Chen Feng was coming out of the base, originally intending to find a place to hide, but suddenly encountered a "police officer" halfway.
Gauge the situation.
Having lived in the post-apocalyptic world for so many years, Chen Feng had already honed a keen eye for discernment. Police officer? He curled his lips into a sneer; the guy was hunched over, shoulders raised, swaggering in a way that was more like a punk than a police officer.
Fraud.
Apart from the police uniform, nothing the man said was credible.
As for whether this man had any malicious intent towards him, Chen Feng didn't feel it mattered much; he just wanted to find a hiding spot, and since someone was offering to help, he was quite willing to accept the arrangement.
The night is a time for slaughter.
Chen Feng didn't have the energy to put up any pretense; if the guy really had any plans, then killing him was fine.
In the post-apocalyptic world, killing and being killed were all too common occurrences.
After walking for a few minutes.
A police station loomed into view before Chen Feng. The first floor was a parking lot, and the second floor was the office. At this time, the building's walls were splattered with fresh blood that hadn't yet dried; the ground was littered with fragments of bones and organs.
In the corner of the walls, there were even scattered limbs and legs, bearing clear bite marks.
The smell of blood.
Chen Feng sniffed the air, catching whiffs of a pungent scent.
Something brutal had happened here.
Ah Yu noticed Chen Feng's gaze and sneered, pressing a gun to Chen Feng's head and harshly demanded, "What are you looking at? Get in there!"
False pretenses revealed.
Upon reaching the destination, Ah Yu obviously tore off his disguise.
.........
The door opened.
A few vicious-looking men appeared in front of Chen Feng. They were smoking cigarettes and drinking spirits, their glares assessing him with hostility.
The air was thick with murderous intent.
Chen Feng sensed a disdain for life in their eyes; every one of them had blood on their hands—the blood of humans...
There were six ragged men in the corner, their courage long eroded, huddling together in fear, their eyes filled with terror.
Occasionally, screams and sobs, along with the heavy breathing of men, could be heard from the adjacent room.
A den of thieves.
And it's a gang.
"Boss, I'm back..." Ah Yu approached Ma Biao, flattering him.
"Is this the guy you found?" Ma Biao glanced sidelong at Chen Feng, then looked away; a dying man wasn't worth his attention, especially since he was a man.
Professional.
Chen Feng's eyes flickered with a sharp gleam. As a Summoner, Chen Feng had substantial spiritual power and was adept at detecting energy fluctuations. He distinctly felt a threat from the man just now.
However, it was merely a threat, far from fear-inducing.
If he were to launch a surprise attack, Chen Feng had a 70% chance of killing him. Except for some Heavenly Favored, the vitality of professionals is just like that of ordinary people.
After all, it's difficult to expect a newly awakened professional to possess any formidable self-preservation power.
Life is singular.
Apart from some extremely abnormal constitutions, this applies to any creature.
"Search his belongings, keep what's useful, toss aside what isn't, the usual routine, strip him bare and throw him aside, just don't starve to death!" Ma Biao lazily commanded; to him, Chen Feng was merely a piece of meat, not worth much attention.
"Kid, be sensible and raise your hands, obey, and you might live a bit longer." With a cocky demeanor obeying Ma Biao's order, Ah Yu reached out to pat Chen Feng down.
Inspection.
"Huh? What's this?" Upon touching Chen Feng's waist, Ah Yu suddenly shouted, then forcefully yanked out a deboning knife.
"Deboning knife." Chen Feng answered truthfully.
"What do you carry a knife for?"
"For killing."
The police station fell silent for a few seconds, then burst into laughter; presently, the streets were crawling with too many monsters, carrying a knife for self-defense was perfectly normal. They had expected Chen Feng to answer that way, but who knew... he said for killing?
"Bro."
"This guy says he uses a knife to kill people."
"What do you think you are? Have you seen blood? Seen dead bodies? Killing? A guy who hasn't even grown all his hair yet trying to boast shamelessly."
Ah Yu curled his lips as if looking at a fool, handing the deboning knife to Chen Feng, laughing, "I was pointing a gun at you earlier, you didn't act this tough then!"
"Killing? Let's see you kill someone... I the..."
"Pfft!"
Without hesitation.
Chen Feng grabbed the deboning knife and stabbed forward, the large blade driving directly through Ah Yu's neck; he widened his eyes, seemingly unable to believe what had just happened.
Thick blood flowed down from his neck; rather than pain, he felt numbness and terror, as he sensed life slowly slipping away, an extremely harrowing experience.
This guy... must be a madman!
Dead.
Ah Yu lay there, eyes wide open, motionless on the ground, even unto death he couldn't comprehend what had just occurred.
This...
In fact, not only Ah Yu, everyone around was dumbfounded; anyone could hear Ah Yu was mocking the other just moments ago, yet the next moment, he was a corpse lying there.
Bizarre.
"What do you carry a knife for?"
"For killing."
The earlier exchange between the two echoed in everyone's ears, but compared to their previous ridicule, now none could laugh anymore, knowing full well that Chen Feng wasn't joking. The knife was indeed used for killing...
This guy...
Not to mention ordinary people, even Ma Biao when seeing this scene, his lazy eyes revealed shock, and he stood up, clenching his fists. Killing someone right in front of him, especially one of his own subordinates, was extremely serious; to assert his authority, this guy had to die, and moreover... he would die very miserably.
"What? Have any complaints?"
Ignoring everyone, Chen Feng bent down to retrieve the deboning knife, curled his lips into a harmless smile, "He was actively seeking death, to be honest, such a request I've never heard my whole life..."
