[Martial Arts] Infinite Chamber Game

Environment is a big melting pot. It can turn people into beasts, and it can also turn beasts back into people. Guan Minghui once said something that Chu Liuxiang found very interesting. She said: "If you lose your humanity, you lose a lot. If you lose your beastliness, you lose everything!"①
The emergence of creatures like zombies is indeed almost forcing people to become beasts. Beasts, of course, have no morals, etiquette or shame. Everything they do is just to survive.

And what about these people? They also gathered together to survive. In order to survive, they had to pick up weapons to kill the zombies that feed on flesh and blood! However, zombies are also transformed from humans, just like them, and some are even their relatives and friends. When human heads are broken in front of them, when their hands are used to killing "people", the human side will inevitably be infected with animal nature. They will gradually forget the order of humans and gradually get used to the laws of beasts.

Survival of the fittest, the strong live and the weak die.

At this time, as long as there is a person with bad intentions, with a little guidance, this process will inevitably be accelerated until humanity is completely destroyed.

Fortunately, the situation is not that bad now, and people are still people after all.

Chu Liuxiang took away seventy-three people. This of course took a lot of time and the process was really complicated and messy. It was simply a large-scale werewolf killing.

"I, I'm a human being, a good person! Before the zombies came, I was just an ordinary office worker. I'm very honest! I've never hurt anyone. When someone was beaten, I even spoke up for them!"

"Bah! You're the one who caused the wound on my face. You also killed Boss Zhang because he owed you wages. You even killed his son!"

"I am such a good person. I am also a civil servant! I have been to the countryside and helped the poor! I have also been an outstanding individual in my unit. I even donated money during the previous earthquake!"

"That didn't stop you from raping women. The girl you brought back the day before yesterday was only eleven, and you were willing to do that to her!"

"What kind of good person do you think you are? Didn't you send your sister, who lived in the same room with you, away just for a bite of food? When she wanted to run away, you tipped her off!"

"…I really didn't mean to do that. I was forced to do it! If I didn't do that, they would really kill me!"

"He's a beast! I saw with my own eyes that he pushed his own wife out to feed the zombies!"

"Don't feel sorry for her just because she's a woman. She was never a decent woman. She was a mistress. I heard her bragging to others that the man didn't care about his wife and son being torn apart by zombies in order to protect her."

"Brother, she really seduced me on purpose. Don't believe her nonsense. And she, and she, when I was having sex with that girl, she helped hold me down!"

No one wanted to be left behind, no one wanted to be expelled like a wild animal, and everyone was talking at once, either accusing or exposing their own shortcomings, or describing how they had no choice and how they were bullied for not fitting in. At the most intense moment, dozens of people were talking at the same time, and some even got angrier and started fighting. If this situation happened in the Lijingyuan community, half of the zombies in the city would be recruited.

The group of people argued from noon to evening, and from evening to midnight, and they didn't even have time to eat. Finally, Chu Liuxiang couldn't stand it anymore, and lowered his bottom line a little. He also took in those who had done bad things but were not particularly bad, and who repented very devoutly, and said that they would be good people in the future and would never make mistakes again.

As for the rest, a small number of them are prisoners who should have been executed long ago. There is nothing to say about this. All their weapons and guns will be confiscated and they will be driven out. Whether they live or die will all depend on God's will.

Another part said that they had spent too much effort to build this base, and they did not want to leave here, but they promised not to cross the bottom line of being a human being, and they must be honest and be good people, and they only hope that Chu Liuxiang can give them a way to live. There is nothing to say about this. The guns were taken away, but the weapons were left behind, and the food and daily necessities were also left enough to live for a month.

The next morning, boxes of supplies were loaded onto the trucks. More than seventy people and the supplies drove away in four mid-sized cars and a bus. They were very aggressive and rammed the zombies that surrounded them. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and corpses were everywhere. They returned to the Lijingyuan community in an arrogant manner.

The third brother and his brothers watched in amazement as the convoy drove into the north gate of the community, with a large group of zombies chasing behind them. Then, more than 30 people jumped out of the cars and quickly took care of the zombies. Chu Liuxiang waved in the lead car, and the iron gate opened. The cars drove in one after another and stopped steadily in the open space of the community. Then, the people in the cars walked out like a torrent.

Chu Liuxiang walked in front, greeted the third brother and the others with a smile, and asked him to arrange accommodation for these people. He also suggested that everyone get together later, saying that although the situation was difficult at the moment, it was not to the point of pennilessness, and they could still afford a welcome banquet.

After we have eaten and drunk, the past will be forgotten and we will truly become a family.

The third brother listened blankly, then began to make arrangements in a hurry. While making arrangements, he punched Chu Liuxiang hard on the chest and scolded with a smile: "You are really capable! You brought back so many men and women in one day, good job! With so many people, the whole community can be cleared out. Living as neighbors with zombies, I am worried every day. To be honest, when I saw you haven't come back for such a long time, I thought you were killed!"

Chu Liuxiang just smiled, and after a few words of greeting, he said that he was a little tired and wanted to go back to take a shower and rest. The third brother also smiled and said, "Of course, of course."

The noise of the vehicle coming in was quite loud. Lin Shiyin was still asleep, but when she heard the noise outside, she quickly put on her clothes and got up to go out. But when she opened the door, Chu Liuxiang was standing at her door.

Lin Shiyin was startled at first, then her eyes became hot and she said anxiously: "Why did you take so long? I was so worried all night, and I begged my third brother to bring people to rescue you, but he refused to do so. How are you? Are you hurt?" As she spoke, she let the person in.

"Honestly, not very good."

Before entering the door, Chu Liuxiang stood very straight, walked calmly, and had a confident and gentle smile on his face. But after entering the door, he fell straight into Lin Shiyin's arms. The smile disappeared, replaced by a look of pain that could no longer be endured.

Lin Shiyin hugged him. The moment she touched Chu Liuxiang, she was startled because he had a fever, and it was burning hot.

"How could this happen? What's wrong with you?"

Chu Liuxiang didn't say anything. He stood up straight and took off his coat. The coat was dark and thick. When he took it off, Lin Shiyin gasped in shock.

There was blood under the coat.

Fresh blood overlapped on the dried blood, bright red overcoming gray-brown, layer upon layer.

It's hard to imagine how a person could bleed so much. Lin Shiyin was so shocked that she couldn't even speak.

"The wound has split again. It doesn't hurt, it just looks scary. It's not that serious. I'm just... a little tired." As Chu Liuxiang said this, drops of cold sweat were already sliding down his cheeks.

Lin Shiyin quickly helped him to the bedroom.

This house is on the first floor of Building K. It is not too big, but it is over 90 square meters and has three rooms. Each room is kept very clean by Lin Shiyin.

Of course he couldn't lie down with an injury on his back, so Chu Liuxiang lay on the bed, breathing rapidly. Lin Shiyin had no experience in taking care of the injured and was at a loss for a moment.

"I... I'll go find some medicine to rub on you, but I don't know if you can use it. It seems that there is not much left. What should I do? I'll go find my third brother to get some..." As he said that, he was about to leave.

"Don't go." Chu Liuxiang hurriedly stopped her: "The reason I came to you is that I don't want him to know my situation. The situation is complicated right now. If I show any weakness, I'm afraid we will both be eaten alive."

"Then how can I help you?"

"Is there any water? Bring me a basin of water. If there is medicine, bring as much as you have. Is there anything to eat?"

"Yes, we have them all! Wait a minute, I'll get them!"

There was still some natural gas left in the house, and Little White Flower had taught Lin Shiyin how to use it last night. She boiled a large basin of water on the stove, took some to make instant noodles, poured some into the kettle, and put the rest into the washbasin.

Chu Liuxiang lay on his stomach, slowly slurping instant noodles. His shirt was completely taken off and the bandages were untied, revealing the horrible holes.

Lin Shiyin carefully wiped off the blood with a towel dipped in hot water and sprinkled some medicine powder on it. When the bandage was gone, she covered Chu Liuxiang with her clothes. The clothes were light and thin, which prevented pressure on the wound and did not make people feel cold.

"Is this okay?" Lin Shiyin asked softly, "I still have some painkillers here, do you want to take them? You have such a high fever, you can't keep dragging it out, how about I get some medicine for you?"

There was no reply for a long time, even the sound of slurping instant noodles died down. Lin Shiyin leaned closer and saw that Chu Liuxiang had fallen asleep.

She sighed softly.

Chu Liuxiang did not sleep well. His face was pale, the muscles at the corners of his eyes were twitching, and his brows were wrinkled. The reason he could fall asleep was only because he was too tired and injured too badly, so he fell into a daze.

As Lin Shiyin watched, she couldn't help but feel a sore nose and shed two lines of tears. As if possessed by a ghost, she reached out and gently touched Chu Liuxiang's cheek. She still remembered that when she first met this man, he was so handsome and so high-spirited, but now he has become so haggard...

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door! Lin Shiyin withdrew her hand as if she had suddenly woken up from a dream.

The knocking on the door became louder and louder, as if a few more knocks would knock a hole in the door.

Lin Shiyin ran to open the door. It was Xiao Wu outside. She heard that he was the one who brought her and Chu Liuxiang back. Lin Shiyin was always grateful in her heart. Seeing his panic, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Wu panted and said, "Is Brother Chu here? Ask him to come out quickly. It's terrible. Something happened to the group of people he brought back! There was murder! There was so much blood! Even my third brother was stabbed. My sister-in-law asked me to come and find Brother Chu!"

"What's going on? Don't be impatient, tell me slowly."

Xiao Wu jumped up and said, "How can I not be anxious! I don't know the details, but it seems that a woman, for some reason, hid a knife on her body and stabbed two men. One was stabbed to death on the spot, and the other was still alive and dying. The people around him were not happy and wanted to kill the woman. Third brother didn't want to intervene, but his sister-in-law stopped him, and he was slapped in the face. Third brother got angry, and then I don't know what happened, a group of people started fighting, hey, let me in, Brother Chu! Brother Chu!"

Xiao Wu was shouting at the door. Lin Shiyin was afraid that he would wake Chu Liuxiang up, so she quickly covered his mouth. Her cheeks turned red as she stuttered, "He...he fell asleep. He's been busy all night, so it's inevitable...it's inevitable that he's a little sleepy. Don't shout at him."

She bit her lip, as if she had finally made up her mind, and said, "I'll go."

"what?"

Lin Shiyin said seriously: "I'll take care of it."

Maybe it was because she was too beautiful and looked too weak, Xiao Wu smiled awkwardly: "Stop it, there was blood! Judging from the scene, it would probably take a fight to suppress it, you...?"

Lin Shiyin glanced back, then concealed the uneasy look in her eyes and said two words lightly.

"lead the way."
