The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 56
Chapter 56 Who Gave You the Courage
Yi Fan pulled Fina and walked towards the farmhouse music behind him. He said that it was a farmhouse music that Yi Fan and Fina had come close to. It was the farmhouse music that the three families had joined together.
Yi Fan pulled Fina into the nearest farm, the Old Farmer’s Farm. Yi Fan thought.
There was a wooden fence outside the farm, which was quite interesting to the peasants. However, at this moment, the railings were broken, and they were in a terrible state.
Walking into the wooden fence, he entered another door. Beside the door stood a huge Taihu Lake stone. It seemed that the owner of the farm had put in a lot of effort and was quite elegant. The two rows of ten-story houses surrounded a spacious courtyard. There was a huge camphor tree in the courtyard, and there were a few unique marble tables and stone stools, forming a beautiful scenery.
Yifan and Fei Na carefully approached the camphor tree. Both of them had seen mutated plants. Fortunately, this mutated plant was rare in the apocalypse.
The two of them walked over. Yifan sensed that the camphor tree had no reaction with his spiritual energy. He then used his knife to gently stroke the trunk of the camphor tree twice. The camphor tree was the same as before the apocalypse. The camphor tree could be confirmed to have not mutated. Yifan looked at the huge camphor tree that the three of them could not hold together. It had many branches, thick branches, and covered it like an umbrella.
If the camphor tree mutated, Yifan would probably have some trouble. He pulled Fei Na back to the farmhouse.
Very quickly, Yifan arrived in the middle of the courtyard. Yifan and Fei Na walked to the front door of the house together. The front door of the farm looked like a wooden iron-clad track door that could be stretched to either side. As soon as they reached the door, the sound of violent knocking came from inside.
“Bang! Crash!” Yi Fan kicked the door lock, causing the rail door to explode. One of the huge door panels was kicked flying away.
A zombie was probably standing right behind the door. It was kicked flying by Yi Fan’s powerful kick. With a bang, it fell into the wooden cashier’s desk, smashing the cashier’s desk into pieces of wood.
At this moment, Yi Fan already had the Big Horizontal Saber in his hand, while Fina quickly rushed out the moment the door opened. The zombie had just fallen into the cashier’s desk and hadn’t even waited for her to struggle out.
“Puchi …!” Fei Na’s sword had already pierced into the forehead of the zombie. Only then did Yifan see clearly that this was a female zombie. Judging from her age and clothes, she should have been the landlady of this farm.
On the left dining table of the cashier’s desk, Yifan saw two skeletons. One of them was an adult skeleton. The skeleton no longer had any meat on it. It was as clean as if it had been scratched by a sharp weapon or licked by a rough tongue.
The fingerbones on his hands and feet were like a few chewed-up, soaked pepper phoenix claws, scattered all over the ground. His ribs were forcefully broken off one by one, and there was no trace of meat on them. There were obvious tooth marks on them, and they were casually placed on the ground like thin bone knives.
There were also obvious tooth marks on the skull. A fist-sized hole was opened on the top of the skull. The entire skull was broken off. Apart from some extremely hard-to-reach areas, the skull was sucked and licked clean.
In the current weather, the brain tissue and some minced meat in the skull had not been licked clean. It had already rotted and maggots were born. An extremely strong stench of corpses pervaded the entire room.
Under the dining table, a few ragged pieces of cloth were scattered all over the ground, barely recognizing that it should be a suit.
On the other hand, the much smaller skeleton beside him was bitten even more thoroughly. The bones of his hands, feet, and fingers had completely disappeared, leaving only a pile of debris on the ground. Yi Fan couldn’t bear to take a closer look, but he saw a pink princess dress that looked complete beside the child’s skeleton.
Fei Na said with a heavy expression, “Brother Fan, this…”
Yifan said with a heavy tone, “Well, you’re not mistaken. This should be a family, but one of them mutated into this tragedy!”
Such tragedies, even more tragic tragedies, could be found everywhere in the apocalypse, and Yi Fan didn’t have much time to recall them.
“Let’s go, don’t look.” He pulled Fei Na into the room.
In the kitchen behind him, Yifan and Fei Na did not find any zombies or survivors. Yifan found a few bags of rice. Most importantly, Yifan found a lot of seasonings, salt oil, monosodium glutamate, etc., diluting the cruel scene that Yifan had just seen.
Next, Yifan and Fei Na went to the second farmhouse. Yifan had just used his Heavenly Rock Ring to collect some things, but he heard a gunshot from the gas station outside. That was fine. It was a gas station.
Yi Fan and Fina exchanged a glance before running towards the gas station at top speed.
I saw it right out of the farmhouse, The two waves of people were confronting each other, Fortunately, Yifan saw Ji Ruoxue and the others standing at the intersection of the gas station, while the other group consisted of more than 500 people, led by Wu Guohao and the others. However, it seemed that he had found a backer. Yifan saw a few military vehicles parked behind him, and there was actually a war chariot inside. At this moment, the two sides had gathered for 30 meters, and were already in a state of tension.
Yifan couldn’t help but feel a little angry in his heart. Mayor Wu was really anxious to die.
At the end of the line, the family members and the three professors were standing at the back with their glasses protecting them. At this moment, Ji Ruoxue was actually negotiating with the other party.
Ji Ruoxue said angrily, “Company Commander Sun, are you threatening us?”
Sun Zhehan smiled faintly and said, “I’m not threatening you. I’m just warning you, don’t think that with a few weapons, some shallow fighting skills, and a mutated snake, you can despise the country and the dignity of the army.”
“From now on, all of you have been recruited. From now on, you are all my people. Giving up resistance is your best choice. I am ordered to take over LY County and protect the county government officials. Anyone who is my enemy and does not listen to my commands can be executed on the spot for treason.”
Ji Ruoxue said, “We are just ordinary college students. We do not accept recruitment. We are not professional soldiers. We should be protected.”
Sun Zhehan laughed and said, “I heard Mayor Wu and some comrades below react. You are not ordinary people, and you have a certain amount of supplies. We just came to LY County and need a certain amount of supplies to support the following battles.”
“As a member of China, you should be proud of helping the Chinese army to establish a survival base, not stubbornly resisting. If you still don’t lay down your weapons and surrender, then we won’t be warning you if we fire again. I hope you won’t be mistaken.”
“Haha, who was I at that time? So it turned out to be Mayor Wu. How long have we only been apart? Not two hours, right? We really have a lot of destiny.” Yifan walked over slowly with a smile on his face. Those who didn’t know the tone of his voice thought that it was greetings from two good friends.
As Yifan walked, he observed the men and equipment on the other side, About 80 people were dressed in camouflage uniforms and bulletproof vests. Most of their weapons were Wind God Strike Rifles. There were even two Wind God Strike Rifles inside. When they saw someone coming from behind, the other four rows immediately turned their guns towards Yifan. Wu Guohao and Company Commander Sun also immediately turned their heads.
When Wu Guohao saw Yifan, he said calmly, “Haha, I didn’t expect that little brother would still be so tough when we meet again. Looks like little brother really can’t do it.”
Then he said to Sun Zhehan beside him, “Company Commander Sun, this person is the real leader of these people. This person is not simple. Company Commander Sun must be careful.”
“Haha … Hahaha!”
Company Commander Sun glanced at Yifan with a slightly disdainful gaze and continued, “Little brother, I hope you’re a smart person. Since you’re their leader, I’ll say it again.”
At this moment, Yifan did not stop and slowly walked towards Ji Ruoxue.
Company Commander Sun did not stop them, but the muzzles of his subordinates adjusted according to Yifan’s actions. Company Commander Sun asked, “Little brother, what is your name?”
Yi Fan said, “My name is Zhu Yifan.”
Company Commander Sun said, “I am Sun Zhehan, the commander of the C City Armed Police Corps and a squadron leader. I want to recruit your team now.”
At this moment, Yifan finally walked in front of Ji Ruoxue and gave her a relieved look. “Oh, what reason does Company Commander Sun have to recruit our team? We are just ordinary college students.”
Company Commander Sun said righteously, “It’s a time of war. We need a large number of troops. Whether you are college students or civilians, all young men of the right age are recruitable targets.”
“The state has already initiated an emergency plan for major dangerous situations. Regardless of whether it is a university student or not, as long as they can hold a gun, they must obey the summons of the motherland, fight for the nation, for humanity, and for survival. No one can shirk it.”
Yi Fan said calmly, “Then we have to respond to the call of the country?”
Company Commander Sun said, “Little brother Yifan, don’t worry. Our people’s soldiers will guarantee your safety. I know that you are in urgent need of supplies. I will requisition your supplies first. After the LY County Survivors’ Base City is established, I will return all of them to you. I will also seek credit from the higher ups.”
Yifan said calmly, “I don’t understand what you mean by human righteousness. I’m a selfish person and an ordinary university student. I don’t have that high level of awareness. As for the materials you’re talking about, they were obtained by my people in exchange for their lives. They’re my private property. Even if you are the people’s disciples, you can’t rob them openly, right?”
“Besides, some of you have guns and are completely capable of searching for vegetarian materials by yourselves. Why are you doing such petty and meticulous things under the banner of human national righteousness?”
Commander Sun’s expression instantly turned cold, “Little brother Yifan, are you going to defy the country’s recruitment order?” “You should know that there are more than 80 well-trained warriors standing behind me. If you are still stubborn and go against the state apparatus, then the consequences may not be something you can afford. You should discuss it with your classmates behind you.”
Yi Fan, who was already secretly circulating his entire body, said quietly, “Oh, is it your summons? Or is it the national summons? We need to discuss this issue properly.”
Just as Yi Fan finished speaking, Wu Guohao interrupted, “Little brother Yi Fan, I advise you to accept the country’s summons and surrender immediately. Otherwise, you may be able to escape. Those brothers behind you will probably be killed by you.”
At this moment, Wu Guohao was scheming against him. He wanted to provoke Yifan and Company Commander Sun to fight. It would be best if both of them were injured. In that case, his chance would come. Guns, rations, and women would be his spoils of war. However, he and Company Commander Sun had made a mistake.
Yi Fan probably knew what Wu Guohao was up to, but at this moment, the palm behind him loosened, and a fist-sized dark brown rock flashed with a faint light.
As for Ji Ruoxue, Yifan, Zhou Xin, Zhang Liang, Ling Wanyao, and Wang Yang, who were standing half a step behind Qiangzi, they all saw this stone. Although they did not know what the stone was for, they were prepared in their hearts. With their understanding of Yifan, Yifan was likely going to make a move.
Everyone’s faces remained motionless, but dark energy covered their entire bodies as they stared at each other.
“Mayor Wu, I’m very curious who gave you the courage to appear in front of me again, and who gave you the courage to provoke me.”
“Don’t you know that in my eyes, you aren’t even an ant?”
“Attack …!” As Yifan shouted, he rushed out like a gale…
