"Could it be... a Korean? A South Korean? Or perhaps a Japanese?"
"Oh? Whether you're from South Korea or Japan, we're all Americans! And both South Korea and Japan are US allies, aren't they? We're good friends, friends. We're not like that hypocritical Dongda University."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Su Hui's previously indifferent gaze finally showed a slight change.
Mei thought she had finally hit the nail on the head, and her spirits lifted immediately, making her even more unrestrained.
She seemed to be trying to curry favor with Su Hui by belittling Dongda University, while simultaneously elevating her so-called "compatriot" status.
Her words began to contain some subtle complaints and smears against the University of Tokyo, as if she felt that this would resonate more with "non-University of Tokyo students".
"Tokyo University has so many restrictions and restrictions; it's not free at all. What kind of democracy is this? It's just hypocrisy... It's nothing like the friendly America we live in..."
"They talk about gender equality, but they're just bullying us women..."
As she spoke, she secretly observed the changes in Su Hui's expression.
Seeing Su Hui's increasingly attentive attitude, he immediately began to intensify his malicious comments and slander, rambling on and on with great enthusiasm.
His tone was filled with a sense of superiority and disdain for China.
It's as if only in this way can one highlight how wise her choice to "stay abroad" was.
"Actually, people like us who are capable should have come out a long time ago. What's the point of staying in the country? With this disaster, we're definitely doomed..."
"Handsome guy, you're obviously a capable person. You must have seen through it all long ago, right?"
She swayed her hips, trying to get closer to Su Hui, her voice low and carrying a blatant hint.
"...Actually, I'm very clean, really, I've only ever had my boyfriend...If you're willing to take us away from here, I...I can do anything to make you happy...I won't let you suffer any losses."
She glanced at Harley and her two friends not far away, a flash of jealousy in her eyes, and then puffed out her rather unremarkable chest.
"Don't let my disheveled appearance fool you, those behind you are all little babies, they don't know how to be considerate... But I'll take care of you..."
"As long as you take us away from this hellhole and to Staples Center for refuge... I... I can come see you alone tonight, you can do whatever you want with me..."
Her gaze lingered blatantly on Su Hui, filled with a nakedly transactional intent, as if she were still dreaming of tasting the young heartthrob.
Harley's smile vanished, her eyes turning cold and dangerous, as if she were looking at a dead object.
Tina frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.
Mary's face turned red with anger, and she clenched her fists.
Su Hui, who had been silent all along, finally spoke slowly.
Looking at this woman who was jumping around and acting all high and mighty, he spoke in fluent and clear Chinese, enunciating each word distinctly:
"Does your motherland really bring you so much shame?"
Mei's smile froze instantly; the flattery, scheming, and smugness on her face shattered, leaving only deep astonishment.
She didn't expect that
The man in front of me is actually Chinese!
My previous behavior made me look like a clown!
"You, you, you!!"
An indescribable sense of shame and embarrassment welled up inside her, her cheeks instantly turning bright red. She pointed at Su Hui, unable to speak, as if she had been slapped hard across the face.
Su Hui's eyes were icy cold, devoid of any warmth.
"roll."
Mei's face changed from red to white, then from white to green, a truly spectacular display.
She lost her mind instantly.
"What...what did you say?! You dare to insult me?!"
Enraged, she screamed, her eyes flashing as she met the gaze of her Black boyfriend behind her. Without thinking, she reached out to grab Su Hui's clothes.
"Who do you think you are! Just because I gave you some food doesn't mean you're so great! Let me tell you..."
Her hand hadn't even touched Su Hui yet.
Su Hui raised his leg and kicked out.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound.
Mei was kicked away and crashed into a pile of debris next to her, letting out a painful groan and unable to get up for a long time.
"what!"
The woman cried out in pain, followed by even sharper wails and curses, "Kenny! He hit me! He hit me!"
"Don't eat the pickled radish! Kid, how dare you touch my woman?!"
"Fuck you! You're asking for it! You have to compensate me for my woman's loss, or I'll shoot you dead!"
Kenny, the burly black man who had been standing behind May, raised an eyebrow and flew into a rage, his still-developing face contorted with rage.
He suddenly raised the fairly well-maintained Glock pistol in his hand, pointing the dark muzzle at Su Hui, his eyes fierce, but the glint in the depths of his eyes revealed his true intentions.
His step forward immediately ignited a fuse.
in the crowd,
The other male survivors, whose eyes had been darting around restlessly, also gripped their weapons tightly, ready to pounce.
"Hey buddy, we're all survivors, why resort to violence? I think you're in the wrong. You hit a woman, you deserve an explanation, right?"
One of the bald white men, carrying a shotgun, took a few steps forward with a malicious smile on his face.
"Exactly! Mei didn't say anything, she just wanted to get closer to you, right? And you, you just started hitting her!"
Another Latino youth holding a crowbar joined in the commotion.
"We're all survivors, so helping each other is the right thing to do, but you can't just bully others because you're a little stronger, can you?"
While they were verbally trying to mediate the fight, they were actually supporting the burly black man and subtly surrounding Su Hui and his group of four.
Clearly, the food Su Hui had offered earlier not only failed to bring peace, but also exposed their "wealth," attracting the covetous eyes of these people.
They saw Su Hui's strength, as well as the three stunning beauties beside him and the ample supplies.
Greed overwhelmed fear and gratitude.
They outnumbered their opponents and had guns, while the other side only had Su Hui as a man. Harley and the other two women were obviously novices, and they were so scared that they could barely hold their guns.
As long as they force Su Hui to submit, they can get food, weapons, and even women!

Su Hui calmly watched the farce unfold before him.
The Glock pistol in the hands of the burly black man Kenny, its dark muzzle almost touching his forehead, could not make him flinch in the slightest.
Perhaps Kenny thought that doing so was a threat.
At such close range, Su Hui was able to cut off his head before he could pull the trigger, as easily as crushing an ant.
His gaze swept over the burly black man named Kenny, and then over the several restless, greedy male survivors nearby.
Finally, the gaze fell upon the face of the Asian woman, contorted with shame, anger, and resentment.
He did not act immediately.
It wasn't out of fear, but rather out of a sense of absurdity.
The apocalypse truly is a magnifying glass for human nature.
A small act of charity can elicit gratitude, but it can also easily ignite hidden greed and malice.
"Kenny! Stop! What do you think you're doing?!"
Ryan Miller suddenly stepped between Kenny and Su Hui, his face showing anxiety and anger.
"Mr. Su Hui just helped us! Is this how you treat your benefactor?"
He glared at Kenny, his sharp gaze landing on the few survivors who were forming a swarm behind Kenny.
Ryan still held some prestige among the survivors. Faced with his questioning, the men behind Kenny avoided eye contact and dared not meet his gaze.
"Fuck! Ryan! Mind your own business!"
However, Kenny didn't take Ryan's questions to heart.
He had Mei pester the other party for this very moment, so how could he give up just because of Ryan's casual remark!
"This kid hit my woman! He has to pay the price!"
Kenny shoved Ryan away, who stumbled and almost fell, spitting almost onto Ryan's face.
"That kid hurt Mei! He has to pay the price! He has so many supplies and three such beautiful girls, why should he have them all to himself?"
"He thinks he's so capable that he doesn't respect us at all! He hit us and then thought he could just leave?"
His words were so inflammatory that they immediately resonated with the other men.
"Exactly! They only gave us that little bit of food and water, is this how you give alms to beggars?!"
The bald white man raised his shotgun, the muzzle swaying slightly.
"Ryan, don't get involved in this!"
"Everyone is just trying to survive. He's so strong, shouldn't he share more of the spoils to protect everyone?"
"Mei is right, we are all compatriots, it is only right to help each other!"
The Latino youth brandished a crowbar, staring at Su Hui with hostile eyes.
Mei scrambled to her feet, clutching her stomach, her face contorted with venom. She screamed, "Ryan! Get out of my way! This brat hit me, he has to pay for this! And that bitch with him too!"
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Ryan looked at these people who were blinded by greed, his face turning pale with anger, and he put his hand on the holster at his waist.
He also had a gun, and he felt grateful to Su Hui.
But his wife was pregnant, and Kenny and his gang had gone mad. Just as Ryan was struggling with this dilemma, he saw his wife's eyes and her weak smile.
Just like how she always upheld her own sense of justice.
What am I hesitating about!
This moment!
Ryan took a deep breath, and without hesitation, pulled the pistol from its holster, released the safety, and with a solemn expression and sharp eyes, glared at Kenny and the others.
“Listen, Kenny! Mr. Su Hui has no obligation to do anything for us! As a police officer, if you try anything reckless, I'll be on his side!”
Ryan's words were resounding and powerful.
His identity as a police officer and his image of taking responsibility throughout his career still left everyone stunned.
They didn't expect that Ryan, who could have simply stayed out of it and waited to reap the benefits later, would insist on taking a stand.
Even Su Hui's eyes flickered slightly; his good intentions had not been in vain after all.
Ryan and Kenny's eyes met, neither willing to back down.
The atmosphere instantly became tense!
at this time,
It was intermittent, yet it followed a certain pattern.
"Buzz...buzz...Is anyone there...repeat...This is..."
One of the survivors, who had been leaning against the wall and fiddling with the old radio, suddenly looked up and shouted in surprise.
"There's a response! There's a radio response!"
The shout broke the silence and instantly drew everyone's attention.
All the survivors instinctively looked toward the radio, their eyes rekindling with renewed hope.
If there is news, does it mean that the rescue team is about to arrive?
Almost at the same time.
