Ordinary People

The new Liao River was an artificial river built around a flood control project.

It flowed through the county, and besides fulfilling its flood control mission, it also irrigated the fertile land of Lifeng County.

A riverside road was built along it, winding forward like the river beside it, crawling on the land of Lifeng County, stretching endlessly toward the distant horizon.

Today, this riverside road welcomed a crazy guest.

A pickup truck sped along this road that accompanied Lifeng County’s mother river.

A purple figure stood on the pickup’s bed.

Cao Nengzhi’s green hair was a mess, but he was very satisfied with it.

He was a madman born with this apocalypse.

He wholeheartedly worshipped the destruction and ruin of this apocalypse, and even clumsily began to imitate that romance that represented crime, even though he was not the same as that person in either appearance or essence.

He just felt that instead of being a victim, it was better to be a perpetrator in advance.

What was wrong with being a perpetrator? He could now wantonly plunder the resources of the weak because he was a “strong man,” a person who had awakened his abilities in this apocalypse.

He stood in a position of initiative, and he could wantonly achieve everything he wanted.

Madness and destruction were his protective umbrella, placing him in a safe position.

In this position, he was omnipotent.

Just like today, he also planned to exercise the “strong man’s privilege” he had obtained in this apocalypse to have fun.

Chen Shu and Chen Yi were tied to this speeding pickup truck.

The pickup’s bed had been modified, with a steel frame welded to the tail, and people could be tied up and hung on it with thick ropes.

As long as they controlled one end of the thick rope, they could pull people up and down, or more accurately, drag those playthings on the rough ground.

Their bodies would gradually wear away and disappear in the speeding vehicle, smearing their flesh and blood on this highway where countless people had died tragically.

They were often dragged for a long time before they died, and this time was enough for Cao Nengzhi to obtain the highest pleasure, or… let their relatives feel the deepest pain.

This kind of pickup was jokingly called a “flesh trailer” by the people in the camp.

The iron frame at the tail of the pickup was tying the struggling Chen Yi, while Chen Shu was tied to the truck’s bed.

His calves were tied to the steel pipes specially welded in the truck’s bed, and his hands were tied behind his back.

This posture made him unable to get close to Chen Yi, and he, who had just woken up, could only watch his daughter struggle helplessly on the iron frame.

Even though Chen Yi was tied to the iron frame and unable to move, she stared at Cao Nengzhi with a fierce look, which made Cao Nengzhi very happy.

He was very much looking forward to this kind of look turning into pain and pleading.

This transformation was the essence of the entertainment.

If she was crying helplessly from the beginning, then it would be uninteresting.

The driver was called Xiao Luo, and he was Cao Nengzhi’s confidant.

He had played flesh trailer with Cao Nengzhi for countless times, and he was very clear about the process of this game.

Chen Shu’s awakening marked the beginning of the game.

Xiao Luo closed all the car windows, then turned the car’s music to the maximum.

The entire car was instantly filled with the harsh sound of heavy metal rock music.

He didn’t like this kind of music at first, because he thought it was too harsh and restless, and he could never appreciate it.

But after following Cao Nengzhi, he came to like this kind of music more and more, because they could isolate him from those painful screams.

This was something that other slightly gentler music couldn’t do.

“Gentleness is the deadliest personality in this apocalypse.”

The longer Xiao Luo followed Cao Nengzhi, the more he agreed with some of this man’s views.

In this world, even music had to be frenzied.

Whenever the dragging began, Xiao Luo would close the windows tightly, turn on this crazy music that pounded his eardrums, and isolate himself from the hell outside the car.

Cao Nengzhi looked at the awakened Chen Shu and kicked him hard in the face.

Then he stepped on his head on the iron cage behind him, making a loud bang.

A familiar roar from Chen Shu came from behind.

A rotten arm suddenly stretched out from the iron cage and hugged Chen Shu’s face.

“Ahhh!” Chen Shu, who suddenly realized something, screamed.

The instinct to survive made him struggle forward, leaving the range of the iron cage.

The tremor in his heart had not yet subsided, and the roar from behind was still continuing.

He instantly guessed what was in the iron cage behind him: a zombie.

He could only arch his back like a shrimp to stay away from the iron cage behind him and not be bitten by the zombies who had gone crazy after smelling the human scent.

Cao Nengzhi’s kick was to tell him this.

“Pfft hahaha!!!”

Cao Nengzhi looked at the burly man tied in front of him, as if he had seen the funniest thing in his life, and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hey, hero!” Cao Nengzhi’s tone was extremely sarcastic.

He looked at Chen Shu with a half-smile, bent over and played the role of a sycophantic lackey in front of this man tied to the car, and then extended a hand towards Chen Yi, gesturing for Chen Shu to look.

“Hey, Chen hero! Look, this is your daughter!” The sarcasm on Cao Nengzhi’s face was almost substantial.

“Let her go, if you have something, just come at me.” Cao Nengzhi’s kick was very fierce.

Chen Shu’s nose was bleeding, and his speech was so nasal that it was hard to distinguish.

When Cao Nengzhi heard this, it was as if he had heard the funniest joke in his life.

“Hahaha! You still say this to me, how cliche.
Don’t you know what our relationship is?” Cao Nengzhi’s face, which was laughing wildly just a second ago, suddenly became fierce, and he continued to whisper to Chen Shu.

“You all have to die, no one can live.”

Cao Nengzhi turned the handle with the hemp rope around it and instantly let Chen Yi down a long way.

Chen Yi’s shoes had been taken off in advance.

The girl’s delicate feet ran a few steps on the fast-moving cement ground.

But how could she outrun a speeding car? In less than a second, she was dragged on the ground, and her feet were instantly a bloody mess.

Chen Yi’s scream entered Chen Shu’s ears, as if a sharp knife was cutting his heart.

Cao Nengzhi was very satisfied.

He had applied his ability to both father and daughter: multiplied pain.

With this ability, he could play the game of flesh trailer to the extreme.

No one could stand the already cruel pain being multiplied several times.

Their screams were always extremely loud.

Cao Nengzhi happily stepped on Chen Shu’s foot, twisting it and grinding it on the truck bed.

Chen Shu had also been subjected to this ability.

He could see the muscles on Chen Shu’s body twitching from the pain.

Although this man didn’t make a sound, he knew that Chen Shu was experiencing a pain he had never felt before in his life.

Cao Nengzhi finally saw Chen Shu lean back as if he couldn’t stand it anymore, but behind him was a cage of crazy zombies.

The zombies frantically reached out to him, causing him to keep dodging, which Cao Nengzhi found very enjoyable.

“Not going to be a hero anymore? Go save your daughter!” Cao Nengzhi then almost shouted these words to Chen Shu.

“Do you know why it became like this? It’s all because you hindered me! You, an ordinary person with no abilities, want to be a hero! Do you see any other heroes coming to save you now? Chen hero!”

“It’s all your arrogance, your foolishness that led to this situation.
Listen to your daughter’s scream, is it pleasant, you idiot! Do you understand! It’s all because of your mistake! It’s you who killed your daughter!”

Cao Nengzhi slapped Chen Shu hard, and blood splattered.

“Not making a sound anymore? Realized your foolishness and can’t speak? Huh?” Cao Nengzhi continued to let down a long section of the hemp rope, and Chen Yi’s waist was also dragged on the rough ground.

He turned around and punched Chen Shu hard in the face.

“It’s all you, you overconfident thing, daring to hinder me! You can only hide from the zombies like a bug now! You can’t even protect yourself! And your daughter is going to die too!”
