Although it was not yet twelve o’clock, it could clearly no longer be called early morning.
The breeze had lost the coolness it had when they had just woken up, leaving only the damp and cold characteristics of the southern winter.
Everyone had returned to the residence of Chen Shu’s squad, gathered around the coffee table in the living room to discuss the matter of taking down the camp.
Due to Ren Anhua’s appearance, they quickly reached a consensus on the plan.
That was to go all out.
Ren Anhua demonstrated her ability to them in a very violent way.
She used a watermelon knife to instantly chop off one of Tang Yunxuan’s hands, and then restored it to its original state before the child even had time to feel the pain.
Tang Yunxuan didn’t even realize what had happened before he found that his sleeve was suddenly missing a section.
Then a warm, gurgling bloody arm was picked up by Ren Anhua, who described the effect of her ability.
Her movements were very fast, and she didn’t let this innocent young man suffer any unnecessary pain, but it clearly gave him a great shock.
After all, not everyone could hold their own bloody arm with a calm and somewhat reluctant expression like Ren Anhua.
Tang Yunxuan was very depressed in his heart.
Didn’t he just call this guy a little loli when they met?
Not only did she come to his room when he was having his own fun, but she was now using him as a demonstration.
Wasn’t this grudge a bit too big?
Ren Anhua didn’t care about these things anymore.
She just felt that this person was very easy to cut.
In fact, she was originally prepared to cut off a head directly and then quickly regenerate a body for him.
This would obviously be much more shocking, definitely very cool, enough to show off to the whole audience.
However, since there were still some female comrades present, she was ultimately a little more tactful.
“Okay, since we have this ability, then we don’t have to worry about being killed.”
Chen Shu finally agreed to that completely brainless plan, a plan that was too much of a compliment to be described with the word “plan”.
“Then the time to launch the attack, Ren Xiaoan, you stop for a moment.
I know what you are going to say, but I am not ready to go now.”
Chen Shu thought for a while, and finally decided to say his idea.
“I am going to leave at night, for two reasons.
First, they will definitely be less prepared at night, while we can be fully prepared.
Even with Ren Xiaoan, there is no need to object to making the enemy easier to deal with, right?”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“Second, I’m not going back.
Everyone, pack your things.
I can’t fit seven people in one off-road vehicle, so it’s better to find another car.”
“What! We’re not coming back?”
Tang Yunxuan was very surprised by Chen Shu’s decision.
In his mind, the Mutual Aid Society seemed to have become a “home” in some sense.
In fact, it was the same for Chen Shu.
He had thought that this departure would not be much different from a resource collection trip, but he did not expect that this departure had been designated as a final farewell.
“Yes, we are not coming back.
I… am a little tired.”
Chen Shu pondered for a while, and finally gave this answer.
Ren Anhua was very satisfied with this.
Chen Shu was not completely unchanged.
At least he was no longer as pedantic as he was in the past.
This matter had also brought some changes to his thinking, such as the man in gray who was still hanging on the second floor of the Children’s Palace, and for example, he regarded this departure as a final farewell.
And even if he changed, he still maintained his inner persistence, and he did not lose the kindness in his heart.
He was a rational and clear-headed man, and he did not regard kindness as his burden.
More accurately, he did not blame his daughter’s death on his kindness.
This was very rare for a person, especially for a man who loved his daughter deeply.
He had not lost his reason.
This did not mean that he did not love his daughter.
He loved her very much.
This love was also a part of his brilliant humanity, so that he would not lose his inner self.
Everything in the world has a root.
The root of good deeds is good, and the root of evil deeds is evil.
Chen Yi’s death was caused by Cao Nengzhi’s evil.
His evil was not born of Chen Shu’s kindness, nor was it moved by Chen Shu’s kindness.
His evil was just wantonly displayed in this world.
If Chen Yi’s death was attributed to Chen Shu’s good deeds, it was because Chen Shu’s good deeds led to Cao Nengzhi killing Chen Yi.
To say that without Chen Shu’s kindness, Chen Yi would not have died, this was too far-fetched.
Because without Cao Nengzhi’s evil, Chen Yi would not have died.
The Chen father and daughter were just doing the right thing, living according to their own beliefs.
No matter what, people would always die because of some unexpected factors.
This was the case even in a peaceful and prosperous world, let alone in this post-apocalyptic world where bandits were rampant.
If one encountered death or other disasters, and then attributed all the blame to oneself, and even doubted one’s own beliefs, that would be too self-abusive.
No matter what, one should look at things dialectically.
Chen Shu saw it very clearly.
He was not the mistake, Cao Nengzhi was the mistake, and they were the ones who really needed to be eradicated.
Those evil people were the real mistake, and they needed to be eliminated! What this world did not need was them, not the kindness that they despised and ridiculed!
Chen Shu affirmed himself in his heart.
Now, he had firmed up his good deeds, and punishing evil was promoting good.
He should go and kill more people like Cao Nengzhi.
Killing them was a very great kindness.
Because killing them was indirectly saving many people.
What Chen Shu did not know was that his idea coincided with Shi Mu’s.
He was just looking forward in his heart, looking forward to killing more evil people in the future.
Cao Nengzhi was just the first, and there would be many more to come, such as that Ren Anhua.
“By the way, now I have to tell you, don’t call me Ren Xiaoan anymore, my real name is Ren Anhua.”
The corner of the table on Chen Shu’s side suddenly broke.
“What!?”
Except for Shi Mu, everyone in the room stared at Ren Anhua with extreme astonishment.
Speaking of which, in order to hide her identity and her ability these few days, she had always told people that her name was Ren Xiaoan.
And she had had less contact with Chen Shu’s team these few days, so there were even fewer opportunities to call her name.
It was only when Chen Shu said the words “Ren Xiaoan” just now that she realized that strong sense of incongruity.
Anyway, there was nothing to hide now.
That imposter was about to be killed by her, so it was time to tell them something.
“I am Ren Anhua, but not the Ren Anhua in the industrial zone. That one is an imposter, and maybe… still a subordinate I was originally going to kill.
In short, I am Ren Anhua, the Ren Anhua from the eastern suburbs of Pingding County, the real leader of the survivor camp, who has become like this due to some accident.”
“But I am indeed the leader of the survivor camp.
Of course, I am not talking about the one in the industrial zone.
The real survivor camp is in the eastern suburbs.
Those people were brought up by me, and they all loved… me.”
As she spoke, Ren Anhua suddenly felt a little lonely.
The leader of the survivor camp?
She used to be, but it was hard to say now.
When she thought that the imposter was still the leader of the “survivor camp,” she was very angry.
“Anyway, don’t call that criminal group ‘survivor camp’ anymore, especially don’t call their leader ‘Ren Anhua’.
That imposter is definitely not called Ren Anhua.
You can call him, um… anyway, he’s going to die, so just call him Er Gou.”
“As for me, you can call me Ren Anhua, or Brother Anhua, both are fine.”
The amount of information Ren Anhua gave them was too much for them to accept.
Especially Chen Shu, he seemed to have suffered a huge blow.
“But Xiaoan…”
Chen Shu looked embarrassed.
“Call me Brother Anhua!”
Due to the influence of the past, Ren Anhua was now quite persistent with her name.
If she needed to pretend for some necessary deception, she would not say anything, but if she was called by some strange name on unnecessary occasions, she would be angry.
For example, now, the powerful ability fluctuation once again pressed on Chen Shu’s body.
He no longer looked embarrassed, he looked ashen.
“An… Brother Anhua.”
Chen Shu was a little depressed.
He was a man in his thirties.
If this pink hair was not lying, then her self-introduction was twenty-five years old, so why did he have to call her brother?
But he couldn’t refute anything.
After all, this little pink hair’s ability fluctuation suppression was too uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that it made him regret becoming an ability user.
If any high-level ability user came and did this to him, then it would be better not to be an ability user.
At least ordinary people could be more normal.
But he actually didn’t need to worry too much about these things.
After all, there were only a handful of fourth-tier ability users in the world today.
If the level gap was not too big, it would not produce such a strong sense of suppression.
A full-power ability fluctuation of only one tier would not bring any uncomfortable feeling to people.
After all, the ability fluctuation was just something used to identify the strength of the ability, not a means to suppress the enemy or attack.
Using the ability fluctuation to suppress others was like a Barrett using sound to shock others’ ears.
The sound of a sniper rifle was certainly loud and could shock people, but its main damage was not the gunshot, but the bullet.
“Hmm, very good.”
Ren Anhua looked at the submissive Chen Shu and nodded with satisfaction.
Since Chen Shu had agreed, then the others had nothing more to say.
“There is one more thing, that is, the attack at night… can it be set after ten o’clock?”
“Of course, no problem.
I didn’t specify a time in the first place, but why ten o’clock?”
Chen Shu paused, his chest still feeling a little stuffy.
“This is of course… of course, it’s completely dark at ten o’clock, and everyone will definitely be asleep.
Think about it, don’t we want to have an advantage? We must wait for everyone to sleep, and then we will launch a surprise attack.
This is called an advantage.”
“Hmm, you’re right.
Then we’ll set off at nine-thirty, go and ambush first, and then attack at ten o’clock at night!”
“We’ll set off at ten-thirty at night!”
Ren Anhua was a little angry.
“Will it be too late?”
“No!”
“But…”
“No buts! I’m the main C, listen to me!”
Ren Anhua felt that Chen Shu was too long-winded.
Chen Shu was scared.
He was a little afraid that Ren Anhua would use her ability to suppress him again.
In the end, everyone finally and harmoniously determined the action time of this plan.
Everyone was very relaxed, only Tang Yunxuan looked depressed and was holding his severed hand and measuring it on his own arm.
“By the way, Tang Yunxuan.”
“Uh, yes!”
Ren Anhua’s aura was a little different today, and Tang Yunxuan’s attitude towards her had inexplicably changed.
“Remember to bring your tablet.”
“Uh, but…”
Of course, he would bring his tablet.
Those shameful little videos were his treasures in this apocalypse.
There were several years of girls hidden in them, how could he forget.
The problem was why Ren Anhua had to specifically emphasize this… He suddenly remembered that Ren Anhua had suddenly checked his room that day and watched those little videos with great interest.
Could it be that he also…
“No buts!”
Tang Yunxuan added a sentence to himself.
“Hmm, very good.”
After leaving such an affirmation, this leader of the eastern suburbs left.
