Chapter 215: 132 Turning the Tide (Second Update)_2

The young man spoke grandly of justice, but in reality, he couldn’t withstand a single blow. He fell to the ground and spat out blood, looking at Fang Yuxin as if she were a supervillain.

Even the people around them hadn’t expected Fang Yuxin to suddenly make a move, let alone that she would be so formidable! Initially, they did harbor private intentions, but as soon as they heard that awakening required first being infected with the Zombie Virus, they started having second thoughts.

Of course, they didn’t fully believe Fang Yuxin’s words. People subconsciously always hold a sliver of hope, and these people were no exception. They were skeptical about Fang Yuxin’s claim that infection with the Zombie Virus was necessary, thinking it was a lie.

However, once Fang Yuxin made her move, those who initially wanted to confront her immediately lost their courage. They all realized that Fang Yuxin was formidable and not someone to be trifled with, so nobody dared to come forward.

Fang Yuxin was all too aware of the thoughts of these people—greedy yet bullying the weak and fearing the strong, hoping others would take the lead while they reaped the benefits.

However, her aim today was merely to strike the mountain to shock the tiger and to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys; she had no intention of making enemies of all Ordinary People. Once she saw that these people were somewhat wary of her, she spoke up again with a loud voice, "I think you all know by now that I am a Wood Element Superpower User, and Wood Element Superpower Users possess healing abilities. If any of you are injured, you can come to me for treatment. As long as you can afford the consultation fee, I’m easy to talk to."

No one wanted to offend a Doctor, especially under the harsh conditions of the apocalypse. Because the Zombie Virus had altered human bodies, many medications had become less effective. At this time, if someone was injured, they either endured it or sought help from a Wood Element Superpower User.

Among those who were spectating, some were Ordinary People, and some were superpower users. Although these superpower users had heard that Fang Yuxin could make Ordinary People awaken, they were reluctant to believe it. The fewer superpower users there were, the more advantageous it was for them. If most people became superpower users, their advantage would not be so apparent.

So, as soon as they heard Fang Yuxin denying her own ability, they subconsciously believed her. When Fang Yuxin stated that she was willing to heal injuries for a fee, these superpower users instantly decided to get on good terms with her.

In such an apocalypse, befriending a Doctor was definitely more beneficial than harmful.

Thus, a superpower user loudly said, "Miss Fang, I’ve also heard that rumor, but I knew it was false as soon as I heard it. I can’t believe that so many people believed it, even to the point of causing trouble at the Fang Family. It’s really foolish! Now, who doesn’t know that aside from a few lucky ones who awakened at the very beginning of the disaster, those who awakened later were all those who were lucky enough to survive the Zombie Virus? Even if the two people Miss Fang treated happened to awaken their superpowers, that can’t be attributed to Miss Fang, right? It’s unbelievable that people believe such baseless claims!"

As soon as he spoke up, someone immediately agreed with him, "Exactly! It’s obvious that someone with ulterior motives is deliberately spreading false rumors, trying to harm Miss Fang. If we believe them, we’ll fall right into the hands of the schemer behind this!"

They didn’t care whether it was true that someone was trying to frame her; saying this was merely an attempt to please Fang Yuxin. Moreover, Fang Yuxin not having such a unique ability was a good thing for these superpower users! However, the rumor was indeed strange, and some astute people felt that there was something fishy about it, so despite many people desiring to awaken superpowers, no one bothered Fang Yuxin and chose instead to wait and see.

It was only Lin Feiyin who, foolishly swayed by Fang Mengyao’s incitement, gathered a group of Ordinary People and went to trouble Fang Yuxin. She didn’t realize that while she was doing so, many eyes were watching the drama unfold and waiting for the outcome!

She was like the pioneer stone tossed to test the road, sadly sold out by others, still counting money for those who deceived her, believing her actions were right.

Once these superpower users echoed the sentiment, those Ordinary People who were still undecided felt even worse inside. These superpower user’s statements clearly seemed to be calling them foolish, otherwise, why would they believe such a rumor?

Although some still felt they were talking nonsense, suspecting Fang Yuxin had that mysterious ability, even more, began to harbor doubts, feeling indeed that something was amiss.

People like Lin Feiyin and the young man were rare exceptions; although most people had their selfish motives, they were not foolish. They suddenly realized–even if Fang Yuxin really had such an ability, if they wanted to awaken a superpower, wouldn’t they still depend on her? If she didn’t have such an ability, pressing her would be useless.

With this thought, they suddenly realized that offending Fang Yuxin was really not in their best interest!

Thus, whether they were doubtful or firmly believed that Fang Yuxin possessed a special ability, everyone changed their attitude, chiming in with the earlier superpower users to confirm that surely someone was behind a smear campaign, aiming to harm Fang Yuxin.

The injured young man, on the other hand, received no sympathy. Most people even looked at him as if he were silly.

Disappointed and angry, he watched everything unfold, only to have his blood rush to his head and, unable to hold back, he spat out another mouthful of blood, which made him look truly pitiful.

Among the onlookers, it wasn’t that no one sympathized with him, but no one stood up to accuse Fang Yuxin of wrongdoing. Instead, facing the young man’s disappointed and angry gaze, they guiltily shifted their eyes away.

Watching this scene, Fang Yuxin slowly smiled. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it, including monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
