The villagers on the rooftop looked at each other, carefully examining the Bai family members' appearances. They were indeed different from the people from yesterday.
They subconsciously assumed that only human traffickers would dare to drive a bus around outside.
"I'm sorry, we... it seems we really have mistaken you for someone else." The old man smiled awkwardly at Bai Anhai with an apologetic expression, and even bowed slightly to show his remorse.
"What's this about the human traffickers you just mentioned?"
Bai Anhai is not a magnanimous person.
Conversely, those who have never lost in verbal battles tend to be more petty in everyday life.
If you are wronged by someone, you will definitely get your revenge.
This is a common problem among lawyers.
“Yesterday a bus came to the village, and several people with supernatural abilities got off. They said they were there to take us to the Fire Phoenix Safety Base, and that there would be rescue there.” The old man sighed. “We thought they were good people, so we let our guard down. At noon, they set up a big pot at the village entrance and cooked chicken for us for free, one bowl for each person, and insisted that everyone line up together…”
As expected, when everyone was holding their bowls and ready to collect their chicken, the expressions of those with superpowers suddenly changed.
They said the chicken was for their own consumption and they wouldn't give it to the villagers.
If they don't want to distribute it, then they don't; the villagers haven't suffered any loss.
However, as if it were premeditated, several superhumans kidnapped several pretty young girls from the village.
They drove off in a bus, deliberately making noise before leaving to attract the zombies from the surrounding area to the village.
As the old man spoke, cloudy tears streamed down his face.
I shouldn't have been tempted by the cheap price to get the chicken.
In the apocalypse, it's hard to get a piece of meat. Every household in the village has the habit of stockpiling food, but they can't stand eating only noodles or rice.
Fortunately, the village has no shortage of vegetables in spring.
They can survive on a diet of plain water and soup every day, and even live a more comfortable life than the superpowered individuals in the city.
When they suddenly heard that a kind person was giving away chicken, everyone was overjoyed and lined up.
To my utter surprise, they were actually plotting to kidnap people.
Which direction did they go?
Bai Anhai frowned.
In the end times, morality seems to have vanished.
Everyone can guess what will happen to the little girls who were kidnapped.
"They ran that way!" The old man sighed heavily. "There are a lot of zombies over there, and we're just ordinary people..."
Every little girl is the apple of her family's eye.
The villagers all knew the gap between them and the group of superhumans, and besides, the direction they ran was teeming with zombies.
There's no way ordinary people like them could catch up.
Even if one or two parents wanted to win their daughters back, it wouldn't work; they didn't have the means.
Moreover, some parents don't only have daughters; they also have sons...
In the apocalypse, strength is the only way to protect your family.
The old man looked at Bai Anhai, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but said nothing.
The family in front of us has incredibly powerful supernatural abilities. If we help them, there's a good chance we can rescue the little girls.
However, in the apocalypse, saving people is like doing charity—charity without any return.
No one knows how powerful that group is. If the Bai family goes there, they'll just be throwing their lives away. What's the point?
What's more, they had just offended the Bai family.
Asking them for help to save people is indeed difficult to say.
Moreover, the villagers all knew what would happen to the girls who were abducted.
Whether their chastity still exists is something everyone knows.
They would be furious if they saw the traffickers coming again, but if they were really asked to chase after the traffickers and bring their daughter back...
Who would be willing to risk being eaten by zombies to go there?
Even the man who had been crying just moments before wiped away his tears and stood there blankly to the side.
It seems that only when human traffickers run up to him can his fighting spirit be aroused!
The villagers didn't say anything, and Bai Anhai didn't mention it either, and got directly onto the bus.
Let's go!
Bai Anhai glanced at the villagers on the rooftop who seemed to want to say something but couldn't, and sighed softly.
Bai Yifan didn't say anything, stepped on the gas pedal to the floor, and sped straight out of the village.
"Why do I feel like they don't really want us to rescue those girls?"
Bai Yifan gripped the steering wheel, a hint of curiosity on his face.
If his older sister were taken away by someone, regardless of whether it was reasonable or not, or whether it was moral blackmail or not, he would definitely cling to that person's leg, crying and begging them to help rescue his sister.
Although it may seem like moral blackmail, what does face matter compared to one's own family!
Also, the honest, simple man who cried the most at the beginning, when he learned that the Bai family were not human traffickers, although his face was full of sorrow, never asked the powerful Bai family for help.
They didn't know how many girls had been abducted from the village, but the number must have been considerable.
Why doesn't anyone morally blackmail them?
While moral blackmail may be somewhat distasteful, it seems reasonable when human life is at stake.
Without saying a word, Bai Yifan really couldn't understand the simple, crying man from just now.
“They’ve been abandoned.” Bai Anhai sat in the passenger seat, looking calmly ahead. “When the traffickers are standing in front of the villagers, they can still resist with their own strength, but if the traffickers are not in front of them, they will give up.”
