Liu Ping, who had just spoken with Jiang Yang, was the first to react. She screamed and pulled out her phone.

"Ah! You killed someone!"

"You actually killed someone!"

"Call the police! Call the police now!"

Liu Ping's screams threw the others into panic as well. Once the youths holding crossbows came to their senses, they aimed at Jiang Yang and were about to pull their triggers.

But Jiang Yang was faster. Moving like a ghost, he slaughtered them all in an instant.

Then an indistinct aura burst forth from his body.
