Luo Zhi lived in the last row of the community, which was relatively far from the entrance. He heard the clear and ethereal voice and was about to go to the gate when he unexpectedly ran into Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen halfway.
Luo Zhi felt a little embarrassed. “You’re here. It’s a bit short on time. I haven’t gathered enough consultation fees. Can you give me a few more days…”
“The matter of consultation fees can be discussed later. Now come with me.” Wen Qingling turned around and walked back, coincidentally bumping into Mo Jing and others who were chasing after them.
The people from the Nan Yan Base surrounded them, trapping Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen in the middle. Wen Qingling scanned them and finally fixed his gaze on Mo Jing’s face. “Do you think I’m afraid of fighting a group?”
If they all gathered together, wouldn’t it be perfect for him to use his vine hell technique and take care of them all at once?
Mo Jing: “…”
Mo Jing knew that Wen Qingling’s strength was unfathomable. Only a fool would fight him in a group, right?
Mo Jing said, “No one wants to fight you in a group. The deaths of your subordinates have nothing to do with us, really…”
“Does it really have nothing to do with you?” Wen Qingling interrupted him. “My people were all carrying automatic rifles with bullets packed in crates. Now, they died in your Nan Yan Town without using guns. Moreover, their guns and bullets are nowhere to be found. Are you saying once again that it has nothing to do with you?”
If they didn’t use guns, it meant they were ambushed. Civilized zombie hunters were highly vigilant and wouldn’t give strangers a chance to approach them. The only people who could get close to them were those they deemed trustworthy!
After the incident, that area was controlled by Xiong Shu’s people, and no one was allowed to approach. Mo Jing didn’t know about this, so now he wasn’t sure if someone intentionally targeted the crates and killed them.
Wen Qingling said, “Who is the person who wanted the automatic rifles the most?”
After being reminded by Wen Qingling, Mo Jing, Fang Zi, and Yang Mengyu also realized that Tao Yan wasn’t with them.
“Your reasoning is a bit far-fetched. Just because someone wants something, if it’s lost, does it mean they took it?” Feng Hui sneered from the crowd.
Wen Qingling’s gaze turned icy, and he reached out and grabbed Feng Hui, who was uncontrollably dragged over, surrounded by the scent of fresh human flesh, which suddenly became clear.
Wen Qingling firmly grasped Feng Hui’s neck and pulled her closer. The scent of Feng Hui became even more pronounced, similar to the smell of spoiled meat that had been left for a long time, mixed with a stench in the bloody scent, easily overlooked among the fresh human flesh.
Wen Qingling’s gaze turned chilling. “Finally, I’ve caught you.”
Feng Hui struggled desperately and screamed, “Brother! Brother, save me! Mom, save me!”
Feng Yi hurriedly said, “Wen Qingling, don’t be impulsive. Don’t make things difficult for her, she’s just a girl…”
A wooden thorn appeared in Wen Qingling’s hand, and without hesitation, he stabbed it into Feng Hui’s heart.
Feng Yi’s voice got stuck in his throat as he stared in shock at his sister, pierced by Wen Qingling with the wooden thorn.
Everyone around them was equally shocked. The timid ones had already started to retreat. This killing god really didn’t hesitate to kill, not even sparing a girl. It was too terrifying.
Feng Yi trembled all over, his eyes filled with fury. “Wen! Qing! Ling!”
Feng Yi roared furiously and rushed forward, but before he could get close, his two large blades were blocked by a long sword.
Xiao Hen stood in front of Wen Qingling.
Xiao Hen’s sudden appearance was very abrupt, and Feng Yi didn’t even see him. It was as if he had appeared out of thin air. Xiao Hen’s arm shook, causing Feng Yi to be pushed back.
Xiao Hen was like the most loyal guard, standing by Wen Qingling’s side.
After turning into a zombie, his sense of smell became particularly sensitive, so Xiao Hen naturally smelled the difference in Feng Hui’s scent compared to humans. He believed that Wen Qingling wouldn’t kill innocent people indiscriminately. He must have his reasons for doing this.
Wen Qingling looked at Feng Hui, who was still struggling with the wooden thorn. “Piercing the heart didn’t kill you, huh?”
Another wooden thorn appeared in his palm, and Wen Qingling said, “Let’s try piercing your brain this time.”
Mo Jing: “Wen Qingling, don’t be impulsive!”
“Wen Qingling, I’ll fight you to the end!”
Feng Yi rushed forward like a madman. Before he could get close, Feng Hui managed to free herself from Wen Qingling’s grip and pulled herself off the wooden thorn. With legs spring-like, she leaped high and landed among the crowd.
Feng Yi: “…”
Mo Jing: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Is that still a leg? Can a person jump that high?
Feng Hui could see it clearly. Wen Qingling was a ruthless madman who wouldn’t blink an eye at killing. It was almost impossible to gain sympathy from him. She strongly believed that if she didn’t escape, Wen Qingling would indeed pierce her skull, and she would be done right then and there.
Wen Qingling said slowly, “It seems that the head is also your fatal spot.”
Ignoring the bleeding chest, Feng Hui stared at Wen Qingling vigilantly. She instinctively grabbed someone nearby, biting down on their carotid artery on the side of the neck and not letting go. She drank their fresh blood in big gulps, only stopping the voracious biting frenzy after a few mouthfuls, as if a hungry ghost who hadn’t eaten in hundreds of years had caught its prey and devoured it quickly.
Wen Qingling spoke slowly, “Xiong Shu, you can escape now. Go to the big truck and load up the mutant animals. Take your men and drive the truck to Ling City. The monsters are about to feast, and I’ll watch from here.”
Xiao Hen: “…”
Xiao Hen couldn’t help but find it amusing. He often thought that Wen Qingling must have been a very interesting person when he was alive. He had principles in how he lived and acted, and he was extremely protective of his subordinates. Even if they were insignificant individuals, in times of danger, he would still look out for them. Just like now, even though Xiong Shu and the others were not exactly Wen Qingling’s subordinates, just low-level lackeys helping with collecting mutant animals, he still reminded them to escape at a time like this. Truly the style of Wen Qingling.
Xiong Shu heard Wen Qingling’s voice clearly at the entrance of the community and hurriedly climbed into the pickup truck and drove away as instructed.
Following Wen Qingling’s orders, Xiong Shu took his men and two big trucks to Ling City.
The surviving crowd was already frightened out of their wits. When they heard Wen Qingling say, “The monsters are about to feast,” they all screamed and ran away.
In the fleeing crowd, there were occasional “people” leaping high and pouncing on others, starting to bite. Most of them only took a single bite before being thrown off and continuing to pounce on the next target. Their behavior didn’t resemble hunting for food, but rather, it seemed like the spread of infection.
The entire base descended into chaos, with survivors fleeing in all directions. Screams of agony filled the air. Compared to the terrified survivors in a state of panic, Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen were too calm. They stood still in their original positions, truly just watching the monsters feast on people.
Feng Hui, with blood and meat debris in her mouth, had neat teeth that had turned into sharp serrated ones. She let out a roar that didn’t belong to a human. By now, the wound in her heart was almost healed.
Feng Hui gnashed her teeth at Wen Qingling, who turned his head and looked at Xiao Hen. “Are you sure she didn’t wear dentures before? How did her teeth suddenly become serrated? Isn’t that cheating?”
Even their civilized zombies didn’t have such serrated teeth. How could they have them?
Xiao Hen: “…”
Isn’t the problem we should be concerned about right now something else?
While Wen Qingling was still pondering whether Feng Hui’s teeth were real or fake, he reached out his hand to Xiao Hen. “Get some rope and hold her down to check if her teeth are real or fake.”
Xiao Hen: “…”
Xiao Hen had some rope in his spatial storage, but he had used it up earlier. After the incident with He Lin, Xiao Hen had intentionally gathered some more rope and put it in his storage, but he didn’t expect to need it so soon again.
Xiao Hen took out a bundle of rope and handed it to Wen Qingling. Feng Hui was just unlucky. Who asked her to have those serrated teeth that attracted Wen Qingling?
Feng Hui: “…”
What does my teeth have anything to do with you?!
Feng Hui had an instinctive fear of Wen Qingling. She originally wanted to pretend to be the same as before and taunt Wen Qingling a few times, but she didn’t expect Wen Qingling to deviate from his usual behavior. He could ignore her cold words and sarcasm before, so why did he suddenly take action this time and force her to reveal her true form?
Feng Hui turned and tried to escape, but how could Wen Qingling let her get away? She could run and jump, but Wen Qingling could run and jump even better. Feng Hui watched as her escape became impossible and turned towards Feng Yi, shouting, “Brother! Save me!”
Wen Qingling kicked her in mid-air, knocking her down, and stepped on her back, using the rope to tie her up like a wild boar.
Feng Yi clearly hadn’t snapped out of the shock caused by such a major incident. He watched his sister, covered in blood, as he was dragged away by Mo Jing and the others, completely devoid of his own conscious thoughts.
Feng Hui crawled on the ground, shouting loudly, “Brother! Save me!”
Feng Yi looked at her, shaking his head continuously. He knew that his sister was no longer human; she was not his sister anymore.
When Feng Yi regained his senses and went to look for his mother, there was no trace of her. He didn’t know if she had escaped or died. The entire base was in chaos, with everyone running towards the exit, disregarding each other.
Xiao Hen, with Luo Zhi following closely, encountered a few foolish monsters along the way that dared to attack them. Xiao Hen swiftly dealt with them using his zombie-killing techniques, which were particularly effective.
Wen Qingling said, “Keep an eye on her. I’ll go get the weapons.”
Under Wen Qingling’s mental power, everything inside the base was revealed. Tao Yan sneaked and hid in a building near the exit, planning to use the gun on Wen Qingling. In his hands was a brand new automatic rifle, which was the standard equipment for civilized zombies. There was also a box of ammunition beside Tao Yan, all belonging to civilized zombies.
Wen Qingling confirmed that the deaths of the four civilized zombies were directly related to Tao Yan.
Tao Yan crouched at the window, nervously staring at the exit. As soon as Wen Qingling appeared, he would shoot him in the head with the rifle.
With a “crash,” the glass of the French window shattered, startling Tao Yan. He quickly turned around and saw Wen Qingling standing behind him.
Tao Yan: “…”
He quickly aimed the rifle at Wen Qingling, ready to shoot!
The rifle rang, and the bullets hit the opposite wall.
Tao Yan was shocked. He tried to aim the rifle again, but it seemed to have a life of its own, swaying left and right with Wen Qingling’s hand. He couldn’t aim at Wen Qingling no matter what.
Wen Qingling reached out and grabbed the automatic rifle and the box of ammunition from Tao Yan’s arms. He caught them both, one hand holding the rifle and the other hand holding the box of bullets.
Tao Yan let out a roar, and something fell out of his wide-opened mouth. Wen Qingling took a closer look and saw dentures!
After Tao Yan’s roar, without directly confronting Wen Qingling, he didn’t have any fighting spirit due to deep-rooted fear. He could only rely on sneak attacks. Tao Yan turned around, smashing the glass to escape, but it was at that moment that Wen Qingling opened the rifle.
A headshot.
Tao Yan never understood how Wen Qingling, clearly attracted by his fallen dentures, could still hit him with a headshot.
Those without mental power wouldn’t understand what kind of sensation it was. Mental power was far more useful than eyesight. A person only had a pair of eyes, but what about mental power? Wherever mental power reached, it became their “eyes.”
Wen Qingling didn’t look at Tao Yan’s body. He kicked the fallen dentures on the ground and saw the sticky flesh attached to the root of the dentures. It seemed that they weren’t dentures, but real teeth. He then looked at the serrated teeth in Tao Yan’s mouth, and Wen Qingling fell silent.
How old were they that they could still change their teeth on the spot? Who gave them this cheat device? It’s so infuriating!
Wen Qingling jumped down from the broken window, still filled with anger, searching for his next target.
Wen Qingling be frustrated because he can’t do that, changing teeth on the spot
