"That's right. Director Liu is right. Nowadays, these young people are becoming more and more self - centered. They only care about themselves and have no respect for us elders at all."
"Exactly. The traditional values of respecting the elderly and caring for the young in China have been thrown away by them."
"Absolutely, absolutely."
Seeing someone taking the lead, the others quickly chimed in.
Facing the two young girls, they had no trace of the fear they had when facing zombies. They seemed not to notice the piles of zombie corpses on the ground at all. All they could see were the bags of supplies in the girls' hands.
They had been eyeing these supplies for days. Unfortunately, there were zombies gathered at the entrance. It was only today, after seeing the two passing young girls kill the zombies, that these people dared to come out.
The things they had been coveting for so long were being taken right in front of their eyes. Who wouldn't be resentful?
Lin Qingqing folded her arms and watched coldly as these five cowardly and greedy old men spouted nonsense. She couldn't help but wonder how these people had managed to survive until now. Hadn't they considered that she and Lei Min were ability users?
Lei Min didn't think that much. She glanced at Lin Qingqing, who was standing by with folded arms watching the show, then turned around and pulled out a brand - new steel pipe from the trunk, waving it casually in the air. "What do you mean? Do you want to rob us of our supplies?"
As she finished speaking, with a flick of her hand, a series of crackling sparks burst out from the top of the steel pipe.
This scene made the old men retreat in a hurry. One tall and thin old man was so frightened that his voice cracked. "Sorcery... Sorcery! This girl can also use sorcery!"
"Sorcery? This is an ability. Don't you know about ability users?" Lei Min was astonished. They didn't know about ability users, yet they had seen someone using an ability? How could this be?
"Don't try to deny it. You're both witches. These man - eating monsters were conjured up by you with your sorcery!"
The leading old man, the so - called Director Liu in the others' mouths, looked fierce, so excited that he seemed eager to pounce on them and take a bite.
"What? Witches? You mean us two?" Lei Min pointed at herself in a daze, then at Lin Qingqing beside her.
"Sister Lin, it's been so long since the end of the world. How come there are still people who don't know about ability users? Haven't any of them awakened as ability users?"
"They even said that we turned the zombies into existence. If we had that ability, we could just rule the world directly," Lei Min rolled her eyes, her tone full of disdain.
Lin Qingqing also didn't expect such a situation. She had originally thought that these old men just wanted to take some advantage. Although they were shameless, considering it was the end of the world and everyone was trying to survive, she was going to let it go.
But she never expected that someone would point at her and call her a witch. It was really... so ignorant that it was both laughable and annoying.
"Who told you that ability users are all witches? Have you seen other ability users?" Lin Qingqing suddenly became curious.
"Witches are witches. They're all no good!"
The one who said this was a short old man. Just as he was about to give an example, a bald old man interrupted him."That's right. The daughter - in - law of the Liu family has divorced twice. Now she's actually gone back to her parents' home with her child. And the niece of the Wen family, a blind girl. She not only killed her parents but also wants to study. What can a blind person study?"
"Exactly, exactly. And that widow Wang... the granddaughter of the Zhang family..." The short old man, having been interrupted, secretly glared at the bald old man and continued defiantly.
"These unlucky people, once they have sorcery, what else could they be but witches?" Another dark - faced old man said firmly.
"Absolutely. It's all their fault. My poor grandson. He used to often ask that blind girl from the Wen family for candies. Then he was turned into one of those man - eating monsters by just one piece of candy. Wuwu～" The last chubby old man started crying, wiping his tears as he mentioned his grandson.
Watching the five old men spitting and accusing the "witches" in their mouths, Lin Qingqing and Lei Min exchanged a look.
Really?
In their eyes, those were all normal things. But with such exaggeration, it seemed as if those women had truly become heinous witches, not only bringing bad luck to themselves but also all kinds of disasters to the world.
Lei Min had a straightforward temper. Hearing this, she immediately got angry. "What nonsense are you talking about? Why are all the people you mention women? What about men? What are those male ability users? Warlocks?"
"Nonsense... Nonsense. That's the reincarnation of Erlang Shen, with boundless strength, specially coming to subdue demons and monsters!" The leading Director Liu glared fiercely at Lei Min.
"What? So, a strength - type ability user calls several energy - type ability users witches, and he himself becomes the reincarnation of Erlang Shen? And subduing demons and monsters? Could you be more shameless?" Lei Min stared wide - eyed, looking at these old men in disbelief.
"I've really seen it all!"
"I've always thought that the awakening of abilities has a lot to do with personality and emotions. From what they said, those women all seem to be strong - willed and have their own thoughts and pursuits. It's not too strange for such people to awaken abilities."
"However, in the eyes of these mediocre people, the fact that the women they usually look down on can awaken abilities definitely makes them. And since they're, they must be eliminated," Lin Qingqing analyzed calmly.
"It's just sour grapes. They can't get the grapes so they say the grapes are sour!" Lei Min shrugged. In essence, these people just had a sour - grapes mentality, unable to accept that the people they usually looked down on could one day be stronger than them."Sister Lin, let's go," Lei Min didn't even want to look at these old men anymore.
Lin Qingqing hesitated. Judging from the appearance of these old men, there must be others with them, perhaps even a small new survivor settlement. She originally wanted to fish for information. If there really was such a small base here, wouldn't Lei Min have a place to go?
She wasn't afraid that these people were weak. In fact, the weaker they were, the better. Lei Min wouldn't be bullied. Moreover, hearing them say that there were quite a few female ability users here, Lei Min could find a companion if she went. Didn't she want to form a team? Here, the teammates were already available. And with Lei Min, a mutated lightning - type ability user, others would surely be happy to team up with her. If the female ability users could stick together, they wouldn't have to fear these people who discriminated against them.
"Maybe this is a good opportunity that benefits both sides," Lin Qingqing thought to herself.
"Sister Lin?" Lei Min got into the car and looked at Lin Qingqing still standing outside, puzzled.
"Wait a little longer," Lin Qingqing waved at her, about to explain when a group of people appeared around the corner.
These people were of different ages and genders. They walked over, arm in arm, with their heads held high, looking as if they were about to fight against class enemies.
"What's going on now? Judging by this situation, they're not coming with good intentions!" Fearing that Lin Qingqing might get hurt, Lei Min quickly got out of the car and stood beside her with a weapon in hand.
"Are these the two little witches? Come on, tie them up. Since they're the ones who conjured up those man - eating monsters, let's feed them to those monsters!"
The leading middle - aged woman glanced at the two of them and, without asking a single question, ordered others to tie them up.
"Hmph, they're getting more and more shameless!" Lei Min was furious. She was already seething with anger. Seeing two strong old men approaching them with ropes, she snorted and directly jabbed the electrified steel pipe at them. The two old men immediately rolled their eyes and fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Murder! The little witches are murdering people!" Unexpectedly, the two young girls really dared to attack them. Seeing the two men lying on the ground, their fates unknown, the leading middle - aged woman was so shocked that she started screaming at the top of her lungs.
"Hey! They're just electrocuted and fainted. They're not dead. What are you yelling for?" Lei Min rubbed her ears, looking disgusted.
"They must be dead. They're not moving. They must have been killed by your sorcery!"
Regardless of whether it was true or not, the middle - aged woman continued to shriek loudly, "These two damned little witches have killed Old Zhang and Old Wang. If you don't want to die, act quickly!"
These few words ignited the anger in the hearts of the others. They glared at Lin Qingqing and Lei Min, eager to subdue them.
