Chapter 508: It’s Not A Duty

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

‘Because you were not a zombie at that time! What if you forgot to take drugs and went crazy!’

After learning that Lin Qiao was a zombie now, they were a little scared.

Lin Qiao rolled her eyes and said to them, “I’m telling you, I can read people’s minds now. Don’t say back things about me in your heads, because I’ll hear them. Also, me forgetting to take drugs and going crazy isn’t impossible, is it? Even healthy people can go crazy sometimes, not to mention the fact that I’m a zombie.”

She rested her chin on her palm and thought for a moment, then continued, “Maybe someday I’ll really go crazy. Most of the crazy women were driven crazy by failed relationships, so I guess I should stay away from men. Fortunately, I don’t love Yang Jianhua, or I might really lose my mind!”

Duan Juan and the others glanced at each other, feeling that her words did make sense.

Thankfully, Lin Qiao didn’t fall in love with Yang Jianhua. Otherwise, she would hate him so much that she could even drive herself crazy. Which woman wouldn’t go crazy if the man she loved lied to her, betrayed her, and destroyed everything that she founded single-handedly, killing so many people she cared about?

Three hours passed soon. Lin Qiao put on the sunglasses and went downstairs along with the others. When they walked out of the building, they found that some people had already left the square.

Less than three-thousand people were willing to leave with them, including commoners and superpowered ones.

Duan Juan stood on the stage and looked at the ones on the square, then glanced at the ones who had walked far away and decided to stay. She said loudly, “Have you made your decision? Good, don’t regret it! I’ve already given you two chances.”

After that, she waved a hand toward Li Hongsheng and Ding Datong, then took a few steps backward.

The two made a few steps forward, and one of them said to the people on the square loudly, “Now, let’s walk out of the base. Some people will pick us up outside the gate. The ones who can walk, lend a hand to the ones who can’t.”

“People? What people?”

“Why are there people outside?”

“Why didn’t we know about it? If there’re people who came to pick us up, we’ll go as well!”

“Yeah! You didn’t even tell us that there’ll be people picking us up! You’re so selfish!”

What Li Hongsheng said made the ones who decided to leave delighted, and the ones who decided to stay angry.

“Why would we tell you? Listen, it’s not our duty to take you with us! We were trying to help you, on one condition. The condition was your courage! From last night to this morning, we have given you two chances to choose to come with us. You are afraid of death, of the long journey, and of all kinds of dangers. Don’t they have the same concerns? They didn’t know that there’ll be people come to pick us up either, did they?”

Li Hongsheng said loudly, pointing at the ones who decided to leave.

“We only gave the chance to the ones who can seize it. If you are unhappy about this, blame yourself for not grasping the opportunity. Besides, we’re going to leave all the supplies in the base to you. We’ve done what we should.”

All those people fell into silence. Li Hongsheng was right; he and his people had no responsibility to protect them. People respected the strong ones, and the opportunities were for the ones who dared to venture. Those were the natural laws of this world.

At that moment, Lin Qiao abruptly walked out. She waved a hand and signaled for Li Hongsheng and Ding Datong to stand behind her, then held her hands behind her body and calmly looked at the people under the stage.

About twenty seconds later, she said with a loud voice, “I’m the one who required your courage. What? Any disagreement? You don’t even have guts to leave this base, so what made you think that you deserve better treatment in this post-apocalyptic world? I’ve already offered you two chances. What else do you want?”

Seeing that lots of people down there were still not convinced, she continued, “Alright, I’ll give you one more chance. The ones who got through the zombie crowd outside the fence wall alone, I’ll take them with me. Listen carefully, this is your last chance!”

Lin Qiao asked Duan Juan and the others not to tell the people in the base about the truth for a reason.

Those people were willing to stay in that broken base because they were afraid of all kinds of dangers outside the wall. If she forced them to leave or lured them to leave with the goodness of the new base, they wouldn’t be grateful. Instead, they would think that Duan Juan and her people had the responsibility to protect and help them.

They hadn’t realized that even if Duan Juan and her people had the abilities to protect them, they didn’t have the duty to protect every coward.

Duan Juan and her people wanted to take them to the new base because they were nice and kind. However, those people saw that as their obligation, as something that they should do. Clearly, those people were selfish and ungrateful. Letting them follow her would bring Lin Qiao no good result.

Therefore, she decided to change those people’s way of thinking before taking them to the new base.

“In this world, no one has the duty to protect others. So, if you want to survive, you’re gonna have to seize the opportunities,” she said blandly, and her words threw everyone into silence.

Next, she looked at those people in the middle of the square, who were determined to leave, saying, “Let’s go!”

After that, she leaped off the stage and headed to the base gate. Duan Juan and the others leaped down as well, following her outside.

When they nearly arrived at the gate, the people in the square started moving that way. The healthy ones helped the ones who had difficulties in moving. That large group of people moved very slowly. When they finally came out of the base, they saw a huge zombie wall. So, they couldn’t help but stop around the gate.

How were they supposed to go through the zombie crowd!

“Keep moving!” In the front, Lin Qiao didn’t stop walking but gave a loud shout. Behind her, Duan Juan and the others stayed silent, following her toward the zombie crowd.

“Can we… Can we go through just like this?” holding his sister, Ding Datong asked.

He knew that Lin Qiao was a zombie, and that she was definitely able to control them. However, thinking that he was going to get close to those disgusting and scary-looking zombies without any defense, he couldn’t help but feel a little scared.

“What are afraid of? You see, even your little sister isn’t afraid,” Duan Juan turned back and looked at him disdainfully while pointing at Ding Ruolan.

Ding Ruolan looked at the others confusedly. She was afraid of zombies too, but she sincerely believed that as long as she was with her brother and his friends, she would be fine. Typical blind dependence!

Ding Datong glanced at Ding Ruolan and stayed silent. He was never worried about himself.
