Chapter 655 Come and Kill Someone

Gu Zijing and Pei Yi chatted for a while before heading back, though neither of them looked too happy.

That evening, after dinner, Ling Ran went back to her room early.

She sat on the bed and whispered, "God said to send me to the murderer who killed Qiao Yunshu."

The next second, the person in the spot was gone.

...

Southern Province Base.

Slum area.

It was pitch black at this time.

Few lights were on in the shantytown, but the streetlights around the area were still on. Although it was called a shantytown, it was actually a densely packed area of ​​small houses.

Each house doesn't look very big, only about 20 or 30 square meters.

Several years have passed, and the Southern Province base has become completely unfamiliar.

Ling Ran looked at the small house beside her. The light was still on, or rather, it was a candle. The door was closed, and the window reflected light, with a dark shadow of a flame.

Without thinking twice, she kicked the door open. The woman inside was startled and looked at Ling Ran with suspicion: "Who...who are you?"

Ling Ran gave a kind smile: "Do you know Qiao Yunshu?"

The woman's pupils contracted slightly, and she immediately shook her head: "I don't know you, I don't know what you're talking about."

Ling Ran sized up the woman in front of her.

She was sitting on a low stool with a white candle burning on the small table and a ball of yarn on the floor, indicating that she had just been knitting.

"It's okay if you don't recognize it, just let me see."

The woman was startled, and before she could scream and run away, her gaze suddenly went blank.

Ling Ran narrowed her eyes.

They quickly found memories of Qiao Yunshu in the woman's memories.

The woman's name was Sun Wenyue. She was Qiao Yunshu's roommate in college. Because of the school scholarship, Qiao Yunshu was awarded the scholarship but Sun Wenyue was not, which made Sun Wenyue resentful.

After the apocalypse, she struggled to survive and later met Qiao Yunshu, who took advantage of her unpreparedness and pushed her into a horde of zombies.

Ling Ran, after reviewing the memories: That's it?

Everyone says that people in the cultivation world are ruthless, killing and robbing. I never imagined that in this world with a sound legal system, someone would be harmed over a scholarship. Sun Wenyue's ruthlessness is no better than that of people in the cultivation world.

However, Sun Wenyue was lucky to survive and even made it to the Southern Province Base, which has a very good welfare system.

Ling Ran couldn't remember the name of the base commander in that southern province base, but she just found it in Sun Wenyue's memory.

The Jianghuai region.

The base seemed quite disorganized before, but now it looks like there's been some improvement.

After Ling Ran stopped searching the soul, she cleanly and efficiently dealt with Sun Wenyue. Of course, in doing so, she made sure Sun Wenyue died knowing why.

"I'm here to avenge Qiao Yunshu."

The next second, before Sun Wenyue could even plead for mercy, she stopped breathing.

Ling Ran's figure disappeared and then reappeared in the sky.

Looking at the drastically changed Southern Province base, Ling Ran flew around for a while, observed it, and was about to leave when a voice suddenly came: "Is that you, sir?"

Ling Ran glanced around, found a spot to land, and looked at the man in front of her who was wearing a gray casual outfit and no shoes: "Jiang Huaizhi?"

"Does Your Excellency still remember me?"

Jiang Huaizhi was somewhat pleased.

He truly hadn't expected to see Ling Ran again: "Why are you alone, sir? Is there something you need at the Southern Province base? If you need any help, I can assist you."

"Nothing much, I just came to kill someone, and I've already done it," she said calmly.

"Oh," he replied casually.

For a moment, the two fell silent.

Jiang Huaizhi spoke up again: "Then, sir, would you like to have a late-night snack this time? There's plenty of fresh seafood at the base, and a chef who's an expert at cooking seafood. The taste is absolutely amazing."

"Hmm...that's a good option."

So Ling Ran followed Jiang Huaizhi to the duplex villa where he lived.

The villa was very quiet, with all the furniture and decor in cool colors, making it look like a show home, devoid of any human presence.

After making a phone call, Jiang Huaizhi said to Ling Ran, "I've already given the order, and the chef will be able to finish preparing it and send it over soon."

Ling Ran responded, looked around Jiang Huaizhi's residence, and asked, "The Southern Province base has changed a lot since I first arrived."

"I still have to thank you, sir, for helping the Southern Province base during the most difficult time; otherwise, it wouldn't have developed so smoothly later on."

"No problem."

Ling Ran nodded and didn't say anything more.

Jiang Huaizhi couldn't help but ask, "Sir, which base are you currently residing in?"

"No fixed abode, just wandering around, going everywhere."

"As expected of the Master. I heard many stories about the Master's deeds from other bases afterward." Jiang Huaizhi praised upon hearing this. Indeed, this was in line with the Master's character.

He had originally intended to invite the adults to settle down, but now it seemed pointless to say so.

A short while later, people arrived at the villa.

Five people brought over dishes, including not only seafood but also other dishes.

Jiang Huaizhi took a bottle of cola from the refrigerator: "Sir, would you like some?"

"Can."

The two chatted like old friends, eating and talking about everything in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Ling Ran didn't go back until after 2 a.m.

Jiang Huaizhi looked at the mess on the table, the person in front of him had disappeared, and suddenly felt a little dazed, as if everything that had just happened was his own illusion.

He raised his cup and offered it to Ling Ran, who had just been sitting there: "To my lord."

...

Rainbow Base.

Ling Ran remained completely silent from the moment she left until her return, and no one knew what was happening.

She was lying in bed, about to fall asleep, when she heard a commotion outside, and then she saw a light coming on outside the window.

The lights in the main room came on, indicating that Gu Zijing and the others had been woken up.

Ling Ran walked into the main room and saw that Pei Yi had already gone out to ask about the situation. Chen Le yawned and said, "So late, is it a zombie horde?"

"Probably." Pei Xiu, caught up with him, also yawned.

Before a minute had passed, Pei Yi returned, still bundled up in his down jacket: "It's not a zombie horde. They say an eighth-tier mutated beast has arrived outside, along with about ten fifth- or sixth-tier mutated beasts. The base is now under martial law, and all ability users above level four must go out to prepare for battle."

"Then what are you waiting for? Get dressed!"

Although they don't have to obey Rainbow Base's orders, as fellow humans, they always help each other out in such situations.

Ling Ran had just finished eating seafood and was quite full, so she simply changed her clothes and went along too.

Upon arriving at the base's city gate, one finds many superhumans already standing on the city walls, the lights illuminating the area as if it were daytime.

Many people were rushing to the door, but the ground was too slippery, and they slipped and fell on their bottoms.

Wei Jing was just about to climb the city wall when he saw Ling Ran and her group. He excitedly ran over and asked, "My lord, what brings you here?"

As he spoke, he exhaled a puff of hot air.

"Come and take a look."

"Alright." Wei Jing said with a smile, "My lord, then come with us to the city wall."

With Wei Jing and the others leading the way, the group finally found a spot to stand on the city wall.

At the foot of the city gate, leading the group was an eighth-tier mutated lion beast, about three meters tall and over three meters long. It was majestic and imposing, with sharp lion eyes that seemed to speak volumes. Even though it was in a low position, it looked down on the people above it with disdain.
