Chapter 86: Inaction? Kill!
After Zhao Jian announced the military order, he led everyone to start the rescue work.
Although there were some survivors in City D, most of them were hiding in air-raid shelters or deep basements, and many starved to death. The search and rescue operation lasted for three days until the five little ones could no longer find any other living people, and the rescue was terminated.
But a rescue team found more than a dozen survivors in an air-raid shelter. Apart from being in a bad mental state, they showed no signs of starvation.
The rescue team members were puzzled. Each rescue team was connected to each other, but they had hardly found any people who had not starved to death. The rescue team leader immediately gestured to the surrounding team members to pay attention to safety, and then carefully searched the air-raid shelter.
There were more than 20 human skeletons, all of which were scraped very clean. The rescue team leader directly ordered the rescue team members to detain the more than ten survivors for questioning.
Several people claimed that these were their relatives who had been killed by mutant beasts. The team leader was furious: "They were bitten to death by mutant beasts and left like this!? They were bitten to death with such intact skeletons?!"
The team leader was furious. He could understand how difficult it was for the survivors to survive in the apocalypse, but he absolutely could not agree to treating humans as food!
When Zeng Qi, the official base commander of City D, arrived, the dozen or so survivors had already been shot dead by the squad leader. He angrily shouted, "Who gave you the right to massacre civilians?"
The squad leader stiffened his neck and said, "I accept the sentence if you want me shot, but I can't let these man-eating beasts live! Otherwise, how can I explain to those who were eaten?!"
Zeng Qi was silent. Many survivors were watching. If soldiers killed survivors without authorization, the impact would be too bad!
Yin Shan sneered and said, "It's been so long since the apocalypse. I thought you guys were smart to survive the beast tide. Look here, most of the survivors are starving. If the soldiers hadn't just brought you food, you might have already gone to hell."
But I didn't expect you, a seemingly respectable person, to lose your mind after eating so much? Come and look at these people who were shot. Every one of them had a full belly! And look at those twenty or so skeletons. You have no idea how these people survived!
What? Do you feel like you’ve had enough of life and want to be eaten by someone else?
People who have eaten human flesh are like hidden gentlemen, don’t you know that?
Want to die? I'll help you! "
Then he pulled out a gun and pointed it at Zeng Qi. She wasn't a soldier. She had survived the apocalypse for so long, and morality meant nothing to her. Why would she save someone without a conscience? Would it make things difficult for her? Was she afraid of getting hurt less?
Besides, the man in front of me is full of bad intentions, so there is no need to keep him.
What a joke!
Zeng Qi advised, "Miss, please spare their lives. We are here to save people! If there are no survivors in the entire city of D, our operation will be meaningless!"
Hou Ting was speechless and said, "No objection? Then the more than ten soldiers we rescued who fought to the end should die!?
Also, who are you? You're dressed so sleekly, you don't look hungry, and you're the rescue team that brought you out!?
Come over and explain how this guy survived? Why does it seem like he's doing much better than the leader of the Kyoto base!?"
Zhao Jian was in a state of confusion. He believed that his soldiers had done nothing wrong. Zeng Qi, knowing that Major Ji and his men were trapped on Yueshan Mountain, not only did he not send anyone to support them, he even went into hiding. He had heard many survivors say that Zeng Qi had not taken any action to protect civilians.
And Zeng Qi's psychics actually hid like him! These people rushed over when they heard the rescue team started to move. They kept saying, "Finally, you've made it." They said a lot of high-sounding words, completely ignoring their own inaction.
He even expected Yin Shan to kill him directly. He was confident that his soldiers would never think that Yin Shan was not a good person just because he shot Zeng Qi, and he believed that these survivors were not fools either.
Sure enough, a survivor spoke up, "His name is Zeng Qi, and he's the person in charge of the official base in City D. When the beast tide came, he and his lackeys hid away and didn't pay any attention to us. We were the only ones who managed to hold out until you arrived by hiding!"
Normally, those people have all the luxury of fish and meat, living just like before the apocalypse, while we eat steamed buns made from cockroach powder! We only get one steamed bun every two days! And they make us constantly go out to find supplies, and when we come back, they search us and take all the supplies away!
Wang Lu was speechless. Even after all this, the people in City D didn't resist!?
Another survivor said, "Someone organized a resistance before, but he just sent his psychics to kill them all! He even starved us for a week! He said if anyone resisted again, he'd kill us all!"
"Kill him! Kill him!" The other survivors kept shouting. They also understood that the rescue team came from other cities. No matter whether these people would care about City D after the rescue, they had hands and feet. With so many people united, they could survive!
Yin Shan shrugged and said, "Ji Yang, arrest them all!"
Without waiting for Zhao Jian to speak, his men immediately came to help and tied up Zeng Qi and his lackeys in a few minutes.
Yin Shan said, "You enslaved civilians, avoided fighting, killed survivors without authorization, and disregarded organizational discipline. You must be killed!"
Then she said to the other survivors, "Why don't we vote? This is a democratic era after all. Those who agree stand to the left, those who disagree stay where they are, and those who are neutral stand to the right."
In less than a minute, all the survivors were standing on the left.
Yin Shan asked, "Will you take revenge on yourselves, or should I do it?"
When the survivors heard Yin Shan give them a chance to take revenge, they rushed forward, some throwing stones, some biting, and some punching and kicking.
Zhao Jian said, "Captain Yin, this isn't a good idea, is it? Let the survivors do it themselves?"
Yin Shan said, "If you don't give them a chance to vent, they'll always be wary of the authorities. You have to make them understand that even though it's the end of the world, as long as the state apparatus remains, someone will take charge of things for them!"
I think these people are good. Let them stay and participate in the reconstruction of D City. I will observe them for a while. If they are suitable, I will accept them!"
When encountering a beast tide, he can find a way to escape as soon as possible, and even when extremely hungry, he still retains the most basic humanity and will never delay revenge if he has the chance.
She likes it!
Zhao Jian twitched his lips. What could he say? Of course he agreed!
So he said, "In such a large city like D, there are only about 40 survivors left. It will probably take a long time to rebuild the city with just you and these 40 people."
Yin Shan asked, "Huh? Didn't you say you would help with the reconstruction? What's going on? Are you trying to shirk your responsibility?"
