Since The Red Moon Appeared-Chapter 18: Endless Vengeance

Qin Ran brought Lu Xin to the back of their transportation factory, where there were many abandoned factories and warehouses, filled with rusted scrap iron and weeds. Meanwhile, Qin Ran walked straight towards an underground warehouse, with its iron gate painted blue.

"This is it!"

Before Qin Ran pulled the metal door open, he took a few breaths and looked at Lu Xin.

Then, he opened the lock, used some force, and, with a creak, pulled it open.

He was greeted with an overwhelming fishy smell.

Lu Xin covered his nose and took a step back before going forward to take a look.

The underground warehouse looked like a large pit that was sealed with cement and some water was caught inside. It was five meters long, seven meters wide, about four meters deep, and a few metal rings were nailed to the bottom. These iron rings were tied with a chain, and what caused his skin to tingle was the reddish things chained to the ground. They were human arms.

And at the bottom of the pit, some semi-rotten pieces of flesh could be seen. Lu Xin quickly identified what they were.

He couldn't help but frown. "So scary."

Qin Ran shot him a look and said, "Brother, you don't look like you are scared."

"We were the ones who got scared!"

He paused for a moment before continuing, "Damn, when the four people rushed into my home, it really scared me. Moreover, it was too eerie. I didn't dare to kill them immediately anymore, so I locked them up here and wanted to interrogate them to find out who on earth was the person behind this. However, I didn't expect the four of them to… to…"

Perhaps he realized that his voice was trembling, so he intentionally spat into the pit, making use of his anger to make his fear less obvious. He said, "These people are crazy. I didn't even kill them and merely locked them up here. However, before I even interrogated them, they began to… they began to gnaw at each other…"

He suddenly looked up and looked at Lu Xin with bloodshot eyes, without being able to suppress his fear. "Can you imagine that? 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶

"They were humans, but they acted like dogs and bit each other… No, they didn't merely bite each other but ate each other. They tore each other's flesh and ate the meat. Some of them had their stomach split open, but they still ate…

"I was… I couldn't bear to see them anymore and killed them…

"And I thought I was doing a good deed by killing someone with a gun for the first time…

"…"

When he said that, he suddenly used force and shut the metal door up with a "clang".

"What are they?"

He stared at Lu Xin and said, "Since you're here, you must know something. Please tell me…

"What exactly are they?"

"…"

Lu Xin found out that his emotions were a little abnormal.

However, this was also very natural. Even if he was a ruthless person, he would still be afraid if he encountered something like this.

He might not be afraid even if he died.

However, this kind of unexplainable thing caused one to feel afraid.

…

"This is nothing like what happened in the cafe before, but it's also clearly abnormal…"

And after listening to him, a thought ran through Lu Xin's mind. "The person who caused all this mess was the abnormal Old Cui, or something else? And it sounds like, amongst the things he encountered, there are some traces to track. The first day one person came for revenge, the second day two, the fourth day four, then…"

Lu Xin suddenly jolted and asked Qin Ran, "How many days has it been since they last came?"

Qin Ran obviously knew what he had guessed, and he replied with red eyes, "Seven days!"

"Seven days?"

Lu Xin's face sank for a moment. It would be the eighth day tomorrow.

Based on this pattern, eight more people would come tomorrow?

"Give me a moment, I have to report."

Lu Xin remembered what Chen Jing told him and shook his head, ready to take out the satellite phone.

However, Qin Ran looked at him coldly and suddenly picked up an ax from the ground. He aimed it at Lu Xin and then said ruthlessly in a low voice, "Little brother, I killed many people. These few people won't threaten me. Be it four or eight, or even a dozen, I'm not afraid. At most, I will no longer stay in this city and continue to wander outside. But don't…

"Don't think of using this chance to scheme against me…"

"…"

"The ax…"

Lu Xin looked at his bag, not knowing how Qin Ran had the guts to threaten him.

"Even if you have two guns, there are many people behind me outside. If something happens to me, you won't be able to get off so easily!"

Qin Ran stared coldly at him and explained. Although he was guilty, he was very determined.

"I definitely can get off, but that's not the main point."

Lu Xin shook his head and said to him, "If you aren't afraid of four, eight, but what about 16?"

Qin Ran looked at him coldly, but his Adam's apple moved slightly.

Lu Xin continued, "Do you know where Old Cui lives now?"

Qin Ran seemed a little nervous. He said with a hoarse voice, "Why do you ask?"

Lu Xin said, "You mentioned earlier that he came over to find you here. However, on the third occasion, he immediately went to your house. Did you think about how they can find you no matter where you go?"

Qin Ran's hand shook. "How is that possible…"

Lu Xin said, "All of these are strange. How would it be impossible?"

Based on the pattern, the number of people looking for him would only increase. If this continued to happen, nobody knew how many people there would be in total eventually. If there were only a handful or a dozen, for someone as harsh and fierce as Qin Ran, it did not matter. However, if it rose to a few dozens or even a few hundreds?

Lu Xin could already imagine Qin Ran being chased by a few hundred lunatics…

Based on the theory, would a day come where the entire world would end up chasing him?

Moreover, these people weren't afraid of death. They could find him anywhere he went.

They wouldn't give up until he died!

More importantly, if he didn't die, they wouldn't give up!

…

Qin Ran was evidently afraid. The ax started trembling, and he hissed. "I don't want to go to the wilderness…"

He still had some trust issues with Lu Xin. Although they had spoken to many connections in the High Wall City, he might die if a certain big-shot was unhappy with him.

That was also why he did not report this incident to the Security Office.

Firstly, it was hard to explain. Second, it was not trustworthy!

He knew who was the bigshot in the High Wall City. If that person was unhappy, he would have to go to the farm outside the city and stay there for the rest of his life!

"I would rather die…"

Lu Xin understood his thoughts. He looked at the basement and shook his head.

Qin Ran's pupils shrunk and his goosebumps rose.

After some internal struggle, he slowly put down his ax and said with a hoarse voice, "I believe you!"

"…"

"As if you cannot be trusted…"

Lu Xin mumbled and walked to the side. He made a call and changed his tone. "Hello, Major Chen?"
