Chapter 50 Only the dead won't steal.
As soon as Deputy Director Liu finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze.
Seeing that Jiang Ming did not immediately attack him, Deputy Director Liu thought that his official authority had worked, and he straightened his back even more.
"We're all classmates and alumni, what can't we discuss?"
He took two steps forward, his beady green eyes, hidden behind his gold-rimmed glasses, fixed on the battle axe in Wang Yang's hand, which was still radiating heat.
Greed almost overflowed from his eyes.
"Young man, please put down that axe. It's too dangerous. What if it hurts one of your own?"
Deputy Director Liu stretched out his hand, striking a pose as if an elder were asking for a toy.
Wang Yang was so angry he laughed.
With a flick of his wrist, the axe blade left a crimson afterimage in the air before striking the soil right in front of Deputy Director Liu's toes.
"laugh--"
The soil was scorched by the high temperature, emitting a plume of acrid black smoke.
Deputy Director Liu yelped like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and bounced backward, nearly knocking over Wei Yuan behind him.
"You think you're so great, huh?"
Wang Yang, holding the battle axe in one hand, took a step forward.
"I didn't see you reach out when I was killing the monster, and now you want to steal the fruits of my labor? If you don't want that hand anymore, you can just chop it off."
Wei Yuan helped the disheveled Deputy Director Liu up, his fake smile finally crumbling.
He straightened his suit collar, not backing down despite Wang Yang's threat.
In his view, no matter how strong this group of people were, they were still just a few students.
As long as no one actually kills anyone, numerical superiority is an absolute truth.
"Jiang Ming, are you trying to become a mountain king?"
Wei Yuan raised his voice, turned to face the fifty-odd people behind him, and began his performance.
"Students, we rushed here with great difficulty to provide support, without even having a sip of water, and now someone wants to take all the supplies from the entire camp and even tries to harm Teacher Liu!"
"How much food is in here? How many life-saving weapons are there?"
"They have so few people, yet they want to monopolize so many supplies! Isn't that incredibly unreasonable!"
These words were highly inflammatory.
The students, who were initially somewhat intimidated by Jiang Ming's menacing aura, began to stir.
The desire for this camp overwhelmed reason.
In the crowd, a pair of bloodshot eyes lit up.
Zhang Wei hid behind a tall, strong physical education student, staring intently at Su Xiaoxiao, who was standing behind Jiang Ming.
Her body was almost pressed against Jiang Ming's back.
Jealousy gnawed at Zhang Wei's heart like a venomous snake.
"I saw it!"
Zhang Wei suddenly screamed, his voice sharp and piercing.
"That tent was full of meat! And that woman was holding the equipment from that giant monster!"
He pointed at Xu Shishi, his fingers trembling.
"Why should they get to eat meat while we can't even get soup? Let's all rush in together, the law won't punish us!"
"That's right! The law doesn't punish everyone!"
"That belongs to all of us!"
"Why can they take it, but we can't?"
Once someone started stirring things up, the crowd instantly erupted in cheers.
Several students who were originally school thugs exchanged glances, pulled out homemade weapons from their waists, and pushed forward while cursing.
Courage is contagious.
Especially when greed is justified by "justice".
Looking at the excited crowd, Wei Yuan's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.
This is exactly the effect he wanted.
As long as things get chaotic, he'll have a chance to fish in troubled waters, and might even take advantage of the chaos to get rid of troublemakers like Jiang Ming.
"Everyone, calm down! Don't act impulsively!"
While Wei Yuan kept telling everyone to calm down, his body betrayed him by stepping aside and clearing the way for Jiang Ming.
"Charge! Grab the gear!"
I don't know who shouted.
Three burly physical education students rushed out first.
Armed with homemade spears and baseball bats, they headed straight for Wang Yang and Xu Shishi.
In their view, the axe in Wang Yang's hand and the brass knuckles in Xu Shishi's hand were more attractive than Jiang Ming's sword and shield.
Moreover, two fists can't beat four hands.
Fifty people charging at a dozen or so could easily crush them to death.
Jiang Ming stood still, without making any move.
He simply watched the men rushing towards him calmly, as if they were corpses.
"Let's do it!"
Upon hearing those two words, Wang Yang and Li Bin's eyes lit up.
"I can't fucking wait any longer!"
Wang Yang roared and, instead of retreating, charged towards the three physical education students.
The three physical education students clearly hadn't expected Wang Yang to be so assertive.
The boy at the front raised his baseball bat, trying to block Wang Yang's axe.
In his mind, everyone was a college student who would see each other all the time, and at most they would fight. Who would dare to really kill them?
But he was wrong.
That's completely wrong.
"Snap!"
The baseball bat snapped in two the instant it made contact with the blazing tomahawk, just like a crisp cookie.
Without pausing, the crimson axe blade, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, cleaved directly into the boy's collarbone.
"Pfft!"
Blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering the faces of the two people behind him.
The boy's eyes widened, and he made bubbling sounds like "Ugh! Hoo hoo!!" before collapsing limply to the ground.
Even on his deathbed, he couldn't believe that Wang Yang would actually kill someone.
"Murder...murder!"
The two PE students behind them were terrified by what they saw. Their legs went weak, and they turned around and tried to run away.
"Screw you!"
Wang Yang, blinded by rage, kicked the man on his left to the ground and then smashed the back of his axe into the back of the man's head.
The sound of bones cracking is enough to make your teeth ache.
The man twitched twice and then stopped moving.
At the same time, a thin figure appeared like a ghost to the side of the third person.
Li Bin pushed up his glasses, and the [Venomous Piercer] in his hand, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, precisely pierced the man's waist.
"ah--!!"
A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the camp.
The boy clutched his waist and fell to the ground. The poison spread rapidly, and the area around his wound instantly turned purplish-black. He curled up in agony.
In the blink of an eye.
Three people were involved; two died and one was seriously injured.
The crowd, which had been shouting and rushing forward, seemed to have been put on pause.
Everyone froze, staring at the two still-convulsing corpses on the ground, and the wounded man rolling around on the ground.
The smell of blood mixed with the stench of burning flesh assaulted everyone's senses.
This is not a fight.
This is a truly deadly attack!
"Anyone else want to come up and try?"
Wang Yang stepped on the dead man's chest and pulled out the battle axe.
The blood-stained axe blade pointed at the crowd, dark red blood dripping down the axe handle.
No one dared to speak.
Zhang Wei, who had just been shouting "the law does not punish the masses," was now so frightened that he shrank back into the deepest part of the crowd, his crotch soaked.
Wei Yuan's face was ashen.
He had calculated everything, except for one thing.
Jiang Ming and his group have already transcended the category of "students".
They have adapted to the current law of the jungle.
Meanwhile, they themselves were still clinging to the illusion of a civilized society.
