"Alright, alright!"
Zhang Su stepped forward two steps to stand between the three of them, pointed to the distance, and said, "You three go over there to sort things out, we still have serious business to deal with!"
The group of more than a hundred people was thrown into confusion. The dog-blood love triangle was certainly exciting, but no match for the thrills of espionage. Didn’t you see that guy with the crutch already trembling?
Bai Xianglong, Xiaojing, and Gao Dongyang also knew their place. Understanding this wasn’t something to show off, the three, accompanied by a few who enjoyed the spectacle like Liu Yao and Zheng Xinyu, went to another side to handle their private matters.
The remaining people felt somewhat unsatisfied, but quickly turned their attention to the young man with the crutch in the scene.
"Meng Shihao, oh Meng Shihao... looking at you like this, it’s undeniable that you’re an undercover agent, right?"
Yang Xinqi watched the cold sweat trickle down from the young man’s temple, feeling deeply grieved. Without waiting for a reply, he said to himself, "I still remember more than two months ago, from... what a coincidence, wasn’t it from that packaging factory that we found you?
At the time, you were hiding in the workshop director’s office, pleading with us for help from the window, with dozens of zombies in the factory area. Your leg was seriously injured, it’s unexpected that this was all a play acted out by Absolute Justice..."
With a thud, Meng Shihao dropped to his knees, the crutch thrown aside, removing his broken glasses, he cried bitterly, "Brother Yang, I was forced to, my mom is controlled by Ding Wei and her life is in constant danger. If I don’t listen to him, my mom would be killed, I really had no choice."
A middle-aged woman in her fifties with her lame son, such a combination would face rejection at any camp. To survive, Meng Shihao had no choice but to follow Ding Wei’s arrangement.
"Even if what you’re saying is true, you’re such a filial son, huh? Your mom’s life matters, but the lives of the brothers and sisters in the group don’t?"
"You’re such a beast, look at the havoc you’ve wreaked, Absolute Justice killed several of our brothers, how will you compensate? You and your mom should go to hell!"
"It’s all your fault, if it weren’t for you we wouldn’t be in this disaster today, we almost became slaves of Absolute Justice, I want to beat you to death!"
"Don’t act rashly, hey, don’t be impulsive!"
Seeing their excitement, Zhang Su immediately brought people forward to calm the crowd’s emotions, even if Meng Shihao had to die, it wouldn’t be from being beaten to death by a mob...
"You, you are just a bunch of bullies... that Cao Duoliang, Chef Cao, he’s an undercover too, he’s an undercover for the Little Eagle Association, why don’t you catch him and kill him, you pick on me, a disabled person, is this all you’re capable of?"
???
Zhang Su was stunned, looking at the guy kneeling and crying. Is this normal logic?
"Bullshit!"
Liu Yao, watching the spectacle, had the former second-in-command of the Little Eagle Association, Ma Xiyu, retort at the scene: "Old Cao was arranged by us into the Apocalypse Corps, that’s true, but he only passed one piece of information to us, about the resource collection, and there was a damn mistake, afterwards there was no more news, basically he had entirely joined the Apocalypse Corps!
I suspect that Old Cao deliberately messed up the information to prevent conflict between the Little Eagle Association and the Apocalypse Corps. Besides, at the time we never intended to exterminate. Look at the harm you caused to everyone, trying to get everyone killed, and you shamelessly use Old Cao as an excuse, damn you!"
As an undercover, Cao Duoliang was rather incompetent. Liu Yao wasn’t very perceptive, but Ma Xiyu was different. He had sensed the anomaly long ago. Without the Absolute Justice incident, Cao Duoliang might have completely left the Little Eagle Association.
"Yes, Old Cao is straightforward, diligent, and never did anything wrong to us!"
"What the hell are you, just lazing around every day waiting to die, and then you betrayed us, you deserve to die!"
"Beat that bastard to death!"
"Enough!"
Zhang Su’s shout froze the chaotic atmosphere instantly, he looked at Meng Shihao coldly, "You’re really good at stirring up trouble, sowing discord, inciting public anger, trying to create confusion, but let me tell you, you don’t stand a chance!"
The crowd heeded Zhang Su’s words and calmed down, yes, how could they let their emotions be swayed by a beast, it’s not rational, not rational at all.
"I’m not!"
Meng Shihao knelt on the ground, protesting forcefully, "Everyone has the right to work for their survival. This time, it was Director Yang and the Knights’ good luck that they met Celestial Horse Island and could return safely. If I’m right, and all the Knights died out there, we’d lose protection, wait to be eaten by zombies?
I notified Absolute Justice in advance to find the next shelter for everyone, so everyone could survive, what did I do wrong? Tell me, what did I do wrong?"
His argument was illogical and unreasonable, plus secretly flattering Celestial Horse Island, which again provoked anger, but remembering Zhang Su’s words they held their anger and watched him perform.
"There’s no point in cozying up to me, it’s meaningless, the reason we haven’t executed you immediately is because you still have value. Why not share some useful information, and maybe there’s still a slim chance for you.’
Zhang Su naturally could hear the implied meaning in Meng Shihao’s words.
"I left Absolute Justice over two months ago, I don’t know any news. I just want to say that everything I did was for the brothers, hoping everyone could live better. The deviation from reality is beyond my control!"
