Being a villain in apocalyptic writing

The patients outside also came over to eavesdrop.

There was worry on his face.

This time, Luo Ming did not hide it from other people, because the news had spread throughout the city and could not be concealed at all.

"Hu Jing killed 12 people in the street early this morning at the west corner of the refugee camp. He used poison to kill them."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room became agitated.

"what?!"

"Oh my God! Is he crazy?"

"Why?" There was fear in everyone's voice.

"What should we do?"

"..."

As if he had anticipated everyone's reaction, Luo Ming was not in a hurry to appease them, but waited for Luan Ning's arrangements.

The most frightening thing about this incident is that Hu Jing did not hide his thoughts from the civilians at all!

He even did it right in front of so many ordinary people.

When rules and morals become nothingness, ordinary people lose their last bit of safety.

They can only pray that such a butcher's knife will not fall on their heads the next moment.

Even the doctors at the clinic seemed a little flustered.

Everyone looked at Luan Ning.

"Everyone... don't panic." Luan Ning is only 24 years old this year. It can be seen that she is a little at a loss when faced with Hu Jing's rough methods.

But he still tried his best to reassure everyone: "I will never let him hurt anyone in the clinic."

The crowd was less panicked, but only a little.

He said this firmly, and Jiang Ye knew that if he dared to say it, he must be sure.

And given Hu Jing's temper, if he wanted to harm the people in the clinic, he would have to go over his dead body.

Even without mentioning his medical skills that won Wan Zhiming's favor, he also had a trump card that no one knew about: poison.

I am more or less confident when facing Hu Jing.

But others were not aware of the twists and turns involved. Since ancient times, the people have not fought against the officials, and Luan Ning was just a doctor.

In their eyes, his words were somewhat empty talk.

Jiang Ye sighed silently.

Then she raised her head and asked Luo Ming softly, "Does the twelve people killed by Commander Hu Jing have any common characteristics? Or did he say why he killed these people?"

This immediately reminded everyone.

"Yes, yes! There must be a reason, right?"

"Yeah, why so suddenly..."

Random killing and targeted screening are two completely different situations for them.

"Deputy Commander Jiang mentioned that these people are spies who have infiltrated from other places in the past two years. The recent unrest in the city is caused by them..." Luo Ming replied in a low voice.

"Ah? A spy?"

"Well, this has nothing to do with us..."

"No wonder the things happening in the city have been getting more and more outrageous recently. I've been thinking about escaping as soon as possible."

All of a sudden, everyone felt relieved.

If he was a spy, then although Hu Jing's methods were cruel and bloody, they were acceptable to ordinary people.

After all, this is the end of the world, and in times of chaos, only severe punishments can suppress things.

"It seems that we don't have to worry for the time being." Jiang Ye smiled faintly, "After all, these are all unarmed patients. How could Commander Hu Jing make things difficult for us?"

"Yes." Everyone agreed.

Having gotten a satisfactory answer so quickly, no one wanted to investigate whether there were other possibilities.

They all dispersed.

Even if someone subconsciously feels that something is wrong, when they see that other people are not panicking, they will comfort themselves that they are just worrying too much.

Looking at their backs as they left, Luo Ming seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Jiang Ye stopped him in time: "Brother Luo——"

Everyone present was stunned. Jiang Ye continued, "The herbs that Doctor Luan asked me to prepare for you the day before yesterday are ready. Shall we go to the pharmacy to get them?"

Luan Ning and Luo Ming both looked at her in surprise.

But when other patients heard about this, they all expressed their concern:

"Brother Luo, are you sick?"

"Are you too tired to find someone recently? You should take care of your health."

"Yes, if you collapse, our clinic will be in danger."

The clinic's defense team is basically composed of people with special abilities like Luo Ming who once received help from the clinic and then voluntarily stayed.

However, people who have mutated to develop special powers will more or less be affected by side effects on their bodies.

When everyone heard that he needed medicinal herbs, they were naturally very worried.

Luo Ming was very flattered by this sudden concern and responded with an awkward smile.

Naturally, he had no chance to tell them that he had not asked Doctor Luan to treat any illness, nor did he need any medicinal herbs.

Luan Ning was calmed down by Jiang Ye's look and did not reveal the truth.

After arranging a series of things, it was almost noon.

Luan Ning pushed Jiang Ye, and Luo Ming followed beside him. The three of them had calm expressions as they walked towards the pharmacy.

But after avoiding other people, Luan Ning took them to the small cubicle where he had chatted with Jiang Ye before.

Watching Luan Ning light the candle, Luo Ming asked in confusion: "Jiang Ye, why did you say..."

"Brother Luo." Jiang Ye interrupted him softly, "I just think that what you want to say later may not be suitable for others to hear now. That's why I resorted to this last resort."

Luan Ning was slightly stunned.

Luo Ming's expression changed: "Do you know what I want to say?"

"I don't know." Jiang Ye shook his head, "But if it's really just a simple killing of spies, it won't cause panic. At least for Dongxing City, it's exciting news.

"In that case, you could have explained it clearly as soon as you entered the ward, instead of hiding part of it after I asked you about it."

Luo Ming was speechless when he witnessed her sharpness for the first time.

"Luo Ming, did you find anything?" Luan Ning asked.

Luo Ming came back to his senses and said in a low voice: "I'm just a little uneasy... Among the twelve people killed, there are indeed a few unfamiliar faces who entered the city recently.

"But there are still four individual mercenaries who have been outside the city for quite a few years. I once worked with one of them when I was a mercenary outside.

"There is also an old woman. I heard that she is a native of Hai City. She was here before the end of the world and she has not mutated."

Luan Ning was distracted for a moment, and then he finally understood Luo Ming's hesitation: "Are you suspecting that Hu Jing randomly selected people for this massacre?"

Luo Ming's expression was gloomy. He certainly didn't want to admit this fact.

but--

"That mercenary is very honest and enthusiastic. I have worked with him several times and have never seen him do anything special.

"And that old lady. She has lived here since before and after the end of the world. The longest distance she travels is to get relief.

"I really can't think of any organization that would let an old man who hasn't mutated be a spy!"

"As expected..." Luan Ning smiled bitterly and glanced at Jiang Ye, who looked calm, "It is indeed true that this matter cannot be known to everyone."

Otherwise, even with Luan Ning there, the clinic would be in chaos.

When faced with the threat of life and death, people's instinct is to escape, and it is difficult to reason with them at this time.

At this moment, Luan Ning found that Jiang Ye was in a trance, and couldn't help but walk over and called out: "Jiang Ye?"
