Chapter 399: 224 Bear the Consequences (Second Update)

Besides these people, Fang Yuxin noticed another peculiar place. It was a three-story villa, built by villagers themselves, which had no distinctive style and seemed a bit out of place. Despite the villa’s imposing exterior, the interior decorations were monotonous and crude, failing to match its grand facade.

However, these weren’t the things that concerned Fang Yuxin. What caught her attention was that this modest villa was housing over a hundred people, and they were all women ranging from teenagers to those in their thirties.

They looked to be in dire straits, wearing thin clothes, with their hair sloppily tied back, their faces pale and slightly jaundiced, surrounded by dark circles under their eyes.

A chaotic and oppressive scent permeated the air of the entire villa, obviously not a good place.

After retracting her Spiritual Sense, Fang Yuxin’s expression darkened considerably, looking rather unpleasant.

Bai Ye was secretly observing her expression and became worried when he saw her displeased look. He telepathically asked, "Yuxin, what’s wrong?"

Fang Yuxin glanced disdainfully at the people guarding the door opposite her and telepathically replied, "I detest this place, let’s take action."

Bai Ye didn’t know why Fang Yuxin felt this way, but he also sensed her strong aversion to the place, and guessed she must have discovered something. Since Fang Yuxin wasn’t willing to explain, he didn’t press further. Instead, he signaled to his four subordinates, leading the charge out.

He was actually tired of playing games with the opponents; since Fang Yuxin didn’t want to continue, he saw no need to keep the previous game going.

No one expected them to strike suddenly. The leader’s face filled with panic as he exclaimed, "We’re all survivors, let’s talk this over. Why resort to violence over a minor issue?"

Regrettably, no one paid him any attention. Following Bai Ye’s lead, the Yongcheng Team members all looked to Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang for orders.

Fang Yuxin didn’t speak up directly, as Fang Yuyang was the captain of their team. She merely telepathically said to Fang Yuyang, "Brother, let’s start."

Itching for a fight, Fang Yuyang raised his hand and gave the command: "Take action!"

Together they numbered only sixteen against the opposing three hundred, clearly at a numerical disadvantage. Thus, the best strategy for the battle was to strike with overwhelming force, subduing the leading six and intimidating the rest.

While she disliked the actions and attitudes of these people, Fang Yuxin knew that they were among the few skilled members of the settlement. If they were all killed, the remaining people wouldn’t stand a chance against the zombie onslaught; it would be a death sentence!

If these people died because of her, she would be held accountable for their deaths, and she wasn’t willing to take on such a heavy burden. Even setting aside this responsibility, she didn’t want to see so many people die for nothing.

Since the apocalypse began, a large number of people had turned into zombies, the human population had plummeted, and those who had survived were already few in number. Moreover, with the living conditions deteriorating, the survivors continued to die off.

Allowing the survivors to be killed by zombies or mutated creatures not only benefited the enemy but also led to an even fewer number of survivors. In the long run, very few might remain alive, possibly even leading to extinction!

Fang Yuxin wasn’t arrogant enough to take on the heavy responsibility of securing the continuation of her species, but she was clear on what should and shouldn’t be done.

The so-called ten strongest people in this settlement were only at the Level 1 Middle Stage of superpower; they were no match for Fang Yuxin and her team. To minimize casualties, they refrained from using lethal weapons and Skills, relying solely on their fists to completely take their opponents down.

The onlookers turned pale as Fang Yuyang’s Wind Blade swept past their scalps, and those unlucky enough to be hit were instantly bald. The bone-chilling pain from the Blade’s touch instilled a deep-seated fear in them!

Xu Wu somehow managed to get atop a vehicle with a heavy machine gun, and when the dark muzzle aimed at the people of the settlement, no one dared to make a move.

They clutched their weapons tightly, which was the only thing giving them a slight sense of security. Their gaze towards Fang Yuxin and her companions was filled with anger and dread, as if they viewed them as despicable and brutal invaders, executioners out to take their lives!

Bai Ye took in their frightened expressions but offered no Calming words. Instead, he said sternly, "Now, put down your weapons."

Nobody complied; instead, they instinctively gripped their weapons even tighter.

This was their last comfort, their hope for survival! They couldn’t let go, absolutely not!

However, not everyone had such courage. When Bai Ye’s icy and sharp gaze swept over their faces one by one, some couldn’t stand it any longer and reluctantly opened their hands.

Bai Ye pointed to an open space in front of them and said again, "Those willing to lay down your weapons, throw them here, and then stand to the right. I’m giving you one minute to consider. After a minute, you’re on your own!"

Fang Yuxin glanced at Bai Ye, not believing he was the type to ruthlessly kill them all. Although the people here were excessive, they weren’t irredeemable scoundrels guilty of heinous crimes. Bai Ye wouldn’t want their lives.

Otherwise, he would have been holding the replica Dragon Scale Sword, not a stick.

Sadly, the residents of the settlement didn’t understand Bai Ye as she did. The mention of "you’re on your own" scared many, who quickly tossed their weapons onto the designated spot Bai Ye had indicated and obediently stood to the right.
