"Damn it, you two sluts, who are these people chasing you? Why are there so many?" Sam put down the dagger in his hand.
He only chose to eat his own kind because he lacked food; his mind wasnât completely mad. Seeing this scene, he also felt a little timid.
He ignored the two women and walked directly towards the door.
Divya and Anjali also consciously distanced themselves from him, standing against the wall furthest from the door.
The two quietly watched Sam, who was standing at the door, speak.
"Stop knocking, big brothers outside, the people youâre looking for arenât with me. Just now, the two of them came outside my house, wanting to stay temporarily, but I didnât agree, and they ran off." Sam shouted nervously at the door, afraid that the people outside wouldnât hear him.
"Hmph, two cheap bones, still trying to use this trick to divert us." The five, having learned their lesson, did not believe him and instead focused on destroying the iron door.
Kuldeep continued, "Speaking of which, you two are really lucky. In the middle of nowhere, you can still have a Survivor covering for you."
"You like to meddle in other peopleâs business, huh? When I get in, youâll be the first one I kill."
Kuldeep had truly misunderstood Sam. He didnât want the few people to know that Divya and Anjali were inside, simply because he didnât want the food he had obtained to slip away for nothing.
Seeing that he couldnât bluff his way through and was even being threatened, Sam was left with only helplessness.
"No, no, no, gentlemen, letâs talk calmly. To be honest, the two women are in my house." After a quick calculation, Sam decided to tell the truth. After all, no matter how fierce he was, he couldnât take on so many people outside.
"Since you want them, Iâll help you tie them up. How about we consider todayâs matter settled?" His heart bled at the thought, but he had no choice but to give up what was already in his grasp.
Sure enough, upon hearing Samâs words, the people outside stopped pounding on the door, seemingly willing to compromise.
After a brief moment of thought, Kuldeep shouted from outside, "Alright, if you donât interfere, weâll let you off the hook. But besides the two women, all the food and supplies you have must be handed over to us."
Were they joking? They werenât good Samaritans. In this Wasteland World, even a passing dog would be stripped of everything, let alone a lone survivor like Sam.
"...Alright."
Normally, he was the one robbing others, but now that he was the one being robbed, Sam felt a surge of anger. Still, he could only grudgingly accept it.
He immediately turned his head, intending to tie up the two who had caused him such heavy losses.
However, Sam, who had been talking at the door, had overlooked the danger posed by the two women.
Just as he turned his head, he saw a pitch-black arrow flying towards him.
Before he could even raise his hand to defend himself, the arrow pierced his head.
"Puff!"
The arrow had entered precisely through his eyeball, and blood splattered out in an instant.
Sam was still in the motion of raising his hand to cover, but he quickly fell to the ground, lifeless.
Divya, who had shot the arrow, was clutching the compound bow Vikram had given her, trembling all over.
This was her first time killing someone.
The moment the arrow was shot, her mind was a complete blank, nothing else.
It wasnât until she realized she had truly killed a living person that sweat drenched her entire body.
Subsequently, Divya also sank weakly onto the cold ground, staring blankly at the motionless corpse in front of her.
Anjaliâs ability to cope was not much better than hers; even though she hadnât shot the arrow, her small face was now deathly pale with shock.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing? Havenât tied them up yet? If you donât send the stuff out to me soon, Iâm breaking down the door!" Outside, Kuldeepâs urging sounded.
Only then did the two come back to their senses. The sweat on their bodies quickly condensed in the extreme cold. They shivered, instantly becoming alert.
"Quick, Anju, find something to block the iron door." Divya knew this was not the time to be stunned. If the people from the Savage Wolf Shelter broke in, the two of them might suffer an even worse fate than Sam.
Divya and Anjali hurriedly moved all the heavy objects inside Samâs Shelter one by one to the doorway.
Wooden single beds, tables, and chairsânothing was overlooked, for fear that missing even one item would lead to the door being broken down.
During the moving process, it was impossible to avoid making noise, but they couldnât worry about that now.
As the last chair was used to block the door, only the two of them were left in the already empty iron Shelter, staring at each other.
The five people at the door finally realized something was wrong. Kuldeep Singh stepped forward and pushed the iron door.
The iron door, which had been dented by his subordinatesâ blows, now remained completely unmoved under his forceful push.
"What the hell, what does this mean, blocking the door?" Thinking he had been tricked again, Kuldeep Singhâs face turned ashen.
"Fine, fine, fine, so all of you want to go against me today, do you?"
"Then thereâs nothing more to say, break down the door!" With a wave of his hand, the people behind him swarmed forward.
The sound of the iron door being struck echoed once again across the snowy ground.
Kuldeep Singh also didnât stand idle. He circled the outside of the Shelter, confirming there were no other exits, before finally relaxing.
Coincidentally, Shaliniâs message arrived at the same time.
[Shalini: How is it? Is it handled?]
[Kuldeep Singh: Donât worry, Big Sister, what problems could there be with my work?]
[Kuldeep Singh: If it werenât for my bad luck today, with some idiot pulling this âhero saving the beautyâ stunt, those two girls would have been brought back by me long ago.]
He explained why he hadnât succeeded after so long, incidentally covering up his embarrassment at being toyed with by two young girls.
[Shalini: Then hurry up. Those two girls must have called for help in the group chat.]
[Shalini: Itâs been over two hours since they escaped; rescuers might be arriving soon.]
Although Shalini had been kicked out of the group chat, she was already well aware of all the groupâs habits and conveniences.
[Kuldeep Singh: Hmph, how could such a coincidence happen? This area is so vast, and a Survivor just happens to be near her Shelter.]
[Kuldeep Singh: Besides, what if they come? Donât you know my strength, Big Sister? Rare-grade creature isnât a match for me alone.]
[Kuldeep Singh: Itâs best if they donât come. If they do, theyâll just become souls under my blade.]
Confidently typing out this message, Kuldeep Singh unconsciously pulled out his treasured alloy long saber.
The alloy blade reflected a dazzling flash of light on the snow, and from his eyes, it was clear how much he cherished this weapon.
He had spent a fortune to acquire this weapon; though it was also of Rare grade, it was in a completely different league from an ordinary Iron sword.
Even among the few minor leaders in the Savage Wolf Shelter, not everyone possessed one, which was enough to prove its preciousness.
[Shalini: In any case, itâs always good to be careful. The members in the group are more formidable than you imagine.]
[Kuldeep Singh: Alright, Iâll pay attention.]
Pursing his lips, Kuldeep Singh was quite dismissive of Big Sisterâs fussiness, clearly not taking it to heart.
"Boss, this iron door is blocked too tightly; we canât budge it at all. Our brothersâ weapons are almost blunted," one of the subordinates behind him said.
Kuldeep Singh looked in the direction of the voice, only to see that after half an hour, the iron door, apart from a pile of new scratches, had barely deformed further.
"Who told you to hack at the door with knives? Just cut down a tree trunk by the roadside and use it to ram the door!" Kuldeep Singh was truly concerned about the intelligence of his subordinates.
The subordinates slapped their heads awkwardly, thinking, "Didnât you tell us to go straight for it?"
They grumbled internally but dared not show it, quickly cut down a log by the roadside, and the four of them began to ram the door together.
"Bang!"
Indeed, this time the previously unmoving iron door finally reacted; they could clearly see the door crack open slightly.
Seeing the excellent effect of the tree trunk, their actions became even more vigorous.
