Chapter 805: Chapter 802 Extinction Plan 7

"This... this... why is this happening!"

Little Wu’s gaze was vacant, in front of him were five bodies, children and adults alike, brutally murdered. Particularly one child, whose body was dismembered, with blood flowing across the pristine floor. What was most jarring, all the bodies were of children, their small statures making the scene heartbreakingly painful, suggesting the cruelty of the murderer!

Little Wu had survived till now, but he was not purely good. At the Peace Party, he did not lack basic necessities and did not need to commit inhumane acts for survival.

Compared to others, he was an entirely normal person. His heart hadn’t twisted due to the apocalypse’s impact. It was normal for people to do extreme things when faced with life or death—after all, it was for their own lives!

But why, when Chen Chaoyang wasn’t in much danger? Xu Hui, although resisting the Peace Party, had a wife and children who were ordinary people. Moreover, what threat could a woman and several children pose to the current Peace Party?

Why did he strike them down? Why didn’t he spare them?

He should’ve known, that person who could move freely among the corpses was not normal at all! His heart had already twisted!

He was a complete devil! A demon just like a zombie, knowing only to kill without discerning good from evil!

About ten seconds later, he exited Xu Hui’s house and looked ahead.

"You said you were going to find the Chairman... I need your explanation!"

Saying so, Little Wu, followed by soldiers, pursued in the direction Chen Chaoyang had left. His pace was fast, soon catching up with Chaoyang who was moving leisurely.

However, upon seeing Chen’s hateful silhouette, Little Wu suddenly slowed his steps, and the soldiers following him did likewise, gradually, Little Wu moved to Chaoyang’s side, wordless, just silently matching his pace.

After a while, Hatred seemed to notice Little Wu’s presence and spoke up, "Do you need something?"

Little Wu’s body trembled slightly, then he coldly said, "I just visited Xu Hui’s house."

"Oh, what did you see?"

"Blood, and bodies..."

"So, you think I’m cruel, do you?"

Little Wu neither nodded nor shook his head, he couldn’t place why, but he felt that Hatred’s tone of voice seemed somewhat similar to the Chairman’s.

Little Wu’s silence seemed to give Hatred a hint, his eyes slightly curved under his mask, as if he was smiling.

"Do you think they’re just a few kids, with no threat to the Peace Party?"

"Mmm, they... simply don’t have the capability to threaten the Peace Party, why do you ask?"

"No reason, you see, explaining this matter is actually quite complicated, how about I tell you a story instead?"

"I’m all ears."

"Emm..." Hatred fell silent for a while, a shade of reminiscence flashed across his eyes; he was recalling something, thinking of a certain story.

"Many years ago, there was a boy who fell in love with a girl. The boy’s family was affluent, with ancestors who had been high officials for three generations, whereas the girl came from the countryside, her parents worked the land in an ordinary mountain village. That year, compulsory education was widespread, and the girl had the opportunity to attend school. Unlike other children of her age who were only obsessed with playing, her parents told her that only through schooling could one advance, and she too saw the poverty of her hometown and resolved to change it."

"With her efforts, her academic performance remained top-notch. Gradually, she became the only university student not just from her village but also from her county. The boy, whose life was uncommon yet modest, had seen the glittering allure of high society and had grown accustomed to it. During their college days, the boy met the girl, and it was at that moment that he saw beauty in its most natural and unspoiled form."

"Thus, the boy was moved, touched by a beauty he had never seen before, and he began to pursue the girl passionately. For her, the boy even rejected a family-arranged marriage, risking everything. Eventually, through his relentless effort, the boy won the girl’s approval, though what exactly transpired between them is beyond my knowledge."

"Two years after their college graduation, the couple finally married. But love is complex, and feelings only form part of it. To ensure it lasted, some economic stability was necessary. Thus, to make a living, the boy followed his family’s arrangement and entered politics."

"But once in politics, deep like the sea, gradually, the boy’s heart was dyed by power. Under his family’s influence, he rose rapidly within the ranks, and his ambition grew ever larger. Soon enough, everything around him seemed inadequate, and he desired more. Therefore, he grew busier with work, and the presence of the girl slowly began to fade from his mind."

"Four years into their marriage, there was still no sign of pregnancy from the girl, which alarmed both the boy and his family. They took the girl everywhere for checks, but the results showed that both were physically normal. Perhaps it was the constant nagging from his family that annoyed the boy, but still loving his wife, and to stop his family’s chatter—and since such things can’t be forced—the couple chose to adopt a healthy, flawless child from an orphanage."

"Ironically, not long after they adopted the child, the girl became pregnant. The status of the adopted child plummeted once the couple’s biological son appeared, leading to the adopted child’s loss of affection."

"Are you that adopted child?" Little Wu interrupted, suspecting this from Hatred’s story. If so, Hatred’s cruelty might be attributed to his miserable childhood experiences.

After all, an adopted child is nothing compared to a family’s biological children, leading to a tragic fate for the adopted one.

However, unexpectedly, in response to Little Wu’s query, Hatred shook his head and continued, "After the birth of their biological child, the boy and his family breathed a sigh of relief, and thereafter, the boy continued immersing himself in work, day after day, year after year. As time passed, their biological child also grew up, but always seemed like a person without a father, only having his mother beside him. Over time, seeing other happy families together on the streets made him envious."

"Sometimes, he would often ask his mother where his father was, but all he got in return was his mother’s silence. No one knew how much he wished he could be like other families, happily going out for trips, enjoying laughter along the way, but under the long-term guidance of his mother and other relatives, he gradually understood that his own family was not like ordinary families."

"Do you know that a poor man’s child must become head of the household early?"

Little Wu nodded. He didn’t know why he had to listen to Hatred’s boring story; it seemed like what he needed was an explanation.
