Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318: 184 Pity (Second Update)

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?

The wrongdoer was the short man who took advantage of the night to loot and rob, and what he stole belonged to those protecting the Safe Zone. It was too excessive and unforgivable!

Consequently, their gaze towards the short man naturally changed, filled with hate and malice!

Suddenly, one person said, "Major Zhou, I saw him, two hours ago, he and some people carried a few big bags back!"

With the first "accusation," several more "witnesses" appeared, all claiming to have seen the event and described it vividly. Some even began to suggest ways to reward the superpower users who protected the Safe Zone to let them know that Ordinary People had not forgotten their efforts.

The short man was afraid to die, so he was unwilling to just accept his fate and struggled again, defending himself, "What do you mean by this? These Crystal Cores and supplies are all hard-earned by us, you can’t defame us like this!"

Zhou Yan couldn’t be bothered with him, he put the Crystal Cores back into the inner pocket, closed the bag, and handed it to a subordinate. Then he turned around, glanced at the short man and his silent accomplices, gave a cold laugh, and pointed at three of them, instructing his subordinates, "Take them back for interrogation. As for these three..." he looked at the angry residents, "we are short on manpower right now; these three people, please help watch over them until dawn, and then we can deal with them."

The onlooking crowd, eager to prove themselves, nodded without hesitation; one of them even said, "You can rest assured, Major Zhou. We’ll watch them and make sure these three don’t escape!" He said this with a cold glance at the three, including the short man.

The three people Zhou Yan purposely picked out all seemed more honest or, in other words, timid and less likely to lie. The remaining three, including the short man, wouldn’t be as easy to handle.
