This time, the survivors finally had nothing more to say. All six or seven female survivors in the courtyard stood up, and some male survivors voluntarily took off their coats and gave them to the women.

As for the three men who had already rushed to the door, they were all frozen there, unable to advance or retreat. They had originally intended to barge in, and even if Li Chenzhou stopped them, they would demand an explanation: why was Li Chenzhou allowed to enter while they were not, when their families were inside?

But now, after that person's wrist was broken, none of the three men dared to rush forward, fearing that Li Chenzhou's pistol would be aimed at them.

Li Chenzhou ignored them, simply waiting quietly, while also glancing at Wang Yuanqiang and Kong Xiang, who had been watching the entire scene unfold.

These two were the people Li Chenzhou and Duan Lei were planning to select as the base leaders. Of course, there could only be one; the other had to be an assistant. Otherwise, factions would easily form within the base.

Moreover, Li Chenzhou would, like Luo Hong, give one of them an evolution serum. Only after becoming an evolver would that person have enough power to suppress the other survivors. The other, and most important, reason was naturally to pave the way for his future trades.

Li Chenzhou understood the hearts of people in the apocalypse. Although they rescued them and helped them build a base, they might be polite to him in the early stages, but over time, no one would remember what they had done before.

Even, when they didn't have enough strength, people would try to take advantage of them. Forget the apocalypse; even in peaceful times, there was no shortage of ungrateful people.

Therefore, if he wanted his mobile merchant operation to continue trading normally among these bases, in addition to great strength, he had to have enough benefits, and the evolution serum was the most important link in that chain!

Earlier, when entering the farmhouse, Li Chenzhou saw those female survivors. Their faces showed various expressions: pain, despair, numbness, fear, hatred, and so on. The only thing they had in common was that they wore no clothing.

Not giving them clothes was both to prevent them from escaping and to make things easier for the perpetrators. Li Chenzhou had seen this situation many times in his previous life, but he didn't expect to see it so soon after the apocalypse began.

Therefore, Li Chenzhou had made a decision in his heart. This time, he had to be ruthless, so that the decline of this base might be delayed for a long time.

In his previous life, he had no ability to change those bases, and even he himself had become numb to it. But in this life, with the identity of a merchant and the experience of helping people build bases in the early stages, perhaps the survivor bases in this life could retain a little more humanity…

"Find all of that guy's subordinates!"

After the female survivors entered the small building, Li Chenzhou waved to Wang Yuanqiang and Kong Xiang, and said to them.

Duan Lei watched Li Chenzhou from the side, knowing his intentions, so he didn't volunteer himself. He even pulled Fatty away from the courtyard because they were basically no longer needed here! Leaving Gray Bear was enough.

Wang Yuanqiang and Kong Xiang agreed and then left in different directions with their men. Blackie's subordinates should total twenty or thirty people because, after arriving in Wu Village, several people had proactively joined them for various reasons.

Before long, Wang Yuanqiang and Kong Xiang both returned, bringing Blackie's subordinates with them. Li Chenzhou looked at them and asked indifferently:

"Are they all here?"

"According to them… there shouldn't be any missing!"

Kong Xiang replied.

"I've also asked people to inquire with the original survivors of Wu Village. We'll have news soon!"

Wang Yuanqiang gave a different answer.

"Mm!"

Li Chenzhou nodded, not saying anything more, but just looked back at the small building.

It shouldn't take so long for the women to put on clothes. It was just that they had just experienced a huge upheaval in their lives, and it was probably difficult for them to calm down. Therefore, Li Chenzhou didn't urge them. Anyway, there should still be thirty or forty minutes before dark, and Wang Yuanqiang had even had people bring a pile of emergency lights when he came back, placing them in the courtyard.

At least on this point, Wang Yuanqiang had earned himself a lot of points: one was bringing emergency lights as a precaution, and the other was knowing to have his men inquire with the other survivors, rather than just asking Blackie's lackeys and returning to report like Kong Xiang!

After another ten minutes or so, the women finally came out, crying, led by the women who had entered earlier. And that was because one of the women suddenly remembered that there were still people waiting outside, and that they needed to identify people.

Earlier, after these women went in, they were only concerned with giving them clothes and comforting them, completely forgetting about this. Otherwise, if they had been told to identify the people who had violated them earlier, these women would probably have rushed out long ago.

"Go take a look! See who bullied you today, and don't let a single one go!"

Seeing these women come out, Li Chenzhou pointed to Blackie's lackeys, who had long been gathered together in the center of the courtyard, and said to them. Then, he said to the lackeys:

"You also remember, no matter what they do to you later, no one is allowed to fight back, no one is allowed to move. Just stand here properly. Anyone who dares to resist will die a horrible death. You can take this as a threat, just like… you threatened them back then!"

"Boom!"

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, the abused women instantly exploded, all rushing towards Blackie's lackeys like crazy. They punched, scratched with their nails, bit with their teeth, and also uttered vicious curses, venting the pent-up emotions in their hearts.

"It's you! You killed my husband! I want you to pay for his life!"

A woman in her early thirties grabbed a Blackie lackey and cried out, then the two of them fell to the ground together. Because of Li Chenzhou's threat, the Blackie lackey didn't dare to fight back at all, but only used the fall to put his arm over his eyes, so as not to be clawed blind by this crazy woman.

Seeing this, Wang Yuanqiang couldn't help but frown, and wanted to step forward to kick the guy's arm away, but just as he took two steps, the woman who was pouncing on the lackey suddenly lowered her head and bit the lackey hard.

"Ah!"

A somewhat muffled scream rang out instantly, but in the entire chaotic courtyard, this scream was not very noticeable. Perhaps only Wang Yuanqiang and Kong Xiang, who saw it, would be shocked by the woman's… ruthlessness!
