Chapter 53: Decisive Killing
The atmosphere in the living room of the house was very warm. Li Boming was telling them about the beautiful future, how rich the supplies were in Gu Ming's base, how many beautiful women there were, and that as long as he controlled the base, he would be better than being a god, bragging.
Li Boming was indeed a boss, and he understood the hearts of the losers very well, not to mention these gangsters. Just a word made them excited, and they wanted to pick up weapons and fight with him.
Watching his brother bragging, Li Bohan sneered in his heart. As his younger brother, he had the most say in what kind of person his brother was. Like him, they were all selfish people. Before the end of the world, they might do some superficial work and support the elderly to maintain their own personality. Now that the end of the world has come, their nature has been exposed. They were driven out of the base, and they didn't want to be the deputy leader, but wanted to be the boss themselves. This was not only greedy, but also ungrateful. Of course, he himself was not much better, with the same virtues as the two brothers.
Gu Ming listened outside the house and knew that everyone inside was there. There was also a woman on the second floor who was not one of them, but was abducted by them. He didn't want to listen to their nonsense anymore.
Pulling out the Tang sword, Gu Ming knocked the window glass with the handle of the sword.
"Bang——"
With just such a sound, the glass shattered. Before the people inside could react, Gu Ming threw a grenade into the broken window. He left quickly in less than two seconds.
"Bang——"
With a loud bang, the house was full of fire, the doors and windows were broken, and thick smoke was gushing out. Gu Ming felt that there should be no living people inside, because the grenade was a military grenade he exchanged from the system, which was very powerful. He didn't think anyone would survive.
After the smoke cleared, Gu Ming walked into the house. The living room was already in a mess. The tables, chairs, electrical appliances, walls, etc. had been destroyed by the explosion. There were several human bodies lying on the ground, no more, no less, just five. Li Boming and others were all caught by Gu Ming in the living room.
Gu Ming kicked to see if there were any survivors. When he kicked Li Boming, he uttered a cry.
"Uh--"
He was really lucky. He was not dead, but seriously injured.
Li Boming opened his eyes with great difficulty. When he saw that it was Gu Ming, he immediately knew what was going on. He didn't expect that he was thinking about the opponent's base. He hadn't started to act yet, but Gu Ming's action was so fast. Maybe Gu Ming didn't think of letting him go when he came out. If it were him, he would do the same. How could he let go of someone who had ulterior motives towards him? He just didn't expect Gu Ming, a loser, to be so decisive. Although he was seriously injured, he didn't want to die yet. He groaned.
"Brother Gu, let me go, okay?"
"I don't want to die yet.
"I haven't done anything to let you down."
"Let me go! "
Gu Ming ignored him and didn't want to say anything more to him. He just finished the fight. Anyway, the zombies attracted by the explosion will help him deal with them. Then he will regret not asking Gu Ming to help him get rid of them.
The system didn't respond, indicating that it couldn't absorb energy points. As expected, humans don't have energy points. Since the doomsday, Gu Ming didn't absorb any energy points when he killed someone for the first time. He originally thought that there were not many viruses in the human body. As time went by, killing people might also absorb energy points. But there was no energy point absorption until now, so it should not be absorbed from humans in the future. This is good, otherwise Gu Ming himself can't guarantee whether he will go hunting specifically. Kill those scumbags. After all, I have encountered a lot of scumbags since the doomsday. The dark side of many people was maintained by the government's laws and order before the doomsday. After the doomsday, when you leave the official base, it is really a jungle world outside, where the strong prey on the weak.
Zhou Meilan lay on the bed with a dead heart, staring at the ceiling in a daze. She has lived a life worse than death for the past ten days. It's not that she doesn't want to commit suicide, but she thinks that those beasts are not dead, and it would be not worth it if she died. She must see those people die, but she knows that her hope is very slim.
Her life before the doomsday was not necessarily happy. Her parents favored boys over girls, and she was not valued. She was in the third year of high school, and she became She had good grades and was beautiful. She was named the school beauty by her classmates. This was a title that made her proud before the end of the world. Now Zhou Meilan would rather grow up to be ugly, so that she would not be treated so cruelly. In order to prevent her from committing suicide, the beasts tied her hands and feet with ropes, making her unable to move.
Just when she thought that the day would pass like this again, there was a loud noise from below, just like the sound she heard when she was a child in the countryside watching people fry river fish with lei pipes. Was it a gas tank explosion, Zhou Meilan thought to herself.
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside the room. It was not the footsteps of the beasts, but the footsteps of people wearing boots like long boots. Zhou Meilan was sure of the sound of footsteps.
The door was opened, and Zhou Meilan saw a man in a special police uniform, fully armed, walked in. The man was very handsome, with a pair of bright eyes under his sword-like eyebrows, a high nose bridge, thin lips, fair skin, and a slender and upright figure. He looked energetic and heroic, very cool. Her heart beat very fast. It's not that she had never seen handsome guys in school before, but the students in the school seemed very naive, and it was when she suffered so much. She admitted that she fell in love at first sight, but she thought of herself being humiliated for more than ten days and her body was already dirty, and her expression was miserable.
Gu Ming didn't know what Zhou Meilan was thinking. He just saw the girl on the bed, covered with a thin quilt, with a miserable look, and knew what happened to her. He had seen a lot of such things in Doomsday. Many women in his base had suffered such things. He walked to the bedside without changing his expression and said to the girl on the bed.
"My name is Gu Ming, what's your name?"
"Zhou Meilan."
"Do you have any relatives?"
"No."
"What are your plans for the future?"
When Zhou Meilan heard Gu Ming ask this, she looked at him with a little hope and said.
"Brother, can I follow you in the future? I will be very obedient."
"Yes."
Gu Ming knew that this girl who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old had to be given some hope, otherwise she would despair. Sure enough, when he heard him say this, Zhou Meilan's beautiful face had a smile.
Cut the rope on Zhou Meilan and let her put on her clothes. Fortunately, the gang didn't throw away her clothes, but she was very weak and couldn't walk. Gu Ming could already hear the roars of zombies coming from downstairs. Because the explosion attracted many zombies, maybe all the zombies in the town were attracted. He let the girl lie on his back, then broke the glass window and jumped from the second floor. Just a bend of the knees buffered the impact of the jump, which was a piece of cake for his physical fitness.
"No, help, I don't want to die--"
Li Boming's miserable cry came from the living room on the first floor, and Gu Ming ran away with the girl on his back without looking back.
