Chapter 41: If You Want to Hate, Hate the Heavens


    Trantor: 549690339


    Xingyuan County.


    The twelfth floor of Xingyuan Building.


    The entire floor had been converted into offices. Before, there used to be fourpanies operating here.


    At this moment, the doors of threepanies were tightly closed. Only the door of the Cylinder Customer Service Center was wide open now, which was quite the opposite of the usual state!


    In the Cylinder Company, the tables and chairs, which used to be neatly arranged, were now randomly scattered around. Someputers had fallen from the desks they were previously on. At the moment, several pale women were lying there in turn, staring nkly at the ceiling, their eyes vacant, and arge swath of their tender skin was red and swollen.


    In front of these people stood Brother Dog and his two followers who had juste up from the seventh floor.


    In another corner, thirteen men and an old woman were kneeling with fear, trembling like frightenedmbs. Among them, besides the employees from the twelfth floor, there were four frail inte addicts who had alsoe up from the seventh floor.


    Not far from them, on the ground,y a man’s corpse, surrounded by dark red blood that had spread out around it.


    Clearly, upon arrival, Brother Dog had quickly established his dominance, even killing a resistor to serve as an example to the others!


    After Brother Dog and his two followers finished their deeds, they approached the group of fourteen people with their knives in hand.


    “Brother Dog, what should we do? Should we kill all these people?” The tattooed man stood there brazenly without his pants on, posing the question.


    “Kill my ass, you think you’re Bai Qi or something?”


    Brother Dog cursed, and while on the way up, he had been thinking of how to deal with these people. He believed that no guarantee could be as strong as having them co-offend with him.


    He addressed the tattooed man: “You fool, why not just let them do the same thing we did?”


    After saying that, he turned to the fourteen people kneeling at his feet and said, “You all heard what I’ve said, didn’t you? Go and do exactly what I just did. By doing that, you will be one of us, and I will spare your lives. If you refuse, you’ll end up just like the bastard on the ground…” “Brother Dog, what should we do with that old hag?”


    “Tie her up for now, we’ll deal with herter!”


    Soon, under Brother Dog’s coercion, the thirteen men, who were kneeling down, each took his turn with the five women lying on the floor,mitting the same deeds Brother Dog had.


    “Don’t me me, it’s not my choice!”


    “If I don’t do this, they’ll kill me. You’ve seen what happened to Old Zhang…”


    This statement seemed to bring the women, who were previously in a daze, back to reality. They red fiercely at their former colleague facing them.


    Soon after, the thirteen men finishedmitting their crimes one after another, making Brother Dogugh contentedly, “Well done, now you are just like me…”


    Seeing Brother Dogughing, they also startedughing along. Those with quick wits even quickly pledged their loyalty.


    “Boss, from today onwards, I swear I won’t go west if you tell me to head east!”


    “Same here!”


    “Hahaha! ”


    Seeing the formerly high-ranking corporate men acting like dogs, Brother Dog couldn’t help but burst outughing and continuously nodded, “Good job!”


    At this time, the tattooed man reminded him, “Brother Dog, we still have that old hag over there!”


    Brother Dog nced at the elderly woman trembling in the corner who had been tied up so much that she couldn’t move, and sneered, “Just kill her, she’s of no use anyway!”


    His two followers immediately shrank back. Compared to Brother Dog, they still didn’t dare to actually kill someone.


    “Cowards!”


    Upon seeing their cowardice, Brother Dog kicked them both to the ground and then looked at those kneeling down.


    “Whichever of you kills that old woman can be my second-inmand…”


    The crowd looked at each other, finding it extremely difficult to ept thismand to kill.


    Suddenly, one man stood up, a fierce look in his eyes as he loudly asked, “Brother Dog, do you mean what you say?


    Brother Dog, who had initially prepared to do it himself, was intrigued when he saw someone actually step forward. He looked at the man with interest and said with a smile, “You’re their boss here, right?”


    The man nodded, “People used to call me Boss Yang. Now, I am Brother Dog’s underling. You can call me Little Yang!”


    Brother Dog was very satisfied with this response. He passed his knife to him, assuring, “Rest assured, once you kill the old woman, the position of my second-inmand will be yours from today onwards!”


    Now the terror on Little Yang’s face had vanished, leaving only excitement.


    He knew the end of the world had trulye and there was no turning back!


    After witnessing Brother Dog’s superpower, he was astounded and started to view Brother Dog as the chosen one.


    Upon hearing Brother Dog’s words, he was immediately reassured and began to feel hopeful for the future.


    He even started to look down upon the others.


    That he had been able to reach the position of boss was notpletely aboveboard and his conscience had long been thrown to the dogs. Now an opportunity wasid before him, and he was confident that it was a chance for him to turn his fortunes around once again!


    Little Yang took the knife from Brother Dog and slowly walked up to the bound old woman.


    Although the old woman’s hands and feet had been bound and her mouth gagged, her ears were working fine. She knew what he hade to do.


    At this moment, she struggled frantically, her eyes filled with fear.


    Seeing her like this, Little Yang was somewhat perturbed. He couldn’t help but talk to muster up some courage.


    “You’re so old anyway, you don’t have many days left to live. You might as well let me kill you, for my sake…”


    “The end of the world hase, your life in this world is nothing but suffering,


    I’m doing you a favor by relieving you…”


    “If you have anyone to me, me yourself for not going home at the end of your shift…”


    “If you have anyone to me, me the arrival of the end of the world and the world’s transformation…


    With each statement, Little Yang’s heart became colder and his face became more fierce.


    “You don’t want to die, and neither do I. If you want to hate someone, hate God!”


    Finally, after finishing hisst words, he drew the knife across the old woman’s throat.


    “Swoosh!”


    Blood sttered all over Little Yang’s face.


    The old woman wasn’t dead yet, and she kept on squirming on the ground, like a chicken with its throat cut, her body shaking involuntarily…


    He wiped the blood from his face and, far from showing fear, he started cackling sinisterly.


    It took Du Gang and others a full two hours to reach Xingyuan County while driving along County Road 1438. It was almost three in the afternoon when they finally arrived.


    Just as they entered the town, they spotted the tallest building in the distance. Du Gang pointed at it and said to An Ya, “That building over there with over a dozen floors, that’s where we’re going!”


    Upon closer inspection, he saw four words written on the top of the building:


    Xingyuan Building..
