“Su Youzong, do you really have to…have to go to the extent of killing me?”
Sha Yikang used a table to support himself, and the gunshot wound made his face slightly grim.
His voice trembled from the excessive bleeding. It seemed to hold no authority in the ears of others.
“Weren’t you the one who did it first?”
“I did it first?”
!!
Hearing Su Mo’s rhetorical question, Sha Yikang was taken aback for a moment. Then, he laughed miserably.
“Hahaha! It’s me. I did it first. It’s my fault for not killing you thoroughly, giving you the chance to bounce back at me. It’s my fault for letting my guard down and allowing such a catastrophe to befall me.
“I know…I know you’re trying to collect exchange points to buy another ident.i.ty in a different territory to escape. However…even if you purchase a new ident.i.ty, without the mayor’s permission, you won’t be able to escape…you can’t escape!”
Bang!
A precise shot ended Sha Yikang’s manic performance.
The bas.e.m.e.nt went silent as a gunshot wound appeared on Sha Yikang’s forehead. The onlookers even held their breaths as the scene happened before them. The whole atmosphere seemed to freeze for a moment.
Soon, a sensible person noticed why Su Mo silently remained in his seat.
He quickly ran toward Sha Yikang’s corpse and searched it several times.
Then, he took out a s.h.i.+ny tortoisesh.e.l.l and walked over respectfully.
“Su…Mr. Su, this is Sha Yikang’s core. The points are within it!”
“Good!”
Su Mo took it, and a beep sounded.
[Record: An ownerless shelter core has been detected. Would you like to use fusion?]
[Record: It is detected that the player “Su Mo” is from the outside world. Thus, the fusion will only consist of the core’s exchange points. Would you like to continue with the fusion?]
In the real wasteland, fusing a core would allow the player to inherit the disaster points and items within it.
However, inside the ruin world, Su Mo could only obtain the points, not the items.
Su Mo used his consciousness and chose to fuse without hesitation. The light burst from the tortoisesh.e.l.l a rapidly fused with Su Mo’s core.
A few moments later, the core fusion was complete as everyone watched patiently. The points on Su Mo’s game panel had reached an impressive amount of…
1608 points!
‘We’ve got enough to buy ident.i.ties!’
Seeing that the number of points finally broke through the 1600 point, Su Mo’s eyes lit up, and he was finally in good spirits.
Although he had already predicted it would be a bountiful night before coming, he never expected to collect as many as 1100 points at once!
Su Mo believed that if he continued to rob them by forcing them to sell their properties for money, he could easily exceed 2,000 points.
However, Su Mo shook his head and dismissed the idea after thinking about the troublesome process of such a plan.
“Everyone stay here and wait until dawn before leaving.”
“Of course, you can also leave before dawn, but…that will be at your own risk!”
Su Mo stood up triumphantly, turned around, and walked to the stairs.
It would be troublesome to interrogate these people’s sins and deal with them individually.
He had confiscated all these people’s points, and they would not have the ability to escape when the foreign armies invaded the territory in three days.
Leaving them to foreign races would be the best punishment for them.
Moreover, there was a “rich” mayor waiting for him in town. Su Mo left excitedly and his footsteps inevitably became lighter.
…
Doomsday Calendar Year 8 Month 5 Day 26.
The leaders.h.i.+p of Green Fruit Territory’s p.r.i.c.kly Pear Town was almost completely taken out overnight and shut down.
The higher-ups such as the mayor, Gao Tianming, director of the resource department, Sha Yikang, and even the lower leaders.h.i.+p members such as the deputy captain of the guard department, Josh Primo, deputy director of the transportation teams, Xia Ou, and so on were taken down.
There were about twenty people discovered dead in the morning.
Beneath them were papers that listed the crimes they had committed.
Anyone who had read the notes would be horrified.
On the other hand, some illegal underground organizations also suffered since they no longer had the mayor’s protection. They were invaded by a mysterious person who stole everyone’s exchange points.
Those who used wicked methods and oppressed others did not dare to appear again in the day after going through such a shocking event.
It was as if the whole town had been cleansed.
Immediately, the remaining leaders.h.i.+p members of p.r.i.c.kly Pear Town panicked and were ready to escape before the Green Fruit Territory Lord sent new leaders.h.i.+p members.
Meanwhile, the ordinary residents applauded and claimed that the town had returned to its peaceful state, similar to when it was just established.
Evidently, Su Mo and Huang Xiaojuan were unbothered by these things as they were about to embark on the train to Heaven’s Origin.
At the crossroads of destiny, they were getting on the train to Heaven’s Origin.
In a sense, this could be considered a rebirth!
…
“Everyone, please take out your tickets in advance. Don’t wait until the last minute to hastily search for it. It’ll be a waste of everyone’s time.”
“Those in the back, hurry up! There are only five more minutes till the train departs!”
“Pa.s.sengers bringing dogs, please keep an eye on them! You will have to get off the train and bear the consequences if your dog bites another pa.s.senger.”
“…”
The loud horns resounded in the station.
Caught in the crowd, Su Mo carried a large bag that was a person’s height on his back. In his left hand, he held onto Huang Xiajuan’s small hand. In his right hand, he held onto Oreo’s leash.
He looked similar to those around him, and his outfit blended well into the crowd, not looking out of place at all.
“Youzong, how about I go buy some drinks and food? Someone is selling them over there!”
Huang Xiaojuan was like a happy child. She was dressed in a floral dress and looked curiously at the surroundings, turning left and right with a face of joy.
After being displaced in the wasteland for eight years, she constantly had a sense of not belonging even in Green Fruit Territory.
Yet, she was excited just thinking about boarding a train to Heaven’s Origin soon. Although it was an unfamiliar place, she could not help wanting to sing aloud the happiness in her heart.
“Alright. It just so happens that we still have some contribution points from this place. You take them and spend it all!”
Su Mo reached into his pocket and took out a handful of colorful contribution bills. Then, he handed them over to Huang Xiaojuan with a smile.
A few moments later, Huang Xiaojuan returned with a full load. Among the crowd, two people and one dog boarded the train. Then, they found seats and sat down.
“Woah. There seem to be fewer people in the carriage.”
