On the Ark.

Even if we can't save everyone here, we must take Ilan away.

He racked his brains for a solution, but before he could come up with one, the blond-haired man turned around, grabbed Lin Ye by the collar, and lifted him up.

"This will be our war." The blond-haired man looked at Lin Ye with a sinister smile. "You are the beginning of this war."

Oh no... This deranged guy really wants to kill me!

No, we have to do something, we absolutely have to do something!

Gun, can I use a gun?

Lin Ye tried to reach for his gun, but his hand had been numb from being stepped on by the person who had ambushed him earlier, and he couldn't move it at all. Using his other hand to reach for the gun would be too obvious a movement and would definitely be noticed by these people.

Guns are not allowed.

Then I'll just have to try my own abilities.

Lin Ye took a deep breath, then forced himself to concentrate and stared into the blond-haired man's eyes: "Let go, it's not too late."

When he said those words, it was quite obvious that the arrogance and irritability in the blond-haired man's eyes had dissipated somewhat.

"What are you talking about?" the blond-haired man said. "Are you joking with me?"

"I said let go, it's not too late," Lin Ye said softly. "The conflict between the infected and the non-infected cannot be resolved by violence. Killing me won't solve anything, it will only exacerbate the conflict."

"What nonsense are you talking about! We just want to..."

"Do you think you can get what you want just by killing me and breaking out?" Lin Ye said. "You should know very well that it's impossible. You'll be taking everyone here to their deaths. Believe me, this is definitely not the best solution. We have other options."

The blond-haired man stared blankly at Lin Ye.

He couldn't understand why. He should have been angry, or even mocking the veterinarian in front of him who was completely clueless and spouting nonsense.

However, he couldn't get angry, nor could he laugh.

This annoying guy in front of him reminded him, for some reason, of his own nagging father. Yes, that's exactly how his father was; he believed that all the conflicts in the world could be resolved with words.

After Lin Ye spoke, the expressions of the other infected people also changed slightly.

Seeing that his abilities were having an effect, Lin Ye was about to press on when Huang Mao suddenly went berserk, pinning Lin Ye to the ground and then raising an iron rod high before smashing it down hard.

"What are you talking to me about?!" The blond-haired man laughed maniacally. "Do you think you're my dad?! You always act like you're doing it for my own good, but when I became infected, he was the first guy who wanted to send me to jail!"

Lin Ye never expected this to happen.

His ability has never failed him, even though his targets are mostly cats and dogs. He can even calm a dog with rabies, so why is this guy...?

Looking into the blond-haired man's reddened eyes, Lin Ye suddenly understood something.

His ability didn't fail; he did indeed restore the blond-haired man's sanity. No, to be precise, the blond-haired man hadn't lost his sanity at all before.

The blond-haired man didn't lose his mind after being affected by the virus; he was a madman who already lacked reason, and eventually became infected. Even if all his reason were returned to him, he would still be a madman. Just as tranquilizers can treat mania, they can't treat the mind itself.

Damn.

The iron rod struck the flesh as if it were about to break the bones as well.

Is he going to die here?

Lin Ye was somewhat dazed. He struggled to lift his head and looked at Yilan, who was trying to run towards him but was being held tightly by an infected person. The little girl was crying very sadly, shaking her head repeatedly, but she couldn't stop the crazed blond man.

I'm really a little unwilling to accept this.

Lin Ye thought to himself.

He was about to join Rhodes Island, and he was about to officially start the game.

But he died the night before dawn.

Not reconciled, really not reconciled.

He doesn't want to die.

then.

"Please let me go."

The blond-haired man stopped moving and looked at Lin Ye, who was curled up like a puppy: "What did you say?"

"Spare my life," Lin Ye pleaded in a trembling voice. "Please, I don't want to die..."

The blond-haired man paused for a moment, then laughed, a very arrogant laugh.

"See that! See that!" The blond-haired man turned to the side, letting more infected people see Lin Ye, his body trembling with excitement. "These are the cowardly guys! Full of grand theories, always saying they can solve everything. But in reality, they can't do anything! They're afraid of dying, they're really afraid of dying!"

Everyone looked at Lin Ye.

The doctor, or more accurately, the veterinarian, lying on the ground, bleeding profusely, truly resembled a pitiful, dying animal. He could only helplessly endure the barking of the blond-haired man trampling on him, pleading for his life.

The infected rioters were excited.

The later infected individuals fell silent.

Ilan cried her heart out.

Lin Ye could only bury his head, like an ostrich, to avoid everyone's gaze.

……

“This is the person you value.” Nearl turned to look at the silent Shining. “Clearly, he doesn’t possess the power you described.”

Shining, standing at the back of the crowd, stared at Lin Ye, who had fallen to the ground, without saying a word.

"Aren't you going to save him?" Lin Guang asked. "After all, he helped you."

Shining shook his head.

"I really don't understand you." Lin Guang turned around, preparing to leave. "The military and police from Chernobog are coming. If you're not planning to help him, let's go."

The Shining, however, did not move.

"What's wrong?" Lin Guang asked, frowning.

"It's not over yet," Shining said calmly.

……

Everything happened very suddenly.

Just as the blond-haired man, who had stirred up everyone's emotions, was about to humiliate Lin Ye again, he turned around and shoved the silver-white muzzle of a gun into Lin Ye's mouth.

He met a pair of eyes as black as ink, and for a moment, he thought he was seeing death.

In fact, he really is the Grim Reaper.

Lin Ye decisively pulled the trigger.

His head exploded like a shattered watermelon, and blood splattered all over the wall.

Everyone was stunned.

Lin Ye pushed the yellow-haired man's corpse aside and managed to stand up.

“Someone once told me that pure medical skills sometimes can’t save his fellow countrymen, and now I believe it.” Lin Ye pointed his gun at the infected man holding Yilan. “Let go of that girl, I’ll count to three!”

The infected person subconsciously wants to let go.

"one."

Lin Ye shouted the words and pulled the trigger at the same time.

boom!

At this distance, the infected man had nowhere to hide, and a large cloud of blood mist erupted from his chest. He stared blankly at Lin Ye, his eyes filled with anger and disbelief, before slowly collapsing to the ground, following the blond-haired man.

The infected rioters were stunned.

Yilan ran to Lin Ye's side, and Lin Ye hugged her tightly before looking at the remaining infected.

"Don't ask me where numbers two and three are," Lin Ye said. "A real man only needs to remember number one to survive in this world."

Chapter Eleven: A madman driven mad by a madman is more like a madman.

This was Lin Ye's first time killing someone, whether in his past life or this one, and he killed two people at once.

Unlike many articles that describe feeling nauseous, shaking, or experiencing a completely different world after killing someone, he didn't feel anything special at that moment. His blood was boiling over, and from that moment on, he was a person of irrationality, capable only of rage.

At that moment, he was thinking, "What right do these bastards have to beat me up? You have to understand, I've always been the apple of my family's eye. Aside from my parents, grandparents, older siblings, uncles and aunts, the fat kid next door, and my elementary school classmate with the ponytail, no one has ever dared to hit me like this! Beating me is one thing, but trying to kill me is another. What's going on? I've already died once; I don't want to experience death again."

So he humbled himself, acting like a weak dog, just to distract the blond-haired guy so he could pull out a gun and shoot the bastard who wanted him dead.

As for the second person he killed, to be honest, it was an accident. After killing the blond-haired guy, Lin Ye had calmed down a bit. He knew he only had three bullets left. After taking out the blond-haired guy, he only had two left, and he definitely needed to use those two carefully. Unfortunately, even though he had calmed down, his body was still trembling slightly from excitement. So, he originally only wanted to threaten the other infected person, and just get Yilan from them. But when he turned the gun, his hand trembled, and it went off.

And so the second infected person died inexplicably. The look in his eyes when he died was something Lin Ye would probably never forget for the rest of his life.

However, Lin Ye had no time to ponder what the second infected person was thinking before dying, because when he fired the second shot, the rioting infected were already stunned; after all, everything had happened too fast. They had no idea what Lin Ye was thinking, only believing what they saw.

That doctor, who was begging for mercy on the ground just a second ago, pulled out a gun and killed two infected people who had attacked him before.

Moreover, this was after one of the infected individuals had already given up resisting.

Is this really a doctor? Who is actually infected?!

Lin Ye also realized this.

Only someone crazier than a madman can control a madman. His mind raced, and he uttered that classic line.

"Don't ask me where numbers two and three are." Lin Ye held Yilan in one arm and pointed a gun at the infected group with the other, coldly saying, "A real man only needs to remember number one to survive in this world."

The infected in Chernobog wouldn't know where that quote came from; only Lin Ye did.

Matsudaira Katakuri, the top police chief and also the biggest gangster boss in *Gintama*, uses his thuggish charisma to subdue a group of thugs. Despite always appearing as a颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a sense of decadence, listlessness, and apathy) middle-aged man, he exudes an aura of "anyone who doesn't obey me will die" when he draws his gun. He claims to give people three seconds to think, but always fires the moment he shouts "one," then spouts nonsensical plausible arguments, such as, "Who even knows those numbers? A man only needs to remember one to survive!" In Lin Ye's eyes, he is the biggest thug and scoundrel in *Gintama*.

But now, Lin Ye needs to become such a rogue and scoundrel himself in order to lead Yi Lan out of this abyss.

"I'll count to three." Lin Ye raised his gun. "Get out of my way."

The infected people looked at each other in bewilderment.

“One,” Lin Ye said.

brush.

The crowded corridor suddenly cleared a path for people to pass through.

Ha, only the biggest scoundrel can control this bunch of lunatics.
