Chapter 21 - : Fear of Public Opinion (Three Updates)
Li Yu glanced at him but still remained silent.
At that moment, the Village Chief heard Liu Weimin speaking up for them.
His heart was filled with joy. He then asked, "Comrade police officer, what's happening in the County? Will the Government come to save us?"
Liu Weimin looked at him with hopeful eyes and sighed.
He said, "The County has fallen, and in our Armed Police squad, only the two of us are left. We can't even find anyone from the Government now, so I guess..."
Upon hearing this, expressions of joy briefly flashed across the faces of some young people in the front.
But soon, they put on sad expressions.
They all sighed deeply.
Uncle whispered to Li Yu who was beside him, "Are we really not going to save them?"
Li Yu heard this and nodded his head.
Uncle seemed like he wanted to say something, but then he thought of Xiaolue and their relatives at the base.
He wanted to say something, but everything vanished in his sighs.
Liu Weimin walked a few steps towards Liu Jianwen and said, "Captain! We should let them in."
Liu Jianwen looked helplessly at Liu Weimin and then looked towards Li Yu.
Seeing the situation, it seemed like Li Yu was the decision-maker of the base.
So, he took a few steps closer and stood in front of Li Yu, saying, "You should let them in. They are the general public; we need to uphold the virtue of saving people. We can't be cold-blooded just because of the current situation!"
Li Yu, seeing Liu Weimin approaching, slightly raised his Submachine Gun.
He said, "No rescue!"
His words were few, as he was too lazy to explain.
Until now, he hadn't decided whether to let Liu Weimin in.
In his principles of life, he always believed:
Different perspectives lead to different conclusions,
You don't need to care too much about others' opinions.
Your empathy is actually a very precious quality.
Li Yu, of course, knew that being kind was right.
But in this world, the kind ones always die fast.
So, for him,
Kindness should be based on his own safety,
If being kind results in injury to himself or his loved ones,
That would be the biggest mistake.
Moreover,
Why should Liu Weimin be kind,
Why should morality coerce me to be kind too?
Li Yu's refusal to save them was very firm, outright denying Liu Weimin.
Seeing this, Liu Weimin angrily said, "How can you be so heartless?!"
"I am."
Behind them, Liu Huamei heard their conversation and also ran over, saying:
"You're heartless?!"
"I am heartless."
"You're not kind!"
"Right."
"Why save us but not them?"
"I didn't plan to save you; I was saving my uncle."
Liu Huamei, enraged, exclaimed,
"You're a bad person!" Her bosom seemed to tremble with her rage.
Li Yu raised his eyebrows, intimidated by her bosom.
He cleared his throat to cover it up
And then said, "I am a bad person!"
Liu Huamei looked at the man in front of her in shock,
In her memory, she had never seen such a shameless person...
He simply accepted that he was a bad person!
Behind Li Yu, Li Hang took out a small notebook from his pocket.
The cover of the notebook read: Bullshit Bible
He flipped to page three and quickly jotted down:
Article 3:
How to attract a beautiful woman's attention?
First, make her angry and confront her!
After recording, Li Hang nodded his head as if everything was clear.
Satisfied, he put the notebook in his pocket, patted it, and confirmed it was secure. He couldn't afford to lose it!
Facing Liu Huamei's questioning,
Li Yu was quite calm. Moral kidnapping, huh?
Ever heard of slacking off?
Ever heard of slacking off in socializing?
Presumably, Liu Huamei hadn't seen it before,
But today, she did.
Extremely angry, but powerless.
Liu Weimin was also very angry on the side.
On the other side, the Village Chief and his group seemed to have lost their patience.
Unable to hold back, they said, "Li Yu, if you don't let us in and we get bitten by zombies, you'll be cursed!"
The Village Chief tore off his disguise and threatened.
Li Yu still appeared indifferent, expressionless.
Liu Weimin stared at Li Yu, furious, about to say something.
Then the people behind the Village Chief started saying:
"Officer, look, they won't let us in!"
"Officer, they even tried to shoot us with crossbows just now!"
"Yes, yes, yes, they just shot me, ah, my leg."
"Yes, the guy next door, Er Gouzi, was killed by them, they won't let us in!"
"The tourist park is ours, they drove us out and fed us to zombies! Then they shot at us with crossbows."
"It seems like they were the ones who caused this zombie outbreak!"
....
Hearing all this, Li Hongyuan and the others' faces darkened. Could slander be thrown around this wildly?
"Li Yu took advantage of me, ate and didn't acknowledge," suddenly, such words came out.
After this, the scene suddenly went quiet.
The one speaking was the Village Chief's wife, Zhou Shuihua!
Her face covered in moles, looking very odd.
No one present would have expected Zhou Shuihua to say such a thing.
Li Yu is 183cm tall, with a handsome appearance.
Would he fancy you?
The Village Chief's face turned livid.
Even Liu Huamei beside him looked at Li Yu skeptically.
Could you please not look at me like that?
Damn it.
Rumors are horrifying to the utmost.
But, is this the time for jokes?
"Bang bang bang..." Li Yu fired towards the right side of the crowd.
Almost hitting a few people.
Li Yu said, "Continue talking."
The crowd backed away, shell-shocked.
Beside them, Liu Weimin's expression turned severe, he slightly raised his almost empty gun, trying to intimidate Li Yu.
Li Yu's eyes sharpened, adjusted the position of his gun; he was sure he could shoot faster than Liu Weimin.
Seeing this, Liu Jianwen hurriedly shouted, "Weimin."
Upstairs, Second Uncle saw Liu Weimin raising his gun,
Instantly raised his crossbow too, aiming at Liu Weimin.
Li Yu's companion, Li Hang, also drew his handgun, while Uncle and some others picked up knives.
Tensions escalated!
But, upon hearing Liu Jianwen's words, Liu Weimin put his gun down.
Depressed, he said, "I'm not shooting, I just wanted to persuade." His words carried a tone of misunderstood grievance.
Then he glared at Li Yu angrily.
Although he didn't believe what the villagers said just now,
It was true that Li Yu did not let them in, that the little girl was pitiful, and that Li Yu had fired his gun.
The atmosphere fell into a strange silence.
Li Yu, holding his gun, nonchalantly walked up to the little girl, his gaze warily watching the movements of those around him.
Gently, he said, "You are Xuanxuan, right? We've met before."
Li Yu had visited Da Zhuang's house several times; this adorable girl was very polite,
This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
She even knew to bring him fruit when he visited their home.
Little Xuanxuan in the center seemed not to hear, staring blankly ahead.
Li Yu crouched down, gently touched her head.
