“Don’t you forget who it was that sacrificed themselves to save the lives of all you people.”
“You should also not forget who it was that stalled time for you people to flee out of the city!”
“It was City Lord and Madam who fought the zombies bravely to the death with 2000 defenders, which was how you people could successfully escape from the city and be saved.”
“Right now, you’re actually planning to requite kindness with enmity and push the only orphan of the City Lord’s Estate to his death?”
His sonorous and rousing speech caused the surrounding people to look at each other in dismay as shame surfaced in their hearts.
However…
“The miss already said that the youngest young sir, he, he will mutate in 16 hours?”
“Don’t just believe what other people say!” Liu Yuan roared, “If we just look on unfeelingly as someone else kills the youngest young sir today, then are we still human?”
However, Qiao Mu tilted her head as she turned to look at that second manager coldly. “You don’t care even if he bites you later on and you get infected?”
Liu Yuan clutched the boy’s shoulders tightly as he gulped, “I-I don’t care.”
Qiao Mu traced this person’s face with her gaze before moving on to examine his entire body. “You, seem a bit weird.”
“Wh-What weird.”
“You have other intentions toward him.” Qiao Mu stared coldly at that manager.
Second Manager Liu Yuan shivered, his knees practically caving in from her intimidating gaze.
Qiao Mu swept a glance at him but did not say anything else. She put away her crow repeating crossbow and tugged at Mo Lian’s hand. “Let’s go.”
“Ah, this miss. May we ask, wh-what about us?”
“Weren’t you guys heading toward Rice City Fortification?” Qiao Mu cast a faint glance at them. “Continue on.”
Several complaints could promptly be heard from the crowd. “Didn’t you come to rescue us?”
“Why aren’t you arranging for us to enter Rice City Fortification?”
“That’s right, that’s right. If we go to Rice City Fortification, we definitely won’t be able to step through their gates. We would need to wait for a long time while going through inspection. Won’t that mean that we would have to weather the winds and suffer from hunger outside the city for a good several days.”
Mo Lian swept them a sardonic glance. “Is that not the normal procedure. Just do as you are told. It will not take up much of your time.”
“Shouldn’t you be rejoicing right now that you were able to escape,” Liang Qingqing mocked as she crossed her arms and looked at the griping adult men. “You’re all full-grown men, yet you’re whining like sissies. You should be using that energy to kill a few more zombies. Don’t fantasize all day about receiving other people’s selfless help.”
You’re making it sound like the entire world is your mother, but it’s not like we owe you anything.
So laughable!
They were all taking grave risks by hastening here to Jiaozhong Base, but their compensation wasn’t guaranteed to be all that much either.
“We’re leaving.” Everyone followed Qiao Mu and Mo Lian forward.
For some reason, the boy in Liu Yuan’s arms had been boring a hateful stare at Qiao Mu.
It happened just as Qiao Mu walked past them.
That boy jumped up and pounced at Qiao Mu like a mad tiger cub, widening his mouth to chomp down on her arm.
“You’re courting death.” Mo Lian jolted in fright, not expecting this child to have such a vengeful mindset.
