nChapter 49:1 Reasoned With You, But You Fought With Me?
nTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
n“Do you have a problem or something!?”
nZhang Chengcheng started cursing the moment she opened her mouth. Her words weren’t particularly harsh, but they hit the mark.
nDespite usually being a devoted fan of Lu Ming, Zhang Chengcheng, as the second-in-command in the Zhang family’s gathering place, was a beautiful and stylish woman. She was efficient and straightforward in her work, and her temperament was bold and vigorous.
nWhile speaking, she walked forward with her eyes glaring, but she was stopped by Wang Xiong.
nStanding in front of Zhang Chengcheng, Wang Xiong looked at Brother Shen and his group, and asked in a deep voice, “What do you mean, brother?”
n“What do I mean? Are you deaf? Or don’t you understand human language?!”
nCheng Shen pointed at Wang Xiong and shouted, “Let me say it again. If you touch my things, you’ll have to compensate! Women, cars, I want them all! Do you understand now?”
nWang Xiong’s expression immediately darkened.
n“And what if we don’t give?”
nHeh… you can give it a try.”
nAs he spoke, Cheng Shen clenched his fists and slowly walked towards Lu Ming and his companions.
nSeeing that the battle was about to break out, Lu Ming took a step forward and said earnestly, “Sir, I think some of the things you said are not quite appropriate.
nFor example, you said that the food here belongs to you. That’s not right.
n“The things here belong to the Zhang family’s gathering place. And the lady beside me was originally the second-in-command of the Zhang family’s gathering place. Of course, the original Zhang family’s gathering place was democratic, and the things didn’t belong to any individual, but to everyone.
n“Now that the Zhang family’s gathering place has been destroyed, the things inside are ownerless. We can take them, and you can take them too.”
nThis was also why Lu Ming was unwilling to argue about the ownership of the supplies just now—it was fine for anyone to take ownerless items.
n“Let’s take another step back and say that Mr. Li Zitong on your side theoretically has a portion of the ownership of the supplies. As for Ms. Zhang Chengcheng here, on our side, she also has ownership rights over a portion of the supplies.
n“So, friend, as you can see, look, there’s no problem with either group taking the supplies here.
nSince we’ve bumped into each other now, I’m inclined to let each side take as much as they can. What do you think?”
nLu Ming’s lengthy speech left everyone stunned.
nWang Xiong opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say.
nZhang Chengcheng was also stunned for a moment before nodding after some thought. “Brother Lu makes sense. Assuming that ownerless items belong to oneself, how is that any different from robbery?”
nAs normal people, under the condition of having enough food and drink, they wouldn’t resort to robbery.
nLu Ming glanced at Zhang Chengcheng in agreement and nodded. “My words definitely make sense, and I’m the most reasonable person.”
nAfter saying that, Lu Ming looked at Cheng Shen again. “Don’t misunderstand. Our reasoning is not the same thing. I’m really reasonable, and your reasoning is fake.”
nLu Ming was indeed reasonable.
nHe was unwilling to engage in fights, and if there were fights, it was only out of necessity. If he did not kill others, he would have to die himself.
nLu Ming believed that even in the apocalypse, reason should prevail among people.
nAfter all, with justice on your side, you could travel the world…
nFighting and killing were dangerous! It was best to avoid them if possible.
nAfter a moment of confusion, Cheng Shen burst out laughing.
nHe laughed so hard that he doubled over.
nAfter laughing for a minute, Cheng Shen raised his head, pointed at Lu Ming, and scolded him jokingly, “Are you an idiot?! Huh?!”
nLu Ming frowned. “Why are you still insulting people? We’re being reasonable.”
n“Reason?! Why should I reason with you?! My words are reasons!”
nBefore he could finish his sentence, Cheng Shen had already stomped on the ground and shot towards Lu Ming like a cannonball.
nWhen Li Zitong saw this scene from behind, he immediately closed his eyes helplessly.
nBecause Cheng Shen was a Level 2 Awakened…
nIn his view, with Cheng Shen’s strength as a Level 2 Awakened, he was enough to crush everyone present. The fate of Wang Xiong, Zhang Chengcheng, and the others was self-evident.
nHowever, he did not see the stunned expressions on Wang Xiong and Zhang Chengcheng’s faces when they witnessed this scene.
nA hint of strange light flashed in their eyes…
nThey were well aware of Lu Ming’s strength.
nAlthough they did not know how strong Cheng Shen was, no matter how strong he was, he could not possibly be Lu Ming’s match.
nWhen Brother Lu reasoned with you, you didn’t listen and resorted to violence…
nEven if you sought death, this was not the way to do it.
nCheng Shen was confident that he could completely control the entire scene…
nThis was because he was ‘well aware’ of the background of the people opposite him.
nCheng Shen had already heard from Li Zitong about the Zhang family’s gathering place.
nWang Xiong and Zhang Chengcheng were both Level 1 Awakened. As for Zhang Ye, who was a Level 2 Awakened, he did not appear here, it was highly likely that he was dead. He was also a Level 2 Awakened, so he naturally knew how terrifying the zombie wave caused by his advancement was. Few people could survive under the pursuit of the Hunters, so Zhang Ye’s fate could be easily deduced.
nTo a Level 2 Awakened, a Level 1 Awakened was like a little brother.
nAs for Lu Ming, he had also heard about him from Yu Fei and Bai Lu.
nThe one from Guangping Street.
nWang Xiong had also evaluated that Lu Ming was not as strong as him.
nTherefore, it was very easy to determine the difference in strength between the two sides.
nOn his side, there was one Level 2 Awakened and four Level 1 Awakened.
nOver there, there were three Level 1 Awakened.
nAlthough he had Li Zitong as an unstable factor, the absolute strength of a Level 2 Awakened was enough to overwhelm everything!
nAs for whether there would be Level 2 Awakened ones among the opponents…
nCheng Shen didn’t think so.
nDefinitely not!
nIt was still the same thing.
nThe danger of advancing was too great. Were Level 2 Awakened individuals so easy to come by?
nThe distance of less than ten meters was crossed by Cheng Shen in a split second. He threw a piercing punch at Lu Ming’s face. At the same time, bone spikes protruded from Cheng Shen’s fist like daggers.
nThis was Cheng Shen’s superpower.
nIn Cheng Shen’s expectations, this punch was enough to blow Lu Ming’s head off and it could also serve as a deterrent.
nAt that time, the military vehicle and the beautiful female Awakened would all be his—he would have a new toy for tonight…
nWhile he was indulging in thoughts of his absurd nocturnal life, a tremendous resistance stopped Cheng Shen’s movement.
nStunned, he looked ahead.
nHe saw that Lu Ming in front had already extended his hand, gripping his right wrist tightly, rendering him completely immobile!
nDie!
nCheng Shen shouted. The bone spikes protruded and shot towards Lu Ming’s eyes like bullets, but Lu Ming dodged them with a tilt of his head…
nCheng Shen was stunned again.
nLu Ming’s eyes slowly turned bloodshot.
n“Wait…”
nHe sensed that something was wrong. Just as he said the word ‘wait’, Lu Ming interrupted him.
n“You’re trying to kill me.”
nThe feeling of restraint on his hand became stronger and stronger.
nCheng Shen had already noticed that his wrist bones were beginning to groan.
nCorrespondingly, the blood vessels in Lu Ming’s eyes increased.
nHis tone became colder and calmer.
n“You’re trying to kill me.
nIf you hit me with your fists and stopped at the stage of fighting, then the bone spikes are equivalent to you stabbing me with a dagger. You stabbed a vital spot like the head. The bone spikes that flew out in the end are equivalent to firearms. You’ve already hit me with a gun…”
nHe had already used a gun. Lu Ming did not even dare to think about what would happen in the future!
nSelf-defense!
nCounterattack!!
nThe instinct for survival made Lu Ming hold nothing back.
nUsing the techniques he had learned from Wang Xiong, Lu Ming suddenly swung his right fist and punched Cheng Shen’s temple ruthlessly.
nThere was a loud “crack” sound.
nHis huge head was violently sent flying, but Cheng Shen’s body remained in front of Lu Ming.
nBlood spurted out from the gaping wound the size of a bowl.
nThe broken cervical vertebrae burst into the air.
nThe bloody and violent scene made everyone fall silent.
nLu Ming followed up with a hard kick at Cheng Shen’s chest.
nFirst his head, then his heart!
nWhen facing such a violent assailant, Lu Ming had no possibility of showing mercy..
