Ye Xiaoyu shook her head, saying, “It’s kinda weird but, despite their optimism, I still feel uneasy for some reason. I would go so far as to say that even the fatty at the cardroom had managed his team better than this.”

Shen Chen smiled and looked Ye Xiaoyu in the eye. “A herd of blindly optimistic sheep with no idea how cruel the outside world is. What do you think would happen as soon as they stepped outside? What would be their fate?”

Ye Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment before answering, “Death… I guess.”

“No. A mental breakdown!” Shen Chen took another swig of his beer. “They would start questioning everything they see in this world and would end up trying to escape from reality, choosing instead to indulge in their delusions. Eventually, they would suffer a mental breakdown and go crazy.”

Ye Xiaoyu shuddered at Shen Chen’s harsh words. Initially feeling a little drowsy from the alcohol, she suddenly sobered up upon hearing what he said. “That… that can’t be…”

‘Can’t be? How many people have gone mad because of the apocalypse and have run toward the zombies to get shredded into pieces by them?’

Shen Chen smirked and was about to say something else, but he saw Xiao Li running out of the room and Ye Tianlong following stealthily behind her!

Shen Chen’s heart leapt into his throat. He stood up quickly with the Black Blade in his hand and said quietly, “You go get some rest. I’m going out for a walk.”

Ye Xiaoyu stared at his retreating figure in bewilderment as he weaved through the crowd to chase after Ye Tianlong. In his haste, Shen Chen didn’t bother being discreet. He stood outside the door, near the staircase, where he discovered a man and a woman running down the stairs. He quickly chased after them.

Not long after, a woman’s voice was heard crying, “Let go of me! Bast*rd!” followed by a man growling. There was then the sound of fabric being torn.

The fury in Shen Chen was ignited. As expected, Ye Tianlong was a scumbag just like he had been in his past life! Even if the apocalypse in this life had just begun, it was apparent that Ye Tianlong was a scumbag through and through!

No one knew what Shen Chen was feeling at that moment! From the moment he first saw him, there was a sense of familiarity! Ye Tianlong! He was a Seventh Tier master who was known for being savage and cruel! He loved eating human flesh and killing humans!

In the previous life, a Fourth Tier neo-human was pursued by Ye Tianlong and had taken shelter in a village home. The following morning, when that man was back from hunting for food, he realized that all six to seven members of that family had been slain and hung out to dry like flags on a pole.

Yes, their flesh and skin had been separated, and their skins, still attached to their heads, had been made into flags! And their bodies had been ruthlessly thrown to the ground, feasted upon by dozens of vultures. His methods had been extremely cruel! Ruthless!

Ye Tianlong became notorious after this matter came to light. Many Seventh Tier masters tried to eradicate him but no one managed to defeat him! Instead, all of them were tortured to death and made into human totem poles, left to dry till only the skeletons remained. They were then put up as a symbol of his “glorious achievements” in the territories he owned. One of them was his best friend! Ye Tianlong, who looked honest and trustworthy, was actually a sick b*stard!

Shen Chen’s breathing became uneven as the painful memories flooded his head. The Black Blade flashed in his hand, as if sensing the pain of its owner. He raised the Black Blade and his movements accelerated!
