Chapter 134 Multiple Choice Questions

Chen Qing glanced at the virtual screen that lit up in front of her, then quickly looked away and focused her gaze on the other Cross Star members.

This group of people is incredibly audacious; they managed to kidnap so many children at once.

She was not clear about the situation of humans and sea creatures, but the wood race and beast race both placed great importance on their offspring.

How did they manage to capture so many non-human race cubs in such a short time?

Or perhaps they had made preparations beforehand, or perhaps the origins of these cubs are questionable.

Slave Island?

Regardless of the circumstances, their actions were undoubtedly tantamount to provoking a major crisis.

"New teammate, how about we do a multiple-choice question?"

Yin Hui still had a smug, amused look on his face as he watched Chen Qing's misfortune unfold.

"You, or these children, you choose one, how about it?"

In a corner, a camera quietly lit up, and one of the members of the gem observation team pointed the camera at Chen Qing.

The Gem Watch Group is a particularly large and spontaneous organization that chases trends and breaking news.

As for the source of the news, the consequences it may cause have nothing to do with them.

When the people from Cross Star came to their door with big news about Chen Qing, they immediately sent out fearless paparazzi to follow Cross Star.

As Chen Qing's ranking improved, her fame once again came to the attention of the survivors, and she suddenly became incredibly popular.

Everyone wanted to know how Chen Qing had managed to do it.

She actually climbed from the top 1,000 to the top 10!

Chen Qing has once again become one of the strong contenders for the top spot, and news about her will naturally be very popular.

Gemstone salvage operations are primarily conducted in the extremely deep sea, and the observation team faces significant costs every time they descend into the deep ocean.

Money, resources, and manpower.

They need to recoup their costs.

The benefits of an explosive news story are undoubtedly enormous.

The members of the Cross Star watched Chen Qing with a leisurely air, their whole bodies exuding a pleasant yet malicious aura. They awaited Chen Qing's choice.

Will she be like Huan Cai, or will she choose herself, risking the lives of so many children?

The survivors watching this scene were also quietly waiting for Chen Qing's choice.

To be honest, understanding is one thing, but if Chen Qing really chooses herself, she will inevitably be subjected to a lot of verbal and even physical attacks.

Even though everyone knows that it was the Cross Star that did the evil.

That's just how people are; they always pick on the weakest ones.

Compared to the ruthless and unscrupulous Cross Star, Chen Qing is obviously easier to handle; after all, she is still human.

Seeing this scene, Gao Yue and the others were truly worried for Chen Qing. No matter what choice they made, it was the wrong one.

Even if Chen Qing chooses those children, will Cross Star really let them go?

I don't think so.

The cross-shaped pattern seemed to offer Chen Qing a choice, but... Chen Qing had no choice at all.

Neither option is correct.

Faced with Yin Hui's question, Chen Qing did not choose to answer. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed the tip of his knife at the Cross Star members not far away.

Her answer was self-evident.

Chen Qing's choice immediately caused a huge uproar among the survivors. Some criticized her, feeling that Chen Qing should have saved the children's lives first and then planned her next move.

There were those who criticized Chen Qing, and there were also those who supported him, but their numbers were far fewer than those who slandered him.

Their voices in support of Chen Qing were drowned out by a chorus of condemnations against him, who portrayed him as some heinous villain.

They attempted to stand on the moral high ground and criticize Chen Qing's behavior.

They thought Chen Qing should do this and that, and shamelessly believed that if they were in Chen Qing's shoes, they would definitely do better.

In this fabricated scenario, they are willing to sacrifice themselves for the future of humanity, so Chen Qing should do the same.

They selectively ignored the truly evil Cross Star, instead placing Chen Qing, the victim, on the judgment table.

They vehemently denounced Chen Qing, arguing how they had elevated her to a pedestal and how they were now determined to bring her down.

Some even claimed that Chen Qing was unworthy of being ranked number one in this event.

"If someone like that got hold of those resources, he would be a huge threat to humanity!!"

Inside the tavern, a survivor raised his arm and shouted, immediately receiving a lot of support.

"Kill Chen Qing!!"

He swung his arm forcefully again, once again receiving a large amount of support.

Chen Qing did nothing wrong, yet he became the target of public criticism.

That's right, Chen Qing doesn't deserve to be number one; only XXX from their country does!

There are too many fools; you can't fool them all.

The hunt for Chen Qing involved far too many complex and intertwined interests.

A cross shape can be deadly and psychologically damaging.

Back then, Huan Cai was completely broken down by their smooth combo.

If Chen Qing hadn't had no relatives or friends, and the few people he could call friends had all taken refuge in the Dragon Kingdom's temporary base, Huan Cai wouldn't have been able to reach out.

Otherwise, Gao Yue and the others would definitely be the first to suffer.

Huan Cai watched helplessly as all her relatives and friends were tortured to death in front of her.

Faced with Chen Qing, who had no weaknesses, the Cross Stars could only resort to this underhanded method.

Of course, their methods are never mainstream.

"New companion, it seems you've chosen yourself. What a pity."

Yin Hui let out a very exaggerated, heavy sigh, his body movements were very exaggerated, and he was putting on a show specifically for Chen Qing.

"Illusory Colors".

Liu Jin raised his eyes and looked directly at Chen Qing, staring intently into her eyes as he spoke each word clearly.

"Illusory Colors, kill them."

A struggle flashed in Huan Cai's eyes on the other end of the video, but her hand still unconsciously stroked a child's neck, gradually increasing the pressure.

The child struggled violently, and the other children cried together, staring at Huan Cai with fear in their eyes.

"Sister, don't kill me! Sister, don't kill me—!!!"

The child's tender voice cried out to Huan Cai in heart-wrenching sobs, but received no pity from Huan Cai whatsoever.

She turned her head away, unable to bear it, but still ruthlessly delivered the fatal blow.

"Oh dear, new buddy, you've killed a child."

"How pitiful, they didn't have to die."

Yin Hui faked non-existent tears by wiping them from the corners of his eyes, his smile incredibly bright.

"You killed them."

Chen Qing suddenly spoke up.

"?"

Yin Hui paused, a shadow crossing his eyes.

"I said, you're the ones who killed him."

"You're the ones who arrested them, you're the ones who took their lives."

Chen Qing's voice was cold, and his face was indifferent, seemingly unaffected by the deaths of the children.

"You are the murderers."
