Chapter 1846 Something is wrong (I can't turn over after rolling over)

Although most parts of the world have become a zombie paradise, there are still some people, like these students, who have survived due to luck or other reasons and built their own shelters.

Duanmu Huai’s current choice is very simple—you stockpile food and I stockpile guns, and we all have a bright future.

Instead of going around rescuing survivors, why not just take down the shelter?

Aren’t there more survivors in the shelter than just two or three kittens?

As for whether the other party is willing or not? That is not a question that Duanmu Huai needs to worry about.

The Inquisition is not some warmhearted charity.

Duanmu Huai thought so, and after that, the Tribunal received several waves of survivors. From them, Duanmu Huai also learned that the city had not completely fallen, there were several shelters, and even a shelter established by the city government. So Duanmu Huai did not say anything and led the team to collect the money without stopping.

The result was beyond Duanmu Huai's expectations.

“This is the third one.”

Looking at the zombie corpses all over the ground, Duanmu Huai frowned, and Mary shook her head.

“How strange…”

Yes, just like Mary said, it was really strange. They went to the western part of the city today and locked onto three shelters there, but each one was found to have been completely destroyed. When they entered the shelter, they found that there was no one alive inside, only zombies.

Of course, it is normal to say that it is normal. After all, in this doomsday environment, zombies are omnipresent. Many shelters may have accidentally let zombies in for some reason, and then all of them were wiped out.

But this is not the case in these three shelters.

First of all, when Duanmu Huai found these three shelters, they were all closed and there were no signs of zombie invasion, but the people inside all turned into zombies. And after searching, he found that these three shelters had a lot of supplies stored, and they didn't seem to have been taken away, so it didn't seem like a conflict over fighting for daily necessities.

Especially the third shelter, which was set up by the municipal government and located in an underground air-raid shelter. The door was tightly closed and there was no sign of it having been opened. As a result, when Duanmu Huai kicked the door open and rushed in, he found that dozens of people inside had basically turned into zombies.

"It's just like a murder in a closed room..."

Hearing Mary's sigh, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Killing people in a closed room in the end times? That's crazy."

There are so many people on the street that you can’t kill them all, so why bother killing people in a closed room?

"So, among the survivors they took in, someone was carrying the virus, but no one discovered it, and then they got infected."

This is a very reasonable inference, but Duanmu Huai always feels that it is not that simple. If it is just one shelter, it is possible. But are all three shelters due to this reason? That is not a coincidence.

"What did you find?"

"They have a registration form. I'm looking at it now. If I had to say, there is one suspicious point."

"What's the suspicion?"

Duanmu Huai turned to look at Mary, who waved the notebook in her hand at him.

"According to the records on the registration form, this shelter took in a little girl a few days ago."

"little girl?"

"Yes, we checked it out and found no signs of bites, so we took it in. It's about...ten years old."

"A ten-year-old girl, coming to a shelter alone?"

Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes.

"Are all those zombies on the street idiots?"

"Also, after checking the body, the little girl listed on the registration form was not found inside."

"………………………"

Duanmu Huai touched his chin and frowned.

"So you're saying that the little girl had something to do with all this?"

"It's not impossible."

Mary's answer was calm, yet also a little worried.

"Just imagine, a thin, pitiful girl came to the shelter alone for help. Any adult with a conscience would let her in. Even if someone was worried about her, as long as they checked that she was not bitten, most people would be relieved. After all, most people would not regard a little girl under ten years old as a threat..."

"But this doesn't seem like the behavior of a corrupt person. Rather, it seems like the behavior of a treacherous and obsessed person... huh?"

At this point, Duanmu Huai also reacted.

“It may not be the case!”

"can you?"

"You know what? The Stain of Corruption and the Sin of Obsession have been at odds for a while."

Duanmu Huai stared at Mary and said to her.

"Because the Stain of Corruption invented a crotch-rotten disease, which made the Evil of Obsession very unhappy."

"Crotch rot...ah...I understand."

Mary didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it, she immediately understood what Duanmu Huai meant.

"But on the other hand, what if they join forces? The filth of corruption creates plagues, the cunning trickery can see through people's desires, and the evil of obsession can seduce human souls and desires... "

"So what Mr. Duanmu means is..."

Mary frowned.

"These three evil gods joined forces to create a demon that looks like a little girl. They searched for survivors everywhere. Once they found a survivor, they would try to get the other party to take them in, and then completely destroy and eliminate them from the inside?"

"Indeed, this may be part of a treacherous plan."

Duanmu Huai curled his lips, very unhappy. He actually didn't like to kill the Wrath of Tyranny first, because the opponent was strictly speaking half a friendly army. After all, it was well known that the loyalists were indirect. Many times, the internal conflicts among the four evil gods were the first shots fired by the Wrath of Tyranny and his subordinates.

However, now that half of the friendly forces are dead, the remaining three are very likely to temporarily put aside their prejudices and join forces to bring disaster to themselves!

And that little girl might not really be a little girl. After all, Duanmu Huai knew that the treacherous trick had a kind of demon under his command that could change into the form you wanted to see the most. They could even become the people in your memory. Well, if that was the case, then it would be understandable why those shelters fell so easily. Imagine that your most important person suddenly appeared outside the shelter, hungry, exhausted, and asking for help. Who wouldn't subconsciously help?

"But, summoning a demon requires a lot of sacrifices..."

"Enough people have died in this world due to the plague, more than enough to summon a great demon."

Duanmuhuai shook his head.

"We have to speed up the process. If these three guys really unite, it will be a bit tricky. But the only lucky thing is that they like to play, which gives us enough time."

Among the four evil gods, the most straightforward one is Tyrannical Fury, while Obsessive Evil and Treacherous Trickster prefer to play with their prey rather than kill them as soon as possible. As for Corrupted Filth, it has no intention of killing people at all. In its view, turning humans into that kind of corrupt and smelly form is just joining their stinky warm family.

After figuring this out, Duanmu Huai immediately realized that there would be no obstacles for these three bastards to join forces.

The cunning craftiness revels in the joy of using schemes to deceive human wisdom.

The obsessed evil enjoys playing with human emotions and desires.

The Stain of Corruption can also happily wait for these tortured and painful souls to become a member of its warm big family.

Without the rage of tyranny, this collaboration looks so harmonious... Damn it...!

Friendly forces, help!

If Duanmu Huai had to choose the order, he would rather deal with the Treacherous Guile first and the Tyrannical Wrath last. Unfortunately, his luck was not good and he killed the Tyrannical Wrath first, which caused the difficulty to increase exponentially.

Fortunately, Mary is by his side, and the power of destruction is enough to dispel all illusions. Of course, with Duanmu Huai's understanding of treachery, he is likely to use the chess pieces in his hand to lure other survivors to fight with him, while he hides behind and watches the show.

But these are the issues that Duanmu Huai needs to worry about, not anyone else.

Duanmu Huai withdrew his gaze and no longer looked at the zombies on the ground.

"Okay, let's call it a day."

Duanmu Huai learned that there were survivors joining them after they returned to the base. Although generally speaking, the Tribunal has gathered a lot of survivors over such a long time, Duanmu Huai would not personally ask everyone, but after searching the three shelters, Duanmu Huai changed his mind, so the next morning, the survivors were brought to Duanmu Huai.

It was obvious that the survivors were terrified when they saw Duanmu Huai. The girl with twin ponytails was so scared that she hid behind the boy next to her. The others were not much better. However, Duanmu Huai was used to it and didn't care much.

“I’ve seen what you’ve been through.”

Duanmu Huai put the report aside. All survivors had to undergo a round of isolated questioning after arriving at the courtroom, mainly asking about their identities, what they had experienced before, and where they had been. The descriptions of these people were also unremarkable, but one part of them caught Duanmu Huai's attention.

"You said you had been to another shelter?"

"Yes, Alice was sick at the time, and we wanted to ask them for some medicine to help with her treatment, but......"

The other girl was a little hesitant in the middle of her speech, but soon, the girl with twin ponytails took over.

"They actually asked us to take off all our clothes and stand outside for them to check. That was too much! Then we left!"

"So for you, shame is more important than the lives of your companions. Yeah, I've made a note of that."

"…………………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the girl with twin ponytails gritted her teeth in anger, but Duanmu Huai didn't care at all. The expressions of the others were also a little embarrassed. Although they were indeed very angry at the time, Duanmu Huai's words were not wrong... This made these inexperienced students feel a little embarrassed.

"Did you find anything when you went to the shelter?"

"Discover?"

The girl with twin ponytails frowned.

"They just spoke to us through the door and didn't let us get close. What's more, their leader was holding...what was it called?"

"Air rifle."

At this time, the fat man next to him who looked like a fat otaku hurriedly replied.

"It's a modified version with a range of about 100 meters..."

"Okay, okay, I get it. Anyway, the leader still has a gun in his hand. It's very dangerous. And I don't think they are good people, so we left."

"Are there any women among them?"

"There is one."

When the twin-tailed girl said this, there was obvious uncontrollable disgust on her face.

"There was a woman dressed very revealingly, lying in the arms of the leader. She looked very... indecent."

"What does it look like exactly?"

"Then I don't know..."

"Hey, hey, I know."

At this time, the fat guy next to him spoke with a smile.

"I saw that woman. It was Hatsumi-chan."

"……………who?"

"A very famous actress. I've seen her before... Hehe..."

The fat otaku glanced at the girl with twin ponytails who was glaring at him fiercely, and didn't say the next words.

"…………………"

Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes. The reason why he asked this group of survivors was because that shelter was one of the three shelters that Duanmu Huai had visited before and was completely destroyed. However, Duanmu Huai was very sure that there were only men in that shelter at that time and he did not see any women's bodies at all.

Well, things really seem to be heading in the worst direction.

Duanmu Huai stood up and stared at the survivors.

"From today on, you will be assigned to a combat unit and trained. Work hard."
