Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317: 183 Incitement (second update to be added)_2

To prevent further loss, the search operation began quickly. Any household with items that didn’t match the owner’s identity or capability was treated as a suspect and would then undergo a thorough investigation.

Currently, there are nearly three hundred thousand people in the Safe Zone, the majority of whom are still Ordinary People, with superpower users making up only one tenth.

To inspect so many residents one by one is a massive task. And even after being checked, it’s almost impossible to clarify everything. What they could do was merely try to minimize the losses as much as possible.

At the same time, it also showed those who had suffered losses the military’s stance, so they wouldn’t feel disheartened.

The number of zombies outside is now countless, and even plants and animals are starting to mutate. Humanity’s enemies are multiplying, and the situation is becoming increasingly grave! All these superpower users are precious warriors. If they lose heart, who would stand up the next time zombies attack the city?

Those who committed the thefts were far too greedy and foolish! They were basically digging their own graves!

The whole Safe Zone was thrown into chaos by the disturbance. Some people, although they didn’t stand up bravely during the zombie attack, had never stolen anything. Suffering suspicion as potential suspects, how could they not bear resentment?

And those with guilty consciences, worried their deeds would come to light, were inclined to cause trouble.

So, a shifty-looking short man suddenly said to the other innocent residents, "Did you all hear that? They’re treating us like thieves! Talking about a routine inspection, but it’s probably just an excuse to plunder! With so many people here, who’s to know if things will get damaged or if someone will hide things away? We’ve barely scraped together a little food, why should we be under suspicion? What happens if you damage something during your inspection or stash it away yourselves? You’re clearly trying to push us to death! Even if we are Ordinary People, we too have dignity! Right, everyone?"

At these words, the expression of the surrounding residents changed, and they looked at the search personnel with an unfriendly sense of shared enmity.

The man was right. If the little food they had managed to save got spoiled or was taken, what would they do?

No! They couldn’t let these people in!

Seeing that his scheme was working, the short man’s eyes darted around, and he immediately spoke up again, "Why should those superpower users be so high above us, while we Ordinary People are under suspicion? Why should Ordinary People be considered a notch below superpower users? We’re people too! We demand fairness!"
