Chapter 37 Justice in My Heart
Chapter 37 Justice in My Heart
The hunchbacked man gripped the dagger tightly in his hand, his eyes gleaming with malice.
He suddenly stood up and rushed towards Chen Yang.
However, before he could reach Chen Yang, a giant sword blocked his path.
The dagger struck the greatsword with a clanging sound.
The sound woke up Wu Xia and Song Bailing from their sleep.
The hunchbacked man glared at the man with the giant sword through gritted teeth.
"You fucking ruined my plans!"
Upon hearing this, the man with the giant sword merely glanced down at the hunchbacked man before coldly stating, "The human population is already small enough."
"Damn it, what do I care about the human population? All I know is I'm starving. If you try to stop me from finding food, I'll eat you!"
As he spoke, the hunchbacked man began to grip the poisoned dagger and attack the man with the greatsword.
Although the greatsword looks impressive, it's not convenient at all in such a narrow space.
Not to mention that the Greatsword Man was merely a crippled virus adaptor.
Even after adapting to the virus, he was left with only one arm and one eye.
"Enough! Don't think I won't kill you!"
The man with the giant sword was getting impatient as the hunchbacked man kept chasing and hitting him.
"Oh, really? Then come on! I'm going to die either way, starve or be beaten! Do you think I'm afraid?"
The hunchbacked man cursed and then rushed forward.
The dagger in her hand was pointed at the greatsword man's throat.
But in that instant, a hand suddenly reached out and grasped the dagger.
Fresh blood flowed down the dagger's groove.
[You have been invaded by a powerful neurotoxin. Reaction +38]
"Hahaha, this is the first time I've ever seen food delivered to my door."
Seeing the wounds Chen Yang had suffered from his dagger, the hunchbacked man laughed heartily.
Beside him, the man with the giant sword looked at Chen Yang with regret.
"You shouldn't have saved me." His voice was indifferent, as if his life was worthless and not worth Chen Yang's efforts.
"Hey, stop being so narcissistic, okay? Who said I was going to save you?"
After saying that, Chen Yang ignored the man with the giant sword and turned to look at the hunchbacked man instead.
"What? You're having fun trying to take advantage of me? You're laughing so happily."
Upon hearing this, the smile on the hunchbacked man's face vanished instantly.
"You! How could you be like this! This is poison! You shouldn't still be able to speak!"
He looked at Chen Yang in disbelief.
You should know that he went to great lengths to collect this poison.
It has never failed to poison people.
"This is impossible!" he shouted as he tried to pull the dagger back.
But Chen Yang's strength was an insurmountable barrier for someone like the hunchbacked man who was not adapted to the physical condition.
It cannot be shaken in the slightest.
"There are plenty of impossible things. But I'll borrow your dagger and play with it."
As he spoke, Chen Yang summoned the [Vampire Sword] with his other hand, and then, to everyone's astonishment, he swung the sword and severed the hunchbacked man's hand that was holding the dagger.
"what!"
Instantly, blood gushed out from the severed limb.
The hunchbacked man was in so much pain that he kept rolling around on the ground.
Chen Yang didn't even glance at it; he just looked at the poisoned dagger in his hand and made another cut on his arm.
[You have been invaded by a powerful neurotoxin. Reaction +18]
At this point, Chen Yang's reaction time had reached 221 points.
"Tsk, the results are getting worse each time."
Shaking his head, Chen Yang threw the poisoned dagger at the hunchbacked man who was rolling on the ground.
They aimed at his throat.
If no one had intervened, the dagger would have undoubtedly pierced the hunchback's throat, killing him instantly.
But then, there was another loud crash.
A greatsword blocked the dagger, sending it flying to the ground.
"We humans should not kill each other."
The man with the giant sword stepped forward at this moment.
Just now, he wasn't protecting Chen Yang; he simply didn't want humans to fight amongst themselves.
So now, when Chen Yang is about to kill the hunchbacked man, he stands up again.
However, the hunchbacked man, who had escaped with his life, did not thank the man with the giant sword: "What are you pretending to be a good guy for? You stray dog! You should have just stood by and watched from the beginning! I've lost an arm anyway, so I'll take you with me now!"
After saying that, the hunchbacked man pounced on the giant sword man as if he had gone mad.
In desperation, since he only had a giant sword in front of him, the giant swordsman, nicknamed Wild Dog, had no choice but to draw his sword and hold it in front of him.
Because of this action, the hunchbacked man crashed head-on into the sword's edge.
Instantly, blood splattered all over the ground.
The hunchbacked man's life ended at the hands of the giant swordsman.
Blood splattered on the greatsword man's boots, warm and sticky.
He paused for a moment.
The vibrations from the sword's edge traveled through his remaining arm into his body.
...died.
They weren't killed by zombies, nor by hunger, but by people he killed with his own hands.
The man with the giant sword looked down at the corpse lying at his feet.
He shouldn't have drawn his sword.
He only wanted to block it, to stop it, to bring it to a halt.
But reality never gives him a choice.
"Stray dogs..."
This word was like a thorn stuck in his head.
Yes, stray dogs.
The crippled survivors in the apocalypse only cling to outdated beliefs, meddling in other people's business even though they can't save anyone.
He once believed that humans were still alive because they hadn't completely turned into beasts.
But now, that greatsword is dripping blood.
This proves that he is no different in essence from those bloodthirsty guys.
"We shouldn't kill each other..."
The words echoed in his mind, yet seemed incredibly ironic.
He will die if he doesn't draw his sword.
If you draw your sword, someone will die.
It turns out that the so-called bottom line was just that we hadn't been pushed into a corner yet.
The man with the giant sword slowly tightened his grip, his knuckles turning white.
He felt neither relieved by the hunchback's death nor proud of his own sense of justice.
There is only a deeper kind of exhaustion.
A kind of weariness that comes after the reality has been confirmed.
In this world, a stray dog that wants to become a human will pay a price.
And he has paid the price time and time again.
"Chen Yang, what exactly happened just now?" Song Bailing approached Chen Yang at this moment.
The scene inside the house frightened her a little.
The main problem was that she woke up halfway through the journey and didn't know what had happened.
Then they saw a corpse with half of its body hanging from the blade of the giant sword.
"It's nothing, it's all in the past."
Since the hunchbacked man had already died at the hands of this stray dog, he could save his energy.
"Let's continue resting. We'll be going out to gather more intelligence tomorrow."
After Chen Yang finished speaking, he sat down again, found a more comfortable position, and continued his night watch.
His performance surprised Song Bailing, who felt that this temporary teammate was too calm.
However, Song Bailing dared not let her guard down and didn't dare to sleep all night.
Wu Xia, on the other hand, trusted William so much that she even started snoring in her sleep.
