Chapter 99 Stubborn
Zhou Shanhai couldn't help but curse angrily.
"You bastard!"
Chang An closed his eyes, looking utterly hopeless.
After calming herself down for a while, she said to Chi Heng, "Sir, this is our fault. Do with us as you see fit."
Zhou Shanhai turned to look at Chang An in horror, his face full of disbelief.
"Dean?"
The base commander was forgotten to be called.
"No, Headmistress!"
"Don't kill me...don't kill me..."
"Wow..."
The other children who followed were also frightened, crying or screaming, and the scene quickly became difficult to control.
Luo Mei pinched her throbbing brow.
"Alright, are you saying we're so bored we'd kill you?"
It's clear that, apart from the paranoid Yu Mingce and the impulsive and easily angered Saihu who can't quite distinguish right from wrong, there's not much else in this base.
Everyone else is fine.
He can at least be considered a good person.
Upon hearing this, the crying subsided considerably.
Only a few of the younger children couldn't stop crying and were still sobbing.
Luo Mei ignored her and said, "But you still need to clean up this room full of zombies, otherwise things will get messy sooner or later."
"No!" Sai Hu shouted, rushing out like a cannonball to attack Luo Mei.
Luo Mei casually dodged to the side, then reached out and twisted and pushed him from behind the neck, sending him directly to Chang An's side.
Chang An quickly grabbed Sai Hu, who was still trying to rush out, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"But they were all very important people to us. And since the apocalypse, they've never hurt anyone; they've just voluntarily gathered in this basement. They haven't made a sound... Can't they...?"
Hearing her cautious plea, Yu Yao said.
"They were quiet before because there was a small crack in one of the bricks in your basement, and a trace of energy that they were very interested in was seeping out from the crack. So they all gathered here. But because the crack was too small, not enough energy was leaked, so it didn't cause them to fight and cause any trouble."
Yu Mingce suddenly looked at Yu Yao.
"What brick? Where is it?"
Yu Yao thought for a moment and took out the bricks she had just collected from her spatial storage.
She wanted to examine it, but she didn't expect that as soon as she removed the bricks, the zombies here became aggressive!
As soon as the brick appeared, the previously frenzied zombies suddenly quieted down, all gathering in the area closest to Yu Yao, staring intently at the brick.
Some even tried to reach out with their claws.
It seems the crack has widened, and more energy is leaking out.
To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, she did not touch the seemingly ordinary red brick.
To avoid a situation like Zhao Han's.
Upon seeing this, Yu Mingce hurriedly stepped forward, attempting to snatch the brick.
"Give it back to us! When this brick was here, Xiaoyun and the others were perfectly fine. Who gave you permission to take our things without our permission!"
Noticing his movement, Yu Yao had a thought and put the brick back into her backpack.
Finding the zombies' frenzied roars too jarring, she simply erected an air wall, evacuating the air from the iron cage and preventing the sound from spreading.
Zombies aren't afraid of suffocation anyway.
Seeing the zombies suddenly growl silently, Yu Mingce became anxious again.
"What have you done! Where are the bricks? Give them back to us."
Yu Yao shook her head slightly. "I can't return it to you. As the cracks in the brick widen, this stone will eventually bring unpredictable consequences. It might attract all the high-level zombies in half the city. Then..."
Before Yu Yao could finish speaking, Sai Hu angrily shouted, "Bullshit! You just want to steal our stones! I don't believe you!"
Another child who had joined Saihu in the robbery shouted, "That's right! We don't believe you! Give us back our stones!"
"Give it back to us!"
"Bad guy, bad guy!"
As more and more children screamed, Chang'an tried to calm them down.
But the angry children refused to listen to her anymore!
Some even went so far as to throw stones, which they had somehow acquired, at Yu Yao and the others.
Seeing this, Chi Heng moved and stood in front of Yu Yao.
He used his back to block the flying stone, making a heavy thud.
Chi Heng didn't move, but turned around and locked his gaze on the child who threw the stone, his eyes icy cold.
The child panicked at the look in that eyes and quickly took a few steps back, not daring to make any further moves.
Yu Yao frowned as she looked at Chi Heng, who was only a fist's distance away from her, and asked:
"Boss, are you okay?"
It's just a brick; you can open it with a flick of your wrist. Why would you need to use your back to block it?
Can't understand!
Chi Heng pretended not to notice Yu Yao's doubts, gently shook his head, and then slowly turned around, firmly shielding Yu Yao behind him.
He said coldly to the children, "Didn't you understand? You can't control this stone; it will only bring you devastating trouble. We'll take the stone away. If you think you can stop us, then try."
Chang An closed his eyes briefly.
"Do you absolutely have to take it with you?"
"Yes."
Chang An patted the head of a little girl who had been following her around.
"it is good."
Yu Yao looked at her, then at the little girl's bewildered and uneasy eyes.
For some reason, I remembered the image of the headmistress when I was in the orphanage in my previous life.
Her gaze paused slightly before she said, "There's one more thing. If you're willing to give it to us, in exchange, I can leave you some supplies."
Chang An's eyes slowly brightened.
"Really?"
"Ah."
Even Zhou Shanhai felt a glimmer of hope.
"Yes, what is it?" Dean Chang asked anxiously.
"The pendant around your neck."
It was an ordinary-looking silver necklace with a small silver lucky bag hanging from the bottom.
Chang An subconsciously raised his hand and touched his necklace.
"why?"
"I like."
Chang An pursed her lips. This was a birthday gift her daughter, Xiao Yun, had once given her.
It was her last thought.
But in the end, she nodded.
"it is good!"
Upon hearing her words, Zhou Shanhai and the others couldn't tell whether they felt relieved or reluctant to see her go.
In short, they are all very complicated.
Only Yu Mingce kept a sour face, staring intently at Yu Yao.
Chang An originally turned around to offer him some advice, but after seeing his eyes, the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end for no reason.
She paused, then turned to look at Chi Heng.
"But...without this stone, what will become of us...?"
She didn't say what it was, but everyone knew she was referring to the zombies.
Luo Mei looked at her reluctant gaze with a complicated expression.
"Do you know that they were already dead the moment they turned into zombies? If it were you, would you want to become like this, neither alive nor dead?"
"But......"
Chang An hesitated.
Yu Mingce clenched his fists and said resolutely, "I don't care! I just want my Xiaoyun to be able to stand in front of me with hands and feet! Revive Xiaoyun, or you will not be able to take Shitou."
As he spoke, flames suddenly erupted from his body, carrying an aura of relentless determination.
