Resident Evil: Sign in and get super powers

Chapter 323: Magnetic Forging Shocks the Neighborhood Committee

"What Glenn said is not entirely unreasonable. Since we can neither let him go nor take him in, we might as well detain him first and observe his subsequent performance. If he can be cured, that would be great."

Rick finally stood up and came up with what he thought was the most appropriate solution at the moment.

"I think it's feasible."

Carol agreed to Rick's proposal.

"Okay, let's vote. Those who agree to temporarily detain Chu Xuan raise their left hands, and those who oppose raise their right hands."

Rick had made up his mind and announced it to everyone.

“Shuashuashua~~~”

Everyone looked at each other, and then slowly raised one hand.

Although some people spoke up to defend Chu Xuan during the discussion, when it came to voting, facing the fear of the unknown and the human instinct of self-preservation, many people ultimately chose to raise their left hands.

"Alright, since everyone agrees to detain him, then that's settled..."

Rick saw that the voting results were out and was about to announce the final resolution.

"I disagree."

However, at this moment, an angry voice suddenly sounded from behind everyone.

Everyone turned around and saw an old man glaring at them with his beard blowing.

This person was none other than Hershel, who arranged accommodation for Chu Xuan.

After he arranged his accommodation, he immediately went to find Rick, but he was still a step too late. When he heard that Rick had called everyone here for a meeting, he rushed over in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, things really developed in a bad direction. These people actually planned to imprison Chu Xuan. It was really too much, so he shouted loudly to stop them.

"Dad! Why are you here?"

Maggie looked surprised when she saw Hershel.

She knew very well that her father was not concerned about managing the base, but instead focused all his energy on taking care of various animals, so he rarely participated in voting.

I didn't expect him to show up suddenly today.

"If I don't come, will you allow me to imprison such talented people?"

Hershel snorted coldly.

"Herschel, I'm afraid you don't know yet! Chu Xuan's mental state is abnormal, and he is very likely suffering from paranoia. Moreover, you have witnessed his fighting ability with your own eyes. We are acting this way only to ensure everyone's safety."

Rick felt a headache when he saw Hershel coming.

It was because of his insistence that Chu Xuan was allowed in today. He hadn't even argued with him yet, but the other party kept making things difficult for him.

Even though the other party is old, he can't take advantage of his age!

"What kind of paranoia? How come I don't know about it?"

Hershel frowned and asked in confusion.

He really couldn't understand how such a kind person like Chu Xuan could develop such a strange disease, and how he, as a doctor, didn't notice it at all?

"I asked him three questions as usual. Do you know how he answered?

He claimed to have killed tens of thousands of zombies and hundreds of thousands of humans, and said that they were all people who wanted to kill him or study him;

He even taught his children that fighting zombies could awaken superpowers.

If this kind of talk isn't just delusional, what else could it be?"

Rick had no choice but to tell the truth.

Glenn and Maggie, who were standing by, nodded and agreed with Rick's statement.

Judging from the situation, I'm afraid the illness is really serious.

Everyone also looked at Hershel, thinking that this old man was usually kind and must have been unaware of the truth just now. Now that he knew, he would definitely change his mind.

However, to everyone's surprise, the expected scene of Hershel coming to his senses did not occur. Instead, he pointed at Rick's nose and cursed, "This is ridiculous. What kind of mental disorder is this? What kind of delusion is this?"

"Dad, you're confused. He's so crazy that he's teaching kids to awaken superpowers by killing zombies. Is that normal?"

Maggie covered her face with her hands, feeling completely humiliated, and quickly pulled Hershel's clothes to remind him.

Who among them hadn't killed a large number of zombies? If they could truly awaken superpowers, they would have already transcended the mundane world. Why would they be trapped in this prison?

Although the others didn't say anything, they looked at him with strange eyes.

The original look of respect disappeared, replaced by pity.

It seems that this old man is too old and his brain is not very sharp. He even believes that killing zombies can awaken super powers and people are not considered mentally ill.

"Dad~"

Seeing this, Glenn also wanted to speak up and give some advice.

"Shut up, even I don't believe that there is no son-in-law like you."

Hershel snorted.

"Dad, what are you doing? If you have any dissatisfaction with Glenn, let's go back and talk about it. This is the neighborhood committee meeting room."

Seeing that her man was wronged, Maggie quickly protected Glenn and said.

"You also know that this is a neighborhood committee meeting, and I am a member. Don't I have the right to speak?"

Hershel snorted again.

"Uh!"

Maggie was speechless for a moment. Freedom of speech! Even though she was Hershel's daughter, she couldn't force her father to shut up. In the end, she had no choice but to keep silent.

"Okay, then you tell me."

Rick also knew that the old man had a stubborn character. When the farm burned down, he almost turned to ashes along with the farm.

It is impossible to block it, we can only guide it.

He wanted to see what profound truths this old man could come up with.

"See this?"

Hershel unfolded a cloth bag, revealing a row of neatly arranged, brand-new surgical knives that looked as if they had just left the factory.

"Have you found the surgical instruments?"

Maggie was quite surprised to see this.

She knew very well that her father had always longed for a new set of scalpels, but in this doomsday, other knives were easy to find, but knives that could be used for animal surgery were really hard to find.

She didn't expect that he would suddenly take out a new set today, which really surprised her.

"Even if you found a new knife, what does it have to do with Chu Xuan?"

Looking at those scalpels, Rick's face darkened and he was speechless.

This old man is really unreasonable.

"How is it unrelated? This is what Chu Xuan just made for me." Hershel shouted.

"He can actually forge weapons, and it looks like he's using spring steel. To be able to forge such a sharp and delicate scalpel with this steel, he's truly a talent."

Michonne picked up a scalpel, looked at it for a moment, weighed it a few times, and exclaimed in admiration.

"He is indeed a talent, but being able to forge weapons doesn't mean he is mentally sound."

Tyrese nodded first, then shook her head.

Although the others didn't say anything, judging from their expressions, they probably thought the same thing.

"What if I told you that he made this set of knives in just a few seconds, without a hammer, a furnace, or even a forging table?"

Hershel looked around at everyone and spoke slowly.

"What? He forged such a fine and sharp knife in less than a minute, and without any tools?"

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, their eyes wide open, full of astonishment and disbelief.

It's no wonder they reacted like that; what Hershel said was simply too shocking.

It only takes a few tens of seconds to make a set of cutting tools, let alone start up an automated factory. It takes more time than that. This is simply a fantasy.
