Rewriting My Fate in the Apocalypse

Juan Ke and the other neighbors who were still there were surprised by Leng Pan's bold words. Moreover, she didn't even flinch when she talked about the people she had killed.

How can a girl be so brazen? However, when they thought about how those thugs had demanded for her to follow them and serve them like a prostitute, they understood that if she didn't take drastic and ruthless measures to protect herself, then she would be the one to suffer.

They had seen how easily they could lose their possessions just by having their family members threatened.

After all, didn't they obediently bring supplies to those thugs so that they would stop beating their family members?

If they had the strength and boldness Leng Pan and Lu Zhen had, they wouldn't be at the mercy of others.

Thinking of this, the few people there made a decision in their hearts, they would never be at the mercy of others.

They would strike first before the enemy had the opportunity to hurt them or those they cared about.

They had to learn to be ruthless because in the apocalypse, no one was your friend or neighbor. There were no laws to govern your actions or the actions of others.

There was no government system in place to arrest and bring criminals to trials. A person could kill another in front of a police officer and nothing could be done.

After all, they couldn't take people to jail like before. So, now the law of the jungle applied. When a conflict occurs, you either die or I die. There is no in-between.

This was something many people still hadn't understood. But they couldn't be blamed too much because they grew up in a society ruled by law.

A society where if you did something wrong, a corresponding punishment would follow. People had not yet gotten rid of the mentality of relying on the government to solve their problems.

Only those who had truly understood the implications of the apocalypse have stopped hoping that help would fall from the sky and save them. They had taken matters into their own hands to protect their property and life.

At this moment, there was nothing like human rights in the world, so even those who stood up to bullies like Leng Pan and Lu Zhen weren't fighting for human rights, they were fighting for their survival.

They were aware that if they didn't fight, then they would die. So, I'm order to survive, they would not hesitate to kill.

Juan Ke had also come to this realization. He looked at his ex-wife who was still crying and begging for mercy for the man she had cheated on him with and for the first time, he thought that getting angry because of her cheating was not that significant.

He could be angry because she cheated on him, but with the current apocalyptic world, it wouldn't have been a surprise if she had teamed up with others to kill him instead.

Therefore, he thanked his lucky stas that his ex-wife had not been too bold and only dared to cheat on him.

Thus, at that moment, any lingering feelings he had for the woman vanished like smoke.

He figured that since she dared to sell out their neighbors for supplies, she would do the same to him the next time she grew bolder.

There was no need to feel sorry for someone without a conscience like that one.

The other family members who had been beaten by the thugs also seemed to have been enlightened as well. They all realized that the world now was all about survival and nothing else mattered.

"Okay then. Let's let them go, but if they try anything again, I will turn them into ashes without a second thought." Lu Zhen finally said to his wife.

When Leng Pan heard that, she withdrew her spiritual power out of the bodies of the few people crying on the floor in pain.

Boss Wang felt as if he had brushed shoulders with the grim reaper.

He made a decision to never ever provoke those stars of disaster again. He had not expected there to be people who were so powerful that they could literally steal their lives without moving a hand.

Compared to this technique, his gun was a complete joke. Where had he gotten the courage to go against those two and even threaten to turn Leng Pan into a plaything? He would most likely be turned into a plaything.

His head could be turned into a soccer ball for her to play with. If that woman hadn't been pleading for him the entire time and proven that at least she had him in her heart, he would have put a bullet in her skull.

How dare she instigate him to go and rob people who were the devil himself? Did she really think he had lived for too long? Otherwise, why would she come up with such a dumb idea?

"Get out of here. Are you waiting for me to invite you to dinner or what?" Leng Pan asked when she saw that the people who had already stopped hurting were not moving.

Did they really think she had let them go because she couldn't kill them? She had many ways to kill them and make sure that her floor remained clean.

She had only let them go because she understood that at the moment, no one was pure anymore. Everyone was seeking profits for themselves and if they had to kill everyone whose ambition became too big, then no one would be left in this world eventually.

When the people on the floor heard Leng Pan's words, they scrambled to their feet as if the devil was chasing after them and ran outside.

They didn't even care about their companions or the weapons lying on the ground. One could see how close they were just by this action.

Their brotherhood was practically non-existent.
