Chapter 36: Identity card

The sudden turn of events left the remaining four scumbags bewildered and shocked. The moment they had realized what transpired, they were frantically scrambling for their weapon and attempting to surround Liu Gan; to which Liu Gan reacted by raising the approximately 80kg Yellow checkered-shirt’s body over his head and vigorously tossing him towards two of the scumbags. After that, he rushed in front of the other two.

One of the two that Liu Gan was rushing towards raised the machete that he was carrying and hacked down forcefully at Liu Gan as soon as he was within reach. With swift agility, Liu Gan shifted his body sideways and beautifully dodged the machete. With one of his hands clenched into a fist, Liu Gan punched at the machete-wielding scumbag’s chest, easily blasting a bloody hole in his chest. The machete-wielding scum weakly crumbled to the ground, never to move ever again.

[TN: I sh*t you not, it says a hole]

The other pile of human-shaped dirt was filled with terror, appalled as he peered at his former ally whose face was touching the floor and had long since stopped moving. Thinking to himself, “F*ck, is he even human? A punch of his blew up a hole in his comrade’s chest…”

Liu Gan removed the machete from the dead scumbag’s hand and unhesitatingly hacked at the neck of the scumbag who was still in shock. With no resistance at all, the scumbag, now on the floor, was killed instantly.

The other two who were knocked down by the flying yellow checkered-shirt man Liu Gan had tossed earlier, were slowly getting up. As they were crushed by the heavy yellow checkered-shirt man, they were still in a daze as they stood up. The force of impact was as if a minicar ran into them. Hence, they met their maker shortly after, due to the inability to put up any resistance against Liu Gan who rushed towards them and hacked them to death.

Pan Hua, who was following behind, was thoroughly appalled at the scene and had stopped moving for a moment. After which he hurriedly rush towards LuLu, cutting loose the ropes that bound her wrists and legs. After which, with an embarrassed expression, spoke a few words to her.

LuLu continued to sit on the floor and sluggishly stared at Liu Gan. The slaughtering of those waste-of-space nobodies happened to fast that LuLu was still trying to make out what really happened.

“Boss, I am in the wrong. I should not have suspected you. I almost made the matter worse. I already knew that you were a good guy, you would definitely not harm LuLu.” Pan Hua walked towards Liu Gan and apologized sincerely.

Liu Gan coldly looked at Pan Hua and did not reply him. He turned around, picked up his backpack and went forward to search the bodies of the dead good-for-nothings.

Both Pan Hua and LuLu were too weak, especially LuLu. She was so timid that during her job as a sentry for the team, she could not even notify Liu Gan that something had happened in time. This type of stupidity was not tolerable at all. After what happened this morning, Liu Gan decided not to let them remain by his side.

To continue in this post apocalyptic world, a team with strong-willed and trustworthy members was the key to survival. Especially after a long and arduous day, if there weren’t any trustworthy teammate, sleeping was also considered very dangerous. No matter if it were zombies, other players or lucky survivors of The Trembling World, there were many latent dangers which forced people to remain guarded.

Even if there weren’t any suitable team member, Liu Gan couldn’t haphazardly let anymore random people form a team with him as it would only lead to a faster death for himself.

LuLu who finally gathered her wits, went over to the shivering naked lady and released her from the ropes. After that she supported her and lead her back into the hardware shop. LuLu then came out and walked towards the minimart as she recalled that the lady’s clothes were there.

Pan Hua gazed at Liu Gan who was raiding the corpses, hesitated for a moment, before picking up a machete and hurried to the side of LuLu who was trudging over to the minimart.

The loots gathered from the five scumbags were pretty good. Other than the two grenades that Yellow-checkered shirt had, Liu Gan managed to find a few packs of bread and bottles of drinks. There were even disinfectants and plasters; looks like they managed to plunder a drugstore.

Liu Gan also managed to find three cards on the Yellow checkered-shirt guy. The cards looked seemingly like some kind of identity cards and on them was the San Xing Corporation logo. Liu Gan cannot but furrowed his brow as he pondered the reason as to why the scumbags have these identity cards.

The photo on the identity card did not match any of the men. Liu Gan then walked into the pawn shop and compared the photos with the naked lady. Seeing that one of the photos was a perfect match, Liu Gan realized that the identity card would most probably belong to the naked lady.
