When she heard Jin Xuyan's words, Jiao Lizhi replied with a smile, "I'm checking if you are injured. That old man suddenly attacked us just now. Fortunately, you reacted quickly and killed him before he could harm us. Brother Yan, you are amazing!"
Hearing her words, Jin Xuyan was stunned for a moment before asking, "Ah Zhi, you don't blame me?"
"Why should I blame you?" she asked.
"I killed a civilian."
Tilting her head to the side, Jiao Lizhi replied, "But he attacked us. That means he had bad intentions and put himself in the position of our enemy. What's wrong with killing someone who wanted to kill us? We were just protecting ourselves."
When Jin Xuyan heard this, the corner of his lips lifted slightly. He nodded and said softly, "Ah Zhi is right."
After confirming that he had fully returned to normal, Jiao Lizhi turned to look at the group of people and asked, "Who are you, and why did that old man attack us?"
The group of men was afraid that they would become the next Director Yang and quickly explained. But with so many people talking at the same time, Jiao Lizhi couldn't hear their words clearly.
Feeling annoyed, she said, "Stop!"
As soon as they heard this, no one dared to open their mouths.
Rubbing her aching temple, Jiao Lizhi pointed at a young man and said, "You, explain."
Being pointed at, the young man's pale face turned paler. He didn't dare to hesitate and quickly said, "S-sister, the one attacking you is Director Yang. We didn't have any intention of attacking you or your friend."
"We are factory workers and were forced by Director Yang to follow his command, or we would be killed. Sister, we only want to survive. We don't want to harm anyone."
Jiao Lizhi looked at the group and asked, "Are all the workers in this factory men?"
The young man shook his head and said, "The women workers are locked in the cafeteria and guarded by Director Yang's people. We were tasked with carrying supplies back to the cafeteria."
After he said these words, another man suddenly added, "If something bad happens, we will become bait to lure the zombies away."
When Jiao Lizhi heard this, her eyes turned cold. She, too, had been zombie bait in her past life before she barely escaped with her life. So, she understood the terror of the so-called bait.
She clenched her fists and said, "That old man indeed deserves to die."
Seeing that the two of them didn't have any intention of killing them, a middle-aged man suddenly rushed out from behind the group and knelt beside Jiao Lizhi.
He kowtowed heavily while saying, "Comrade, I beg you, please save my daughter."
