33: Chapter 33 Life and death are decided, blood debts must be repaid in blood!
At the same time, Jiang Wanwan also sent a private message:
【 ID 07-01 Jiang Wanwan: Little Lin, the elite zombie has been lured away. There was intense fighting outside the door at the beginning, and so many people died! 】
"Keep an eye on the situation over there; I still have things to deal with here!"
【 ID 07-01 Jiang Wanwan: Received, Captain Little Lin! ( ๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ 】
Closing the private message interface.
Accompanying a "creak", the door of a nearby room was cautiously pushed open.
Jiang Xun brought his teammates and walked out trembling from inside.
Their faces were as pale as paper, their eyes darting around. They didn't dare to look at the corpses on the ground, let alone look directly at Lin Xiao; they just kept their heads down.
Jiang Xun, in particular, kowtowed immediately and, with a trembling voice, hurriedly tried to distance himself from the situation.
"Lin, Brother Lin, we aren't with Lu Yu; he forced us to take his side!"
The teammates behind him also loudly echoed:
"Yes, yes, we didn't do anything, really!"
"Brother Lin is mighty! We have long found Lu Yu an eyesore!"
"Brother Lin, Boss Lin, we just wanted to make a living..."
...
"You don't know the full story, Big Boss!" Jiang Xun continued to wail, "Lu Yu wanted us to hand over all our resources for equal distribution. If we didn't agree, our fate would be the same as Chen Pingan's..."
"All your resources?"
Lin Xiao looked at the corpses slowly sinking into the floor, "There isn't much on those two, is there?"
Jiang Xun realized what he meant and immediately crawled forward: "There is, there is!"
He took the initiative to take out a masonry hammer; this was the weapon of that kid, Yue Feng.
"I saw you didn't pick it up after throwing it on the ground, so I specially kept it safe for you."
"And these materials, I collected them all..."
Lin Xiao didn't respond, just coldly swept a glance at them.
These fence-sitters weren't worth wasting any words on.
Just then, a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps came from behind.
After learning the news of Lu Yu's death, Fang Yuan brought the dozen or so surviving passengers from Carriage 5 and rushed over.
They were all bruised and battered, with injuries on their bodies.
Fang Yuan, in particular, was more severely injured, and one of his legs was already limping.
"Brother Lin!"
Fang Yuan saw the disappearing corpses and Jiang Xun's group kneeling on the ground.
First joy, then tears filled his eyes; he immediately threw himself at Lin Xiao's feet and kowtowed.
"Brother Lin, great kindness cannot be repaid with words. If you ever need me in the future, just say the word, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
He looked up, and when he looked at Jiang Xun again, his eyes were burning with rage.
"Get up first!"
Lin Xiao signaled for Fang Yuan to get up, then looked at Jiang Xun: "Did Lu Yu share the promised resources with you later?"
Jiang Xun immediately shook his head: "He said he would distribute them to us after all 7 carriages were under control."
He paused, then added: "We were forced into it; if we didn't obey, it would be certain death."
Hearing this, Fang Yuan went up and slapped him.
"What kind of bullshit 'forced into it'? When you were killing our passengers in Carriage 5 and robbing our supplies, you were the loudest!"
Lin Xiao didn't comment on this, but returned the large gardening shears to Fang Yuan.
He asked: "Where is Chen Pingan?"
"I heard he was locked in the restroom of Carriage 2. I sent him a private message but got no reply. I'm afraid..." Fang Yuan didn't dare to continue.
Lin Xiao nodded and strode towards the connecting passage of Carriage 2.
"Brother Lin, how should we deal with these people?" Fang Yuan asked tentatively, suppressing his grief.
"Do as you please."
Lin Xiao waved his hand and continued walking forward.
Fang Yuan let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Then, he looked at Jiang Xun and the others again.
"Brother Yuan, let's talk this over. It was all a misunderstanding before!" Jiang Xun, seeing the situation was bad, begged desperately, "Brother Lin, it was all a misunderstanding..."
"Carriage 5, over a dozen human lives, and you're telling me it's a misunderstanding?"
Fang Yuan picked up the gardening shears, and several people behind him rushed forward, pinning Jiang Xun and the others down firmly.
Ever since entering this rotten, bizarre world, even when facing the biggest conflicts, Fang Yuan had never turned his weapons on his own countrymen.
But this time...
Fang Yuan's pale lips trembled, and tears welled up in his eyes.
He roared, and his arm exerted sudden force.
Jiang Xun and his teammates were decapitated one after another.
Stepping over the shrill screams, Lin Xiao quickly arrived at the restroom of Carriage 2.
This place had already become someone else's territory.
The prompt showed that the captain was already dead, but the sliding door was still in a locked state.
Lin Xiao didn't hesitate, swung his axe, and smashed it.
After two or three axe blows, the wooden door was directly busted open, and broken wood chips flew everywhere.
Inside the restroom was the dying Chen Pingan.
His face had several shocking wounds, his left arm had been severed, and he was currently in a coma due to excessive blood loss.
This kid reacted quickly and had first-class self-rescue awareness.
After his arm was severed, he immediately tore a strip of cloth from his clothes and tied it tightly around the stump to stop the bleeding.
Otherwise, he would already be a corpse by now.
On the other side, Fang Yuan rushed over with a scent of blood.
"He's dying."
Lin Xiao turned sideways, looking at the people who had rushed over, his tone indifferent.
"Chen, Chen Pingan..."
Fang Yuan looked at the scene in the restroom, stunned at first, then lunged forward.
With clumsy hands, he didn't know whether to help him up or check his wounds first.
A young man in his twenties knelt on the ground and cried, unable to stop himself from muttering about their experiences.
Fang Yuan and Chen Pingan had known each other since they were little, and they were extremely close.
After graduating from university, they both came to Fog City to work, full of dreams.
As a result, the company went bankrupt.
One became a security guard, and the other started delivering food.
After three years of struggling outside, the two had agreed to go home together for the New Year this year, and then thought about doing some small business together in their small county town.
But who would have thought...
Fang Yuan wiped away his tears, turned around, and knelt before Lin Xiao.
"Brother Lin, you are so powerful, you must have a way to save him,"
Lin Xiao slowly squatted down and looked at Fang Yuan: "I can save him."
As he spoke, he held up two fingers, "Two conditions. First, from the day he wakes up, 30% of all stardust obtained by everyone in Carriage 5 will be handed over to me. Second, if he survives, his life is mine."
"If you agree, I'll give it a try; if you don't, you can give him a quick release now!"
Hearing this, the passengers from Carriage 05 standing behind Lin Xiao hesitated.
Fang Yuan punched the wall fiercely and said angrily:
"If it weren't for Anzi, we would still be hiding in our rooms, not daring to come out!"
"Have you all forgotten who risked danger to clear the zombies at your door?"
"Who let you have the crippled zombies, so you could have stardust to buy supplies, have equipment to wear, and weapons to use?"
...
After a few seconds of silence, a voice sounded from behind: "I agree!"
Immediately after, there were echoing responses one after another:
"I agree too!"
"I have no objection!"
...
As for how to save Chen Pingan.
Lin Xiao actually had many ways, the simplest being a medical capsule.
Medical supplies were rare at this stage, but not non-existent.
Lu Yu had eaten one earlier.
Moreover, Lin Xiao still had a mysterious shop in his hands that could refresh special supplies.
If physical stat potions could be refreshed, capsules were even less of a problem.
As for why he wanted to save him.
Chen Pingan was the leader of Carriage 5.
If he lived, it was equivalent to taking over a pre-formed and highly loyal team with minimal cost.
This was much more cost-effective than cultivating one from scratch.
If he died, it just verified the cruelty of the apocalypse.
For Lin Xiao, there was no loss.
While thinking, Fang Yuan and the others carefully lifted Chen Pingan and brought him back to Carriage 5.
The surviving passengers began to silently clean up the aftermath while resisting a new round of refreshed zombies.
As a carriage that had experienced three rounds of disasters and had always been led by Chen Pingan.
The vital force preserved in Carriage 5 was originally the most complete on the entire train.
Ten rooms, forty people at full capacity.
Such an organization was unique on the whole train.
However, after that conflict just now, twelve people died on the spot, and ten were seriously injured.
Those who fell were almost all the strongest main members of the carriage.
After settling Chen Pingan, Lin Xiao was about to leave.
"Brother Lin... Brother Lin!" Fang Yuan followed him out and asked tentatively, "Do you have any food there?"
"Chen Pingan's condition was already poor, and he suffered such a serious injury..."
As he spoke, he quickly explained: "Of course, I won't take it for free. I can exchange it for stardust or materials!"
"Noon." Lin Xiao's voice was not loud, but exceptionally clear, "After noon, come find me to get food."
After saying this, he turned and left the room.
Fang Yuan reached out to call Lin Xiao again.
But after organizing his words for a long time, even though he had many words of thanks he wanted to say, he eventually just silently said, "Thank you!"
The tall, straight figure carrying the axe gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor of Carriage 5.
