Chapter 38: Scum among people

"You guys, try to stop the bleeding for your boss. If he dies, I want you to bury him." Although Xie Tian looked quite angry on weekdays, he was extremely fierce when he started. The two shots just now scared the minions to death. The few people around Brother Qiang hurried forward and helped his boss stop the blood.

Then, Xie Tian stepped hard on Han Wencai's abdomen. Seeing that he was so painful that he called his mother, he pointed the gun at him and said, "Make a little more noise and I will kill you."

"Your boss asked you to find a way to get in the car. You must be carrying a weapon, right?" Xie Tian kicked again and asked.

"Take it with me..." Han Wencai didn't care about the pain and hurriedly said, "It's in my waist."

Xie Tian reached out and pulled out a Type 54 pistol from his waist, and then inserted it into his belt.

Song Hui once again ordered everyone to gather together, squat on the ground with his head in his arms, and together with the at a loss of Han Wenxuan, the situation was firmly in his hands. Xie Tian asked Han Wen at this time and said, "How many people do you have in total?"

"That's all..." Han Wencai said with difficulty.

"That's all?" Xie Tian said angrily: "If I ask a different answer from others, I will break your leg first!"

Han Wencai hurriedly changed his words: "There are still more! There are more than a dozen in the village, except for a few brothers, all other women."

Liu Mu, who was standing beside him, stepped forward and stomped on Han Wencai's right leg. Xie Tian could even clearly hear the sound of bone fracture. Then, Liu Mu asked viciously: "How many people in the village, how many weapons, how many supplies are there, where did the women come from? Explain them clearly at one time!"

Liu Mu was so scared that Han Wencai was so scared that he pissed his pants. He hurriedly said, "There are four brothers, no guns, only knives, hundreds of kilograms of food and some other supplies. The women all snatched it. Not to mention Li Xiaohe, there are eight in the village."

"Who is Li Xiaohe?"

Han Wencai struggled to point to the girl he had introduced before, saying, "She is Li Xiaohe."

Immediately, Xie Tian and the others learned all the situation here from Han Wencai. Even though Xie Tian and the others had experienced so much in the end of the world, they were still shocked by the actions of these scumbags.

The leader of the brother Qiang is named Du Qiang. He used to be from a small city in the south... The boss was quite powerful in the local area. When he first fled, he took some surviving brothers and some weapons to kill and loot all the way, and then he lived to Xiaoying Village. Han Wencai was also one of his brothers.

Previously, a unit had been stationed in Xiaoying Village for a period of time and completely eliminated the zombies here. Since this was the only way to take the path north, and the road passed directly from the center of Xiaoying Village, the troops originally wanted to build a small safety zone here as a supply station and destination for refugees to go north. However, due to orders from superiors, all troops were transferred to the north, so Xiaoying Village became a vacuum zone without zombies.

When Du Qiang brought more than a dozen younger brothers to Xiaoying Village, nearly a hundred refugees had temporarily settled here in Xiaoying Village. Du Qiang relied on his large number of people and weapons to become a tyrant in the village. Gradually, everyone in the village had to obey him, otherwise they might be killed and thrown into the river.

Although weapons in the end of the world are no longer regulated, they are even more difficult to find in the environment where food is difficult to find. Refugees without guns cannot resist and cannot bear this oppression, so they all fled Xiaoying Village one after another. Du Qiang and his men stayed here, constantly plundering and looting the fugitive teams passing by. Similar to today's tricks of luring and killing have lasted for nearly a month.

According to Han Wencai's account, at least twenty people were killed by Du Qiang during this period. Together, there were more than fifty people killed in total. Moreover, during the repeated robberies, all women of good looks were taken into the village and imprisoned, becoming a toy for Du Qiang and his younger brothers.

Du Qiang knew that he had left his sins here. If the fleeing refugees arrived at the safe zone, they would definitely tell the People's Liberation Army about their affairs. Therefore, he was reluctant to go to the safe zone controlled by the troops, so he decided to continue looting here until he saved up enough supplies and then took his subordinates directly to Yanjing. After all, there were nearly two thousand kilometers from here to Yanjing. In this era when there was no normal communication, he would no longer have to worry about his previous actions being exposed when he arrived in Yanjing.

Xie Tian didn't expect that there was such a sinful bully. He was extremely angry. These people thought that the state machine had stopped operating in the south and did whatever they wanted and survived by killing humans. This was something that he didn't dare to think about in peaceful times. Unexpectedly, it was a bloody fact before his eyes.

Song Hui was also angry and wanted to shoot Du Qiang to eliminate the harm to the people on the spot, but Xie Tian stopped him. Xie Tian looked around the group of people with a gloomy face and said extremely coldly: "It's too cheap to shoot. I'll deal with them well when dawn!"

Song Hui quickly divided the work of everyone. He, Liu Mu and Ma Jicheng were guarding the group of people below. Zhu Jinxi was carrying the 95-1 assault rifle and stood on the roof of the truck. The headlights were all turned on and no one was allowed to move. Then, he said to Xie Tian: "The situation here is a bit bloody. Let Miss Zhao take a rest on the eighth wheel first."

Xie Tian nodded, pulled Zhao Ziye, who was a little lost, and said, "You go to the truck to rest first. There is a Simmons mattress there, so you and Yufei have a good sleep."

Zhao Ziye followed Xie Tian and obediently let Xie Tian take her to the back eighth round. Xie Tian opened the welded iron door on the back bucket and pulled Zhao Ziye into it. Then, Xie Tian opened the door of the cab and looked at Xie Yufei who had been curled up on the sleeper and asked, "Yufei, are you okay?"

Xie Yufei shook her head and said lightly: "I'm used to it. We have met such evil people before. Those people even killed two of my relatives in person, but their benefactors killed them all. From that moment on, I realized that blindly being afraid is useless. I must make myself stronger. I am a woman, and there may not be much room for strength, but at least I must make my heart stronger first!"

Xie Tian looked at her with appreciation and said, "Thanks to you just now, your horn was too timely. They were distracted and they could easily reverse the whole situation."

Xie Yufei smiled shyly and said, "I have been resting on the sleeper before. When I heard something wrong outside, I curled up behind the driver's seat. In addition, it was dark, and they didn't see me and thought there was no one else in the car."

Xie Tian nodded and said, "I won't set out again tonight. You can go back and take a break with Xiaoye. She is much more vulnerable than you. Please help me take care of her."

Xie Yufei nodded and agreed, got up and climbed up the rear dou of the rear eighth round. Xie Tian took out the two large three-ring locks he had found in the mine before, handed them to Xie Yufei, and said, "You guys go to bed. If you feel uneasy, lock the iron door from the inside and I will help you cover all the tarpaulins."

Xie Tian did this just to add a sense of security to the two women. When he was young, he was afraid of the dark and believed in the legend of ghosts and gods. When he was sleeping, he locked the door and kept himself in the quilt, and he would feel much more at ease.

Xie Yufei nodded gently, Zhao Ziye sat on the Simmons mattress and looked up at Xie Tian. He wanted to say something but didn't say it in the end. Xie Tian crawled out and closed the door, covered all the tarp tightly. Then he jumped to the top of the cab in three or two steps and lit a cigarette for Zhu Jinxi, who was on guard with a gun.

"It seems like I have to stay up all night." Zhu Jinxi sighed helplessly, took a sip of cigarettes, and looked depressed.
