Chapter 401 Internal Fight
"The more ambitious the goal, the easier it is for people to lose sight of the road ahead. So no matter what happens in the future, you must look clearly at your feet. No matter what time it is, you must look around you."
Liu Lingshan's voice suddenly rang in Su Ming's mind. Su Ming looked at the mother and daughter begging in front of him and took a deep breath.
He said to himself in his heart, Su Ming, calm down, calm down a little more, don't do things according to your own ideas, look around you clearly, and then see if you have the ability to accomplish all this.
Order has begun to collapse, and his control over these people is gradually declining, and the speed of decline is rapid.
If he hadn't kept a large amount of food on hand, these people would have probably fled long ago.
"No killing each other, this is the rule I mentioned before, right?" Su Ming raised his head and slowly swept his murderous gaze across the crowd. "You should have seen what kind of punishment you will get for violating the rules. I said I would handle this matter, so why would someone act on their own?"
The people around were frightened by Su Ming's eyes and took several steps back. Those who were standing with torches looked at Su Ming with confusion, as if they didn't understand why Su Ming was speaking for these traitors.
Someone in the crowd was bold enough to shout, "They stole the food first, and now they can pay it back by kneeling down?!"
"We didn't, we know nothing!" A man argued at the top of his voice, but attracted more abuse and intimidation from people around him.
"No matter if these people intentionally wanted to get more food, killing is wrong . Who knows whether the murderers were doing it to uphold the rules or to seize the food? If the murderers are really so righteous, how about standing up now for everyone to see and accept everyone's praise?"
Su Ming took a few steps forward, approached the other party, and slowed down his voice slightly: "He won't stand up, because he is also afraid that someone will kill him! Those who break the rules will not be protected by the rules after all."
Everyone was murmuring, and everyone was extremely dissatisfied.
But the protest speech never appeared.
So, Su Ming continued, "Someone has to protect them now. We can't let this happen again. Miss Cao, please come and protect them."
Cao Fengling glanced at Su Ming and snorted coldly: "Humph! Don't put all the troubles on me, my people are starving too!"
"So are you going to do it or not?" Su Ming spread his hands.
"Tsk! Could you please solve this problem quickly?" Cao Fengling complained, looking sideways at those who were kneeling on the ground, and said impatiently, "Everyone, stand up! Come here, Heizi, these people are under your protection."
Those people gathered around Cao Fengling as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Hey! Xia, you don't plan to share the food with us, do you? You must want to keep it for yourself!"
A discordant voice suddenly rang out from the back of the crowd. The voice was hoarse and low, as if something was stuck in the throat.
Su Ming's expression changed slightly. He looked in the direction where the sound came from. Then screams were heard from the back of the crowd. A commotion broke out. A large group of people scattered like a school of fish startled by a shark. A pot-bellied man was isolated. He stood there with his eyes bulging, his lips turned outward, and his teeth became sharp and long, like a deep-sea lantern fish.
The filthy clothes were burst by the swollen muscles. The obese man's body grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The deformed bones in his body crackled like fried beans. In the blink of an eye, his body shape changed from a short and fat man of 1.6 meters to a muscular man of 3 meters tall... Of course, these muscles were completely deformed.
“Ahhh! Monster! Monster!!”
"Run! Everybody run!"
It took the people who had been standing there in a daze several seconds to realize the critical situation. Finally, someone issued a warning. Ordinary people who had no fighting ability fled around, while those with powerful abilities chose positions that were beneficial for their actions in a more orderly manner. Luo Bing beside Cao Fengling immediately entered invisible mode, while other abilities began to keep their distance.
As for Cao Fengling himself, he was quite calm. He clenched his fists and prepared for battle.
Judging from her expression, she seemed quite impatient.
Su Ming shifted his gaze away from Cao Fengling's face and turned to Bai Chifei who was not far away.
"Brother, what should we do?" Bai Yufei asked softly in Bai Chifei's ear.
"Let's retreat and not take action this time. Let's first see what abilities that guy has." Bai Chifei said without hesitation, leading his men quietly away from the battlefield.
Su Ming noticed that Bai Chifei and his men had distanced themselves from the monsters and it seemed that they had no intention of joining the battle.
He guessed that these people wanted to see what kind of supernatural powers he would display.
It doesn’t matter. It’s okay to show a little bit.
"I remember you. You used to live in a wealthy area, right? You were quite cooperative when we shared the furniture. Why did you become like this now?" Su Ming looked at the fat man who had suddenly mutated and asked with emotion.
The fat man who turned into a giant seemed not to hear Su Ming's words, but instead said something strange.
"Fat! My fat! You, give all the fat back to me! Give it to me to eat, I must eat...I must eat!!!"
The monster, who had been relatively calm, suddenly went crazy and let out a deafening roar. He suddenly opened his arms and without warning reached out to the person next to him who had been paralyzed due to fright and had no time to escape.
Su Ming stared at the monster.
The next second, the monster's huge body was cut into five neat parts - the head, arms, legs, and torso, as if they were cut by an invisible blade, and the fractures were as neat as laser slices.
A huge amount of blood gushed out, and the people who were close to it were directly drenched in blood. The hot and fishy blood instantly covered their bodies.
The people who were still fleeing stopped one after another and looked stupidly in the direction where the monster died. Even though the monster was beheaded, the mouth of its head was still opening and closing on the ground, and its snake-like tongue kept licking its own blood on the dirty mud.
Then, their eyes moved away from the shattered body and fell on Su Ming, who stood there with his hands in his pockets, expressionless and with a deep look in his eyes.
Not far away, Bai Chifei frowned and stared at Su Ming with a serious expression. In his mind, he kept replaying the scene of Su Ming killing the monster in seconds, and tried to analyze the power that Su Ming had just displayed.
To be honest, too little information has been revealed. What Su Ming just used... seems to be a wind-related ability?
But it could also be an invisible slash or something like that.
It is very fast and has great lethality. If you don't know in advance that it is going to attack, you will most likely suffer a loss in the battle.
