Looking at the determined girl in his arms, Chu Donglin sighed, a mix of relief and helplessness spreading across his face as he smiled.
"Foolish Girl, you've been deceived."
He lowered his gaze to Li Zheng, whose face was filled with terror, a faint smirk playing on his lips. "Did you really think there were any so-called innocents left in this camp?"
As Chu Donglin's words hung in the air, Li Zheng's expression froze, his body trembling involuntarily.
Liu Xiner noticed Li Zheng's unusual reaction and her previously furious and agitated emotions gradually calmed down.
"Brother-in-law, what is going on?"
"It's simple. Just like me, the people in this camp can no longer be considered human in a certain sense."
Holding the girl's hand, he led her to the balcony and pointed at the hellish scene unfolding in the square below, a mocking cold smile on his face.
"When I saw Li Zheng and his gang, I knew he was no good. A Survivor camp built on a group of thugs cannot possibly have a friendly or loving order."
"The reason I agreed to come here was not only to gather some food but also to see what kind of place he had turned this camp into. If there were still ordinary Survivors being oppressed and humiliated by him inside, I wouldn't mind rescuing them."
"But unfortunately, when I walked into this area, I realized that there were no beings left that could be called human."
"Humanity is defined by our sense of morality and shame; there are many things we must adhere to and cannot abandon."
"The people surviving in this area can no longer be considered human. They have transformed into filthy and disgusting beasts. They have discarded all humanity, forsaken conscience and shame, recklessly spreading their malice, having long since fallen into an irredeemable darkness."
With that, Chu Donglin pointed towards the square below, his expression indifferent.
"Look at this vast camp; out of over five hundred people, how many children are there? How many elderly?"
The girl stared blankly for a moment, instinctively searching among the frenzied crowd for signs of children and elders.
However, there was none.
She searched meticulously, back and forth for a long time, but all she could see were countless young men and women.
There were no elderly people, nor any children.
Such a huge commotion should have stirred the entire camp, yet the elderly and children who should have been present were nowhere to be seen.
This discovery left Liu Xiner feeling somewhat terrified, as she thought of a horrifying possibility...
"Yes, it's exactly as you think."
Chu Donglin coldly gazed at the frenzied revelry below, sneering. "Those burdens like the elderly and children, who are of little use, have already been driven away by the people in this camp. They refuse to accept those who can only consume food but cannot create value."
Liu Xiner found it hard to believe Chu Donglin's words.
She clenched her fists, trying to make one last struggle. "But... brother-in-law, it’s also possible... it’s possible that the elderly and children are hiding? Or... if this camp drives out the elderly and children, would their families agree?"
"Does it matter whether they agree or not?"
Chu Donglin looked down from his elevated position at the square below, coldly meeting Dai Yinzhi's gaze as he sat on the steps, sneering.
"The power in the camp is held by Li Zheng and his group. Even if those families do not agree, what can they do? They either get driven out along with their families or abandon their elderly and children to choose to stay and wallow with these Malicious People... Believe me, among those five hundred people down there, there are definitely not a few who would make such a choice."
"But... but if they really did that, why would they leave women in the camp? In terms of combat ability, those women surely can't compare to men, right?"
The girl tightened her fists, trying to make one last argument and effort.
However, Chu Donglin glanced at her and pointed at the seventeen women below who were being humiliated and abused by countless men, a mocking smile appearing on his face.
"Seeing all this, do you still not understand?"
"Why are there women left in the camp? Isn't it just for these men to satisfy their desires? Xing'er, haven't you noticed that all the remaining women in this camp are beautiful?"
"In such a large camp, how could all the women possibly be beautiful? What a coincidence that would be! Where have all the ugly women gone? You should know by now."
Chu Donglin turned around, looking at the girl's expression filled with shock and disbelief, shaking his head.
"Do you remember the man and woman we encountered when we first entered the area?"
The girl instinctively nodded at Chu Donglin's gaze.
"Those two were doing that kind of thing right out in the open, and Dai Yinzhi explained that they were a couple, and the husband just had an exhibitionist tendency, which is why they liked to do it in broad daylight... Do you remember that explanation?"
The girl nodded again.
"Did you find anything odd about it?"
The girl thought carefully for a moment, then suddenly her expression changed to one of realization.
"They... they didn't leave in the same direction!"
"Exactly. They left in different directions, which proves they didn't stay at the same place."
Chu Donglin raised a finger and shook it calmly. "But that's not all. Leaving in different directions could be explained by needing to leave for some reason temporarily, but they didn't leave together, which is illogical."
"If those two were really a couple, then after we caught them and Dai Yinzhi scolded them, they should have supported each other and left together."
"But they didn't. That man was scolded by Dai Yinzhi and immediately turned to run away without caring about the woman at all. And that woman showed no complaints about her so-called husband's callous behavior; instead, she fled in another direction..."
At this point, Chu Donglin sneered. "It was clear to me then that the women in this camp had become public tools for men to use at will, and the food that woman took with her was solid evidence."
"It's not mealtime now. Even if food is distributed on time in this camp, it wouldn't be possible for it to be given out this early. The source of that woman's food must be quite special. Considering the unique nature of this camp, it's evident that food was likely her reward."
"These women use their bodies to serve the men in the camp, and in return, they receive food from the dominant men... Heh heh..."
As they descended further, the cold smile on Chu Donglin's face grew increasingly ruthless, while Liu Xiner's expression of fear and anger intensified.
"To be honest, when I realized all of this, I felt truly disgusted. Zombies may eat people, but that's merely a primal instinct for survival. Yet what these people do is a hundred times more repulsive than those zombies!"
He turned to look at Li Zheng, who was curled up in the corner of the living room. Chu Donglin's sneer deepened.
"Mr. Li Zheng, your level of cruelty and depravity is truly astonishing. I suspected that the order in this camp might be somewhat sinister, but I never imagined it would be this vile... Using the darkness and malice of human nature to dominate these Survivors and gain their support—you're doing quite well."
Li Zheng listened intently to everything Chu Donglin said. When Chu Donglin turned to look at him, a look of terror suddenly crossed his face.
"You... Chu..."
He gritted his teeth, and upon seeing Chu Donglin's icy mocking expression, Li Zheng realized that he had no chance of escape this time.
All his schemes had been laid bare; from the moment he invited Chu Donglin into the camp, he had already lost.
Understanding this, Li Zheng no longer hesitated. He roared fiercely and broke free from his bindings, making a dash for the door.
However, a flying machete, propelled by fury, pierced through his body with pinpoint accuracy, pinning him against the wall.
Thud—
Blood sprayed in a frenzy as Li Zheng clutched his pierced abdomen, revealing a look of agony.
"You... you really have Ability!"
His gaze toward Chu Donglin was filled with resentment and hatred.
It was precisely because he suspected that Chu Donglin possessed Ability that he had refrained from acting rashly; he had only intended to lure Chu Donglin into the camp and use sheer numbers against him.
After all, being able to traverse the Zombie Sea with a girl who had little combat ability was enough to instill fear.
Now, Chu Donglin's actions confirmed his suspicions.
A regular throw could never possess such terrifying lethality. The machete that Chu Donglin had thrown was enhanced by his telekinetic ability, granting it immense kinetic energy, which allowed it to easily pin Li Zheng against the wall.
Looking at Li Zheng, pinned helplessly to the wall by the machete, Chu Donglin sneered and did not deny Li Zheng's accusation. "Don't you have an ability as well?"
On Li Zheng's intact right hand, the skin had transformed into a strange metallic sheen, resembling gold or iron.
The ropes that had once bound him tightly were now shredded by this mutated right hand, as sharp as a blade.
Seeing Li Zheng's arm radiating a cold light like a blade, Chu Donglin shook his head. "I suspected you might have an ability, but I didn't expect it to be arm enhancement... If I had known, I would have cut off both your hands."
As Chu Donglin sighed, Li Zheng's face twisted with rage as he shouted frantically, "Chu Donglin! You bastard! Are you really not going to let me go?" (To be continued...)
