Chapter 163 Akiko's Thinking
The crowd who heard Delmor immediately felt extremely angry, however, Delmor was being reasonable.
But humans are strange animals. Even though they know they are wrong, they won't accept it.
"You.. You are crazy. In the old villa, at least we still had a place to hide from the cold, now we have to stay outside, and there is nowhere for us to warm up."
"That's right. Look around, it's all forest and snow, the temperature right now is probably down to -10 degrees Celsius."
"I want to go back to the villa, huhuhu.."
Delmor glanced at the people around him, then said in an annoyed tone: "At first, you all agreed with my opinion, but now you want to go back."historical
"Okay, anyone who wants to go back can get out of here. Anyone who wants to follow me can stay."
Hearing that, the crowd began to worry and feel a little scared. In fact, the people in this place were cowards who wanted a safe place to live, so they followed Delmor.
With Delmor as their leader, they could survive in this harsh world.
Without Delmor, they didn't know what to do. They didn't even know where to find more food or where to find supplies after using up all their food reserves.
To be more precise, the people who followed Delmor were useless and they could not survive on their own in the apocalypse.
At this moment, a young man suddenly came out of the crowd and shouted angrily: "You brought us here, and now you want to chase us away, what do you want?"
"I'm the one who should ask you what you want." Delmor frowned and said: "It seems... you are the one who encouraged them to oppose me, right?"
"You.." The young man suddenly took a step back. He looked around, and when he did not see Alec's appearance, he became more confident.
"That's right. So what? We're just doing the right thing. We had a safe place, but you gave it up, then you led us hundreds of kilometers to an unknown place."
"Delmor, I feel that you are not fit to lead us. Your decisions are full of mistakes, I think.. I should be the leader."
"Oh! It seems.. are you planning to play the game of thrones with me?" Delmor's face remained calm, however, his eyes that were fixed at the young man were filled with murderous intent.
That young man was not afraid either, he glanced at Rina and Akiko, his face showing extreme greed.
"That's right. I feel that I am the best leader. I.. can.."
BAM!
Before the young man could finish his sentence, Delmor's fist hit him in the face.
Delmor put all of his strength in that punch and of course, the power of an evolved person is extremely terrifying.
The power contained in Delmor's was so terrible that it caused the young man's head to shatter, shreds of flesh, blood and brains flew everywhere, and splashed onto the people standing around.
The man's head was broken, leaving the lower jaw and tongue slightly twitching, but a moment later, the young man's body also fell to the ground.
When the surrounding people saw this scene, they were scared and some even vomited.
The scene before their eyes was too horrifying. This was the first time they had seen someone who could smash another person's head with just a fist.
Akiko and Rina were also scared. As for Rina, this was the first time she was witnessing such a terrible scene.
Even horror movies didn't have scenes this terrible.
"Oeh!!" Rina vomited. She held her throat with one hand and her stomach with the other, as she vomited continuously.
Akiko was better, after all she was a police officer and she often saw dead bodies and murders. However, when she saw the scene before her eyes, she could only frown and cover her mouth.
Her stomach felt like it was growling, the food that was digested wanted to rush out of her mouth through the way it had entered.
Luckily Akiko was able to control herself, however, her eyes were focused on Delmor.
'Delmor.. why have you changed so much?'
Akiko felt extremely confused. At first, Delmor radiated an extremely bright aura that made people feel warm and secure .
Thanks to that, Akiko trusted and followed him, moreover she created a base for survivors with him.
However, just a few days had passed, and Delmor had changed to the point that Akiko could no longer recognize him.
At this moment, as Delmor stood before her she could not feel any warmth or trust.
Instead there was horror, brutality and dictatorship. Delmor seemed to just want everyone to listen to his opinion instead of listening to everyone else's opinion.
Akiko suddenly felt a bit regretful about following Delmor.
'Laylah.. what are you doing now, is Hikaru treating you well?'
At this moment, Akiko also felt that she was useless and weak.
During the most dangerous times, when she couldn't fight, Laylah was her protector.
The same thing is happening now. While everyone needs a better leader, she could do nothing but watch Delmor dominate everyone with his brutality.
Delmor, after killing someone, felt very comfortable. That's right, he didn't feel scared or nauseous, and he didn't even have a feeling of guilt in his mind.
Instead, Delmor felt extremely comfortable. It was as if he had let go of all the anger and negative emotions he had been holding back for so long.
Delmor breathed a sigh of relief..
'It seems... killing people is also a way to relieve stress.'
'But.. this power is also too terrifying. One of my punches crushed an adult's head. So how strong is Hikaru?'
At this moment, Delmor suddenly felt that Hikaru was an extremely terrifying existence.
'Luckily I didn't become his enemy, otherwise, I'm afraid the next person to die would be me.'
Delmor shook his head, as he did not think about it anymore. He looked at the faces full of fear and anxiety of the people around him and said: "Who among you wants to be a leader, stand before me."
The crowd was silent. Fear engulfed them all. It seemed like they weren't just shaking from the cold, they were also shaking from fear.
Everyone's faces were pale, their mouths were open, as they did not know what to say.
After a while, no one said anything.
"If no one objects, let's continue our journey to Ukko city. I hope we will not encounter any similar cases."
"If there is someone who wants to test my patience, this is their outcome."
Delmor said as he pointed to the headless body of the young man lying on the ground.
The crowd immediately nodded continuously.
Delmor then turned and entered the car, Akiko also followed him. Rina thought for a long time and decided to get in another car as she did not want to sit in the same car with Delmor anymore.
Inside the car, Akiko sat in the passenger seat, she looked at Delmor and said: "You... Why did you kill that young man? We could have talked, discussed, listened to everyone's opinions and then.."
"Afterward?" Delmor said contemptuously: "Akiko, I don't know if you are naive or stupid. Didn't you see that bastard's eyes?"
"His eyes were filled with greed and lust. He even paid attention to Rina and you, what do you want me to do?"
"I should sit down, discuss with him how to strip off all your clothes and then eat you like a dish?"
Hearing that, Akiko gritted her teeth, but she didn't answer because Delmor was right.
Akiko also noticed the young man's eyes filled with greed and lust.
"But.."
"Akiko!" Delmor suddenly interrupted Akiko: "If you decide to follow me, I advise you to listen to what I say, and do what I want."
"I know you feel uncomfortable when I kill people easily. However, the world now is different from before."
"If I didn't have the strength, if I were weak, the person lying on the ground right now would be me, not that young man."
"I also don't have enough time or patience to listen to what weak people say and need."
"The weak serve the strong, the strong give them a safe place to live and protect them, that's enough."
"Do you understand, Akiko? This world is a forest without rules. The strong are the ones who write the rules for this forest."
"In this day and age, there is no place for pity or kindness. Those things will only make you die faster."
"Akiko, if it weren't for me, you would be a sex toy in the hands of someone thanks to your stupidity and kindness."
"What do you want next? Do you want me to feed them for the rest of their lives? Do you want me to take care of them like a volunteer worker who takes care of the elderly in a nursing home?"
Akiko bowed her head silently because she knew what Delmor was saying was right.
It's just... Akiko still couldn't accept those truths. She was trying to hold on to what little humanity was left of humanity.
But it seems.. that she was wrong.
And of course, if what Akiko believes is wrong then what Delmor is doing is right.
Only brutality and strength can rule this world in the apocalyptic age.
Akiko bowed her head and said: "I... I understand."
"Good! I hope you can help me create a base for the survivors."
"But.." Akiko suddenly said: "Why don't we build a base just for ourselves?"
"No! Akiko, you don't understand." Delmor shook his head and said: "We need to create a base for the survivors. It's not just for myself."
"What do you mean?" Akiko frowned, feeling extremely confused.
"Hahaha.. you will understand then."
