A Killer Without Feelings

The congressman's confusion did not last long. Xiao Miao hit him hard, and after a couple of groans, he passed out.

Xiao Miao withdrew his gaze from the congressman and looked at the English teacher on the bed.

She was a blonde with long, wavy hair and heavy makeup, but she really was pretty after putting it on. The congressman's tastes were surprisingly consistent with those of the stock-god president.

The girl was very sensible. Seeing Xiao Miao look at her, she flopped onto the bed with a crack and immediately lost consciousness, looking as though she had fainted from fright.

To be safe, Xiao Miao reinforced the stun buff with a drugged handkerchief, ensuring she would not wake up anytime soon.

Xiao Miao dragged the congressman toward the door, but before leaving, he suddenly noticed a travel bag in the corner of the bedroom. Its presence seemed somewhat out of place. When he opened it, he found that it was full of the congressman's belongings, along with a large amount of cash.

Why did it look like he was preparing to run away?

Shaking his head, Xiao Miao stopped dwelling on it. He slung the travel bag over his shoulder and dragged the congressman out of the villa.

If there was a problem, he could casually ask about it during the interrogation.

Xiao Miao drove back to the seaside rental house. The place was empty, so he first dragged the congressman, who was sleeping like a dead pig, inside.

Alice did not keep Xiao Miao waiting for long. She soon returned as well, bringing back a stack of building blueprints and a young man.

"Clang!"

Alice drew a fruit knife and stabbed it into the table, then looked at Xiao Miao. "You or me?"

"Together. It'll save time. I've got a bad feeling about this."

"Fine."

White blades went in, red blades came out, and father and son immediately let out pig-slaughtering screams that shook the heavens.

But Xiao Miao had deliberately chosen this rental house. It stood by the sea, with few people nearby. The night wind blew from the mainland toward the ocean, carrying their screams into the vast Pacific Ocean. Only SpongeBob could hear their wails.

The interrogation went smoothly. People who betrayed their own country and people had no backbone to begin with. The moment the torture began, they confessed everything.

The situation was not encouraging. Umbrella Corporation's research here was nearly complete. Based on the genes of East Asians, they had induced a mutation to create an entirely new T-virus, which they named the Dead Body Virus.

The Dead Body Virus was more infectious and spread faster. Once bitten, an ordinary person could mutate into a zombie-like Dead Body in as little as two minutes.

Dead Bodies had no vision whatsoever, but their hearing was exceptionally sensitive. Their physical abilities improved slightly after mutation, trading away their lifespan for physical capabilities beyond those of ordinary humans. Once their time ran out, they would automatically perish.

In the eyes of Umbrella Corporation's upper management, the Dead Body Virus was the perfect bioweapon. All it lacked before mass production was a live combat trial.

So the Umbrella branch's upper management had come up with a deranged plan. They intended to deploy Dead Body Virus bioweapons in Tokyo, Tokonosu City, and the surrounding cities to test their real combat capabilities.

The scheduled deployment was two days away. The father and son had already bought their plane tickets and would fly out early tomorrow morning.

Xiao Miao: "..."

What a heartwarming farce of fatherly love and filial devotion.

This father and son had never intended to let Koichi Shido, the eldest son, survive.

And the plot of Apocalypse of Ru Kiln had just been rationalized by Umbrella Corporation like this?

As expected of a major villain—he had easily accomplished what the original author could not!

After killing the two scum with two strokes and sending them into the sea to feed the fish, Xiao Miao and Alice exchanged a glance. They realized that time was pressing and that they had to act immediately.

Xiao Miao had pistols confiscated from the security team, but they were nowhere near enough. To take down Umbrella Corporation's secret research base, they needed automatic weapons and grenades.

Those things were easy enough to get in America, but this was an island nation, and getting them would be somewhat difficult.

Thanks to the congressman's generous contribution, in this age where money could make even ghosts turn millstones, money could buy you the whole world.

The cash the congressman had prepared for his escape was still far from enough to "own the whole world," but it was more than sufficient for acquiring some guns.

Xiao Miao carried the cash and took Alice into the city. By then, it was already late, and the streets were mostly deserted.

Xiao Miao pulled out a stack of Fukuzawa Yukichi bills and flaunted them openly. Before long, he attracted two local NEETs—hoodlums and delinquent youths.

After a round of friendly communication accompanied by ghostly wails and howls, the bruised and battered delinquents led Xiao Miao to their boss. They then promptly perked up, barking threats while riding on the tiger's might, with words like "baka" and "maru" spilling endlessly from their mouths.

Xiao Miao and Alice smiled at each other and moved at the same time. A few minutes later, the NEETs were all down cold, and the boss had also been given a thorough beating.

The boss: "..."

Under Xiao Miao's patient guidance, the yakuza boss had a sudden awakening. Not only was he willing to take the two of them to a shady little shop that sold illegal guns, but he was also willing to give them all his illicit earnings to atone for his sins.

Xiao Miao refused, and the yakuza boss began crying and howling as though his whole family had died. Xiao Miao's heart eventually softened, and he reluctantly accepted the dirty money while signaling Alice to move the gun away.

At the illegal gun shop, the owner saw that Xiao Miao and Alice both had foreign faces and initially planned to rob them outright. But when he turned around, he saw Xiao Miao demonstrating a one-handed chamber check, his movements precise and elegant.

Alice was no less impressive on the other side. The way she inspected firearms made her look like a special forces soldier who had served for years.

These two absolutely could not be provoked!

The illegal gun shop owner shuddered, cold sweat breaking out across his back. His smile became even more obsequious as he offered them a twenty-percent discount and a large quantity of ammunition.

"Click!"

Xiao Miao chambered a round and slid the gun into his thigh holster. Looking up at the illegal gun shop owner, he said, "These guns are pretty good. We'll take them all. But do you have anything more invigorating?"

The illegal gun shop owner's smile froze instantly. "Bosses, what exactly are you planning to do?"

All those guns and bullets still were not enough? These two were not terrorists, were they? They did not look Middle Eastern!

What should I do? After this deal, should I run away?

At four in the morning, the sleepiest hour of the day, a black van drove along the coastal highway, slowly approaching the Ocean Science Research Institute.

Before turning into the research institute, the vehicle stopped by the roadside. Wearing a baseball cap, Xiao Miao flashed the lights in a 1-1-4-5-1-4 pattern.

This was the signal Koichi Shido had arranged with the research institute. It meant that the vehicle was carrying high school students who had come to do the baba work.

The guard at the gate had been dozing off. The lights stabbed painfully into his eyes, and once he understood the signal, his anger flared even more. Yet he did not dare delay his superiors' entertainment, so he gritted his teeth and returned the signal while opening the iron gate.

Xiao Miao started the car and slowly approached. As he passed through the gate, he even nodded to the guard in greeting. At the same time, he mentally communicated with the panel. The Character Card: Kakinka turned into a stream of light and flew into Xiao Miao's body.

In an instant, countless shooting experiences with pistols and submachine guns appeared from nowhere. Xiao Miao grasped at empty air with both hands, as though he had fired guns countless times in a brief span. He had reached the pinnacle of this field and become an undisputed master.

Kakinka was an elite bodyguard, assassin, and top agent—a pure fighting machine! A cold glint flashed through Xiao Miao's eyes. His gaze swept from left to right, and every guard's movement path became clear to him. His abundant experience allowed him to rapidly formulate a plan of action.

Now, he was a killer without feelings!

The van drove into the designated area for inspection. Xiao Miao pulled out a submachine gun and said softly, "Alice, get ready to move!"
