The footsteps echoed throughout the cave’s small paths.
They sang like the whispers of the Grim Reaper.
Su Mo carried a great aura as he dealt with the two people. His figure continued to enlargen in the eyes of the laborers, and it seemed to overlap with that legendary man.
“Why? Why is it that I sense Almighty Su in this man?!”
After the first person said so, the other laborers also nodded in agreement.
Confident, domineering, arrogant, and mighty.
It was hard to imagine another person besides Su Mo in the wasteland having such opposing characteristics simultaneously.
In the next second, everyone suddenly realized that no matter this person’s identity or purpose, he was doing what everyone wanted to do after working day and night.
In their dreams and when being punished by whipping, they had thought of doing such things countless times.
The inside of the cave suddenly exploded!
“This man is terrifying. I could feel a strong murderous aura within him from far away. It was just like… those heroes in martial arts movies. Whenever two parties did not agree, they immediately fought!”
“Our cliff is halfway up the mountain. Even we wouldn’t have the confidence to go out and come back here safely, let alone this man who’d never been here before. How did he even get here?”
“Hey, don’t forget that it’s still snowing heavily outside. This slippery mountain road is practically a danger zone!”
“He said that he’s already dealt with the Liu brothers’ minions. Do you think it’s true?”
“How could it be fake? Didn’t you see how much commotion he made with those two people? The others would have rushed over by now if they were still around.”
“Let’s go, let’s go! We should follow him and witness how he deals with those two monsters, Liu Jie and Liu Zhi!”
“…”
A wave of discussion began to spread from the group of laborers!
They had become accustomed to living in despair and naturally changed to slowly adapt.
Being bullied, insulted, abused, and trampled on had become part of their daily life.
Among the hundreds of laborers, more and more people began to accept their fate, hoping their painful life would end as soon as possible.
However, right in front of them…
The two abusers with knives were subdued by Su Mo effortlessly.
He appeared like a ray of light!
The noisy discussions were the people’s joy at the sudden appearance of hope.
The terrified shouts from someone trying to catch up with Su Mo and warn him that the Liu brother had guns in their hand.
The joyful screams from the women chosen to sleep with the men but were spared because the time of selection had not arrived.
The painful cries from the family members and friends of those who had died at the hands of these beasts and now finally had a chance to avenge them.
The loud humming sounds echoed throughout the cave.
In the small cave, the loud shouts made a thunderous roar and resonated as Su Mo took five to six steps out.
It seemed to be a crusade against all the various evil deeds that had occurred in the cave!
‘Darkness happens all the time throughout every corner of the world!
‘In the past, someone else stood in front of us and shielded us from the world’s darkness, showing us only the bright parts of reality!
‘Now, it’s my turn to become that someone and be that shield of everyone else!’
Public opinion was like shapeless water, and it borrowed the form of whatever container it occupied.
Those who hurt others would have the same done to them.
Those who blessed others would also be repaid with kindness.
As the leading perpetrators, the Liu brothers were like a basin of cold water that extinguished the flames in everyone’s heart.
At this moment…
Su Mo was like a fire igniting the flames hidden away in the dark corners of their hearts were stimulated and ignited again with light and heat.
“Let’s go! It’s time to punish those two beasts!”
The tall woman remained on guard at the cave’s main entrance and carefully inspected the interior, seemingly looking for the Liu brothers’ whereabouts.
She saw Su Mo walking over and cast a respectful gaze at him.
“Uh…uh…uh!”
She pointed to the pitch-black interior, swallowed her saliva, and began to utter and gesture.
It was easy to understand what she wanted to convey.
Most likely, she wanted to remind him that the Liu brothers had guns and the terrain advantage. They would probably be ambushed if they were to take action rashly.
It was the truth of the situation.
This was the very reason why Liu Jie and Liu Zhi were able to oppress hundreds of people for such a long time.
Those who had once lived in modern times have developed extensive and vast information.
They were not afraid of fist fights and would have the courage to fight with a numerical disadvantage, even when the strength of both sides was disparate.
Most were still bold enough to fight with their lives with cold weapons such as swords.
However, when it came to guns, they made anyone terrified.
Most people understood that even the most basic gun would cause a big hole wound if it hit a person.
In the doomsday wasteland where medical care was imperfect, a gunshot wound would mean a slow and painful death!
No one wanted to take the lead nor dared to resist the deterrence of guns, which eventually led to their current situation.
“Hey! Didn’t I just tell you the importance of terrain? You just learned about it and forgot it immediately!
“Who said I was going to confront them head-on? We’ve got tons of means to force them out of hiding!”
