The headlights of the bus suddenly turned on, immediately capturing Jeffrey Dahmer's attention.

He saw a stunningly beautiful woman walking towards the off-road vehicle blocking the bus, illuminated by the bus's headlights.

Jeffrey Dahmer's eyes lit up; this woman who appeared out of the darkness was incredibly beautiful.

The woman who emerged from the darkness was none other than Anna, the mute woman.

Without even glancing at Jeffrey Dahmer, Anna stopped in front of the off-road vehicle and suddenly made a bending motion, simultaneously moving her hands behind her back.

Two silver lights flashed, accompanied by a sound akin to slicing tofu, which quickly faded away.

The roof of the off-road vehicle, along with the people inside, were cleanly sliced in half by the dual blades held by Anna.

An instant chill spread over the vehicle, and everyone felt the temperature drop by several degrees.

At that moment, Jeffrey Dahmer noticed a window on the bus suddenly opening, and the barrel of a gun protruded from it.

Jeffrey Dahmer quickly pulled out his handgun and raised it.

Boom—

Bullets sprayed from the barrel of the gun on the bus, producing an ear-deafening gunshot sound.

The off-road vehicle behind Jeffrey Dahmer violently shook, accompanied by the jarring sound of shattering glass.

With just one shot, the off-road vehicle was deformed and turned into a pile of scrap metal.

Click—

Finally, Jeffrey Dahmer pulled the trigger.

However, the handgun seemed to jam, and only the sound of the hammer striking was heard; the gunshot did not go off.

It was then that Jeffrey Dahmer noticed a hand with pink-painted nails, resembling heated iron, firmly gripping his handgun.

In Jeffrey Dahmer's widened eyes, the spot where the hand held the gun was melting.

"Ah!"

Jeffrey Dahmer shouted in pain and released the handgun.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

The temperature of the handgun instantly burned his hand, emitting a scent of burnt flesh.

Turning his head, Jeffrey Dahmer saw Anna smiling at him.

"Miss Anna, spare me! I'm your fan!"

Witnessing Anna's abilities, Jeffrey Dahmer immediately pleaded for mercy, his previous excitement upon seeing the celebrity Anna completely gone.

Anna remained silent, looking towards the bus and waiting for Lucas to come down.

Of the three off-road vehicles, only one remained in the blink of an eye. Cobras and his comrades surrounded it, pointing their four automatic rifles at the individuals inside the vehicle.

This time, Jeffrey Dahmer brought twelve people to the bridge, but in an instant, eight of them were killed, which he had not anticipated.

After the apocalypse, this was the first time Jeffrey Dahmer encountered such a setback.

"Are you here to get Anna's autograph or take a photo?"

"Your attitude towards meeting your idol isn't very friendly, huh!"

"You see, wanting to take advantage of your idol comes with a higher price."

Lucas got off the bus, walked smilingly towards Jeffrey Dahmer, and spoke in a friendly tone.

"Tell me, how many people do you have inside the island in the lake?"

Meanwhile, the mute woman had already returned to the bus and successfully intercepted the single-use rocket launcher that Lucas had procured from the military. She aimed it directly at the other side of the bridge.

A powerful explosion halted the footsteps of those who had heard the gunshots and intended to rush over from the other side.

"Boss, let's talk it out."

By this time, Jeffrey Dahmer had realized that Lucas was the leader of this group.

Moreover, the previous rocket launcher shot from the mute woman had made him fully understand his current situation.

An item like a single-use rocket launcher could only be found in the military, nowhere else.

Jeffrey Dahmer was well aware that if he didn't submit today, he would definitely die here.

"Boss, my name is Jeffrey Dahmer. We have over a hundred people here, along with more than thirty automatic rifles, as well as some grenades and TNT explosives."

"I'll make sure they don't come over. They all listen to me."

Jeffrey Dahmer spoke to Lucas and then shouted loudly towards the other side of the bridge, instructing the people there not to approach.

"Tell them to load all their weapons onto a vehicle and have one person drive it over."

After Lucas finished speaking, he glanced at the other side of the bridge and patted Jeffrey Dahmer's shoulder, leading him to the mute woman's side.

At this moment, Lucas had made up his mind. He had a poor impression of Jeffrey Dahmer, and once the people on the other side of the bridge delivered their weapons, he would dispose of him.

Although Lucas didn't like unnecessary killing, if they were to establish the island in the lake as a long-term residence, they needed to eliminate all unstable elements.

Not only Jeffrey Dahmer but also the people on the other side of the bridge, Lucas was considering whether to let them live or not.

Jeffrey Dahmer quickly conveyed Lucas' message to the people on the other side of the bridge. However, after a few minutes, to Lucas's surprise, it seemed that those people on the other side of the bridge had simply given up on Jeffrey Dahmer.

In front of Lucas, the people on the other side of the bridge drove several vehicles to the bridge, using them as cover. Dozens of guns were pointed directly at Lucas's side.

"Boss, rest in peace. Consider it for the sake of the West Brothers!"

"We'll keep you in our hearts and take care of your woman."

Someone suddenly appeared from behind one of the cars on the other side of the bridge and shouted at Jeffrey Dahmer.

Upon hearing the shouts from the other side of the bridge, Jeffrey Dahmer's face instantly drained of color, foreseeing his own fate in an instant.

Lucas turned to look at Jeffrey Dahmer, patted his shoulder, and smiled.

"It seems your 'brothers' aren't really loyal to you."

"Well, I can't bear to watch anymore. I'll give you a chance to go back and deal with them."

Lucas spoke and gave Jeffrey Dahmer a strong push, indicating that he should go back to the other side of the bridge.

Jeffrey Dahmer took a few steps forward, pushed by Lucas, but then his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.

Jeffrey Dahmer wasn't stupid; he knew that if he exposed himself on the bridge, within the blink of an eye, his so-called "brothers" would turn him into a sieve with their guns.

"Boss, please spare me."

"Miss Anna, I didn't mean to do it earlier. It was just excitement when I saw you. Please spare me."

Jeffrey Dahmer turned his head to look at Lucas and Anna, pleading once again.

Lucas smiled at Jeffrey Dahmer but, at the same time, pulled out a handgun that hadn't been used for a long time and pointed it at Jeffrey Dahmer's head, saying, "If you don't go back, I'll kill you right now."

"In fact, you have a chance to survive. When you cross the bridge, jump into the lake. As long as you fall into the water quickly, your 'brothers' won't have the angle to shoot at you."

Cobras, who was escorting the four people in the last off-road vehicle, suddenly gave Jeffrey Dahmer an idea.

"Sir, should we let them go back together?"

Cobras looked at Lucas, a smile on his face.

"Let them go back together!"

Lucas spoke, his smile fading from his face.

His idea was simple. In this post-apocalyptic world, he didn't need someone who would kill their own people. The island in the lake was their ultimate goal, but they also needed to ensure cleanliness and safety.
