Anyone with eyes could see that Zheng Zemin was already beyond saving before Chi Xia's fire even started.
Master Zhuo didn't know what to do. Did Zheng Zemin deserve to die? Although he was a scoundrel and human life was worthless in the apocalypse, he really didn't deserve to die.
Master Zhuo knew the purpose behind Chi Xia's act of setting the fire.
Because Chi Xia once said that Zhang Xin was her person, so she was responsible for him.
If Zhang Xin uses his powers on the people in the base without authorization, then Zhang Xin will be at the base's mercy. However, if Zhang Xin causes a death, Chi Xia will take matters into her own hands and repay a life with a life.
Right now, Zheng Zemin hasn't made a move against Zhang Xin, but it's not impossible for him to make a move against Lan Yu.
Therefore, Zhang Xin did everything from beginning to end.
If Chi Xia's promise were true, then she should now fulfill it and personally kill Zhang Xin to repay him with a life.
But Chi Xia couldn't do it, so before Zheng Zemin died, she set the fire and killed Zheng Zemin's people, turning Zhang Xin into Chi Xia herself.
Master Zhuo looked at Zhang Xin, then at Chi Xia, and sighed deeply.
Suddenly, Liu Qing shouted from the crowd, "Captain Chi, what kind of good guy are you? Anyone with eyes can see that Zhang Xin killed the person. What did you say before? Zhang Xin was your man, you were responsible. If Zhang Xin killed someone, you were to personally take his life to pay for it. Qiu Hongying is one thing, she deserved to die, but what did Captain Zheng say?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xin stepped forward, about to speak, but was pulled back by Li Han beside her.
Li Han frowned as he looked at her, and whispered in her ear, "Since Sister Chi has taken this on, she must have her reasons. Keep a close eye on things and don't make things worse by acting impulsively!"
Zhang Xin lowered her head and stopped talking.
Chi Xia naturally noticed Zhang Xin's actions, and seeing that she had been persuaded by Li Han, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
She looked at Liu Qing in the crowd and said, "Zhang Xin did make a move. According to the promise, I am willing to let her accept the base's punishment. But you said that she killed Captain Zheng. However, everyone saw that when I set the fire, Captain Zheng was still alive. So the person who killed him was not Zhang Xin, but me."
"Lies!" Liu Qing sneered. "This is blatant sophistry!"
“I don’t think this is sophistry, it’s the truth.” Chi Xia looked at Liu Qing: “If Captain Liu insists that Zhang Xin killed the person, then please provide evidence.”
evidence?
People have turned to ashes, so what evidence could there be?
Liu Qing jumped up in anger: "You're talking nonsense with your eyes closed! You're just trying to protect Zhang Xin, that Black Widow!"
Upon hearing this, Chi Xia's gaze suddenly turned cold: "Whether or not I cover it up is up to me. Fourth Master Zhuo hasn't given the order yet, so what are you yelling about, Captain Liu?!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qing immediately turned to Master Zhuo and said, "Master Zhuo, I know that Chi Xia and the others have high-level abilities, but Zhang Xin, that Black Widow, really can't be kept any longer. If she stays any longer, everyone in the base will die!"
These words were met with silent nods from those around him.
"This..." Master Zhuo looked at everyone, then turned to Chi Xia: "Look..."
"I know." Chi Xia nodded and said apologetically to Master Zhuo, "We've caused you and the base trouble. I have no objection to whatever decision you make."
Master Zhuo sighed, looked at Zhang Xin, and finally said to Chi Xia, "Zhang Xin has to leave the base."
“Okay.” Chi Xia readily agreed, “But I will go with her.”
Li Han stepped forward: "I'll go with you too."
Liu Daniu chimed in, "Me too!"
