Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!
Chapter 615:
What a delicious smell!
Gurgle gurgle—
Several superpower users rubbed their stomachs, struggling to swallow their saliva, greedily taking a deep breath, inhaling the rich aroma.
"Uncle Song, the Base Commander will be here soon. You really should consider surrendering the zombie!"
Zhu Cheng stepped forward, gently knocked on the door, trying to peek inside through the crack.
He saw nothing, but the smell of mutton became much stronger.
Tears of frustration flowed from his mouth instantly.
It’s been a long time since he had meat. Since helping Song Kerou rent the villa, he hasn’t even had enough steamed buns to eat, let alone meat.
Zhu Cheng leaned against the door, and apart from the sound of music, there was also the sound of slurping.
Zhu Cheng silently stood up straight and stepped back.
"Kerou, are you sure you really saw a zombie?"
Zhu Cheng touched his nose and asked Song Kerou again.
He somehow felt that the Song Family was happily having a mutton hot pot.
"I told you, it’s true. That zombie is their daughter, Song Wenwen! We must consider the safety of the base and definitely need to extract the crystal core from her brain!"
Song Kerou’s face was full of righteousness, but the calculation in her eyes was evident.
Zhu Cheng looked at the tightly closed door, always feeling that the Song Family was not opening the door to prevent everyone from joining their hot pot meal.
"Don’t let your guard down. If the Zombie King or one of its friends rushes out, our safety base will be doomed!"
Song Kerou glanced at the superpower user team members taking deep breaths, reminding them with resentment.
Avoiding accidentally letting Song Wenwen escape.
If Bai Xiqin could be mistakenly killed, even better!
Thinking of this, Song Kerou’s face twisted.
"Kerou, are you really okay?"
Looking at Song Kerou’s twisted face, Zhu Cheng asked again.
He always felt that Song Kerou wasn’t quite normal today, somewhat like... a lunatic.
"Nothing’s wrong with me!" Song Kerou ignored Zhu Cheng, her eyes suddenly lighting up as she shouted loudly, "The Base Commander is here!"
The powerful Base Commander would surely kill Song Wenwen.
Everyone felt relieved as soon as they heard the words "The Base Commander is here," completely letting down their guard... taking deep breaths, inhaling the rich aroma of the mutton.
The Base Commander, as always, wore a stern expression, showing no emotion.
"I heard there’s a Zombie King here?"
The Base Commander’s voice was cold and detached, purely businesslike.
He exuded an aura of righteousness.
With him around, there’s nothing to fear from zombies.
He was the stabilizing force of the Yunhua Safety Base.
"Yes! Base Commander, it’s inside! And Brother Leng was kidnapped by them too, I’m so worried about him!"
The roaring Song Kerou disappeared, instantly transforming into an overly anxious beauty.
"Open the door!"
The Base Commander showed very little expression, standing at the villa entrance, his voice as cold as the ice and snow of winter, devoid of any warmth.
This voice made Song Kerou utterly convinced that Song Wenwen was finished.
The Base Commander was the leader of the Yunhua Safety Base. He could certainly outlast the Zombie King and never played favorites.
No one commanded more respect than him in the safety base.
With a click, the door opened.
It was Song Hongfei who opened the door.
"Base Commander, what brings you here?"
Song Hongfei wore a faint smile, showing no particular panic nor excessive flattery.
"I heard you’re harboring a zombie and are involved with the Zombie King?"
The Base Commander’s demeanor was consistently glacial, free of personal bias.
"How is that possible! No matter how capable I am, I can’t smuggle zombies into the safety base! Who’s slandering my family?"
Upon hearing the Base Commander’s words, Song Hongfei furrowed his brows, his stern gaze sweeping over the crowd.
His demeanor was intimidating and justifiably indignant.
As if everyone wrongly accused him.
"What’s going on? Who said there’s a zombie inside?" The Base Commander’s gaze landed on Song Kerou. "You, where’s the zombie?"
"In that room, there’s a zombie in that room, and it’s Song Hongfei’s daughter!"
Song Kerou pointed with a vicious expression at a door inside the living room from the outside.
She had completely disregarded the Song Family as her own family, even calling Mr. Song, who raised her for so many years, by name.
"Kerou, what nonsense are you spouting? Last time, Song Ning and I risked our lives to get you back to the base safely. You didn’t even send anyone to rescue us, let alone start slandering us now?" Song Hongfei looked at Song Kerou sternly. "We’re deeply disappointed in you for doing this. Starting today, we’re severing our adoption relationship with you. Take care of yourself."
Song Hongfei spoke without an ounce of guilt, standing tall with a stern face.
No one thought Song Hongfei was lying.
Because he exuded an aura of honesty and sincerity.
"Fine, let’s sever it! I refuse to acknowledge zombies as my parents! Last time, I escaped on my own, you didn’t save me!"
Song Kerou glanced disdainfully inside the house, and she fully understood her position.
Even if Song Wenwen turned into a zombie, she was still unrivaled by her.
In that case, the Song Family could all go to hell!
"Base Commander, that zombie Song Wenwen is inside! And her accomplice Bai Xiqin, kill them both!"
Song Kerou glanced at Bai Xiqin, who was eating mutton in the living room, a trace of madness flashing in her eyes.
Bai Xiqin looked at Song Kerou’s ferocious face and slightly raised an eyebrow, half-smiling.
Successfully making Song Kerou’s face even more twisted.
"I need to see for myself if there’s a zombie inside."
The Base Commander’s brow barely furrowed, still asking Song Hongfei coldly,
"May I enter now?"
"Of course, I have a clear conscience!"
Song Hongfei answered confidently.
After all, Wenwen was brought back by the Base Commander, what did he have to be afraid of?
The superpower users watched the Base Commander’s upright back, looked at Song Hongfei’s calm expression, then at Song Kerou’s crazed demeanor, and had their answers.
It was probably just a case of a girl being envious, leading to slander, wasn’t it?
In the living room, the Base Commander, full of righteousness, passed by his son and daughter-in-law who were making hot pot and calmly walked towards the innermost room.
With a click, he opened the door.
Inside the room, a zombie in a blue dress stared directly into his eyes.
The Base Commander saw with his own eyes, a zombie with a face full of rotting flesh, its mouth almost reaching its ears, black liquid oozing from its face.
The decaying head tilted slightly, offering him a twisted smile.
The rotten fingers raised and waved at him.
He saw with his own eyes, a piece of rotting flesh flying off those decayed fingers.
Almost landing on his shiny leather shoes!
The Base Commander calmly swallowed his saliva.
Goddamn, he remembered Song Hongfei’s daughter was just a regular zombie, when did she learn to smile and greet people?
Too creepy!
The Base Commander completely missed seeing his daughter-in-law Bai Xiqin lifting her hand in the living room at that moment.
Snap!
The Base Commander closed the door, calmly walking towards the outside.
"There are no zombies in there, spreading rumors will get you expelled from the safety base!"
The Base Commander coldly glanced at everyone, "If you’re so idle, why not go collect supplies!"
"Impossible! Song Wenwen is right inside!"
Song Kerou’s eyes widened, could Song Wenwen be hidden?
Thinking of this, Song Kerou rushed towards the room, directly pushing the door open.
She saw Song Wenwen, with a face full of rotting flesh, grinning at her.
"Ah!"
Song Kerou screamed loudly, suddenly running outside, the unexpected fright causing her to almost miss the rich aroma.
She inhaled quite a bit of the pollen from the Mutated Mandala Flower.
