Chapter 315: Were you the one who took the lead in finding trouble just now?
"You thief! I'm back!"
The old chef suddenly appeared.
Although his attack power was strong, his level was not very high, and he was the type who could defeat monsters above his level. Therefore, the energy net did not affect him much. On the contrary, because the enemy's energy suppression disappeared, he quickly recovered.
Seeing the squirming blood mud, the old chef stepped forward and took a knife in each hand, chopping it up wildly with a loud bang, making full use of his years of superb knife skills as a chef to make the blood mud even muddier.
"Good swordsmanship." Wen Jiaojiao gave a thumbs up.
He suggested: "Let's wait for Xiao Qiaoqiao to come back and ask her for a piece of fresh meat so we can make dumplings to celebrate the victory. The dumpling filling will be up to you then."
The old chef put away his knife and stood up, looking majestic.
"I'm already far away from the kitchen! Please ask my son Geng Duofu to chop the stuffing!"
If there wasn't blood on the corner of his mouth from being beaten by the enemy, he would be more majestic.
"vomit--"
Fu Xingyuan, who arrived later, vomited.
I don't understand why these two people talked about dumpling fillings in front of a pool of enemy blood and mud. They are so careless. She will never dare to eat dumplings again!
After the blood mud was chopped by the old chef, it stopped moving.
There was no energy fluctuation at all.
"Is he dead...?" Fu Xingyuan took a quick glance and quickly looked away, not daring to look any further.
When it came to actual combat, she had somewhat overcome her fear, but she was still timid.
"Maybe, who knows." Wen Jiaojiao smoked casually, "Wait until the old lady comes and let her people check it out."
She really didn't care whether the enemy lived or died. If he wasn't dead, she would fight him again.
As they were talking, Mrs. Li, carried by her bodyguards and accompanied by several subordinates, arrived at lightning speed.
Testing equipment was also brought along.
The bodyguards monitored the bloody mud, and several subordinates surrounded it and immediately conducted various indicator tests.
After tinkering with it for a long time, the report said that the enemy "should" be completely dead.
This term is quite precise. It means that based on various tests, Teacher Xiang is already dead. However, due to several exceptional cases of resurrection from the dead appearing in the forefront of scientific research, such as Xiao Tang, the result cannot be completely confirmed at this time.
Staff Officer Li nodded, indicating that he understood the meaning.
He then announced to Wen Jiaojiao and the others, as well as the town security personnel who had arrived one after another, that the enemy was dead, the town was no longer in danger, and everyone could come back to the town to rest.
The energy net was immediately removed, and the sky gradually returned to its clear color.
The terrified survivors, supporting each other, returned to the town one after another. Since they hadn't fled far, returning was easy. Everyone was dejected, or their expressions were numb, the dullness that comes from having experienced so much. Some, who had just lost friends and family, were silent, or sobbing intermittently.
A gloomy cloud hung over the whole town.
The deputy manager appointed by Ye Qi, in accordance with the advice of Staff Officer Li, mobilized everyone to calm down and prepare for subsequent defenses as soon as possible.
Because it was only Teacher Xiang who came to cause trouble this time, we didn't know if he had arranged other subordinates, or if he had any backup plans. If there were subsequent enemies to attack, we couldn't just sit there and wait for death, we had to at least be prepared for battle.
After hearing this, some people immediately took action.
Those who could fight prepared to fight, and those who could not fight helped to clean up the town, collect the bodies of the victims, and clear the area.
However, some people are indifferent, decadent, or numb, and refuse to obey with sad faces.
Someone angrily asked: "Why didn't you open fire earlier? So many people died!"
"Yeah, why didn't the patrol members go up and fight sooner?"
"I was working on a construction site near the enemy. I saw that none of them fought against the enemy. They let them kill us. Only that crazy old man was fighting!"
"Isn't that old lady surnamed Li an official leader? Isn't she going to build an official base to protect us? But she runs away the fastest when she encounters danger."
Gradually more and more people agreed.
Staff Officer Li asked someone to find a loudspeaker, picked it up, and stood on a podium in the center of the town, ready to explain the situation.
The old lady felt very sad when she saw some survivors looking at her with anger and some crying for the death of their relatives and friends.
He gently explained, "Everyone, I understand how you feel about what happened today. The authorities will never allow anyone to be harmed by evildoers and have been actively rescuing people. I left town just now to receive instructions from the capital. The enemy's supernatural powers will interfere with signal reception, so I need to communicate outside the town. I need to tell everyone that our victory is not a unilateral matter on the part of the town. The capital will provide us with timely..."
"Don't talk so nicely!"
"What can you understand? You have food, clothes, and official rations. You are so high and mighty. How can you understand our hunger?"
"When danger strikes, you're the first to flee. You refuse to lead the battle, and even make excuses like you're waiting for orders from the capital?"
Several people below started shouting.
“Tsk.”
Wen Jiaojiao raised her chin towards Xiao Fu and said, "Go, you seem to have a bit of a mouth. Go and replace the old lady."
Fu Xingyuan was surprised, "Me? I'm not that good..."
"Better than me is fine. I don't want to waste time talking. I'm afraid I'll just kill them with one punch if I go up there and hold on."
"...Oh. Then, what should I say when I get up there?"
Wen Jiaojiao instructed: "Just say what you think Mr. Qiao would say in this situation. Got it? Hurry up and tell those people to shut up. They're getting me upset."
Fu Xingyuan thought about it, not quite understanding, "...Then I'll go up and try."
She obediently went up to the stage and snatched the loudspeaker from Staff Officer Li.
Old Mrs. Li: ...
How come this child is so strong?
Because Fu Xingyuan was from Qiao Lan's side, the old lady didn't feel offended. Seeing that she wanted to speak, she stepped aside and gave the podium to her.
"Hello? Hello?"
Fu Xingyuan cleared his throat and tested the volume.
When he looked up again, his whole demeanor had changed.
"Were you the one who started the trouble just now?" She looked at him coldly and pointed at a man in the crowd.
The man shuddered subconsciously, but he forced himself to speak with his neck stiff, "It's me, what's wrong? I'm not looking for trouble. I'm telling the truth, and it reflects everyone's feelings!"
"Voice of the heart? I'll let you voice your heart!"
Fu Xingyuan picked up a small stone that was used to support the corner of the table at his feet, and with a whoosh, he threw it at the man.
Boom, he was knocked unconscious.
The man fell straight down and was caught by the people around him who screamed.
Everyone looked at Fu Xingyuan in surprise.
Fu Xingyuan snorted coldly, "During the post-war reconstruction period, he deliberately stirred up trouble and misled people. This is looking for trouble and he is a black sheep! The patrol will throw him out of town and put him on record. He will not be allowed to enter the town or join the official base of City C in the future! If these guys are not punished, they will lead the good people astray!"
— In this situation, this is how Boss Qiao should act, right? Is my portrayal accurate?
She was secretly worried that she wasn't imitating Qiao Lan well enough, so she tried to make her expression even colder and looked down upon the entire audience.
