Upon hearing this, everyone from the Shiwuguan Base took a deep, cold breath. Chen Chaoyang had told them about the cruelty within the Qinshan Base, but turning human bodies into nutritional supplements crossed the moral line of humanity, didn’t it?
In their minds, the base was founded by GJ, and it should cater to the needs of the people like it did before the Apocalypse. Even if not, it shouldn’t be . However, the reality was far more horrific than they imagined!
It made sense. Although the Qinshan Base was originally managed by government officials, a series of changes had taken place. Now, Jin Liudong was in charge, nominally Li Songhua, but lives could be taken away with just a word from Jin Liudong!
Jin Liudong was just the boss of a company on the brink of bankruptcy before the Apocalypse. Who would believe that he would stay humane in this apocalyptic era? Impossible!
Even officials before the Apocalypse knew some restraint. But when ordinary people suddenly ascended to high positions, it was highly likely to cause even more chaos!
The Qinshan Base was now private property. Did they still expect it to consider the welfare of the people living there?
At this moment, they finally understood why some people in the Shiwuguan Base would claim that ordinary survivor bases were not as good as they seemed, and why they chose to stay in the Shiwuguan Base.
Tang Ye tilted his head, remembering a person from yesterday, a woman named Xu Minya.
"Do you know Xu Minya?" Tang Ye asked Chen Chaoyang.
"Xu Minya? Yes, you need her for something, boss?" Chen Chaoyang was a bit puzzled. How did Tang Ye know Xu Minya?
"Where can I usually find her? Ask her to come see me."
"She’s usually around here. You wait here, boss. I’ll go get her."
Although he didn’t know how Tang Ye knew Xu Minya, Chen Chaoyang didn’t ask. There must be a reason why he knew her; if he didn’t say, it wasn’t necessary to inquire. Asking too much could lead to trouble.
After Chen Chaoyang left, Tang Ye and the remaining few individuals sat on a circular sofa. The crowd around them kept their distance, looking at them with fearful eyes but not daring to stare.
Tang Ye smirked. It was his first time encountering humans who were this scared of him. Even when he was still in the transformation process, not yet fully a zombie or human, people would not show such fearful expressions at the sight of him.
It seemed that the higher-level New Humans commanded quite the awe. As for the level of awe, their attitudes gave it away. They probably wouldn’t resist whatever he did to them...
Time passed swiftly and half an hour flew by. Just as Tang Ye was getting impatient, he saw someone rush into the hall from the entrance.
There was a look of urgency and deep anxiety in her eyes. She had heard about the incident that happened here last night. She didn’t care much about a few deaths, as people died here every day, which people eventually stopped caring about.
However, when Chen Chaoyang told her that the five people killed were Li Henian’s men, she was shocked. After reporting the incident to Wang Qingfeng, the older man immediately hung up the phone, telling her that he was on his way here without even getting dressed.
As she entered the hall, she saw Tang Ye watching her from a distance, her heart pounding in trepidation.
Her heart filled with bitterness, she could only hope that this Li Henian was not brutal. Otherwise, certain death would be the only outcome, and escape would be impossible!
Her body trembling, she approached Tang Ye and tried to say something, unsure of how to address him. Any honorific she could think of didn’t seem to do justice to the man standing before her.
"Just call me Li Henian. No need to be formal."
Unexpectedly, there was no killing intent on Tang Ye’s face, as Xu Minya had imagined. Instead, he was smiling kindly, appearing very approachable.
But this made her more uneasy. There were too many people in the post-apocalyptic world - those who smile kindly on the surface but harbor malicious intentions in their hearts. One careless moment and they could kill you!
She had put Tang Ye into such a category at this point.
"Yes, yes, Mr.Li... What do you need, Mr. Li?"
"I fucking told you to call me Li Henian!"
Suddenly, the smile on Tang Ye’s face turned dark. His eyes narrowed and a murderous aura radiated from him, oppressing Xu Minya.
Feeling a chill running down her spine, she fell to the ground, her legs giving out. Under her black skirt, everything was exposed, attracting the lascivious gazes of a few men around her.
"What about the other four people? Don’t tell me you don’t know. You’re the manager here...hehe~ they were my people, but now they’ve been killed, and their bodies have been taken away by your people. Isn’t it time for an explanation?"
"Mr. Li... No, no, Li Henian, it’s not like that, let... let me explain. I really didn’t know...."
Tang Ye slammed his hand onto the wooden table in front of him. The innocent table instantly turned into powder. His strength was so immense that even the pulverization of the table couldn’t absorb all of it. The remaining force passed into the floor, cracking it.
"Hmph! I told you not to tell me you didn’t know."
Under the overwhelming pressure of the Level 6 New Human, Xu Minya tried to explain herself hastily. But she quickly regained her composure, turned to a few servers huddled in the distance and yelled, "What are you all standing there for? Bring out the bodies you took away last night!"
"..." The servers turned pale and quickly retreated. But before they had gone far, Xu Minya’s roaring voice rang out again, "If you can’t find the bodies, don’t bother living."
Upon hearing this, they nearly fell over. They stumbled a few steps and ran faster. At this point, they were praying that the workers in the back hadn’t processed the bodies that they brought in last night.
Just as they had hurriedly left the room, a voice as soft as falling pearls, crisp and melodious, sounded, "You can come back. You won’t find them. They’re here."
The servers turned to look and saw a girl in a white short-sleeved shirt and black shorts standing there. She was holding a large syringe in one hand, half-filled with a green liquid, the nature of which was unclear, and in the other hand, she was pulling a cart with four bodies. These were the four men who were killed by the Demon Claw Mercenary Group the night before.
Everyone turned to look at her, Tang Ye also turned his gaze on her, surprised.
Hers was a face hard to forget, with unique, naturally gentle eyes, a slim and slender figure, and... also flat-chested...
Wasn’t this Chen Bieli, who he had just encountered when he arrived at the Qinshan Base yesterday?
