Chapter 332: 191 Thoughts (First Update)

Fang Yuxin thought of it, and so had Yu Yang. He too sighed, his mood turning somber. Humanity’s enemies were already numerous: zombies, mutated plants and animals. If humans themselves started turning on each other, then the world would truly become despairing.

Others, noticing their grim expressions, were tempted to ask what was the matter. But seeing that they had reached the crowded square, amid endless chatter, they suppressed their curiosity and decided to discuss it later.

When they arrived, Chen Qiao and others had already secured a good spot. Yu Yang called out to Chen Qiao, and then the family headed to the spot he mentioned.

Despite the crowd, many already knew of their strength and respectfully made way for them.

The family simply thanked them, their demeanor neither servile nor overbearing, not giving off an air of superiority but rather a subtle aloofness, signaling their inapproachability and sparing them from people coming over to chat or curry favor.

Soon, they reached the designated area. Chen Qiao and his group were quite at the forefront. Seeing Fang Yuxin and the rest, their eyes brightened, finding a sense of backbone.

The Fang Family began observing the situation up front. The center of the square was encircled by armed soldiers. Through the gaps, one could see hundreds of people standing, all bound with their hands behind their backs, heads bowed, spirits wilted.

It was these people that were the subject of relentless discussion around, speculating about their identities.

Fang Yuxin didn’t even need to listen deliberately; she already knew what was going on. The situation was almost as she had guessed—these were the people who had taken advantage of the confusion last night to steal and cause trouble.

People continued to arrive, and about half an hour later, the loudspeaker blared again, instructing everyone to sit down.

Because of the crowd, many had their view obstructed, only by sitting down could they see clearly. Although the ground was dirty, these apocalypse-hardened individuals didn’t mind and obediently sat down upon hearing the broadcast.

Fang Yuxin and her family were dressed very cleanly, and sitting down dirtied their clothes. Fortunately, Shang Jinxiu was well prepared; she had brought a small bag containing soft little cushions, perfect to sit on. Distributing the cushions, everyone placed them beneath their bottoms. Stuffed with cotton, the cushions were much more comfortable than the hard marble ground, drawing envious looks from those around them.

Then, Fang Yuxin suddenly heard Bai Qianqian ask in a low voice, "Mama, why hasn’t daddy come?" His chubby face crumpled up, clearly unhappy with the situation.

Fang Yuxin thought for a moment, guessed a possibility, but it wasn’t something she could share with Bai Qianqian, so she made up a reason to brush it off. Bai Qianqian seemed to accept Fang Yuxin’s explanation compliantly, but as he turned his head, his mouth turned down.

He didn’t believe that his dad didn’t want to come at all! There must be another reason! But his little clever mind could never guess that Bai Ye had fallen into the trap set by Shen Xi and Shen Xin, and all the supplies, Crystal Cores, and Elemental Stones had been stolen!

So, they had gotten up particularly early that day and went outside the Safe Zone to hunt zombies.

With so many people inside the Safe Zone, finding Shen Xi and Shen Xin was not an easy task, so they chose to earn Crystal Cores first.

Fortunately, they still had their ID Cards, which contained several credit points to buy supplies. Otherwise, they would have been completely out of resources.

Bai Qianqian couldn’t guess the truth, but Fang Yuxin had her suspicions. However, she hadn’t realized the problem lay with Shen Xi and Shen Xin, simply assuming Bai Ye’s place had been burglarized.

Bai Qianqian sneaked a glance at Fang Yuxin, knowing she wouldn’t tell him even if she knew, so he kept his head down, not asking further, his eyes rolling as he thought about how to find an opportunity to see Bai Ye and ask him what exactly had happened.

Once everyone was seated, the view became much clearer. Then, the armed soldiers parted to each side, their gun barrels aimed at the prisoners. Simultaneously, the three generals of the Safe Zone appeared.

Among these three, General Song was the oldest, followed by General Li and Qiu Hongsheng. The latter two were close in age, with General Li being just two years younger than Hongsheng.
