Chapter 106 He's not the villain?

A moment of silence fell over the carriage.

Lin Xi and Lu Weizheng, who were about to make a move, suddenly stopped and looked at each other.

Lu Wei asked, "Lieutenant Yang, what do you mean by this? What exactly happened just now?"

Yang Yicheng sighed softly, seemingly troubled: "Yue Mingyuan heard everything in the monitoring room."

Lin Xi and Xiang Xin showed the same bewildered expression as Liang Hui.

Only Lu Wei nodded.

"Forgive me for speaking frankly, but what you call 'rebirth' is indeed hard to accept."

Yang Yicheng suddenly sat down on the ground, his gaze level with Lin Xi and the others, seemingly closing the distance between them.

But Lin Xi thought: an enemy who is sitting is easier to deal with than an enemy who is standing.

She never let her guard down.

Yang Yicheng looked at Lin Xi: "Don't be nervous. I fired that shot at the hospital because I thought you were violently injuring someone. Given my position at the time, I wanted to stop your violence, so I only hit the hand holding the knife."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi straightened up a little, feeling slightly awkward.

Lu Wei had never mentioned that her stress response was quite obvious.

Even after being reborn, she would unconsciously avert her gaze and try to avoid those who had left her with psychological trauma.

Especially when the opponent's combat strength far surpasses one's own.

But she was no longer so afraid of death. She looked up and stared directly at Yang Yicheng: "Lieutenant, what do you mean by this? What is your stance?"

Yang Yicheng: "I had doubts about your motives for doing those things before, but our primary enemy has always been the zombies."

He sounds very clear-headed and has the right stance.

Yang Yicheng added, "And all your actions, whether at Hongwen Hospital or the stadium, prove that your enemy is the zombies, so we share some common ground."

He meant that they shared "some similar positions," but their positions were not entirely unified.

Lu Wei asked, "So you really want to let us go?"

When this was mentioned, Yang Yicheng's neck tensed up involuntarily for a moment.

“When I brought you back, I didn’t know that the person I was to meet was Yue Mingyuan, so you had even less reason to know.”

Lin Xi didn't understand this sentence, so she looked at Lu Wei with her eyes and asked.

Lu Wei explained, "Based on past experience, Yue Mingyuan's base is located in the northwest and has never appeared in Nanhua. So when I admitted during the interrogation that I was a reincarnated person, I mentioned some things that might happen in the future."

He placed too much trust in certain forces.

But the end times have already begun.

Yang Yicheng: "I can't tell you anything else for now. I'll ask one last time, are you really reborn?"

Lin Xi and Lu Wei nodded.

Xiang Xin and Liang Hui then looked at the two of them respectively.

Yang Yicheng nodded in understanding and slowly lowered the gun he was pointing at them.

Lin Xi was still struggling with whether Lu Wei had understood the code, and whether she should take action against Yang Yicheng who was sitting there, and try her best to survive.

Now that they had voluntarily lowered their guns, Lin Xi felt even more awkward due to the unexpected turn of events.

She felt she needed to work on her emotional regulation skills. Her fighting ability improved, but her habitual avoidant personality remained unchanged.

She had just calmed herself down when Yang Yicheng said:

"Besides Yue Mingyuan, who else do you know who committed evil deeds during the zombie apocalypse?"

Lin Xi's calm gaze froze; she couldn't move, she couldn't give Yang Yicheng any special looks.

This person might be considering letting them go; we mustn't let him realize something is wrong.

You're one of the villains!

In your previous life, you actually shot at unarmed civilians who hadn't done anything wrong!

After what had just happened, Lu realized he had been too talkative and didn't easily believe Yang Yicheng's words.

Lin Xi changed the subject: "Every change brings different butterfly effects. Too many changes have occurred in this life, and it is no longer the same as the timeline we know. It cannot be used as a reference."

That's the truth.

Who would have thought that Yang Yicheng would show up in Nanhua ahead of schedule, and now he's even threatening to "let them go".

Yang Yicheng could tell they were wary and knew he couldn't get any more information out of them for the time being.

So be it.

Yang Yicheng thought that all he could do was let the four people go first. Then…

He continued to clear out the zombies; it was his duty, and something he wanted to do.

But will he be able to return to the base?

Even though Yue Mingyuan didn't know that the four people had been released, he and Yue Mingyuan both listened when Lu Wei mentioned "Yue Mingyuan" and "White Shield Base".

Would someone who is about to become a villain eliminate those with differing stances beforehand?

There is no legitimate reason, but the world is in chaos now, zombies are everywhere, and the clearing teams have suffered casualties; anything is possible.

Even Yang Yicheng himself was wondering how to deal with Yue Mingyuan next.

The people on the bus swayed slightly with the bumps and jolts, and no one spoke again; everyone was lost in thought.

Lin Xi gave Lu Wei another look: Yang Yicheng is distracted, is there any chance?

Lu Wei's gaze remained fixed, as if to say: Not for now.

Even though Yang Yicheng released them, the shock of that shot in her past life was too strong for Lin Xi; she didn't want to spend a moment longer with this person.

The apocalypse has begun, and some people are already changing. Sooner or later, they will be forced to reveal their deepest humanity.

What is Yang Yicheng's deepest human nature?

Yang Yicheng suddenly spoke up: "I'm not going back for now. I need to go clear out the zombies in the city. You guys...?"

Lin Xi: ……!

She glanced at Lu Wei. If Lu Wei favored Yang Yicheng, then it was goodbye. She was setting sail tonight.

Goodbye to my only reborn teammate in the world.

The next moment, Yang Yicheng changed his mind: "Never mind."

For some unknown reason, he proactively rejected the idea.

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Yicheng placed them in a temporarily cleared safe area, returned the items confiscated from the detention center to them, and left them his contact information.

Lu Wei is a professional lawyer with an excellent memory.

Lin Xi happily pulled her suitcase, patted Xiang Xin's ita bag, and then took off a keychain and placed it on Lin Xi's bag.

Yang Yicheng said that this safe zone was temporarily designated to distribute supplies to civilians and would not remain safe indefinitely, so they needed to make plans in advance.

Liang Hui finally came to his senses: "What should we do now?"

Lu Wei: "Gather supplies, find a reliable base, wait for the official recruitment notice, and then join."

Liang Hui: "Since we're going to enlist anyway, why didn't we go fight zombies with that lieutenant? He sounded like a good guy."

After the journey, Lin Xi's opinion of this person seemed to have changed somewhat.

But only a little.

Lin Xi said, "People change. I saw him in my previous life. 'A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall,' and besides, he didn't intend to take us with him."

Xiang Xin pursed her lips and looked at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi asked curiously, "What?"

Xiang Xin stuck out her tongue: "I told you not to hit me~ It's just that when I hear you talking about reasoning so seriously and quoting famous people, I feel a little... a little embarrassed."

Lin Xi stared at her incredulously: "?"

I didn't find your previous grandiose and childish antics embarrassing, so how could you say they were?!
