I spat out a mouthful of blood, held the food bowl, stared into his eyes, and spoke slowly.

"If there is an afterlife, I hope you can remember the feeling that follows until the next life."

"Pain, cold, and death."

"I also want you to remember that retribution sometimes really does come."

After saying that, I held the food bowl with both hands and smashed it hard on Liu Yong's head.

Again and again, again and again.

I don't know how many times I hit him, nor do I know if Liu Yong died from that hit. I just wanted to smash his face into a bloody mess.

A crisp sound, Crack, stopped my movements. I looked up at the food bowl and saw a crack spreading upwards like a spider web.

I looked at the food bowl and asked softly.

"Do you think that's enough?"

As if to answer, the food bowl suddenly shattered into countless pieces, falling onto Liu Yong's bloody face.

Looking at this scene, I slowly stood up, but I felt that I should still say something.

So I made the sign of the cross on my chest and whispered.

“May you be reunited.”

"Amen."

Chapter 60: Fear (two chapters in one)

“May you be reunited.”

"Amen."

Joking words, insincere blessings, and disgust towards such things as gods.

The sound of gunfire was still ringing outside the window, but that was not my battlefield. I stood up and found a three-legged chair in the mess.

I leaned the chair against the wall and sat on it reluctantly. I leaned my back against the wall, raised my head, and let out a long breath.

"call……"

My relaxed body seemed to have finally remembered the pain. Just by breathing, I felt the muscles all over my body throbbing, as if countless ants were gnawing at me.

At the same time, my body was healing on its own. The broken ribs were reconnected, and the squirming granulation tissue pushed out the rotten flesh in the wound. On my head, the healed flesh also squeezed out the glass shards.

This feeling was tingling and numb, like an electric shock, and combined with the pain from the wound, I didn't know how to react.

While waiting for my wound to heal, I had nothing to do so I thought about the fight just now. There was a question that puzzled me.

I know Liu Yong is a good fighter, but he is too good. He can carry me and smash pillars one after another. This is simply not a strength that a human can possess.

Also, there was something wrong with his body. My strength was not low, but during the fight, I felt like I was just scraping him.

Liu Yong was hit by my heavy punches many times. A normal person would have fallen down long ago, but he acted as if nothing happened. You know, even Ajie, that strong man, couldn't withstand a few of my punches.

The reason I was able to win was entirely due to the infinite health bar scraping.

I stood up slowly. Although I was covered in blood and looked like I wouldn't live long, my wounds had healed.

"There must be..."

"Something must have changed his physique."

For no reason, this thought came to my mind. Liu Yong's behavior was too abnormal. There must be something I didn't know about.

I looked around. There were quite a few cabinets on this floor. If there really were something strange, Liu Yong would subconsciously avoid that place during the fight with me.

I stepped into the room full of dust and sawdust, opened all the cabinets, took out the messy things inside and threw them on the ground.

While rummaging around, I threw a piece of clothing on the ground, but when it landed, I heard the sound of iron falling behind me.

Snapped.

I paused and turned my head to look, only to see the clothes lying quietly on the floor.

What's hidden in there?

I walked over quickly and tore the clothing into pieces roughly. An iron box fell out from the torn fabric and hit the floor, making another crisp sound.

Snapped.

Along with this crisp sound, there was an instant surge of uneasiness and fear in my heart.

I held my breath and carefully reached my fingers towards the iron box, as if there was some horrible monster hidden in it.

The iron box is very light, and even if you shake it slightly, you can't hear what's inside.

I frowned, pressed the edge of the iron box, and slowly opened the lid.

The next moment, it was as if a basin of ice water fell on me head on, chilling me to the bone.

My pupils shrank and my whole body trembled. Looking at the pink petals that were only left in the iron box, I felt a sense of fear, covering the sky and crushing towards me.

Just at this moment, I heard footsteps on the stairs. I hurriedly closed the iron box and put it into my pocket.

When I stood up, the footsteps had reached the third floor. I looked up and saw Ajie walking towards me excitedly.

"We won, we fucking won!"

Ajie gave me a bear hug and shouted loudly. His hoarse voice made my ears hurt a little. I calmed down, rolled my eyes at him, and pushed him away.

"Stop being so pretentious, old man."

Ajie was still excited. He patted my shoulder and glanced at the bodies upstairs, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"I didn't expect you to be so powerful. Gao Lian and the others said that you would definitely die this time."

I pretended to be calm and smiled complacently.

“Don’t underestimate a man who can be a businessman in the end times.”

Ajie curled his lips slightly and muttered softly.

"Tsk, you've got me this time."

After that, the two of us no longer lingered and turned to walk downstairs. When we walked up the long stairs and out of the ancient building, I saw a dense crowd of people.

Right in front of the crowd, Gao Lian and his two companions were looking at me with smiles on their faces, the blood still on their faces.

Suddenly, Ajie beside me grabbed my arm, raised it high, and shouted to the crowd.

"Liu Yong is dead! Dead!!"

Then, the whole crowd seemed to explode, and deafening cheers rang out in an instant. This sound represented their fear of Liu Yong, and also represented their anger towards Liu Yong.

I don't know how Gao Lian and the others explained this mission to the crowd, because amid cheers, they rushed forward, lifted my body above their heads, and threw me high into the air.

"Stop making trouble, everyone."

My voice seemed insignificant in the cheers and I could only be thrown high up again and again like a toy.

The sky is very blue today, without a trace of clouds. Every time I am thrown into the air, the blue sky in my eyes does not seem to get any closer to me.

But I know that when I was thrown into the air, I was indeed a little closer to the blue sky.

After a long time, the celebrating crowd finally calmed down, and I was finally free.

People began to clean up the messy battlefield. At this time, Wang Zixuan, with a young mother, slowly walked to my side.

Wang Zixuan first bowed deeply to me and spoke in a low voice.

"Thank you."

Seeing this, the young mother also bowed and thanked me while holding her child.

I was stunned for a moment, then I reacted when I looked at the baby in the young mother's arms.

"Is this Liu Yong's son?"

The young mother hugged the baby in her arms nervously, nodded gently, and spoke weakly.

"Yes."

In fact, I didn’t know that people didn’t vent their anger on the poor woman, but they didn’t intend to let Liu Yong’s child go.

The decision of how to deal with the baby was left to their most trusted sister, Wang Zixuan.

However, Wang Zixuan found it difficult to let go of the resentment in her heart, but she couldn't bear to kill the baby in the cradle. She was hesitant, so she brought the young mother and her child to find me.

At this moment, I may be the most prestigious and persuasive person in this ancient city.

However, I didn't know all this at the time.

I just lowered my head, stretched out my fingers, and gently pressed on the baby's tiny palm. Looking at the tiny palm, I couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"His hands are so small."

The young mother, becoming increasingly uneasy, simply nodded slightly.

At this moment, the life of this baby depends on my words.

I withdrew my fingers, looked at the haggard and uneasy young mother, smiled slightly, and spoke softly.

"Live well."

I didn't stop. After saying this, I walked straight towards Ajie.

At the same time, Ajie was walking towards me, turning a car key in his hand. After seeing me, he threw the car key to me.

"Here, the car keys you asked for. The car is parked in the back."

I took the car keys, nodded to Ajie and smiled.

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

There was a so-called celebration banquet in the evening. Logically, I shouldn't have left, but I had something that urgently needed to be confirmed, and I had no intention of attending any celebration banquet.

I temporarily left the big truck to Ajie and the others so that they could pick up the elderly people from the Xise stronghold.

After Liu Yong's cruel rule, there were only a few hundred people left in this stronghold. The space and food here were enough to accommodate many people.

I believe that this stronghold will become prosperous in the days to come.

But this is no longer something I need to think about.

I hurriedly got into the car that Ajie prepared for me, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and left the ancient city stronghold.

Perhaps because of the gunshots, many zombies gathered outside the gate of the ancient city stronghold. They chased me for a long time but couldn't catch up.

These zombies are still so stupid. I changed the car and they couldn’t recognize me.

But apart from these stupid zombies, I can feel that under this apocalyptic wasteland, there is an undercurrent, and a crisis that I am not aware of is approaching me step by step.

Pink flowers, it’s that damn pink flowers again. Didn’t I destroy the source of these pink flowers? Why do they appear again?

Moreover, these pink flowers have special effects that I don’t know about. They can enable Liu Yong, an ordinary person, to gain such terrifying explosive power and physique.

But I have also inhaled those pink flowers, why don’t I have a similar experience? Don’t these pink flowers have such an effect on the immortal body?

Damn it! What the hell did that brain-damaged god leave under this wasteland?

My face became increasingly gloomy, and I honked the horn frantically.

I didn't even have time to touch the shield stronghold when pink flowers appeared again.

Amid all the anxiety, I began to feel like giving up.

Never mind the shield towers or the pink flowers. I've done what I wanted to do.

Next, I just need to take Tongtong away from here and live the ordinary life I want.

I thought about this, but I couldn't convince myself to do it no matter what. I was just filled with helpless rage.

After a long time, the car drove into the city, and I followed the route I remembered and drove all the way to the city center.

Finally, at sunset, I saw the nightmare ruins again.

I stepped onto the ruins with trepidation, walking forward step by step on the gravel under my feet.

This place seems to have changed from the last time I came here, and I can't find the small building that is the source.

So I stopped searching, slowly squatted down, and gently lifted a corner of the gravel on the ground.

There was no soil under the ruins, but a dense patch of pink flowers, just like what I saw last time.
