The new era of mankind with destiny in hand at the end of the world

Zhang Ren and the other two followed the middle-aged man closely and hurriedly, and soon they arrived at the village committee.

However, at this moment, this building, which was supposed to be the village management center, has been transformed into a gloomy and terrifying processing plant.

A group of people with tragic fates are imprisoned here. They have long lost their own value and have become a reserve food source in the eyes of the villagers, waiting to be ruthlessly executed.

On the way here, Zhang Ren learned detailed information about the guards of this place from the middle-aged man.

It turned out that the prisoners held here had experienced two or three days of hunger torture to empty their intestines, and their bodies were extremely weak, with soft and powerless legs; plus the four people who came here with the middle-aged man, who were also poor people suffering from hunger and forced to work every day, there were only six ordinary villagers guarding this place.

Facing such an opponent, Zhang Ren could easily deal with it on his own.

However, taking into account that the innocent people who were imprisoned by the villagers must not be harmed, and at the same time, it is necessary to avoid alerting the villagers in other areas too early, so as to ensure the safety of the entire operation and the other two teams including Yang Ziling and An Ning can carry out their work smoothly, Zhang Ren and his team decided to abandon the strategy of breaking in directly and choose to move forward cautiously instead, taking every step as light as walking on thin ice, trying not to make any sound.

When they arrived at the back of the small processing plant, Zhang Ren scanned the surrounding environment with eyes as sharp as a hawk, and then made a simple and clear gesture to the two companions beside him.

The two people who had a tacit understanding with Zhang Ren instantly understood his intention, and they quickly and silently climbed over the wall and sneaked into the yard.

Zhang Ren's eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man who had not made any move. After thinking for a moment, he slightly opened his lips and gave an order in a low voice: "Go in!" Although the voice was light, the majesty contained in it was unquestionable.

The middle-aged man was obviously a little surprised by Zhang Ren's order, but after only a brief hesitation, he quickly climbed over the courtyard wall without hesitation.

Although he looked a little embarrassed at the moment, the martial arts he had learned in the past were not completely wasted.

The whole yard was in deathly silence, as if time had stood still.

Zhang Ren and several other people hid in the darkness like ghosts, carefully observing everything that happened around them.

After careful observation, they found that among the six people originally responsible for guarding, only two were sticking to the outer posts, while the other four were in the house, sitting in a circle, chatting enthusiastically and playing card games to pass the time.

Seeing this, Zhang Ren's eyes flashed with determination, and he quietly signaled to his companions around him, indicating that they could start the action.

So, everyone lowered their footsteps and slowly approached the group of defenseless guards like ghosts.

In their hands, everyone held an extremely sharp dagger that was carefully crafted by Zhang people using special powers and was flashing a terrifying cold light.

Just when they were only a few feet away from the guards, because the light in the yard was extremely dim, the middle-aged man was caught off guard and stepped on a dry branch that had fallen from the ground at some point.

All I could hear was a crisp "crackling" sound, which was particularly harsh in the silent night, like the sharp cry of a sword cutting through the sky.

The two men on duty immediately became alert, turned around abruptly, stared over here with torch-like eyes, opened their mouths, and were about to shout loudly.

However, they have no chance to make their voices heard.

Because at this critical moment, Zhang Ren's figure flashed and rushed forward like an arrow.

At the same time, he moved his hands extremely quickly and threw out two flying swords that were flashing with cold light.

The two flying swords were like two streaks of lightning, flying straight towards the throats of the two guards with astonishing speed and accuracy.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the two extremely sharp flying swords hit the target exactly!

The two poor guards didn't even have a moment to react before their throats were ruthlessly stabbed.

They didn't even have time to let out a final scream before their bodies fell heavily to the ground, dying on the spot.

Although the two guards were unable to make any sound, the loud noise they made when they fell to the ground inevitably disturbed the other four guards who were chatting and playing cards in the room.

Witnessing what was happening before their eyes, the four of them were all shocked and looked terrified.

At this moment, the middle-aged man saw the situation develop to this point, and he couldn't help but feel panic and guilt in his heart.

Fearing that he would be misunderstood by Zhang Ren and others, he quickly explained: "I really didn't mean to make such a big noise..."

These four guards were all born and raised in the village. Before the doomsday, they had always been vassals of the village chief. After the doomsday, they naturally followed the village chief and his two sons.

Ever since the entire village was completely taken over by the village chief, they have also followed suit and become adept at killing and looting. Moreover, every time they kill others unilaterally, there are almost no casualties, which makes them unconsciously feel that they are invincible and others can only leave them to their own devices.

However, when they witnessed the thrilling scene outside the house, they finally woke up, and their originally lazy and slack expressions were instantly swallowed up by fear. It turned out that they could also be easily killed by their prisoners.

Their faces were as pale as paper, their whole bodies were shaking, and their legs were weak and powerless as if they had lost support.

There was only one thought in my mind - to escape from this place quickly and seek shelter from the village chief and his son!

It happened in a flash. Just as the guards were about to turn around and run, Zhang Ren rushed forward at lightning speed.

Zhang Ren, who was as nimble as a cheetah and as agile as lightning, arrived at the gate in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Ren raised his hand and slapped it, accurately hitting the vital part of a guard running in the front.

One of them fell to the ground, forcing back the other three guards who were rushing towards the gate in panic.

The other three were not willing to be outdone, especially the middle-aged man who wanted to atone for his sins. Although they were a step behind in reaction, they also quickly attacked the remaining three who had retreated.

Be it punching and kicking, or grappling and throat-locking... several people displayed their own special skills, and for a moment, the only sounds in the field were groans and cries of pain.

However, with Zhang's presence, the battle was over in a moment.

The whole process was extremely clean and neat, and did not even cause much noise.

When the dust settled, Zhang Ren and his teammates successfully subdued all four guards.

After getting rid of the guards, Zhang Ren and his companions came to the door of the room where the survivors were imprisoned and inserted the key they took from the guard into Ruoyan's room.

With a slight "click" sound, the tightly closed wooden door finally slowly opened.

As the door opened, a pungent, disgusting smell rushed out in an instant.

This smell is like a curse of death, permeating the air and making people feel suffocated.

Zhang Ren frowned, but still suppressed his discomfort and stepped in carefully.

Haotian and Qingba, who were following Zhang Ren, froze at the door after entering.

They stared with their eyes wide open, faces full of fear, at the horrific scene in the house, and were speechless for a moment.
