Chapter 39: Mining Area: Oppression and Resistance

Unexpectedly, they saw a few familiar faces, which were Kang Tianming’s subordinates.

These five or six people were surrounding a little girl on the ground. The girl looked to be only in her teens, her clothes were disheveled, her mouth was stuffed with rags, her face was full of tears, and the exposed arms were all bruised.

Without a doubt, they were taking pleasure in tormenting this girl, making the three of them all looked upset.

He Ze was the first to rush up, forcefully pushing the man standing in the middle, his eyes wide open, “Damn, scum, what the hell are you doing!”

This girl was about the same age as his students, and he was furious at the sight in front of him.

However, the man didn’t care at all, he pushed He Ze away with a backhand, glanced at them with slanted eyes, and said arrogantly, “Who are you guys, Mr. Kang doesn’t care about us, do you need to care?”

He was cursing with foul language, and looked at people through his nostrils.

Lin Mu looked around, this girl was bullied into the corner, but there was no one around to help, their behavior must not be the first time.

But the people here have already gotten used to it, or they have resigned themselves to their fate.

It’s only been a few days since the end of the world, and the cruel and shameless side of human beings has been infinitely magnified. Without the condemnation of morality and the restraint of law, they unabashedly show their ferocious and ugly faces.

And those ordinary people who have not mutated have become the lowest level of slavery, without dignity, without freedom, just living.

The girl was still whimpering, Lin Mu walked through a few people, helped the girl up, pulled up her ragged clothes, and covered her shoulders, “Where do you live, we will take you home.”

He was handsome and good-looking, and his voice was gentle. The girl wiped her tears and pointed in the direction of the broken tent with trembling fingers.

When those few people saw Lin Mu’s actions, they showed a look of disdain. Compared to He Ze’s shouting and yelling, Lin Mu’s disregard angered them even more.

A man in the crowd behind bent over and picked up a stone, his face fierce, and raised it to smash at Lin Mu.

With a “whoosh”, blood splattered. The black crystal hit the back of the man’s hand, and instantly exploded a piece, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the stone fell out of his hand.

“Ah——Damn, beat them up!”

The man screamed in pain, and the rest of the people immediately picked up stones and sticks and rushed towards Fu Jingmo.

Good, there are no mutants among these people.

He Ze had long been disgusted, and kicked out horizontally, instantly kicking a person out. He was not afraid to deal with some ordinary people.

Apart from his abilities, Fu Jingmo’s skills were second to none, and these people couldn’t even get close to him.

As if venting his anger, he didn’t even use his abilities. With a few punches and kicks, he knocked them to the ground. He shook his hand as if it was dirty, and sneered, “Can’t manage now?”

He Ze hatefully gave a kick to the people on the ground, “When I was fighting, you were still drinking milk!!”

There was a wail on the ground, and the noise was not small, the other side could not possibly not hear it.

In a few minutes, someone had already come over with a flashlight. It was the man in the black cloak following Kang Tianming, and besides him, there was also the night vision mutant – Wu Jin.

The black cloak was walking in front, and Wu Jin was following behind. It seemed that this person in the black cloak was more valued.

When they came to the front of the group, Wu Jin took a step forward, looked at the group as if watching a good show, and said, “Let’s go, Mr. Kang wants you to go over.”

Lin Mu frowned, they needed to settle this little girl first.

Fu Jingmo turned his head, sneered, and his eyes were like ink, “Mr. Kang? We don’t need him to say we naturally want to find him, but you send this girl back first, don’t let me see your people touch her again!”

His tone was stern, and he was not polite at all when he ordered people.

Wu Jin felt a little afraid in his heart when he saw him, and he didn’t want to waste time. His task was just to bring these people over, and the rest didn’t matter.

He glanced at the people lying on the ground, showing a look of disdain, “You guys, take this kid back, be quiet today.”

The people on the ground hummed and agreed, struggling to get up. Lin Mu was not at ease to hand the girl over to them, “Lead the way, we will go together.”

It was necessary to pass by the broken tent when they came, and Wu Jin didn’t say anything.

The group went back, Fu Jingmo walked a little slower, fell behind, and in the dim light, he lowered his voice, “Be careful later, follow me.”

Lin Mu nodded, he looked at the little girl next to him, the girl’s eyes finally found some color, she clung to Lin Mu’s sleeve, seeming to trust him.

“What’s your name?” Lin Mu asked her softly.

“Xiao… Xiao Yu.”

“Xiao Yu, where are your parents?”

“Dad, dad is already dead, mom also went to the house over there and was bullied by them.”

The little girl’s eyes were full of tears, her lips were trembling, but she still obediently answered Lin Mu, she knew, this brother is very good.

Lin Mu frowned, “Is your dad… turned into a zombie?”

The little girl shook her head, tears falling from her eyes in large drops.

“They wanted to bully me and my mom. And my dad was beaten to death to protect us. His lips turned black, and blood flowed from his eye sockets and ears… it was so scary.”

Her thin body couldn’t stop trembling. Dad didn’t turn into a monster, no.

It seems that her mother is the woman Lin Mu saw in the mine tunnel. Listening to the girl’s words, he suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. Compared to those zombies who are ignorant and unconscious, who can say that these people are not more terrifying and more insane?

Lin Mu didn’t ask the girl any more questions and walked forward in silence.

After a few minutes, they arrived in front of the girl’s tent. This was just a small area surrounded by ragged canvas. A woman was crying softly with her knees hugged.

Xiao Yu rawled into the tent, hugged the woman, and shouted, “Mom.”

The woman raised her face full of tear stains, and it was the woman who came out of Kang Chengdong’s room. She seemed to recognize Lin Mu and the others, and there was some daze on her face.

“Mom, these brothers saved me.” The girl spoke timidly.

Wu Jin didn’t want to watch the family drama here, and the smell here was really unpleasant.

“We’ve sent it all, let’s go, Mr. Kang is still waiting.”

Fu Jingmo gave him a cold glance, and Wu Jin snorted.

The black cloak didn’t linger, and walked towards the mine tunnel on his own. Wu Jin curled his lips and followed.

When they walked a few steps away, Lin Mu looked at them soothingly, “We will find a way to help you get out. As soon as there is a chance, you run, keep running to the outside of the bus and wait for us.”

“You, you can’t fight them… they, they…”

The woman shook her head desperately, as if she wanted to tell them something, but she was hesitant and dared not speak.

Lin Mu didn’t ask, and comforted, “Believe us, there are still safe zones in the country. Once we get out, we can take you to live there.”

Even if they hadn’t discussed it together, Lin Mu knew that neither He Ze nor Fu Jingmo would abandon these people.

The woman’s tears were full, and she silently watched Lin Mu and the others. 

There’s no point in saying more, Lin Mu just hopes they can think clearly. If a fight breaks out, they might find it hard to take care of these people, they still have to rely on themselves.

Without lingering any longer, Lin Mu stood up. He was actually quite nervous, he had killed zombies before, but this was the first time he was going to fight with people.

In the darkness, Fu Jingmo lightly held his hand, then quietly let go. Lin Mu looked at his back and suddenly felt reassured.

He stepped up to follow Fu Jingmo, and the three of them quickly walked towards the mine tunnel.

“Mumu, Brother Fu, let’s take them out.”

He Ze’s eyes were a bit red, and he tugged at Lin Mu’s sleeve.

Fu Jingmo naturally heard their words, he was a person from 113.

Even if he was carrying out some important secret missions, he didn’t consider himself a person overflowing with kindness, but when it hit him in the face, he couldn’t just let innocent people be oppressed like this.

The country will not abandon every citizen, even if times are tough, these people, they all have the right to live, they should not be abused by anyone.
