Chapter 1129 Is everything he said true?
Several hours of anxiety, coupled with a harrowing escape from death, undoubtedly tested many people's psychological resilience.
Qi Yingxuan and the others remained silent at first, but their faces grew darker as they listened, especially when they heard the line, "It would be best if they all died, to end it all." They once again deeply understood Wu Yequan's sinister intentions.
If even these "bystanders" felt chilled upon hearing this, let alone Ye Wanxi and her companion, who were caught in the vortex of public opinion.
Qi Yingxuan always speaks his mind, and this time he was even more furious, so he turned his gaze directly to the loudest old lady.
Although the commotion in the distance drew everyone's attention, most people were more concerned about their own safety and whether Qi Yingxuan and the others could get them out of there.
Therefore, most people's attention was drawn to these few individuals.
Seeing that the others didn't look too good, many of them wisely stopped complaining and talking.
The middle-aged woman who was being targeted by Qi Yingxuan didn't realize anything was wrong at first. But when she noticed that the noisy people around her had suddenly fallen silent, and then turned around to find that everyone was staring at her, she was startled.
"W-what's wrong?"
"You hate them, you wish they were dead?"
The woman paused for a moment, then frowned and said matter-of-factly, "Who among so many people here doesn't hate them? If it weren't for them, would we be in this situation now?"
"You guys think so too?"
Qi Yingxuan looked around and saw that although no one answered or refuted the old woman's words, his face darkened completely. He sneered, "Judging from your attire, you should be from the water town near the flooded area a few months ago, right?"
"How do you know?"
Were you in town when the town was flooded?
The woman frowned, and her tone became more aggressive: "So what if I am here?"
No wonder this woman was furious. Her hometown was in Beicheng, but after getting married, she and her husband settled in Shuizhen for various reasons.
When the tsunami struck Beicheng, she had finally managed to squeeze out a vacation to visit her hometown with her husband, only to be caught in the tsunami.
A few months ago, the town was flooded, and she and her husband had to temporarily evacuate the area and come to Z City to stay with their married daughter.
Unexpectedly, just a few months later, tragedy struck again. Z City was afflicted by a mysterious psychopath, and everyone was confined to the city and unable to leave.
The entire city was filled with fear, everyone terrified that they might be in trouble at any moment.
What happened in the past is one thing, but today's fire really ignited all the anger that the old lady had been holding in for the past few years.
You should know that she and her husband are not the only ones trapped here; there are also her daughter, son-in-law, and her two grandchildren!
Qi Yingxuan was unaware of the old woman's difficult past. Only after learning that the old woman came from Shuizhen and happened to be one of the people who evacuated from Shuizhen at that time did he feel even more sorry for his junior sister.
"It's nothing much. I just suddenly feel that if I had known this would happen, my junior sister would have been better off not getting involved in these messes and letting some people die sooner rather than later. That way, we wouldn't have so many ungrateful wretches who wish her dead as soon as she's in danger."
Qi Yingxuan's words stunned the old lady. Although Jun Wuduan agreed with Qi Yingxuan's statement, he still reprimanded her with a stern face: "Fifth Brother!"
The old woman was startled awake by his shout, and her face darkened. No one likes to be called an ingrate.
The older woman was no exception. If it weren't for the fact that Qi Yingxuan had just risked his life to save her two children, she would have been so angry that she would have torn him apart.
"What do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'ungrateful wretch'? How am I an ungrateful wretch?"
"Mom, please say less." The woman's daughter was standing nearby. Knowing that Qi Yingxuan and his group were not ordinary people and not to be trifled with, she was worried that her mother would suffer a loss, so she quickly pulled her mother aside.
The woman, however, couldn't swallow her anger: "What do you mean I should say less? This person has already called me an ingrate, and I can't even say a few words? I'm not some big shot, but I still have my pride. I don't believe in being smeared for no reason. If you don't explain yourselves clearly today, nobody's leaving."
"Fine, I won't leave then." Qi Yingxuan glared at the old woman, determined to argue with her.
"A few months ago, the town was flooded, but the people evacuated several days in advance. Although their homes were washed away, they all survived. Do you know why? It's because my junior sister, the one who's currently up there fighting to the death with that old geezer who set up the formation to wipe you all out and sacrifice you to the heavens, accidentally discovered that the town's climate and water flow were not quite right. She then used some special methods to divine that the town would be flooded and informed your local staff. It was through their cooperation that you, the local residents, were saved."
"You've lived there for so long, don't you know the situation better than I do? If we hadn't evacuated in advance, once the water rose, we wouldn't even know where to run. Countless people would have died. It's one thing to do good deeds in secret and no one appreciates them, but now that something's happened, you treat her like that old hag, wishing she were dead. What is this if not ungrateful?"
Qi Yingxuan was furious. He roared so loudly that spittle flew everywhere, the veins on his head bulged, and his voice cracked by the end.
It looked somewhat comical, but no one dared to laugh at him, because everyone was stunned by what Qi Yingxuan had just said, especially the middle-aged woman who had been the focus of the criticism.
"How is this possible? What he said... is all true?" The woman looked pleadingly at the staff who came to their rescue.
The locals, who were trapped along with them and cut off from outside signals, were unaware of the situation, but the superhumans who arrived later all knew about it.
One of the team leaders even kept a record of watching the drama unfold.
"It's true, I have the browsing history. A dozen hours ago, TV stations and the internet across the country were suddenly flooded with a provocative video. Then, a barrier suddenly appeared in Z City, cutting off all communication with the outside world. Because the middle-aged man in the video suggested that Miss Ye and Mr. Feng's lives be used to exchange for everyone's lives, Miss Ye and Mr. Feng were subjected to extremely terrible cyberbullying. In order to reveal the truth, the higher-ups had no choice but to make some previously unannounced matters public."
"What Mr. Qi just said is true. Miss Ye's reminder was indeed crucial to the events in Shuizhen. Not only the flooding in Shuizhen, but also the tsunami triggered by the earthquake off the coast of Beicheng a few years ago, were all predicted by Miss Ye, who informed the higher-ups, allowing for the early evacuation of the city's residents and avoiding this natural disaster. For this, Miss Ye was even struck by lightning for revealing heavenly secrets."
