Doomsday police, please show your god/demon ID card.

Taking advantage of the thick fog.

Tang Long quickly approached the village entrance.

He pressed his body against the bridge railing, peeking out his head stealthily.

At the village entrance, a makeshift roadblock had been set up using abandoned vehicles and sandbags.

There were five people standing around the roadblock; they must be members of the Wild Wolf Gang.

The leader, Brother Leopard, was carrying a pistol, while the other four men were carrying machetes or steel pipes.

The flashlight beam kept shining inside, as if searching for a gap to shoot through.

"one!"

Leopard Brother raised his pistol and began counting.

"two!"

His voice echoed in the silent night, carrying a hint of mockery and cruelty.

Behind the roadblock, Wang Hu gripped the fire axe tightly, his face grim, his eyes fixed on the swaying figures outside and the dark muzzle of a gun.

Beside him, a middle-aged man wearing glasses was supporting two trembling young nurses.

"Brother Tiger, what should we do?" a nurse asked, her voice trembling with tears.

Wang Hu didn't turn around, his voice hoarse: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Outside, Leopard Brother's voice rang out again.

"three!"

He grinned maliciously, pointed the gun at Wang Hu's head, and put his finger on the trigger.

Wang Hu's pupils suddenly dilated, and he instinctively tried to shrink back.

It was at this moment that...

boom!

A crisp gunshot pierced the thick fog.

Leopard Brother froze in mid-air. He looked down at the bloody hole that had exploded in his chest, and his expression changed from a ferocious grin to astonishment.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but only spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then, his whole body fell heavily backward, and the May Fourth Style sword in his hand flew out of his hand and fell into the grass next to him.

Killing a rioter earns you +1 Order Point.

The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned for a moment.

The remaining four members of the Wild Wolf Gang stared blankly at Brother Leopard lying on the ground, unable to react for a moment.

"Leopard...Brother Leopard?"

boom!

Another gunshot rang out.

The man closest to Brother Leopard had a bullet hole in his forehead, swayed, and then fell down.

Killing a rioter earns you +1 Order Point.

"There's a gun!"

"Over there!"

The remaining three finally reacted and raised their flashlights to shine in the direction from which the gunshots rang out.

But the thick fog was empty, with only grayish-white air currents surging about.

Tang Long had already changed positions.

He crouched behind an abandoned truck, aiming his gun at the other side.

"Damn it, where are they?"

"They ran away?"

The three members of the Wild Wolf Gang huddled together back to back, nervously scanning their surroundings.

"Quick! Let's get out of here!" one of them shouted immediately, turning to run.

Tang Long's gun barrel moved slightly.

boom!

A burst of blood erupted from the back of the fleeing man, who collapsed to the ground, twitched twice, and then fell still.

Killing a rioter earns you +1 Order Point.

The last two remaining people panicked completely when they saw this.

He threw down his weapons and flashlight, scrambling and crawling as he ran outside, screaming all the while.

Tang Long raised his hand and fired two more shots, but unfortunately, they both missed.

The dense fog provided excellent cover, allowing him to easily infiltrate behind the group, but it also significantly increased the difficulty of shooting.

He frowned slightly, stood up from behind the truck, watched the two figures disappear into the thick fog, and put away his gun.

Behind the roadblock at the village entrance, Wang Hu and the others were completely dumbfounded.

They only heard a few gunshots, and then three members of the Wild Wolf Gang died and two escaped.

Everything happened so fast that it left no time to react.

suddenly.

"Brother Wang Hu?" Su Yan's voice came from the side of the bridge.

Wang Hu snapped back to reality and recognized Su Yan's voice. A look of wild joy appeared on his face.

"Dr. Su? Is that you? You're back?"

"It's me! Come out quickly."

Soon, a gap was created by moving the roadblock.

A burly man emerged from inside. He wore a worn-out jacket, had a square face, a buzz cut, and his eyes scanned the surroundings warily.

When he saw Tang Long, his body tensed slightly, and a hint of wariness appeared in his eyes.

He only relaxed when he saw Su Yan next to him.

"Dr. Su, I'm so glad you're alright!"

"Brother Wang Hu." Su Yan quickly walked over.

Wang Hu's gaze fell on Tang Long, then he looked at the three corpses on the ground, and his brows furrowed.

"Who is this?"

"My name is Tang Long, I'm a police officer," Tang Long said calmly.

Wang Hu was stunned for a moment, his gaze sweeping over Tang Long.

The other person was tall and upright, with a steady posture and sharp eyes; he certainly didn't look like an ordinary person.

"He saved me," Su Yan added from the side. "He was the one who fired the shot just now."

The wariness on Wang Hu's face lessened somewhat, and he extended his hand to Tang Long: "Wang Hu, from the Criminal Investigation Division!"

"Thanks, bro."

Tang Long grasped his hand; it felt rough yet strong.

"You're welcome."

At that moment, several more heads peeked out from behind the roadblock.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses, and two young female nurses.

They looked at Tang Long with curiosity and gratitude in their eyes, but even more so with fear.

"Come out, everyone, it's alright now," Wang Hu called out as he turned around.

The group cautiously emerged from behind the roadblocks.

"This is Dr. Zhang, and these are Xiao Lin and Xiao Zhao, nurses from our hospital," Su Yan introduced to Tang Long.

Tang Long nodded, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

He didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"It's not safe here. Two members of the Wild Wolf Gang have escaped, and they'll be bringing more back soon."

These words immediately made the atmosphere tense again, which had just eased.

The nurse named Kobayashi turned pale: "Then...what do we do?"

All eyes turned to Wang Hu.

Wang Hu frowned deeply. He glanced at the corpse on the ground, then at Tang Long.

"Officer Tang, what are your plans?"

Tang Long's gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on Wang Hu's face.

"Come with me."

He said.

"I have a safe place."

Wang Hu fell silent, and the doctors and others behind him exchanged hesitant glances.

Go with a complete stranger you've just met?

In the apocalypse, sometimes the human heart is more terrifying than zombies.

"Where to?" Wang Hu asked directly.

"Police station," Tang Long replied.

"A police station?" Wang Hu's face showed a hint of doubt. "Where are there any police stations that are still functioning properly these days?"

"Mine is fine." Tang Long's tone left no room for argument.

Seeing the hesitation and distrust on everyone's faces, he continued.

"You can stay here and wait for the Wild Wolf Gang to return."

"Or, come with me to a place with electricity, water, and sturdy walls."

"I guarantee your safety, but you must also follow my rules."

Everyone was stunned.

Water is easy to understand; the place they live in has a stream right in front of it, so there's no shortage of water.

but...

Electricity.

Two months after the supposed apocalypse, it had already become a legend.

Wang Hu hurriedly asked, "What rules?"

Tang Long raised one finger.

"First, I'm in charge."

He looked around at everyone, his voice not loud, but with a hint of coldness.

"Once you're in my territory, you'll be under my command. You just need to execute my decisions."

"otherwise..."

He abruptly changed the subject, loaded a bullet, and pointed his gun at the sky.

boom!

Gunshots rang out.

"Watch out, bullets don't have eyes!"
