Chapter 185 Pity (Second Update)
In the apocalypse, the survivors no longer dared to ask for too much. They only had one goal left, which was to survive! Zhou Yan's words completely shocked these people. They had been hiding in the house because they were too scared before. They had never thought about how their behavior would hurt those superpowers who were desperately fighting against the zombies!
They didn't even think about whether their actions would chill the hearts of those people with special abilities, or cause them to leave the safe zone and abandon them completely!
However, everyone has the instinct of self-protection, so after they blamed themselves, they were more angry at the little guy. They felt that their actions were inappropriate, but they were understandable. After all, their strength was poor, and if they really went out, they would be more of a hindrance!
They chose to stay at home, which would allow those superpowers to have no worries and not have to spend time protecting them! What was wrong with them?
The one who was wrong was the little guy. He actually ran out under the cover of darkness to rob people. He even stole from the psychics who were protecting the safe zone. It was really too much and unforgivable!
As a result, the way these people looked at the little guy naturally changed, filled with hatred and malice!
One of them suddenly said, "Major Zhou, I saw him coming back two hours ago with some people carrying several large bags!"
After the first person's "correction", several more "witnesses" appeared, all claiming to have seen it and describing it vividly. Some people even began to propose how to reward those superpowers who protected the safe zone, to let them know that these ordinary people have not forgotten their contributions.
Zhou Yan saw this scene and made a few perfunctory remarks, saying that the top management would definitely reward those people with superpowers and would never let them down. Then he had the short guys and their gang dragged away from the door. When he opened the door and went in, he saw a bulging black bag in the corner.
Except for this bag, there was nothing else. Zhou Yan opened the bag and checked it. He found dozens of crystal cores in an inner bag. He grabbed a handful of crystal cores in his hand, turned his head and looked at the little man who was still struggling and shouting, and sneered: "Explain what these are?"
Ordinary people who have never killed zombies will never have a crystal core unless someone gives it to them. However, the little guy and his group are too weak, have no extraordinary abilities, and are not even superpowers. How could a superpower give them a crystal core?
Even if someone really gave them a gift, a few would be the most. A superpowered person needs crystal cores for their own cultivation, so crystal cores are also very precious to them. Giving dozens of crystal cores to a few ordinary people is too extravagant, no one would do that!
The little guy knew this, so when he saw Zhou Yan find the crystal core, his face turned pale. They dared to do this because they thought that the other party was not there, and even if they found something missing, they would not know it was them.
But now they have been caught red-handed, and the owners of the lost items are all supernatural beings! Once those people know what they did, how can they survive?
The little guy was very afraid of death, so he was unwilling to just accept his fate. He struggled again and defended himself, "What do you mean? We have accumulated these crystal cores and supplies with great effort. You can't slander us!"
Zhou Yan didn't bother to pay attention to him. He put the crystal core back into the inner bag, closed the bag, and handed the things to a subordinate. Then he turned his head, glanced at the little man and his silent accomplices, smiled coldly, pointed at three of them, and ordered his subordinates: "Take them back for interrogation first, as for the remaining three..." He looked at the angry residents, "We are short of manpower now, please help keep an eye on these three people, and deal with them after daybreak."
The onlookers were worried that they would not have the opportunity to show themselves, so they nodded without hesitation when they heard the words. One of them even said, "Don't worry, Major Zhou. We are watching them. We will never let these three people escape!" When he said this, he glanced coldly at the three people including the short man.
The three people Zhou Yan picked out were all honest, or timid, and unlikely to lie. The three people who stayed behind, including the short guy, were not so easy to deal with.
The little guy obviously refused to admit his fault, so interrogating him would be a waste of time. Instead of doing this, it would be better to leave them to these angry "onlookers", who would surely treat them well.
So Zhou Yan said, "By the way, if you get any words out of them, write them down. Someone will come to collect them tomorrow. It will be considered as helping those damaged superpowers." After a few polite words, he led people to search the homes of these residents. There was nothing unusual in these people's houses, so they did not stay long and left soon.
As soon as Zhou Yan and his men left, the three people, including the short man, were violently pushed into the room. Those who were as timid as mice when facing zombies, now became tough and greeted them with clenched fists.
Soon, the sound of fists hitting bodies and screams could be heard from the room. Zhou Yancai had not walked far away when he heard it very clearly. Not only him, but everyone else heard it as well. He turned around and saw that the three people who were caught were trembling all over, looking terrified.
He smiled disdainfully, thinking, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? The people who took action this time were just "onlookers". If those injured superpowers took action, they would only suffer a thousand times more!
His gaze made the three men tremble even more violently, fearing that they would be beaten. One of them cried out, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything! Don't hit me! Don't hit me!"
The soldier next to him rolled his eyes speechlessly. He was just grabbing the man's arm. He didn't do anything. Why was he crying?
He was so angry that he slightly increased the strength of his hand. He originally wanted to make the man shut up, but he didn't expect that the man cried even louder: "Don't kill me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I will tell you everything!"
Zhou Yan listened to his voice, frowned unhappily, and asked him a few simple questions. After asking the key points, he simply waved his hand and asked someone to send the three people back to the house and leave them to the care of the "onlookers".
He chose to take these three people with him because he was worried that the other six would be tortured to death by others and he would not be able to get accurate information. Now that the information was in hand, there was no need for him to take these three people with him.
As for whether they and the three people inside can survive, it depends on their own luck.
Zhou Yan doesn't have any sympathy or pity for such a person!
Not long after the three were sent back, their screams were heard in the house. Zhou Yan ignored them and walked quickly towards the remaining residents with his men.
He must find out the whereabouts of the stolen items as soon as possible and cannot delay any longer!
…
Lin Feiyin held the crystal core and absorbed it silently. She still remembered how happy she was when she found out that she had the ability to purify. She naively thought that from now on, she could use her purification ability to treat those infected with the zombie virus. However, reality gave her a loud slap in the face!
The level of her ability is too low. Although she can purify the first-level zombie virus, it is very difficult. She has no way of purifying the second-level zombie virus!
Originally, she was a rare mutant water-based supernatural being in the safe zone, and she could purify the zombie virus. Everyone respected her and dared not offend her. Except Fang Yuxin, who always looked down on her!
But what she didn't expect was that just when she found that she couldn't purify the second-level zombie virus, Fang Yuxin got the juice of a mutant plant! That juice not only has the ability to purify the zombie virus, but also the second-level zombie virus!
This was not what she cared about the most. What she cared about the most was that because of Fang Yuxin, Fang Yuyang, whom she had a good impression of, had always been rude to her. Fang Yuxin's wood ability had even advanced to level two! But she herself was still at the elementary level, and hadn't even broken through to level one!
She secretly said to herself, "When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, and his body hungry..." But her heart was as if a hundred claws were torn, it was so uncomfortable!
She was so preoccupied with her own worries that she couldn't continue to practice. The crystal core was held in her palm, but there was no movement at all.
At this moment, a dissatisfied voice rang out: "Sister Lin, you don't really want to keep them, do you? Look how weak these two are. What if they die here later? It's too unlucky!"
Lin Feiyin opened her eyes and looked coldly at the woman who spoke.
The woman shuddered, her eyes rolled, and she mustered up the courage to continue, "Sister Lin, please don't think my words are harsh. I'm saying this for your own good. I know you have a kind heart, but there should be a limit to kindness. Look how badly they are injured. They must have offended someone. If that person finds out, you'll be in danger!"
Lin Feiyin frowned slightly, then she glanced at the two people lying on the bed with concern. Looking at their pale and handsome faces, her heart softened, and she turned her head and said to the woman, "Don't worry, I won't let them die, I will find someone to cure them. They don't look like bad people at first glance. Even if they really offended someone, someone must have deliberately bullied them. They are already pitiful enough, how can we abandon them at this time?"
When she said this, there was a hint of sympathy between her brows.
The woman listened to her words, twitched her lips in dissatisfaction and rolled her eyes to the sky.
Then, the frail child snuggling beside her suddenly said impatiently, "We don't have much food to begin with, how can we share it with two grown people?"
