Chapter 118: Cruel Slaughtering

Surprisingly, it was a woman that was found dead by the door. Her face was covered with dust. Luo Yuan could only identify her gender based on the size of her chest. She was lying on her back, her eyes popping out like she had died with a grievance.

Luo Yuan stepped over the body, but Wang Shishi was not brave enough. She skirted around it as if the woman would suddenly jump up. She was holding the sharp shuttle tightly in her hand while she used her telekinesis.

Luo Yuan walked into the living room. With his sensory perception, no one could escape or hide from him.

He signaled for Wang Shishi to stay in the living room. Wang Shishi nodded nervously and sprinted to a corner, where she could launch a surprise attack if anyone entered the living room from the storeroom. Luo Yuan nodded, pleased to discover that she was not that stupid after all.

He entered the storeroom and stood somewhere close to the wall.

The basement only had one exit. Therefore, he did not have to take the risk of breaking in. None of them could escape provided that he stayed exactly where he was.

Luo Yuan was no longer unfamiliar with evolved people. After all, he had three evolved people with him and he had evolved as well. Evolved people though had all kinds of abilities, some of them kind of odd.

Some were strong while others were weak. Lin Xiaoji was weak as his ability could not be used to attack, but only to protect himself. Wang Shishi, on the other hand, was very strong. If she demonstrated her full power, even Luo Yuan would have to retreat temporarily.

However, Wang Shishi was quite lazy and thus lacked the necessary practice. If he came across an evolved person who practiced hard every day, even Luo Yuan could lose the fight. Therefore, he was very cautious. Cautiousness had become second nature to him since the beginning of that dangerous time.

The people in the storeroom were having an intense argument.

“F*ck, it’s been 5 minutes. Why is she not back yet? Could she have run away?” Ma Lian said impatiently as he looked at his watch in the dark.

Brother Hei was walking around irritably. He looked kind of uncomfortable. He suddenly turned and glared at the man who had rebelled against his people. He walked up to him, grabbed his collar, pushed him against the wall and said ferociously, “You brat, are you messing with us? If you dare lie, I’ll show you what the life of the living dead feels like!”

“Boss, how could I ever mess with you? I told you the truth.” Sun Xiaowu was in so much pain that his voice sounded croaky. “That mutated beast is really controlled by the leader of the group, Luo Yuan. We stand a good chance now that he’s fainted. If he wakes up, though...”

Sun Xiaowu started to say something, but he could not continue.

“What if he wakes up?” Brother Hei snorted.

“He… he would kill us all!” Sun Xiaowu stammered. He was truly afraid of Luo Yuan. Even the idea of facing him made him anxious. If these people were strong enough, they would not have gone into hiding as soon as they’d seen the giant lizard.

They reacted like they’d heard something funny. They all burst out laughing.

“I knew you wouldn’t believe me!” Sun Xiawu became very worried. They were not taking him seriously. If Luo Yuan was still alive, he would eventually kill him.

He suddenly became very daring. He pushed brother Hei away and walked briskly towards the dried meat hanging from the ceiling. He tremblingly pointed at it and shouted, “What do you think these are? They are the inner organs of a third rank mutated beast, just like the giant lizard outside. Just the day before yesterday, Luo Yuan removed inner organs from three different animals. What’s so funny? You can’t even deal with the giant lizard outside! Is this really funny to you?”

A heavy slap on the face made him fall him to the floor.

“Watch your mouth,” the guy with the scar said sharply.

The laughing stopped. The whole basement had gone silent.

Brother Hei became very serious. He walked briskly to the wall, put his ear on it and listened quietly for a while before he punched the wall. There was a loud sound, and the thick cemented wall cracked.

“Shall we send someone out to check again?” Ma Lian suggested.

There were two men and one woman left. Their faces looked terrified. They were all shivering and trying hard to shrink against the wall.

Brother Hei nodded.

Ma Lian pulled up the weak woman. She was struggling hard, begging for forgiveness while she sobbed. Mucus and tears were dripping all over her face. Ma Lian kicked her ferociously, grabbing her hair tightly and hitting her head hard against the floor.

The woman struggled at first, but she gradually stopped. A mixture of bone scraps and fresh blood had spilled out onto the floor.

“Enough, she’s dead!” Brother Hei growled hoarsely. He sounded annoyed.

“It’s her own fault!” Ma Lian murmured, releasing his hands. He looked at the scratches made by her nails and kicked the body a few times to vent his anger.

Sun Xiawu was lying on the floor while he watched. He was frightened. He suddenly regretted acting on impulse. If he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have been there now, feeling afraid.

“That’s what happens when you don’t do as you’re told,” Ma Lian said coldly, looking at one of the men. “Your turn now.”

The man looked scared, but having watched that woman die, he dared not speak a single word. He grabbed a gun, stood up and walked towards the staircase that led to the first floor.

He opened the trapdoor and walked out carefully before he closed it again, bending down.

He had yet to stand up straight when a strong palm pressed against his mouth and a clear bone-cracking sound was heard. He looked upwards in relief as he felt his body being pulled to the corner quickly. His sight gradually entered permanent darkness.

“Did you hear something just now?” the man in the suit said seriously as he leaned against the wall.

“It sounded like something being dragged,” the man with the scar said uncertainly.

“F*ck, someone must be in the storeroom,” Brother Hei said angrily.

He grabbed Sun Xiaowu and slapped him on the face hard. “Other than that Luo Yuan, are there any more evolved people?”

Sun Xiaowu felt dizzy. The right side of his face was swelling. After a while, he spit out a couple of bloody teeth and replied fearfully, “Yes, Boss, there are three of them!”

“Three?” Brother Hei glowered in anger. “F*ck! Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“I… because… because the rest of them are not a threat compared to Luo Yuan!” Sun Xiaowu said quickly, afraid of being beaten again.
