I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade

Chapter 1281 - 303: Let’s Go, Head Down, and Embrace a New Future

Wu Yong stared with wide eyes, his eyeballs almost popping out. He couldn’t believe what he had just heard.

"Lili, what are you saying?"

Gu Li sneered, "What am I saying? You’re really stupid. I’ve been with Brother Chuan for a long time, but you never knew. Every night you sleep so soundly. Do you really think you have a good night’s sleep? That’s because I gave you sleeping pills. Brother Chuan is much better than you."

Wu Yong clutched his chest, feeling suffocated. He never expected Gu Li to give him such a huge betrayal, and he had no clue, completely kept in the dark.

Seeing Wu Yong in such distress, Gu Li looked admiringly at Gao Chuan and said, "Brother Chuan, why not just kill him first?"

Such heartless words only made Wu Yong more desperate. He had never given up on her in the apocalypse, only to find out she had long since given up on him.

"Fine, then let’s kill him first. Don’t rush, everyone will get their turn. I’ll make sure you enjoy it," Gao Chuan said, his expression turning increasingly manic as he raised his axe and walked towards Wu Yong.

As a boxer, Liu Na stood up, trying to intervene, but Gao Chuan kicked her back onto the sofa. She was so weak that even getting up took a great effort.

"Don’t worry, your turn will come," Gao Chuan sneered, swinging the firefighter’s axe toward Wu Yong’s head.

This chop would definitely split Wu Yong’s head in two.

"Ah..."

Wu Yong closed his eyes, showing a look of despair.

But he didn’t feel the anticipated pain. When he opened his eyes, he was shocked to find the falling axe had been caught by someone.

"Sure enough, human nature in the apocalypse is terrifying," Sun Neng remarked, taking the axe and easily wrenching it from Gao Chuan, who was left dumbfounded.

"You... how is this possible?"

Gao Chuan staggered backward in shock, fear dawning on his face.

Liu Na was equally stunned. She had thought Sun Neng’s situation was the same as theirs, never expecting it to be all an act.

But she couldn’t figure it out.

Why did he still have strength when they all had the same food?

She looked at Han Xiaoxiao, wondering if Sun Neng had taken the girl’s food. But the girl didn’t look defeated at all; she stood spiritedly as she watched the scene unfold.

If he didn’t take the girl’s food, then what’s going on?

Wang Xiang and the others watched in shock as well.

At this point, Sun Neng seemed shrouded in mystery to them.

Sun Neng casually toyed with the axe, smiling, "There’s nothing impossible. Actually, from the beginning, I never worried about the corpse tide outside. I even had a way to get you all to Sunshine Shelter in Huang City immediately, but I saw early on the problem with you and this bimbo, so I kept quiet and just wanted to watch your show."

"And at the same time..."

He looked at Liu Na, Wang Xiang, and the others, "I also wanted you to understand how helpless it is to fall into despair, and to appreciate those who bring you hope."

"What do you mean?" Liu Na asked.

Sun Neng took out a satellite phone and said, "I’m acquainted with Lin Fan from Sunshine Shelter in Huang City. This phone can contact him, and he will arrive here shortly to take you to Sunshine Shelter."

Liu Na said, "So you wanted us to feel despair and then be grateful to you for bringing us hope?"

"No, not to me, but to Lin Fan. I know his character. If I called right from the start, I might not see what I wanted. I’ve always wondered, in times of despair, how dark human nature can be, or if everyone would choose darkness just to survive," Sun Neng said calmly.

"So, you’ve found the answer, haven’t you?"

"Yes, I have. You’re quite commendable, Liu Na, and Wang Xiang too. He has courage and responsibility. He went out to seek supplies knowing there were many zombies, and then there’s Wu Yong and these two here. Surviving the apocalypse is truly a miracle."

Sun Neng remembered the people who supported He Mingxuan back in prison. Why did they support him? Now he realizes it was because He Mingxuan gave them hope in despair.

At this moment,

Gao Chuan was breathing heavily.

"You’ve been playing me all along."

Sun Neng said, "Not playing, just observing what you would do in the end. As I expected, you wanted to kill them and use them as reserve food. Many make the same choice as you in the apocalypse."

"I’ll kill you!" Gao Chuan roared, charging at Sun Neng.

Sun Neng looked disdainful, and with a loud bang, he kicked Gao Chuan, sending him flying into the distant wall.

Everyone was stunned by his strength.

They never expected Sun Neng to be so fierce.

"Who are you really?" Liu Na asked.

Sun Neng replied, "Don’t worry, I mean you no harm. I’ll contact Lin Fan in Huang City for you. As for the situation, I think I can quote Lin Fan: ’He attacked me, I felt my life was threatened, and self-defense in such circumstances is justified.’"

Liu Na: ...

Wang Xiang: ...

Random Men: ...

Sun Neng patted Wu Yong’s shoulder, "Alright, you’re a good person, truly a good person. Some people just don’t deserve you. What do you want to do with her?"
