Luo Liuzi was also present when the exploration team first brought back information about the community.
Upon hearing that more than 7,000 people had died, he seemed momentarily dazed.
Back then, Tian Man approached him and asked, "Do you want to go back and take a look?"
He knew the Luo family's situation very well. When Luo Liuzi treated them as family, they didn't treat him like a human being. It was precisely because of this that Luo Liuzi, in his disappointment, resolutely left the community.
However, they are still blood relatives, and Luo Liuzi must be devastated by what happened to him.
Tian Man comforted him, "They're family after all. If you want to bring them over, Miss..."
Luo Liuzi was stunned. "Bring them to Liu Family Village?"
Tian Man remained silent.
Many images flashed through Luo Liuzi's mind: his parents who never looked at him properly, his older brother and sister who beat and scolded him, and who ransacked his shack after he finally earned money by selling axes... family?
Luo Liuzi's eyes turned cold. "Bullshit! I have no family!"
From the moment he left the community, he severed all ties with them.
Should we bring them to Liu Family Village?
What are you here for?
How disgusting!
Luo Liuzi knew their temperaments very well. If he let them come over, and knowing that he was now Awakened, they would probably cling to him and suck his blood for the rest of their lives.
It's one thing if he just sucks his blood, he's been used to it since he was a child, but if he disgusts the young lady...
Impossible, he wouldn't let them dance in front of the young lady.
family?
If we're really going to talk about it, the big guys in the shop are his family!
Luo Liuzi said to Tian Man, " Brother Man, I'm not going back. If you run into them... just tell them..."
Tian Man stared at Luo Liuzi's father and said, " Liuzi is dead."
Luo Zhifu raised his voice. "What?"
Tian Man: " Liu Family Village also suffered from the beast tide, and he died on the front lines."
As he said this, Tian Man kept staring at Luo Zhifu. If this man had shown even a hint of heartache or regret for his son, he would have done something for Liuzi. Of course, he couldn't take him back to Liu Family Village, but at least he could let him live in the community.
However...
There was no trace of pain in Luo Zhifu's eyes at the loss of his son; only anger and despair filled him. "Dead?!"
Immediately afterward, his eyes filled with resentment, he grabbed Tian Man and said, "Take me to Liu Family Village, you... you take me to Liujia Village..."
"Jiacun, I'm Liuzi's father. I have to go and demand justice from them. My son... yes, he went to Liu Family Village with that Song guy, and he died..."
As he spoke, his eyes lit up, believing he had seen a glimmer of hope. He could make another fortune off his son who had died in vain. He couldn't hide his excitement. "... I'm going to go and demand her life! She has to pay me back!"
Tian Man felt a surge of anger rising to his head, and he threw a punch at Luo Zhifu.
Caught off guard, Luo Zhifu had one of his teeth knocked out. "You... you... what are you doing...?"
Tian Man angrier the more he thought about it; this scoundrel was actually trying to extort money from the young lady.
If it weren't for the young lady taking them away from the community, he and Liuzi would have been dead long ago!
Tian Man grabbed Luo Zhifu's shoulder, where his arm was broken, and pinched him until he bled. " Luo Zhifu, how dare you plot this? I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Luo Zhifu is a typical example of someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong. When Tian Man gives him face, he becomes arrogant and takes advantage of it. But Tian Man punches him, he instantly cowers.
The excruciating pain at the severed arm made his face turn deathly pale, and he begged for mercy repeatedly.
When Tian Man thought about this bastard's scheme, and how he actually wanted to cause trouble in front of Miss... he was instantly enraged. He kicked him in the stomach and then began to beat him mercilessly.
Old Chen eventually stopped him. " Master Man..." If you keep hitting him, someone will die.
Tian Man stopped, not because he was thinking about Luo Liuzi's father, but because he knew Song Xiaozhu's taboos and didn't want to get his hands dirty.
Furthermore, he came to the community on official business, and whatever the reason, it's wrong for him to kill someone as soon as he arrived.
"Roll."
Tian Man stared coldly at Luo Zhifu.
Luo Zhifu was terrified. He got up and ran away. He was actually taller and bigger than Tian Man, but he didn't dare to fight back.
Tian Man didn't come alone; behind him stood the Guard Team of Liu Family Village, all dressed in leather armor and carrying steel knives and bows and arrows. Luo Zhifu dared not touch Tian Man.
This incident caused quite a stir, and many of the distraught homeless people in the community turned their attention to it.
They stared blankly at Tian Man and his group, at the things they had brought in their wooden carts... Many of them began to feel envious, especially some who were starving and trembling as they tried to stand up.
After catching his breath, Tian Man said to Liu Huli and the others, "Captain Liu, please instruct everyone to distribute the simple meals, water, and medicine along the way."
As he spoke, he and Old Chen and his wife went to fetch food and water, which they then distributed to the people along the roadside.
Refugees.
The iconic building in the Scavenger Community —the district chief's office building—is now just a single-story bungalow.
It wasn't attacked by the Polluted Beast. This entire building was the culmination of Old Madam Hu's decades of hard work. She activated all the mechanisms to shoot down the Polluted Beast.
The government office was emptied out, and the building collapsed.
At the end of the empty main road, this Xiaoxiao bungalow stands there stubbornly, like an old man summoned by death but refusing to leave.
Tian Man met with Old Madam Hu and Chen San.
It's only been a few days, but seeing each other again feels like a lifetime ago.
Old Madam Hu looked much more haggard. She had injured her leg, and blood was still seeping from the bandage. Her once slightly plump body had become thinner, and her face looked even more withered.
Chen San wasn't much better off. He had lost the smugness of being the community's second-in-command, and now he was only cautious and timid after panicking.
He said with a forced smile, " Master Man Tian... how is Miss Song?"
Tian Man was taken aback; she was quite unaccustomed to this side of Chen San.
Chen San then asked, "How is the situation in Liu Family Village? This beast tide... we really didn't expect it. The community has suffered huge losses. Antibiotics have already been distributed, but we haven't been able to save more people. The station has run out of supplies. We've tried to contact the people in the Fortress... but we haven't been able to reach them."
