Vulture Knives was a group under five leaders. Those five leaders were strong that they could kill the zombies, including the monster dog.
They could gather food easier than the others and used their ability to invite people to join their group. The surprise was that Vulture Knives was a big group. Over five hundred people had joined the Vulture Knives.
Tang Shaoyang was surprised to hear how big the group was. Li Shuang was part of Vulture Knives, she was doing menial work for the group. Washing the others' clothes, carrying the heavy stuff for them, and cleaning the room for the people with a high position in the group.
Despite the heavy workload, she managed to earn enough food for herself and her daughter. She managed to survive in the harsh environment. It did not last long as she caught one of the goon's attention.
The main reason she and her daughter escaped from the group. Causing her to be chased by the monster dogs. That was her story and the reason why she did not want to go back to the group.
However, Tang Shaoyang managed to convince her. He promised to protect her, and for some reason, she did believe in him.
"There!" Li Shuang pointed at the tall building and big building. There was a sign dangling on the building and the bottom floor seemed to be the department store.
She had explained why people joined the group despite the harsh environment. They had food to control the people.
Tang Shaoyang scanned the surroundings with his [Spirit Eyes], locating the people around the building. They wore police vests, something they got from the police station. Li Shuang had explained that as well.
They had guns as well, from a pistol to an automatic rifle. Of course, not everyone could hold a gun. Most of the people had the emergency ax and some sort of knives as their weapon.
They were not dangerous for Tang Shaoyang, at all, "Follow me, closely," he told the woman as he walked to the entrance of the hotel.
"Are you sure this is okay? You better don't mess up with them, they have real guns," Li Shuang reminded the man. However, Tang Shaoyang did not heed her warning. She decided to follow him, it was not like she had other choices. The man was reliable so far.
"Halt! Who are you!?" The entrance was guarded by a group of seven people. A man quickly noticed Tang Shaoyang and Li Shuang. He approached them while raising the emergency ax to the air to warn the incoming uninvited guest.
Tang Shaoyang scanned the incoming man, average face and in his late twenties. There was nothing special about the man. He did not have mana inside his body as well. Nothing noteworthy from the man except for his lusting eyes who kept looking at Li Shuang.
Li Shuang hid from the man, staying behind Tang Shaoyang.
"Do you want to join our group? I can guarantee a comfortable and safe room for you and your daughter. You will be given free food for the first month without doing any work," the guard's eyes never left Li Shuang for a single second.
"Haha, look who's trying to scam a newbie," a loud voice echoed from the building. Another man came out from the building.
A man with a big build, holding the same emergency ax, and also showed off the handgun on his waist. The man easily shoved the guard away and confronted Tang Shaoyang head to head. Despite his big build, the man was still shorter than Tang Shaoyang.
Purposely showing his pistol, the man directed the emergency ax at Tang Shaoyang's chin, "This is how you get a woman to your bed. Give me your woman if you want to live!" The man threatened Tang Shaoyang with his croaky voice.
Tang Shaoyang could feel the little girl on his chest trembling in fear. He rubbed her back gently and whispered, "It's okay. This uncle will protect you and your mommy from the bad guys."
None of his subordinates would believe that Tang Shaoyang had a gentle side. The man who did not bat an eye when killing people would be this gentle to a kid.
Li Shuang was also nervous and terrified. She knew this would happen. Her hands were gripping Tang Shaoyang's clothes lower hem. She gripped it tightly.
Tang Shaoyang turned around while shaking his head. He handed Jiaying to her mother and whispered to the woman "Don't let her see what will happen next, it's not appropriate for her, a little bit bloody." Li Shuang could only nod her head repeatedly.
"Are you deaf or what? Or do you want to die? Either way is good for me," the man grinned as he raised the emergency ax. The man was trying to intimidate Tang Shaoyang. This method usually worked well.
However, the man was surprised that Tang Shaoyang did not even blink his eyes in front of his ax. A frown formed on the man's forehead, 'The man is challenging me! Do you think I will not dare to hack you?'
With a vicious glint in his eyes, the man hacked the ax down toward Tang Shaoyang's shoulder, "I will cripple you and will f*ck your woman in front of you! This is the price for challenging this Daddy!"
Li Shuang opened her mouth, she wanted to scream but no voice came out of her mouth. Just like that, she watched the ax fall to the man's shoulder.
"Huh!?" The surprised yet confused gasp flowed from her mouth. She expected the ax would cut the shoulder, that was supposed to happen in her mind yet the ax bounced back.
Not only her, the man who tried to hack Tang Shaoyang was surprised as well. But then he realized something, "So you have rubber armor under your clothes, huh!? That's why you dare to challenge this Daddy? You have chosen the wrong opponent!"
Hearing the man's words, the guard and Li Shuang looked toward Tang Shaoyang's shoulder. No matter how she looked at it, the man did not like wearing armor underneath the clothes.
