Xiang Bei had always felt her name was unlucky; she was truly cursed. She was walking on the street when she was hit by a car running a red light. To her surprise, she woke up to find herself trapp...
Chapter 67 These villains couldn't possibly return alive...
Sheng Hui glanced at him but ignored him.
He tried to attack her, but she just dodged and didn't even fight back.
Is dumping food on someone else's head some kind of glorious thing to do? Thinking back to how she often went hungry, Sheng Hui just felt that this person was wasting food.
But the person wouldn't let it go, and stood up directly in front of Sheng Hui, saying, "Because of you, my food was spilled. Shouldn't you compensate me?"
Sheng Hui found it somewhat amusing to look at the other person's unreasonable behavior. "It's because you tried to bump into me, but instead of hitting me, you knocked over your own food. Your food is on the ground. If you want to eat it, just lie down and eat it. Nobody's stopping you."
If Xiang Bei hadn't reminded her, this person would have actually bumped into her. His plan was quite clever; he wanted to deliberately knock over her food so she wouldn't have anything to eat.
I never expected my food to be spilled.
The food at the base is rationed. People with superpowers do eat better than ordinary people, and the portions are slightly larger, but that doesn't mean they can eat as much as they want.
Without food, one can only go hungry.
The other person looked at her, making no attempt to hide the malice in their eyes.
Sheng Hui didn't bother with it. Superpowered individuals couldn't fight each other at will, at least not in the base or in front of everyone. The one who started the fight would be punished.
She bet that the other party wouldn't dare use their superpowers to attack her, except to glare at her.
This feud is now set in stone, and who knows what might happen once we leave the base?
Although the man didn't make a move, he still mocked, "She's just a woman who makes a living off dogs. It's a pity she has such a pretty face."
Sheng Hui smirked, "A man who's not even as good as a dog has the nerve to mock others."
"You bitch, who are you calling a slut?"
"Whoever agrees, I'll say it."
"Fine, fine, you just wait."
After saying that, the man quickly left the cafeteria.
"We'll talk about the future later," Sheng Hui said, carrying her and Dahei's portions of food and finding an empty seat to sit down.
"Lei Tao is gone." Ye Shuangshuang walked over at some point.
"Who is Lei Tao?" Sheng Hui asked, puzzled.
"It's that one from just now." Ye Shuangshuang pointed, and the food on the ground had already been cleaned up.
Big Black eats without a care in the world; after all, it's an animal and doesn't understand the complexities of human life.
Seeing that Sheng Hui could eat so carefree, Ye Shuangshuang couldn't eat anything at all. "Aren't you going to ask who Lei Tao is?"
After swallowing the food in her mouth, Sheng Hui looked at Ye Shuangshuang and, under her gaze, asked in a calm tone, "Who is Lei Tao?"
Ye Shuangshuang sighed, "Lei Tao's sister is the woman of our base's deputy leader, a level five fire-type ability user."
"so what?"
“Lei Tao won’t let any of the ordinary women in our base who are pretty go unnoticed.” Ye Shuangshuang said, her gaze fixed on Sheng Hui’s face.
She is truly beautiful, and she is not a superhuman. If she were, Lei Tao would not dare to target her.
Otherwise, even the deputy leader couldn't protect him. If Lei Tao succeeds in taking advantage of all the superhumans, it's hard to guarantee that the other superhumans won't be dissatisfied with the base.
For ordinary people, Lei Tao wouldn't have so many concerns. Even if one or two superhumans spoke up for him, most of them would be indifferent to the matter.
Ye Shuangshuang sighed. As a low-level ability user like herself, she would be warned not to meddle in other people's business if she spoke up for others.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid," Sheng Hui said.
Her purpose in coming to Base 3 was to find her parents. If they weren't here, she would leave and go to the next base to look for them.
As for who Lei Tao is, that's none of her business.
If he really doesn't know what's good for him and causes her trouble, she won't be polite.
She didn't think she couldn't beat Lei Tao. Even if she couldn't, there was still Dahei and Sisi.
When they were close, she could sense that Lei Tao's ability was all bark and no bite, and that his strength was quite ordinary. She was confident that she could take down Lei Tao if they really fought.
At worst, she would shamelessly ask Xiang Bei for help, determined not to let Lei Tao bully her.
Seeing Ye Shuangshuang sighing, Sheng Hui picked up a piece of chicken from the plate and gave it to her.
"Oh my, what are you doing to me?" Ye Shuangshuang looked at Sheng Hui in surprise.
"Don't sigh. Thank you for caring about me. Here, have a piece of meat."
"No, I was just reminding you. If he had actually made a move just now, I wouldn't have dared to step in either," Ye Shuangshuang said, blushing. She felt unworthy of the warning.
She didn't dare to gamble. In the past, there were people with superpowers who stood up for ordinary people. Ye Shuangshuang had a good friend whose superpower was very strong.
The base calmed her down immediately. Later, after she went on a mission with Lei Tao and the others, she never came back. It was said that she was surrounded by zombies and couldn't escape.
Ye Shuangshuang felt that wasn't the case, but no one went back to care about what happened outside the base; whatever the survivors said was taken as gospel.
Are we really going to risk our lives to investigate the case?
But Ye Shuangshuang felt that her best friend's death was inextricably linked to Lei Tao and his gang. She had personally heard Lei Tao and his gang say things like, "Let her meddle in other people's business, she should also experience what we're capable of."
Speaking of this, Ye Shuangshuang felt even more embarrassed. She wasn't as fearless as Sheng Hui, and she couldn't even confirm whether her good friend had been killed by a zombie.
She tried to return the chicken, forcing a smile. "You'd better be careful. They'll definitely come looking for you again, and they might even send you out on a mission."
Once you leave, you can never come back.
Just like her best friend.
Sheng Hui stopped her outstretched hand, saying, "No need, you eat. By the way, I wanted to ask you something."
Ye Shuangshuang smiled and said, "What is it? Tell me, I'll definitely tell you what I know."
Do you know all the superhumans in our base?
"I know them, but those high-level ability users, I know them, but they don't know me."
Are there any couples with superpowers in that base?
"Yes." Ye Shuangshuang nodded.
Sheng Hui pressed for details and found that couples who are both superpowered are very young, which doesn't match the age of her parents.
She inquired about the names of other superhumans; some had the surname Sheng, and others had the surname Qin, but none of them were her parents.
Are they your relatives?
Sheng Hui nodded without saying anything more.
Ye Shuangshuang sighed, "That's good, you can still find your relatives."
While Sheng Hui was eating, since there were no superhumans among them, she decided to go and check out the ordinary people.
In the base, ordinary people without superpowers are assigned to work, and their living quarters are some distance away from those of people with superpowers.
Because Dahei is around, no one has assigned Sheng Hui any tasks yet.
However, because she is so special, people often come to look at her, and Lei Tao's harsh words last time also made many people afraid to approach her, let alone speak to her.
The ordinary people didn't know what was going on in the cafeteria; it was only because Sheng Hui suddenly appeared that everyone looked at her curiously.
Sheng Hui didn't care about those stares; she even went over to help with the work.
Big Black followed behind her, bouncing along.
Seeing that she volunteered to do the work, the superhuman who usually assigned tasks to ordinary people looked much better and gave her a relatively easy job.
Sheng Hui did a very serious job.
Compared to those with superpowers, these ordinary people looked terrible, but at least the base provided them with a place to stay, preventing them from having to go out and face zombies.
While ordinary people can defeat low-level zombies, the chances of a group of ordinary people surviving a group of zombies are slim.
When Sheng Hui is working, she will observe her surroundings, hoping to see her parents among these people.
But seeing that everyone was not doing well, she suddenly didn't want her parents to be here.
This conflicted state of mind didn't last long before the base manager approached Sheng Hui.
"Your mission has been assigned. You need to take the superpowered dog and go out with the superpowered team to carry out a mission," the person in charge said.
Sheng Hui immediately thought of what Ye Shuangshuang had said. Lei Tao was really quick to act; he was already trying to make a move against her.
After thinking about it for a while, he still asked with confusion, "Didn't you say I should wait a bit and help raise some mutated animals? Why are you on a mission so soon?"
"That's only acceptable if you have the means. The base doesn't keep useless people. If you want food and drink, you have to work." The other person's words were very impolite.
Even when she looked at Sheng Hui, there was a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
Sheng Hui didn't say much, "We really can't just eat and drink for free. When are we leaving? Just me and Dahei?"
The person in charge felt that Sheng Hui's first sentence seemed to have a hidden meaning, but he didn't think much of it.
It's just a pity; such a rare talent has come along. It's her own fault for being so blind and offending someone she shouldn't have.
It was her fate.
Ye Shuangshuang was surprised to hear that Sheng Hui was going on a mission, but there was nothing she could do but give Sheng Hui a few fruits.
"It must have been Lei Tao who did it. You have to be careful. Once you leave the base, run if you can, and don't ever come back to Base Three again."
"Thank you." Sheng Hui accepted the fruit, without responding to Ye Shuangshuang's words.
This mission was very urgent; we had to leave soon, so I gave her some time to come back and pack her things.
She will definitely come back again; she wants to find her parents.
Ye Shuangshuang turned her head and said a few more words to Dahei, probably instructing Dahei to run away with Shenghui, but Dahei was not very willing to talk to her.
Sheng Hui took her things and went to meet up with the superpowered team. She wasn't surprised to see that the leader this time was Lei Tao.
I had long suspected that he was behind this mission.
Lei Tao, chewing on a toothpick, leaned against the back of the jeep and looked at Sheng Hui with a nonchalant air. "Our team doesn't usually take women, but one of our brothers got injured and can't go out to carry out this mission. I heard your dog is really good, so let us brothers see just how good it is."
Sheng Hui held Da Hei without saying a word.
"What are you standing there for? Come up and sit down," Lei Tao invited.
Five people could have fit in the jeep; there were two seats in the front and three in the back. But now Lei Tao's legs were dangling there.
He slapped his thigh, gesturing for Sheng Hui to sit down, a lewd smile playing on his lips.
He did it on purpose. If Sheng Hui was unhappy, he would have a reason to lash out and accuse her of not cooperating with the superpowered team's actions.
Sheng Hui didn't move, but just stared at Lei Tao.
The big black dog in his arms lunged forward and almost bit Lei Tao's genitals, scaring him into shrinking to the side.
After realizing what had happened, Lei Tao immediately flew into a rage, "You bastard, how dare you mess with your grandpa!"
Lei Tao, a fire-type ability user, immediately grabbed a fireball and hurled it at Da Hei. Unexpectedly, Da Hei's claws directly shattered his fireball.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment. Those who had been laughing with Lei Tao suddenly froze on their faces.
Lei Tao has a brother-in-law who is the deputy leader of the base, and he has an inexhaustible supply of crystal cores, so his superpower has been upgraded to level six. Unexpectedly, his level six fire superpower was easily broken by a beast.
"Big Black, come back." Sheng Hui called out, and Big Black jumped back and circled around Sheng Hui's feet.
"Aren't we leaving yet?" Sheng Hui asked.
This is the main gate of the base. There's no clear indication yet that her parents aren't here, and she doesn't want to make things too ugly.
Lei Tao's eyes were glazed over. He sat up straight, pushing his brothers aside and making room for him. Sheng Hui carried Da Hei into the car and sat next to Lei Tao.
Dahei stared at Lei Tao and barked at him twice, but Lei Tao just turned his head, touched Dahei's forehead, and gave a stiff smile. "Be good, don't bark."
The others stared at Lei Tao as if they'd seen a ghost.
"Aren't we on a mission? Why aren't we leaving yet?" Sheng Hui asked.
The driver ignored Sheng Hui and looked at Lei Tao instead.
"Let's go, don't waste any more time, we need to carry out our mission," Lei Tao said expressionlessly.
The others found it strange, but didn't think much of it.
This wasn't the first time they'd done something like this; they were quite skilled at it. It's just that Brother Tao's attitude was a bit strange today.
However, it's also possible that they've come up with a new way to play.
Once we're out of the base, let's see how they deal with this woman with the dog.
The dog's superpowers aren't hers. We'll find a way to get rid of the dog and see what kind of protective abilities this woman has left.
Looking at Sheng Hui's profile, the others also had some wild thoughts. This woman is really beautiful. No one in the base, whether ordinary or with superpowers, is as beautiful as her.
They like women with strong personalities; they find them exciting to have fun with.
Even the fiercest woman becomes docile after sleeping with her once.
The man on Lei Tao's other side had a blade of grass in his mouth, his eyes lewdly sizing up Sheng Hui.
Unexpectedly, Lei Tao suddenly turned his head and stared straight at him, making him feel uneasy.
"Tao, Brother Tao."
Lei Tao raised his hand and slapped him across the face, saying, "If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out."
The man quickly smiled apologetically, thinking that Lei Tao was probably angry because he hadn't succeeded yet and felt that Lei Tao had his eye on his woman. He covered his cheeks, not daring to get angry, and could only carefully smile and say nice things.
He felt a bite on his waist, but he didn't pay much attention to it. It couldn't possibly be a mosquito. In this post-apocalyptic world, mosquitoes have mutated. They couldn't possibly not know if a mosquito got into the car.
Sheng Hui moved her wrist, and the silk threads crawled back, wrapping around her hand like a green bracelet. If you looked closely, you could see red veins on the green leaves.
Sisi is a mutated plant. When its tentacles poked that person and got some blood on them, it did have some effect on Sisi. Its leaves even started to wilt.
Lei Tao remained sitting quietly, though his expression was somewhat wooden.
The person who was poked by the tiny tentacles didn't feel anything, and even felt quite good about themselves.
The car was still moving forward. Sheng Hui looked down and stroked Da Hei's head, or looked out the window at the scene.
Finally, she simply closed her eyes.
Lei Tao suddenly woke up and looked at the scene rushing past the car window. He was a little shocked. He was just at the entrance of the base. Where was he now?
Turning my head, I saw Sheng Hui sitting there quietly, her eyes closed, probably resting.
Her profile alone is so beautiful that it's impossible not to be captivated.
Because of the filthy thoughts in his mind, Lei Tao completely forgot about why he had suddenly set off, and he boldly moved closer to Sheng Hui.
Sheng Hui had her eyes closed, which made it easier for her to investigate. Lei Tao was sitting next to her, so she naturally knew that he was shamelessly moving closer to her.
She could easily sense the situation around her and knew the strength of the four people in the car.
Lei Tao is the strongest, but Da Hei can handle him. The other three are level five ability users. Sheng Hui can control Lei Tao, a level six ability user, so controlling a level five ability user is naturally no problem for her.
She was just unsure if she could control so many level-five ability users.
Sisi hasn't been exposed yet, so she still has leverage.
If you can't control everyone, control two people and make them kill each other.
Sensing Lei Tao's ill intentions, Sheng Hui suddenly opened her eyes and leaned back. The car window was shattered from the outside by a force, and shards of glass grazed Sheng Hui before hitting Lei Tao directly in the face.
In just a moment, Lei Tao's scream of agony, clutching his cheek, was heard.
The car suddenly stopped, and the other three people quickly surrounded him. "Brother Tao, are you alright?"
"Have we encountered zombies?" Someone had already picked up their weapon.
"Impossible, we can see the whole place from one end to the other, where would the zombies come from?"
But that force was too mysterious, and it only appeared once.
The passenger in the front seat got out of the car to check, but found nothing unusual.
Lei Tao was injured; shards of glass were embedded in his cheek. If he hadn't tilted his head, two pieces of glass would have pierced his eyes.
"Let's get out of here first," Lei Tao said, covering his bleeding cheek.
He suspected that other superhumans had attacked them, since the car window was broken from the outside.
The enemy is now in the shadows, while they are in the open; the situation is very unfavorable for them.
The car sped away, and no one chased after it, but this sudden turn of events left them in a bad mood.
They found an abandoned house and went inside. Earth-type and metal-type users were responsible for reinforcing the house to prevent any danger at night.
Another person helped Lei Tao remove the shards of glass from his face. They hadn't brought a first-aid kit this time, so they pulled them out by hand, which caused Lei Tao's face to contort in pain.
After pulling out the glass shards and barely stopping the bleeding, Lei Tao looked at Sheng Hui with a sinister gaze. "You suddenly leaned back just now, did you see someone attack you?"
"I was too scared at the time and didn't have time to tell you to hide."
Seeing Lei Tao's beaming face, Sheng Hui said, "I'm so sorry."
Sheng Hui's tone was too calm. In front of these people, she was too lazy to pretend to be weak. Anyway, these villains would not be able to go back alive.
Lei Tao didn't catch that; all he wanted to do now was kill whoever had attacked them. He looked at Sheng Hui with a sinister gaze and asked, "Who was the one who launched the sneak attack?"
"I didn't see it."
Lei Tao asked many times, but Sheng Hui kept repeating the same two sentences: she didn't know and hadn't seen it.
Lei Tao looked at her, his expression quite unpleasant.
If it weren't for this woman, he wouldn't have gotten hurt.
Let's see how he deals with her later.
