Chang Wei neither confirmed nor denied, but simply said, "Do you think that's all there is to my leaving?"
Sato's voice carried a hint of urgency: "Are you really only doing this for them? They're just passing through, why would you risk your life for them?"
She had some reservations about Yukino Yukinoshita and the other women who had been with Chang Wei before, because they ignored Chang Wei's good intentions and insisted on going to Tokyo.
Whenever Sato saw them, he felt unhappy.
Shadow, Shima Kenjin, and others also tried to persuade Chang Wei, but Takagi Saya frowned and asked softly:
"Have you really thought it through?"
She knew that Chang Wei would not act lightly over trivial matters, much less just for a promise.
Chang Wei looked at Takagi Saya, speaking slowly but firmly:
"I've decided that taking Yukino and the others with me is just a side trip. Actually, when I broke through to level seven, I had a premonition that I had to go to Tokyo, otherwise I would regret it for the rest of my life."
"Premonition?"
Everyone was stunned. They had always scoffed at such mysterious and enigmatic things.
But since it was Chang Wei who said it, they had no choice but to remain silent.
"Believe it or not, I have to go to Tokyo."
Chang Wei continued, "As for the information, Kashiwagi Miharu and the others don't know much, and I will instruct them to keep it a secret. But even if the information leaks, I don't believe Tokyo City would dare to fight us head-on. If it really comes to that, I will personally take action and make their leaders pay the price."
Chang Wei's words revealed a strong determination and murderous intent, which made everyone present feel a chill.
They knew that once Chang Wei had made his decision, no one could change it.
After enduring a long and brutal apocalyptic period, a layer of hard frost gradually formed deep within Chang Wei's heart.
Whenever the battle horn sounds, he will spare no effort to utterly crush the enemy.
"Captain Chang Wei, who are you planning to take with you? You can't go alone this time."
Hoshino Ai spoke softly, her eyes revealing her concern and reluctance to part with Chang Wei.
Although she knew that Chang Wei's decisions were often rock-solid, she still hoped that he could bring more people with him, just in case.
Chang Wei surveyed his surroundings, his gaze firm and resolute: "Those who accompany me this time must be the elite of my team. In the event of battle, they will be my strongest support."
He turned to Shadow: "Shadow, you come with me. Sato and Shima Kenjin, each of you take five men and go to the pass."
402 charges of cannibalism? Immediately banished to the suicide squad!
"As ordered!"
Shadow and the others responded in unison, their voices strong and clear.
Saya Takagi frowned, her face showing concern: "Is this many people a bit insufficient?"
Chang Wei smiled calmly: "This trip is not a major battle, and they are enough to handle it. If we really encounter a strong enemy, I can handle it alone."
"So, when do we set off?" someone asked.
"Tomorrow," Chang Wei replied succinctly.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts.
Suddenly, Chang Wei seemed to remember something. He looked at Nan Lixiang and asked, "I remember we captured three villains before. Where are they now?"
Nan Lixiang respectfully replied, "Captain Chang Wei, those three are under my strict supervision and are now on the verge of death."
Upon hearing this, everyone showed curiosity. Seeing this, Nan Lixiang recounted the three men's misdeeds one by one.
"Cannibalism!" Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in anger and indignation.
"Scum like them deserve to be executed by slow slicing!"
"They should be fed to the zombies!"
“What a scumbag!”
The crowd was outraged and disgusted by the brutality of the three thugs, especially women such as Hoshino Ai, Ishihara Satomi, and Ada Wong, who found it unacceptable to commit such cruel acts.
They hoped to eliminate these three cannibals as soon as possible to serve as a warning to others.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the hall reached a boiling point, and anger swept through like a storm.
Chang Wei waved his hands, signaling everyone to calm down, then turned sharply to Nan Lixiang and said in a deep voice:
"Take us to see it."
Nanri Xiang respectfully replied "Yes," and then led the way.
The crowd followed closely behind, each face etched with anger and discontent.
They arrived at a simple tin shack, and as soon as the door opened, a foul odor wafted out.
What came into view was a scene of utter chaos, filth everywhere, like an abandoned garbage dump.
Three emaciated people lay there, almost unrecognizable as human, their clothes torn, covered in wounds, and on the verge of death.
Hoshino Ai and the others frowned, clearly unable to adapt to this environment.
Chang Wei looked at Nan Lixiang, who explained awkwardly, "They haven't eaten a single grain of food since they were locked up here. We've only given them some water. And those people, because of their hatred for them, often beat them."
After listening, Chang Wei nodded to indicate his understanding.
Then, Nan Lixiang asked, "Captain Chang Wei, what should we do with these three?"
Everyone looked at these three almost inhuman guys, their faces revealing undisguised murderous intent.
In their view, even if this scum died a thousand times, it wouldn't be enough to quell their anger.
Nakano Tensei went even further, suggesting, "Captain Changwei, we should execute them by slow slicing in front of everyone as a warning to others!"
Just then, the three seemed to hear the murmur of the crowd, and with a weak effort, they opened their eyes and pleaded in feeble voices:
"Please forgive us... We know we were wrong, and we'll never do it again."
The red light in their eyes had faded considerably, quite different from when Chang Wei first met them.
Curious, Chang Wei used his skill to investigate and was shocked to discover:
"Half-corpses! These guys have mutated after eating a large number of corpses, and may eventually become mutated zombies! Their speed and strength will become extremely terrifying, they will be incredibly strong, and they will be impervious to blades and bullets!"
Upon hearing this, Chang Wei couldn't help but gasp: "It actually turned into that kind of thing!"
When Chang Wei first saw them, he did not use his abilities to investigate, thus missing crucial information.
Unexpectedly, yet another method to turn people into zombies has emerged, truly a series of misfortunes.
However, Chang Wei was fortunate that he discovered them in time and subdued them before they completely mutated.
"Hmph, what you have done is heinous, and even a hundred deaths would not be enough to atone for it!" Chang Wei said coldly.
"Exactly! It's against all reason!" Everyone echoed, having long since despised them.
A flicker of despair crossed the three men's eyes. They knew that if their plan was exposed, they would surely die, but they still clung to a sliver of hope.
At that moment, the words of the crowd were undoubtedly a death sentence for them.
Chang Wei remained silent for a moment, scrutinizing them, and his thoughts began to change slightly.
After everyone had vented, Chang Wei turned his gaze to the three people lying on the ground, barely alive.
"Do you really want to live?" Chang Wei suddenly asked, startling everyone who looked at him in confusion.
Does Chang Wei still intend to let them go?
"Chang Wei, what do you mean by this?" Takagi Saya asked in confusion.
"Tell me, do you want to live or die?" Chang Wei asked again, without giving a direct answer.
"Live! We want to live! We want to live!" A glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of the three men, and they nodded repeatedly, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope.
Would Chang Wei really let them go?
"Captain Chang Wei, they absolutely cannot live! These scoundrels must be eliminated, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain public order!"
Nakano Tensei, unusually assertive at this moment, directly retorted.
Although everyone was surprised, they all expressed their support, believing that such utterly depraved people should not be allowed to continue living.
Chang Wei sensed everyone's anger and explained helplessly, "Don't worry, it's not what you think."
“I was just thinking that since they are so eager to survive, perhaps we can use that to our advantage and turn them into our strength, rather than our enemy.”
Chang Wei said slowly.
In this era of moral decline and social disorder, there are probably many people like them.
While we could easily eliminate them, that wouldn't be the best option.
After hearing this, everyone was filled with doubt and looked at Chang Wei, anticipating his next words.
Chang Wei spoke calmly: "These sinners, even if they are torn to pieces, will not be able to wash away their crimes. But if we can let them play some value in the last moments of their lives, I think that would be more appropriate."
"Chang Wei, stop beating around the bush and tell us your plans!" the crowd urged anxiously.
"I plan to form a suicide squad and send these criminals into the fight against the zombies. This will both lighten the burden on our regular army and weaken the zombies."
"Once they join the suicide squad, they will never be able to leave unless they make a great contribution. Their treatment will be the lowest, and all the resources they obtain after killing zombies will be handed over."
