"Beast! Beast! I'm going to kill him!" Xiao Deng said. Everyone understood what was happening, yet no one could bear it.
"Xiao Deng," Ye Yunyi called out.
“Sister Yiyi, they don’t deserve to live,” Xiao Deng said.
“Yes, they don’t deserve to live, but wouldn’t it be too easy for them to die like this?” Ye Yunyi said.
"Don't worry, they will definitely be punished as they deserve." Ye Yunyi composed herself, turned around and said to everyone, "There are still 8 floors left. How many floors have windows open? Xiao Deng, you take your men and continue the rescue work. Then come and meet up here."
"Okay, Sister Yiyi." Xiao Deng left with her people, while Mao Mao remained by Ye Yunyi's side.
"Mao Mao, come on, let's go see how they are doing," Ye Yunyi said.
“Okay, Sister Yiyi.” Mao Mao’s voice was trembling with a sob.
They went to check on the situation of the people, who were terrified. Some of them were still able to communicate. Ye Yunyi and Mao Mao explained the current situation to them and found them some decent clothes. They left two people to take care of the injured person and then led the others to room 1803.
After settling Mao Mao in, Ye Yunyi inquired about the situation of the other groups. Fortunately, the other groups had a relatively smooth experience and did not encounter this situation again. Indeed, in Building 13, encountering one such situation was already outrageous and inhumane. If they encountered several more, how far would their humanity go?
Soon, Xiao Deng came down and joined them, along with the survivors. After another team completed the rescue, Ye Yunyi had a few people take the victims and Xiao Yu back to the villa area for resettlement and treatment.
Ye Yunyi, Xiao Deng, and Mao Mao sat in the living room, coldly watching the six people. The injured woman was bleeding profusely, moaning and begging Ye Yunyi and the others to save her. The others remained silent, perhaps knowing that Ye Yunyi and the others wouldn't let them off the hook once they saw 1804's condition.
Soon after, Zhao Yong and Xiao Qin arrived with Ma Dahai and the others. Xiao Deng took them to see 1804 and showed them the photos they had taken earlier.
Downstairs, since the zombies had been mostly cleared out, the person who had lost both legs was carried down. People who hadn't left their rooms for over a year couldn't hide their gossipy nature and came downstairs one after another. Even the stairwell and the zombie corpses all over the ground couldn't stop their gossipy spirits.
Zhao Yong and the others looked over, their expressions also very serious. Looking at the six people who were tied up, they wished they could skin them alive and tear them apart.
Cannibalism, such a cruel method of eating people, even in the apocalypse, still makes people grit their teeth in hatred.
"Sister, what are you planning to do?" Zhao Yong asked.
“Evil people deserve their just deserts. I want them to experience firsthand the pain they inflict on others,” Ye Yunyi said.
“Yes, killing these beasts with one blow is too lenient on them,” Xiao Qin added.
"Sister Yiyi, there are a lot of people downstairs talking about Building 6." Xiaozhi's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
Ye Yunyi walked to the window and looked down. Sure enough, there were already a dense crowd of people standing below.
"Zhao Yong, take these six with you. We're going to publicly execute them," Ye Yunyi said to Zhao Yong.
"Sister, this is too serious. Wouldn't it be bad if it spreads too widely?" Zhao Yong said.
"Yes, I did consider it before, but look, so many people already know. It's better to guide than to suppress. If we do it in private, it will inevitably lead people to suspect that we are ruthless. But I really can't give these guys a good ending."
“Zhao Yong, I’m still too emotional. I can’t be absolutely rational. I can’t tolerate this kind of evil.”
Ye Yunyi had thought a lot while waiting for them, but now that everyone knows, she feels that following her heart is the best thing to do.
“Sister, I understand. Let’s go now and expose their crimes to the light of day, so that evil will be punished.” Zhao Yong said as he had six people dragged downstairs.
The men, who had initially been ready to die, realized after hearing their words that their fate was more serious than death. They began to beg for mercy without any dignity, but the others ignored their pleas and showed them no kindness.
The rescued surviving residents, led by the security team, have already collected the zombie corpses and piled them up to one side, creating a small heap and clearing a space in the center of the community.
After they brought these people down, they couldn't help but surround them.
"Oh, so this is Chen Tao's house."
"Yes, this family was never a good family to begin with."
"He's involved in organized crime."
"That's right, they were only released last year, and people usually avoid them."
"So, it was their family that ate people?"
'Of course they did! I saw them carry Tao Ping away. His legs... they were gone from the thighs down, covered in blood.'"
"I have photos. I haven't had time to eat the leg yet; it's in the kitchen."
"Holy crap, I had just argued with his wife. Thank God I'm still alive and haven't been eaten."
...
There was a lot of discussion below, but when Ye Yunyi and the others left the six people in the center, everyone tacitly shut up.
Ye Yunyi stood beside them, cleared her throat, and then spoke: "Yes, as everyone knows, they ate people. They've survived for over a year by eating people. The entire 18th floor of Building 6 was a living hell. When we went to rescue them, they pretended to be weak and injured people. They even cruelly murdered the girl who cried for help."
"The man who was just carried away, I heard someone call him Tao Ping, right? His legs were probably just cut off today. He was lying in bed, and his legs were in the kitchen."
"Besides them, we don't know how many other people were injured. We haven't found any bodies or bones yet, but the survivors on the 18th floor, perhaps you know more."
"But no matter how many people they have harmed, since they have done cannibalism, they don't deserve to be called human beings." Ye Yunyi suddenly raised her voice.
"After discovering this, I thought a lot about whether I should let you know about it, after all, it's such a horrific thing. But since you already know, I'll make my statement too. I, Ye Yunyi, hate evil the most. Even in the apocalypse, I cannot tolerate the existence of such devils."
"Today we must avenge those who were harmed and eaten by them. And the greatest punishment for them is to repay them in kind."
"What is about to happen will make you uncomfortable, so if you cannot bear to watch, please leave." After saying this, Ye Yunyi looked at the crowd.
"I don't want to die, I was wrong, I didn't eat it, it's all his fault, it's all Chen Tao's fault, he forced us to do it, it's all his fault. Please forgive me, please forgive us." The woman cried again.
