Chapter 640 What's past is past
Those in front quickly noticed the anomaly behind them.
Seeing Feng suddenly leave, Qingyu's expression immediately became complicated.
He also recalled the scene that had displeased Han Shuo and his group that day...
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
Fortunately, Han Shuo only stood there for a short while before turning around again.
He walked up to Qingyu, forced a smile, and began to speak.
"Let's go, brother. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Qingyu nodded apologetically to him without saying anything more.
As for what Feng didn't want to do, they all knew that no one could persuade him to change his mind.
Feng is a free spirit who acts according to his own conscience...
Actually, so much time has passed, and although what happened last time still upset him, he no longer dwells on it too much.
He chose not to go to the city for only two reasons:
Firstly, he had truly grown accustomed to the quiet of being alone.
Secondly, many new faces have joined this ice city, as well as many people who have never seen him before.
He didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble for anyone else because of himself...
...
After the atmosphere at the scene had calmed down for a while, Qingyu led Han Shuo and the other two forward again.
Following the gap in the ice wall, the group entered the ice city.
As soon as he entered, the fat man was captivated by the scene before him, even forgetting the cold he was feeling.
One after another, tiny igloos, the kind of houses you only see in movies or at the North and South Poles, appeared before the three of them.
Besides these, there are some unfinished igloos and some simple tents nearby.
As for houses built of wood and stone, they are extremely rare here...
Most of the people coming and going here are new faces who joined the Qingyu team later.
Wearing thick, warm clothes, they all put down their work and turned to stare curiously at Han Shuo and his two companions.
...
Ignoring the surprised looks from the crowd ahead, the fat man shouted, clearly finding the little igloos incredibly novel.
"Wow! This is even more fun than the snow parks I've been to before."
After he finished speaking, he excitedly crawled into an empty little igloo and rolled around on the bedding.
And you know what? Because the igloo is sturdy and airtight, and ice is a poor conductor of heat, the residual heat from the fire inside wouldn't easily travel through the ice to the outside, so he actually felt quite warm inside.
Han Shuo and Xiao Zhao were also intrigued by the fat man and went inside to experience it for themselves.
While the three were enjoying themselves, Qingyu quietly gave a few instructions to the soldiers beside her.
The soldiers quietly left immediately after receiving the order.
...
Not long after the three of them came out of the igloo, a large group of people came running over from a distance.
From a distance, Han Shuo turned his head and frowned after just one glance.
Because he remembered the faces of these people; they were the very group of people they least wanted to see.
To his surprise, as soon as they arrived, they all bowed deeply to them apologetically.
Immediately, a series of apologies reached the ears of the three.
"We're sorry, we were wrong!"
“We shouldn’t have driven you away last time; we were so ignorant.”
"If I could do it all over again, I would definitely slap myself hard."
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
...
This scene was naturally arranged by Qingyu on the orders of the soldiers.
However, it wasn't intentional; the soldiers simply called these people over, and they themselves genuinely knew they had made a mistake.
Because when the apocalypse first arrived, these ordinary survivors had not yet suffered too much hardship before being rescued by the guards and taken to the underground research institute.
During this period, despite working day and night, they didn't really have a clear understanding of the cruel post-apocalyptic environment.
Later, the underground research institute was destroyed. The guards covered their successful evacuation, and Qingyu led them on their escape, protecting them well along the way.
It was precisely because of this airtight protection that they developed the idea that the apocalypse wasn't so terrible.
Absolute ignorance, coupled with blindly following the crowd, gradually caused them to lose their ability to make their own judgments.
When a human they don't know and who seems potentially threatening appears close to them, this group of people doesn't think much and instinctively wants to drive him away.
Therefore, that scene unfolded...
...
However, after Han Shuo and his group left, Qing Yu led everyone through several major crises on their escape journey.
When zombies and other alien species tore through the soldiers' lines and rushed in front of them, slaughtering their closest friends, the soldiers were truly terrified.
It wasn't until that moment that they truly came to their senses.
If Han Shuo and his group hadn't been driven away, and if they had had more powerful forces to resist the aliens, so many of their friends, relatives, and even children wouldn't have died.
Unfortunately, there is no going back in this world. This is the heavy price they have to pay for their past ignorance.
...
At the same time, Han Shuo also noticed that the number of people in front of him had decreased significantly.
He knew what was going on without even thinking about it.
Looking at the people in front of him, their eyes filled with tears, constantly apologizing and repenting, the fat man pursed his lips and turned his head away.
Xiao Zhao's face darkened, and he clearly looked angry.
However, Han Shuo's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
If he hates you... how could he not hate you?
But do all ignorant people deserve to die? Everyone has the right to live...
Having gone through so much, he was exhausted and didn't want to dwell on anything anymore.
He didn't want to live in hatred forever.
Turning his head to look at Qingyu's cautious yet expectant eyes, Han Shuo shifted his gaze back to the group of people in front of him.
Sigh~
A sigh escaped his lips, and he waved wearily.
"That's enough, that's enough, what's done is done..."
After he finished speaking, everyone in front of him slowly raised their heads. They knew that Han Shuo had forgiven them, and they thanked him repeatedly with gratitude.
"Thank you, thank you..."
...
Seeing this, Qingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and waved to disperse the crowd.
Soon, led by the soldiers, the group left the place as if relieved of a heavy burden.
Han Shuo and the other two smiled again.
Sometimes, only when both sides take a step back can they truly feel at peace.
Sometimes, taking the initiative to apologize and choosing to forgive is not too difficult.
