"But I guess killing people wouldn't give you any pleasure."

A strange look flashed in Qu Yunliu's eyes, and he raised the corner of his mouth, then clapped his hands and praised very seriously.

"Great, great, it seems you are really good at this."

As he spoke, Qu Yunliu's eyes flashed, and a fierce light climbed up from the bottom of his eyes, occupying his entire pupil, and his voice became cold.

"The only downside is that I might be more extreme than you think."

Hearing this, Ajie's eyes twitched. For some reason, under Qu Yunliu's gaze, he felt like he was being stared at by a brutal beast, and the beast would not look away until he died.

"As you said, my life has not been smooth."

"But now, my original purpose has long since deteriorated. Even if I trace the source, I can't change anything."

"What I'm going to do won't change because of what happened in the past."

Qu Yunliu leaned forward, put his ear close to Ajie's, narrowed his eyes, and spoke softly.

"You can't, and neither can that friend of yours."

Ajie's eye twitched. With his rich experience in life-and-death fights, he knew that the guy in front of him had indeed wanted to kill him just now.

Although he knew that Qu Yunliu might really kill him, Ajie still spoke rather rudely after a brief silence.

"Are all you crazy people so moody?"

However, Qu Yunliu smiled when he heard this, took a few steps back, pulled over a chair and sat down, and spoke calmly.

"Mood swings are a trait shared by most people. It would be unfair to attribute this to people like me."

"But, I am very curious about that guy named Su Li."

"I'm not going to kill you, but I want to have a good talk with that guy to see if he's crazy or I'm crazier."

Ajie's face turned dark, he looked at Qu Yunliu with some dissatisfaction, slowly exhaled a breath, and complained.

"Since you are not going to kill me, can you untie the ropes on me?"

Qu Yunliu glanced at Ajie and said casually.

"Don't pretend. Didn't you already untie the rope secretly yourself?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Ajie's eyes. He no longer pretended. His hands behind his back moved slightly, and the ropes on his body fell down, no longer binding his body.

He rubbed his wrist and looked at Qu Yunliu with an unfriendly look.

"You know it won't take me more than three seconds to kill you, right? There are no lackeys of yours here."

Qu Yunliu sneered, took out a pistol from his pocket and said lightly.

"Which do you think is faster, your fist or my gun?"

Ajie glanced at the pistol in Qu Yunliu's hand, sighed helplessly, and answered softly.

"The gun is faster than seven steps away."

"Oh, what about within seven steps?"

"Within seven steps, the gun is accurate and fast."

Qu Yunliu's mouth twitched, and he looked at Ajie who was very serious and sighed.

"You know, playing bad jokes and being humorous are not the same thing."

Ajie responded directly with confidence.

"People who can't pick up on bad jokes are definitely not humorous."

Qu Yunliu had no intention of arguing, nor did he want to continue on this meaningless topic. He crossed his legs, rubbed his brow with his hands, and sighed.

"I actually want to kill you right now, but the ancient city stronghold is too strong. Without the arms supply from your friend, I can't hold out for long."

"But no matter what you are planning, I have to tell you that time may be running out."

Ajie frowned and asked in confusion.

"That's weird, what happened?"

Qu Yunliu frowned even more tightly, rubbing his brows with his hands, and spoke slowly.

"In fact, the madman in the ancient city has been sending people to contact me. I don't know why he really wants me to stand on his side."

"No matter how many times I kill the people he sends, he'll always send again."

"But six months ago, he stopped sending people here. It was as if he had completely given up on contacting me."

"Also, starting half a year ago, the zombies near the ancient city base stopped actively attacking humans."

"It's not that I think too highly of myself, but something like this should prove something happened to that guy."

Qu Yunliu turned his head and spoke to Ajie in a deep voice.

"If you wait any longer, neither I nor your friend will be a match for that guy."

"So, I need you to contact your friend as soon as possible. I want to meet him."

Hearing this, Ajie's face froze, his expression became awkward, and he remained silent.

Qu Yunliu's eyes twitched, he stood up suddenly and said in disbelief.

"Wait, don't tell me."

"You have no way to contact him, so you can only wait for him to come to you?"

Ajie looked even more embarrassed and forced an explanation.

"It's not my fault. I spent a long time training a pigeon and gave it to that guy."

"And then, he didn't accept it?"

"No, he said it smells good."

"And then, he didn't accept it?"

"No, he said it smells good."

"…Is he mentally ill?"

"You can say it more harshly, I don't mind."

"..."

Inside the wooden house, Qu Yunliu had an extremely ugly expression on his face. He rubbed his head with his hand, sighed deeply, leaned back, and leaned back in his chair.

"I thought he was a lunatic, but it turns out he's just a moron."

After saying that, Qu Yunliu stepped out, walked straight past Ajie, and walked out of the wooden house.

Seeing this, Ajie hesitated for a moment, took a look at the gloomy and depressing wooden house, and then followed and walked behind Qu Yunliu.

Outside the wooden house, the entire shield stronghold was busy. Some people were holding simple brooms, sweeping the snow in the stronghold, and some people gathered together, burning wood to make simple charcoal.

At first glance, the entire base was extremely crowded, but everyone seemed to have something to do and everything was in order.

Qu Yunliu walked on the swept road, looking at the well-organized stronghold, his brows slightly furrowed.

"We may not have enough food for the winter this year. If your stupid friend fails to deliver a large amount of arms in the near future, this base may be in chaos."

Hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Ajie's eyes. He quickly stepped forward, walked side by side with Qu Yunliu, and asked in a low voice.

"Why do you say that? Bullets can't be eaten. Sending guns and ammunition won't solve the problem of food for the winter."

Qu Yunliu looked at Ajie with some surprise and said in astonishment.

"Do you really not understand? Or do you want me to say it directly?"

Ajie's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and stepped forward.

Seeing this, Qu Yunliu smiled knowingly and didn't care about anything. He walked while talking softly to Ajie.

"To be honest, due to the oppression of the Ancient City stronghold, several nearby strongholds were forced to become our shield stronghold."

"I spent a lot of effort to train those original stronghold leaders into obedience."

"But at the same time, the population explosion has become a big problem."

"I know you won't like it, but I have to tell you."

"The battle with the ancient city stronghold really helped us solve this problem. The right time and irrefutable reason sent the extra people into the meat grinder of the battlefield."

"Only in this way can we solve the problem of population explosion."

Ajie's face changed slightly, but he didn't react much in the end. It was obvious that he was not completely ignorant of this.

Qu Yunliu glanced at Ajie, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and smiled indifferently.

"You may not like this very much, but you should also know how urgent the population problem of this stronghold is."

As he spoke, Qu Yunliu pointed his finger downwards at the group of people clearing the snow, and spoke slowly.

"There were so many people that I had to ask them to do snow shoveling, which was meaningless, in order to find something for them to do."

"This is not a city, nor is it a stable world. The snow won't affect anything."

“But a group of people who have no responsibilities and are idle can cause conflicts.”

"So, I can only divide the things that can be done in the base into smaller and smaller ones, so that everyone has something to do."

Ajie's eyes flickered slightly, and he seemed not to completely agree with this matter, and he refuted in a low voice.

"Maybe you're just wasting your time."

Qu Yunliu smiled without comment, shifted his gaze to the distant sky, and said lightly.

"Put yourself in their shoes. Living in this kind of world, you are in a base with limited supplies, but you have no responsibilities and can only wander around every day."

"So...what do you think?"

Hearing this, a hint of bitterness flashed in Ajie's eyes, but then he stopped refutation and could only shake his head slightly and admit it.

"Okay, I was too talkative."

There is no doubt that if you are really in such an environment, no one can be at ease as an idle person. They will only be worried and feel that they may be expelled from the stronghold at any time.

In this environment where everyone is in danger, it is impossible for this stronghold to maintain peace as it is now.

But as his thoughts turned slightly, Ajie couldn't help but speak to Qu Yunliu again.

"It's strange to say, but in my opinion, you are definitely not a kind ruler."

"The lives of these superfluous people are no more valuable to you than a bowl of corn porridge."

Qu Yunliu did not show any displeasure at the mocking tone of Ajie's voice. Instead, he accepted it calmly and said with a smile.

"You are quite good at judging people."

"Yes, according to my original idea, the surplus population should bear all the labor and squeeze out all their value."

"Use absolute force to exploit them and turn the population into a productive force."

"But the Ancient City stronghold has completely ruined my plan. If I do that at this moment, it will only cause the stronghold to collapse sooner."

As he spoke, Qu Yunliu's face gradually became gloomy, and he spoke in a low voice.

"What's bothering me the most right now is that the Ancient City Outpost has been a little too quiet lately."

"They seem to have noticed our food problem. There is no need to attack anymore. They just need to wait for us to collapse."

Upon hearing this, Ajie's expression became nervous. He looked down at the busy crowd below and asked with a frown.

"How long can the current supplies last?"

Qu Yunliu sighed deeply and replied in a deep voice.

"I can only last a month at most. If I can eat human flesh, that's another matter."

Hearing this, Ajie's pupils shrank, but he immediately clenched the knife he had hidden in his hand and looked at Qu Yunliu coldly.

Now, he was only three steps away from Qu Yunliu, and he was confident enough to get rid of this guy before Qu Yunliu had time to shoot.

"You don't have to react so strongly. Although I'm not a good person, I know that if I start eating people, then my goal will never be achieved."

Qu Yunliu obviously noticed Ajie's actions, but did not take it to heart. He just said it lightly. Ajie did not let down his guard because of this, but said coldly.
