Chapter 242 A Knife Piercing Flesh and Blood

Li Changrui walked to the elevator and watched them deliver various supplies down from the building one trip after another.

When they were collecting supplies, they considered transportation and other issues, so they collected a lot of large trucks and parked them on the first floor. Now, it has become convenient for Yang Wen to run away with the supplies.

He grabbed someone's arm, his voice strained from his throat, "Where's Yang Wen?"

The girl glared at him, turned and left, not bothering to pay him any attention.

In the past, I thought that in order to survive in this base, no matter how much I hated it, I still had to put on a good show and dare not offend anyone.

Now that they've separated and he's about to leave, who would want to treat him well?

Feeling ignored, Li Changrui's face darkened with anger. He yelled at the girl, "I'm asking you a question, are you deaf? Where's Yang Wen?"

The girl turned her head, gave a bitter smile, and said, "I'm not deaf. I not only heard you speak, but I also heard Xiaoli screaming. Did you hear that? How painful her screams were! You threw her naked from the thirteenth floor, and she was eaten by zombies until only bone fragments remained, all because she refused to submit."

Do you remember her? That girl with the almond-shaped eyes, whose boyfriend begged you to let her go, so you killed him and threw them both off the building.

You think you can hide on the thirteenth floor and do whatever you want without anyone knowing? I know, I know everything. Did you hear that? Xiaoli's screams were so painful.

Having his past actions exposed in public, Li Changrui, who had been holding back for a long time, lunged forward, his fist about to strike the girl's face. "You're asking for it!"

The next second, a water ball slammed into his head, and Li Changrui staggered and fell to the ground. The huge impact made him dizzy.

"Yang Wen!"

He got up from the ground, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at her.

Seeing his pathetic state, Yang Wen simply said, "Give me half of the crystal core."

Li Changrui laughed like a ghost, "You wish! I told you, you won't take a single grain of rice. This is my last warning to you."

Yang Wen scoffed, "I'm being lenient by telling you this. Do you think I need to consult you before doing anything given my current strength? I'm already being lenient by leaving you three-eighths of the supplies. If you keep causing trouble, nobody will have a good time."

"Then let's give it a try." Li Changrui shook the water off his hair, turned and left.

Since we're saying no one should have an easy time, then no one should have an easy time.

He found a few superhumans standing on his side and quietly instructed them, "You guys take our people and go up to the tenth floor to hide. Be careful and don't get spotted."

The red-haired man asked, "What do you want to do?"

Li Changrui sneered, "We definitely can't beat them in a fight, so we need to think of another way. Just do as I say, and don't worry about anything else."

The group of people all felt uneasy.

"What solutions can you come up with by yourself? Don't do anything reckless."

"How many years have you two been together? Don't make things too ugly. You might have to ask Yang Wen again to buy the ability enhancement fluid in the future."

Li Changrui scoffed, "Never mind that, just do as I say. Do you really intend to let them move the supplies?"

Unable to do anything else, the group followed his instructions and went to gather their own people.

Yang Wen's people were busy moving supplies, and they were all quite excited at the thought of leaving for the main base with the supplies soon.

So much so that they didn't notice that the group of people who had been standing by, trying to stop them but also afraid that Yang Wen would take action, had disappeared without them noticing.

Seeing the sudden harmonious atmosphere, Yang Wen realized something was wrong.

She went upstairs to look around, trying to see where Li Changrui and the others had gone, and also to find where the crystal core was hidden. As she passed the stairwell, she heard messy footsteps inside.

Yang Wen went inside and listened carefully. The footsteps were going upstairs, getting farther and farther away, and they were deliberately suppressed and furtive.

What are these people doing upstairs?

Yang Wen was still wondering: there were no supplies stored upstairs, so were they really just going to let the supplies be taken away if they went up there?

When did these people become so easy to talk to?

Just then, screams and panicked cries for help came from below.

Yang Wen's heart skipped a beat, and she rushed downstairs, only to see a horde of zombies jostling and pushing as they climbed up the stairs to the second floor.

People who were loading supplies on the first floor were also frantically running to the second floor. Some were too slow and were dragged down by their clothes by zombies. They fell into the zombie horde and were never found.

Some fell to the ground and were trampled on, crushed underfoot and never able to stand up again.

Yang Wen's eyes immediately reddened. She rushed to the stairwell and released waves of water to wash away the horde of zombies that were surging up, giving the people trying to escape some time.

"Quickly, people upstairs, signal for help to the few superhumans at Ye Sheng's base. The rest of you, block the door, run upstairs, and hide."

Located in the city center, this place is teeming with zombies. Now, having broken through their defenses and rushed in, they've been driven mad by the scent of living humans, baring their teeth and claws in a terrifying display.

Many people were terrified and scrambled upstairs. Only a few who were still somewhat rational did what Yang Wen instructed.

Although Yang Wen was a level 5 user, she was not a strong water-type ability user. It was already extremely difficult for her to block the horde of zombies surging up the stairs by herself.

As people frantically fled upwards, Li Changrui quietly appeared behind Yang Wen, and with a watermelon knife, forcefully pierced through Yang Wen's lower back and abdomen.

His face contorted with rage, “You betrayed me. We agreed to build the base together, but you left. It’s all because of you. You deserve this fate.”

The intense pain made Yang Wen's soul tremble. She looked back at her former lover in disbelief, her body falling straight backward.

It hurts, it hurts so much.

My heart aches more than the wound.

At that moment, the image of Li Changrui confessing his love to her in college flashed through her mind. Under the girls' dormitory, the ground was covered with candles, and the two of them were the center of attention.

Yang Wen forced a grim smile. "Do you remember when you told me you would take good care of me for the rest of my life and save the best things for me? But now, you've given me a knife that pierces my flesh."

Li Changrui's bloodshot eyes subsided somewhat. He stood there, looking helplessly at Yang Wen lying on the ground.

As she crashed to the ground, the watermelon knife pierced her body again, leaving a blood-red blade protruding from her abdomen.

With no resistance, the horde of zombies surged toward the two of them.

Li Changrui wanted to escape, but when he saw Yang Wen lying on the ground with broken eyes, he gritted his teeth, closed the stairwell door, and welded it shut with his metal-type ability. He looked helplessly at the person lying in a pool of blood.

He looked flustered and stammered, trying to find excuses for himself, "We promised to stay together forever, so why did you leave? Why did you have to leave? The building won't collapse. Isn't it good that we have so many people under our control?"

"It's all your fault. It's all because of you. You betrayed me, and this is why things turned out this way. If you hadn't left, everything would have been fine. Blame yourself; you brought this on yourself."
