Apocalypse Chaos - I am the villain



Aron and the others laughed in satisfaction. The light from the candles and flashlights made their smiles appear as greedy and cold as the demons of Hell.

Kateb clenched his fists, and furiously grit his teeth, but then, he took a deep breath, and released his hand…

He looked at Sanym, bowed his head and said: "Sorry, I can't protect you."

Sanym shook her head, grit her teeth, and tried to endure the terrible pain that was tormenting her.

After that, Kateb quickly put all the first aid tools in the backpack and put it on his back. He gently picked up Sanym and said: "Sorry, you just have to endure it."

He looked towards Hikaru and Laylah and said, "Sorry, I can't help you."

Hikaru and Laylah just silently followed Kateb, they didn't want to interfere, anyway, they weren't so hungry that they had to beg.

"Wait!" Aron suddenly shouted: "That girl can stay, you and the boy can go."

Aron looked at Laylah with a greedy expression, as if he definitely wanted her.

Kateb angrily shouted: "Enough, Aron. I don't want to hurt you, but I don't want to scare you. If you keep pushing me into a dead end, I'll risk endangering your life."

Kateb's gaze frightened Aron. He gulped, as he did not dare to say anything more.

However, when Hikaru saw that Aron was still holding the knife in his hand, he knew that Aron had not given up on taking Laylah.

He glanced at Laylah, and felt a bit frustrated. Even though Laylah was the main character, it was a very troublesome matter when someone possessed such great beauty.

"What do you mean by that look of displeasure?" Laylah said, a little annoyed.

"Nothing… it just feels like your beauty is causing a lot of trouble." Hikaru didn't hide it, as he spoke his mind.

Laylah pouted, she glanced at Aron, then in the other direction.

Although Aron could have kicked Kateb out, it was Kateb who was voluntarily leaving this place as it was not that Kateb was afraid of him.

Therefore, Aron understood that he was not Kateb's opponent. Even if everyone here rushed in, they wouldn't be able to hurt Kateb.

What Aron was taking advantage of is Kateb's kindness.

Seeing that Kateb and the two strangers had left this place, Aron sighed. However, he still felt a little angry, he should have kept the beautiful girl, because Kateb threatened him so he couldn't do anything more.

'Black bastard, he thinks he is  special because he has powers… Huh!'

"Aron, what do we do now?" Suddenly, someone spoke up, interrupting Aron's thoughts.

He turned his head, looked at the survivors, and secretly smiled in satisfaction.

Of course, he had come up with all the plans, or else he wouldn't have sent Kateb away.

"Everyone, don't worry. We can unite to live in this place temporarily."

"Kateb has killed all the zombies in this place around, as long as we don't make too much noise we should be safe in this place until the army comes to save us."

Hearing Aron's words, everyone nodded, feeling reasonable.

"But…" Another person stammered: "What about Chovic's group? We can't resist them."

Aron shook his head: "Don't worry, those thugs are on the second floor, they definitely don't know that Kateb has left."

"As long as we continue to be silent, and hide in the warehouse, that group of thugs can't do anything to us."

"Is the army going to save us?" Another asked.

"Of course…" Aron replied with absolute certainty: "The army will surely come to our rescue. No matter how many zombies that come they can't win against guns, tanks and especially bombs."

Everyone who heard this nodded, they felt that Aron's answer satisfied and reassured them.

"Aron, thank you. I hope you can lead and help everyone here survive."

"Yes, Aron, thank you. Although Kateb possesses special powers, he is too stupid."

"Huh! He's just a black bastard who dares to see himself as our leader."

"Correct! He Just has a little more power than other people. In the face of a gun, everyone's the same, so being stronger than the average person won't help!"

Listening to the people here talk, Aron smiled, he felt that he really possessed power.

"Okay…" Aron said with a smile: "In case of danger, I think we should move some food to the building opposite."

"If this place is attacked by Chovic or Zombies, we will have another place to hide."

Hearing Aron's words, the crowd immediately widened their eyes and looked at him with eyes filled with admiration.

…

Outside, Kateb carried Sanym in his arms, and quickly headed for the opposite building.

"Wait!" Suddenly Laylah said: "That apartment used to have a lot of people, so there must be a lot of Zombies there."

Kateb was startled when he heard that, he felt that what Laylah said was very reasonable: "So... where do we need to go?"

"There is a small clinic not far from here, take her there. At least, there is more medical equipment in that place than the whole apartment building."

Listening to Laylah's words, Hikaru and Kateb both felt that it was extremely reasonable. This time, Laylah led the way, and Kateb and Hikaru followed her.

"It hurts! Please…let me give birth to the baby…"

Sanym groaned in pain, Kateb tried to reassure her by saying: "Wait a minute, just a little bit more and we'll be safe."

Sanym nodded, she grit her teeth, as she tried to suppress the pain. Even though she was in so much pain that her body felt like it was being torn to pieces, she still didn't scream.

Because Sanym didn't want to cause more trouble for everyone. She bit her teeth so hard that it bled.

After more than 200 meters, they saw a small clinic. The three of them immediately rushed over, Laylah walked in front, and kicked the window.

Inside there were 3 Zombies, two nurses and a doctor of this small clinic.

Kateb was about to put Sanym down to deal with the zombies when Hikaru spoke up: "Don't worry, you better take care of her."

Hikaru had just finished speaking when the wind howled, and Kateb couldn't believe what happened next.

He saw Laylah just wave her hand, and the heads of the  three Zombies were severed, it flew into the air and fell to the ground.

"There… that is… Laylah…"

Kateb wanted to say something but Hikaru interrupted: "Don't worry too much, take her into the room."

Kateb tried to calm down, then carried Sanym inside a small room. Inside the room was extremely clean, the medical equipment was also still new and complete.

He put her on the bed, then Laylah said: "You guys go out..."

Kateb was a little surprised: "But…"

Hikaru put his hand on his shoulder, Kateb turned his head to look at Hikaru, then the two went outside, closing the door.

Kateb sat on the ground, and clasped his hands in prayer. This act of Kateb reminded Hikaru of a saying.

Prayers at the hospital are more numerous and sincere than prayers at the church.

Perhaps… Only when a person is standing in front of the boundary between life and death, is their prayer the most sincere.

"Just now… why didn't you kick those people out of the supermarket? You're much stronger than them, aren't you?"

Kateb shook his head: "No… I… I can't do that. I…"

"Kateb… I know I can't meddle in your decisions or manipulate you to my will." Hikaru said, "However, this world has changed."

"Look at Sanym now… she was betrayed by her own husband, he even wanted to kill her."

"You protected them but you were betrayed by them. Is what you're doing right?"

"But…" Kateb stammered, "I… I don't want to be a murderer. Even though…"

"Kateb… did you know that our bodies already have cancer cells?"

"Heh?!" Suddenly, Hikaru changed the subject so that Kateb couldn't keep up. He shook his head…

Hikaru continued: "Every day, our bodies make countless new cells, however, new cells are not always perfect and useful."

"There are a few damaged cells, and it will turn into the cause of cancer."

"However, our bodies are also amazing. It produces its own warriors to destroy those  cells."

"You can see… our bodies know how to protect themselves, why can't you protect yourself?"

Kateb was startled when he heard that, due to this he didn't know how to answer Hikaru.

"I know, you are a good person. However, a good person and a weak person are two completely different concepts."

"It's just as if you saved a serial killer even though you already knew who he was. After that, the killer continued to kill people."

"So… you indirectly helped that murderer kill more people."

"I… no, I will…"

Hikaru shook his head: "You don't need to explain. Your personality if you put it in the previous world, it's a noble personality."

"However, this world has changed. The end of the world will come, humanity will disappear, and the worst of humanity will be revealed."

"If you continue to maintain your nature, I fear you will die. If you don't die, the people you love will also be in danger because of your decisions."

"Kateb, what would you do if you met your son's murderer again?"

"Kill him? Or choose to forgive him?"

Kateb was silent, he didn't know what to choose.

For many others perhaps this was a simple matter, as they would certainly choose revenge.

They would choose to kill those who endanger them so that they can be safe.

However, sometimes the answer won't be so simple if it's someone with a special mentality, Kateb is that kind of person.

He is very kind, his kindness is his character and even his dao.

To change Kateb's mind is extremely difficult. At the very least, he must have a shock to realize that what he is doing is wrong.

Hikaru continued: "Kateb, murder is not a bad thing, at least in a world like this, killing has become a normal thing."

"It's just… What's the purpose when you kill people? Do you kill the wicked to protect the rest of the world or do you kill everyone?"

"It's like antibodies in our body that are killing cancer cells every day, every minute, every second."

"If we don't destroy the bad ones, they will gradually spread wider. At some point, the cancer will spread everywhere, then you can only wait for death."
