Chapter 197 The Virgin Mary is sick and needs to be cured! (The third update)
The next thing was much simpler, after all, the difficult parts had been solved. The three generals did not speak, but asked a soldier next to them to read out the crimes of these people and their punishments.
The safe zone was short of manpower, so even though their behavior was extremely bad, the higher-ups had no intention of executing them. Instead, they were forced to undergo long-term labor reform and all their property, including supplies, crystal cores, housing, and credit points on their ID cards, was confiscated. Even their contribution points had become negative.
The daily tasks of ordinary people among these people are to build fortifications outside the safe zone, or to clean up the battlefield, pile up the corpses of zombies and burn them with fire. It can be said that this is the hardest and most tiring work, but it is not the most dangerous.
The tasks of the superpowers are different. After building fortifications, they will be assigned to combat teams and go out to hunt zombies every day. They can keep the crystal cores they get. Apart from that, the military will only provide them with food and water to ensure their basic living. They will not receive any credit points or material rewards, only contribution points. When the contribution points accumulate to a positive number, their "labor reform" is considered complete.
Depending on the difficulty and danger level of the task, the contribution value of the reward and the basic food distributed are different. It can be said that if you want to live a better life and regain your freedom as soon as possible, you can only hunt zombies, and the more you kill, the more rewards you will get.
Such a punishment was obviously extremely harsh. However, after hearing this, everyone did not sympathize with these criminals. They were just secretly glad that they did not act on impulse and do something stupid.
Lin Feiyin looked at the criminals who hung their heads and kept silent. Seeing that their faces turned pale after hearing the punishment, her sympathy flooded again.
She had no sympathy for those who attacked the army, but for those who simply stole, their punishment was too severe! She felt that she had to do something!
At this time, General Li said, "Are you willing to accept these punishments?"
All the criminals were ordered to squat on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs. Some of them had been punished the previous night and had bruises all over their bodies. They also did not sleep well and were listless, so they naturally looked extremely pitiful.
After the punishment was announced, these people lowered their heads even lower. It was impossible for them to say that they had no idea at all, but these people were not stupid. They knew very well that if they went against the military, they would only suffer losses!
At least they don’t have to die now. If they don’t know how to appreciate it and anger the military, the military will drive them out of the safe zone. They will be left without weapons and supplies, and they will really be dead!
At least, the military would not deliberately push them out to die due to lack of manpower.
Of course, they would not willingly accept such punishment. It was just a temporary measure. As for the future, they would slowly plan and there would always be a turning point!
So, after General Li asked, they were ready to shake their heads to indicate that they had no objection at all!
But at this moment, they heard a woman say, "They will not accept such harsh punishment! And they should not accept it!"
When the prisoners heard this voice, the beasts in their hearts began to run wildly. Where did this bitch come from? What nonsense is she talking about? They accepted it! They accepted it too much!
All the prisoners raised their heads and saw that Lin Feiyin had stood up. Because everyone around was sitting, she stood up alone, which made her very conspicuous.
The people around her also looked at her silently. No one expected that she would cause trouble again.
The faces of the three generals also sank slightly. Because of Lin Feiyin's disobedience to military orders, they had been furious for a long time! Most of the people who fought against the zombies last night were their elites! Because Lin Feiyin didn't go, these people almost died from the virus. Fortunately, Fang Yuxin happened to have the mutant plant juice that could purify the zombie virus, which saved them!
As a result, before they could deal with this woman, this woman always liked to jump out to show her presence!
As the saying goes, even a clay figure still has some earthiness. The three generals have been in high positions for many years, but they are not Bodhisattvas! They just don't want to bother with a woman like Lin Feiyin, but it doesn't mean that they will be generous and forgive her repeated offenses!
In the past, when they heard that Lin Feiyin was always at odds with Fang Yuxin, they would at most think that Lin Feiyin was mentally ill, but they would not feel angry. After all, it was Fang Yuxin who she provoked, not them.
Now, after Lin Feiyin provoked them repeatedly, they finally understood how disgusting it was to have a clown jumping around in front of them all the time!
But this person always feels good about himself, as if he represents justice, with an attitude of "I am right and you are all wrong". It is simply unreasonable!
Lin Feiyin spoke quickly: "They just couldn't survive, so they had no choice but to steal the supplies of the superpowers. It wasn't intentional. Can't they be given a chance to reform? Who hasn't made mistakes? Why treat them so harshly?"
The three generals were too lazy to argue with her. General Li asked the prisoners directly: "You think so too. Do you think you are not wrong?"
Because he was extremely angry, his voice gave people a particularly dangerous feeling. These prisoners who had been taught a lesson were very obedient. As soon as they heard him, they knew that he was about to explode with anger. They hurriedly shook their heads and said, "We don't think so at all! We are wrong! We are willing to accept the punishment!"
The three generals watched this scene with satisfaction, and then General Song said: "In this case, then..."
Before he could finish, Lin Feiyin interrupted him: "Wait! They didn't do this voluntarily at all, they were forced by you!" After she finished speaking, she anxiously said to the criminals, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer! I will definitely help you fight for your basic rights! Help you avoid this unfair punishment!"
Finally, Lin Feiyin felt that she was too alone and helpless, so she turned to the people around her and said, "What do you think? These people are just forced into this situation. Such harsh punishment is too unfair to them! We should help them!"
This time, everyone, whether it was the military, the surrounding residents, or the criminals themselves, looked at Lin Feiyin with a look that said "you are so nosy". The criminals even wanted to make her shut up.
It would be fine if Lin Feiyin really had the ability to help them avoid punishment, but unfortunately she only knows how to make trouble. If she really intervenes, it will only make things worse!
They are not fools!
One of the fat men narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Feiyin dangerously, cursing "idiot" in his heart, and said, "Ms. Lin, please stop making trouble. We all know that we were wrong about what happened last night. If you are dissatisfied with the military, that is your own business. You can go and talk to the military. Please don't use us as an excuse. If you really pity us, please don't put us in an unjust situation anymore."
The fat man said this on purpose, and he had no good intentions at all. He himself was not a kind person. If Lin Feiyin had not offended the military before, or had not made things worse, he might have been grateful in his heart, but she had already offended the military thoroughly. Even if he really wanted to help them now, what would the military think? Would they be angry about this?
So even if Lin Feiyin really wanted to help, he would not be grateful to her at all! When he said this, he deliberately misinterpreted Lin Feiyin's kindness as her dark thoughts and dissatisfaction with the military, so she took the opportunity to cause trouble!
When he said this, Lin Feiyin's face turned pale. She stared at the fat man who was speaking in disbelief. Then she suddenly realized that the criminals looked at her with disgust, which was not the gratitude she had imagined.
She was stunned, and couldn't understand what was going on. She was clearly helping these people, so how could they treat her like this? Why were they not grateful at all, but hated her instead?
What on earth is going on?
She looked bewildered and spoke at a loss: "I... I just want to help you..." She was good-looking, and this bewildered look made her look somewhat pitiful. Unfortunately, after seeing her unreasonable behavior, everyone no longer felt any sympathy for her.
Especially the group of people who were almost driven out of the safe zone before. They had already been extremely disgusted with Lin Feiyin when she sat down. Now seeing her pitiful appearance, not only did they not feel pity for her, but they thought she was deliberately pretending to be pitiful!
Lin Feiyin was really at a loss and helpless, then, she didn't know what she was thinking about, her eyes gradually became firm again. She looked at the prisoners and said, "Even if you don't understand me, I still want to say that I really want to help you. You don't have to feel psychologically pressured. I only do what I think is right, and I don't ask for your reward."
However, no one paid any attention to her. General Song directly announced that the criminals would be taken away and then the meeting was adjourned. Lin Feiyin panicked and wanted to chase after him. However, the people around her deliberately stood up at this time, and when they saw her trying to chase after him, they deliberately stretched out their feet to trip her.
Lin Feiyin kept looking at the direction where General Song left and didn't pay attention to her feet at all, so she tripped and fell.
Then, the people around her scattered, and someone even stepped hard on her deliberately!
Lin Feiyin suffered several ambushing attacks, but fortunately, those people knew their limits and did not deliberately attack her vital parts. In the end, she was only injured but her life was not in danger.
When the people around her had dispersed, when she looked again, both the prisoners and the three generals had disappeared.
Lin Feiyin fell helplessly to the ground, with several footprints on her body, looking extremely miserable.
