Chapter 404 is unclear.
At this point, the two sides were still in a standoff.
One of them remained silent, staring angrily at the crowd in front of him.
Meanwhile, the other side continued to hurl curses.
Soon, the commotion attracted the attention of people in the distance.
The first to arrive was Commander-in-Chief Yu Qing.
Upon discovering the conflict, she quickly mobilized all the nearby guards.
When she pushed through the crowd and saw that the people surrounded were Han Shuo and his group, she did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered the soldiers to surround all the ordinary survivors.
"What are you doing! All of you, get back here!"
However, these ordinary survivors had long since lost their most basic rationality.
They got carried away with their insults, and the more they looked at Han Shuo and his group, the more threatening they felt.
As if they were certain the soldiers wouldn't dare shoot them, they continued to push forward frantically, shouting vicious words.
"Kill them! They're spies sent by the Zombie King!"
"Yes! That guy in sunglasses is about to turn into a zombie, we have to get rid of him as soon as possible!"
...
Hearing these words, Yu Qing was furious. For the first time, she felt that these ordinary survivors were incredibly stupid.
Just as she was about to order the soldiers to force the group to leave, some more people squeezed in from the crowd.
Qingyu arrived, and behind him, besides a few personal guards, were Dr. Lin and a group of researchers.
Before they knew it, almost everyone in this large team had gathered here.
Qingyu had already heard about the situation here on her way here.
He first nodded apologetically toward Han Shuo, then roared angrily with a cold face.
"Shut up, all of you!"
As the voice faded, the ordinary survivors gradually quieted down.
His status as a leader, coupled with the prestige he had built up here during this period, still held some sway.
...
Then, Qingyu walked directly forward, faced the group of ordinary survivors, and loudly rebuked them.
"The person you're talking about isn't a zombie, and neither are they spies sent by the Zombie King!"
After he finished speaking, whispers arose from the crowd, as if they had taken Qingyu's words to heart.
But soon, the balance was broken, because when they recalled Feng's eyes again, fear arose in their hearts once more.
"I don't believe it! His eyes are exactly the same as a zombie's."
"That's right, he may still have a sliver of humanity left, but sooner or later he will completely turn into a zombie!"
"The person wearing sunglasses has been infected with the Ice Crystal Virus..."
"Furthermore, we've never seen this person before in the underground research institute, so he definitely hasn't been given any inhibitors!"
...
Similar words rang out again, and Qingyu, looking at the people in front of her, couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
At that moment, Dr. Lin walked over with a document in his hand.
He also wanted to defend Feng, after all, Han Shuo and his group were their saviors not long ago.
"Look everyone, here is a detailed analysis of the Ice Crystal Virus. If a normal person is infected, they will definitely turn into a zombie within 20 minutes."
“He has been living with us all this time, and the fact that he hasn’t turned into a zombie proves that he’s really okay.”
"Oh right, and he just helped us kill the Human-Faced Corpse Spider yesterday. We can't treat our savior like this."
As Dr. Lin spoke, he spread out the documents in his hand and showed them to the people in front of him.
However, these ordinary survivors couldn't understand any of this. Some of them snatched the documents away and tore them to shreds on the spot.
Seeing this, Li Shurou could no longer hold back.
She shook off the fat man's arm, rushed out of the crowd, and stood in the middle, shouting excitedly.
“Feng is indeed a person, and we are not spies sent by the Zombie King.”
"We've helped you twice already, you can't treat us like this!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of scornful laughter came from the crowd in front of her.
"Hmph! Easier said than done. Isn't the reason you're doing this just because you have ulterior motives?"
"Get out of our team, we don't want to live with you."
"Exactly, protecting zombies is disgusting..."
This time, these people were clearly going even further. Just as Li Shurou was about to speak up and continue to defend herself, suddenly! Someone threw a stone from afar, which hit her on the forehead.
"ah--!"
Li Shurou screamed in pain as the sharp edge of the stone cut her skin, and blood immediately flowed down her cheeks.
The next instant, the fat man ran forward and quickly pulled her back. Seeing the blood on her forehead, his anger flared up uncontrollably.
"Grass!"
He roared and was about to raise his axe to avenge Li Shurou when a figure rushed past him.
"Enough!"
It was Han Shuo, who was also burning with rage at that moment.
He could ignore their insults and pay them no heed, but he could never tolerate anyone harming his friend's life.
The person who threw the stone just now clearly touched a nerve.
And there it was!
Han Shuo quickly rushed into the crowd and, with his sharp eyesight, immediately spotted the man who had thrown the stone.
Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his hand and grabbed the man by the neck, pulling him out of the crowd.
The next second, in front of everyone, he kicked the man hard in the chest.
"Crack!"
"ah!"
With the sound of bones breaking, the man screamed and flew backward several meters, crashing into a nearby wall before falling unconscious.
His kick was delivered with no restraint; even if the man didn't die, he would likely spend the rest of his life in bed.
...
"Ah! Murder!"
"See, I knew there was something wrong with these people. They're not one of us. How dare they attack us!"
"A cancer! They are a cancer on the team!"
...
The scene instantly erupted into chaos, with all sorts of harsh words emanating from the crowd.
Li Shurou, with tears in her eyes, collapsed to the ground.
At that moment, she ignored the wound on her forehead, feeling both wronged and powerless.
She stared at the group of people in front of her with a vicious look, as if she recognized them somewhat.
She had experienced this scene before...
However, at that time, she wasn't standing with her friends. Instead, she stood on the opposite side of Han Shuo, just like the people in front of her, saying hurtful things and looking at them with vicious eyes.
This feeling of being slandered and unable to explain herself was truly distressing for her.
Only now has she finally understood the feelings Han Shuo had back then.
At this moment, she finally understood the bitterness in Han Shuo's heart that day.
Sometimes, you can never truly empathize until you experience it yourself...
