Chapter 73 - 68
Norton quickly loaded his shotgun and checked that his bulletproof vest was intact. Then, he aimed the gun at the surviving captive below him and shouted into the checkpoint:
"Listen up in there! You know the situation. If you don't want this man to die, you better surrender quietly. Otherwise...!"
He smirked and lifted his foot, stomping down fiercely. The force was great enough that even the Wilfred's group lurking nearby could faintly hear the stomping.
The survivor immediately screamed in agony as the pain surged through his body, struggling in the snow, tears welling up in his eyes. He cried out for help from his companions:
"Lev! Lucy! Help me!"
"You!"
Lucy, the woman among them, saw the gruesome scene but didn't seem too affected. This person they encountered only recently on the road. Nonetheless, she gritted her teeth and said, "You despicable bastard!"
"Haha!" Norton laughed heartily at her words. He loved to see the expression on someone's face when they realized their loved ones or companions were in danger while he tortured them.
"So, what's your choice...?"
Before he could finish his sentence, Norton suddenly noticed the female survivor aiming a gun at him and fired.
The bullet narrowly missed his head, but it startled him. Norton was taken aback. He hadn't expected her to dare such an act, completely disregarding the safety of the man beneath him.
