Chapter 310

As soon as the man finished speaking, several others stepped forward.

"That's right, why not let him finish what he was saying?!"

"We also want to know, buddy, speak up boldly. With so many people watching, no one can act lawlessly here!"

"Exactly, if Ling Jing really has a problem, it concerns the safety of all of us. We have the right to know!"

"Right!"

At this moment, everyone seemed to unite against a common enemy.

"Tsk~"

Suddenly, Ling Jing curled his lips into a faint smile.

He slipped his hands into his pockets and gazed leisurely at Yun Xiaoxiao.

"Little one, let him speak. I’d like to hear what kind of nonsense he’ll come up with."

"But..."

Yun Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows.

She was worried.

If Ling Jing’s secret were revealed to everyone, his situation would become extremely dangerous.

Even if he had no intention of harming anyone, people’s fear would push him into the spotlight, making him a target.

Ling Jing shook his head and chuckled lightly, "It’s fine."

He appeared completely indifferent.

Besides, even if they wanted to stop it now, it was already too late.

If they tried to force the issue, these people would accuse the little one of bullying others with her authority.

By then, what was originally just about him would take on a different tone.

He didn’t care about himself, but he didn’t want to drag Yun Xiaoxiao or Yun City into this mess.

After all, he had always been alone, walking past the gates of the underworld countless times since he was a child.

If it weren’t for Yun Xiaoxiao, after taking revenge on his father’s family, he would have wanted to end it all.

If it weren’t for Yun Xiaoxiao, Lu Chen, and the others, who made him feel that life wasn’t as boring or meaningless as he had imagined, he wouldn’t have clung to this half-human, half-ghost existence.

Hearing Ling Jing’s thoughts, Yun Xiaoxiao’s frown deepened.

She was about to say that even if it meant turning against these people, she would protect him!

The people of Yun City—she could deal with them, but no one else could insult him!

But before she could speak, the man across from them took the initiative.

"Since you’re letting me speak, I won’t hold back.

When you bite someone, they turn into a half-corpse. Half-corpses, like zombies, carry a virus inside them. They have an obsession with raw flesh and blood and possess a strong aggression.

Yet, you can easily control them, making them obey only you.

Right now, you only have one half-corpse by your side. But if the numbers grow, and you control them, doesn’t that mean you could dominate everything with just a word?

If even one of them enters a human settlement, it would spell disaster for everyone there.

Just like now, you and your puppet are wandering among us as if nothing’s wrong.

We’re completely defenseless against you.

What if he bites us while we’re asleep? Wouldn’t we be doomed?

And..."

The man stared at Ling Jing.

"I’ve heard you never eat with others. Three meals a day, every single day.

You can’t possibly not eat, right?

What exactly do you eat? Dare to tell us?

Your complexion is paler than most, and your eyes...

All of this makes me seriously suspect that you’re a hidden zombie!"

His words were sharp, each sentence cutting like a knife, completely unlike his earlier pleading tone.

His speech caused most of the people around them to change their expressions.

The looks they gave Ling Jing were filled with scrutiny and fear.

They all knew, more or less, about Ling Jing’s strength.

If he really was a zombie and decided to attack them, most of them would undoubtedly die!

Their minds automatically conjured images of Ling Jing lunging at them, biting them.

The thought sent shivers down their spines, and they instinctively took a few steps back, their bodies tense with caution.

"Bullshit!" Xiao Feng glared at the man.

"Everything you’ve said is just speculation. He’s never harmed anyone. In fact, he’s contributed a lot during the recent battles to defend the city. And now you’re using your wild assumptions to accuse him? Don’t you find yourself ridiculous?"

"Before danger strikes, it’s all just speculation. But once it happens, it’s an irreversible tragedy!"

The scene fell silent for a couple of seconds.

Then, murmurs began to spread through the crowd.

"He’s right, I think he has a point."

"Ling Jing hasn’t explained himself. Does that mean what he said is true?"

"I don’t know, but there’s definitely something eerie about Ling Jing. He’s kind of terrifying."

The power of gossip was on full display at this moment.

"Clap, clap, clap..."

Just then, the sound of applause broke the silence.

Ling Jing suddenly burst into laughter.

"Bravo, truly bravo. You’ve predicted everything I’m going to do. If I don’t live up to your expectations, wouldn’t you be disappointed?"

He laughed so hard that tears nearly streamed down his face.

His demeanor was both sinister and unrestrained.

"Oh, and by the way, you got one thing wrong. When I bite someone, they don’t become half-corpses. They turn into full zombies~"

Everyone: !!!

In an instant, many people drew their weapons, aiming them at Ling Jing.

It was as if they were facing an extremely dangerous individual.

Their eyes were filled with intense wariness.

Yun Xiaoxiao looked at Ling Jing disapprovingly.

Idiot, why say that now?!

Do you think they’re not scared enough of you?

Or do you think you’re not in enough trouble already?!

Though she cursed him in her mind, she immediately stepped in front of Ling Jing.

Her little pets, Xiao Keai and Xiao Huahua, were summoned.

Da Piaoliang and its beast squad also arrived.

Yun Xiaoxiao’s gaze turned icy, her aura overwhelming.

"Who dares to touch him?!"

Lu Chen quietly positioned himself to Ling Jing’s right.

Nie Yizhou, Xiao Feng, Mu Yang, Zheng Yuner, Ci Wan, Lei Ming, and the rest of the Yun City members also formed a defensive formation, shielding Ling Jing in the center.

Ling Jing’s expression softened slightly.

The darkness in his eyes faded, and a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

"Leader Yun, Ling Jing may be a member of Yun City, but he’s admitted to being a zombie. Such a dangerous individual shouldn’t be protected.

By killing him, we’re eliminating a potential threat to your base."

"Has he ever killed an innocent person?" Yun Xiaoxiao asked coldly.

"...No, he hasn’t."

"Did he not contribute during the battles to defend the city?" Yun Xiaoxiao pressed.

The man’s lips twitched, "...He did."

"Hmph, you’re all so amusing," Yun Xiaoxiao sneered. "Because of the words of a murderer, you’re ready to exterminate someone who’s done no wrong and only contributed. How brave! Truly brave!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

What did she mean?

What murderer?

As Yun Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the man who had been so domineering earlier suddenly averted his gaze.
