LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 50: Plunder
After receiving the order, the Qin family’s army marched into the shelter in a grand procession and began to count the supplies.
At first, the survivors did not understand what was happening and welcomed the Qin family’s army.
They had not heard Qin Jun’s command to force the Evolvers of Donghua City to act as cannon fodder. They only saw that Qin Jun had killed Blood Bear.
After Blood Bear’s death, the tens of thousands of survivors in the shelter had cheered, applauded, and cried tears of joy. They all believed that better days were coming.
But soon, they realized something was wrong.
Once the Qin family’s army took over the shelter, they immediately sealed off the warehouses and began to count the supplies. Then they started to move the incredibly valuable food and medical supplies onto trucks.
Without these supplies, the Evolvers might have been able to scavenge the ruins of the city for resources, but what about the ordinary people?!
Outside the shelter, there were wandering zombies everywhere, posing extreme danger. Trying to gather supplies on their own was a death sentence!
A middle-aged woman grabbed the soldier who was moving the supplies, her face full of panic, and asked, “Where are you taking these supplies?”
The soldier replied calmly, “We’re taking them all back to Dongdu.”The people were stunned and asked, “Taking everything? What about us? What are we supposed to do?”
The soldier’s face was emotionless as he coldly turned away and continued moving supplies. The lives of these people had nothing to do with him.
Perhaps in the old days, he might have felt sympathy for the survivors, but after experiencing this catastrophe, soldiers had seen it all and had become numb.
In the apocalypse, survival was the most important thing. The soldier was thankful to be a member of the Qin family’s army, enjoying relatively good treatment in this chaotic world.
Having such a powerful backer was a stroke of luck. He only needed to follow the orders of the Qin family.
He didn’t care about anything else.
Qin Jun looked at the tens of thousands of survivors in the shelter with a cold expression. To him, these ordinary people were just a number, a resource, no different from the supplies.
They were meant to be controlled and allocated to where he deemed fit. He did not concern himself with the losses in the process.
He turned to Wang Hai and ordered, “Count the healthy men aged 14 to 40 and the healthy women who can bear children, and take them along with the supplies.”
In the apocalypse, not only were supplies extremely precious, but people were too. After all, the factories in Dongdu operated 24/7, with black slaves dying every day and requiring a constant replenishment of manpower.
Healthy women who could bear children were especially valuable. They would become commodities, filling the entertainment venues in Dongdu for soldiers’ enjoyment and relaxation.
If they had children, those children would be managed and educated to become future supporters of the Qin family’s rule.
Soon, Qin Jun’s orders were carried out.
Under the barrels of the army’s guns, the people cried out in desperation, tears streaming down their faces, helplessly watching as their supplies were taken away and the young and women were forcibly abducted.
Only the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled remained. They never expected that Qin Jun was even more ruthless and merciless than Blood Bear.
Blood Bear was cruel, but at least they had food and could barely survive. Yet this refined young master from a noble family was forcing them all to the brink of death!
Without the young and without supplies, how would they survive? They would either be eaten by zombies or starve to death!
For a moment, the entire shelter was in chaos, filled with cries and screams. Some people tried to resist, but were met with ruthless suppression.
Soon, countless bodies lay on the ground, blood flowing like rivers. The place had turned into a living hell!
The Evolvers of Donghua City could only watch this scene with grim expressions, but none dared to intervene.
They knew Blood Bear’s strength, and if they couldn’t even see how Blood Bear was killed by Qin Jun, how could they think of fighting back against the over seventy Evolvers around Qin Jun?
They knew that any resistance would certainly lead to death. As for the pain and wails of the ordinary people, they pretended not to see.
…
Far from the shelter, a shadow was hidden in the void.
It was Xu Chao’s shadow.
After Xu Chao’s shadow was resurrected, he had been constantly controlling the shadow, staying hidden near the shelter to see if his plan had succeeded and if it had caused any conflict between the Qin family and Blood Bear.
Indeed, the Qin family had fought with Blood Bear, but the process and outcome had far exceeded his expectations.
There was no fierce battle, no mutual destruction. Blood Bear had been crushed to death by Qin Jun!
Listening to the distant screams and cries from the shelter, Xu Chao felt a shiver of fear.
Qin Jun was truly ruthless!
He not only looked down on ordinary people but also disregarded Blood Bear’s life! This was an extremely dangerous person. There was almost no way to escape once you provoked him.
But Xu Chao was not particularly nervous. After all, he was only manifesting as a shadow, and no one knew his true identity.
With this thought, Xu Chao felt a sense of security. He was in an undefeated position!
Xu Chao took one last look at Qin Jun before the shadow slowly disappeared.
He planned to reappear once Qin Jun goes to hunt the Zombie King, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to get the Zombie King’s crystal core. Even if he failed, he could at least annoy Qin Jun.
At worst, he would just be reborn again as a shadow. What was there to fear? Would Qin Jun ever know his true identity?
…
Xie Han received a phone call and walked over to Qin Jun, whispering, “Young Master, there is news about Xu Chao…”
