Chapter 456: 399 Every snowflake is not innocent
Chen Xiumin’s mind was in disorder again, but now she had understood their intent.
She shook her head in disbelief, desperately saying,
“It wasn’t me, you were the ones who said to take decisive action, you were the ones who said you would hold off the Garrison.”
“Why would you encourage me to do so and now say these things?”
“Aren’t we all family? Haven’t we sworn to support and sustain each other from now on?”
“You said it yourselves, yet now you put all the blame on me, what exactly are you trying to accomplish?”
Everyone started retorting against Chen Xiumin, talking over each other,
“Chief Tang, Chief Tang, this has nothing to do with us.”
“It’s all Chen Xiumin, she acted on her own.”
They pushed all the faults onto Chen Xiumin’s shoulders, someone even spat at her,
“Disgusting witch, it’s all because of you! What nonsense are you linking together?”
“Who doesn’t know that I love children the most, you are slandering me.”
“Chief Tang, look at me, do I look like someone so malicious?”
At that moment, those who initially supported Chen Xiumin to take action harbored no warmth for her.
They detested Chen Xiumin to death.
No one had anticipated that Chen Xiumin would slip up.
Everyone thought that since Chen Xiumin went to bomb the wife and children of Gong Yi, she would definitely die in the bombing.
Yet, not only did the attack fail.
Hua Mi didn’t kill this woman but let her live and managed to capture all those who usually criticized Hua Mi together.
At the same time, more survivors were distanced from Chen Xiumin, loudly complaining about her.
More survivors were being driven over by the Garrison.
Tang You coldly observed those survivors who pushed all the blame onto Chen Xiumin,
“You have always been this way, always pushing the blame onto a woman.”
“Why do you never consider that this situation is created by yourselves?”
Saying this, Tang You pointed to a small hole in the Cloud Mist City Wall, speaking to the survivors,
“Go then, that hole leads to the Xiang City Base North, you can meet your families and reunite with them.”
More survivors were driven to the spot; hundreds if not thousands were chattering away.
It seemed impossible to put all blames solely on Chen Xiumin now.
Some loudly demanded,
“What does Xiang City Base mean by this? What have we done wrong? We just gathered to complain.”
“Isn’t it allowed to complain?”
Nowadays, the world had become unimaginably restrictive, nothing compared to the freedom before the apocalypse.
Before the apocalypse, they could say whatever they wished.
But after the apocalypse, merely complaining about Hua Mi sealing off the Xiang City Base and preventing outsiders from entering, led them to be driven out of Xiang City Base.
So does the management of Xiang City Base just listen to one woman?
Is the coming and going of survivors in Xiang City Base determined solely by the likes and dislikes of one woman?
Since one person raised the question, everyone started speaking up.
Some also shouted loudly,
“I don’t think we did anything wrong. No matter what, Xiang City Base is a significant base. Does everything depend on one woman?”
“Where is Gong Yi? What is Commander Gong doing? Doesn’t he manage anything?”
“Is he just watching his wife, because she is upset with our complaints, driving us living people out of Xiang City Base?”
Tang You coldly looked at these survivors,
“So what exactly do you want?”
“You want to stay here, we provide you with free tents, yet you throw bombs at our commander’s children?”
There was a moment of silence among the crowd.
Because they seemed to remember, just as they demanded Gong Yi to come forward and administer justice.
The children at whom Chen Xiumin threw the bombs were not only Hua Mi’s children but also Commander Gong’s children.
So putting yourself in their place, throwing bombs at Gong Yi’s children and now asking Gong Yi to administer justice for them, that reasoning wouldn’t stand anywhere.
