Doomsday Roulette

This is the corpse dumping ground of the New District base.

Every day, the people of the base throw the dead here because this funnel-shaped mixing pool is built on a high platform and enclosed within a sturdy workshop, so there’s no need to worry about mutant life forms finding it, allowing for continuous dumping of corpses.

In the apocalypse, having a place to handle corpses is not surprising; however, Ye Zhongming didn’t expect there to be so many bodies here!

Even a rough estimate suggests that there are over two thousand corpses in this mixing pool!

How many people died in yesterday’s battle against the zombies? The New District base was just established a few days ago, and so many people have already perished?

This inevitably reminded Ye Zhongming of the survivors’ fear and hatred towards evolvers in the base; it seems there’s a reason for that.

Ye Zhongming placed several outdoor lamps around the workshop, illuminating the space. He surveyed the area and noticed an empty freshwater pool on one side, which would be quite suitable as a blood pool.

After dragging the two captured mutated cows beside the pool, he made a cut with the Edge of the Moon on their necks, and the strong, bloody stench immediately filled the air.

“What… what do you want to do?”

Yang Shilong, whose hands were bound, spoke with a trembling voice. Seeing the young man’s actions filled him with uncontrollable fear.

Yang Shilong initially thought he was lucky, from school to work, and then becoming an evolver, he had survived even under the terrifying knife light that night.

However, this feeling abruptly ceased today when he encountered this man, the one who had used that knife light that night.

With no ability to resist, Yang Shilong revealed everything he knew under pressure, including the gun, the car, and this corpse dumping ground, yet he felt that this person had no intention of letting him go.

Now, seeing him bleed these mutated animals into a pool, he became even more terrified, unsure if this was meant for him.

“I just learned a new technique.” Ye Zhongming was focused on estimating the blood amount; the blood pool needed for the basic puppet technique was about five hundred kilograms.

“You know, it’s new, so I’m not very skilled yet, therefore I need to practice.”

Ye Zhongming’s calm words carried no hint of emotion, but to Yang Shilong, they sounded like thunder, causing his body to tremble and his lips to turn slightly purple.

He didn’t know what this technique was, but in a place where there was a corpse pit on one side and a blood pool on the other, even a fool would know it was not anything good.

“Please, let me go! In the future, I’ll work for you, I’ll be loyal to you…” At that moment, Yang Shilong regretted not studying literature properly; he felt his vocabulary for expressing loyalty was so limited.

“Ask these cold and stinking corpses in the pit if they are willing to forgive you.”

Ye Zhongming discarded the two already dead mutated cows to the side; the blood pool was roughly established.

“It’s your turn.” Ye Zhongming’s smile appeared as a devilish grin to Yang Shilong. He screamed in terror, trying to escape with all his might, but in front of Ye Zhongming, who had undergone two-star evolution, all his struggles were in vain.

With all his limbs broken, he lay on the ground, crying and calling for his mother in a daze.

Ye Zhongming disdainfully clenched his fist.

The puppet technique needed a dying person; using Yang Shilong as material would allow this scoundrel to play out his last bit of heat.

Hmm?

Ye Zhongming’s fist did not fall; instead, he moved a bit and jumped onto the corpse pit.

He had just keenly detected a slight sound coming from here.

His gaze swept over the rotting and stinking corpses, searching for the source of the earlier sound.

Just a few seconds later, Ye Zhongming found it.

This ‘corpse’ was too conspicuous.

It was at the very top of the corpse pit, obviously recently thrown in, and completely naked. Although almost no part of her skin was intact, there was still a hint of fairness remaining, making her stand out among all the corpses.
