Chapter 692: Chapter 176 Humble, Bowing, I’m Sorry_5

Li Long said, "Don’t get excited, listen to me, this is indeed our base, but we are not here to save the living, but to traffic them to others. I think highly of you, that’s why I kept you here. The thing on your neck is very dangerous, a small bomb device. Whenever I want, it can explode instantly, with a bang, and blow your neck off."

"You..." Wu Dongliang couldn’t believe it was like this, actually saying he would sell other survivors. It was something he couldn’t accept. "I’ll fight you."

Having said that, he lunged at Li Long, his rage clouding his judgment. But the moment he got close to Li Long, he was kicked to the ground, clutching his belly, retching.

"Don’t make this hard for yourself. I kept you because I see your potential. Thinking about the old way of life in today’s world is foolish. Join us. We have food, drink, and you won’t lack anything."

Li Long walked up to Wu Dongliang, grabbed his hair, lifted his head, and gazed at him, telling him the benefits of joining.

"Damn it."

A look of pain crossed Wu Dongliang’s face. He was a trained fighter and used to be a boxing coach; he hadn’t anticipated the other’s strength to be so formidable, a single kick almost deprived him of his ability to move.

"Don’t think about being a hero. You have been wandering alone out there; what have you been eating, what kind of days have you been living? You know it best yourself. People must adapt to the times and live for themselves."

Li Long quietly spoke about the horrible state of the apocalypse, reminding him of the hardships he had endured recently.

"Maybe you want to be a good person and not harm others, but what’s the use? The order has already collapsed. Even if you are good to him, he might turn around and stab you over a little food."

"People must live for themselves."

Li Long enunciated each word of his last sentence emphatically.

Kneeling, Wu Dongliang seemed to be stupefied by Li Long’s words, as if they were entwining endlessly in his mind.

"I understand now."

"Good, understanding is good. Work well with us, and the future is bright."

Li Long had anticipated the outcome, as initially Wu Dongliang was an ordinary person. When the circumstances changed and he had no choice but to join, his mindset would naturally shift towards the stronger side.

"Come, I’ll show you around our base."

Li Long led him out of the dining area.

"This is the breeding area."

Wu Dongliang saw that some cells contained people, all of whom were generally older.

These people seemed like zombies, their eyes devoid of any spark, completely numb.

He saw someone gnawing on a black block-like substance.

"What is that?"

"Food."

"Food?"

"Yes, high protein, made from cockroaches. We have a special place for breeding cockroaches here, and these people can only eat this."

"Why are they being held then?"

Upon hearing Wu Dongliang ask about this, Li Long smiled mysteriously.

"Guess."

For some reason, seeing Li Long’s mysterious smile sent chills down his spine, his heart involuntarily racing.

Following Li Long’s lead, he saw many unimaginable scenes, feeling increasingly as if he were in the depths of a terrifying abyss.

These people had gone completely mad.

In an apocalypse, wearing human skins but acting like devils.

A helicopter landed outside.

A few men in black checked the cargo. "Not bad, good quality, eight survivors, all the goods you wanted are here."

Li Long smiled, "Thanks."

Then, one of the men in black approached Li Long, pulling out a mysterious vial. "Here’s a gift for you, something we recently developed. I think you might need it someday."

Li Long took the vial, examined it closely, the blue liquid inside looking like the genetic drugs often seen in movies.

"What is this stuff, looks kind of scary."

"Giant One serum. If you ever face danger, just drink it, and you’ll gain tremendous power."

"Haha, I dare not drink whatever you guys concoct, but... thanks."

Li Long was curious what these guys were really concocting.

Unfortunately...

These people were mysterious. When they first found him, he knew they weren’t simple, possessing abundant supplies and various good items, even weapons.

Exchanging young survivors for the needed supplies.

Engaging people in deals.

Could it be simple?

"By the way, about those survivors I encountered today, they were headed to Sunshine Shelter in Huangshi. If there really is a shelter, shouldn’t we think about taking action there?" Li Long said with a laugh.

He didn’t have the "Zombie Album," so he was unaware of the situation at Sunshine Shelter.

The man in black advised, "I suggest you drop that idea; it’s dangerous."

Li Long was shocked, "There really is a shelter there?"

He was just asking casually.

Who would have thought they would directly confirm its existence.

"Yes, a terrifying shelter, not something you can mess with."

Li Long: "With your capabilities, you can’t take down a shelter?"

The man in black: "Did you really not find that booklet on the road?"
