"Moreover," Chen Chao looked at her indifferently and said, "the reason they will die is actually because of you."
"Me?" Ye Fei thought she might have misheard.
Chen Chao was cold as he said, "You lack the ability to help people, but you still try to save them without restraint. For them, this is slow murder. Your kindness merely prolongs their lives by a few days. When there is no more food, they will still turn against each other, just like what you saw tonight."
Ye Fei was stunned. She had never considered these things. The education she received from childhood, the ideas she learned, and the words of her parents all told her that with great power comes great responsibility. People with abilities have a duty to save others.
Recalling the events of the past few days, she suddenly realized that although she had saved them from the monsters, it was only temporary. Without food, they would eventually die...
Thinking about this, she felt lost.
"Is saving people also wrong..." she murmured to herself. The beliefs she had firmly held since childhood were shaken at this moment.
Fan Xiangyu covered her mouth with a giggle and said, "You're really a cute but foolish police officer. Saving others is of course not wrong, but you need to know what true saving is."
True...saving?
Ye Fei was struck by a sudden realization, and her face froze. After a long time, her eyes suddenly sparkled with determination, and her entire demeanor seemed to change at this moment. She looked at Chen Chao intently, bowed her head, and said, "Please teach me to fight. I want to...kill all the monsters!"
Only by eliminating all the monsters can humanity obtain true redemption!
Her gaze was firm and unyielding, and her beliefs were unshakable at this moment.
Chen Chao didn't expect that Fan Xiangyu's casual remark had actually awakened this police officer. His eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at her calmly, saying, "Are you sure?"
Ye Fei nodded seriously and looked at him firmly, saying, "Please teach me!"
Chen Chao gazed into her eyes for a moment, and then he nodded slightly, saying, "I can teach you, but you must first pass my test."
"Test?" Ye Fei was slightly startled but quickly nodded, saying, "Tell me, and I will definitely do it!"
Chen Chao leaned back in his chair and said calmly, "The test is simple. Just follow our footsteps and safely arrive at the capital base."
"Is that all?" Ye Fei looked at him in surprise.
"Yes." Chen Chao nodded and said, "We will not provide you with any protection during the journey."
Ye Fei readily agreed, saying, "No problem."
Fan Xiangyu couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "You're so foolish that you wouldn't even know if you were being sold. Hey, silly sister, haven't you noticed that these monsters can't run as fast as us? It's strange that you can keep up with us. At that time, it will be like you're hiking to the capital alone. Do you know how dangerous that is?"
Ye Fei hesitated for a moment before recalling the things she had overlooked before. She immediately realized that Fan Xiangyu was not scaring her but stating facts. With the speed of these people, she couldn't catch up at all. However, there was no fear in her eyes, only more determination. She said, "I won't give up!"
Fan Xiangyu covered her forehead and said, "Oh my goodness, there are really such foolish people. How overflowing is your sense of justice? Isn't it better for you to live well alone? Why do you have to save others?"
Ye Fei smiled and said, "Saving people doesn't need a reason."
Fan Xiangyu was completely speechless.
Chen Chao threw a packet of snacks over and said, "Eat and get some sleep early. We have to leave in the morning."
"Thank you." Ye Fei politely received it and immediately began to devour it. In fact, she had been starving.
Lin Shiyu kindly handed her a bottle of mineral water and said, "Don't choke."
"Thank you." Ye Fei took it, quickly opened the cap, and took several gulps, almost choking.
"Hey, you can't even fill your stomach and want to save the world," Fan Xiangyu shrugged and shook her head, looking very disdainful.
Lin Shiyu glared at her and said, "You don't understand anything."
Fan Xiangyu didn't dare to refute her. To a certain extent, she feared Lin Shiyu even more than Chen Chao.
Ye Fei finished the snacks quickly, and Lin Shiyu handed her a few more packets until she was full. In the second half of the night, the group successively leaned against shelves or walls and fell asleep.
...
The next day, dawn arrived.
Chen Chao was the first to wake up. After stretching his body, he rinsed his mouth with a toothbrush from the convenience store, then woke up Lin Shiyu and the others to eat snacks as breakfast. Afterward, he pushed open the door and continued their journey.
Led by Chen Chao, the group quickly ran along the street.
Ye Fei could keep up at first, but soon realized that the speed of these three was incredibly fast. Even though Chen Chao was fast, even Fan Xiangyu and Lin Shiyu were far beyond her reach. Moreover, these three didn't even look winded, obviously not exerting their full strength.
Ye Fei panted heavily and lost sight of Chen Chao and the others after running through two streets. She felt a sense of despair, but she didn't stop and continued to chase desperately.
Fan Xiangyu looked back at Ye Fei and said to Chen Chao, "Demon...uh, why didn't you give her evolution energy? She's an ordinary person. How can she keep up with us? Isn't this sending her to her death?"
Chen Chao didn't turn back and said coldly, "Do you care about human lives?"
Fan Xiangyu was momentarily speechless.
Chen Chao was just about to stand up when he suddenly flicked his ear and looked ahead on the highway. He saw a huge crimson shadow racing along the highway, knocking aside congested cars along the way.
