Chapter 236 Forced to Leave
Sang Zhengyi looked at his daughter, sighed heavily, and wiped the tears from her face.
"Where's my heartless daughter? Don't worry about me, she won't die anytime soon."
When Sang Yu heard the word "death", her scalp went numb and her whole body trembled. She went over and covered her father's mouth tightly, her eyes full of pleading:
"Please, Dad, don't say such things. Mom, sister and I can't live without you. You must be well."
Sang Yu was afraid that he would say something negative again, so she turned her head to the side and said to Hu Zi, "Brother Hu Zi, eat quickly, the noodles are getting cold."
Hu Zi found that no matter how hard he tried, the beef noodles were always far away from Sang Zhengyi.
"I understand." He lowered his head, walked away with a depressed look, and wolfed down his food with his back to them.
The aroma of noodles gradually dissipated in the air, and Sang Yu couldn't help but sniff and swallow his saliva.
If even she was like this, others could not bear it even more. They moved their legs tremblingly and followed Hu Zi, making gasping sounds as they walked, and their stomachs made a deafening roar like rumbling.
The one-armed uncle squatting on the side was probably very hungry, and his anger exploded at this moment:
"Leader Sang, you should think of a solution. We've been with you for a while now. Before, people from other bases came to poach us, but we stayed with you all the time. Now there's only one crystal core left, and you gave it to him alone. Do we deserve to starve to death just because our lives are worthless?"
His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for people nearby to hear.
Sang Yu thought that they all saw their father's efforts and would speak up to protect him, but she didn't expect that each of them would become more silent than the other!
The one-armed uncle looked excited. He stood up and drew a circle with his short arm. "Look at the clothes we are wearing, and then look at the hungry stomachs of those children. Mr. Sang, I don't believe you don't have a single crystal core in your pocket. It's true that people's true nature is revealed in the face of disaster. What you did is really disheartening."
Sang Zhengyi knew that he was hungry and irritable, and didn't want to argue with him. However, he saw that his words were becoming more and more nonsense and he started to make up rumors. The other people looked at him with strange eyes and coughed in anger.
Seeing him being so indifferent to size, Sang Yu simply threw away her remaining dignity and stood up to curse:
"Mao Er, shut up! You still have the nerve to say you've been with us for a long time? What base have you seen that can support idle people and distribute free supplies every three days?
There are people trying to dig you over. It's hilarious. If you are so capable, why don't you protect the base when the zombies attack?
What did you do when you were being ostracized by the surrounding bases? You think other bases are better than you? Don't you know your own worth? If it weren't for buying you a way to survive, would we be so poor that we only have one crystal core left? If we had one more crystal core, would I have watched my dad become so thin?
The more Sang Yu thought about it, the angrier she became. Her voice was shaking and her vision was blurred and clear. She didn't know if it was because of anger or coldness, but her whole body was shaking violently, her mind was blank, and there was a ball of violent anger in her heart that she wanted to vent.
She glanced at them one by one viciously, angry at them for being ungrateful and at her father for being determined to save them at all costs.
The Sang family base was originally squeezed out by the surrounding bases. When they were forced to move, they encountered people sent by the base leaders to block the door.
They shamelessly shouted that the base would accommodate any powerful mutants, and anyone who decided to enter the base would be rewarded with a second-level crystal core.
Sang Zhengyi was shocked. The other party was clearly trying to kill them. How far could a team without people with superpowers go in the apocalypse?
But no matter how Sang Zhengyi tried to dissuade them, he could not shake the desire of the psychics for peace.
In the end, only some old, weak and sick people were left, like dogs abandoned by everyone, trying to find a place to go pitifully, but the disgusted looks from the other side were too glaring, so they could only come to Sang Zhengyi for help.
"Mayor Sang, you can't abandon us." They knelt down and kowtowed while crying. The young children were supposed to be ignorant at this age, but at this moment they also showed despair.
Sang Zhengyi was the mayor here in peacetime. He has always been honest and conscientious. He was a good mayor who cared about the people and he will not change now.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up quickly. As long as you are willing, I, Sang Zhengyi, will never abandon you." Sang Zhengyi bent down and helped them up one by one, patting the back of their hands firmly, "Don't worry."
There was sparse applause.
"What a wonderful show of self-sacrifice. I've heard that Mayor Sang is generous. I'm sure he will spend some crystal cores to keep these people alive."
The man opposite grinned and waved for someone to bring a cloth bag. "It doesn't need to be too much, just fill it up."
Sang Zhengyi said, "Don't go too far! It's hard for these old, weak, and sick people to survive, and you're still trying to buy crystal cores to save your lives?"
The other party chuckled and swung the mace over his shoulder, "Old Mayor, how can they be worthless? Black market~you've heard of it, right?"
The worthless vulnerable group suddenly thought of something, trembling like a sieve, and placed their last hope on Sang Zhengyi.
The man sneered and leaned in close, whispering in his ear, "With your two Qiaos, isn't it worth the price?"
He looked unscrupulously at the two girls of the Sang family who were covered tightly with hats behind him, and said in a voice that could not be any softer:
"Since you saved my life before, just give me a way out. You look good, and I've repaid the favor."
He stood up, patted Sang Zhengyi's shoulder, threw the bag into his arms, and said provocatively: "Remember to fill it up."
Sang Zhengyi raised his eyes silently and looked at the familiar psychic standing opposite him. That person was originally his support, but now he has become the force that oppresses him.
"Huzi, take out all the crystal cores."
"good."
"Dad!" Sang Yu, unable to bear it any longer, broke free from her sister's hand and rushed forward regardless. "Why should we give up the crystal core? If anyone should give it up, it should be them!"
With so many crystal cores, they could definitely ask Boss Xia to rent some more houses! Their family would never have to worry about food and drink!
Dad, look at me! Sang Yu blinked frantically and gave oral instructions: Boss Xia, villa, takeout!
Sang Zhengyi was frightened by her sudden state. He glanced across at her, fearing a sudden change, and pulled her back with force, shouting, "Go back! What does this have to do with you? Huzi, pour all the crystal cores in!"
Hu Zi hesitated, but he had to listen to his master, and he was reluctant to let all the crystal cores go to waste, so he was slow to fall.
Sang Yu shouted anxiously, "Don't let Huzi fall! Let them also produce crystals——"
Suddenly, her vision blurred. She saw herself dragging her parents, sister, and Hu Zi with her, disappearing from the spot. When she reappeared, she saw her father suddenly collapse with a bloody hole on his forehead, followed by her mother, sister, and Hu Zi. Before she could scream, she felt a sharp pain in her forehead, and her vision instantly went black...
"Huh, huh." Sang Yu suddenly woke up, gasping for breath, her eyes filled with shock and fear. There was an ambush by a superpower! They were all dead. No, that was not right. That was not reality.
Suddenly she screamed, and her head suddenly felt as if it was pierced by thousands of needles. She couldn't resist and fainted.
