Chapter 310 Fear
On that day, she was surrounded, pushed, and insulted by civilians without superpowers, and she couldn't even lift a finger to shut them up.
Xie Xiu held her with one arm and struggled to push through the crowd with the other, trying to get her out.
But the entire base erupted in riots, and the area outside the church was filled with people whose faces were filled with fear and hatred.
Even half of the superhumans joined the campaign to eliminate Fang Ke. They were the group who didn't usually have a close relationship with Fang Ke, and they started to waver in their stance at the slightest sign of trouble.
Some said their relatives and brothers were on the battlefield, their fates unknown. The way they looked at Fang Ke made them want to skin her alive on the spot.
The system then announced: "A significant increase in the host's malicious energy has been detected from the natives. The natives' resistance level has reached a high-risk level. The host should deal with the current thorny issues as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a risk to his life."
"Further punishment notice: Due to serious misconduct by the host, the host is hereby punished by being disabled from all items and skills for 72 hours. The host will experience the X404 world as an ordinary native."
"Warning: If the host does not survive the next 72 hours, there is a 98% chance that this instance will be destroyed."
After Xiaoqi finished speaking in a formulaic manner, she remained silent for a while before saying, "Host, you'd better take care of yourself."
Because of God's command, she could not provide any help to Fang, so she went offline.
Fang Ke found it quite amusing, but when she looked at the dark mass of people in front of her, at their hateful and righteous faces, she realized that she had underestimated human nature.
"It's all your fault, you vixen! My son is only 16 years old and he went to the front lines! He's so filial, just to accumulate one or two merits to exchange for resources after the war, and now you've ruined it all!"
A woman stood beside her, sobbing uncontrollably, pointing the finger at her as the murderer. Everyone around her felt great sympathy for her, after all, they had watched the child grow up, and now his life was in danger, all because of Fang Ke's vaccine!
Fang Ke hadn't said anything, but the woman suddenly went berserk and rushed up to slap her. Because there were people all around, Fang Ke really couldn't dodge the slap that was delivered with all her might.
Bang——!
A loud noise reverberated through the crowd, and there was a moment of silence before everyone took a step or two back.
The woman trembled as she backed away, saying, "Mr. Xie... you're still defending her!"
Xie Xiu, who had taken the slap for Fang Ke, now had half his face flushed red, and his temples were throbbing. He wondered if Fang Ke would have bled if the slap had landed on her.
Xie Xiu's expression was extremely ugly, and he said in a cold voice, "Get out of the way."
Xie Xiu has a high reputation. Even though he has stepped down from his post, many people still only recognize him because he has been protecting everyone since the outbreak of the apocalypse. They have witnessed his life-and-death struggles every time.
Some people couldn't stand it anymore and told the woman to calm down.
The woman stood frozen in place, then suddenly burst into tears as if the sky had fallen. She cried out, utterly aggrieved, "Mr. Xie, why are you protecting this witch? She's of unknown origin, she deliberately usurped your position, then used your position to infiltrate the biological research lab, developing that terrifying vaccine that turned the soldiers on the front lines into zombies… Now everything is over… There's no future, our home will be gone! So many of us here have been vaccinated! We're all going to die! It's all her fault! It's all her doing!"
Every word was written with heartfelt emotion, resonating with everyone.
Everyone surrounded Xie Xiu again, demanding that he hand her over. They wanted to thoroughly investigate the witch's origins and purpose, and they wanted to drain her blood to develop a serum to save everything. This was the only way.
Xie Xiu felt like he was about to split apart. He was driven to the brink of madness by the cacophony of voices. "Everyone... if you still believe me... please calm down... I promise you all an explanation..."
After a long silence, Fang Ke, who was in his arms, suddenly let out a strange and terrifying laugh. The laugh startled and frightened the hesitant crowd, who reflexively tried to hit her, shouting, "What are you laughing at! How dare you laugh!"
Fang Ke shoved Xie Xiu aside and showed no mercy to the people rushing at him. He could kick someone thirty meters away with one kick and knock them unconscious with one slap.
"Baby! Calm down!"
These people are just ordinary people, and Fang Ke could easily take on a thousand of them. However, there are many people with superpowers among them. If they join in, Fang Ke will not be so easy to deal with.
He didn't want Fang Ke to completely stand against everyone, because if the situation became one-sided, it would be impossible to control.
Fang Ke gave him only a cold look, as if he were looking at a stranger. Xie Xiu froze on the spot. He suddenly had a very bad feeling that Fang Ke was going to do something very extreme, which was why she wanted to sever ties with him at this moment.
Fang Ke tore off the hem of her wedding dress and smiled eerily at everyone, "Since you've all figured it out, I'm not going to pretend anymore. Sorry, I think it's better for this world to be destroyed."
Someone screamed in horror and demanded, "What do you mean?!"
Fang Ke chuckled and said, "Don't you think humans are like livestock, giving birth to litter after litter, overproducing, and only wasting oxygen and water resources? What use are you? Besides eating and sleeping like pigs every day, can you produce even the slightest value to this world?"
Everyone's face darkened; they were all furious upon hearing her words.
The auntie started talking again, "I knew it, you're a witch, you deserve to die...you deserve..."
Fang Ke smiled slightly at her, and she immediately froze. The rest of her words were stuck in her throat because of the horror and fear.
Fang Ke shook her head, seemingly not understanding, and said, "You were all scrambling to get the vaccines, and you sent your son to the battlefield yourself. Don't you know why he went to the front lines? Wasn't it for you, his mother, who had no survival skills in the apocalypse and could only live on supplies? To give you resources and a future?"
"Ha... You love your son so much, why didn't you go yourself? Do you know how high the mortality rate is on the front lines? Even without a vaccine, what do you think his chances of coming back alive are? He's only 16, and you personally pushed him into the battlefield. Now you're blaming the world, the vaccine, and me, and then you're relieved, right? Even if he dies, you can live with a clear conscience because you've already 'avenged' him?"
The woman's face was ashen, her expression one of surprise and uncertainty. Some conventional truths were laid bare, revealing just how ugly she was.
She covered her ears and yelled, "Stop talking!"
Fang Ke ignored her. Despite the various gazes and expressions from the crowd, she simply smiled coldly and indifferently.
"I don't want to say another word to these idiots. Call your chief to talk to me, or I guarantee that everyone here will die a violent death on the spot within three days and reunite with your relatives and friends on the front lines in the afterlife."
"You! Are you even human?!"
Fang Ke sneered, "You can't. Don't compare me to your lowly lives. Your life and death are in my hands. Oh, why don't you call me God?"
Everyone frantically retreated, screaming and getting away from her, "Witch...! Madwoman! Don't come near her! She'll kill people!"
Fang Ke turned to Xie Xiu, whose face was ashen, and said to him, "You see, fear is much more effective than explanation."
Xie Xiu looked at her with immense pain, hating his own powerlessness deep in his heart, "Baby..."
Fang Ke said coolly, "Don't call me that anymore. What I just said wasn't made up. I was originally going to destroy this world."
"Xie Xiu, let's end it here. Walk out and pretend you don't know me anymore."
