Chapter One Hundred and Eleven: Intrigue and Schemes

“I can’t do it!”

At that moment, the man blurted it out while trembling all over.

“How could I possibly fight those zombies? If anyone’s fighting them, it should be you!”

“Bastard!”

At once, Hu Sanhan and the others landed several heavy punches squarely on his face.

“When you want help, you act like the whole world belongs to you. When you don’t, you think people are just there for you to insult. You’re two-faced to the extreme!”

After Lu Kai cursed him harshly, contempt filled his eyes.

Only then did the man realize he had become the target of everyone’s hostility. He gave a strained smile and said, “Everyone, calm down. I only misspoke just now.”

“Misspoke?”

After hearing such ridiculous words, everyone turned their eyes away. “Don’t you think that makes it even harder for anyone to believe you?”

Everyone’s lips were trembling. What the Sicilian was saying was indeed laughable, and if this dragged on any longer, things might end badly.

Swallowing hard, the man dropped to his knees before Chen Yi, only to be kicked aside by Chen Yi at once.

“I’ve always disdained people who beg of their own accord. You can kneel to me today, and tomorrow you can do the same to someone else who offers you a way out. So why would I ever show you mercy?”

Seeing that Chen Yi had no intention of yielding, the man finally stood up in anger.

“Since you’re so impossible to reason with, then there’s nothing more to say between us. I’ll fight you to the end!”

“Fine!”

Seeing that he still dared to act this way, Chen Yi swiftly raised the blade in his hand.

At that sight, panic began to spread through the man.

He could tell that Chen Yi was not joking. This man truly intended to kill him.

Swallowing again, fear flooded his heart completely. Gone was his earlier arrogance and swagger; instead, he clenched his fists nervously and took a defensive stance.

Unfortunately, that sight only made Chen Yi loathe him more. In one motion, he kicked him flying.

A scorching pain shot through the man’s chest, and he cried out in agony.

“You’re deliberately using your martial arts to attack me! I won’t accept this!”

Even while he continued shouting, Chen Yi only shook his head lightly.

“You still don’t even know where you were wrong. In that case, I have nothing more to say to you.”

He tightened his grip again, and power burst forth to its limit.

Seeing the torrent of abilities surging all over Chen Yi’s body, the Sicilian man instantly fell to his knees.

“Please, spare me. I only lost my head for a moment, that’s why I acted like that.”

Fool.

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes at the man. He said nothing, but in the blink of an eye he severed half of the man’s hand.

As the severed hand dropped to the ground, the man let out a scream of pain.

“You... I already apologized. Why are you still doing this?”

“You think an apology means I have to accept it?”

Chen Yi’s voice was icy.

“I’m doing this today so you understand that nothing in this world can keep moving exactly as you please, always according to your own whims.”

The Sicilian man was utterly despairing now.

This was not someone he could afford to provoke. He was a true devil.

“You still want to keep fighting me?”

Seeing the hatred in the man’s eyes, Chen Yi knew he was still unconvinced.

That hatred had already reached its peak in those eyes. But a man without the strength to back it up could only howl in vain. It was nothing more than the display of helpless weakness, and Chen Yi did not take it seriously at all. He merely looked at the man coldly.

“I’m telling you this: if you keep forcing me in matters like this, then your life will not be guaranteed. I’m a very straightforward person. Right is right, wrong is wrong. I won’t leave room for a second answer.”

With that, Chen Yi turned to Hu Sanhan. “Keep a close eye on him. If he makes any move, deal with him yourself. I promise I won’t mind.”

Hu Sanhan nodded.

“Understood. I’ll do exactly as you say!”

With that, Hu Sanhan grabbed the man by his clothes and dragged him outside.

“Let go of me!”

The Sicilian man’s face flushed red, his eyes blazing with indignation.

“Do you know that some things are difficult for us too? We’re Sicilians, yet we have to bear so much blame. Do you think it’s easy for me?”

His words sounded full of grievance, but Hu Sanhan and the others only found them laughable.

Indeed, how could someone who had used every dirty trick in the book possibly understand that his so-called complaints were nothing but selfishness?

Chen Yi had no time to waste on the Sicilian man. After all, if one such selfish person had already turned out this way, who knew what would happen if the others gathered together? In such a moment, he absolutely could not gamble with the lives of the people around him. That was precisely why he had to be especially careful now.

Chen Yi fixed his determined gaze on the distance and watched the weather, thinking of the thing that might change everyone’s fate.

The red sky felt oppressive, and Chen Yi’s mood sank as well.

With every advancing wave of the zombie tide, there were fewer and fewer friends left beside him.

That meant that if he wanted to survive to the very end, luck would still account for half of it.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yi began planning how to use the zombie monkey to conduct a sweeping investigation of the surrounding area.

The zombie monkey also supported Chen Yi’s decision.

But it had its own troubles as well.

“Boss Chen Yi, I need you to do something for me.”

Chen Yi rarely saw the unruly monkey wear such an expression, and he smiled faintly.

“What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly looking so pitiful?”

“It’s not pitiful.”

The zombie monkey’s eyes held a trace of helplessness.

“It’s just that I found companions in the old forest who haven’t mutated, so I was hoping you would...”

“Wait!”

Chen Yi straightened instantly.

“Not mutated? There have already been so many zombie tides. Are there still animals that haven’t been infected?”

“Yes.”

The zombie monkey was equally baffled.

“We’ve gone to look many times. Some of our companions were eaten, but the monkey corpses after death didn’t seem affected. If it had been us, we’d already have become something neither monkey nor ghost.”

“Do you still remember where the forest is?”

Chen Yi asked.

The zombie monkey tilted its head and thought for a moment.

“It should be three kilometers outside our island. I saw it before when I was helping you scout everything.”

“Good. Then we’ll change course first and investigate this matter!”
