In the apocalypse, survivors dared not ask for too much; they only had one goal— to stay alive! Zhou Yan's words completely stunned them; previously, they had been too scared and had been hiding in their houses, never considering how their actions were hurting those superpower users who were desperately fighting against the zombies!
They hadn't thought about whether their behavior might dishearten the superpower users, or if it would make them leave the Safe Zone and abandon them completely!
However, people have an instinct for self-preservation, so after feeling guilty, they felt even more resentment towards the short man. They thought their own actions were not completely unjustifiable. After all, they were weak and would have only been a hindrance if they went out!
By choosing to stay at home, they believed they were actually helping the superpower users by not dividing their attention to protect them! What was wrong with that?
