Chapter 338: 194 Deprivation of Identity (First Update)

A simple sentence, yet spoken with such force that everyone was stunned. Those who were still sitting sighed in relief after a brief surprise, thankful that they had made the right choice and had not acted foolishly.

Those still standing were completely bewildered, never expecting Qiu Hongsheng to utter such cruel words!

He actually wanted to drive them out of the Safe Zone! How could he!

Weren’t these people military personnel? How could they do this?

It wasn’t fair! They would never agree to it!

"Why should we? We’re not leaving the Safe Zone!"

"Exactly! We won’t go out!"

"That’s right! What gives you the right to drive us out?"

"I own property here! I have a house; you can’t force me out! You can’t do this!"

...

The voices of protest were incessant, and although those standing seemed resolute, each of them looked terrified, their eyes filled with insecurity. They were all afraid, afraid that the military might genuinely drive them out.

Some continued to shout, while others quickly sat down, trying to blend in unnoticed.

Generals Song and Li didn’t speak and observed passively, leaving the matter entirely to Qiu Hongsheng to handle. Qiu Hongsheng, however, didn’t argue with these people, and with a gesture, summoned a squad of soldiers, saying, "Alright, now, take these people away!"

All these soldiers were battle-hardened, each one tall and robust, with an aura of menace about them.

Upon receiving the order, they rapidly charged into the crowd and arrested everyone who was still shouting. Those who thought they could get by unnoticed were also pulled out one after another.

Then, Lin Feiyin suddenly spoke.

She had been standing all the while, but so far, no soldier had approached her. This situation gave her some confidence so she said, "Wait! General Qiu, please release them! These people are residents of the Safe Zone, they’ve done nothing wrong. Why treat them this way? With zombies everywhere outside, they aren’t strong enough. If you drive them out, aren’t you just forcing them to die?"

Qiu Hongsheng recognized her immediately, and with a half-smiling, peculiar tone, as he eyed the Doctor’s Medal on Lin Feiyin’s chest, he said, "Oh, it’s Doctor Lin. I just realized how much you care about the residents of the Safe Zone."

Hearing his curious tone, Lin Feiyin suddenly felt uneasy, but seeing the utter terror on the faces of the people around her, she felt it was her responsibility to help them. She thought again. She was a doctor in the Safe Zone, and her superpower was extremely special. With the liquid Fang Yuxin had that could purify the virus bound to run out sooner or later, her superpower would become crucial.

Thus, she was confident they wouldn’t dare touch her.

So, suppressing her unease, she continued, "I am a doctor of the Safe Zone, and they are residents here. It’s natural for a doctor to care about their patients, isn’t it? But General Qiu, as a general, how can you so casually disregard their lives? Are their lives not lives? They’re just dissatisfied with the new rules being too harsh. How can you just drive them out and force them to die because of this?"

Qiu Hongsheng listened as she spoke and finally, smilingly said, "A doctor’s parental heart, huh? Then I’m curious, Doctor Lin, where were you last night when so many injured were waiting for your treatment during the zombie attack on the city?"

He purposely elongated the words "Doctor Lin" with a hint of sarcasm.

And with those words, others couldn’t help but look towards Lin Feiyin.

Initially, when she had bravely articulated her arguments against Qiu Hongsheng, people had admired her courage. However, upon hearing Qiu Hongsheng’s words, their gaze towards Lin Feiyin shifted from respect to blatant scorn.

Lin Feiyin felt the piercing stares around her and suddenly became very nervous. She instinctively wanted to defend herself, but just as she began to speak, Qiu Hongsheng interrupted, "Lin Feiyin, you enjoy various conveniences thanks to your status as a doctor, and the Safe Zone gives you a considerable daily reward. But where were you last night when so many injured personnel, who were injured protecting the Safe Zone, were on the brink of death? If it hadn’t been for another doctor who happened to have the purifying agent for the virus, do you know how many would have died because you fled from your duty?"
