Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 82: The Last Devouring Spirit Insect!

"Don't kill me, I confess, I confess everything!"

"All of this was forced upon us by Liu Hong. We didn't want to kill anyone, really. Those few were our coworkers, we worked together, ate and drank together, we were friends. We really didn't want to kill them!"

Seeing that their four companions ahead had all perished, Liu Zimo and the other three showed no signs of sparing them.

Another worker sitting next to Liu Hong collapsed, tears streaming down his face as he cried out loudly.

"You have to believe me! I used to be a good person, I wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken, let alone harm someone else's life!"

"It's all Liu Hong's fault!"

"He was the one who first suggested that there wasn't enough food in the basement to sustain all of us. If there were too many people, we would all starve to death."

"So, on the second day in the basement, he forced us to take hammers and, while our coworkers were asleep, we... killed them all."

"Later, Liu Hong forced us to dismember the bodies of our coworkers and turn their flesh and organs into jerky, as our future substitute food..."

"Sob... I swear, I didn't want to do this!"

"I just... I also want to survive. I'm afraid that if I don't obey, I'll end up being slaughtered and eaten by them!"

"Damn it, who would want to kill and eat others if they could live well?"

"It's all because of this damn world! How did it suddenly become the end of the world?!"

The middle-aged worker broke down, crying and sobbing.

On the other hand, Liu Hong, hearing the middle-aged worker's lament and accusation, sneered disdainfully.

"Wu Rengui, do you think anyone will believe you after you've cleaned yourself up like this?"

"And you say it was all my doing?"

"Yes, I did suggest it at the beginning, but did any of you oppose it?"

"And before, when we were eating that jerky down there, I didn't see you eat any less!"

"Wu Shao'an, don't you remember? That was your own cousin. He died at whose hands, do I need to remind you?"

"And it's all my fault? Bullshit!"

"You're just a hypocrite who wants to have it both ways. If you're afraid of death, just say so. Don't falsely accuse me here!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Rengui trembled violently, waving his hands repeatedly.

"No, no, no, I didn't kill my cousin, I didn't!"

"He did it willingly, yes, he willingly let me smash him to death... It's not my fault, I... I just wanted to survive, what's wrong with that..."

"But you, Liu Hong, dare you say that when you killed Foreman Lao Zhao, it wasn't out of personal grudge, wasn't it to retaliate against him for deducting six days' wages from you last month?"

"And don't think I don't know, the reason you kept the five of us is not out of goodwill. When all the food in the basement is gone, we five will be your next source of food, am I right?"

"..."

The two of them sat on the ground, exposing each other's dark and cruel deeds in the basement. The level of bloodiness and brutality completely shattered Zhao Hongzhang and Liu Zihao's worldview.

On the other hand, Liu Zimo seemed to have long been accustomed to such things.

With the advent of the end times, people's hearts changed. In the dark corners where military law and order could not be maintained, even more cruel things than killing and eating others were happening all the time.

The reason why he left Liu Hong and the other person behind and allowed them to expose each other's secrets was to let his nephew and younger brother recognize the cruel ecology of the end times earlier.

One must not have malicious intentions, but one must never be without vigilance.

Compared to the threat of the monsters outside the city, the hearts of some people inside the city could sometimes be even more terrifying and deadly.

"That's enough! You two bastards deserve to die!"

Hearing about the evil deeds committed in the basement, Liu Zihao's anger surged, and he suddenly shouted in anger. He raised his leg and kicked Liu Hong and the other person, sending them flying out of the hall and falling onto the open ground a hundred meters away.

[Your good brother Liu Hong has had a string of bad luck and died unexpectedly in battle.

The 'Stealing Heaven' talent attribute has been passively triggered, and you have inherited half of the remaining gifts from your good brother Liu Hong before his death. Decoration skill +10, martial arts cultivation +5, spiritual power +2, soul strength +3.]

[Your good brother Liu Hong has gone offline. Currently available binding targets (51/60)]

[...]

"Your good brother Wu Rengui has gone offline. Currently, there are 50/60 available binding targets."

"They're all dead."

Liu Zimo gasped for breath, his anger still lingering in his eyes. Killing someone for the first time did not cause any psychological discomfort for him.

He only knew that he killed scum, perverts, and people who were not worth pitying!

He wasn't killing, he was eliminating evil!

Seeing this, Liu Zimo nodded in satisfaction.

He knew that his little brother had overcome the most difficult psychological barrier.

With this, his training for his little brother and nephew's survival in the apocalypse could be considered complete.

As for his father, as the leader of the supernatural abilities group, he would experience even more similar things in the future, so there was no need for Liu Zimo to deliberately arrange anything.

Moreover, his father's ability to protect himself now was not inferior to Liu Zimo, who was in the Manifestation Realm. Liu Zimo had no need to worry at all.

"Little nephew, what do you think of this place?"

Liu Zimo's thoughts moved slightly as he quietly moved the four bodies lying in the hall to the courtyard, then asked Zhao Hongzhang softly.

"This villa is far from the city, with few people around, and there are three basement levels underground, ensuring absolute quietness. It should meet the requirements you had before."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongzhang nodded slightly.

If it weren't for the fact that several construction workers had died and been buried in the basement, this would indeed be a very good choice.

But now, it seemed that there was some resistance in his heart, right?

However, as an intellectually gifted engineering student who was determined to develop new energy sources, Zhao Hongzhang quickly forced away the taboo and resistance in his heart.

After two calamities, at least tens of millions of people had died in the entire Luzhou City.

It could be said without reservation that there was hardly a building in Luzhou City that hadn't seen death, and no corner that hadn't been tainted with blood!

If he really hesitated and had taboos about such things, then there would be no place for him in Luzhou City.

His eldest nephew had a point.

That is, in the face of the apocalypse, survival is not easy. They have to learn to face, adapt to, and get used to many things.

"Let's go with this place, I'm very satisfied!"

Zhao Hongzhang firmly stated.

Just as he was about to ask Liu Zimo to take him to the basement for a look, his eyes suddenly brightened, as if a faint electric light flashed from outside the courtyard and instantly entered his mind.

Swish!

Zhao Hongzhang froze in place.

Liu Zimo, who also noticed this strange electric light, couldn't help but change his expression.

"Soul-devouring Worm?!"

After all, it wasn't the first time he had dealt with this kind of small creature. Liu Zimo recognized its origin the moment he saw the electric light.

He didn't dare to think too much and immediately sent a strand of divine sense, following the electric light, and swiftly entered his nephew's spiritual space!

At the same time.

The divine sense that Liu Zimo had left in his sea of consciousness to monitor "Yao Lingling" once again received the restless and agitated thoughts emanating from "Yao Lingling":

"Yao Twenty-One, well done!"

"I didn't expect it to have been hiding in the spiritual space of that human named Liu Hong. I almost fooled even me!"

"Seeing that it directly invaded Zhao Hongzhang's spiritual space, it must have also discovered Zhao Hongzhang's identity as an intellectual-type evolver!"

"What luck!"

"As long as it can evade the entanglement and attacks of the abnormal spiritual cultivator Liu Zimo and directly disrupt Zhao Hongzhang's spiritual consciousness, this great achievement will be in its hands!"

"To kill an intellectual-type evolver of the human race, this is something that billions of Yao in the Illusionary Demon Realm dream of!"

"I didn't expect that such a great achievement would fall directly into the hands of Yao Twenty-One, this fool!"

"Ah ah ah~! So annoying!"

"This achievement should have belonged to me, Yao Lingling! It's all because of this human freak, restricting my freedom and ruining my achievements. If I have the chance, I will definitely kill him!!"
