Chapter 294
"Who says it’s aningless?"
Zhang Piaopiao stepped forward.
"If we exterminate all the zombies, the world’s dominance will return to humanity.
Sacrificing a small number of people now will ensure a safer living environnt for all remaining humans in the future.
Isn’t that aningful?"
"But why do we have to kill all the zombies?"
The man scoffed and imdiately retorted.
"Can’t we just find a safe place and live peacefully?
We can coexist with the zombies, each minding our own business.
But now, we’re taking enormous risks, expending vast resources, and braving blizzards to travel to the most dangerous places to kill zombies.
Isn’t that putting the cart before the horse?"
"Do you think there’s still a safe place anywhere?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, a young voice chid in.
Everyone turned to look, and so automatically made way.
As the crowd parted, a small figure stood calmly, gazing intently at the man who had been passionately speaking in the center.
The man was taken aback. He had joined the group later and didn’t know Yun Xiaoxiao.
Seeing his argunt refuted by a child, he frowned.
Although he had witnessed Tang Yanchi’s prowess, not every child was that extraordinary.
He assud Yun Xiaoxiao was just soone’s kid.
He couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
A child, daring to challenge him.
At that age, could she even count to five?
Really, what kind of environnt is this, bringing a child along?
Are they not burdened enough, or do they want to die faster?
To what he was thinking, Yun Xiaoxiao just wanted to laugh.
Another fool judging by appearances.
"You haven’t answered my question yet."
Seeing that he hadn’t responded, Yun Xiaoxiao pressed directly.
Though the man was reluctant to answer, under the gaze of so many people and with sothing he wanted to express, he spoke his mind.
"You just asked if there’s a safe place. Now I’ll tell you.
There are plenty of safe places. We can hide in a mountain—zombies aren’t likely to follow us deep into the wilderness.
Or we could head east to the sea and find an uninhabited island, staying far away from the zombies."
"How would we get there? Would there be dangers along the way? Would people die if we encountered them?"
Yun Xiaoxiao fired off questions one after another.
The man raised an eyebrow. "Yes, I admit, getting to these places would involve a long journey.
But we could also find helicopters to fly there.
Taking a helicopter would minimize the dangers.
Even if we had to search for helicopters first, the risks wouldn’t be as great as attacking a city."
"Alright, let’s assu everyone makes it to the mountains or the island. How would they survive?"
Yun Xiaoxiao stared at him, her eyes sharp and imposing.
"Would they farm or fish?
Let’s not even discuss whether the mountains are suitable for farming. Just look at this freezing blizzard—it’s not going to stop anyti soon.
That ans, for a long ti to co, the entire world might remain frozen.
The plains are already unbearably cold, let alone the depths of the mountains.
The temperature there would be unimaginable.
Even if people brought supplies with them, how long would those last?
Once the supplies run out, what would they eat?
In the snow-covered mountains, even digging for tree bark might be extrely difficult.
In other words, hiding in the mountains would likely lead to freezing or starving to death.
And let’s not forget, earthquakes are quite possible in the mountains.
When disaster strikes, no matter how skilled you are, survival would be a miracle.
Now, let’s talk about the island.
Would you dare to eat the fish in the sea now?
Who knows if one of them is infected with the zombie virus but hasn’t turned yet.
Eating a fish with the zombie virus—do I even need to explain the consequences?
Fine, you might say, we’ll just avoid fish and farm instead.
An island isn’t the mountains; surely farming would be possible.
Alright, let’s say that’s true. Farming is possible.
But everyone rembers that massive rainstorm, right?
Even though we can’t check the news now, we can imagine how many islands were subrged.
Fine, let’s say you find an island that’s still intact.
But with the bizarre weather patterns lately, who can guarantee there won’t be a massive tsunami or sothing in the future?"
Many people found Yun Xiaoxiao’s words convincing.
But the man remained unimpressed, even finding them laughable.
"Little girl, everything you’re saying is hypothetical. No one knows when the blizzard will stop—it might end in a couple of months.
Earthquakes and tsunamis are just your imagination; they might not actually happen."
Seeing how stubborn he was, Yun Xiaoxiao calmly looked at him.
"Alright, let’s say the heavens are on your side, and none of these disasters occur."
Of course, Yun Xiaoxiao knew that was impossible.
Disasters would co one after another, striking different places, never giving humanity much ti to recover.
Hearing Yun Xiaoxiao’s sarcastic yet polite retort, Nie Yizhou couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
Haha, the kid’s still the sa.
Her words are just so... refined.
Yun Xiaoxiao tapped Little Cutie, who was perched on her shoulder.
"Little Cutie, show them your might."
Hearing her na, Little Cutie imdiately perked up.
She obediently crawled down from Yun Xiaoxiao’s shoulder and landed on the ground.
Not only the man but also many others who hadn’t seen Little Cutie before were stunned.
They had thought it was just a decorative piece on Yun Xiaoxiao’s shoulder, but... it was alive!
What happened next left them even more shocked.
The tiny scorpion, no bigger than a finger, began to expand rapidly.
In monts, it grew taller than a person!
Little Cutie even took a few proud steps, causing those nearby to scramble back in fear, wanting to run as far away as possible.
For a mont, everyone’s expressions were a mix of astonishnt and terror.
But that wasn’t all.
Next, they saw Yun Xiaoxiao touch her wrist.
A flower was wrapped around it.
Everyone had assud it was a plastic flower, just for decoration.
But to their surprise, the flower affectionately nuzzled Yun Xiaoxiao’s hand.
Then, before their eyes, it rapidly extended.
Green stems swayed in the wind, and a dazzling trumpet flower blood, swaying gracefully.
Just as everyone was gaping in shock, Yun Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her hand and pointed at the man standing in the center.
"Flower, eat him."
