The Absolute Favorite in the Apocalyptic Rebirth

This was a dilapidated factory. In this apocalyptic world, dark red bloodstains, shredded flesh, and uncleaned zombie corpses were everywhere. When a group of people was chased into this place by a seventh-level zombie, it unknowingly became a dangerous trap.

"Lou Dian, do you know what you are doing?"

A trembling male voice roared. However, because of extreme fear, it sounded forceful but hollow, lacking any real threat. It also lacked the usual confidence and arrogance, sounding just like those powerless ordinary people in this desperate apocalyptic world, full of numbness and despair.

A man and a woman supported each other, their backs tightly pressed against the dilapidated wall, looking at the man in the black cloak not far away with fear.

In the orange sunset, the man with clean brows and eyes gave off an almost holy and flawless feeling. He had a handsome and fair face, a tall and slender figure, and a soft smile on his face in the setting sun. The dilapidated and decadent background behind him seemed to cast a halo on him, like hope in the dark apocalypse, and like despair in the light.

However, the Tang saber dripping blood in his hand abruptly pulled people back to reality.

This was a bloodthirsty butcher. It was he who cruelly slaughtered their companions one by one with this knife.

"Lou Dian!" Feng Shaohuang's expression was somewhat desperate, and after the despair came unwillingness. He said hatefully, "Even if you want to kill us, you have to give us a reason!"

He didn't understand. Just a moment ago, they were still struggling to deal with that seventh-level zombie, and the next moment, the teammates they could rely on fell into the zombie horde one by one for no reason and were bitten to death alive. It wasn't until this man raised his butcher knife towards his teammate that he realized that the man who designed this massacre was this man.

Or perhaps, since half a year ago, this man had been planning this massacre. He wanted all of them to die at the mouth of zombies, all of them devoured alive by zombies. Although he had never experienced it, he could feel the pain from those painful howls on the verge of death.

Those wise old people who had seen through the world said that people who were eaten alive by such evil creatures as zombies would not even have their souls redeemed after death. Although he scoffed at this statement in his heart, many people still subconsciously preferred to commit suicide in despair rather than experience the pain of being devoured alive by zombies.

But this man actually cruelly stopped them from committing suicide and watched them being devoured by zombies with cold eyes.

He hated him so much! If it weren't for this man, the team he worked so hard to build, his brothers, his dreams, would not be destroyed here.

The man tilted his head slightly, as if the sunlight was hurting his eyes. After the apocalypse, there were very few such soft and beautiful sunsets, and very few people would pay attention to whether the sunset was beautiful or not. The cruel life in the apocalypse made everyone have only one thought: to live!

So, in fact, even you agree that I killed them to avenge you, right?

A faint smile appeared on the man's handsome and fair face, so gentle that it made one's heart palpitate. His clean and soft voice sounded, "The reason for killing you, didn't you already know?"

Qin Ling looked at the face bathed in the sunset, her eyes filled with infatuation and resentment. That clean voice was like a pure land in this filthy apocalypse, driving her crazy and unable to extricate herself. However, when she met those cruel and cold eyes, she couldn't help but laugh, laughing so hard that tears came out.

The woman's beautiful face was covered with tears, but she said in the most vicious tone, "Lou Dian, you are avenging her, right? Heh, don't you want to know how she died? Let me tell you, we stole your necklace and hair and lied to her, saying that you were bitten by a zombie and would die soon. That fool was actually deceived out of the base, and then we pushed her into the zombie horde and was bitten to death alive by the zombies… Hahaha, she thought you were really going to die until she died, but she kept wanting to find you…"

Her voice came to an abrupt end as the Tang saber pierced through her shoulder blade, making her too painful to speak.

The man in black slowly pulled out the Tang saber. The pain of the knife cutting through her flesh was excruciating. He put the blood-stained Tang saber in front of her chin, drew a bloodstain on it with the blade, and said gently, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'll just let you taste what it's like to be bitten alive by a zombie. It's fair, isn't it?"

"Lou Dian, you can't… My father is a member of the research institute—" Feng Shaohuang's face turned pale. Although he resented him for designing all this, his own life was the most important. He said eagerly, "And Lou Ling's death has nothing to do with me. It was their own idea! Yes, that's it! Qin Ling liked you, so she was jealous of Lou Ling and designed to kill her. Your previous mission was also forced by her using her connections. The purpose was to get you to leave the base so that she could kill Lou Ling…"

"Shut up!" Qin Ling's voice was a little hoarse, and she said coldly, "That was also your instruction. If Lou Ling hadn't refused to sleep with you and didn't know how to appreciate favors, would you have acquiesced to this? Hehe, I just didn't expect that you would really be willing to avenge her even at the cost of your own life. Lou Dian, I would rather die at your hands—ah…"

As she spoke, she slammed her body forward. Unfortunately, the Tang saber was retracted very quickly, causing her to fall directly to the ground.

The man seemed to be enjoying their embarrassment. Although there was such an indifferent smile on his face, there was an inorganic coldness and cruelty in his eyes.

"I said I won't kill you, I'll just let you taste what it's like to be bitten alive by a zombie."

While the two were so terrified that they wanted to escape again, the man had already bullied his way up. The Tang saber easily cut through their tendons and hamstrings, cutting off their thoughts of escape.

The smell of blood permeated the air and drifted into the distance. When the mental barrier disappeared, the nearby zombies smelled the blood and became excited.

"No—don't come over—"

The man jumped onto the four-meter-high wall and looked down at the two people crawling on the ground like ants, trying to escape. However, the zombies attracted by the flesh and blood were faster than them. Dozens of zombies rushed over and bit their flesh and blood.

The screams lasted for a long time.

It wasn't until the zombies were about to devour the two of them that the man looked at the distant sunset with an indifferent expression. After a while, he jumped down from the wall and landed three meters away. Before the zombies could pounce on him, he was already more than ten meters away.

Just as the man reached the gate of the factory, a military truck and a jeep drove from afar and stopped not far from the factory. Then, more than thirty soldiers got out of the truck, each holding the latest particle light gun developed after the apocalypse, and rows of muzzles were aimed at him.

A handsome military officer walked out, looked coldly at the man in front of the factory gate, and said, "Lou Dian, your crime has been established. Surrender now!"

The man turned a deaf ear to it. His dark pupils looked at the woman in white and the middle-aged man who got out of the jeep indifferently. His handsome and fair face seemed to smile, and he asked in a clear voice, "What crime have I committed?"

The woman in white's eyes dimmed, and then she raised the most advanced tracking device in her hand, and said coldly, "You violated the laws of the base and killed your own teammates. Here are the videos and recordings of you killing people. And the person you killed was the son of Dr. Feng from the research institute. Dr. Feng used the TV virus antidote formula as a condition to bring you to justice and avenge Young Master Feng."

Dr. Feng, who was wearing a white lab coat, looked at him with hatred in his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "You killed my son, you must die! No, death is too cheap for you. Take him back to the research institute. There is an experiment there that is very suitable for him." As he spoke, a twisted smile appeared on his face.

The man was silent for a while, then chuckled softly, his body suddenly retreated back to the factory, his speed as light as the wind. The bullets from the particle guns easily pierced through the iron gate, but they did not catch the man's whereabouts.

Suddenly, the woman noticed something, stared at the instrument in her hand, her face changed drastically, and she shouted sharply, "We've been tricked, get out of here! He deliberately left a flaw and lured us here!"

The others didn't understand, but seeing the fear on the woman's face, they all backed away and got into the car.

In the factory, the man bathed in the setting sun had a smile on his face, and said softly, "It's too late, you all have to be buried with her!"

An earth-shattering explosion sounded, and everything within ten miles around the factory was razed to the ground.
