“Radiant Lightning?”
The confrontation between the two was interrupted by Zhao Feng's sudden voice, but Liu You'er knew her identity had been exposed. The only thing left to do now was to kill Liu Xinxuan as quickly as possible.
Beneath Liu Xinxuan, tender green shoots began to emerge.
“Bang bang bang”
The knocking on the door slightly distracted their attention, but neither of them shifted their gaze.
Xinxuan, my parents and I have come to see you~
Li Xiong?!
Listening to the gentle voice from outside, Liu Xinxuan smiled softly and said in a tone only Liu You'er and she could hear, “I don't know how strong you are, but do you think you can kill me without making a sound?”
Of course!
Liu You'er's eyes were filled with mockery, but just as the killing intent surged within her.
“Buzz”
Her body underwent a familiar change again, her mind going blank as reason began to erode...
Is she starting to become a Zombie just because she has killing intent?
If the corpse poison goes out of control this time, what are the chances of recovery... Will she take the gamble?
Chuze's face flashed through her mind.
“Crack”
The door was pushed open, and Li Xiong looked at Liu Xinxuan, who stood there in a daze, her pale face still marked with tear stains, feeling a pang of heartache.
"What if you catch a cold standing there barefoot? Hurry, sit on the sofa; I'll get you some slippers."
Liu Xinxuan watched as the woman in front of her suddenly vanished from sight. She slowly lowered her head, her disheveled hair obscuring her eyes, filled with a hint of jealousy.
"God is really good to you, giving you a perfect family and rare abilities. Hmph, just watch how I will destroy everything bit by bit! Just like before."
Li Xiong noticed the dark aura emanating from Liu Xinxuan, paused for a moment, pretended not to see it, and continued searching for slippers.
"Here, put these on first."
Liu Xinxuan looked at the man kneeling beside her feet to put on her shoes. Her gaze transformed back into a gentle demeanor as she politely but coldly said, "Thank you."
"Chuze, Chuze, Chu..."
Liu You'er only wanted to see that reassuring figure at this moment, but she wondered if she had become too dependent on him.
Thinking this, Liu You'er stopped in her tracks, dazed in place. This was the center of the base, so there weren't many people around. She felt small and somewhat lonely on the street.
Since receiving treatment, human emotions had begun to manifest, but it seemed to have become an obstacle. Should she leave?
One hour later.
"Please treat me."
Chuze turned around and looked at Liu You'er’s slightly reddened pupils without speaking. He gently nodded.
"Will it be okay?"
Liu You'er looked up at Chuze, not voicing the words in her heart, but simply walked closer and leaned into his embrace.
Her remaining time was limited; originally, her life was solely about revenge, but now there was something more...
Yet even so, it was still impossible to change her initial thoughts. After all, the scene on the city wall was too painful.
A week later
"Have you not found anything yet?"
Zhao Commander looked at the photos of the brutally torn apart team members, his expression heavy.
Recently, J City had become unstable again. After the Evolved Plant was eradicated, a high-level mutated Zombie had appeared. This was already the third team sent out to gather information and collect supplies.
Given the situation, this Zombie was at least Eighth Level, making it quite difficult to deal with.
One of the Five Great Generals had died, leaving four remaining. Zhuge and Ling'er were both unable to fight—one lacked Ability while the other had not fully recovered from injuries. Chuze could fight, but he was also the brain of the base. Liu Xinxuan mainly provided support and was not skilled in combat; she had even downgraded not long ago...
However, if this Zombie was not eliminated, the threat it posed to the base would only increase day by day.
Then...
Secretary Qian noticed Zhao Commander's furrowed brow and said, "Commander, I think I have a solution."
After Liu You'er invited Zhao Commander in, she remained silent, drinking water with an indifferent expression.
Zhao Commander looked at Liu You'er’s helplessness and smiled lightly.
I remember when you were a child, you would smile foolishly at anyone. Why have you become so unamusing now that you've grown up?
Liu You'er felt a bit awkward under Zhao Commander's kind smile. She had only learned a few days ago from Chuze that her grandfather and this Zhao Commander had been comrades in arms. Due to work reasons, they rarely kept in touch. After her grandfather passed away when she was only five years old, there was even less contact. However, her father had visited him every year before; she just didn't know...
Not knowing how to respond, Liu You'er forced a smile as if that was an answer.
However, Zhao Feng, the Phoenix Man, managed to enter the base through this connection, clearly relying on his aunt and father's influence. His aunt lost her life, yet he survived—how shameless!
Coughing, Zhao Commander felt even more ignored. Thinking of his family member Zhao Ling, who had never heard him speak, made him feel even more sorrowful, though he had to pretend not to be upset.
You must have heard about the situation in J City. Can you help me investigate...
What's the reward?
...So straightforward?
Yes.
Zhao Commander felt even more frustrated. Just as he was about to speak, Liu You'er interjected.
"Fifty Level Seven Evolvers or Mutants, Core."
"Level Seven?! Fifty?! Zhao Commander nearly spat blood."
Isn't that too much? We should at least... oh no, you should respect your elders.
Liu You'er was startled by Zhao Commander's sudden change in tone and looked at him as if he were a ghost.
You are much better suited for a commanding presence! That pitiful look in your eyes is making me want to vomit...
Of course, such thoughts could never be voiced.
"Alright, forty. No negotiation."
Deal!
Zhao Commander made Liu You'er feel a sharp pain in her heart, knowing that the other party meant no harm and even carried a hint of closeness. Her tendency to be soft rather than hard was fully displayed.
Suddenly, a photo was handed to her. Liu You'er raised an eyebrow and took it, seeing a family of four smiling happily.
"This..."
Liu You'er stared at the photo in disbelief, her eyes wide open.
Haha, this was sent to me by that brat Liu Yuan a while ago. I originally wanted to give it to his daughter, but now I can't find it. Since you two look somewhat alike, I thought I'd give it to you. It's like completing a little wish.
Liu You'er lowered her head, her eyes feeling moist.
By the way, there's someone else with you.
“?”
Liu You'er reluctantly shifted her gaze from the photo to Zhao Commander's beaming face. A sudden realization struck her; it couldn't be...
“Grandpa, why did you call me here?”
“Just as I thought!”
Liu You'er felt a headache listening to that voice, with only one thought in mind.
I actually don't need Core.
But speaking of which, where has Xuan Mo gone?
At this moment,
Xuan Mo looked at the man in front of her, lazily leaning against the doorframe.
"Cooperation? Ha, are you joking?"
"As a trade, I can heal your sister."
Xuan Mo straightened up immediately upon hearing this, completely different from the lazy person he was just moments ago, his eyes flashing with hesitation and doubt.
"W wouldn't genuinely treat her even if he could; he only needs a capable assistant, and you know that very well."
"…"
Xuan Mo stared intently at the other person's calm eyes, his thin lips moving slightly.
"What are your chances?"
"Greater than W's."
"…Alright, it's a deal!"
Chuze looked at Xuan Mo in front of him and adjusted his glasses.
Very good, everything is going according to plan; now we just wait for those behind the scenes to lose their patience…
