Chapter 664: Don't be too hypocritical

Shao Qi listened to the order and immediately surrounded the door with blood-sucking vines.

When the others arrived, they looked at the blood-sucking vines that were like living creatures, baring their fangs and claws at them, and did not dare to get close.

Zhou Mei heard the noise outside and immediately shouted for help.

"Help! Cheng Jiayi is crazy! She wants to kill me! Help!"

But those people did not dare to get close, and could only shout from a distance.

"Jiayi, calm down. The decision on Zhou Mei's punishment hasn't been announced yet. Can we discuss it again?"

"That's right, Jiayi. The survivors in the base are very vocal about her. If we kill her, how are we going to explain to the people?"

Someone saw Shaoqi standing at the door and said sternly, "Shaoqi, I order you to get out of my way."

Shaoqi had no intention of giving way at all. "Sorry, General Yu, I only listen to the orders of General Cheng and the eldest lady."

Cheng Jiayi turned a deaf ear to their words and shot Zhou Mei in the arm again, earning another sharp scream from Zhou Mei.

"Generals, we have made it very clear at the meeting that we will handle the matter of mutants. Now she and I have a personal grudge."

Zhou Mei looked down at Zhou Mei who was lying on the ground and continued coldly: "I have given her a chance, but this woman has no intention of repenting. Even so, are you going to let her leave safely?"

"Jiayi, we will take our time with the rest of the matter. We will educate her well. Her life is still useful now, so let her go."

Hearing this, Cheng Jiayi glared at the people outside, "If I let her go, who will let our whole family go?! Do you think our lives are less important than Zhou Mei's life?"

"Jiayi, don't say that. Both the two Generals Cheng and you are vital to the base, but with Zhou Mei here, the base can save some energy for livestock breeding."

"Yes, Jiayi, for the future development of the base, don't be willful!"

Cheng Jiayi paused, she slowly turned her head to look at the man who said she was willful, and then shot him in the foot without hesitation.

The people outside were so scared that they quickly retreated.

"Cheng Jiayi, are you crazy?!"

The man who was targeted was still in shock and cursed at Cheng Jiayi, "General Cheng has really ruined your habits. You dare to shoot at your elders. How can you be so uneducated..."

Cheng Jiayi didn't say anything, but listened to him silently. Then he spoke faintly, "Are you done scolding? Oh, you are angry now? Do you think I am too much? Look at your angry eyes, it seems that you want to tear me apart. But I didn't aim at you at all, and I didn't intend to take your life. I just You just wanted to scare us, but you can't stand it?"

She sneered and said angrily, "But Zhou Mei really wants our lives! If it were you, would you be so generous to spare her life? Oh, you wouldn't, you were just scared by my gun, but you got so anxious and yelled at me. If Zhou Mei wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be so hypocritical, right? Huh?"

Cheng Jiayi's cold eyes swept over the crowd. Their faces turned red and ugly, but they couldn't say a word.

After a long while, someone finally spoke up: "Cheng Jiayi, there is no result on the treatment of Zhou Mei yet. You should calm down first. We will definitely give you a satisfactory answer at the next meeting."

"Satisfactory answer?" Cheng Jiayi sneered, "Okay, but since you want to satisfy me anyway, why not do it now?"

The people outside saw Cheng Jiayi's intention and were about to speak to stop him, when they saw Cheng Jiayi's other hand with a long gun against Zhou Mei's forehead.

With a loud "bang", they watched helplessly as several bullets were fired from the gun, smashing Zhou Mei's head into pieces and splashing blood and flesh.

A burst of hurried footsteps came from the corridor, and several people soon ran over.

It was Cheng Xiuyi and Chi Ye who had just left.

They were called back by these generals halfway, in order to persuade Cheng Jiayi to stay, and then let Yun Shuhuai treat Zhou Mei's gunshot wound.

But these people did not tell Yun Shuhuai the specific reason, but hurriedly told her to go back again, so Cheng Xiuyi also accompanied her back.

However, when Yun Shuhuai came here, she had already sensed everything that happened here. She was late on purpose, and only ran over with Cheng Xiuyi after hearing the last gunshot.

"What happened?!" Cheng Xiuyi hurried over after hearing the gunshot, and then saw this scene in front of him.

Several generals looked at the room where Zhou Mei was imprisoned with pale faces. The blood-sucking vines blocking the door of the room dispersed and returned to Shao Qi's hands. The next second, a girl covered in blood walked out of the room.

It was Cheng Jiayi.

After she came out, she saw her brother and Yun Shuhuai and others beside her. She wiped the blood off her face and greeted them happily, "Hey, brother, why are you back?"

Those people also reacted and quickly began to accuse Cheng Xiuyi of his crimes.

"Xiuyi, you are finally back. Look at what Jiayi has done! She disregarded military law and killed Zhou Mei casually!"

"Miss Yun, go and see Zhou Mei. She is still useful and cannot die."

Yun Shuhuai did not move. He glanced casually into the room and said, "It is broken into pieces. The person has been dead for a long time. Even if he is still alive, I can't fight him back. You think too highly of me."

Cheng Jiayi used a shotgun in the end. At such a close distance, the head was shot off. It looked like a broken watermelon.

Cheng Xiuyi ignored the accusations of those people, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and carefully wiped the blood stains on Cheng Jiayi's face.

When those people saw it, they immediately scolded Cheng Xiuyi again.

"Xiuyi! You can't be so ignorant."

Cheng Xiuyi wiped the blood off his sister's face before turning to look at them.

"So what?"

"You——!"

"Cheng Xiuyi, I really misjudged you. You were not like this before! You don't take us old guys seriously now that you have power, right?"

Du Hao couldn't listen any longer and whispered, "Good guy, who doesn't take us seriously? I killed an enemy and still got criticized by others. You have a good temper, right?"

But no matter how soft his voice was, it was very clear in the empty corridor and everyone present heard it.

"What did you say?"

Xi Qing said disdainfully, "Didn't you hear clearly? I'm saying you are meddling in other people's business."

"You, you guys!"

"We what?" Du Hao couldn't stand it anymore and sneered back, "We solved the problem. We killed the Corpse King. Cheng Jiayi, a little girl, risked her life to do so many things for the base. You actually took your anger out on her for a criminal, and a criminal who wanted to kill her. To you, who is more important? Zhou Mei died, so she died. Anyway, she was going to die."

Yun Shuhuai also spoke up, "That's right. Speaking of which, Zhou Mei was in collusion with Luo Yan, and she is also an enemy of our Chiye. We caught her alive because we wanted the real victim to avenge her. If we had known it would be so troublesome, we would have let our Xi Ling kill her directly."

"That's right!" Du Hao continued, "You've really lost your mind to target Cheng Jiayi, who has so much supplies, just for a piece of meat."

Cheng Jiayi looked at Chi Ye and the others gratefully. It seemed that everyone was on her side, so she felt more confident.

Those people were so angry at their words that they couldn't say a word. They could only breathe heavily, and it seemed that they were very angry.

At this time, Cheng Xiuyi spoke up, "Generals, although Jiayi's way of dealing with Zhou Mei was inappropriate, our point of view has not changed. As a criminal who assisted Qi Jin in harassing the people at the base, Zhou Mei must die! Jiayi simply brought the result forward."

After a long while, those people said, "Okay, we understand, but how are we going to explain this to the people?"

Yun Shuhuai said, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago? Leave it to us to deal with it. They just want to eat meat. Can they give up Cheng Xiuyi and his sister for a bite of meat? If they think it's okay, then I really have nothing to say."

As he spoke, Yun Shuhuai chuckled as if he had thought of something funny.
