Chapter 83 Deduct Supplies From Your Share
Zhou Tao, who was just about to leave, suddenly stopped dead in his tracks.
He was already in a bad mood.
Ever since they left the mall two days ago, they had been on tenterhooks almost every moment, terrified that they might be bitten and have their throats torn out by zombies in their sleep.
The woman in the car had become an outlet for several men's frustrations, her body covered in wounds and residual fluid.
But even this was far from enough.
The despair for the future was like an ever-growing boulder, pressing on their hearts, becoming heavier as time passed.
This nearly suffocating pressure made everyone's desire to vent even stronger.
"Kid, who are you trying to scare?"
"I, for one—"
A man in his thirties, wearing a shirt, was the first to lose his patience.
He turned around, intending to curse someone, but his pupils shrank violently the moment he turned his head, and he quickly swallowed back the foul language that reached his lips.
By the side of the truck, unnoticed until now, more than a dozen figures had appeared, all wearing an eerie smile mask on their faces.
If you looked closely, you would notice that their uniforms were all the same.
Blue security uniforms.
The security guards quickly gathered on both sides of Zhang Ye, their hands holding a variety of homemade weapons, eying Zhou Tao and the others with a menacing look.
Meanwhile, the zombies had already crossed the intersection.
They were surrounded.
"Zhou, what do we do now?"
The middle-aged man who had been impatient just moments before immediately turned cowardly, his lips trembling as he spoke.
On the left were zombies, and on the right was Zhang Ye.
They were caught in the middle.
Zhou Tao didn't say a word, his gloomy eyes quickly assessing the situation on both sides, eventually landing on Zhang Ye and his group.
They couldn't handle the zombies, which left only one option.
To start with the living.
With this in mind, his face immediately showed a contrite smile as he began to move closer to Zhang Ye.
"Director Zhang, the thing in the corridor the other day was my fault."
"It's all my fault! My fault for being too cowardly!"
"Afraid of Chen Bingjiang!"
Zhou Tao's face showed an increasingly strong sense of guilt as he got closer to Zhang Ye.
As he spoke, he lowered his head, looking very ashamed.
The words from his mouth became more and more exaggerated.
"I'm not human!"
"I really am not worth anything!"
"Compared to Director Zhang, I'm just trash!"
Seeing this, the others followed suit, and soon seven or eight people started admitting their wrongs as if they were criminals in a courtroom, vying with one another.
It seemed as if in the next second they were about to spout a plea of guilty and accept punishment.
But from the beginning to the end, Zhang Ye had no response, merely squinting at Zhou Tao, who moments ago was defiant and now approached him like an ostrich.
Wang Hu was also puzzled by the man's rapid change.
But upon further thought, it seemed somewhat understandable.
The circumstances had changed, after all.
Anyone with a normally functioning brain could see the current situation clearly, caught between the wolf in front and the tiger behind.
Either submit or resign to fate, they had to choose one.
It seemed they had chosen the former.
But just when Zhou Tao had his head down, seemingly crying bitterly, his voice hitched, and he suddenly raised his head!
His fierce gaze fixed intently on Zhang Ye, who was just a few steps away!
Wang Hu was startled.
This isn't good!
They'd been fooled!
This kid's putting on a show!
Instinctively, he moved to protect Zhang Ye, who appeared stunned, only to find it was too late!
Zhou Tao let out a loud shout, and a glinting dagger he had concealed appeared in his hand, thrust towards Zhang Ye's direction!
Apologize?
He had never even considered it.
That day in the corridor, having seen Zhang Ye kill Yellow Hair with his own eyes, he knew this man was far from magnanimous.
Having offended him twice before, and considering the tone he just used,
did he really think he would be treated well if he fell into Zhang Ye's hands?
That was pure fantasy!
So, it was better to feign weakness and go all out while he had the chance!
It appeared he had succeeded now, Zhang Ye clearly hadn't expected him to launch a sudden attack; he seemed to have seen a flash of surprise in the other's eyes.
Die, Zhang Ye!
Zhou Tao's eyes flashed with malice, barely concealing a hint of jealousy and resentment.
Why, when they were about the same age, did he have to trail behind Xu Lin like a police dog every day, while Zhang Ye had so many subordinates and even a top-notch woman by his side?
The heavens are truly damn unfair!
As he thought this, he suddenly noticed the view in front of him darken, and Zhang Ye's detestable face simply vanished.
In its place was a large, sturdy body.
Puchi.
The dagger sank in up to the hilt. Discover hidden content at empire
But the man in front of him made no sound at all.
At that moment, Zhou Tao almost felt he was not facing a living being but a cold and insensate corpse.
Before he could react, he found himself suddenly grasped by the corpse-like figure.
Beneath the smiling mask were a pair of eyes red with frenzy.
Crack.
"Aaaaah!"
Zhou Tao cried out in agony.
His arm had been twisted and broken by the strange man in front of him, then forcibly wrenched behind his back.
Before he could struggle, two uniformed security guards approached from the side.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
"I beg—"
"Aaaaah!"
As the same sense of restraint came upon his other arm, Zhou Tao finally felt fear and instinctively wanted to beg for mercy.
But before he could speak, the intense pain from his arm made him scream again.
Cold sweat ran down his forehead like raindrops.
Pinned to the floor, Zhou Tao's face was distorted; he was unable to speak, merely gasping for air.
At the same time, the men who had followed him in approaching Zhang Ye had also been subdued.
They were lifted by the limbs by the security guards like dolls, and after a series of screams, their limbs were broken one after another, ultimately tossed onto the floor like dead dogs.
The lone woman who had remained standing still, stunned by the tragedy before her, suddenly knelt down and started weeping.
"I, I didn't know anything!"
"I was coerced!"
"Please, I'm begging you, spare me, I can give you whatever you want!"
As she spoke, the woman took off the clothes wrapped around her, revealing that beneath them, she wasn't even wearing underwear, thus baring her body in front of Zhang Ye.
Just as Zhang Ye was about to speak, he felt two intense gazes upon him.
One was Ai Bing's, filled with sympathy and pleading.
The other was Wang Hu's.
The big, burly man with a fierce face suddenly became somewhat shy, talking in a hesitant and bashful manner.
"Um, boss,"
"I think my bed is still lacking a woman, you see..."
Zhang Ye looked at him with disdain. The man wanted her even after she had been turned into a cream puff?
This guy really isn't picky at all.
"She's yours,"
"Deduct it from your share."
