Apocalypse Shelter System

Chapter 44: I Am the Law! I Am the Reason!



"Don't!" Si Ruqing's eyes widened in horror.

The next moment, a flash of a blade...

Blood splattered everywhere.

An arm holding an axe fell to the ground with a thud.

Scarface's eyes bulged in disbelief as he looked at his severed arm. He turned around frantically, and a figure silently appeared behind him.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Ah!!! Uh!" Scarface's scream abruptly ceased as blood sprayed and his head fell to the ground.

"You! How are you still alive?!" Zhou Zhengyu and the other thugs stared in terror at Alex, who had reappeared, their hands trembling as they held their weapons. "Who the heck are you?!"

Alex coldly eyed the men, silently picking up his blade and slowly advancing towards Zhou Zhengyu.

The thugs gathered together, each clutching their weapons.

"He's just one man! He can't possibly be a match for us!" Zhou Zhengyu suddenly shouted with a ferocious expression: "Just kill him, and all the women and supplies here will be ours!"

"Yeah! He's only one person! An outnumbered fighter can't win! Especially against so many of us! Let's go together and kill this kid!" another thug also bellowed viciously.

"Young man, you shouldn't have come back! They have too many people; we can't beat them," a despairing woman said to Si Ruqing.

"Alex! Be careful! He has a crossbow!" Si Ruqing also shouted worriedly to Alex.

But Alex seemed not to hear anything, continuing to walk towards Zhou Zhengyu and the others.

"Damn it! Stop right there!" Zhou Zhengyu, trembling, aimed his crossbow at Alex, yelling, "Take one more step forward, and I'll shoot you dead..."

Before he could finish speaking, Alex suddenly accelerated, turning into a blur as he charged forward.

"Ptch!" Zhou Zhengyu didn't even have the chance to scream before Alex cleaved him in two. Blood splattered on Alex's face, making him look even more ferocious and terrifying.

"We surrender! We surrender!" One thug, scared out of his wits and incontinent, dropped his weapon and knelt on the ground, frantically kowtowing and begging Alex for mercy.

The other thugs also gave up their resistance, kneeling and pleading pitifully.

"Please spare us! We are willing to be your servants!"

"We were forced by Scarface and Zhou Zhengyu! We are ready to repent and follow you now!" "We can go out to find food! We can be your lackeys! Please spare us!"

"Young man! It's the apocalypse, and not many of us are left alive. We are all human beings; we should help each other! You cannot just slaughter innocents like this!"

Alex looked down at these people with a slanted gaze, some of whom were trying to show loyalty and win his sympathy, while others were preaching morality, hoping to persuade Alex to spare them for being fellow survivors.

"Alex, the principal culprits have been killed, and these people are just accomplices. According to the laws of the state, they do not deserve death, as they are only accessories and haven't done anything. Maybe we should just let them go and fend for themselves," Si Ruqing, frowning, walked up to Alex, somewhat reluctantly suggesting.

"After all, there aren't many survivors left, for the sake of our human future..."

Before Si Ruqing could finish, Alex raised his weapon and chopped down at one of the kneeling thugs.

Nine heads fell to the ground in unison, blood splashing on Si Ruqing's face.

Alex turned his head and said coldly, "The laws of the state? What laws? Who will uphold these laws? You?"

Alex, with a cold smirk, walked over to a few middle-aged men who had not participated in the riot.

The short, leading man hurriedly crawled to Alex's feet, trembling and pleading, "I didn't join the riot! I'm a law-abiding citizen! I even tried to dissuade them! Please spare us!"

The other two middle-aged men also crawled up, begging desperately, "Benefactor! We were forced! We didn't join their riot! We are willing to follow you and Officer Si! We can work for you!"

With a swift motion of his blade, three more heads rolled to the ground.

"This is the apocalypse! There are no laws! No reason! If there is any law, it's what I say! My actions define what's right!"

Alex turned to Si Ruqing, "I hope you understand this. It is the most important thing you need to remember in order to survive in this apocalypse."

Si Ruqing stared blankly at Alex, her face turning pale, her eyes filled with complex emotions. At that moment, the women who had been saved by Alex's decisive actions got up from the ground, gathering around him, admiringly looking up to Alex.

"You're really amazing! You killed so many zombies so easily! Can you teach us how to kill zombies?" The twin sisters approached, looking up at Alex with pure admiration, speaking in unison.
