Motley Crowd

Little Xuanxuan felt a gentle caress on her head, and a warm hand seemed to wake her up.

Her eyes seemed to focus, and her expression gradually changed.

Then, her eyes filled with tears.

But she bit her lower lip hard to stop her tears from falling.

Zombies erupted. After her family died, she had never been touched like this again.

There were only gazes filled with disdain. Every time, she could only pick up the crumbs left behind by others.

In the end, with the shortage of food, they did not even have to eat crumbs.

It had been a few days since she last ate.

The seven-year-old girl's resistance was not high to begin with. Coupled with the fact that she had not eaten for a few days, standing in the middle for more than an hour made her unsteady.

However, the village secretary behind her told her to stand. She did not dare to sit down or speak.

In the apocalypse, it was already a miracle that a little girl without a family could survive until now.

During this time, she had learned to be strong and sensible. She had learned to be silent and to read people's expressions.

Even though she was despised and almost killed, she still followed the crowd.

That was because she could not survive alone in an environment filled with zombies!

Li Yu had mixed feelings when he saw the tears welling up in Little Xuanxuan's eyes.

He held the submachine gun with one hand and held Little Xuanxuan's small hand with the other.

He walked towards the car and looked at everyone cautiously from the corner of his eye.

He was not the kind of person who would casually give his back to others.

At the side, Little Xuanxuan seemed to have thought of something. She secretly turned around and looked at the village secretary, her large eyes filled with fear.

The village secretary saw Li Yu leading Little Xuanxuan away. Judging from the situation, Li Yu showed no signs of responding to them.

Hence, he glared fiercely at Little Xuanxuan, who was turning around, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Little Xuanxuan shuddered as if she had recalled something bad.

She instantly turned her head back, as if she was a little worried that the hand holding her would let go at any moment.

Hence, she used her other hand to grab the corner of Li Yu's shirt tightly!

Sensing Little Xuanxuan's actions, Li Yu's gaze focused.

An invisible baleful aura erupted and rushed towards the village secretary.

The secretary's fierce gaze met Li Yu's murderous gaze.

His expression changed instantly, and he revealed an awkward smile.

However, there was still anger hidden in the depths of his eyes.

Li Yu said, "Little Xuanxuan, you can enter, but you guys can't."

"Why?" The tattooed young man behind the village secretary said angrily.

Then, he said, "Why can she go in? Why can't we? She's just a child. She's a burden to waste food. We're all young and strong. We can help you guard the base! What can she do?"

Li Yu looked at the young man with a faint smile on his face.

"Why should I care? I'm happy to let her in!"

Liu Huamei's eyes were filled with disappointment when she heard this! Li Yu turned a blind eye to it.

When everyone heard this, they were furious and said that Li Yu was selfish.

Li Yu didn't want to explain and couldn't be bothered to.

When he built the base back then, these people were the ones who mocked him for being stupid.

These people were the ones who were begging him now.

Humans were really unpredictable.

With his experience from his rebirth in the apocalypse, he knew that these people were not good people.

A young lady was so hungry that she was about to faint. They pulled her out to make people take pity on her.

Their faces were flushed. Why?

Moreover, the bags on the backs of the few people in the lead were bulging.

There was no old man in this group, and there was a faint killing intent on the few people in front.

Li Yu knew very well that this was definitely a gaze that only those who had killed a living person would have.

Selfish and ruthless.

Coupled with the fact that they had said that they would not save him, these people's faces were immediately revealed.

They were all slandering Li Yu.

This group of people was no longer honest farmers, but a greedy mob.

If they were allowed to enter, especially the village secretary and the other leaders, they would definitely seize power.

Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

They could save people, but not them.

Li Yu held the little girl's hand and slowly walked to the car.

He pointed at the car and asked the young lady to get in first.

The village secretary at the back was livid as if he was constipated.

The development of the matter had exceeded his expectations. He had gone for wool and come home shorn!

He thought about how Li Yu might pity Little Xuanxuan and save her.

However, he didn't expect Li Yu to risk everyone's criticism and not let them in.

He used the words of most people to force a person to do something.

He had tried this trick many times, but it failed in front of Li Yu.

The secretary pinned his hopes on another policeman, Liu Weimin.

So, he said to Liu Weimin, "Officer, what do you think we should do? Who's going to protect us commoners?"

When Liu Weimin heard this, he was a little annoyed. He had heard everyone's comments just now.

He also knew that some of what these people said must be fake.

However, the strong sense of justice in his heart drove him, so he looked at Li Yu angrily and said, "If they don't help you, I'll help you!"

When Liu Jianwen, who was beside Li Yu, heard this, he immediately became a little anxious.

He said, "Weimin, you… Little Yu didn't say that he wouldn't let you in."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Li Yu in embarrassment.

He said with a lack of confidence, "Little Yu, Weimin has been my partner for many years. You…"

Li Yu was expressionless and did not comment.

Liu Weimin said angrily, "I don't want to go in. I don't want to be as selfish and heartless as him!"

"Also, Captain, we swore an oath when we enlisted. How did you become like this?"

Facing Liu Weimin's righteous words, Liu Jianwen fell silent.

He opened his mouth and said, "Weimin, you… I…"

However, he didn't say anything and just sighed.

Moreover, these people's words were a little too ridiculous. He was also a little unhappy.

Facing such a situation where one side was his family and the other side was righteous, Liu Jianwen was extremely anxious.

Li Yu was unmoved by Liu Weimin's words.

In fact, he admired Liu Weimin. In this apocalypse, he had a sense of justice. A kind character was precious.

Liu Weimin had a sense of justice. It was rare, but he couldn't recognize the reality.

Such people often died the fastest in the apocalypse.

After all, the human heart was unpredictable!

It was not kindness that was wrong. It was the use of kind people. It was this era that was wrong.

He did not think too much about it. He waved his hand and asked his second uncle and father to open the door.

They had already wasted too much time outside the wall.

Because of the gunshot just now, some zombies could be heard approaching from afar.

On the other side, he got Little Hang, Little Lue, Fourth Uncle, Uncle Lai, and the others to guard the door.

Anyone who dared to barge in would be killed.

Li Yu held a submachine gun and stood at the entrance, scrutinizing the people opposite him.

Seeing the door open, everyone was a little surprised.

However, when they saw Li Yu holding a submachine gun, Li Hang and the others pointed their pistols and crossbows at them.

They immediately did not dare to move.

Second Uncle drove the car in while First Uncle Liu Jianwen drove another car.

Before entering, his uncle looked at the Liu father and daughter with a complicated expression and said, "Protect yourself."

Li Yu did not go in for the time being. He asked his second uncle to close the door first before entering through the small door.

Bang! The small door closed as well.

Only then did the people inside the wall heave a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, Li Yu was thinking about another problem. What if he was surrounded by outsiders the next time he went out and came back?

What if there were more people next time?

After some thought, he thought of two ways to set up a pulley basket and return to the wall from the basket.

However, there was also a problem. It required manpower. If he used electric power, it would be troublesome if the circuit malfunctioned. This was also the reason why he did not use electric doors.

Another option would be to set up another door behind the gate, which would be double insurance.

Coincidentally, when the base was built, there were many construction materials left, including steel and red bricks.
