Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 159 Killing One On the Spot Will Suffice!
Seeing Duan Lei appear, Liu Kaixuan quickly said in a low voice. He was still somewhat afraid of this little god of death, Duan Lei.
The other survivors had much the same expression when they saw Duan Lei. They all shut their mouths and hid themselves behind the police officers.
"Young man, we're not having a meeting, nor are we holding an election, and we're certainly not blocking the road. We're just here to protect you!"
Actually, even without Liu Kaixuan's introduction, Liu Hengjin could guess Duan Lei's identity, because he was wearing the same clothes as the girl in the armored vehicle. So, he stepped forward and looked at Duan Lei.
If he wanted to get this team under control, he had to get this young man under control first. Liu Hengjin was well aware of this!
"Protect us? We don't need your protection, we just need you to get out of the way!"
Duan Lei sneered, looking at the police station nearby. Duan Lei had long understood what was going on. Naturally, he wouldn't be polite to these police officers.
Clearly, these guys had been hiding in the police station. Now they saw so many survivors and so many supplies, so they came out to reap the rewards.
"Young man! You may not need our protection, but your opinion doesn't represent everyone else's!"
Liu Hengjin said, then pointed to the survivors standing behind them:
"Look, like them, they've come to ask for our help. No matter what, we're police officers. Perhaps, in the eyes of the public, we're more trustworthy!
Although the world has changed, I think that at any time, the people have the right to choose. They can choose anyone they trust to protect them. If someone forces them, can I assume that he's saving people for some other purpose?"
"That's right!"
To Liu Hengjin's surprise, after he finished speaking, Duan Lei actually nodded in agreement. And then, Duan Lei immediately jumped onto the armored vehicle, opened the sunroof, took out a walkie-talkie, turned on the loudspeaker, and said into it:
"Attention everyone, there are more than twenty police officers in front of our team, each with weapons. They say it's their responsibility to protect the people, so they're here to protect everyone. If anyone thinks their protection would be better and wants to accept their protection, you can get out of the car now and come to the front of the convoy!"
After speaking, Duan Lei put down the walkie-talkie, turned his head, and said to a survivor in the back of the car:
"Pass my words down, all the way to the end of the line, so everyone knows about this!"
"Yes!"
The survivor was a member of the combat team left behind by Wang Yuanqiang. He agreed and ran back.
Putting down the walkie-talkie, Duan Lei simply sat on the roof of the armored vehicle, looked at Liu Hengjin, and smiled:
"Look, I won't force anyone. Those who want to accept your protection will come to the front on their own. If you don't believe it, you can have your people go into the team and call for people. As long as someone wants to follow you, I definitely won't stop them!"
Hearing Duan Lei's words, Liu Hengjin's face turned livid. What he wanted was command of the entire team, including these cars and the supplies in them. What good would it do to just have a few people?
Those who would leave the team and follow him at this time would definitely be fence-sitters. Liu Hengjin didn't want such people. They wouldn't be able to help much, and they would waste food and water. And most importantly, if they encountered other powerful teams in the future, these people would definitely join the other side without hesitation, just like now.
Looking at the pistol in Duan Lei's thigh holster, Liu Hengjin narrowed his eyes, then suddenly said:
"Young man, just now they… seemed to say that you killed someone? And just today?"
"Who said that? Stand up and let me see, huh?"
Duan Lei looked at the survivors with a smile!
The survivors looked at each other. No one dared to stand up and testify. Some things, they dared to say behind Duan Lei's back, but to make him say it in front of Duan Lei…
Liu Hengjin also turned back to look at the survivors, a trace of annoyance flashing in his eyes. If no one dared to stand up, then he wouldn't be able to seize on this point.
So, he turned to look at Liu Kaixuan.
Looking at Liu Hengjin's gaze, Liu Kaixuan knew he had to make a choice, either choose Duan Lei or choose Liu Hengjin.
Thinking that he was already standing here, according to Duan Lei's temper, even if he stood on Duan Lei's side now, he probably wouldn't get any good results.
So, Liu Kaixuan gritted his teeth and looked at Duan Lei:
"Little God of Death, so many people were watching when you killed people. Do you think you can hide it?"
As he spoke, Liu Kaixuan pointed at Duan Lei and turned to look at Liu Hengjin:
"Chief Liu, I can prove that he killed people, and more than one!"
"I… I can also testify!"
"Me too! I saw it!"
"He did kill people, shooting a hole right between their eyebrows. I saw it with my own eyes!"
With Liu Kaixuan taking the lead, the other survivors hesitated and joined in.
"What else do you have to say?"
Liu Hengjin was overjoyed and quickly pressed the attack, looking at Duan Lei:
"No matter how this world changes, we're still police officers. No matter who it is, as long as they kill someone, we have to arrest them. That's our duty! Get out of the car now and prepare to accept our interrogation!"
"They're just testifying. If I remember correctly, you police officers need at least physical evidence to solve a case, right? They say I killed someone, so I killed someone? Where are the bodies? Without bodies, who did I kill?"
Duan Lei looked at Liu Hengjin, suddenly smiled, and then looked at Liu Kaixuan:
"Hey! Since you said I killed someone, where are the bodies?"
"The bodies are in the back, at the intersection next to the Flower and Bird Market. There are also some on the street next to it!"
Liu Kaixuan had already gone all out, so he shouted loudly.
"Oh! There really are bodies?"
Duan Lei said in surprise, then nodded:
"Then I'll have to trouble you to go and bring the bodies over! No matter what, if you want to say someone killed someone, you always need to see the bodies, right? Am I right, Chief Liu?"
"No! I'm not going!"
Hearing Duan Lei's words, Liu Kaixuan shook his head desperately, a look of fear in his eyes. That intersection was right next to the Flower and Bird Market. When they left earlier, that guy who killed the crocodile said that there were definitely mutated beasts inside, and they could come out at any time. How could Liu Kaixuan dare to go back and get the bodies?
"You're not going? That's going to be difficult. Without bodies, our police officers can't handle the case!"
Duan Lei frowned, looked at Liu Kaixuan, then suddenly stood up and said with a smile:
"I've got it. If there aren't any bodies, then we can just kill one now, right?"
As he spoke, Duan Lei quickly drew his pistol and pulled the trigger. The crisp sound of the gunshot instantly rang out, constantly echoing in the air…
