Chapter 98 Questioning
Chapter 98 Questioning
Around midnight, everyone was already fast asleep.
There wasn't a single light in the entire orphanage. Although it wasn't pitch black, you could only see some blurry figures by the exceptionally bright moonlight.
The door to the room where Yu Yao and the others were located opened silently in the quiet night.
Under the moonlight, a long, drawn-out shadow slanted into the room and slowly moved toward Chen Wanjun.
A few minutes later, the black-clad figure quietly carried Chen Wanjun out of the room and ran quickly in one direction.
......
The basement of the welfare home.
In the dim and gloomy basement, a dozen withered, weak, and unrecognizable zombies gathered in a corner of the hall.
He stared quietly in one direction, without making a sound.
The figure threw Chen Wanjun heavily into the midst of the zombies and coaxed her in a low voice, "Eat, eat quickly, if you eat people you won't get weaker anymore!"
But all that answered him was endless silence.
The figure clenched his fists tightly, turned around, and quickly left the basement.
The moonlight shone on his face, revealing Saihu's youthful appearance.
A short while later, he returned to the room of Yu Yao and the other two.
But when they got to Yu Yao's bedside, they found that there was no one there.
Saihu thought he had picked the wrong bed, so he quickly went to check the other beds.
They discovered that the entire room was completely empty!
He panicked and hurriedly went to check the other two rooms.
It was also completely empty.
He thought to himself, "Oh no!" After a moment's thought, he hurriedly ran towards the basement.
But before he even arrived, he heard terrifying roars coming from the direction of the basement.
His face turned pale, and he quickened his pace and rushed over.
The howls of the zombies nearly alerted everyone at the orphanage.
Chang An, who was still sitting at the table not knowing what to write, suddenly jumped up.
His gaze drifted towards the basement, his eyes filled with terror.
When Saihu rushed to the basement, he saw a dozen people who had come to stay standing in a neat row.
The zombie that was originally quiet in the corner suddenly became extremely agitated and aggressive.
But they were trapped inside a huge metal cage.
"What have you done!" Saihu roared, his face full of anger.
When Yu Yao and the others looked back, Chang An, Zhou Shanhai and the others had also arrived one after another.
Upon seeing this scene, Chang An's vision went black.
"What, what happened!"
Zhou Shanhai also angrily retorted, "What have you done? We kindly offered you shelter for the night, how could you treat us like this!"
Qin Zhao pursed his lips.
"Kindness?"
As he spoke, he pointed to Chen Wanjun, whose body was covered in dirt, whose hair was disheveled, and whose fair face was now covered in grime.
The tone was mocking.
"Is this what you call kindness? Throwing people to feed the zombies?"
Qin Zhao's words startled Chang An.
"how come......"
As she spoke, she began to search around, "Where's Liang Ning? Didn't he get the water back?"
Liang Ning?
Poor Liang Ning is still unconscious in a dark room, completely unaware of what's going on.
As if he had just thought of something, Chang An suddenly looked at Yu Mingce.
"Yu Mingce! It was you! You orchestrated all of this, didn't you!"
Upon hearing Chang An's words, everyone silently turned around!
Yu Mingce, standing at the very back, leaned against the wall with a somber face, seemingly pondering a solution or accepting reality.
“It’s me. Xiaoyun is too weak. She needs to eat.”
Chang An's lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were red-rimmed.
"Xiao Ce, don't be silly, Xiao Yun is already a zombie."
Yu Mingce grinned crookedly.
"You speak with such righteous indignation. You know perfectly well they are zombies, not human, so why do you keep them here and refuse to kill them?"
Chang An clenched his fist. "I can't bear it... but I can't accept exchanging the lives of ordinary people for theirs!"
Yu Mingce's expression suddenly changed.
"What's there to be reluctant about? They're just a group of strangers passing through. Even if they leave us tomorrow, they might still die in some other corner! It's better to let them contribute to Xiaoyun's cause and leave us some supplies!"
As he spoke, he pointed to a female zombie in the iron cage, wearing a tattered red dress and with almost all of her long hair gone.
"And those people in the cages are our colleagues, friends, and the children you care about most. Especially Xiaoyun, she's your own daughter! Can you really just watch them grow weaker day by day, and eventually attack and devour each other?"
Chang An stared intently at Yu Mingce, whose expression was ferocious, his whole body trembling.
With difficulty, he asked, "You used this same rhetoric to lure Saihu, didn't you?"
Upon hearing this, Saihu quickly tried to comfort him.
"No, it's not Xiao Ce's fault, I did it voluntarily."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shanhai was so angry that he slapped him hard on the back.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Do you even know what you're doing?!"
Saihu was slapped, but instead of backing down, he stiffened his neck and became even more stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat.
"Of course I know! They drive such nice cars, they don't need us to provide food, and they even have food to feed their cats! They must have plenty of supplies! Once we feed them to the zombies, we can get their supplies! Then our other younger brothers and sisters won't have to go hungry anymore!"
Xunzi said: At birth, human nature is inherently evil.
It's not because they are inherently evil, but because they simply don't realize that what they are doing is evil!
