Apocalypse: I Have One More Keyword Than Others

Chapter 111: The number 111 stands for “Kindness is comparative_1”.

Chapter 111: The number 111 stands for “Kindness is comparative_1”.

“Nobody move, those from the charity organization, put down your weapons and squat on the ground with your hands on your heads.” A group of people suddenly rushed out of the underground garage, and the security team leader shouted loudly, interrupting the conversation between Duge and Geng Zhong.

Geng Zhong turned around, shielding Duge behind him instinctively.

There were already thugs in security uniforms snatching food from the crowd’s hands while frightening them, “What are you eating? Don’t you know how precious resources are? Unfair distribution will lead to everyone starving in the future.”

“Didn’t you hear me? Put down the knife in your hand and squat with your heads in your hands.” The security team leader’s crossbow was pointed at Duge because of the distance and the noise from the loud speakers, he did not hear the conversation between Duge and Geng Zhong.

With his back to him, he also missed the scene where Duge had squeezed a wrench into a ball with his bare hands.

He only saw the fewer than fifty employees of Charity Limited Company, and with more than a hundred thugs under his control, the three-to-one ratio filled him with boundless confidence to devour the gift that had fallen into his lap.

Goodness is being bullied.

Duge, who showcased kindness and was engaged in a good deed, naturally became the security team leader’s primary target.

Doing good deeds makes one feel happy, Gu Kun and the others had their charitable acts interrupted, each sending an angry glare at the security team leader while ignoring his crossbow, quickly gathering around Duge.

Knowing the boss’s true strength and possessing the key phrase “mockery” that could heal wounds, the employees of the charity organization now faced danger fearlessly.

Gathering around Duge was an instinct of loyalty.

They would not allow anyone to harm their CEO, even if the CEO was a tyrannosaur disguised as a sheep.

…

“Be smart and follow my orders,” the security team leader pulled the trigger, and a crossbow bolt whistled out, shooting towards Duge.

Geng Zhong, who stood in front of him, changed his expression abruptly, “You dare…”

His voice came to an abrupt halt.

The crossbow bolt stopped right in front of his eyes.

Somewhere along the way, Duge had already stood by his side, firmly grasping the shaft of the bolt with one hand.

Geng Zhong suddenly remembered the scene of Duge bending the wrench with his bare hands and felt his face heat up. He had actually tried to block an arrow for such a powerful figure. What was he thinking?

“The ones you want to get rid of, are they?” Duge scanned the petrified security team leader and asked.

“Yes,” Geng Zhong said fiercely, “In these days, they have hoarded food, humiliated women, and committed many evil deeds…”

Without needing him to say more, Duge understood what kind of actions despicable people in control of weapons would take in a post-apocalyptic world. He interrupted Geng Zhong, “Let’s talk about the matter of agents later. Give me your loyalty, and I will sell you the strength and agility of five people.”

“Okay,” Geng Zhong agreed promptly.

As the words fell, the deal was struck.

In an instant, Geng Zhong felt his body filled with strength.

Duge smiled, “Go on, young man, uphold justice! But, you might need to get used to your strength first.”

The security team leader finally recovered from the shock of Duge catching the arrow with his bare hands.

He suddenly realized that the person in front of him was not some benevolent individual, but a true demon.

The thought that he had fired an arrow at a demon made the security team leader’s pants dampen involuntarily as he begged Duge incoherently, “No, big brother, my lord, I was wrong, please spare me, sir. I am better than him, my loyalty can also be sold to you, no, my soul can be sold to you too…”

“It’s too late, the moment you abused those women, I wanted to kill you,” said Geng Zhong as he clenched his fists, feeling the powerful energy within his body, he coldly addressed the security team leader.

“You f*cker…” The security team leader, seeing Duge’s indifferent attitude, was moved by anger and viciously pulled the trigger, sending out more than ten arrows in an instant, some aimed at Duge, some at Geng Zhong.

Having realized that Duge was not benevolent, the effect of Goodness Is Being Bullied naturally vanished, and Duge was no longer the sole focus of firepower.

As he pulled the trigger, Duge’s figure blurred and he left his original position.

With a whoosh, Geng Zhong also sprang to the side. His body, unaccustomed to the increased agility, leapt far away, staggering and even looking a bit embarrassed as he dodged all the arrows.

Realizing he indeed possessed immense strength and agility, the anger that had built up over days finally erupted.

Geng Zhong turned around and looked at the security team leader with a hint of a smile on his lips. The wrench twisted into a ball by Duge was still in his hand, which he now hurled fiercely at the security team leader.

The iron ball whistled through the air like a cannonball, striking the security team leader squarely in the chest.

The security team leader was just an ordinary man and had no chance to react to the flying iron ball.

Crack!

His breastbone completely collapsed inward.

With a scream, the security team leader fell backward, his limbs twitching uncontrollably.

Geng Zhong didn’t even glance at him; he turned again and threw himself at the other malicious security guards. Like a tiger among sheep, every punch and kick thrown ensured that someone fell.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden explosion of Geng Zhong’s power.

The crowd, who had sold their strength and agility, watched Geng Zhong slaying mercilessly, forgetting even to chew the bread in their mouths, staring wide-eyed. It was true; their power had indeed been taken by the other side.

It turned out that Qi Feihu was not a fool; they were…

Thinking of what they had lost.

For a moment, many people felt that the bread in their mouths was no longer as fragrant and sweet.

…

Watching the suddenly ferocious Geng Zhong, Yao Tong couldn’t help swallowing his saliva. He then glanced at Duge’s back and suddenly felt that he should do something more to ingratiate himself with Boss Du.

Buying attributes from him seems much quicker than him grinding out the alternatives!

Bao Benwei was also watching Geng Zhong. He blinked several times, recalling his conversation with Duge, and felt that even his loyalty might not be unsellable.

After all.

Feng Qi was a man of miracles.

Better to first blend in as one of Duge’s own so he could buy more from him. Anyway, the body in the simulation field was virtual; except for spiritual power, it seems everything else could be sold…

…

“Spare me, don’t kill me, I was forced.”

“Spare me, I was wrong.”

“Don’t kill me, I had no other choice!”

…

Geng Zhong suddenly became a superhero, and he indeed started killing people. The remaining followers of the security captain scattered in terror, throwing away their weapons, only to remember the mutated beasts outside after running a few steps, so they ran back instead.

Thump, thump, they knelt on the ground, crying and begging Geng Zhong for mercy.

After knocking down a few people and venting his rage, Geng Zhong swept his gaze over those kneeling and begging for mercy. He sighed, stopped, and slowly walked back to Duge’s side.

Duge sized him up.

Geng Zhong’s hands were covered in blood, and the skin on the back of his hands was torn. His arms were trembling non-stop, probably due to muscle contusions.

Clearly, his physical condition hadn’t kept up with the sudden increase in strength. He had seriously injured his enemies, but he had also suffered severe injuries himself.

As expected.

The attributes obtained through trading were too one-dimensional and couldn’t compare to an all-around boost from a keyword.

To turn Geng Zhong into a Superman, it was necessary to equip him with corresponding spiritual power, recovery ability, bodily strength, and sensory perception…

Duge shook his head, came over to the security captain, squatted down, and asked the dying man, “Do you want to recover your health?”

“Save… save me…” Seeing Duge approach, the security captain spat out blood and managed to squeeze out a few words.

“Alright, wait for me a moment,” Duge said with a smile, standing back up and calling out loudly, “You criminals kneeling on the ground, do you want to regain your freedom? To have me pardon your sins?”

“Yes.” The people were trembling, but they agreed to Duge’s deal.

“Would you be willing to trade one third of your strength, agility, recovery ability, bodily strength, and spiritual power to buy your freedom and lives from me?” Duge continued asking.

This time.

Everyone was silent.

Duge had proven with irrefutable evidence that those intangible things could indeed be traded, and they dared not imagine what it would be like to lose one third of their attributes.?

Trading those things would render them totally useless!

Remembering the evil deeds they had committed in the garage, once they became weak, they would surely become the target of bullying, wouldn’t they?

“You have no right to take our lives.” Someone said, steeling their nerve.

“No, I do,” Duge acted with reason and evidence, picking up goodness again without hesitation in the face of evil-doers’ questioning, “Listen to what’s being said on the radio, Charity Unlimited Company, centering on kindness, takes it upon itself to save the world.

I’m not a pedantic hero. To punish evil is to promote goodness. Your existence has seriously disrupted their lives, so I have the right to execute you on behalf of the majority.

Moreover, most importantly, you can’t beat me, can you? Only taking one third of your attributes, I have already shown you my kindness.”

The last sentence hit the point.

Those who had regretted using a bit of their strength to buy Qi Feihu’s food, after witnessing Qi Feihu’s tyranny, had that tiny bit of reluctance in their hearts vanish in an instant.

Yes!

He could have violently taken everything, but he still gave you plenty of supplies…

If such a person isn’t kind, what is kindness?

…

Good people need to go through eighty-one trials to become Buddha, while evil people only need to lay down the butcher’s knife to achieve the same.

Kindness has never been about actions; it’s demonstrated by comparison.

Although Duge was doing something bad, the more than a thousand people present unanimously recognized his kindness.

In just an instant, his attributes shot up significantly.
