Chapter 1448: Chapter 1443: The Most Important Last One

Upon seeing the knife in Tang Ye’s hand, Lu Xin’s demeanor changed drastically, as he forced a smile onto his face, but the smile was hardly better than crying.

Tang Ye raised his eyebrows, this young man’s reaction gave him the feeling of dealing with a normal person.

"I do quite appreciate you, it seems like you’re also violating regulations now, right?"

The moment the boy heard this, the forced smile immediately faded from his face and he looked miserable. However, soon after, he seemed to have thought of something, shrugged his shoulders indifferently as if being infested with lice didn’t itch anymore, and said, "Violation is violation, what can you do about it... uh... what are you bringing Little Ru here for? We don’t have any money either, otherwise, we wouldn’t be here..."

"You’re overthinking it, I just called her over to ask about some situations."

"What situations?"

"Have you ever seen anyone die from violating regulations?"

"Seen it, how could we not have."

"How did they die?"

"It’s a long story..." Lu Xin hesitated, seemingly unsure where to start. However, the girl soon asked Tang Ye in a curious tone: "Why do I feel like you’re a bit strange?"

"What’s strange?"

"It seems like you don’t understand the regulations at all, how have you survived until now?"

Twisting his head, Tang Ye had, of course, prepared an answer for this question, immediately responding, "I’ve lost some memories, don’t remember some things anymore. The only thing I remember from my original life is that there were no regulating laws, no prohibition times."

"This... How is that possible? That must be your imagination, right?"

"I suspect you have a mental illness," Lu Xin chimed in from the side.

"Then do you know if mentally ill people will die after violating the regulations?"

"Ah? This..." Lu Xin couldn’t answer for a moment, seeing this, Tang Ye’s eyes brightened, as he seemed to have found some loopholes.

Lu Xin and his girlfriend exchanged glances, then with a hesitant voice, muttered, "It seems that mentally ill people will also die after violating the prohibition rules."

"That’s right, mental illness is normally detected early, and euthanasia is administered in advance. Some mentally ill individuals can’t control themselves, it’s pretty much the same as being dead."

"Quite harsh and simple," Tang Ye nodded. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he continued to ask, "By the way, were there any regulations like this in history?"

"History? What history?" Both were dumbfounded by Tang Ye’s question, but soon Lu Xin realized Tang Ye might be referring to the history of China, and immediately responded, "Yes, of course, there were."

"Yes? Why do I feel like you’ve come from another time? Ouch... Please put away your knife, it’s frightening!"

"It’s somewhat similar to what you’re thinking, in a sense, I am truly a transmigrator."

"This... I have nothing to say, but I’m quite curious about your world, what would it be like without these regulations?"

"Then you probably won’t see it."

"Not necessarily... There’s a saying that nothing is absolute, anything can happen, what if one day we both transmigrate?" The girl said half-jokingly and half-seriously, while the boy also showed a hopeful expression.

However, Tang Ye dismissively replied, "Stop dreaming, nothing is absolute, but isn’t this phrase an absolute itself?"

"You really know how to argue..."

"Alright, how did you witness someone dying after violating the regulations, tell me."

"This happened two days ago, that... you should know the last clause of the regulations, right?"

Tang Ye nodded, recalling the last clause in the Xi River City regulations: [Wherever you are, if you encounter school violence, as a third-party, please immediately kill the perpetrator!]

This clause is very special, not because there’s such a clause wherever regulations are, but because only this one is emphatically important, even the information-rich nineteenth clause cannot compare with the twentieth.

The girl nodded to Tang Ye, then continued, "This clause is the most important and is found everywhere. Two days ago, my best friends, my boyfriend, and his roommates were dining out when we encountered school violence..."

"You didn’t stop it?"

"It’s not that... we wanted to stop it, but didn’t react in time... Such things are rare, and the regulations command us to kill the perpetrator, but we haven’t even killed a chicken before, how could we dare to kill a person!"

"You couldn’t stop it?"

"It’s ineffective, the regulations state to kill means to kill, stopping is useless."

"Right, a few of my roommates tried to intervene, but in the end..." Lu Xin interjected, and as he spoke, Tang Ye saw the fear in his eyes, apparently, this event had left a significant trauma in his heart.

"School violence is not a capital crime, by the way... How does the law view this?"

"The legal clauses mention that if an uncontrollable accidental event occurs, prioritize personal safety."

"I see." Tang Ye nodded, sensing from what the girl said, the government’s helplessness and powerlessness when drafting this law; the regulations are no longer something a country can cope with alone. The force threatening humanity was too overpowering, overpowering enough to drive one to despair. Under such circumstances, even the laws binding everyone must compromise.

And so it is in these later stages of the apocalypse, Su Sigui wants to end this apocalypse, but ending it is not merely about dealing with all the zombies. Zombies are just the external threat to all humanity; if it’s just about dealing with zombies, it’s still an apocalypse. It’s humanity’s apocalypse, and besides zombies, the new humanity forms part of the apocalypse—these new humans are beings that could trample on the law without being constrained by rules!

The true end of the apocalypse means all return to an era of equality, and not because of some special beings emerging, laws must retreat. If this can’t be done, how could we speak of ending the apocalypse?

But, Tang Ye didn’t know what Su Sigui would do, to end the apocalypse, she would need to end herself, other new humans would also need to end themselves, bringing the true end to the apocalypse!

"How did they die?"

"We didn’t see the process, but when we saw my roommates again, their bodies were buried in the ground, their heads... their heads were smashed to pulp, as if many people had surrounded them, throwing stones with force, smashing them into a pulp before stopping."

Narrating this, the couple’s faces turned exceptionally pale, the girl couldn’t help covering her own neck, as if she might vomit at any moment, showing how horrible the state of Lu Xin’s dead roommates must have been.
