"There really are, there are, there are zombies! It’s Song Wenwen! She really came back!"

Song Kerou looked completely frantic, her fingers trembling as she tried to speak to the Base Commander.

The Base Commander looked at Song Kerou with a cold expression, his voice indifferent as ever, "I’ve looked, there aren’t any."

The Base Commander stood firmly, exuding a sense of authority. People looked from the wildly gesturing Song Kerou to the Base Commander.

The general consensus was that the Base Commander must be right.

But Song Kerou looked pretty adorable too, could it be that the Base Commander was lying?

Seeing the Base Commander’s icy demeanor, Song Kerou immediately understood something.

He was in cahoots with the Song Family, deliberately claiming not to have seen Song Wenwen!

Song Kerou turned and walked towards Zhu Cheng, feeling it was unsafe being too close to the Base Commander.

"Ah— a zombie has come out!"

Just as Song Kerou turned around, she stared in horror at the spot where Zhu Cheng stood, her face turning pale.

She saw Zhu Cheng’s face had transformed into Song Wenwen’s decaying visage, blackened blood and rotten flesh falling piece by piece to the ground, incredibly gruesome.

She could even smell a strong stench!

Instinctively, Song Kerou clamped her hand over her mouth, quickly stepping back two paces.

"Kerou, there’s no zombie here, what’s wrong with you?"

Zhu Cheng looked at Song Kerou, perplexed by her terrified expression directed at him, furrowing his brows, a dreadful guess forming in his mind.

Could it be that Song Kerou was suffering from a mental illness?

Seeing some hallucination, suddenly screaming loudly, mentally unstable...

All of this matching the criteria.

"Y-you don’t come near! Song Wenwen, it was a zombie that bit you back then, there’s a head for every grievance and a debtor for every debt, don’t come near!"

Song Kerou, terrified, refused to look at Zhu Cheng, and turned to run.

But suddenly she stopped in her tracks.

All around her were zombies, all bearing faces identical to Song Wenwen’s.

Song Kerou felt dizzy, the sweet scent around her nostrils intensifying.

The scent suddenly transformed into a stench so overpowering it seemed almost tangible, the air turning grayish.

In Song Kerou’s eyes, she was surrounded by a heap of zombies identical to Song Wenwen, each watching her like a hawk.

Like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Song Kerou was trembling with fear.

She didn’t even know why she was so especially frightened, completely losing any desire to escape.

It was as if her inner fears had been magnified countless times over, but her mental endurance remained as it was.

She was just an ordinary person without any superpowers!

With a thud, Song Kerou sat on the ground, curling up in fear, cautiously watching the "Song Wenwen" surrounding her, terrified they might pounce on her.

"Did you kill Wenwen?"

From the side, Song Ning, who had been watching coldly, suddenly asked, his nails digging tightly into his palm.

Song Ning’s question was exactly what Song Hongfei and Song’s mother wanted to ask. The two of them stared intently at Song Kerou, not missing a single expression on her face.

It was a bitter feeling, having to ask such a question to their adopted daughter, even if she had gone astray, it was still painful to voice this query.

"No, it wasn’t me!" Song Kerou looked in terror at Song Ning, "It definitely wasn’t me, it was the zombies that ate you, how can you blame me!"

In Song Kerou’s eyes, Song Ning still appeared as Song Wenwen.

"Song Wenwen" was walking towards her, mouth agape, its fingers tightly clenched, ready at any moment to turn into sharp claws and drag her into Hell!

"Was it really not you?"

Song Ning didn’t know what Song Kerou was seeing, but he noticed the flowers winding around Bai Xiqin’s wrist.

During the days of treating Bai Xiqin, he had learned that Bai Xiqin was a Wood Ability User, and that Wood Ability Users could control plants.

Hallucinogenic plants were rare, but not non-existent.

The Bai Family was always mysterious, and this seemed to be the handiwork of the Bai Family.

He approached Song Kerou step by step, determined to use this opportunity to discover the truth from the past.

He wanted to know the truth so badly.

"It really wasn’t me, I... didn’t eat you."

Song Kerou shook her head violently, her eyes wide as "Song Wenwen" got ever closer, crawling a few steps along the ground, terrified that "Song Wenwen" might touch her.

Using all fours, covered in dust.

"Song Ning, that’s enough, she’s in this state, stop scaring her, today was just a misunderstanding. If you question her about past events like this, who would remember anything!"

Zhu Cheng frowned at Song Ning’s fierce face, also striding towards Song Kerou, reaching out a hand, intending to help her up.

Even if Song Kerou was mentally unstable, she was a beautiful woman.

All these days, he had invested quite a bit of effort, hoping to catch her favor.

Moreover, Song Kerou always appeared so delicate and defenseless in front of him, how could she possibly harm anyone?

Today’s incident was merely due to Song Kerou’s condition flaring up, making her suspect the Song Family of harboring zombies, she hadn’t done anything else harmful, why bother with these details?

"Get away from me!"

Song Kerou frantically swatted Zhu Cheng’s hand away, her actions turning Zhu Cheng’s fingers reddish.

At the same time, Song Kerou felt an intense pain in her palm.

She looked down at her trembling hand; there was a wound she hadn’t noticed before, red blood slowly seeping out.

Red blood with traces of black blood.

"Ah! Song Wenwen! You’ve finally succeeded! I knew you wouldn’t let me go!"

Song Kerou no longer feared "Song Wenwen" before her, screaming wildly at Zhu Cheng.

She thought she was turning into a zombie.

"Now we’re even! I pushed you once, letting a zombie scratch you, and you scratched me once! Now we’re even!"

Song Kerou’s features were animated with excitement, wishing she could rush over and tear Song Wenwen into pieces.

"So it was you after all!"

Song Ning unhesitatingly unleashed streams of water arrows from his fingertips, the arrows appearing out of nowhere in the hot weather, one after another.

From afar, the many Superpower Users could feel the energy storm emanating from Song Ning, the air becoming noticeably drier.

All summoned by Song Ning.

The water arrows coalesced into a powerful water dragon, rushing straight towards Song Kerou.

Song Ning intended no mercy, he truly wished to kill Song Kerou.

To avenge Song Wenwen.

"Look out!"

Zhu Cheng didn’t fully understand his own motivations, but the image of Song Kerou’s pitiable expression filled his mind, yanking her close, shielding her with his body.

Ready to face death unflinchingly.

The Superpower User squad members watched the scene unfold with eyes wide, feeling that Song Ning had gone too far.

To treat a mentally unstable person like this.

Indeed, in their eyes, Song Kerou was just a mentally unstable person who happened to be attractive.

One moment claiming there were zombies, the next saying she pushed someone.

They didn’t believe there were zombies here, nor that Song Kerou had pushed anyone.

"Alright, let this matter end here!"

A streak of purple lightning suddenly appeared in front of Zhu Cheng, intercepting the water dragon.

The water dragon, formed by the condensation of all Song Ning’s energy, was effortlessly neutralized by the Base Commander with a simple gesture.

"Thank you, thank you, Base Commander!"

Zhu Cheng looked at Song Ning with lingering fear, his heart pounding.

Just moments ago, he could even hear the sound of the water dragon splitting through the air!
