Chapter 417: Chapter 129 This is What a Child Looks Like When Not Hungry_5

Wang Wei jerked his head up, a ferocious gleam in his eyes, thinking to himself, right, why am I overthinking this? Nobody wants to die, and he wanted to live more than anyone. He then looked at everyone and bellowed, "Shut up! Who’s betraying whom? Big Brother Ma’s got my back, and that’s way better than any of you lot."

"Boss, there are only seven women here now, the rest must be out scavenging for supplies."

He was very familiar with the place and laid out the situation clearly without hiding anything.

Ma Yilong waved his hand, showing a smile, "Move it, take all the supplies and take the women too. That’s our main goal, anything else is just gravy."

With those words,

a group of burly men tied up the female survivors with smiles on their faces.

The scene was in chaos.

Children were crying.

Everyone could tell what would happen when they took the women away; nothing good would come of it, it was certain they had those dirty intentions.

"Fuck."

A male survivor roared as he charged at Ma Yilong with an iron pipe, swinging it violently trying to drive these brutes away.

Ma Yilong watched the attacker with a mocking gaze, his fist collided with the iron pipe, bending it, then he grabbed the man’s hair and jerked forward, slamming his knee into the man’s belly. The man vomited bile with a retch, clutching his stomach and kneeling on the ground in agony, his eyes bulging.

The others who charged at him ended up in the same way; Ma Yilong effortlessly knocked them to the ground.

"Fools overestimating themselves."

Having said that, he kicked the man at his feet several meters away, effortlessly and carelessly, as to him, these folks weren’t even worth hitting.

"You’re awesome, boss," Wang Wei flattered.

Ma Yilong smiled, "Not bad, you’ve done well, blending into our group and leading us here, much smarter than that fool who, until death, wouldn’t speak. You’re at least ten times smarter than him. What was he thinking? Must have been really dumb not to talk."

"Yes, yes, thank you for the praise, boss." Wang Wei’s smile was sycophantic to the extreme.

At this moment,

an old man in the corner pointed at Wang Wei angrily, cursing, "Wang Wei, your conscience has been eaten by a dog. They saved you and treated you as one of their own. Not only are you not grateful, but you’ve also done such inhumane things. They should never have saved you; you should have been left to die outside."

Ma Yilong looked surprised, "Wang Wei, who is this old fart?"

Wang Wei replied, "Boss, this old man is the doctor here, he used to be an expert at the city hospital."

"Oh."

Ma Yilong’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t expected to find a doctor. In the post-apocalyptic world, doctors were a rare profession and an essential part of any survival team. His team hadn’t had a doctor yet, so this was worth recruiting.

"Old man, I can see you’re talented. There’s no future for you here. How about you come back to the shelter with me? I guarantee you’ll live comfortably."

"Pah! Dream on, you bastard," the old man spat.

"Ha, the old man has quite the temper, strong in his old age, reminds me of those stubborn old guys in war dramas. Good, good, I, Ma Yilong, admire someone principled. But principles come at a cost."

He took a machete from one of his men and handed it to Wang Wei, "See those kids? There are four of them, kill them all."

"Huh?" Wang Wei was stunned.

"What are you waiting for? Kill them! You’re not who you used to be. If you can’t be ruthless, how will you roll with us? Don’t overthink, be fierce, chop them," Ma Yilong urged as he pushed Wang Wei’s back.

Wang Wei stumbled, steadied himself, looked at the machete in his hand, then at the huddled children, and then met Ma Yilong’s eyes. Ma Yilong had a smile on his face and nodded at him, signaling to hurry up and not hesitate.

Ma Yilong waited with his arms crossed.

"Big brother, all the goods have been moved," one of the underlings reported.

"No rush, let’s watch our new member do the job."

"Sure thing."

They were truly bad, truly evil, revealing their true nature without restraint in the post-apocalyptic world, a pure evil without any mix of goodness.

The doctor glared at Wang Wei in fury, "Wang Wei, are you still human, do you have any humanity left at all? These kids used to really like you. Can you actually go through with it?"

Wang Wei looked at the old man, the crying children, and then at Ma Yilong, seeing the boss smiling and nodding at him, urging him to be quick and not to hesitate.

At this point, Wang Wei steeled his heart. He didn’t think too much about it; he just wanted to survive, to keep living with their group, nothing else mattered to him.

He approached angrily, raised his machete high, just as he was about to hack down,

"Stop!"

The doctor shouted, "Fine, I agree with you, I’ll be your doctor, but you have to let these people go. You must know how bad it is to be without a doctor in the post-apocalyptic world; if you get sick, you wouldn’t even know what medicine to take."

"You should’ve said so earlier, then none of this would’ve happened," Ma Yilong laughed boisterously and then stepped aside to make a path, "Please, old expert."

The old man looked at everyone, sighed, and followed them as they left. He knew this group, ruthless and willing to carry out their threats.

He had been saved and cared for by these children, he was truly grateful. All he had ever done was treat the sick and play games with the children, never much use, but they had always respected him. Now, faced with this situation, all he could do was use his skills to give them a chance to live.
