Chapter 39: The Reversal of the Sky and the Earth
"Zizizizi..."Countless jets of water instantly shot out in all directions.The survivors surrounding the car were immediately hit head-on!"What the... Ahhh, it hurts!""My eyes, my eyes!"The pepper spray that Su Chen had prepared was no ordinary pepper spray.It was an upgraded version of the police-grade pepper spray.Not only was it more powerful, but it also lasted much longer.As soon as the survivors were sprayed, they immediately covered their faces and screamed in agony."D*mn it, Su Chen, you b*st*rd, using pepper spray!""You're not human!"The survivors, unable to open their eyes due to the pain, still cursed Su Chen.
Oh? You still dare to curse me?A cold gleam flashed in Su Chen's eyes, and he sneered as he pressed the button again."Zizizizi!"The pepper spray jets intensified, increasing several times in strength!Now the survivors didn't dare curse anymore, as the pepper spray in their mouths was just as unbearable!Covering their faces, they hurriedly retreated from the Norman Dyson, moving to a safer distance.Once they were far enough away, Wang Ye and the others began to curse Su Chen like mad again.But Su Chen, uninterested, stretched lazily and went back to his bed to lie down.After cursing for a while with no response from Su Chen, the survivors reluctantly returned to their camp.However, the spots where they had been sprayed were all red and sore, and the pain was unbearable.To ease the pain, they would need clean water or soapy water to wash it off—but in this high-temperature apocalypse, they barely had enough drinking water, let alone to wash their skin.So they could only endure the pain while muttering curses against Su Chen!
Seeing how miserable Wang Ye and the others were, Liu Ling'er couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.Serves you right for going after Su Chen!Unconsciously, her stance had completely shifted to support Su Chen!
At that moment, someone suddenly shouted,"My food! Who stole my food?""Where's mine? Who the hell took it?"The survivors slowly lifted their heads and looked to the side.It turned out that a few survivors, after returning to their spots, found that their things had been rummaged through, and their supplies had vanished without a trace!A middle-aged man named Fan Xin raised a watch and shouted,"Whose watch is this?"Wang Ye, forcing his bloodshot eyes to open, stared at the watch for a moment before shouting,"This is my Rolex! How the hell did it end up with you?""Your Rolex?"Fan Xin's rage exploded, and he pointed at Wang Ye while cursing,"You b*st*rd, hand over my food and water now!""What food and water? What are you talking about?"Wang Ye looked confused."Stop pretending!"Fan Xin lifted Wang Ye's Rolex and angrily said,"My food and water are gone, and yet your watch ends up in my bag.""It must have been you, you b*st*rd, who stole my supplies, and then you accidentally left the watch behind."The others looked at Wang Ye with suspicion.Fan Xin's supplies had gone missing, and Wang Ye's Rolex was found at the scene. It was all too suspicious!"Stop talking nonsense! I didn't take it!"Wang Ye's face turned red as he shot back."My supplies are also missing! Wang Ye, it must have been you!"Another survivor, who had also noticed their supplies were gone, stood up and accused Wang Ye.Wang Ye was nearly on the verge of collapse.He felt like he had just eaten one bowl of noodles, but now everyone was accusing him of eating two bowls!Seeing that Wang Ye refused to admit it, two groups of survivors immediately became furious and surrounded him.Luckily, Wang Ye's team was still united and didn't abandon him. They faced off with the other group.The tension in the air was palpable.Just as both sides were on the verge of fighting, a cold, mocking voice suddenly rang out,"Hey, what's going on here?"Abiao, along with his men, leisurely walked over.The survivors were first stunned, then a wary look appeared on their faces.No matter how many grudges they had, they still considered it an internal matter—it hadn't yet reached the point of life and death.But Abiao was different.This guy was really willing to kill!
"You don't need to be so tense."Abiao chuckled lightly,"I saw the whole commotion just now.""Actually, don't worry. I'm not some bloodthirsty maniac. I'm not interested in killing people all the time.""Wang Ge is dead, and everyone needs a leader.""As long as you're willing, I can be that leader!"When these words were spoken, the survivors couldn't help but sneer.They had been tricked by Abiao before. He had taken their supplies, and they had almost lost their lives.At this point, how could they trust Abiao again?Seemingly noticing their thoughts, Abiao slowly added,"As long as you hand over 10% of the supplies you find, I'll definitely be fair and just!""Piss off! Dream on!""We would rather die than let you be the leader again."The survivors immediately rejected Abiao's offer.Abiao smiled faintly and didn't say much more, leading his men to turn around and leave.After he left, the once-tense atmosphere among the survivors eased for a moment.They exchanged angry glares and went their separate ways.However, this conflict was far from over.Over the next few days, more survivors found their supplies stolen.Even a few who had gone out to search for supplies never returned.Suspicion, mistrust, and hatred filled the survivors.Seeing that the situation was spiraling out of control, Wang Ye reluctantly gathered Fan Xin and several other team leaders to discuss.But no matter how hard he tried to explain, the others refused to believe that the thefts had nothing to do with him!In the end, Wang Ye had no choice but to bring his team to pledge allegiance to Abiao.Abiao was very pleased and generously accepted them.After Wang Ye, more survivors from other teams, who had been suspected of stealing, were also forced to pledge allegiance to Abiao.Within a few days, the once loosely formed survivor alliances completely collapsed!
"Zhang Shao, you did well."Abiao sat in the car, with Xiao Mei in his arms, smiling as he praised."Brother Biao is too kind. This is all thanks to your excellent leadership."Zhang Mingyuan flattered with a face full of sycophancy.Since the apocalypse began, the positions of the two had reversed dramatically!Indeed, the thefts of supplies and the disappearances of survivors were all orchestrated by Abiao through Zhang Mingyuan.His goal was simple: to create division among the survivors and prevent them from staying united!
"Brother Biao, why do we need to go through all this trouble? Why don't we just let them fight among themselves?"Xiao Mei, leaning on Abiao's shoulder, asked in a soft, sweet voice.
