Chapter 1500: Chapter 1495: Not Guilty of Death

"Now you know how tough we are, right? Next time you act tough with us, we’ll hit you every time we see you. Call us ’Bro’ already!"

Before long, the group of teenagers stopped their assault, a look of satisfaction on their faces.

But soon, they realized there weren’t just themselves here. Seemed like someone else was present?

One of them turned his head towards Tang Ye, and upon seeing him, let out a shocked scream, as if he had seen a ghost!

"Crap! We’ve been seen!"

"Damn it!"

As Tang Ye’s presence was noticed by one, the rest of the teenagers quickly turned their gaze towards him. Discovering an outsider, Tang Ye, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly turned awkward. In that instant, everyone stopped their violence and looked at Tang Ye with fear.

"Li Yang?"

The middle school teenager with a cigarette in his mouth also realized belatedly at the call of his peer, and upon seeing Tang Ye, dropped the cigarette from his hand in fright.

Meanwhile, Tang Ye’s thoughts immediately went to the content within the letter from Lu Xiaojie – the imperative to adhere to the prescribed rules.

At the same time, the feeling that everything happening in front of him was manipulated by someone else grew stronger and felt more discordant and false.

That was the most important clause marked out! Also, it was the most enigmatic!

Tang Ye couldn’t remember all the words of the last rule, but he remembered the entire content, and remembered that such a situation had already been covered by the rule. Based on Tang Ye’s understanding of the last Prescribed Rule, did this count as one?

His gaze met that of the few teenagers. Compared to Tang Ye’s demeanor, their faces wore more tension. It was evident that the muscles all over their bodies were taut, as if bracing for something bad to happen.

The boy who had been beaten to the ground burst into tears upon seeing Tang Ye, as if he had met a savior who could rescue him from endless suffering.

Initially, Tang Ye thought their hurriedly flashing figures and the half-cry for "help" meant they’d encountered something monstrous, so he came to see in subjective curiosity, but was it just a fight? Before the Apocalypse, such incidents were common, with the usual approach being to downplay major issues and dismiss minor ones unless an incident was too serious to ignore.

And such matters were seemingly insignificant to Tang Ye, right?

The oddity revealed by this event grew. Before Tang Ye could ponder more deeply, the familiar sense of being an old actor knocked on the "door" again, forcing him to let go.

However, he didn’t want to waste time on this matter. As for violating the Prescribed Rules, he was like a dead pig not fearing boiling water, and with so many lions, why fear the itch? How could he care?

Shaking his head, Tang Ye was about to leave. But before he could take action, he frowned, as the thing he had forgotten earlier once again surfaced in his mind.

You must adhere to the Prescribed Rules!

The letter delivered to him by Lu Xiaojie, through the front desk lady, had no explanations about what he would encounter, what he would see, or what he should do. But if one had to say, there seemed to be a reminder: no matter what he encountered, he must adhere to the Prescribed Rules? And it was repeated, emphasizing this point!

Remembering this, Tang Ye immediately dispelled his earlier thoughts. Everything that had happened since before was just too bizarre. The suddenly back to normal Tang Ye of Xi River city didn’t know what to do next, without even a hint of a clue, and the first feeling for him was trouble and complication, as if he were stuck and unable to move forward.

This might already be the worst-case scenario. Upon reflection, the Prescribed Rules he had violated seemed trivial, but this last one he encountered for the first time. Among the rules, Lu Xiaojie specifically reminded everyone of its utmost importance, what could happen if it was violated?

Many things remained unknown, and everything Tang Ye saw left him feeling a little lost; the situation was already pretty bad!

This fear of unknown consequences made Tang Ye hesitate. Indeed, such behaviour should be stopped, but it didn’t deserve death, right?

He thought to himself, but in the next instant, he felt conflicted. When had he become so indecisive? The way of survival in the Apocalypse was to go to any length for profit. He should avoid anything that might lead to a bad outcome. Compared to these hopeless old players in front of him, he still had a chance. Moreover, if he killed them, they wouldn’t truly die.

Why should he worry about the guilt of killing a few kids? Is this what people mean by getting softer with age? But he wasn’t that old, and before he came here, he never thought he’d hesitate to shed some blood.

"Damn it!"

Cursing under his breath, Tang Ye felt he might have been influenced by some factors in this false world and his gaze turned icy.

The last of the Prescribed Rules he had come across, for the sake of the letter, he would play it straight just this once. If the only solution was to kill the assailants, he would follow through!

He scrutinized the kids in front of him, finally focusing on Li Yang, who previously held the cigarette. There was a mole on his cheek, and his hair was cut in the trendy "bowl" style. At first glance, he seemed ordinary, but after closer observation, Tang Ye suddenly realized this Li Yang was the kid in the picture held by that woman he saw upon his abrupt return to Xi River city!

That mole on his face made it hard not to recognize him.

The atmosphere remained tense for a moment, then suddenly, not knowing who shouted, "Run!" Following this, the kids bolted towards the exit of the alley!

Tang Ye looked up. Run? No matter how fast, they couldn’t outrun him. The moment the kids started moving, Tang Ye grabbed one by the collar and lifted him up. The kid cried out in terror, and the one lying in the trash pile, seeing the ones who hit him trying to escape, started yelling as if to attract others’ attention.

The sound traveled from within the alley to the outside, making it impossible not to hear.

If he hadn’t shouted, perhaps only Tang Ye would have known what was happening here. But just like that, the noise reached outside, and for a moment, it felt like time stopped. Shortly after, the outside world erupted into chaos!

Whoosh!
