Chapter 83 Age is not a get-out-of-jail-free card!
"My dad was the vice president, but he's dead... I didn't do anything, I'm just a child!"
He cried as he crawled toward Qin Yue, who seemed the most soft-hearted, reaching out his chubby little hands to grab her trouser leg.
Qin Yue paused slightly in her hand holding the battle sword.
In that instant, her heart, which was enveloped by military discipline and killing, softened for a moment.
After all, a soldier's duty is to protect the country, and wielding a knife against an unarmed child crossed her bottom line.
"Lu Sheng..."
Qin Yue turned her head to look at Lu Sheng, her eyes filled with questioning and pleading, "He's just a child, and he doesn't have any spiritual energy fluctuations. Let him go."
Lin Hu also said sympathetically, "Yeah, this kid doesn't even look as tall as my leg. Let him fend for himself."
Lu Sheng stopped and looked down at the little boy kneeling on the ground, trembling.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
In that golden vision, he could clearly see that the seemingly harmless little boy was tightly gripping a miniature grenade with the pin pulled in his hand, hidden in his sleeve.
Moreover, what was hidden beneath those lowered eyelids was not fear.
Instead, it was a venomous hatred, as viperous as a snake.
"Trying to leave?"
Lu Sheng's lips curled into a playful smile, his voice unusually gentle.
"Okay."
The little boy suddenly looked up, his resentment instantly replaced by overwhelming joy. He kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, big brother! Thank you, big brother! I will definitely be a good person from now on!"
Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Lu Sheng wasn't the kind of cold-blooded killer after all.
"Go on, and remember to be reborn into a better family in your next life, so you don't take the wrong path."
Lu Sheng waved his hand, as if shooing away flies.
The little boy felt like he had been granted a pardon. He got up, turned around, and ran away, a sinister smile flashing in his eyes.
If we let him run into the alley and detonate the grenade to create chaos, he can survive!
When I grow up, I will definitely tear these three people to pieces!
however.
The moment he turned around and took his first step.
"puff!"
A very faint muffled thud.
A bullet compressed to its maximum extent pierced his skull with perfect accuracy, leaving a spray of red and white substance protruding from between his eyebrows.
The little boy's running motion suddenly froze.
"Gurgle..."
A miniature grenade rolled out of his loosened hand.
"boom!"
The grenade exploded dozens of meters away, the shockwave kicking up dust and shattering Qin Yue and Lin Hu's worldview.
Qin Yue stared wide-eyed at Lu Sheng in disbelief: "You...you promised to let him go, didn't you?"
"yes."
Lu Sheng looked at Qin Yue with an innocent expression.
"I told him to be reborn into a better family in his next life, what's wrong with that?"
Qin Yue: "..."
Lin Hu: "..."
Looking at the crater left by the exploding grenade, Qin Yue felt a chill run down her spine.
If she had actually softened and helped that child, she would probably be injured in the explosion by now.
"If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze."
Lu Sheng stepped over the small corpse, his voice chillingly indifferent.
"In the apocalypse, age is not a get-out-of-jail-free card."
"Anyone who takes up a weapon, whether old, woman, or child, is an enemy."
"To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself."
These words struck Qin Yue and Lin Hu like a heavy hammer blow.
Looking at Lu Sheng's tall and straight back, they realized for the first time that this young man's heart was stronger and colder than they had imagined.
This is a kind of rationality that is close to the Tao.
……
It was afternoon.
The entire Purple Mountain was dyed a dark red.
Of the dozen or so gangs that existed in the camp, all but the top-ranking one have become history.
Lu Sheng stood in front of the steps leading to the top of the mountain.
His storage space was already 90% full.
This is a fortune that would drive anyone crazy.
"The last one is the Triads."
Lu Sheng pointed to the most magnificent and sturdy building on the mountaintop, his voice trembling.
That used to be the Purple Mountain Observatory, but it has now been converted into the headquarters of the Triads.
Unlike the filth and disorder of the gangs below.
The place was eerily quiet.
There was no noise, no screams, and not even many guards in sight.
Only the heavy iron gate remained tightly shut, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
Lu Sheng looked up, his dragon eyes gleaming with golden light.
He could sense that several powerful auras were lurking behind that door.
"Let's go and confront this last cancer."
Lu Sheng stepped up the stairs.
Qin Yue and Lin Hu followed closely behind, their combat uniforms stained with blood, exuding a murderous aura.
Just as the three of them reached the gate, Lin Hu raised his halberd, preparing to forcefully break down the door as he had done before.
"Squeak—"
The heavy iron door slowly opened by itself.
A faint aroma of tea, accompanied by soft, light music, wafted out from inside the door.
This bizarre scene instantly put Qin Yue and Lin Hu on edge.
Inside the door was an extremely luxuriously decorated hall.
The room features European-style crystal chandeliers, genuine leather sofas, and even expensive carpets.
A man dressed in a well-tailored white suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and with his hair neatly combed, was sitting on the sofa, elegantly brewing Kung Fu tea.
He looked to be in his thirties, refined and cultured; if it weren't for the apocalypse, he would have looked like a university professor enjoying afternoon tea.
Behind him, on either side, stood a burly man dressed in black.
The aura emanating from those two individuals was as solid as a mountain, clearly indicating that they were both Level 5 Spirit Source Masters!
The man in the white suit showed no panic when he saw the three men covered in blood walk in.
He put down the purple clay teapot in his hand, raised his head, and revealed a warm and welcoming smile.
"You three, you've fought your way up here, it must have been tough."
His voice was warm and magnetic, without a trace of worldliness.
"I am Mr. Bai, the leader of the Triads."
Mr. Bai stood up, gave a perfectly gentlemanly bow, and pointed to the sofa opposite him.
"Fighting and killing are unseemly. Why don't we sit down, have a cup of tea, and... talk about serious matters?"
Lu Sheng looked at this man who seemed out of place in his surroundings, a hint of amusement flashing in his dragon eyes.
interesting.
This was probably the most pretentious villain he had ever seen in the apocalypse.
Without any ceremony, he walked straight over and sat down opposite Mr. Bai with an air of authority.
The Dragon Devouring Spear slammed heavily onto the ground.
"Bang!"
The expensive marble floor cracked instantly.
Lu Sheng grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth, shattering the facade of elegance.
"I won't drink the tea."
"I'm in a hurry. Do you want to save face for yourself, or do I want to help you save face?"
