Chapter 409 Dispute

The hoarse voice swirled and rushed in the stone cave, angrily rushing towards everyone's ears.

He breathed heavily, suppressing his anger without concealing it, and his body trembled uncontrollably under the dark robe.

Where were the people who should have extended a helping hand when we needed it the most?

Where were those people who had fled here together to live a difficult life, becoming increasingly weak due to the damp and dark environment, and finally dying with their eyes open?!

They had prayed devoutly in their hearts countless times, hoping that one day the vines above their heads would be cut off and a heroic team would appear, telling them that the end of the world was over and the precious era of peace would come again.

But they waited day after day, until bumps appeared on their bodies, their eyes became useless, and the terrible "devil" descended. They realized in despair that they too would die from the pain...

Oh my God, I have been an honest and kind person all my life, why don’t I get any good rewards!

The man in black raised his head and faced the thick stone wall. He seemed to have passed through layers of obstacles and finally saw the rising sun that could warm people's bodies.

The faint light from the cave entrance dimmed. His companions heard the noise and rushed over, standing silently in a circle.

Although I couldn't see their expressions, I could feel a deep sadness overflowing from them.

The night is a hotbed of sadness, like a special magnifying glass that clearly magnifies every painful memory and then turns into a blunt knife that slowly cuts the flesh.

The propaganda team felt as if there was a giant beast roaring and rampaging in their chests.

"Brother, perhaps you don't understand. Disasters happen everywhere simultaneously. Just like the flu, the more people there are, the more severe the spread of the virus. Hospitals, schools, supermarkets, train stations...anywhere people gather, the virus will spread explosively in a short period of time."

"A small county town has a population of at least several hundred thousand, let alone a first- or second-tier city? How can we, upon receiving a mission, instantly appear beside every person in need?"

The man in black didn't move.

The propaganda team stopped there and didn't want to say more.

The atmosphere became cold. There was no sound outside the cave. Not a single bird or insect chirped. It was terrifyingly quiet, as if they were the only living people in the world, quietly waiting to die in this tomb-like cave.

In such an environment, it is rare for people not to go crazy, and it is understandable that they have more radical ideas.

Xia Yan found the little man in black and tried hard to make out his outline in the darkness, but found that he was not thin.

The man in black who was looking up at the sky in the cave suddenly hunched over and coughed heart-wrenchingly, as if some internal organs would be ejected in the next second.

The men in black standing at the cave entrance climbed down the ladders one after another and gathered around him to form a protective circle. They reached out to pat his back to help him calm down, and occasionally "looked" at them, as if asking why they hadn't left yet.

Xia Yan's eyes were always on the little man in black. The person who touched the light earlier should be him. If he was not mistaken, he didn't dare to put his right foot on the ground and could only walk on tiptoe.

"Ahem, ahem, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I won't die anytime soon." The man in black straightened up again and waved to the propaganda team. "Thank you for your help. If I don't see you off, just pretend you haven't been here today!"

The little man in black took a step forward and slid his hand under his burqa, meaning that you should hurry up and leave.

Xia Yan had never been driven away by anyone before. Even Lin, who used to keep everyone at a distance, had never treated her like this. Today was really strange. Although he didn't say it to her directly, he brought the publicity team with him.

As the saying goes, when beating a dog, you have to look at its owner...

"That's enough. I understand you're psychologically twisted because you can't see the sun, but why are you mad at them? They've been wronged! Besides, the people who were responsible for rescuing you might have already died along the way. You can't ignore their efforts just because you didn't see them.

Everyone's running to the major bases, but look at this place, it's dark and damp, and getting sick is the norm! Tsk, you're not willing to take risks, yet you expect others to risk their lives to search the restricted area for possible survivors? What are you thinking? Your life is your life, but others' isn't?"

If she is unhappy, the other party will not be happy either.

The propaganda team may not be able to say anything too harsh due to regulations, but she is not like that, she has freedom of speech.

They really found an outlet for their anger. All the reasons that led to the current tragic situation were due to the lack of timely rescue. They knew clearly that relying on the limited local military force to rescue hundreds of thousands of people, they were dreaming, right?

He was almost brainwashed.

Xia Yan stared at his tunic, "It seems like they were wrong to invite you to join the base. Let me ask you this: when you saw a living person being bitten beyond recognition, and then a moment later turning into a zombie and crawling after the living person, was your mind clear? Did you do anything you shouldn't have done?"

In order to survive, are there things you shouldn't do?

The person under the burqa was startled, and unforgettable fragments automatically emerged -

Chaos broke out suddenly. Head-scalp-numbing screams and cries instantly rang out over the mall. The crowd in the center ran around, pushing hard those on the periphery who didn't know what was going on but wanted to watch the excitement.

"Run! Run quickly!!"

"There's a monster eating people in the back!"

"Is this true? In a society ruled by law, there are people who defy the law? We must film this and post it online for the netizens to judge!"

"Don't block the road, please run, woo woo, I'm catching up."

"You ***! ****! Go to hell!"

"Ah!!! Help... Help."

The man in black couldn't help but take a step back, his lips trembling slightly.

Snap——

The goose yellow birthday candles were lit, and the orange light dispelled the darkness shrouding the cave, reflecting Xia Yan's calm eyes and the elongated shadow behind her.

"You - you come to condemn me? I don't want to, but he -" the man in black swallowed hard, his voice filled with tension and fear.

The man died after being pushed by him. It was his fault. That was his first time being bitten by a zombie. But if he hadn't pushed him away, the zombies would have caught up with him and he would have been the one to be bitten...

"You're overthinking it. That's what the police do." Xia Yan looked at Guang and continued, "I'm just telling you to be strict with yourself and lenient with others. You've got it wrong."

She blew out the candles, opened the backstage, and cut out the portal.

A vortex of silver light suddenly appeared in the air, gradually expanding and taking shape, but it was soft and not dazzling.

Without looking at anyone, she walked in and disappeared behind the door.

The propaganda team lined up and prepared. A second before entering, they turned back to look at the men in black and said something that was lingering on the tip of their tongue, unable to swallow it:

"You resent us for showing up too late and not being able to save more lives, but you don't know that we also regret day and night that we couldn't save the lives of our parents, wife, and children."
