Chapter 163: Fallen Crystal Core
Xia Yan took in their expressions and understood their concerns.
The more times like this happen, the more she, as a boss, must not panic.
"Ahem." Xia Yan coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention. "Don't worry, everyone. Since I can call you all here for a meeting, I naturally have corresponding methods here."
If you think about it, this seems to be the case.
Boss Xia had promised before that she would ensure their safety, and she must have a way.
Feng Bei, who was standing by, saw the surveillance footage and couldn't bear the stimulation again and burst into tears. The feeling of hovering on the edge of death was not pleasant at all.
Everyone followed Boss Xia's gaze and saw Feng Bei covering her face, and also saw the red marks remaining on her neck.
Needless to say, that's definitely what they did!
Everyone was indignant and wished Boss Xia would execute the two men on the spot.
What's the point of keeping people like this around? They're just trash that only harms their compatriots!
Xia Yan withdrew his gaze from her and slowly walked to the side.
"Everyone has understood what happened. These two have seriously violated the first and third store rules. As punishment, they will be sent on a day trip to a Level 5 zombie swarm and then eliminated."
She silently opened the zombie area map, and the interface that was originally a surveillance playback turned into an area map with different numbers of red dots flashing.
The two people hanging in the air finally understood at this moment.
It turns out that all of this was a trap carefully set by Boss Xia! He just wanted to find a suitable reason to get rid of them!
Xiong Xiong turned off all the lights in the hall at this time. The leisure area was completely dark except for the projections. The flashing red dots in different areas indicated something unusual and was filled with a terrifying atmosphere.
A tense atmosphere hovered above everyone's heads, as if a horde of zombies would break out of the curtain at any moment, roaring and rushing over, tearing and devouring them.
This aura also infected the man with pointed ears and the man with pigtails.
The bright light screen shone on Xia Yan's profile. Her lips were tightly pursed and her eyes were serious. It seemed that she really wanted to send them in.
The man with pointed ears slapped the transparent barrier hard, shouted out several people's names, and pointed at the back row of the crowd.
"Please help me say something——" If it wasn't for you, how could I possibly kill someone!
Xia Yan suddenly looked up and waved his arm, and the sound that had been echoing in the leisure area disappeared instantly.
The man with pointy ears didn't know this yet and continued to roar at the top of his lungs, his voice getting louder and louder until it soon became hoarse.
The man with pigtails beside him sat dejectedly, looking around with a pale face at the several people who had done business with them, then looked at the man with red face and thick neck, too lazy to remind him.
You idiot, it's no use yelling, they've already been silenced.
His right hand was hanging limply, his fingers curled up together, and it was clearly visible that the bones on the back of his hand were broken.
Waves of pain came over him, and the blood color on the pigtailed man's lips faded even more.
The man with pointed ears yelled for a long time and deliberately called out those people's names a few more times, but he didn't get the effect he wanted at all, and he couldn't help but wonder.
The group of people sitting outside clearly heard his voice...
"Did you hear that? He just said you..."
"Yeah, you mean us, right? You want us to help you plead for mercy? You're stupid."
"Oh, that's what I mean. I misunderstood."
"Is there any other meaning?"
"No, no, it's just as you said."
The bearded man and his wife didn't dare to raise their heads, listening to the conversation between the two people in front of them with fear, fearing that they would understand other meanings.
Why, why was he arrested? Isn't that amazing...
You won’t give them away, right?
It’s unfair. They had no choice. If you don’t give them the crystal cores, their lives will be wasted!
Amidst such public outrage, if they found out the truth was related to them, wouldn't they be thrown into the zombie horde together?
God bless you.
The bearded man sat a little unsteadily, moving left and right on the soft sofa and accidentally bumping into the person next to him.
As if they were electrocuted, the two separated instantly, looked at each other in shock, and then tightened their legs, trying not to touch anyone.
After a while, the bearded man realized something was wrong and looked sideways at him, then glanced behind him. Instantly, his blood rushed to his heart and his whole body trembled violently.
It soon attracted my wife's attention.
She tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered, "Don't keep shaking. It'll make it easy for others to see that something's wrong."
The bearded man suddenly grabbed her hand, which scared her. The temperature was not even cold yet, so why were his hands so cold?
He leaned close to her ear, trying to suppress his anger, and his hot breath rushed into her ear canal, hitting her eardrum word by word:
"Those two bastards made deals with so many people! We got scammed!!"
"What?"
The last word was like a huge hammer, smashing the eardrum and making the head dizzy.
The woman's eyes widened and her face turned pale in an instant.
Her voice was so loud that countless people turned their heads to look at her. The bearded man quickly covered her mouth and held her in his arms.
"It's okay, it's okay. We're not the only ones who were deceived. Even if the pointy-eared guy tells everyone, we can still say that he forced us to do it."
The woman's body was shaking even more severely than his.
After a while, the bearded man felt his clothes were wet.
Behind them, several families looked at each other. They knew why she was crying, and they also wanted to cry.
"I've chosen this one."
Xia Yan picked out a rather peculiar zombie map, clicked it to open it, and the screen was filled with it.
"But before you leave, you have to pay double for the damage!" She glared at him, "turn it upside down and shake it hard!"
The facade rotated 180 degrees and began to shake violently the next second.
The two men with pigtails turned red in the face and couldn't even open their mouths.
Everyone stretched their necks and stared at the secondary crystal cores that fell out with a crackling sound.
My goodness, with so many points, why would you take a life?
Xia Yan calmly scanned the fallen crystal core from her gaze to the last row of customers who had not checked in yet, whose eyes lit up but who dared not look her in the face. She did not look at all happy as she had when she first saw the crystal core.
It returned to its original position only after the two of them could no longer shake out crystal cores.
The dimensional body took the initiative to gather the secondary crystal cores together and sent them to Xia Yan.
No one spoke in the leisure area, and everyone's eyes were fixed on one spot.
There was no smile on Xia Yan's face, and he really couldn't be happy.
The two people who were shaking their heads and trying to wake up were directly thrown into the map.
...
The pointy-eared man and the pigtailed man's eyes blurred again, and they found themselves in a place that was both strange and familiar.
The two of them slumped over on the spot, holding their heads and gasping for breath. Their brains were like a pool of colorful paste, eroded and disgusting.
After five or six minutes, they stood up again and looked around.
Behind him was a rusty iron door with a chain.
Not far away there were several corpses with only the upper bodies left after being eaten.
His body was covered in bruises, with purple veins all over his skin, and he died unwillingly with his eyes staring at him like cataracts.
One of the bodies looked familiar.
The man with pointed ears took a closer look in disbelief, then stepped back with his eyes wide open.
Isn't this my cousin?!
Wasn't he locked up in the attic by himself? Wasn't he eaten by zombies? Why was he here?
Could it be...
The man with pointed ears didn't dare to think any more. He ran to the edge of the platform and found that the two of them were now on the top floor of a high-rise building.
"What's going on? Why did you suddenly come here..."
He hit his head hard with a hammer, thinking he was hallucinating again.
The man with pigtails took a quick look at him, who looked like he had gone mad, and found a place to sit down.
The wrist of his right hand was swollen and terribly purple.
He glanced at the sharp-eared man.
Take off your short sleeves, tear them into strips, and wrap them tightly around the top to secure it.
The process was extremely painful and I was sweating all over after wrapping it.
Damn, wait, this bastard abandoned his friends and ran away on his own.
