A... girl?
Chapter 157 [Ruthless Killer]
The girl had long black hair and wore clothes that were clearly Japanese in style, but besides being wrinkled and tattered from being soaked in seawater, they were also torn in countless places. She was also wearing a tattered men's jacket, and... what made the men drool was that the girl's delicate body was almost half-naked...
Her face was fair and delicate, with a small nose and cherry-like lips, giving her a charming and pitiful appearance. Her petite figure, though slender and delicate like that of an Eastern girl, was remarkably well-proportioned. What was even more remarkable was her astonishingly large chest, which was almost too much to be contained by her tattered men's jacket.
only……
Strangely, even though she was unconscious, the girl was still tightly gripping a dagger in her hand.
"Wake her up!" the white man said immediately.
One of them went up and gently patted the girl's cheek.
This girl looks a bit childish, like a young girl who hasn't reached adulthood, but... damn, that figure is infuriating!
He slapped her twice hard and flipped her over.
The man who had made his move was already drooling over the sight of the half-naked girl who had drifted ashore from the sea. The tattered sampan was clearly from the Victoria – meaning this girl was also a survivor who had escaped from the ship? As he lifted the girl up, he inevitably touched her roughly, taking advantage of her. Just as he was about to go further, he noticed the white man standing to the side, coldly watching him with unfriendly eyes. He quickly suppressed his lewd thoughts and obediently turned the girl over…
These villains weren't originally some heinous criminals. It's just that after encountering a shipwreck, in that desperate situation, they inevitably disregarded civilized rules in order to survive.
Most of the men on the ship turned into thugs while fleeing for their lives. They fought each other, committing acts of violence and even murder, all in an attempt to seize a spot on a lifeboat.
Originally, during the escape, the lifeboats were meant for the elderly, women, and children to board first. But these men, in the chaos, relied on their strength and vigor. Several even jumped into the sea and seized a lifeboat—leaving most of the original occupants, the elderly and women, mostly kicked into the water. In their desperate struggle for survival, they committed such a heartless act. No one felt any remorse; after all, survival was the priority. When eyes are bloodshot, who cares about anything else?
Then, the lifeboat was occupied by a dozen or so men. Unfortunately, there were originally two young girls left on board. When these thugs seized the boat and kicked people overboard, there was finally enough room, and the two girls were spared—but their fate was even more tragic!
The people on this ship had neither food nor water at sea. Starving, they were naturally tempted to commit beastly acts!
People often do crazy things before they die! And that white man was the strongest and most powerful on that ship. After the laws of civilization disappear, what remains is the naked law of the jungle! Whoever has the strongest fist is the law!
The storm had left some rainwater on the lifeboats. It was barely drinkable, but there was absolutely no food!
Moreover, after being blown away by the storm, it's unknown where the lifeboat has drifted off to.
After two days of starvation, the white man finally made his move, and the last two girls on the ship were doomed...
Its poor, delicate body was turned into "food" by its own kind!
The white man was vicious and ruthless, resorting to coercion and bribery, using rather crude methods. Yet, he managed to turn the dozen or so men on the ship into beasts: they all killed together! It was during the hijacking of the ship. They kicked everyone overboard; everyone did it! If they were investigated later, everyone could be considered a murderer!
The two girls on the boat were witnesses! If they want to have an easy time in the future, they have no choice but to kill them to silence them!
Moreover, since we're going to kill them anyway to cover it up... and there's no food right now, we might as well kill them and eat the corpses... that would be making the most of them.
Moreover, a group of men, on the verge of madness, also need to vent their fears and near-collapse pressure... At such times, wouldn't a woman be the best outlet?
On a lifeboat were a dozen men who had turned into beasts and two innocent girls.
I've been wandering around for a few days.
No one knows what kind of tragic fate those two poor girls suffered, or how they died so tragically.
However, the bloodshed and bestial acts turned these dozen or so men into a deformed and perverted little group!
They were clearly a group of humans from the civilized world, but at this moment, they had turned into what seemed like a primitive pack of wild beasts, with the white man as their leader.
After fiddling with her for a while, the girl who had been rescued from the sea finally cried out and spat out several mouthfuls of seawater before slowly waking up.
"Tie her up!" the white man shouted immediately. Two of his companions rushed over, one holding her shoulders and the other her legs. They also tore off the straps of the life jacket she was wearing and quickly tied her hands together. As for the dagger, the white man had already taken it.
“We…” One of his companions glanced at the white man, licked his lips, and looked at him with a hint of fear in his eyes. “We’d better get off this island quickly… With this girl, we’ll have enough food for a few days at sea.” The white man was furious, but he looked timidly at the woods on the island. “Leave? How can we leave? There are no big trees on this damned island, we can’t even build a raft! That leaky, broken lifeboat will probably sink after only a few nautical miles!”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, "So much time has passed, and that guy hasn't caught up... Maybe we're right, he's probably done for!" His eyes flashed as he stared at one of his men, "You! Go check out the situation in the woods!"
The person he was staring at suddenly felt their legs go weak and almost fainted from fright!
Should we go back and take a look?
That terrifying young man from the East killed people like chickens, his methods ruthless and bloody. His attacks were incredibly fierce! Everyone witnessed it! Of their fourteen companions, half were gone in just two or three moves against that guy!
Should I go and investigate myself? What if I get caught? Would I even survive?
But just as she was about to refuse, she saw the white man in front of her holding a dagger, staring at her with hostile eyes. She then dared not utter the words of refusal.
These past few days at sea, everyone has known how ruthless this white man is! Those two women on the ship were the first people he killed! And after killing them, he was the first to eat human flesh!
Looking at the white man's face, he couldn't bring himself to say "I won't go" to his subordinate. A chill ran down his spine. Finally, he forced himself to agree, found a tree branch, and cautiously walked into the woods.
Chen Xiao's profuse coughing up of blood stunned Zhang Xiaotao and the others. Zhang Xiaotao desperately tried to cover Chen Xiao's mouth with her hand, but blood still flowed out from between her fingers.
"Is there...is there any way..." Zhang Xiaotao cried with tears streaming down her face, but Chen Xiao lay there with his head tilted to the side, and the look in his eyes still seemed to carry that kind of energy that made people both angry and resentful, so faint and indifferent, as if he didn't care about her life at all.
That hateful brat... even on his deathbed, he was still so heartless!
Chen Xiao had been dragged back into the cave by Zhang Xiaotao, who pulled him into the most sheltered spot inside—the "best" location. This spot originally belonged to the four women. Chen Xiao's display of power, killing with a flick of his wrist, was too shocking. Now that Zhang Xiaotao had taken the spot, the remaining three women, stunned, dared not utter a word. They simply trembled in their corner.
Fireworks, standing nearby, didn't say much, but helped Zhang Xiaotao settle Chen Xiao down.
After vomiting a lot of blood, Chen Xiao finally stopped. However, his breathing was weak, and he was clearly exhaling more than he was inhaling.
Although Zhang Xiaotao wasn't a doctor and didn't understand medicine, she could tell from this that Chen Xiao probably really couldn't hold on this time.
"It's a pity. If he hadn't used that Angel Potion, given his physical constitution, even with such severe injuries, he could have held on for a few more days. Maybe he could have survived until someone came to rescue us. Now that he used the Angel Potion, its potent effects have actually cut off his life force..." Fireworks finally spoke. But what she said was definitely not good news.
At this moment, the people inside the cave were still in a state of shock. Without anyone to rely on, suddenly, from outside the cave, behind a thicket of bushes, came faint sounds of screams and groans.
