Ruthless Lin, the Psychopathic Killer

Was it cruel?

Looking at the corpses strewn across the ground, Liu Chuan and the others stood by the roadside without a ripple of emotion.

Even the women in the convoy calmly watched Lin Yi kill the members of the Queen Convoy one by one.

Everyone knew perfectly well that without Lin Yi, they would probably all have died in the white fog behind them.

As the white fog dispersed,

the Yellow-Mud Aberration pursuing them had already engulfed everyone in their convoy who had failed to leave.

The Queen Convoy had probably been using this Aberration to kill passing convoys and steal their supplies.

Now that the women had been killed, everyone felt they had gotten what they deserved.

Lin Yi stood in the rain with his head tilted slightly back, letting the water fall over him and wash the blood from his face.

He did not know whether it was the influence of the [Criminal] Sequence, but killing gave him a thrill unlike anything he had ever experienced.

It was a pleasure that could swallow a person whole.

More addictive than drinking or smoking.

"Lin!"

"Brother Lin!"

Watching Lin Yi in the rain, Ji Qingcang and Liu Chuan both sensed a change in his presence.

Before, Lin Yi had seemed to retain some humanity.

But just moments ago, he had given them a strange feeling, as though they were looking at a starving wolf.

"I'm fine."

Lin Yi smiled and waved a hand. "Let's rest here for now. I don't know what the Queen Convoy used, but they actually managed to keep the Aberration out."

There were plenty of rain shelters here, so they could easily take over the place.

Even the supplies the Queen Convoy had stolen now belonged to their Survival Rules Convoy.

The only regret was that they had lost even more people this time.

Only four vehicles had followed them out, with barely twenty-five people in total. The other hundred-plus people had all died when the Yellow-Mud Aberration swept over them.

Lin Yi looked back at the gradually retreating Yellow-Mud Aberration and said slowly, "Captain Liu, you're not going to get all sentimental again, are you?"

So many people had died, but in Lin Yi's view, they had only themselves to blame.

Liu Chuan had warned them at the time. If they had fled immediately, perhaps everyone could have survived unharmed.

But unfortunately...

only those twenty-five people had actually listened.

"Don't worry. I'm not the man I used to be."

Liu Chuan was more composed than ever. He smiled and said, "I never expected so many people to die this time. If the Queen Convoy hadn't sabotaged us, we might even have traded some supplies with them here."

"What are you thinking, talking about trading supplies? You think the Queen Convoy was full of good people?"

Ji Qingcang tossed a diary over to Liu Chuan and said with a smile, "Read it yourself and you'll understand. Not one of the women in this convoy was any good. Death was letting them off easy."

Liu Chuan caught the diary and began leafing through it. A convoy member had written it, and it also contained information about some of the Queen Convoy's members.

Their leader, the woman in sunglasses, was named Zhao Xiaotong. She was a criminal who had conspired with her lover to murder her husband.

She had been awaiting sentencing, but when the apocalypse arrived, she escaped from the Cloudpan City Detention Center and freed quite a few other inmates.

After gaining the Mystery-Type Sequence [Suppression], she immediately gathered a group of people around her in Cloudpan City.

She had even abandoned her lover.

Later, Zhao Xiaotong awakened a second Sequence, [Smoke Apostle]. Calling herself the "Apocalypse Queen," she led several female Sequence Transcendents in robbing travelers on the road.

Over the past month, they had robbed a great many people.

Even the lucky ones who escaped suffered heavy losses against Zhao Xiaotong and her two Sequences, and could only leave nursing their resentment.

The unlucky ones remained on this highway forever.

Aside from Zhao Xiaotong, the Queen Convoy had two other female Sequence Transcendents.

One was [Watcher] Wang Juan.

The other was [Formation Master] Zhou Duo, the fat pig of a woman.

Neither of them was any good, either. Wang Juan was a cult leader who had secretly recruited people and founded a cult before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, when she learned that Zhao Xiaotong had awakened two Sequences, she joined her without hesitation.

Zhou Duo, meanwhile, was utterly despicable.

She had previously been a freeloader, staying home every day and living off her parents' savings. She had eaten herself into a fat pig and refused to let anyone criticize her.

After the apocalypse, she began taking revenge on anyone who had anything negative to say about her, and had even abused quite a few handsome men here.

As for the others, they all had something wrong with them to one degree or another.

What Lin Yi had done hardly even counted as murder. He had simply rid the world of a scourge.

"The Queen Convoy really was a bunch of scum. Death was too good for them."

Liu Chuan could not help remarking, "They say women are a vulnerable group, but how many women are vulnerable in this apocalypse? This Queen Convoy was practically running wild!"

"That's why people are still the most dangerous things out there."

Lin Yi smiled and waved a hand. "I'll go change my clothes. Use the supplies here to make a meal. With that formation or whatever in place, it's fairly safe here."

Aside from Lin Yi and the other two, there were twenty-five people left in the convoy.

Ten of them were women, all smart enough to listen and not go against the convoy leader.

That was also the main reason they had survived.

Under the direction of Ji Qingcang's wife, Liu Man, the women began picking out supplies to cook together, while the other men dragged the surrounding corpses outside.

"These few were pretty decent-looking. What do you think was wrong with their heads?"

"Who knows? Probably got brainwashed by those militant feminists before all this and thought they were strong enough to take on the world."

"Strong, my ass. Even the woman with two Sequences got killed. They only lived this long because they were lucky."

"Exactly. Ruthless Lin is something else. He charged out alone with a chainsaw. My legs nearly gave out watching him. I almost dropped to my knees. He was absolutely vicious."

"..."

Ruthless Lin was the nickname the convoy members had privately given Lin Yi.

After all, everyone could see that the convoy's three Sequence Transcendents were all different.

Their leader, Liu Chuan, was a kindhearted man who treated everyone pleasantly. He also cared about them behind the scenes and had been quietly keeping an eye on how they were doing over the past two days.

Ji Qingcang was a devoted family man through and through. He also treated the convoy members well and was willing to chat patiently with them.

Lin Yi alone was different.

He kept to himself and struck without mercy. If someone threatened his survival, he would kill them without a second thought.

Just look at what had happened to the Queen Convoy.

Lin Yi had practically killed them all single-handedly, and had even looked as though he enjoyed it afterward. He was nothing short of a psychopathic killer...
