Chapter Seven: The Human Heart

  Zhou Yue did this not out of arrogance, but because he had gained experience from killing those dozen or so evil spirits earlier. He found that these seemingly terrifying evil spirits were not actually that scary, and at most had an advantage in terms of speed and their sharp claws. Now that he was jumping onto the roof of a nearly 1.7-meter-tall off-road vehicle, he was essentially avoiding the evil spirits' speed and claw attacks. And with the柴刀 (chopper) in his hand, he could naturally inflict massive damage on these evil spirits!

  Those evil spirits moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they all rushed over. The low growls made people's scalps numb, and the sharp claws scratched against this brand new off-road vehicle with a "screech screech" sound. I reckon the car owner upstairs must be heartbroken!

  But Zhou Yue didn't care about these, and was even more ruthless. Taking advantage of the terrain, the sharpness of the柴刀 (chái dāo), and the protection of the wooden shield, he unleashed a flurry of fierce slashes. In an instant, three more evil spirits were killed. At this point, he had already killed twenty evil spirits. Without warning, a very comfortable warmth flowed through his limbs once again. This was because he had leveled up to 2nd level at this moment, and his life value had reached 14 points. The two free points rewarded by the level-up were added to his agility attribute without hesitation, bringing it to 13 points!

  At this time, Zhou Yue's heart was extremely excited, and the feeling of fear that he originally had also flew away. Using his 13-point agility, he jumped and dodged on top of the narrow train carriage, advancing and retreating, using his left hand to hold up a wooden shield to block, and his right hand wielding a chopper to slash horizontally, truly killing with abandon!

  By the time Zhao Dashan, Li Dan and three others rushed downstairs, more than a dozen evil spirits had been killed by Zhou Yue. At this moment, among other survivors who were paying attention to Zhou Yue, there were also brave and quick-witted people who carefully took out various weapons and rushed out, after all, no one was stupid, they could also see the attribute changes on Zhou Yue's body.

  However, Zhao Dashan, Li Dan and the girl did not go forward to support Zhou Yue. They didn't even notice her. After observing the situation in front of the building for a while, they rushed over. Zhao Dashan and Li Dan were carrying fire axes, while the girl was holding a crossbow, forming an inverted triangular formation.

  Due to Zhou Yue's previous attraction, the number of evil spirits in the front building district has become slightly sparse. Zhao Da Shan and Li Dan are both extremely powerful, and with their fire axes spinning around, they can take down even two evil spirits at once in the blink of an eye. As long as they don't get dizzy and attract all the evil spirits over, their killing power is even stronger than Zhou Yue's! They can absolutely wipe out more than 50 evil spirits in the front building district in a short period of time.

  As for the other survivors who were also quite bold, they charged forward to the front building district and killed the evil spirits. Although they couldn't compare to Zhao Dashi's trio in terms of combat power, they wouldn't be too far off either. As long as they killed two evil spirits, they would level up, and their strength would continue to increase like a snowball effect.

  However, Zhou Yue's situation was not good, as there were still over 20 evil spirits surrounding the off-road vehicle. With so many of them desperately squeezing together, the entire vehicle was constantly shaking violently. If his agility hadn't reached 13 points, with extremely fast reaction speed, he would have been thrown out long ago. Even so, his legs and arms had been scratched by several terrifying wounds. If these evil spirits had infectious abilities, he would have been done for this time.

  However, Zhou Yue remained calm and composed, his mind growing increasingly serene as he wielded the hatchet, striking down evil spirits one after another. The hatchet's sharp blade proved particularly useful, severing many of the evil spirits' claws, which would have otherwise been a nuisance.

  It wasn't until Zhou Yue's health had dropped to a perilously low 1 point that he finally managed to kill off all the evil spirits surrounding him. At this point, he was so exhausted that he couldn't even hold onto his wooden shield, and directly collapsed onto the roof of the carriage, barely clinging to life.

  But at this time, the survivors who had been watching from the surrounding buildings rushed out with a loud noise. First, it was just a few people, but soon it became a large crowd. They snatched up all the small bags that had fallen around the off-road vehicle. Zhou Yue was left staring in amazement, and at this moment, he didn't even have the heart to curse. It seemed that no one was foolish!

  Don't dare to argue with these people, Zhou Yue strongly supported himself by grabbing an apple to eat, because at this time he only had 1 point of life left, and anyone who cut him with a knife would make him play completely, after all, the law does not blame the crowd is traditional!

  "Son of a bitch, you're going to pay for my car! This is my brand new Range Rover!"

  Just as Zhou Yue had eaten two apples and restored his health to 3 points, a loud roar suddenly came from the crowd. It was the car owner who had been jumping up and down on the upper floor, scolding loudly earlier. He now held two kitchen knives in his hands, staring at Zhou Yue with fierce eyes that seemed to be emitting a menacing glow. If not for Zhou Yue's previous brutal method of killing the evil spirit, he might have already rushed over by now.

  But even so, his shout was enough to gather the attention of everyone around him. The people who had originally been eyeing Yue's dropped items with some trepidation were now looking at her with a glint in their eyes!

  The car owner seemed to have sensed this, and his momentum suddenly surged. He waved the two kitchen knives in his hand and roared: "This is my new car, it's not even a week old, and now you've smashed it like this? Is there still any king's law? Today you must give me an explanation, or else, use that knife in your hand to compensate!"

  The car owner also had a good eye, and just now he personally witnessed this unremarkable cleaver chopping the evil spirit like cutting vegetables, and he could also see the properties of the cleaver, so at this moment he naturally had thoughts.

  It's not just the owner of this car, but also many people in the surrounding crowd who can't help but show a look of envy. They too can see that Zhou Yue's previous swagger was at least half due to the credit of this axe. Unconsciously, the crowd began to move forward.

  At this moment, Zhou Yue was so angry that his teeth were clenched. He knew very well that if these people were alone, they might not have had the courage to come forward and rob him. However, with a large number of people gathered together, their courage grew, and with the so-called tradition of "the law does not blame the crowd", they would not care about what is right or wrong, nor would they care about Zhou Yue's previous actions. As long as there was benefit to be gained, they would dare to rush forward in a swarm, especially when he was still so weak at this moment!

  Zhou Yue knew he couldn't just sit and wait for death, and in a flash of inspiration, he suddenly let out a loud laugh and said: "Alright, the car was smashed by me, I'll compensate you. You want this knife? I'll give it to you, take it!"

  As soon as the voice fell, Zhou Yue suddenly exerted a bit of strength that had just been restored in her body, and directly bounced up from the top of the off-road vehicle, rushing straight at the owner of the car!

  The sudden change left all the onlookers in shock, including the car owner, who was only a level 0 or 1 after all. Faced with Zhou Yue's fierce attack, they instinctively wanted to dodge backwards.

  However, Zhou Yue wanted this moment, when the car owner also retreated a step back, Zhou Yue had already pounced like a big bird, and even didn't use his left hand's wooden shield. His right hand's cleaver just made a light slash forward, and it cut through the car owner's neck, suddenly blood splattered everywhere. The car owner struggled twice and fell to the ground, still ***, with eyes full of horror and incredulity. He was afraid that he had never thought that Zhou Yue would actually dare to take action?

  "Murder!"

  "Help! Call 110 quickly and report it!"

  The car owner's splattered blood finally scared the surrounding crowd, although they had been watching the evil spirits tearing human bodies before, but at this moment, the bloody scene still made them feel chilled to the bone. Especially Zhou Yue's icy gaze without any emotional color, it made them retreat one after another, and then flee in an instant, as if Zhou Yue was a more terrifying existence than the evil spirit!

  Zhou Yue felt an unprecedented calmness in his heart at this moment, it was the first time he had killed someone in his life, but somehow it felt no different from killing those evil spirits!

  He cast a cold glance at the car owner who was still struggling to breathe, then turned and walked away. He wouldn't let himself fall into that kind of danger again. Evil spirits were terrifying, but human hearts were even more frightening!
