Killing a person is obviously simple, but keeping them alive and using them for your own purposes.
And without worrying about them posing a threat to you.
Isnāt it better to utilize the personās abilities as much as possible, to have them work for you?
Why did I kill Li Zhiqiang back then?
Because I was too weak, and Li Zhiqiang planned to report to Liu Erlong.
I had to kill to solve the crisis.
However, things are different now; Iāve grown strong to the point where few can threaten my personal power.
Why must I kill?
A single Parasite Species can easily resolve the issue.
Liang Yuanās way of enhancing his strength destined him to constantly expand his influence and manage his territory.
Only when the number of people under his command increases, can they bring him more Points.
The more Points, the more rewards he can exchange from the system.
Currently, Iām still halfway through to a Million Points.
The path of exchanging for Genetic Species still requires a significant amount of Points.
The Yangshan Shelter still needs to expand its population to work for him.
A good reputation will attract more people to his shelter.
Perhaps one day in the future, he wonāt even need to lead people to rescue others.
These people will voluntarily seek refuge with him at Yangshan.
Additionally, once his reputation improves, the loyalty of the people at Yangshan will naturally increase as well.
Of course, everyone hopes that their leader is a kind and loving person who cares for the people of the shelter.
"It seems, you guessed right."
Ding Yan suddenly spoke, sighing.
Liang Yuan looked towards Zhang Peng, only to see Zhang Peng already leading An Minghui, Gao Yucheng, and others towards him.
Although Zhang Pengās face was unsightly, there was no sign of murderous intent.
Instead, the young man named An Minghui showed a hint of relief in his eyes.
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Donāt forget to play the red face later."
Ding Yan rolled her eyes at him but still obediently nodded.
"Brother Liang, Sister Ding, I want to ask you for a favor."
Liang Yuan smiled, "Weāre all on the same side; no need to talk about favors, go ahead."
Zhang Peng sighed, "I want to ask Brother Liang to release An Minghui."
Liang Yuan looked at Zhang Peng, then at the furious Gao Yucheng and the silent Wen Xiao siblings.
He smiled, "Have you all discussed it thoroughly?"
Zhang Peng nodded, sighing, "We had a life-and-death bond after all, and he had no choice this time. If I were in his situation..."
He didnāt finish his sentence.
Ding Yan said sternly, "Zhang Peng, I didnāt expect you to become so indecisive. Didnāt I tell you when you were a captain at Building 76 that itās impossible to lead a team well without strict rules?"
"Today, this person has a good relationship with you, and you can forgive betrayal. Wonāt others think betrayal doesnāt matter in the future?"
Zhang Pengās face changed slightly, and he quickly said, "Sister Ding, thatās not what I meant, Iām just... unable to bear it."
Ding Yan sneered, "Fine, since you canāt bear it, Iāll kill him for you!"
With that, Ding Yan rose swiftly, raised her hand, and with a swoosh, a Moon Blade shot out with a puff.
She moved so quickly that Zhang Peng hadnāt even reacted, and An Minghuiās chest was instantly sliced open by a Moon Blade, with blood gushing everywhere.
An Minghui let out a shrill scream and collapsed in the pool of blood.
Zhang Peng, Gao Yucheng, and the Wen Xiao siblings were all startled.
Zhang Peng quickly shouted, "Sister Ding, stop!"
In his agitation, he blocked Ding Yanās way.
Ding Yan raised an eyebrow, shouted, "Zhang Peng, Iām helping you! You still want to stop me?"
Zhang Peng had always been afraid of Ding Yan back at Building 76.
Hearing this, his heart leapt, and he quickly knelt on the ground with red-rimmed eyes, saying, "Sister Ding, I know, I know youāre doing it for my own good, but An Minghui has been with me for two months."
"In these two months, if it werenāt for his Healing Superpower, I may have died several times already."
"He saved my life too, I, I canāt let him die in front of me."
Zhang Peng shouted with tears streaming down his face.
Ding Yanās face was livid, "Heās already betrayed you, heās no longer a friend, all past grudges have long been written off!"
"Just let him go this once, let it count as me repaying the life he once saved, Iām begging you, Sister Ding!"
Ding Yan was still gritting her teeth, enveloped in murderous intent, her palm glowing.
At this moment, Liang Yuan held Ding Yan back and sighed, "Zhang Peng, I understand your feelings."
"To be honest, I also find it hard to forgive those who betray me."
"You, ah, have more courage and magnanimity than me, fine, I respect your choice."
He walked over to An Minghui, who was in the pool of blood, desperately trying to heal himself with his Healing Ability, gently patted the otherās shoulder, and said, "Kid, youāre lucky you met Zhang Peng."
"If it were me, I wouldnāt be so kind-hearted, you can go."
He withdrew his hand, a Parasite Species had already silently been implanted in An Minghuiās body.
An Minghui endured the pain in his chest, and even though he was a superpower user of the healing type, he couldnāt fully heal the wound on his chest.
After all, Ding Yanās Moon Blade was too powerful; the wound had even exposed the bone.
An Minghui struggled to get up, panting continuously, and said, "Iām sorry, Brother Peng, and Yu Cheng, Wen Xiao, Wen Fang, I, Iām sorry to you all."
"I just... just wanted to survive."
He struggled to his feet and staggered towards the edge of the deck.
