Chapter 372 - 12: You Really Don’t Seem Like a Human_3
She raised her voice, and the sound in the microphone was particularly loud: "At critical moments, someone always has to sacrifice, right?"
After saying these simple words, she put down the microphone and looked leisurely at the reactions of the people below the stage.
—Isn’t Li Chang’an a hero? Isn’t everything for the base? Doesn’t he stand on the moral high ground to extract benefits from her?
Then she wants to see, now, who is really suffering!
...
In the next moment, an elderly lady with graying hair standing at the front suddenly bent forward, took two steps, and picked up a large apple at the edge of the stage. Then she swung her arm forward—
"Bang!"
"You’re talking shit!"
The old lady was the best at planting rice shoots on the transplanting team!
She used all her strength at this moment, and that apple smashed straight into Song You’s forehead, causing her to stagger back two steps, only seeing stars in front of her eyes.
Before she could react, a few others stepped forward and took an apple. After thinking about it, they couldn’t bear to do it, so they simply took off their shoes and threw them at her!
Anyone who had managed to persist until now had some skills, whether throwing shoes or apples, their aim was exceptionally good!
To attract everyone, Song You had brought out apples each with a diameter of over 10 centimeters, both crisp and refreshing, with plenty of juice.
Now, when they hit her body, she almost couldn’t ignore the small bomb on her head and retreat directly back to the space!
Luckily, the microphone was still in her hand. She turned around with difficulty and screamed:
"Are you crazy? Isn’t having something to eat better?! Free food not good enough?! I don’t believe you’re not tempted!"
...
"Pah!"
The old lady’s loud voice was louder than her without a microphone.
"When I was struggling to get food, your family’s ancestral grave wasn’t even erected yet! Do you know how you grew up eating shit?"
"Just because you got a superpower you’re showing off, you bastard, almost got everyone killed still big-talking here, I’ll mess up your face first!"
This was a brawny man standing at the front.
"Survival of the fittest? Your status? If it’s survival of the fittest, go abroad! What’s so great about having a superpower, lock him up and whip him a few times, listen to whoever is obedient, the one who survives is king!"
"Sacrifice Mr. Li? How do you know he hasn’t sacrificed before? Are you fucking from Zheng Country?"
"You damn bastard, drawing in flying insects almost got us all killed, yet you have the face to spout nonsense here..."
All around came the sound of curses, the clamor accompanied by apples being thrown to and fro, leaving Song You nowhere to hide, forced to endure such pain miserably curling up her body.
Apples scattered on the ground inevitably broke and splattered juice, their aroma growing richer.
Yet the expressions on people’s faces showed pain, but none hesitated to throw them.
Song You finally couldn’t bear it, turned her back to the crowd with the microphone and screamed: "You’re crazy, you’ve all gone crazy, you’ve all been brainwashed!"
"Haven’t you not eaten apples for years? Don’t you understand my superpower, I can provide these! Continuously! Am I not more valuable than Li Chang’an?"
"Besides, many flying insects came, but hasn’t anyone sacrificed?"
After she finished speaking, silence spread again, and at this moment, Chu River went on stage.
She was now a well-known figure in the base, everyone knew she was still recovering from severe injuries [after all, being a hero being lazy isn’t a good publicity point, so Li Chang’an embellished the truth]
The severely injured hero strode toward Song You, and as Li Chang’an and Lei Yu were talking, she grabbed the opponent’s hair and dragged her forcefully to kneel on one knee.
Then, she slapped her.
This was no ordinary slap often seen in fights, but one with such force as if wanting to cut off half her skull!
Song You fell directly to the ground, the microphone in her hand rolling away.
At that moment, all she saw was darkness and dizziness, even the pain felt like it was behind a layer, dull, and she was slow to react.
Chu Aiguo was still not satisfied after that slap, directly pulling her hair again to lift her up, then pointed her embarrassed face resembling a swollen pig’s head at the camera below the stage:
"No sacrifices? Let me tell you, there’s no sacrifice this time because we have no one left to sacrifice."
There were a full 1.5 billion people in Zheng Country before the big disaster, now, the population is less than 200 million nationwide, this is a national extinction disaster, now the people do not cry, only because they have borne so much that they are numb.
It’s not because human life is cheap.
...
"You, a person like you, dare to compare yourself to Li Chang’an? What contribution have you made to the base? Who have you helped? What good have you done? You came to the base to enjoy the convenience and life here, but in the end, you brought the flying insects... What that old lady said was right, do you know how you grew up eating shit?"
"Song You, you truly aren’t human."
