Chapter 458: 399 Every snowflake is not innocent_3
It looked like Hua Mi was furious this time, determined to wipe them all out.
A man pointed at Chen Xiumin’s face, angered enough to kill her on the spot,
“You take a look at what you’ve done. Kneel down right now, right in front of Cloud Mist City Wall, and kowtow to apologize to Hua Mi.”
“If she doesn’t forgive you, you’ll keep kowtowing here until Hua Mi is willing to let us go back inside Xiang City Base.”
Chen Xiumin, beaten to a pulp, looked at the man in disbelief as he reached out to choke her, forcing her to kneel and admit her mistakes.
Suddenly, she pushed the man away with a shove.
Chen Xiumin, her expression crazed, shouted loudly:
“Is it all my fault? Is it really all my fault? When I was making the bomb, did any of you stop me?”
“Didn’t you know I was going to act? Weren’t you the ones who helped distract the Garrison so I could get close to Hua Mi?”
“When an avalanche falls, not a single snowflake is innocent! This isn’t all my fault!!”
Her words immediately made others think of themselves.
They weren’t really familiar with Chen Xiumin.
They only heard from her teammates that Chen Xiumin wanted to make a bomb and needed some materials.
So, they found her those materials.
And some people merely knew that Chen Xiumin planned to bomb Hua Mi’s two children.
However, they didn’t speak against it and even expressed some of their own hatred for Hua Mi.
Because of this, they too were implicated and expelled from Xiang City Base.
Quickly someone reacted, pointing at a few other accomplices of Chen Xiumin—her real helpers.
They timely participated and helped Chen Xiumin hold up the Garrison’s plan.
The crowd resentfully said:
“You all hung around Chen Xiumin so much, and when she was making the bomb, you helped find her materials?”
“You are also the culprits. You too kowtow and apologize to Hua Mi!!!”
The accused men, unable to contain their anger, raised their fists and struck the faces of men around them,
“Blame us? Didn’t you also help find bomb materials?”
Fingers of blame quickly turned towards those men who helped find the bomb materials.
“Yeah, aren’t you guys just making trouble for no reason?”
“Life was good, why did you help find bomb materials?”
“Life in Xiang City wasn’t good enough? You had bomb-making materials, why not sell them to Chi Chuan?”
“Chi Chuan would buy any garbage.”
“It’s because of you guys. Without your help in finding bomb materials for Chen Xiumin, she couldn’t have made a bomb.”
“It’s all because of you…”
The men who had gathered the materials, instantly overwhelmed with anger, started fighting.
Outside Cloud Mist City Wall, chaos erupted into a brawl.
Gong Yi stood atop the Cloud Mist City Wall, his face cold, watching the survivors below.
For such a trivial matter, these survivors were already spilling blood.
And not far away, there was a massive horde of zombies.
Some from Xiang City Base were out on a mission, vigorously fighting the zombies.
Others were ordinary survivors, forming small patches of Oasis under Cloud Mist City Wall.
They used cars to form a simple fortress, where resources inside the small Oasis were not extremely plentiful, but enough to avoid starvation.
There were also ordinary survivors trying to obtain Crystal Cores from the zombies’ brains to trade for resources from mission-going survivors.
Everyone was living a very hard life, while those recently expelled from Xiang City Base were busy brawling.
Amidst the chaos, a woman’s shriek rang out—it was Chen Xiumin, beaten to a pulp for attempting to bomb Hua Mi’s siblings.
A man grabbed her neck and flung her towards several zombies.
Chen Xiumin screamed frantically, flailing her arms.
Gong Yi and Hua Mi hadn’t killed her, nor had they beaten her too severely.
But throwing her out of Cloud Mist City Wall as punishment was far more torturous for her than straightforward execution.
And at the very moment when Chen Xiumin was thrown out, she retaliated, throwing a bomb back into the crowd.
Since we’re all in this together, then let’s die together, die together.
