Hearing Huang Quanjiu’s voice, the sergeant snapped out of the sa daze the soldiers were in, straightened himself up, his face turning a slight shade of red.
"Report, General Shang, the perpetrator has been caught, it’s them!" the sergeant pointed at Wang Dabiao and his group, and Huang Quanjiu’s gaze followed suit, his eyes emitting a dense aura of murderous intent!
Feeling the weight of his gaze, it was as if they had been plunged into a pit of ice.
"Is it you guys?"
They wanted to respond, but under Huang Quanjiu’s stare, they hemd and hawed, struggling to utter a single sentence as the killing intent was overwhelmingly strong.
This was General Shang!
To be honest, this was the first ti they had seen a general of this caliber, looking at them, eye to eye, from such a close distance!
Their thoughts were in disarray, unable to stabilize, and they could not formulate proper words in their minds to answer Huang Quanjiu’s question.
After a while, Wang Dabiao was the first to regain composure, his voice trembling as he recounted the events, including the fact that all they had done today was for Ding Fulong, with Xiao Hu adding in so details that Wang Dabiao had omitted due to his anxiousness.
"That’s quite loyal," Gong Xiao comnted with a smile after they finished their story. However, Hatred spoke expressionlessly, "No matter what, Old Huang is the one who’s lost out. Let him deal with it. Even killing them here would be fine."
Hatred, true to his na, always seed to carry a vague air of resentnt, as if everything around him bore an unresolved grudge against him.
The first impression he gave was of soone completely devoid of emotions.
And it was exactly such individuals who were the most difficult to deal with.
After Hatred spoke, Huang Quanjiu stepped forward, his eyes filled with a fierce killing intent, and the surrounding soldiers, seeing his gaze, understood that today, the dozen or so unfortunate souls here were dood.
And for Wang Dabiao and his associates, there was no escape! They considered resistance, but they were facing a General Shang, a Level 6 New Human, while they were rely a group of Level 3 New Humans. It was like ants trying to topple a giant!
Their resistance? No matter how intense, it would only make the outco worse!
"Bind them up for ," Huang Quanjiu’s cold voice echoed again.
Wang Dabiao and his group had already closed their eyes, having abandoned all hope for life.
But just then, as though the heavens were rciful, Gong Xiao’s voice rang out.
"Let it be. Such people are rare before the Apocalypse, willing to do these things for soone who has already passed away. Spare their lives."
"What?" The surrounding soldiers were stunned on hearing this, but the first to react, and the most surprised, were Wang Dabiao and his group. They doubted their own ears, but after double-checking, they finally confird they had not misheard—General Shang of the Sixth Army Corps truly intended to spare their lives!
At that mont, in their eyes, Gong Xiao’s figure was like a celestial being descending from the heavens, irrationally beautiful!
What a good person!
No one could comprehend the joyful surprise inside Wang Dabiao at that mont—it was as though a huge cake fell from the sky, landing on a beggar who had been starving for seven days and nights!
Gong Xiao looked serious, with a touch of naivety, but in her eyes, she seed to believe what she said was right.
Her words made Huang Quanjiu and Hatred glance at her, but quickly, Hatred turned his head away, his face unchanging, while Huang Quanjiu’s brow furrowed. He felt that Gong Xiao had done this deliberately.
But he couldn’t say anything about it. Although Gong Xiao was also a general like him, in the Peace Party, she was the only one among the eight generals who could jest with the three chairpersons.
If the relationship between the other seven generals and the three chairpersons of the Peace Party was one of subordination, Gong Xiao’s was one of friendship. Even without such good relations, given Gong Xiao’s beauty, she could easily have beco the wife of one of the chairpersons.
Thus, it was not a wise decision to oppose a woman like Gong Xiao.
Moreover, they had to be aware that she was a woman, perhaps moved by pity for Wang Dabiao and his companions, that maternal instinct had compelled her to give them a chance to live.
Hatred wasn’t moved, but Huang Quanjiu felt as though he had swallowed a mouthful of feces, unable to spit it out and forced to choke it down.
His complexion beca distorted, clearly angered inwardly but daring not to vent it out.
He felt Gong Xiao was targeting him, but why do this to him? His Second Army Corps had lost so many people, to just let them go?
But he had no idea that Gong Xiao wasn’t intentionally upsetting him; it was all because Tang Ye had said sothing to her.
"If you want to be human, learn to understand human emotions; don’t always be like a zombie."
Following these words, Gong Xiao began to extensively collect anecdotes about human emotions, though all these stories were written before the Apocalypse. Human emotions are too nurous, and even the Baidu Encyclopedia before the Apocalypse only showcased positive ones like tolerance and love.
This led Gong Xiao to believe that human emotions were thus beautiful and giving forgiveness was paramount!
So, this scene unfolded, and for Wang Dabiao and his companions, who acted solely to avenge their brother—wasn’t that worth so rcy?
Huang Quanjiu’s face twisted for a while before he said nothing more, gesturing dismissively to the sergeant, his face showing an indifferent expression, "Fine, let’s do as she says; spare them. But although their capital punishnt is abolished, they cannot escape their deserved penalties. Tomorrow you will report to Building 18."
"Thank... thank you! Thank you!"
"Thank you!"
Hearing this, Wang Dabiao and his group were overco with joyful tears, their hearts endlessly repeating a few words. So lucky! Truly so lucky!
Knowing they would live on, they continuously thanked the three generals, so even went as far as to kowtow to Gong Xiao; from their behavior, one might think they were willing to lick her toes.
However, had it really co to that, not only would it not be a loss, but a great gain!
Because the feeling of escaping a great disaster was too wonderful, making them realize even more profoundly how good it was to be alive!
"Alright, go on, hurry back to your dormitory. You’re reporting to Building 18 tomorrow. I cannot guarantee your safety for these non-capital offenses."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Gong Xiao was the first to return to her vehicle, and Hatred followed shortly after, but Huang Quanjiu did not board.
"What’s wrong?"
