The place suddenly went very quiet. Everyone had witnessed what happened and no one wanted to provoke that woman. She was definitely not to be messed with.
"Even though she is in a different body and a different era, her personality has not changed at all. Sheâs as ruthless as ever when she comes across scumbags." The girl in Sonnyâs group muttered under her breath to which the man dressed like some celebrity standing next to her nodded.
"Sheâs as fierce as ever. I wonder what those idiots did to make her so pissed." The man wondered out loud.
The people around them heard him and also had the same question in their minds.
The people who had bled almost all their blood on the ground were still hanging on to their last breath. Nobody wanted to die, so they still had some hope that someone would come and save them.
That was why they had not succumbed even though it was obvious at this point that they couldnât live any longer.
Just as Leng Pan raised her hand to turn the mist she produced into extremely hot mist and burn them into evaporation, a shout came from a distance away.
"Stop!" It was a shout that also carried authority. One could tell that the person who shouted had both authority and training.
Leng Pan turned to look at the direction the voice came from and saw a few soldiers coming towards her.
There were five men and one woman, all dressed in military uniforms. Leng Pan didnât know any of them, but she knew that she wouldnât stop killing those losers just because soldiers showed up.
This wasnât the peaceful era where crimes could be punished by law. Now, only the law of the jungle prevailed and the soldiers should already know that.
"You shouldnât kill people indiscriminately." A male soldier walked up to the people on the ground and looked at them before raising his head and saying those words to Leng Pan.
Leng laughed sarcastically when she heard that.
"Maybe you shouldnât defend people indiscriminately. Killing these scum is doing humanity a favor." Leng Pan didnât want to argue with them but she wouldnât let them label her as some unreasonable witch who killed without consideration.
"No matter what they have done, the population of humans is already very low, killing fellow humans will only make that situation worse." The leader soldier reasoned.
Leng Pan understood this thought and if these people hadnât crossed her bottom line, she wouldnât have bothered with them.
"Do you even know why I have done this to them? Why I am getting rid of them?" Leng Pan asked while looking at that leader with disdain.
The other soldiers, seeing how their leader was treated having followed him for years, felt indignant for him. No one has ever disrespected him that way.
However,the leader wasnât very angry. He thought that at least Leng Pan didnât just ignore them and continue with her earlier plans.
If they could talk her into abandoning that plan then maybe these people could be saved.
"I donât know what they did but I believe it isnât as bad as reducing the human population further." The leader said to Leng Pan with confidence.
"Where do you get that mysterious confidence from? I can assure you that if these people remain alive, then the human population will lose even more humans." Leng Pan retorted to the leader as soon as she heard his statement.
The people around them were surprised to hear such a declaration. What did she mean by keeping them alive will cause more losses to humanity?
"What do you mean?" One of the female soldiers asked with some curiosity and scrutiny.
She hadnât seen anyone who didnât have some fear in them when meeting soldiers holding guns at close proximity.
But this girl didnât seem to take them seriously at all. In fact, it looked like she didnât take anyone there seriously.
"They are not even a group of ten people, but if they are left to live, the people they will kill would probably be many times that number." Leng Pan said the leader once more.
"Why are you saying something like that, itâs like you can tell the future or something. Please donât make our job more difficult." Another soldier said.
"How many young girls do you think they have killed or ruined? Can you ask yourself that question before pretending to be righteous?
These people donât even show an ounce of mercy when they humiliate, torture, and kill fellow humans. And these are the kind of people you are protecting because you think dying would reduce the human population?
You might be saving more people instead." Leng Pan reprimanded the soldiers and raised her hand to summon the water ability and kill those people.
If she couldnât get rid of them with the hot mist, she could simply drown them to death.
"What did you say?" The female soldier asked in surprise.
The people around them were also surprised. They had not expected to hear such gossip. It looked like things werenât as simple as they looked.
"I was their next target, but they picked the wrong one. And no matter what anyone says, I wonât let such cancer continue to fester in the current situation.
There are no laws to restrain such people. So, they will continue to do evil. I have no intention of letting such people continue to live." Leng Pan emphasized her opinion and it was clear to everyone that she wouldnât give up.
Just as the soldiers were about to continue convincing her, Lu Zhen and his assistant came back in the truck.
Seeing them approach, she smiled happily. She didnât have to face these people alone.
Seeing her smile like that, the people around felt mesmerized. They had not expected that the person who had been killing people a moment ago had such a beautiful smile.
The truck came to a stop and Lu Zhen, having noticed that a situation seemed to have occurred around his wife, got out in a hurry.
