Apocalypse Chaos - I am the villain



At this point, Delmor realized that his kindness will not always be appreciated.

These people felt that it as Delmor's responsibility to provide for them. They didn't care if it was dangerous for him to go out, they only cared if he brought back food or not.

Delmor shook his head and said: "It's dark now, I couldn't find food, you have to wait until tomorrow morning, I'll go out again to gather more supplies."

"I need some people to follow me to gather supplies, anyone want to follow me?"

Suddenly, the crowd fell silent, each one voluntarily taking a step back.

Delmor frowned and said, "How? Don't you want to look for more food?"

A young man, feeling a little embarrassed, said: "Delmor, I… I hurt my leg, it's a little difficult to move. If I follow you, I will cause you a lot of trouble, that's why…"

"I…" Another said: "I am a girl, how can I fight the zombies out there. I think… This job is more for a boy."

"That's right. We're girls, we can't fight Zombies."

"So what the hell are you going to be doing? We have to go out to fight the Zombies, but you guys will hide in a safe place and enjoy?"

"Us Girls can work, we can clean and take care of this mansion."

"Yes, you are men, you must protect women as men."

"Huh! What law says that men must protect women?"

"You..."

"Enough!" Delmor suddenly shouted, he felt a bit of a headache, no, to be more precise, extreme headache and fatigue.

What the hell is going on?

He took a deep breath, let out a long sigh, then said: "You guys get ready, tomorrow everyone will be divided into groups to go with me to collect supplies."

"Whether it's a girl or a boy, you have to work."

"But…" Another girl spoke up: "I… I feel like a girl…"

"What's your opinion?" Delmor's gaze turned cold and sharp, making the girl feel a little scared.

She trembled and said, "No, I don't..."

"This is not the same as before. Now, the apocalypse is coming, the rules are broken, and there aren't any rules or regulations here."

"I will help you survive, but you cannot sit idly by and enjoy. Everyone has to work, understand?"

Everyone who heard Delmor's voice threateningly nodded.

In fact, the people in this place were all cowards and they could be easily manipulated by others.

Why?

Because if they were easily persuaded by Delmor to come to this place for refuge, they were not brave people.

They were just looking for a safe place to live. Of course, Delmor probably also noticed this, he also recognized the cowardice of the people here.

If not, after Delmor said those things, they might have worked together to overthrow him or drive him out of this mansion.

However, they did not do so, which means that they did not even have the courage to protest.

Like the 'silence of the sheep'.

Delmor didn't care about them anymore, he turned his head and headed to the 3rd floor, as he didn't care what they thought.

Even if they were to leave this place it would be even better, that way he would feel less guilty than if he actively abandoned them.

Delmor went up a few stairs, then stopped, turned his head and said to everyone: "If anyone wants to leave this place, you should go tonight, otherwise, tomorrow you all have to work, and face the Zombies, Understand?"

After saying that, he turned his head and went upstairs, leaving the crowd speechless.

…

In a room on the 3rd floor.

Woof! Woof!

Before Delmor could knock on the door, a barking came from inside, making him frown.

Fortunately, this place was on the 3rd floor, so the bark of a small dog could not be transmitted far.

The door opened, and Rina saw Delmor, but her expression was not one of surprise, but one of slight discomfort.

"What did you come here for?"

Rina's voice was filled with annoyance, Delmor could only shake his head when he heard that, but he replied: "I have come to bring you some food."

"Food… give it to me."

"Aren't you going to let me in?"

"You hate dogs, there are dogs in the room, I don't want you in." Rina said, it was as if she was trying to chase Delmor away.

Hearing Rina mention dogs, suddenly, a thought popped into Delmor's mind.

He smiled and said, "No, I don't hate dogs. On the contrary, Rina… you like that dog right?"

Delmor's expression made Rina frown in alarm: "You… What are you going to do? I won't allow you to harm that dog."

"Hahaha… you misunderstand, of course I won't harm it, on the contrary, I will make it easier for it to survive in this world."

Delmor took out from his pocket an energy crystal the size of a thumb, held it in front of Rina and said, "Do you recognize this?"

Rina saw the stone in Delmor's hand and nodded. While running out of the city with him, she also saw Delmor take the stones from the Zombie's brain.

Besides… Just as she was leaving the city entrance, Rina also met Hikaru. Even though at that time she was angered by Hikaru to the point of crying, she still paid attention to what he said.

He also said that humanity's last hope lies in such stones.

Delmor laughed and said: "This stone is called 'energy crystal', inside it contains a bizarre amount of energy, which can help ordinary people possess superpowers."

"However, there is also a probability of making them monsters. This stone is both good and bad, however, this is our last hope."

"You also know how strong the zombies are out there, they will not just be zombies forever, they are also evolving to become stronger."

"If we can't be stronger than we are now, no matter how hard we try, we will end up becoming the meal of the monsters out there."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"Of course I understand." Rina frowned and said, "I'm not stupid either. So… that has nothing to do with me."

Delmor shook his head and said, "No, this has to do with you and that dog. Do you know what I came across while searching for food just now?"

"What?" Rina asked, confused.

"It's a Zombie dog."

"Zombie dog?"

"That's right. That said, animals are also affected by zombie viruses. But it also says that animals can also possess superpowers."

Rina heard a little doubt: "Are you sure?"

"Of course." Delmor said confidently: "However, success or failure can only depend on yourself and your dog."

Rina suddenly realized something and frowned: "Do you consider that dog a test subject?"

Delmor shrugged: "So what? Rina, you also know that the fact that you brought that dog is affecting the people around you."

"Those people look at you with eyes filled with disgust and displeasure. Besides… you can't take care of it like this forever."

"Then… help it become a powerful existence, like that, you can also silence all the people outside."

"They even have to worship you, pay attention to you, and consider you as their savior."

Hearing Delmor's words, Rina's confidence began to shake: "But… what if it fails?"

"Rina, do you… don't you have faith in your dog?"

Rina was immediately startled hearing that, then lowered her head in thought.

Delmor smiled, knowing that Rina was an extremely arrogant person who always considered herself the center of the universe.

That's why his words hit her arrogance.

Either way, whether it fails or succeeds, it's Delmor who benefits the most.

If the dog turns into a zombie after using the energy crystal, then he has a good reason to kill it.

At that time, he would be able to stabilize the psychology of the others because he solved the dog problem.

If the dog possesses a stronger superpower, then he also has a reliable ally that can help him fight zombies.

Moreover, because of that, Rina would also appreciate him, and trust him more.

Either way, it's Delmor who benefits the most.

After thinking for about 10 seconds, Rina suddenly raised her head to look at him and asked, "So… how should I use this stone?"

Delmor laughed and said, "It's simple, just let it swallow this stone. However, you should also be careful, in the process of digesting this stone, you should leave it alone."

"Why?"

Delmor shook his head and said, "I don't know what evolution will happen, if it turns into a monster, at least then you've hidden in a safe place."

Rina frowned and said, "It won't turn into a monster."

As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed Delmor's stone and closed the door, entering the room.

Delmor shouted: "In that case, let me be by your side, so I can protect you. Or if something happens, I can help you too."

Hearing that, Rina opened the door again, looked him in the eyes and said, "Come in!"

Delmor went inside and saw Rina laying the puppy on the old sofa.

Although that chair was very old, it seems that Rina has cleaned the chair so that the dog can lie comfortably.

However, except for that chair, the rest of the room was still full of dust and cobwebs.

Delmor shook his head, not wanting to focus on other matters.

Rina approached the small dog, gently stroked it and said, "Sorry to have to do this to you, but I don't want people to hate you, I don't want them to see you as a nuisance."

"So… please, eat this."

Rina brought the stone to the dog's mouth, and Delmor sighed at this. If that dog could take the initiative to swallow the stone, he would probably walk on his head.

The dog sniffed the stone, and after a while, suddenly it opened its mouth to bite the stone, then chewed it as easily as candy.

Delmor: "…"
