Chapter 24: A Foe from a Past Life, Effortlessly Conquered

Inside the spacious lobby of the police station, four heavily tattooed men were smoking and chatting idly.

"This apocalypse came at just the right time!"

"Indeed, this is our world now."

"That woman from yesterday was so unappreciative... but in the end, she still had to submit to Scarface's heroic marksmanship."

"A pity we played too hard yesterday and accidentally killed her, leaving us with nothing for today."

One of them, a man with a jagged scar across his face, let out a loud laugh. "Don't worry. Huang San sent me a message; he's grabbed three top-tier ones and will be back shortly. According to him, they are real gems!"

"Boss, are you serious?" the three underlings asked, their spirits immediately lifting.

Scarface looked arrogant and replied as if it were a matter of course, "When have I ever lied? The apocalypse is our paradise; we can pick any woman we want! Follow me, and I guarantee you'll all be living like kings."

Hearing this, the underlings nodded repeatedly, wearing fawning expressions. "Boss is wise and powerful. We'll definitely stick with you."

It turned out that after the apocalypse descended, most of the police officers in the station had turned into zombies, reducing their numbers by eighty percent. The scene was once chaotic. The criminals who had been held there, led by the scar-faced Xie Wendong, seized the opportunity to take the weapons, subdued the remaining officers, and occupied the station. As the apocalypse worsened and zombies ran rampant, causing the collapse of national order, these criminals went even further; they heartlessly executed all the police officers they had captured.

Xie Wendong, the gang leader, used the firearms from the station to establish an eight-man bandit group, making the police station their lair. They split into two teams, taking turns scavenging for supplies. One team was led by Xie Wendong, and the other by Huang Wenlong. Whenever they encountered survivors, they would kill the men and either trick or force the women back to their lair for their own depraved entertainment.

As they chatted, the four bandits who had been out returned, fully loaded with backpacks and weapons.

"Boss, we're back." The leader of the group, a man with dyed yellow hair and a handsome face, was Huang Wenlong. They were escorting one man and two women. The man wore gold-rimmed glasses and had messy hair, looking every bit the refined scoundrel.

The two women included a young, voluptuous married woman and a cute, pitiable teenage girl. All three were terrified, but with their hands bound by duct tape and their mouths gagged, they could not speak.

Xie Wendong frowned slightly, looking displeased. "Didn't I say to kill the men?"

Huang Wenlong gave a lewd grin. "Boss, you know how I am... Besides, this man has a special identity; he's not just the husband of that woman, but also the older brother of the girl. With him around, everyone might have a bit more fun..."

Huang Wenlong chuckled, his expression wretched. The other underlings laughed in understanding.

Xie Wendong waved his hand helplessly. "Suit yourself." He then scanned the two women and nodded with satisfaction. "Get those two women a bath; they smell too much. And I'm taking the first turn—none of you are allowed to cut in!"

The underlings roared with laughter. "That's only natural, Boss, you go first." "Haha, the boss eats the meat, and we'll drink the soup."

As they joked, the two women were pushed into the bathroom, terrified. The man with the glasses remained, trembling with fear. Huang Wenlong walked over to him, his gaze intense.

Xie Wendong frowned slightly, saying with a hint of disgust, "Make it quick... and we don't leave loose ends. Once you're done, get rid of him immediately!"

"Don't worry, I'll make it quick," Huang Wenlong replied with a wicked smile. He reached out and tore the tape from the man’s mouth, then leaned forward, his hands reaching out...

The handsome man finally reacted, his face full of revulsion. "No! Get away... get away from me! Don't do this! My father is a bank president; I can give you a lot of money! Please, let me go!"

Huang Wenlong looked at him with disdain. "Look at the time—money is just waste paper now." The man struggled desperately...

No one knew that a pair of eyes was watching everything from the shadows. This was Ye Feng.

When Ye Feng approached the police station, he had just happened to run into the four-man group returning with their haul. Seeing their tattoos, weapons, and the captives, he immediately concluded that the prisoners had taken control. He had quietly followed them into the station and hid, observing from the dark.

When Ye Feng saw the people in the lobby, his eyes lit up with surprise. "Li Shihao, I never expected you to end up in such a situation... Haha, how interesting!"

Ye Feng recognized many of the people present. In his previous life, the handsome man being tied up was a leader of a small faction named Li Shihao, whose ability was releasing toxic mist. He also had a beautiful wife and a cute sister, both of whom were also "evolvers." As for the scar-faced Xie Wendong, he was also an evolver and a faction leader. Ye Feng did not recognize the yellow-haired Huang Wenlong; he had likely died early in the previous timeline.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng felt a surge of excitement. He never imagined that a small police station would gather so many of his old acquaintances. Ye Feng had grievances with both Li Shihao and Xie Wendong. He had once clashed with Li Shihao and been scarred permanently by his toxic mist, and he had been exploited by Xie Wendong’s team during a trade, forced to swallow his anger.

But times had changed. Ye Feng sneered. If he hadn't run into them, so be it. But since he had found them... he would leave no one alive.
