With Alex's shaking, that sound became increasingly clear. Ko Wenhua furrowed his brows tightly. Just as she was about to recall what the sound was, Alex suddenly opened his eyes and began to speak.
"Brother Ko, I genuinely wish to help you, but I'm just a leader elected by the shelter and can't make decisions arbitrarily. I have to consider everyone in the entire shelter."
"I took a bit too long to think just now. Haha, I apologize for that. Here's what we'll do: I'll have my people send you some food to temporarily alleviate your current crisis. It wouldn't sit well with my conscience to watch you suffer without help. After all, I'm actually a very good person. Besides, we're good brothers.
Since you've personally come to seek my help, I can only set aside some of my rations for you. I just hope that the zombie horde has retreated. If they're still outside, we might end up starving like you!"
Hearing Alex's agreement, Ko Wenhua was instantly overjoyed, tears streaming down his face. He thought his sincere plea had moved Alex. Ko Wenhua fervently kowtowed in gratitude, "Thank you, Alex! Thank you, Brother Xiao! Brother Xiao's kindness to us is truly... truly like that of our reborn parents!
Brother Xiao is genuinely a great person with a compassionate heart!"
Meanwhile, Liu Yifei lay on the ground, her face exhausted and tear-streaked, shame and indignation making her tightly shut her eyes. She really wanted to tell Ko Wenhua just how despicable and shameless Alex truly was. She wanted to convey that Alex's willingness to provide them with food wasn't an act of kindness from this despicable and shameless villain.
Instead, it came at the cost of sacrificing too much of her own dignity!
Ko Wenhua returned to the resettlement camp with a large bag of food, deeply moved as he narrated Alex's kindness and benevolence to everyone. He intentionally or unintentionally highlighted the close relationship between him and Alex, making it seem as if Alex had provided the food out of respect for him.
look at what everyone has become..." Liu Feifei suddenly burst into tears.
Unable to express the pain and grievance buried in her heart, this feeling was pushing her to the brink of collapse. She truly wished she could tell them everything that happened in the past two days. However, she couldn't muster the courage. Once she revealed the truth, they would face the fate of death and shame, even if Alex spared them.
The men before her, full of indignation, would likely kill them.
"Slap!" Ko Wenhua slapped Liu Feifei hard across the face and roared in anger, "What are you talking about?! Feifei, how can you say such things? Are you still a human? They helped us, and you not only forget their kindness but also blame our misfortune on them. Your words are shameful! Do you have no sense of decency?!"
Ko Wenhua was furious. Liu Feifei's words not only offended Alex but also undermined his achievements. It was like a direct slap to his face, and in a sense, a self-destructive act. If Alex's people heard such remarks, there would be no escape for them.
"Feifei! What are you saying? Have you gone mad?"
"Feifei! Please watch your words! If you keep talking like this, don't blame everyone for turning against you!"
"Feifei! Are you out of your mind? If it weren't for Alex taking us in, we might be dead by now. What are you talking about?!"
Whether it was the men or women in the camp, they all angrily pointed at Liu Feifei and reprimanded her.
The men felt that Liu Feifei was ungrateful, while the women were afraid she would reveal their past actions. In an instant, Liu Feifei became the target of everyone's anger.
