Chapter 7

The turkey head's face immediately fell, and with a stern look, he scolded with a head full of black lines: "Stinky country bumpkin! Don't be ungrateful! You common people who can't appreciate us, get lost!"

Shi Ruoyu had heard that Shamates (a subculture) called those who couldn't appreciate their beauty "country bumpkins" or "commoners." He quickly pulled aside the "model patient" Ren Guobin.

He asked curiously, "Are these brothers Shamates? Then I'll call everyone 'Shaxiong' (Shamate brothers). You all look unfamiliar; I haven't seen you in town before..."

The turkey head didn't answer. A guy with all-white hair, covering eighty percent of his face and exuding a ghostly aura, said in a sharp voice, "Damn! We came here for a Shamate gathering and to recruit a few 'Xiangsha' (rural Shamates), but we encountered this damn thing! Can't we even live in peace?"

(Explanation: Xiangsha, short for rural Shamates, are usually considered more rustic than urban Shamates and are often looked down upon...)

A cold sweat trickled down Shi Ruoyu's forehead. He wanted to say something, but the ghostly white-haired guy sneered, "Alright, you can scram! This is our territory now! If you don't leave, don't blame me for being unfriendly!"

Shi Ruoyu didn't expect such a hostile attitude! Before he could speak, Ren Guobin couldn't stand it and shouted, "What do you mean, you want to be warlords? Ah! I'll tell you, warlords are already gone! Don't go against the flow of history!"

The ghostly white-haired guy sneered, "What the hell are you rambling about?! Don't say I didn't warn you, our leader 'Longsha' is a superhuman!"

Shi Ruoyu thought to himself, no wonder so many people in town died, but these Shamates survived. It turns out they have a superhuman among them! He couldn't help but take a closer look at the turkey head.

Ren Guobin said, "What do you mean, you don't want to join forces with us to fight the Japanese? Can you fight them on your own? Do you know how many Japanese are out there? Nanjing is about to fall!"

Shi Ruoyu was speechless. This guy's change of topic was really hard to follow. He switched to the Anti-Japanese War...

The one speaking was still the ghostly guy, who sneered, "Shut up, there are limited resources here. We can barely feed ourselves, let alone you. Get lost, you burdens!"

The turkey head raised his hand to stop the guy's insults and said coldly, "Gusha, shut up!"

Then he turned to Shi Ruoyu with a cold gaze, "Gusha's words are crude but true. I'm sorry, but I can't protect you. The clinic has enough medicine, but not much food. Who knows when help will come? We're relying on this to survive!"

Shi Ruoyu's face turned grim. The human nature in this post-apocalyptic world was more surprising than he expected. He thought survivors, being a vulnerable group, should stick together for warmth.

Seeing the turkey head speak, Gusha became even more brazen, cackling, "Get lost! We didn't kill you outright, that's being nice! Hey, this girl is pretty. Boss, why don't we keep her?"

Shi Ruoyu was shocked by his words and couldn't help but worry, but he was more concerned about Gusha than Shen Wenting...

He cautiously turned to look at Shen Wenting, who was gently wiping her Nokia phone, seemingly not paying attention to their conversation. He felt a bit relieved.

Ren Guobin couldn't hold back anymore, shouting, "CNMD, I knew you Nationalists couldn't forget your grudge against the Party! I'll take you down!" As he spoke, he swung his bizarre weapon at the white-haired Gusha!

Gusha didn't expect such ferocity, and he was taken aback. Due to his long involvement in the Shamate subculture, his combat skills were extremely low. He stumbled back several steps, barely avoiding the attack. Just as Ren Guobin was about to strike again, a pale hand grabbed his weapon—it was the turkey head!

The turkey head's face showed a hint of a cold smile, and he said calmly, "Don't move, or you'll regret it!" As he spoke, there was a loud explosion! Everyone was stunned; Ren Guobin's weapon had exploded!

Fortunately, Ren Guobin reacted quickly, letting go of the weapon and retreating several steps. Otherwise, he might have been blown up! He shouted, "Damn, there's gunpowder! If I had a gun, I'd sit on the sofa and shoot you all down!"

Shi Ruoyu didn't have time to deal with his nonsense. His face turned serious. What kind of superhuman ability was this? So destructive!

The white-haired Gusha laughed, "Now you know, whatever Longsha touches, it explodes. This time it was your weapon; next time it'll be your head! Leave the girl, and the rest of you, get lost!"

Shi Ruoyu couldn't take it anymore. He raised his right hand, and five thin threads shot straight at the turkey head!

The turkey head reacted quickly. His basic physical abilities had likely improved with his superhuman awakening. He instantly sidestepped, and with a tearing sound, his clothes were ripped into five pieces. He grunted and quickly threw something at Shi Ruoyu. Before Shi Ruoyu could see what it was, it exploded in mid-air!

Fortunately, Shi Ruoyu was prepared. As he attacked with his right hand, his left hand had already grabbed a beam. With the turkey head's attack, he pulled the thread, and his body soared into the air, narrowly avoiding the explosion!

Looking up at Shi Ruoyu hanging in mid-air, the turkey head sneered, "Underestimated you, you're a superhuman too!"

Meanwhile, seeing his leader in trouble, Gusha looked around and saw that their numbers were clearly superior. He roared, "Brothers, attack! Take care of those few first, then help the boss!"

The Shamates immediately responded, charging at Ren Guobin, Ye Yizhou, and Shen Wenting!

Gusha quickly scanned his opponents. Ye Yizhou was tall and strong like a small mountain, and Ren Guobin, though slender, was full of strength. These two were clearly tough. The weakest looked to be the delicate girl! Ah Chou, the ugly dog, was ignored...

Without hesitation, Gusha charged at Shen Wenting!

Meanwhile, Shi Ruoyu, hanging in mid-air, was also in a tough spot. He was severely injured, and his whole body ached. This guy was hard to deal with; he couldn't get close, or he'd explode!

Fortunately, he had his thread ability, but his other three companions and Ah Chou couldn't fight this guy at all! Thinking of this, Shi Ruoyu decided to quickly lure him away!

He grabbed with his right hand, and five threads slashed horizontally! The turkey head knew his ability was powerful and didn't dare to be careless. He grabbed a wooden board nearby to block! Instantly, the board was torn into pieces, and wood chips flew everywhere!

The turkey head didn't stop, using this opportunity to charge at Shi Ruoyu, trying to grab his ankle!

Shi Ruoyu, hanging from the beam, moved like a spider. He swung lightly, just avoiding the attack. However, this swing pulled at his wound, and he had been badly hurt from the fall from the fourth floor. Doctor Shi let out a painful cry and fell from the roof!

The turkey head couldn't miss such a good opportunity and was about to pounce on him. Suddenly, a deafening scream came from behind him, and Gusha flew back like a cannonball, crashing into the clinic's door with a terrifying thud!

The turkey head, stunned, ran over. Gusha's once-proud white hair was now disheveled, his face covered in blood, looking like a distressed white-haired witch. The turkey head checked his breathing; he was still alive. Gusha, spitting blood and moving his sausage-like lips, stammered, "That woman... so... so scary... damn, I miscalculated... damn!"

The turkey head looked up and saw Shen Wenting walking toward him with a cold smile, and behind her, several of his companions were already lying on the ground, disoriented.
