She struggled to get up from the ground, covering her broken wrist, and staggered backwards.

The tall man who had been silent all this time took a deep look at Sister Hong who was still rolling on the ground, then turned to Li Xinhu.

Without any hesitation, he walked silently behind Li Xinhu.

Su Wan watched the farce end with cold eyes.

Xiao Han had already opened the SUV door for her, but she didn't move.

It was as if my feet had taken root and were firmly fixed in place.

This woman tried to kill them time and time again.

Can't stay any longer.

She must die.

This thought exploded in Su Wan's mind like thunder.

kill?

she?

A chill ran up her spine, causing her to shiver.

But this is the end of the world.

Either you die or I die.

Su Wan clenched her hands at her sides suddenly, her nails digging deeply into her palms, and the stinging sensation made her sober up a little.

That’s right, Sister Hong must die.

Inside the car, Lu Shiyan was still lazily leaning on the seat, he didn't even lift his eyelids.

The next second, a dark green vine shot out from the car window.

quick!

So fast that people don’t have time to react!

The vines precisely wrapped around Sister Hong's neck and tightened suddenly.

"Uh... huh..."

Sister Hong's eyes instantly widened like dead fish, her eyeballs bulged out and were covered with bloodshot due to lack of oxygen and fear.

She scratched her neck with her hands, her throat made a hoarse sound like a broken bellows, and her face turned purple at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Sister Hong!" Li Xinhu woke up as if from a dream and subconsciously wanted to rush forward.

A big hand grabbed his arm tightly.

It's the tall man.

"Don't worry about her! It was her! She was the one who pushed Xiaomei into the zombie group!"

Li Xinhu froze, as if struck by a bolt of lightning.

He turned his head in disbelief to look at the tall man, then looked at Sister Hong who was struggling dying under the vines. The blood color on his face instantly drained away.

Xiaomei...

The vines tightened.

“Crack.”

There was a slight sound of bone cracking.

Sister Hong’s struggle came to an abrupt end.

Her body drooped limply and her head tilted weakly to one side.

Dead.

Li Xinhu seemed to have lost all his strength and hung his head dejectedly.

Sister Hong is dead.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the silent SUV, his voice dry and hoarse.

"Can I...can we...follow you?"

He pointed at himself and then at the tall man next to him.

“Please!”

Su got into the car at night without answering. Xiao Han looked at Lu Shiyan and A'mo with a blank expression.

"Get in the car." Lu Shiyan's voice came out.

Su Wan didn't expect him to agree. She thought he would refuse.

"That wall is really high. It looks almost the same as the last time I came here, just creepy." Su Wan muttered softly as he stared at the base wall that was getting closer and closer.

The smell of blood seemed to still be at her nose, and she unconsciously rubbed towards Lu Shiyan.

She reached out her finger quietly and touched his arm.

"It's okay. It's dry and hard. It's a scab and there's no bleeding anymore." She judged in her mind.

Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

"We're here." Xiao Han's voice came from the driver's seat.

The speed of the off-road vehicle slowed down significantly, and finally stopped at the end of a convoy that seemed to have no end.

The team moved slowly.

The inspection at the entrance seemed much stricter than the last time Su Wan and his friends came.

The guards, armed with live ammunition, had cold expressions and directed the crowd and vehicles with decisive movements.

There was a sense of anxiety and depression in the air.

Li Xinhu and the tall man also poked their heads out from the back seat, nervously looking at the central base in front of them that existed like a beacon in the apocalypse.

The walls are majestic, but they also exude a coldness that keeps people away.

"My goodness, this is much more serious than last time!"

"That's right, brother. Let me tell you, a few days ago I saw with my own eyes a group of people who were disobedient and wanted to rush through the checkpoint. Guess what happened?"

"What's wrong?"

"Bang, bang, bang! After a few rounds of bullets, everything was left there! The blood was all over the floor, and the man was stiff when he was dragged away!"

"Hiss - so cruel? The zombies have been acting like crazy lately, everywhere. How can the base not be nervous?"

The discussions coming from the team next to us were neither loud nor quiet, and just happened to float into the car.

Li Xinhu and the tall man's faces instantly became uglier, and their muscles tensed.

Su Wan remained calm, took out a shiny crystal core from her pocket, and handed it to Lu Shiyan. "Here, take it."

He raised his eyelids and took it. The cold and hard touch made his brows move almost imperceptibly.

"You keep it." He said in a low voice.

"If you run into someone who is blind, use this to fill the gaps between the teeth of some 'watchdogs' and stop them from barking."

It's finally their turn.

The people in the queue next to them craned their necks.

"Wow, this car looks pretty powerful. I wonder who the big shot is inside?" A man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks muttered in a low voice.

"Looking at that aura, he's probably not someone you'd want to mess with. Maybe we can avoid some trouble, unlike us, who will be skinned alive!" Another weather-beaten-faced woman smacked her lips enviously.

As a result, the inspection was surprisingly fast!

The guards were like blind men, they just glanced into the car symbolically without even lifting their butts.

The scarred captain who looked ferocious, fierce and wanted to skin people alive is nowhere to be seen!

Then, he waved his hand as if to shoo away a fly.

"Go in!"

The people in the queue next to them who were waiting to be searched had their eyes popped out of their heads and their jaws dropped.

"What the hell? Is this the end?"

"Really? We were turned upside down just now, and even the soles of our shoes were pried open!"

"Who on earth is in this car? Why is he so prominent? Could he be a relative of a high-ranking official at the base?"

The discussion was buzzing with disbelief and jealousy.

The car slowly drove into the base.

"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Han looked at Su Wan and Lu Shiyan in the rearview mirror, his brows twisted so tightly that they could kill a fly. "I thought they would be skinned alive, or at least they would hint at us to 'show some respect'! And they let us go now? The sun is rising from the west?"

Lu Shiyan leaned back in his chair, eyes closed, his voice was cold, like ice chips in the coldest days of winter: "Too smooth is not a good thing. There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary."

The base was bustling with people, with makeshift stalls lining both sides of the street and the sounds of hawking coming from all directions.

The pedestrians on the road had different expressions. Some walked hurriedly with their heads down, some gathered in groups of three or five and made loud noises, and there were patrol officers in uniform walking among them from time to time.

The off-road vehicle attracted countless prying eyes. Su Wan felt those greedy or vigilant looks and ignored them calmly.

"We've arrived at Area A." A'mo pointed to the old gray-black apartment building in front.

As soon as the car stopped, a group of ragged, skinny children rushed out from the shadows of the street corner. They circled around the car like starving stray dogs, with fear and desire in their eyes.

"New here! Is there anything to eat? Give me some!"

"Please, just one bite will do!"

Xiao Han frowned, leaned his head out of the car window, glared with cold eyes, as if he wanted to eat someone.

The bunch of little kids screamed in fear and instantly disappeared into the winding alley.

"I'm finally back." Su Wan pushed the door open and entered the two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, putting her backpack on the ground.

A'mo and Xiao Han immediately began to check the room, and nodded after making sure there was nothing unusual.

Li Xinhu and the tall man stood at the door, unsure whether they should come in.

Li Xinhu and the tall man named Li Kui were still standing at the door like two wooden stakes, rubbing their hands, not daring to take a step inside.

"Come in, why are you standing there like a door god? Do you want to feed mosquitoes outside?" Su Wan glanced at them and said unhappily, "Stay here tonight, I'll find a place for you to stay tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Li Xinhu was so excited that he almost kowtowed to Su Wan on the spot. His waist was bent like a cooked shrimp, and his voice was trembling: "Oh! Thank you! Thank you Miss Su! Miss Su, you are really a living Bodhisattva! We brothers have caused you trouble!"

The tall Li Kui also nodded vigorously, his lips trembling, unable to utter a word, but his eyes suddenly turned red, as if he had received a great favor.
