Chapter 42: The Twin Sisters
She was waiting for these old men and women to bravely stand up!
She was willing to protect the weak, but if these weaklings had chosen to submit themselves, what obligation did she have to protect them?
She was a police officer, and it was true that she had been defending the last shred of justice and morality in the apocalypse.
However, she did not want to be a foolish and ridiculous saint!
She was willing to save others, but she could not save those who had given up on themselves!
"These two young ladies can stay!"
Zhou Zhengyu pointed to the two girls and said, "These two young woman are quite nice. Let's keep them as a reward for the brothers!"
Xiao Yi glanced at the two girls. Both were very pure and lovely.
Moreover, Xiao Yi discovered that not only were they good-looking, but they looked exactly alike!
They were a pair of twin sisters!
Let alone Scarface and the others, even Xiao Yi felt a stir of interest.
These were truly top-tier!
The twin sisters trembled and huddled together, lowering their heads without making a sound.
There was no resistance, nor any protest.
"As for the other women, including Officer Si, if you want to continue staying in our shelter, you only have two choices!"
Zhou Zhengyu sneered, holding up one finger and speaking loudly.
"One is to leave here immediately, right now!"
Zhou Zhengyu once again held up a finger, his face full of arrogance.
"The other is to serve my brothers well!"
After speaking, Zhou Zhengyu provocatively glanced at Si Ruoqing, then viciously scanned the crowd and said, "Do any of you have any objections? If you do, you can stand up now! Today is a democratic meeting! Anyone can stand up and share their thoughts!"
Scarface stood to the side, sharpening his machete, tilting his head as he glared viciously at the others. The eight men behind him also sneered and stepped forward, brandishing the weapons in their hands to show off their power.
This was a silent threat!
No one stood up, no one protested. Everyone humbly lowered their heads.
Si Ruoqing looked at everything before her with disappointment. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and finally unable to hold back her anger, she roared in a low voice, "I created this shelter! Most of the supplies inside were brought back by me with your help! On what grounds are you driving me out now?"
"On the basis of the blades in our hands! On the basis that the majority of us agree! Whether it's 'political power grows out of the barrel of a gun' or a democratic vote, we can make you leave! Of course! The brothers greatly admire your character, Officer Si. As long as you're willing to stay, we brothers are willing to 'serve' you well! Hahahaha!" Scarface laughed maniacally.
Si Ruoqing turned to look at the old men and women who had been silent with their heads lowered, and questioned them, "Do you all think I should leave too?"
"Officer Si! You should just leave!" An old man stood up, pointing at Si Ruoqing and said, "None of us welcome you here!"
"That's right! You should leave!" A plump, sharp-tongued middle-aged woman also stood up. "It's because of you, randomly saving people, that our supplies are being used up so quickly! The things in the mall could have lasted us much longer! You should leave! We don't welcome you!"
"That's right! Leave! Get out of here!"
"Get out!"
The other few old men and women also chimed in.
Si Ruoqing's face turned deathly pale. She could not understand how the people she had saved disregarding her own safety, could treat her like this!
Xiao Yi stood to the side, coldly watching the farce before him. He had originally intended to make a move and destroy all these ugly people.
But when he saw the old men and women desperately trying to drive Si Ruoqing away, he instinctively sensed something was amiss.
He wanted to see how this situation would ultimately unfold.
"Fine! I'll leave!" Si Ruoqing was already in utter despair.
"Wait! Officer Si! Don't you like helping people? Then take these few children with you!" A young woman suddenly stood up, grabbing Si Ruoqing and saying, "These children are a burden to us if they stay here! If you don't take them, we'll have to feed them to the zombies!"
Si Ruoqing glanced at the three children huddled together.
One was an innocent little girl of only seven or eight.
Looking at their clear and innocent eyes, Si Ruoqing's heart softened.
"Fine! I'll take the children!" After Si Ruoqing finished speaking, she turned to Xiao Yi and the other team members who were with her and asked, "Are you leaving or not?"
"Hmph! I'd rather die than stay here with these disgusting people!" The somewhat edgy and idealistic young girl, Liu, snorted coldly and quickly followed Si Ruoqing.
The other few female team members also snorted coldly and quickly followed Si Ruoqing, striding towards the entrance.
"Good luck to you all." Xiao Yi sneered, glanced at Scarface and Zhou Zhengyu, and then followed Si Ruoqing, striding away.
