Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert

"Who knows?" Red Hair said impatiently. "At the rate he plays like this, even if he doesn't die this time, he'll probably be dead next time. If it weren't for the fact that Painted Face Bro is still useful, I would have beaten him up long ago!"

Green Hair grew angrier the more he thought about it. "No wonder he has a pig's head and is covered in bumps. Forget about the people over there beating him up, I'd want to do it myself. I couldn't find a movie with someone this freakish..."

Seeing that the group's resentment was growing, the man with the painted face finally spoke up.

"Be generous. They're just two ordinary girls. They're no big deal if they're gone. Didn't Xiaohui say there are two other women next door? Once Li Wenwu gets his job done, you'll definitely get your share, won't you?"

Upon hearing this, the group nodded in agreement.

Yes, out with the old, in with the new.

They'd long since grown tired of those two women, but they were simply struggling to find other living people...

"But Brother Painted Face, is that Li Wenwu reliable? Last time we couldn't fool that boxer, and now we're sending him again. What if he ends up exposing us instead of fooling us?"

"Exactly, that kid came to us on his own initiative, saying that with his help we could definitely lure all the people next door over, and all we had to do was lie in wait. But less than half an hour later, he said on the walkie-talkie that the plan had changed. I always feel that that kid is inconsistent in his actions."

The man with the painted face smirked and exhaled a smoke ring. "You think I sent him over again just to trick that tough guy into coming here?"

"So, what does the guy with the painted face mean...?"

Several people looked at each other.

Hua Lian chuckled, "That kid doesn't look like he can accomplish anything. He said that this group is about to leave. They've accumulated quite a bit of supplies, but they usually lock all the doors, including the fire doors, very tightly. It's almost impossible to force our way in without alerting them. They're on guard, so the risk is even greater."

"That guy has a fighting background, so he can't be weak. He's also cautious, so he probably can't be fooled. If he senses something's wrong, he might just take his men to the underground parking lot and drive away."

"So Li Wenwu's mission this time is twofold: first, to try again to see if he can fool them; second, if he really can't fool them, he should lie in wait downstairs and, as soon as he sees them carrying large bags and small packages downstairs, immediately notify me so we can go straight to the basement and ambush them on the spot!"

"The two units are right next to each other. Even if there are zombies on the basement level, they can rush over before they can drive. At that point, no matter how good he is, how many can he fight when attacked from both sides?"

After hearing this, the three immediately exclaimed that the Painted-Face Brother was brilliant.

The painted-face man was engrossed in his calculations, glancing down at the time.

"If there's still no movement at this hour, the scam has probably failed. Get ready, just wait for Li Wenwu's signal to go down to the underground parking garage. Also..."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked forward until he reached the shoe cabinet by the door, where he slowly stopped and squatted down.

A person was tightly bound here, his face covered in bruises and dried blood, his head hanging low, motionless.

"Your name is Zhang Shanhai, right?"

The figure remained unresponsive.

Painted Face wasn't in a hurry. He touched his rough, stubble-covered face and grinned maliciously, "You are indeed strong. It took me a lot of effort to subdue you, but unfortunately, you're too stubborn."

"I'll say it again: I need manpower and I value talent. I'll give you two options."

"First, follow me and work for me, and you'll live a life of luxury. Even that Li Wenwu who betrayed you, you can handle him if you just ask. After all... nobody likes traitors, and I'm no exception."

"Second, keep acting like this and keep putting on a brave face. But when I go out next time, you'll only be food for me to lure away the zombies. You should know that food is..."

Pooh!

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Shanhai spat a mouthful of sticky phlegm mixed with blood directly onto Hua Lian's forehead.

The painted face visibly darkened, and he wiped it hard.

boom!

A punch landed squarely on Zhang Shanhai's face.

Zhang Shanhai collapsed to the ground, choking on a mouthful of blood.

The painted-face man didn't stop; his fists rained down, one after another.

No matter how he hit him, Zhang Shanhai, lying on the ground, gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Only a pair of bloodshot eyes, filled with intense hatred, regret, and even murderous intent.

These extreme emotions are not directed at the painted-face character.

Or perhaps it was only a small part directed at the painted-face characters and those present, while the majority originated from another person…

Li Wenwu.

Zhang Shanhai thought a lot during that night.

Most of what I heard were the things Chen Tuo had said...

"Old Zhang, Li Wenwu is a menace. If you keep him around, this will definitely not be the last time you get screwed over."

"Old Zhang, you need to change your soft-hearted habit. This is the end times, things are different from before, otherwise you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later."

"Old Zhang, that woman is suspicious. She wants to talk to you privately. Don't believe her. If you're unsure, come find me first..."

Each sentence was etched into his mind like nails, and Zhang Shanhai deeply regretted his past actions.

He had ignored all the loopholes in Li Wenwu and Fang Hui's words in a moment of impulsiveness.

Looking back now, it was incredibly stupid.

Recalling everything Li Wenwu did in front of him last night, how he ravaged those two women, he could only ask himself why he had been so open and honest with this beast before.

If I had seen through him earlier that he was a beast in human skin, I should have killed him with my own hands.

Now, not only have those two women been harmed, but Chen Tuo may also be implicated.

He cursed himself repeatedly in his heart: "Being naive is one thing, but not listening to advice is another. Who else would I take advantage of if not you? You deserve it!"

If it were just my own death, I would accept it. But if it implicates Chen Tuo and the other two, that would be a sin that even death cannot atone for...

……

"You truly are the worst of the worst, a super-powerful beast!"

In the waiting hall, Li Wenwu had already confessed everything.

With Jiang Xin and Chen Tuo taking turns to serve him, he, who was not a tough nut to crack, naturally told them everything he could.

How did they trick Zhang Shanhai? How did they abuse the two women with the painted face? How did they conspire with the painted face to plan this? And what did the painted face tell them?

She went through everything, from beginning to end, almost recounting her entire elementary and middle school experiences.

As for why he vomited so completely...

It was all because Chen Tuo didn't trust Li Wenwu's character. He always felt that the kid was hiding something, so even though he knelt down from the start, Jiang Xin kept interrogating him.

During the interrogation, he even confessed to how he used to peep at his second sister-in-law while she was bathing when he was a child. Only then did Chen Tuo believe that he had truly emptied his purse strings...

Jiang Xin clicked her tongue repeatedly, her eyes filled with utter contempt for Li Wenwu, yet also with a hint of admiration.

After all, to be able to go to such lengths as a beast is truly one of a kind in the world.

Shu Yao was so angry that she was trembling all over. Even someone as good-tempered as her wanted to kill him with an entrenching tool.

Chen Tuo, on the other hand, remained surprisingly calm.

He believed from the beginning that Li Wenwu was a menace and that keeping him around would cause trouble sooner or later.

As expected, something bad happened.

I had no expectations of him to begin with, so how could I be disappointed?

Chen Tuo was not surprised at all that he could do such a thing.

Li Wenwu was lifted up, and the tools on the ground were picked up. Chen Tuo called to Shu Yao and Jiang Xin to prepare to go out.

The two women were taken aback. "Brother Tuo, what's going on here...?"

Chen Tuo grinned. "What for? To catch mice, of course."
