Jiao Feiyang looked at his groaning subordinates on the ground with disbelief, then shifted his gaze to the doorway while quickly reaching for his waist.
A pistol was hidden at his waist.
Wang Yu stood at the doorway, hands behind his back, and said coldly to Jiao Feiyang, "I advise you not to try to attack me, otherwise I might accidentally kill you."
"..."
To be honest, Jiao Feiyang had never heard such arrogant words in his life.
Yet, Wang Yu's tone was so casual, as if killing him was a trivial matter.
The three women beside him were surprised by Wang Yu's arrival, but that was all.
They knew Jiao Feiyang had a gun, and that the people outside also had guns. Although they didn't know how Wang Yu got in, they guessed he must have tricked the people outside and snuck in.
"Who are you?" Jiao Feiyang stared sharply at Wang Yu and asked in a deep voice.
Wang Yu looked at him expressionlessly and asked blandly, "Are you the boss here?"
"I am."
Wang Yu nodded. "I'm only here to ask a few questions. I have no ill intentions towards you. Otherwise, based on you trying to rob me just now, you would all be dead by now."
"..." Jiao Feiyang's mouth twitched. He felt that Wang Yu genuinely had no ill intentions.
However, as the boss, with his subordinates incapacitated and the people outside possibly dealt with, how could he not make a statement?
If he surrendered to Wang Yu immediately, how could he command respect in the future?
Jiao Feiyang was an ambitious man. He intended to achieve great things in the apocalypse and was by no means a spineless coward who would easily submit.
So, he directly drew his pistol, pointed it at Wang Yu, and said in a deep voice, "Kid, I don't care where you came from, nor do I care if you have ill intentions. But you beat up my subordinates today, and this matter cannot be left as is!"
"If you're smart, get on your knees and kowtow a few times, and I'll forgive you on behalf of the brothers."
Wang Yu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "As expected, people are like this. They won't shed tears until they see the coffin."
Jiao Feiyang's eyes turned cold, and he pulled the trigger.
He wouldn't have gotten this far if he were soft-hearted.
As the saying goes, "If the heart is not ruthless, the position is not stable!"
As the leader of this group, Jiao Feiyang had naturally killed many people. Seeing Wang Yu's defiance, he fired first!
"Bang!"
A bullet shot out from the barrel. At almost the same moment, Wang Yu subtly shifted a step to the right.
The bullet grazed past him.
???
Jiao Feiyang's eyes widened, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
With his eyesight as a Level 2 evolved being, he couldn't clearly see how Wang Yu had dodged it!
Did he miss?
That was impossible!
As a Level 2 evolved being and a master marksman, how could he make such a rookie mistake? It was almost impossible.
Wang Yu, without even blinking, calmly walked towards Jiao Feiyang.
"I told you, don't try to attack me. Why don't you listen..."
Wang Yu's voice was devoid of emotion, showing no fluctuation from Jiao Feiyang's shot.
After a brief moment of shock, Jiao Feiyang aimed at Wang Yu again, preparing to fire another shot.
He refused to believe that anyone could dodge a bullet at such close range!
"Die..."
"Huh???"
As he aimed at Wang Yu and prepared to pull the trigger, he suddenly found that his finger wouldn't move!
Not just his finger, but his entire arm, his entire body, seemed to be encased in some invisible force from all directions, as if frozen!
Only his head could still move slightly.
"You! What did you do to me!!"
For the first time, Jiao Feiyang experienced true fear. This feeling was infinitely more terrifying than having a gun pointed at him!
Because he was completely ignorant of this invisible power, and the deepest human fears often stem from the unknown!
Wang Yu slowly walked up to him. The young man lying on the ground and the three women around them quickly retreated, afraid of being affected.
Wang Yu put the pistol into his storage ring and calmly looked at Jiao Feiyang, saying, "Do you have any last words?"
"No, no! You can't kill me!"
Jiao Feiyang let out a hysterical roar. "My uncle is a general in the Haiyuan Town military. If you kill me, you'll only be able to associate with zombies from now on!"
In his agitation, he realized his body had regained its freedom.
But he had no inclination to resist.
After uttering the threat, he slumped to his knees, his body leaning forward, his proud forehead pressed against the cold, dust-covered floor.
His voice trembled as he said, "Don't, don't kill me... Please, spare me. I was blind..."
"Thump, thump..."
He kowtowed repeatedly. "Please, let me off this time! I, I can't die! My mother is still waiting for me at home; I'm her only family in this world..."
By the end, Jiao Feiyang choked up.
"..." Wang Yu was genuinely surprised by Jiao Feiyang's extreme reaction.
He was kneeling and kowtowing, and as a grown man, he was even crying.
However, Jiao Feiyang's words made Wang Yu fall silent for a moment.
The only family in the world...
If Wang Yu's mother were still alive, she would likely be his only family as well.
After a moment of silence, letting Jiao Feiyang continue to cry, Wang Yu suddenly said, "Serve me as your master, and I can spare your life."
"Ah?"
Jiao Feiyang suddenly stopped crying, looked up, and asked somewhat dazedly, "How, how do I serve you?"
Wang Yu took out a small black pill from his storage ring and casually tossed it onto the floor in front of Jiao Feiyang.
"Swallow this, and from now on, call me Master."
Seeing Wang Yu produce a pill out of thin air, Jiao Feiyang tremblingly picked up the small pill from the floor. "This... is this poison?"
A hint of contempt flashed in Wang Yu's eyes. He said unhappily, "Either swallow it and serve me, or die. You have three seconds to consider."
Hearing this, Jiao Feiyang no longer hesitated and directly swallowed the small black pill.
He was like a fish on a chopping block, with no choice.
Only when one is truly facing death can they know if they can truly let go of life.
And in most cases, the answer is no.
No one would easily give up their life.
Therefore, Wang Yu was not surprised by this outcome and calmly said, "From now on, with a single thought from me, you will suffer a fatal poisoning. It will start with your internal organs rotting, causing three days and three nights of heart-wrenching pain."
"Furthermore, as your master, if I die, you will absolutely not survive."
Hearing this, Jiao Feiyang couldn't help but tremble and quickly said, "Master! Please rest assured, Xiao Yang will never betray Master!"
To save his life, Jiao Feiyang also referred to himself as Xiao Yang for the first time.
Wang Yu nodded. He kept Jiao Feiyang not out of sudden benevolence.
He had a purpose, so he casually gave him a pill to scare him.
Wang Yu scanned the convenience store and asked Jiao Feiyang, "Do you have a woman named Jiang Nanshuang here?"
