Chapter 100 Some People Believe in Reincarnated Individuals
Military trucks and more than a dozen police cars were parked at the Nanhua Municipal Stadium.
This place is home to a large number of people who didn't have time to go home.
The zombie eradication work is difficult to complete in a short time. The existing police and military forces in Nanhua can only clear the zombies in public areas while gathering residents who are unable to go home and tourists from other places in the stadium.
Another portion of troops will be dispatched to protect the stadium.
Only in this way can we concentrate our efforts to protect the living to the greatest extent possible.
The people transferred from Nanhua Detention Center were all handcuffed and escorted off the vehicle in an orderly manner by the police officers. Unlike ordinary residents, they were taken to a corner for guarding.
After Yang Yicheng and his entourage got out of the car, Lu Wei, Lin Xi, and Xiang Xin got out one by one.
A police car was parked at the entrance of the stadium, containing survivors that officers had just gathered from the streets.
Looking at the overcrowded stadium and the sparse military presence surrounding it, Lin Xi felt a slight unease.
The stadium was packed with people, and survivors were still pouring in. With such a high population density, if an infected person were to suddenly attack, the living would have nowhere to run and could easily be wiped out.
But right now, no one in the stadium can leave.
Some people were shouting that they wanted to go home, but they were stopped by the police. Those who went out were exposed to danger. If they were caught by zombies, then humanity would have one more zombie enemy.
Lin Xi could only stay at the gymnasium for the time being.
Xiang Xin stared angrily at the supplies transferred from the detention center and said, "Can I get my ita bag back first? I really want to give my goddess to Sister Lin."
The bag she was pointing to had a plastic film on the outside, and inside were neatly arranged various anime badges, with a row of anime character keychains hanging from the bag strap.
Lin Xi didn't know what an ita bag was, but she saw her own small bag and suitcase.
The dedicated police officers brought them all over.
If you get your own suitcase, it contains a waterproof jacket that is not easily damaged, weapons such as a baseball bat and a knife, as well as some emergency supplies such as compressed biscuits.
With these things, she would feel much more confident.
Xiang Xin looked around and pointed to a spot, saying, "They're handing out mini breads over there, can we go get some?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Hua, who was distributing food to the people in the detention center, handed over three small bread rolls.
Lin Xi truly felt the hunger; she hadn't eaten since the detention center fell.
The three of them squatted silently in the corner, each munching on a small piece of bread. Lin Xi whispered to Lu Wei, "The timeline is messed up again."
In my previous life, a zombie outbreak occurred in Nanhua around 5 PM on May 20th, and was completely eradicated within a month. Subsequent outbreaks occurred in Wuzhou and Yunxiang. This time, however, it has also broken out in Nanhua.
Lu Wei seemed to be thinking: "What do you mean?"
Lin Xi: "What I mean is that we've all been using the wrong approach. Addressing the zombie infection source by targeting Hongwen Hospital can only provide short-term control. The virus will still spread in ways we don't know. We need medical support."
Unfortunately, among the accountant, the lawyer, and the anime enthusiast, none of them were experts in medicine or virology.
Lin Xi finished the small piece of bread quickly, and then saw Yang Yicheng, who had just parted ways, walking through the crowd with a few people, seemingly on patrol.
Lin Xi avoided eye contact.
Lu Wei alertly noticed this subtle movement: "I forgot to ask you earlier, why are you afraid of him?"
Lin Xi raised her left hand, which was still wrapped in bandages; it was injured by Yang Yicheng.
Lu Wei: "Yang Yicheng shot you because he mistook you for a terrorist who was committing murder, and temporarily stopped your violent act."
"I know."
Otherwise, why would Yang Yicheng, a soldier, shoot himself? At that time, the zombie outbreak had not yet occurred on a large scale, and order was still in place.
Lin Xi was annoyed when she saw Yang Yicheng: "How exactly do you know him? Is he a reincarnated person?"
Lu Wei shook his head. "But when I suggested that Hongwen Hospital might be under terrorist attack, many people didn't believe me and asked me to provide reliable intelligence. Only Lieutenant Yang came to provide support. I tested him, and he is not a reborn person."
Lin Xi: "Then why should he trust you and come to help you?"
Lu Wei: "I want to make a name for myself."
Lin Xi was skeptical: "He sounds like a bright and promising young man."
Lu Wei: "In your previous life... I'm afraid you had other grudges, right?"
Lin Xi was surprised that he could see that: "How did you know that?"
Lu Wei: "Your stress response is quite obvious."
She avoided eye contact and subconsciously shrank her neck.
Lin Xi understood; Lu had never seen Lin Xi like this before.
Previously, Lin Xi had also reacted to Lu Wei's timid and evasive behavior, which led to Lu Wei noticing her and pulling her out as an infected person.
Lin Xi raised his right hand: "Well... my right hand was also shot by him. Thanks to him, my right hand was crippled until I died in my previous life."
Therefore, he developed a nimble left hand, and in this life, he wields a knife with both hands to kill his enemies.
Then Yang Yicheng broke his left hand.
Lu Wei stared at Yang Yicheng's uniform: "Why?"
Lin Xi: "People change. In the apocalypse, besides the deadly zombies, there are also the evil deeds people commit in order to survive after the collapse of order. You must have seen them."
Lu Wei seemed to be thinking of unpleasant memories and fell silent.
Lin Xi gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what kind of person Yang Yicheng is, I must stay away from him. If I see him doing evil again, I will smash his hands."
Xiang Xin peeked out from the side and asked quietly, "Just a broken hand?"
Lin Xi: "?!"
She had completely forgotten that Xiang Xin was right next to her, constantly watching the pain package, and that Xiang Xin was actually listening to their conversation.
Lin Xi: "What did you hear?"
Xiang Xin's eyes sparkled with excitement: "I heard about the entanglements of past and present lives. Sister Lin, Brother Lu, are you reincarnated?"
?
Lin Xi always thought that no one would believe her if she told them, but Xiang Xin pointed it out herself.
The secret that had been suppressed for so long was so easily believed by one person.
Before she could answer, Xiang Xin blurted out, "So it was true when you said you were going to save the world on May 20th!"
Lin Xi now gets digging her toes into the ground whenever she hears "save the world." She said it casually, but Xiang Xin took it seriously and kept shouting about it.
"Keep your voice down, this..."
Xiang Xin: "So it's true! You really are reborn people?"
"Shh!" This time, Lu Wei couldn't help but call out to Xiang Xin to stop.
Xiang Xin gave an "OK" sign, but her smile grew brighter and brighter. Even lowering her voice couldn't hide her urgency: "So, do you guys have awakened superpowers? Like the space manipulation of Teacher Tiaozi? Or summoning heroic spirits? Or..."
"Stop!" Lin Xi quickly denied, fearing the anime girl might get carried away.
Lu Wei added, "...If he did, he wouldn't be locked up in a detention center."
Lin Xi: "..."
Xiang Xin finally calmed down and continued to press, "Where were we? Sister Lin, Lieutenant Yang broke both your arms? You only wanted to break his arms in revenge? My God, I love you even more, brave, kind, and fair Sister Lin!"
Lin Xi's uninjured right hand was grabbed and shaken by Xiang Xin, and she couldn't help but facepalm: "You can love me, but don't call me Sister Lin. It sounds like my cousin's name."
Xiang Xin: "Okay, okay, Sister Xi. So, how many times have you been reborn?"
Lin Xi: "9."
"How did they all die?"
Lin Xi had never faced such enthusiastic affection from Xiang Xin before, and she was somewhat evasive: "Some of it is because of zombies, some are persecuted, and some are my own..."
Xiang Xin: "So, after you were reborn, did you take revenge on those who harmed you in the past? Like trying to break Lieutenant Yang's hand?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Wei also stared intently at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi thought to herself: What? Do you want to see if I want to hit you on the head twice?
But she shook her head and answered the question seriously: "No. I want to eliminate the zombies. In a society governed by the rule of law, they can't harm me."
To say that I don't hate him at all is impossible.
Call her cowardly or a saint, but she never considered killing Yang Xin, Lin Jie, or the people from the shady shop downstairs first.
If she only died once and was only harmed by one person, she might hold a grudge.
There are too many people who have persecuted her, either directly or indirectly, and she has died too many times; it's impossible to hold them all accountable.
The most important thing is to eliminate the zombies first, and use her meager power to change her fate of destruction.
Xiang Xin gave Lin Xi a thumbs up and leaned in to touch Lin Xi's arm: "Sister Xi, from now on you are my goddess. When I get the ita bag back, I will give you my most precious female warrior pendant."
Lin Xi was still not quite used to this excessive enthusiasm, and smiled somewhat stiffly.
It took Xiang Xin a long time to calm down, and she smiled and silently digested what she had just seen and heard.
With the peace and quiet restored, Lu Wei asked again, "There's one more thing I haven't asked you yet."
Lin Xi: "?"
Lu Wei: "I only hit you when you were a zombie. Later, you were a little scared when you saw me. I realized that you were a reborn person."
Lin Xi didn't know what was so interesting about this. "Anyone would be scared if they were killed three times by the same person."
"But you're a zombie."
"What? Are humans allowed to be afraid of zombies, but zombies aren't allowed to be afraid of humans?"
Lu Wei pointed out the key point: "Your zombies are conscious and have memories."
"yes."
Lu Wei: "But I died when I became a zombie and went straight into the next cycle. My zombie form has no consciousness or memories of me."
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant—Lin Xi didn't want to be eaten by zombies, so he directly joined the zombies and lay down without pain until the zombies were killed before entering the next cycle.
But Lu Wei was different; he died the moment he turned into a zombie.
"But I don't know why... Moreover, my zombies are not under my control. I only know what happened, but I can't control my corpse."
Both of them pondered the question silently.
A series of orderly footsteps approached. Lin Xi looked up and saw Yang Yicheng coming in their direction. She exchanged a glance with Lu Wei, then pulled Xiang Xin along, pretending to take a walk to get away from this guy.
Although Xiang Xin was not a reincarnated person, she trusted Lin Xi's words completely. Now that she saw Yang Yicheng, she was also full of resistance and quickly followed in Lin Xi's footsteps.
They wanted to blend in with the refugees and then adapt to the situation.
Seeing them move, Shen Hua shouted a reminder: "Stop!"
The three pairs of legs disobeyed his commands and veered towards the crowd in unison.
"Click!"
Lin Xi heard the sound of the trigger being pulled.
"!"
here we go again……
Lin Xi didn't dare to turn her head. She took a slow, deep breath and when she calmed down, she found that the gun was pressed against Lu Wei's shoulder and not aimed at her. Yang Yicheng stood aside, blocking the civilians' view.
Lin Xi: "?"
Lu Wei: "?"
Xiang Xin breathed a sigh of relief, as if to say, "I knew they weren't aiming at me."
Shen Hua walked towards them from the front, blocking their way.
Shen Hua: "Lu Wei, Lin Xi, and Xiang Xin, from now on, the military will take over the three of you."
What does "takeover" mean?
Shen Hua: "The research institute just submitted a report that the same virus found on the clothes of the deceased at Hongwen Hospital is the same virus found on the zombies, confirming that they were infected."
Xiang Xin: "Doesn't that prove Lin Xi is innocent? She should be released!"
Shen Hua shook his head and said, "Captain Lu, oh no, now Attorney Lu, reported before that there would be a terrorist attack at Hongwen Hospital, which led to our joint operation. But we caught Lin Xi at the scene. However, this virus had never been announced before today. How did Lin Xi know about it?"
Xiang Xin: "If I told you they were reborn and knew about the disaster on May 20th, would you believe me?"
Lin Xi winked and winked: Please, stop talking!
Shen Hua stared at her intently: "Your behavior is very strange. I am more inclined to believe that the three of you may be suspected of committing the crimes of releasing dangerous substances and endangering public safety."
Apart from Xiang Xin, no one would believe in the concept of rebirth.
Lu Wei foresaw the disaster, Lin Xi prevented it in advance, and Xiang Xin was Lin Xi's assistant.
But before today, no information about the virus had been released, so how could Lin Xi and Lu Wei have known in advance?
Shen Hua added, "No conclusion has been reached yet. We just need you to cooperate with the investigation. If you are truly innocent and have done a good deed, justice will be served. Don't worry, the relevant departments will protect your safety during this time."
Lin Xi's right eyelid twitched: How could it have fallen into Yang Yicheng's hands?
She was on edge when a scream came from not far away.
Everyone looked toward the sound of the scream and saw a group of people scattering in all directions, revealing the person biting someone in the center, or rather, a zombie.
Yang Yicheng instantly pointed his gun at the zombie, but after aiming it several times, he didn't fire.
There were too many people in the stadium, and the zombies were in the middle of the crowd, so it would be easy to hit civilians if you fired your gun.
Lin Xi watched the tearing scene, clenched her fists, and took a step forward with her right foot.
Shen Hua stopped them, saying, "You can't move!"
Lin Xi said anxiously, "The crowd is too dense. You can't shoot. Let me go. I can fight the zombies in close combat."
Although she didn't have a dagger, she still had her martial arts skills, and since there weren't many zombies at the moment, they were easy to kill. It would be troublesome once the zombies infected other people and their numbers increased.
Shen Hua was still hesitating when Yang Yicheng pushed away the handcuffs Shen Hua offered: "Let her go, I'll assist with a gun."
Lu Wei and Lin Xi stepped forward at the same time towards the two zombies. They had both done ample training to fight zombies in close combat, and they were able to fight with ease when there were not many of them.
Even infected individuals with blood dripping from their necks who haven't yet turned into zombies shouldn't be spared!
Lin Xi's right hand moved swiftly, and together with Lu Wei, they quickly wiped out the zombies in the crowd.
Lin Xi looked at the handcuffs in Shen Hua's hands: "Captain Shen, what Lawyer Lu and I did before was to prevent the zombie outbreak. You should also know that we would not do something like poisoning. The stadium is crowded right now, so it's inconvenient for you to shoot. Let us help fight the zombies. I suspect that there are still infected people among these people who haven't been reported."
Shen Hua: "Even without guns, the task of eliminating zombies at close range should be done by us. Protecting the safety of the public is our duty."
Lu Weijie said, "That's not what she meant. We meant that we can help."
Shen Hua and Lu Wei had a good relationship when they were colleagues, but now she hesitated: "But according to the regulations..."
Yang Yicheng, who had been silent all along, interrupted their conversation: "Let them help. I will keep a close eye on them."
