Chapter 62: These People All Deserve to Die
Wang Yang’s words silenced everyone present. They all lowered their heads and ate the food in their bowls, as if they had heard what Wang Yang said, and as if they hadn’t.
And the few people who had been splashed with water stood there for a moment, not knowing what to say.
This rumor was already ridiculous. With just a little thought, it was extremely ridiculous. But why did it become more and more intense later on?
Wang Yang didn’t even have to think. Some of these people had come from good families, some from average families, and some from poor families. But the arrival of the apocalypse had mixed all these people together, forcing people of different statuses to squeeze together. It was inevitable that some blood would be shed.
But because of a place like Starshine City, they were regulated and knew that they would receive equal punishment. So these people of different statuses were once again tamed. As long as the people around them were the same as themselves, it would be peaceful. There was no need to fight to the death, because it was a losing business.
But the arrival of Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng had made some people feel unbalanced. In addition, someone was fanning the flames. So, no matter what the rumor was, they had to spread it. What if the fake became real? This way, they could also let the people above see their attitude, so as to threaten the management not to give special treatment.
But the fact that Zhang Can’er was an ability user was something they hadn’t expected. It was a matter of course for ability users to be treated favorably, because their abilities were higher than ordinary people. This was a fact.
Afterward, with Wang Yang as the fuse, Zhang Tu used thunderous means to arrest all the rumor-mongers and carry out public punishment.
A total of one hundred and twenty-one people were punished. According to Zhang Tu, the mastermind at the beginning was actually Hu Xiaobing, but he was later snatched away by Yuan Jin. But because of insufficient evidence, they failed to catch Yuan Jin, so they could only identify Hu Xiaobing as the mastermind.
One hundred and twenty-one people were publicly punished. This news spread throughout the three districts of the farm.
The location was at the center of the entire farm, and the time was twelve o’clock on June 20th.
As the victims of the whole incident, Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng of course had to attend.
On that day, a stage had already been set up in the center of the farm, and many people had gathered below. The news had spread quickly, so these people basically knew the whole story.
“Are these people’s brains kicked by a donkey? Or caught in a door? If those two women were being kept by a man, why would they still come to farm?”
“Exactly. Are they all a bunch of pig brains? If they were being kept, they would have been eating and drinking well long ago. Would they let you see them?”
“Alas, if you ask me, it’s just jealousy at work. But with a little thought, you would know that for these two to be so special, their background must not be small. Are the people in District Three really all fools?”
“What are you talking about? What does what they did have to do with us?” a man said angrily.
“Yo, from District Three? As expected, you’re a fool. You still dare to crawl out and shout now. You should see how many people here dare to admit that they’re from District Three. They all wish they could cut ties with District Three.”
The man looked around and saw a few familiar faces. Just as he was about to call them over for help, those few people, seeing him look over, all shouted.
“This person is from District Three. Everyone, quick, drive him out!”
“Yes! Drive him out.”
As more and more people heard, that man was carried out. He was so angry that he was about to leave, but his mouth was covered, and he was taken to a dark room. There were many men and women in there, at least a dozen people.
This man was actually the one who had been standing to Hu Xiaobing’s right that night, the one who had gotten hard.
The man looked at the unfamiliar faces and swallowed nervously. “What… what do you want!”
“Heh, just following orders. You’re really lucky. I don’t know what deal you made with Yuan Jin for him to save you,” a woman said with a wicked smile.
As the woman spoke, the men in the room all went out. Before long, the sound of a man’s heavy breathing came from inside.
And the men outside, after waiting for the women to come out, looked at the woman who had just spoken.
The woman curled her lips into a smile. “Go in. That drug is too strong. Plus, after watching the video, he needs you now.”
Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng were completely unaware of this matter. The two of them were standing on the stage, looking at the rows of kneeling people. They were all kneeling facing the two of them, which made Zhang Can’er a little uncomfortable.
And this request was made by Xiao Feng. The group of four had understood the matter. They were very powerful now, all at the level of army commanders. The speed of their promotion was so fast that it made people both respectful and hateful.
“Sister Can’er, we’ll handle this matter beautifully for you. Don’t worry,” Xiao Feng said, patting her chest.
Zhang Can’er was a little helpless. “Xiao Feng…”
“Oh, Sister Can’er, don’t overthink it. These people all deserve to die. They’re not worthy of pity,” Xiao Hou said with a frown. There was a bit more ruthlessness on his face, and some of the childishness had faded, making him look a bit more mature.
“Is it really okay for you to abuse your power like this?” Zhang Can’er was not worried about the people below. She was just worried that Xiao Feng and the others would be caught by someone with ulterior motives, which would be disadvantageous to them.
“Don’t worry. Captain Shen has already given us full responsibility for this matter. Even if we use our private power, no one will dare to say anything,” Xiao An said in a gentle voice.
At this moment, a woman suddenly walked onto the stage, walked to Xiao An’s side, and whispered something.
And this woman was the woman in the dark room just now.
Xiao An nodded, then waved her hand, and the woman withdrew.
Looking at her walking posture, one could tell that she was from the military camp.
Zhang Can’er was a little puzzled. “Did you do something else?”
Xiao An smiled gently and pulled Zhang Can’er to sit down in a chair. “We just took care of a fish that slipped through the net. Sister Can’er doesn’t need to worry.”
Zhang Can’er looked at Xiao An’s gentle face. She found that she could no longer see through Xiao An. This child seemed to have learned how to disguise herself. How long had it been? The change in these four people was so great. One could imagine how dangerous that military camp was, forcing these few kids to grow up quickly.
Xiao Li walked over with a rabbit in her arms and smiled. “Sister Can’er, just leave this matter to us. You just need to watch the show. Don’t worry, we won’t let go of anyone who has harmed you.”
Toward the end, Xiao Li’s voice was tinged with coldness. When her eyes looked at the people below, they were even colder.
Xiao Feng had always had a smiling expression. If Xiao An was a knife hidden in gentleness, then Xiao Feng was a knife hidden in a smile.
In her smiling eyes, there was not a trace of a smile. What shot out from them were all ice shards, piercing people with pain.
Zhang Can’er looked at the changes in these few people, a little gratified, but more so, her heart ached. If it weren’t for the apocalypse, they might have been able to live a peaceful and happy life, without having to grow up in such a wolf-like environment.
“Alright, time’s up,” Xiao Feng’s expression suddenly became serious.
The others all turned around and faced the rumor-mongers. Xiao An pulled Zhang Can’er, and Zhang Can’er pulled Wan Feng. They walked together to the highest stage.
