Chapter 387: The Crowd

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The barrack was emptied of its furniture that even the beds had been disassembled and removed. This particular military base was located within the inner parts of the mountain - thus, the place was dim and damp. Corroded walls were regularly seen besides the mosses that had been growing all over the walls. A familiar odor suddenly filled the air. There was a mutated human struggling on the floor. She was wrapped in a net and tightly tied with a rope. It seemed that there was no way for her to escape.

She did not know why they would catch her as she thought they were of the same species. Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching and she stopped struggling abruptly. She held her breath and shivered as she was terrified.

"Boss, the mutated human is really pretty. I've never met such a beautiful woman in my life!" A perverted-looking man spoke. "I guess she's still a virgin as her skin is as smooth as silk!" He continued describing their new prisoner.

The audience could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. They would have sexually pleasured themselves if the boss were not here. The reason why they reacted this way was that there were only a small number of women who survived. The dark side of human nature was always exposed under such extreme and undesirable circumstances. For example, as soon as they were out of food, they would eat each other for the sake of their survival. It was one of the hardest times the people in the sanctuary had encountered.

Dead bodies had become their source of food for quite a long period of time now. The elderly, ill and disabled were their first targets to be eliminated and eaten. Most of the time, this would be the women that were not capable of protecting themselves. Eventually, the weak were eliminated one by one as the survivors became hungry cannibalistic wolves.

When hunting for food had become too difficult for them and the stress was beyond what they could cope with, they shifted their attention to other things like sexual desires. Only then did they realize that not many women had survived and the ones that did probably did give them any lustful thoughts. Among the survivors, only 20 of them were women and most of them were strong. Hence, it was easy to understand the value of a beautiful woman to these people. They are a rare gem and if they were pretty enough, they could easily trigger the sexual desires of the remaining survivors.

Going back to the boss, he was short with rather dark skin and always carried a smile on his face. Due to this, he did not look like an ordinary boss. However, he was one of the leaders of the sanctuary. This was Cao Cao!

As he listened to how these people described the beauty of their new prized possession, he was slightly turned on and was very intrigued. "Is she really that beautiful or is there something wrong with your eyes? How could describe this mutated woman like a gentle female human? Open the door and show me how pretty this mutated woman is!" The boss teased him.

"Boss, why don’t you trust me? Anyway, you'll understand real soon. However, you should know that she's very strong and agile. You have to be careful. Brother Chen was injured as he wasn't aware when it happened!" The man replied.

"She was caught alive by you, how could she threaten our boss? Monkey Wang, how can that be?" One of his subordinates spoke.

"Don't get me wrong. Our boss is certainly the strongest…" The pervert who was addressed as Monkey Wang said immediately as the boss scowled.

"Stop spewing nonsense and open the door!" Cao Cao ordered impatiently.

The pervert immediately zipped his mouth shut and opened a rusty lock. The door was subsequently opened. The room was dimly lit by a flickering torch but with just one glance, she caught everyone's attention. Cao Cao's expression changed as well. Even though was the boss, his woman was only considered to have average looks as compared to their new prisoner. Because the place was damp and dim, most of the people here were suffering from skin diseases. Therefore, he had never met any women that were as healthy as her since the apocalypse. As soon as he managed to gather his thoughts, he coughed when he saw that his subordinates were acting foolishly. "Stop looking and get out," he smiled as he spoke.

They looked away despite their reluctance and hesitantly walked out of the cave. They looked back at the mutated woman from time to time and secretly gulped. Suddenly, there was a person running in a panicked state and shouted, "Boss, something bad has happened!"

Cao Cao gave him a slap on the cheek and said, "What's wrong? Relax. The sky isn't going to fall." The person was only able to recover from shock after a few seconds, which felt like hours given the circumstances. He gulped as Cao Cao frowned and spoke, "Someone has invaded our base!"

All of a sudden, one of his subordinates suddenly fell in front of him. The next moment, he saw a man dash swiftly towards him. A thrill flashed within Cao Cao’s head as he witnessed the person's attire and strength. The way this person was equipped meant too much to them and he had not realized that there were evolved humans that were so powerful living this near to them.

Maintaining a neutral expression, he calmly signaled to one of them. That person immediately left the room. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as he said, "Hey friend, where are you from? Why did you come here?"

This person was Luo Yuan, of course. He looked at the crowd in front of him and slowly walked forward. These people were skinny and dirty. Some of them wore animal skin on their waists while others walked around naked. Most of them were holding rifles while some of them held guns. Even the military forces at the Reconstruction Area were better than them. Besides the evolved humans in the base, as long it was Luo Yuan's intention, he could definitely conquer all of them in no time. Fortunately, he was not here to kill. Many people died after the apocalypse. It was rare to witness a group humans that managed to survive until this day.

Luo Yuan was standing 20 meters away from Cao Cao and said in a deep voice, "I believe you're a wise man and I'm not looking for trouble. This mutated human is from my group. Can you please hand her over to me?"

"Mutated human? Did I miss something? I've never seen an evolved or mutated human before. Perhaps, I can help you ask around. Probably some other people might know of it as I'm not the only leader here." Luo Yuan could already sense the existence of mutated and evolved humans in the area. He felt sickened and was growing a little impatient so he asked, "So, I guess you're not willing to be honest, huh?"

Cao Cao's face turned gloomy and said, "It is well said that if you're a friend, we have fine wines to serve; if you're a wolf, we have shotguns to hunt with. You're welcomed here if you're here as a guest so shall we take the time to talk if there's anything you want to say?"

Luo Yuan smiled coldly and slowly pulled out his Zhanmadao. He was getting even more impatient and said, "This is your last chance to hand her over to me. Otherwise, it'll be too late to regret."

Cao Cao's face darkened. He did not know why but he felt a sense of insecurity. Looking at Luo Yuan slowly pulling out a long black saber, he shivered as he hesitated to hand over the mutated woman to him.

His thoughts were disrupted as he heard the sound of footsteps. His team of snipers had arrived. There were over 10 of them and each of them had a rifle in hand that was ready to shoot through the narrow passage. He believed that there was no way anyone could survive regardless of how strong an evolved man could be so he commanded in a cold voice, "Kill him and let's have a human feast tonight!"

"Damn!" Luo Yuan cursed.

Before he had finished his speech, Luo Yuan had disappeared. In a blink of an eye, blood splattered all around them.

Among the people, Cao Cao was the only one who barely managed to witness the shadow that killed everyone. It shocked him to the core and he retreated a few meters backward. His vision gradually went black with a sudden dizziness and a coldness in his throat. He then fell to the ground.

Luo Yuan did not want to kill too many people. He kept his Zhanmadao after killing a few of them who were standing in front of him. The rest of them were terrified and looked as though they were on the verge of a mental break down. They had no more fighting spirit within them. They threw away their guns and ran away in a panic. Soon, the passage was emptied. Looking at the dead bodies, Luo Yuan sighed and headed towards the barracks.
