Chapter 1448 - 842: Invasion of the Fraud Group (Part 2)
He felt even luckier that at the time he left the Western Alliance together with the Zhou Family.Although the journey was long and filled with various setbacks and hardships, had they not left back then, today’s fate of Gan Xiong and others would have been theirs.
You never know; a blessing in disguise?
The ancients were not wrong.
.......
Liu Cunyi reminisced about the past, a sense of regret in his eyes.
After this typhoon, both the Zhou and Liu families suffered considerable blows.
They had very few bullets, were always saving and reluctant to use them, but during this typhoon, they were almost entirely depleted.
They also lost more than half their personnel; his father, Liu Taishan, couldn’t hold on and fell prey to the Zombies.
Upon hearing Liu Cunyi inquire about rebuilding the houses, the Chief nodded and said, "Yes, we need to rebuild the houses. Having so many people cramped in such a small area is not feasible. We have to start working quickly, but right now, there’s another issue we need to address.
The typhoon destroyed all the crops; it’s truly a disaster. It’s July, the ears were just sprouting, in two more months we would have harvested... we have to find a way to save the crops, as much as we can. Both tasks need to be tackled together, they’re urgent matters."
Liu Cunyi looked at the Chief in front of him and inexplicably felt a sense of belonging.
To be honest, in the initial stage when the Zhou and Liu families joined, there were multiple conflicts with the original residents, they even considered overtaking them.
But there were too many people in the village, and they also had some muskets and cold weapons. With just their small number, the outcome would only be mutual destruction.
The relationship was never very good.
However, during this typhoon, while resisting the Zombies together, their relationship gradually improved.
No one had it easy; everyone suffered seriously.
They didn’t have the energy to continue fighting.
Even Ghost Head showed some goodwill towards Liu Zhengyi, although they didn’t get along before, but during the typhoon, Liu Zhengyi and the people from the Zhou family did stand together to resist the Zombies.
This fact couldn’t be denied.
Soon, under the mediation of the Chief, Ghost Head and Liu Cunyi allocated the upcoming tasks, synchronizing the repair of houses and the rescue of crops.
Once the matters were settled, the Chief looked at the only house that wasn’t destroyed by the typhoon behind him and said to Liu Cunyi, "If you have time later, have a chat with Zhang Rufen. Amu’s death hit him hard. Sigh....."
Hearing the Chief say this, Liu Cunyi had no choice but to nod.
Amu’s death severely affected Zhang Rufen.
A life and a half lost; Amu was pregnant with Zhang Rufen’s child, it was soon to be born, and the typhoon snatched away both his child and wife.
Back in the Western Alliance, Zhang Rufen lost all his family members.
He finally had a new family, only to have everything destroyed by the merciless typhoon.
On the day Amu was bitten to death by Zombies, amidst the raging typhoon, Zhang Rufen recklessly kept slaughtering Zombies until he fainted from exhaustion.
When he awoke, he stayed by Amu’s corpse, lifelessly. It was he who personally killed the Zombie that Amu had become.
Dissecting the abdomen, the baby showed no signs of life.
After waking up, Zhang Rufen sat by the body, silent and refusing to drink even a drop of water.
The Chief tried to persuade him, but it was to no avail.
It was as though he had become a soulless Walking Dead.
Upon seeing Liu Cunyi agree, the Chief nodded and then left.
.....
Kun City Red River, a place where ethnic minorities gather.
It’s already not far from the border, surrounded by countries like Myanmar, Lao Country, Cambodia, and other Southeast Asian countries.
Lao Country is the closest.
It’s only dozens of kilometers away from Red River.
Before Doomsday, many instances of human trafficking occurred along the border, frightening everyone in the country who heard about it.
Close to the border, a fraud industrial zone was formed for the purpose of deceiving the nation’s citizens.
Originally, the northern part of Lao Country was more turbulent, so the fraud zone on the border of Lao Country was even more rampant.
In this zone, they committed all sorts of atrocities, defrauding numerous people.
Before Doomsday, the zone wasn’t Doomsday, but it was as if it were.
The perverse methods conceivable by humans, here were beyond imagination, nothing was impossible for them.
The extreme degradation of humanity reached an unimaginable level.
After Doomsday, for them, it was a carnival.
The zone was already heavily fortified, surrounded by high walls.
Armed with firearms and artillery, during Doomsday, they seemed to have shed all burdens and grew even more frenzied.
Burning, killing, looting, they even set their sights on the north of Hua Country at one point.
But, when they crossed over, they happened to encounter Xiao Shi’s Grandpa, Mr. Ye, and others.
Though the team suffered great losses from the Zombie influence, encountering these border trespassers, Mr. Ye acted decisively, repelling these Madmen.
After learning their lesson, the fraud groups in these zones within Lao Country didn’t dare to come over again.
However, this typhoon, though there were tall walls, still dealt them a severe blow. Even their crops were blown to almost nothing by the typhoon.
Their place wasn’t originally developed, lacking supplies.
So, they considered that the typhoon might have affected the north too.
Coupled with an internal crisis of food shortages, they harbored ambitions once again, intending to raid supplies up north, even humans were food to them.
Cannibalism was nothing new to them.
In some high ranks within the fraud groups, they even researched how to prepare human dishes, how to make them delicious.
...
Lao Country.
Lai City, less than forty kilometers from Red River.
The Jinmu Face Zone, covering a vast area.
It’s the largest fraud zone in Lai City.
Before Doomsday, the population in this zone reached more than twenty thousand people.
And after Doomsday, nine-tenths of them died.
The zone was heavily restricted, with strict control on entry and exit.
These people didn’t starve to death, rather they were eaten by members of the fraud groups within.
They never went hungry, if hungry, they’d eat some of the people they defrauded.
After the typhoon, the zone was a mess.
Being close to the typhoon landing spot and covering a large area.
Zombies were blown in by the typhoon, greatly impacting the Jinmu Fraud Group.
This time, it further diminished their strength by nearly half.
They once tried having someone eat Zombies, but the person who ate the Zombie immediately lost his mind, his eyes became blood red, turning into something neither a Zombie nor a human.
Jinmu Zone.
The central building constructed of marble.
The director of the Jinmu Group, Gao Qing, looked grim, gazing at the subordinates below him.
With a deep voice, he said, "Since things are like this now, as I said, go north to scavenge resources, seek out people.
Does anyone have objections?!!"
No one spoke.
In front of them lay a fallen corpse, which belonged to the husband who had just tried to dissuade Gao Qing.
This was Gao Qing’s eighth husband.
Gao Qing’s husband had fervently advised against it, mentioning how others who ventured before suffered greatly, and warning that going again now, given the typhoon disaster, with their current losses.
Going again would lead to the collapse of the whole group.
He wasn’t wrong, the other subordinates thought the same.
But within the Jinmu Group, Gao Qing was king.
No one dared to defy her will or challenge her decisions.
Gao Qing shot dead her husband, who had been at her side even yesterday.
...
Seeing no one speaking, Gao Qing’s expression grew darker.
She said to the crowd, "No comments?"
Her tone carried a hint of impatience and bloodthirstiness.
Sensing Gao Qing’s displeasure, the subordinates quickly spoke up.
"The director is right, the typhoon just passed, it’s both a risk and an opportunity, I’ll follow the director’s lead."
"Yes, the director is right, I support unconditionally."
"That Zhao Feng was really asking for it, still dared to question the director’s orders."
.....
The hall suddenly became lively, endlessly proclaiming the director’s wisdom.
The central corpse appeared unnoticed by them.
Hearing them praise so, a hint of pride flashed across Gao Qing’s face.
Nonchalantly pointing to the corpse on the ground, she said, "Drag him out, it’ll be a feast for everyone, by the way, I want mine grilled."
No one found it inappropriate.
They had tasted several of Gao Qing’s husbands.
So, two people came forward, dragging Gao Qing’s husband towards the kitchen.
