Chapter 16: Skinning for Drums
When the Britannian missiles and meteorites fell from the sky, Liu Laotou was working in the prison...
While Liu Laotu was working, a missile exploded at the prison gate, blowing up the prison wall on the spot and killing the guard on duty. Then several meteorites fell and directly collapsed a building.
At first, Liu Laotu and others thought that a prison break had occurred and wanted to escape in the chaos, but when they thought of the powerful firepower equipped by the guards, they lost confidence.
But what happened next was even more unexpected to them. The guards who were supposed to be dead actually crawled up from the ground and attacked their companions!
Even though the prison was filled with serious criminals who had seen everything, when they saw strips of muscle being violently torn off a person's body, they still felt a chill running down their bones.
It’s so cruel!
At first, these criminals fell into extreme fear, because everything that was happening outside the iron fence in front of them had exceeded the limit of human endurance. And they had become a group of lambs locked in a cage, waiting for the hungry wolf to come and devour them at any time!
Everyone's heart was filled with despair, and some even committed suicide, because they understood that most of the prison guards had been infected and the rest had escaped, and it was impossible for the prison gate to be opened from the outside.
What they didn't expect was that the prison cell that they hated so much has now become the best refuge!
Although the zombies were also eager for their flesh and blood, they could not break through the solid iron gates and iron fences. Instead, they were led away by the living people outside. For the zombies, the lambs in the prison were delicious, but the real thing was to be able to eat them.
In this way, these criminals spent the first day in prison. No one paid any attention to them, as if they had been forgotten by the whole world. Then they found that the outside world gradually became quieter, the explosions and screams that used to come one after another became less and less, and the zombies that used to roam outside the iron fence were gone.
Later, when a prisoner could no longer bear the hunger, he secretly used his lock-picking skills to open the iron gate and go out. He was horrified to find that the entire city had become a city of death!
This discovery made the prisoners feel terrified and ecstatic at the same time. They immediately concluded from the direction where the sound they had heard disappeared that the humans in Steel City had collectively left the city, and those zombies, after all, had no thoughts...
A prisoner came up with a brilliant idea. Since zombies would not attack their own kind and mainly rely on smell to find humans, if they covered themselves in the dirty blood of zombies, would they be able to get away with it? This person attracted a zombie, shot it in the head with a gun he picked up, smeared its brains and blood all over his body, walked out carefully, and then returned to the prison alive, announcing his discovery in front of the group of prisoners who were terrified.
After discovering this amazing transformation, the criminals immediately completed the identity change in an instant.
They are no longer criminals, but the masters of this chaotic world. They will thrive in this troubled world and finally take control of everything!
"Who said this?" Li Feng asked coldly after hearing what Liu Laotou said. This kind of words obviously did not seem like something that the cowardly man in front of him could think of.
"Yes...it was Scar Brother who said that." Liu Lao Tu shyly scratched his bald head and said awkwardly.
This scarred man was actually the prison bully. He was ruthless and could be described as a psychopath. He was involved in more than a dozen cases of dismemberment before he went to prison, but because he was cautious, he never got any evidence. In the end, he was sentenced to prison for intentional injury. And because he was said to be the son of a high-ranking official, he had a strong backing, had served in the army before, and was strong, he was like a fish in water in prison.
When he found that the city had become a ruin and the government no longer existed, Scar immediately realized that his time had come! Now even if he wanted to be the emperor, no one would object! He was the first person to discover the method of smearing dirty blood on the body!
So, they summed up some strategies for hunting the remaining zombies, opened the prison's armory, and finally occupied a large supermarket in the city where there were fewer zombies. They called themselves the "Black Dragon Society" and began their life in the apocalypse.
"Is that all?" Li Feng asked Liu Laotu coldly. How could these criminals be so obedient? They did all kinds of bad things in peacetime, so how could they become law-abiding citizens in the end times? "Tell me what kind of entertainment you usually have. I don't believe that dozens of old men do nothing but eat dry food every day."
"Brother Scar said... that in the end times, population is property, so he often asks us to find some hiding people..."
"And after that?"
"If the men are willing to follow us, they can stay. If they are not willing, we will kill them and eat their meat... As for the women... we will keep all the women for fun... and eat their meat when they get tired of playing... Brother Scar said that food will become less and less in the future, so we must save as much as possible..."
Li Feng was not surprised to hear what Liu Laotou said. It would be really strange if this group of criminals played mahjong and Landlord all day long in the end times.
However, although he knew the other party's bad behavior, Li Feng was not ready to save those people immediately, because he knew that he was in a difficult situation. He just wanted to find the humans who had left, to find an organized group of humans, at least there, morality still existed to a certain extent. Moreover, who knows when the zombies will come back. In this apocalypse, the power of an individual is extremely small, and only by relying on the group can one survive.
"Which direction did the retreating people go?"
"East... East... It is said that they went to Zeyang City in the east. It seems that a military fortress was built there..." Liu Laotou said stutteringly, "Originally, I wanted to go there too, but as soon as others mentioned this to Scar Brother, he would get angry, so we didn't go..."
Hearing this, Li Feng nodded. What this kid said was basically consistent with the information he had received. Zeyang City can be said to be a military industrial city in the central region of the Red Star Republic. There are a large number of military factories, and it is not surprising that it has been transformed into a military fortress.
"You also ate human flesh, right?" After finding out these things, Li Feng's voice gradually became low.
“Eat…eat…”
"Is it tasty?"
"Delicious, wow, it smells so good!" Old Baldy Liu smacked his lips and drooled. "Young man, if you join us, our Scar Brother will definitely value you very much! Not to mention human flesh, you are..." Old Baldy Liu thought Li Feng wanted to let him go, and he immediately started talking nonstop. However, he had just said a few words when he realized something was wrong. Li Feng raised the steel pipe.
"No, don't kill me! You can ask me to be your slave, but please..." Old Baldy Liu was terrified and his crotch was instantly wet.
Li Feng smiled. Since he had decided to leave, he couldn't leave Liu Laotou alive. Otherwise, he would be targeted by dozens of criminals, which would not be a good thing.
Suddenly, an inexplicable palpitation caused his muscles to tremble violently. The tremor instantly reached his brain nerves and attracted his attention.
dangerous!
Li Feng suddenly lowered his head, and heard a gunshot. A bullet almost flew past his scalp and made a hole in the wall as thick as a finger.
He immediately rolled on the ground and entered the next room. The moment he entered the next room, he saw out of the corner of his eye that on the balcony opposite the building where he was, there were two people holding submachine guns and shooting at this side!
"Kill him quickly! Kill this guy!" Old Bald Liu shouted wildly with ecstasy on his face.
At this moment, a string of stray bullets swept past, instantly turning his head into a ball of rotten meat!
"Bang!" With a loud noise, the door of the room was kicked open, and several black gun barrels were first pointed in, and then a man with a bloody turban rushed into the room where Lifeng was hiding.
A middle-aged man wearing a blood-red windbreaker and sunglasses walked in. He was obviously the leader of these people. Wherever he went, his subordinates avoided him and looked respectful. There was a twisted scar on his face, running from his left eye to his chin, which looked hideous and terrifying.
He walked up to the bodies of Liu Laotou and Sun Laoer, turned them over with his feet, looked at them carefully, then spat on their faces, then took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth.
"Brother Scar, that guy ran away." The Blood Turban who had gone to chase him returned from the inner room, came to Scarface, bowed and said. The Blood Turban was obviously a ruthless man, but he was trembling slightly when he said these words, as if he was afraid that Scarface would get angry.
"He can smash Sun Lao Er's head. He's quite capable. Just run away. I'll shoot him to death next time I see him." Scarface smiled coldly and said, "If he dares to mess with the Black Dragon Society, I'll skin him alive!"
Obviously, this scarface is the leader of the Black Dragon Society, Scar!
"Isn't it time to replace the drum skins of the two drums at our door?" Scar asked without turning his head, looking in the direction where Li Feng left.
"Yes, Scar."
"Skin these two losers." He said as he kicked the bodies of Sun Lao Er and Liu Lao Tu on the ground.
