Chapter 107 Shan Ran is a murderous demon!

Shan Ran let out a long sigh of relief, shook her head, and shook off the pain.

She clicked her tongue in surprise. So this was how the two brothers, Gavin and Gavino, had been going through this for over a decade. Although they weren't in this kind of pain, they would experience it every month if they didn't take their medication or delayed taking it. It was a continuous and quite uncomfortable situation.

"elder sister!"

Gano, who was dozing lightly to the side, was awakened by Shan Ran's movements. When she saw Shan Ran open her eyes, she excitedly cried out.

He had no idea that there was a superpower that could bring the dead back to life. Because he had never seen it before, he had been living in extreme fear and anxiety these past few days.

Shan Ran remained in a state of death for two days.

She wasn't missing any limbs; her organs and blood contained toxins. Expelling these toxins was much easier than growing an organ out of thin air, so her recovery time was very short.

Two days ago, when Gano woke up, he felt inexplicably light, a feeling he hadn't experienced in over a decade.

He knew the poison had been neutralized.

But he had no time to be happy. He quickly turned his head and saw two corpses lying on the ground.

The two people he least wanted to die in his life now lay dead before him.

Gano nearly collapsed. He hugged his brother tightly, repeatedly checking, trying to communicate, and activating his special ability.

However, he cannot use petrification or invisibility, nor does he have synesthesia.

Gavin really has passed away.

To save him, they gave him the only effective medicine.

For more than a decade, since he gained his memories, Gano had never cried, nor had he ever experienced such intense emotional fluctuations in a short period of time.

He cried uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face.

Fortunately, Shanran was able to wake up.

Having already lost his brother, he couldn't afford to lose Shanran as well.

He wiped away his tears and finally placed Jiawen's body in the freezer in the laboratory on the third floor.

Not knowing when Shan Ran would wake up, he dared not make any rash moves. He tidied up a rest room and then placed Shan Ran on a single bed.

During this time, he killed all the remaining staff on the island.

Killing was something he could do casually in the past, and eliminating all traces of the enemy was a principle that the instructors repeatedly reminded them of.

Unlike Shan Ran, who always had a scale in her heart and would weigh the other party's identity before taking action, only killing when she was sure it was appropriate.

They are different; they are just two convenient tools, without likes or dislikes, without a sense of morality, and capable of killing anyone if needed.

Besides the mountain dyeing.

Before, it was only my brother; now it's only Shanran.

Unlike his brother, Gano didn't have an obsessive yearning for freedom; he simply followed his brother's lead.

Now, his brother has closed his eyes forever in an attempt to save him.

He was bewildered.

Naturally, he placed all his hopes on Shan Ran.

From now on, Shanran will be his everything, his everything. Whatever Shanran says he wants to do, he will do.

Gano stared at the corpse on the bed, his dark eyes tracing her face, her hands, her body.

The corpse was too cold and stiff, with dull skin and grayish-white lips.

He wanted to see the vibrant mountain dyeing.

Like a stone thrown into a bottomless abyss, the emptiness and loneliness that filled his body, leaving him disoriented and wanting nothing more than to kill.

There are only a few security guards left, but there are still many laboratory staff on the lower floors.

However, knowing that there was a great killer inside the building, they dared not approach and all hid, scattering throughout the island.

These past two days have been like a game of hide-and-seek, with Gano finding them one by one.

From their perspective, it really looked like they had seen a ghost.

As for the superhumans imprisoned in the basement, Gano hesitated for a moment but did not move. Instead, he gave them food to keep them alive so they wouldn't starve or die of thirst.

He had tried to figure out what Shan Ran was thinking, and it seemed he was very interested in one of these people.

He didn't know exactly who it was.

If I accidentally kill the wrong person and ruin my sister's plans, she will be unhappy when she wakes up.

Since we don't know, let's just leave it at that for now.

One of the women noticed something was wrong when she saw that the delivery person had changed and was not wearing the same uniform.

"Hey buddy, there was such a commotion upstairs earlier, including the alarm. Did someone break in?"

Gano remained expressionless, his lips curving into a cold, straight line. He put down the food and prepared to leave.

"Hey bro! Hey bro, don't go! You're the intruder, right? You...you save me! I'm very useful. I can let you devour countless crystal cores without being contaminated or in danger. That way, your abilities can be enhanced indefinitely!"

Upon hearing this, Gano paused and stopped.

He remembered that his sister was chatting with others that day and mentioned a potion that could enhance superpowers, and the extractor was also imprisoned in the basement.

Could it be this woman?

Seeing that the boy reacted, Rong Shuyao was extremely anxious and quickly continued, "The laboratory used my blood to create a potion that can enhance superpowers, but the side effects are severe. If... if you rescue me, you can use me directly. There are no side effects, and the effect will be much better!"

With a sob in her voice and her hair disheveled around her ears, Rong Shuyao looked both beautiful and pitiful, her face streaked with tears.

Because she hadn't been there long, she was in much better shape than the others. Plus, her identity as the illegitimate daughter of the Gongyang family, while not exactly glamorous, at least connected her to a top-tier aristocratic family.

Moreover, she wasn't very aggressive, so the people in the lab treated her much better than others, and her meals were quite plentiful every day.

However, being imprisoned in the same place, surrounded by square white walls, would eventually lead to a mental breakdown.

Her originally pale face flushed with excitement, her eyes brimming with affection, and a single tear fell from her eye.

Like a small white flower fallen to the ground by wind and rain, it truly evokes pity.

Rong Shuyao is very aware of her own strengths. In the apocalypse, she was able to build her own team not only because of the uniqueness of her superpowers, but also because of her personality and charm.

Several months ago, she was found by the Ram family, and after the sea route opened, she led her team to the First Continent.

Having suffered setbacks at every turn on the Third Continent, she never expected that her mother was actually a member of the Ram Clan, and even the younger sister of the current clan leader.

During that time, she led her team on a long and arduous journey, and just when she was at her wits' end, the dawn of hope for the Gongyang family arrived.

But the glimmer of hope didn't last long before plunging them into utter darkness.

Gongyang Qing disliked that her purification speed was too slow and inefficient, and that her identity was not suitable for close contact with the Gongyang family. In order to maximize her physical strength, he handed her over to the Solomon family and sent her to the experimental island.

In their social standing, there was no such thing as family affection; only self-interest mattered. Moreover, since her mother betrayed the family, she was easily abandoned.

Even if some researchers felt sorry for her, they couldn't disobey orders from higher-ups to let her go; at most, they would just give her some extra care.

Thinking of this, Rong Shuyao shed tears of genuine emotion.

She didn't cry out loud, but silently shed tears, her voice trembling slightly, her tone aggrieved and pitiful.

She recounted her experiences in fits and starts, interspersed with a few sobs.

If it were a normal person, they would have been moved to pity long ago.

But Gano is not a normal person.

He just found it too noisy.

For some reason, he lifted the corners of his mouth and, imitating Jiawen, forced a smile.

Rong Shuyao's words caught in her throat.

The smile of the man in front of me... is extremely eerie.

Stiff and strange.

Like a puppet that has never smiled before, for the first time, its master forcibly pulled out a smile, forcing it to feign such an expression even though it wasn't smiling.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down her forehead, and a chill ran through her for no apparent reason.

A strong intuition told her that this stranger was more dangerous than anyone she had ever met before.

"Thank you for the meal. If you're not busy, please go ahead and do your work."

Adaptability and flexibility are also important skills of hers.

Gano instantly withdrew his smile and resumed his icy demeanor.

He had originally intended to ask the woman if she knew Shan Ran, but then thought better of it.

My sister might have other plans. Let's wait until she wakes up and then she can come find this woman herself.

He turned around expressionlessly, left the room, and didn't forget to lock the door before leaving.

A lot has happened these past two days, but nothing is more important than Shanran's health.

Fortunately, Shanran woke up two days later.

Gano's anxious heart finally calmed down.

He placed two extra pillows under Shan Ran's back to make it easier for her to sit up halfway.

Although the pain was gone after I woke up, my body was still a bit weak and needed time to recover.

Gano brought water and food, and helped Shanran feed her little by little.

He had taken care of Gavin in the same way when he was seriously injured during a mission, so his actions were quite skilled.

"How is your brother?"

Before Shanran lost consciousness, Jiawen was still alive.

It's possible that because Gavin has had toxins in his body since childhood and has developed drug resistance, he was able to endure it for so long.

Shan Ran was different. After the poison was transferred, a sharp pain suddenly spread throughout her body. It felt like she had been hit on the head and almost fainted.

She didn't last long after that.

It's better to die quickly, then you won't have to suffer for so long.

"I put my brother in the freezer." Gano lowered his eyes, his thick eyelashes covering them, making it impossible to see the deep sorrow in his eyes.

"Sister, can you do me a favor?" Ganuo looked at Shanran cautiously.

"Um?"

"Could you please cremate my brother's body? I want to keep a wisp of his ashes so that he can stay with me forever."

It was a small matter, Shanran nodded.

Upon hearing this, Gano smiled.

Shan Ran was momentarily dazed.

Her younger brother's smile was exactly like her older brother's, and for a moment she felt as if the person standing in front of her was Jiawen.

Wait, why is he laughing?

Has he ever laughed before?

In Shanran's memory, he always had the same expression: expressionless.

After eating and drinking well and having nothing else to do, Shanran took out her phone from her spatial storage.

The moment she took it out, a series of "ding-dong" sounds suddenly erupted, leaving Shanran a little confused, and her phone crashed.

Suddenly, Shanran realized something.

When her body dies, her powers disappear, and the digital information powers cease to function, communication on the island will be restored.

"I was dizzy for several days?"

"Two days."

While the computer was booting up, Shanran asked, "Has there been any activity outside these past two days?"

"Yes, many people wanted to come over, but they were stopped."

"......."

Shan Ran hurriedly turned on her phone, opened the messages, and picked out the most important ones to read.

Before I could read more than a few messages, the phone rang.

As soon as the call connected, Rhine's anxious and panicked voice rang out from the other end: "Ranran! Hello? Is that you, Ranran?"

"It's me, Rhine, I've woken up."

There was a pause on the other end before the person composed themselves and said, "That's great, I'm so glad you're alright. Weren't you unconscious a few days ago?"

Because she was afraid of being eavesdropped on, Rhine only dared to use the word "unconscious," but in fact, both of them knew what it meant.

“Yes,” Shan Ran replied succinctly, “some accident happened, but it’s all over now and will recover soon.”

"That's good, that's good..."

What's the situation outside right now?

Since Gano stayed on the island with her, he certainly didn't know as much about the outside world as Rhine did.

Rhein gave a simple and clear explanation.

To put it bluntly, it exploded.

"It's all blown up outside."

Yamaran: .......

She never expected to hear such an abstract word from Rhine's mouth.

After Shan Ran's death, the signal jamming was lifted, and a distress signal was sent from the island, prompting the outside world to quickly dispatch people to the scene.

But the succulent stopped her.

No matter who the outsiders are, the meat doesn't recognize them and won't allow anyone to get close.

The monsters in the nearby waters were left unchecked. Whenever someone approached, a group of monsters would pounce on them. And when they finally reached the vicinity of the island, there was still a large group of marine creatures with supernatural abilities waiting for them.

It's even more impossible to fly over there. If anyone tries to fly over, Meatball will pierce them all with ice spikes, and they'll fall down to become food for the monster.

Rhine has already rescued Xie Qingheng, but he has been unconscious and hasn't woken up yet.

After Xie Qingheng was rescued, he tried to contact Shan Ran, but couldn't reach her. So he decided to come and check the location.

Unexpectedly, explosive news broke online.

[Executioner Shan Ran! He brutally slaughtered the people of Crocodile Island, sparing not a single one! What kind of demon is this! A murderer! Such a butcher deserves to be killed by everyone!]

Evidence was posted below this post.

Crocodile Island is so big that Shanran didn't have enough time to clean up the mess and destroy all the evidence.

She overlooked some well-hidden cameras containing footage that recorded parts of the island at the time.

In addition to Crocodile Island, there are also images from the laboratory.

Although Dr. Nong's hands and feet were severed, his assistant was among the onlookers at the time.

The assistant sent out a distress signal and secretly took photos of Shan Ran; he was quickly killed by Shan Ran. After the signal was restored, the information was transmitted and received by the Solomon family.

She only disguised herself on Crocodile Island, without wearing a mask. She wore a mask in the laboratory, but her hair color did not change.

By observing the video and photos frame by frame, it is possible to recognize them.

In addition, given that Shan Ran's figure had been spotted in the sea near the ship before, they could conclude that Shan Ran was the culprit behind all of this!

The island is off-limits, and Shan Ran has never shown herself. Who knows if she is dead or in a coma, half-dead?

We must strike while she's weakened; if we don't do it now, when will we ever get another chance?

Unfortunately, the island's location is too dangerous, so we haven't been able to land there for a long time.

Let's just wait it out for now, but the online battle for public opinion must begin.

Seize the high ground in public opinion!

They're good at this!

Not all the powerful families that formed an alliance, such as the Solomon family and the Mikhail family, died on Crocodile Island.

A considerable number of people did not go there. They joined together, and the top families in Districts 1 and 3 also provided assistance. Together, they surrounded the coastline, looking out at the island from afar.

Soon, several more groups arrived at the shore and confronted the alliance of top aristocratic families.

The Yu family and the Lawrence family have arrived.

Some people from the Second Continent who spontaneously organized themselves also came. They were all people who trusted Shan Ran extremely and did not believe the online rumors at all.

However, there are not many people like this. Shan Ran has no foundation in the Second Continent and does not currently have the same appeal as the Third Continent.

Many people are taking a wait-and-see approach and have doubts about this incident.

The photos and videos provided by the top family are so realistic, and she herself has not yet come out to explain, which makes one suspect that she is guilty.

Why did Shanran secretly run off to the Second Continent? She rescued someone at sea, but said she went back to the Third Continent. I think she was on the ship that came from there, right?

[Exactly. A liar like her, spewing lies, has absolutely no credibility. Even the Yu family is on her side, claiming she rescued someone at sea—I don't find that believable at all. Who knows, she might have orchestrated and directed the crisis on that ship.]

[That makes sense. First, harm them, then come out pretending to be a savior; that way, they'll gain support. The way she killed in the video was so practiced, so cold-blooded! She didn't treat them like her own kind at all, killing them like they were monsters. Shouldn't our opponents be monsters? Why kill our own people? She left the entire island utterly devastated; she's a beast!]

She was a rising star who had suddenly emerged, and was inherently opposed to the top aristocratic families. This massacre was clearly an attempt to wipe out the families and take their place.

Why resort to such underhanded tactics? If you're so capable, confront them head-on! Sneaking in and then slaughtering them is truly demonic!

[Don't jump to conclusions, okay? If Shan Ran really wanted to assassinate someone, why would she go to such lengths to rescue people at sea? Wouldn't that alert the enemy? Only an idiot would do something like that!]

Who knows? A feint? I don't understand the tactics of big shots; all I know is that the person ruthlessly slaughtered in the video is Shan Ran.

[Hey, where did this lackey come from, speaking up for your master? Whether before or after the apocalypse, have those powerful families ever treated us ordinary people as human beings? In their eyes, we're just "inferior people," and you're still here speaking up for them? Do you think they'll thank you?]

[It's not that your values ​​are wrong, but let's put it another way. The aristocratic families are arrogant, harsh, and exploitative—that's their problem. But that's not a reason to kill people indiscriminately. After the apocalypse, are we supposed to be unreasonable and lawless? Then what's the difference between our world and the animal kingdom? If we only talk about the survival of the fittest, aren't you afraid you'll get killed by Shan Ran someday?]

I don't believe Shan Ran would kill someone so easily. She must have her reasons. I'm waiting for her response; until then, I don't believe anything!

[A true brainwashed fan, beyond saving, just kill him.]

I have information: Shan Ran is on this island [map image], and she has killed everyone on the island.

[What the heck? She's going to slaughter everyone in her place? This demon, has she gone mad? This is terrifying! People in District 2, be careful, stay far away!]

[Seriously, I have evidence. Look at this [photo JPG]. This is a photo of Shan Ran before she took action. The person on the ground is a doctor. She even killed ordinary medical workers. She's not human.]

The people behind the scenes are not revealed all at once, but rather gradually revealed after public outrage is aroused, continuously increasing people's anger level, which is more effective.

Yu Yuan was so angry he laughed.

Rou Rou sent him off the island and directly ashore. The Yu family rushed over after receiving news of his arrival.

Even if Yu Yuan hadn't sent a message, the Yu family would have come to support Shan Ran. They were already bound together; their fates were intertwined.

Moreover, Yuqiao and Yulu, the siblings, greatly admired and loved her, and without hesitation, they brought people over to help.

Yu Yuan quickly went online to send a message.

Do you know what kind of shady business Crocodile Island is involved in? It's the headquarters of the gladiatorial arena, where countless people have died. Shan Ran was doing the people a favor; the people she killed are the real demons!

[So you're framing the arena because you have nothing else to say? I could also say that Shan Ran was the initiator of the arena, but was discovered and silenced.]

[Slander! This is slander! How could Shan Ran, a powerless and insignificant person, open a gladiatorial arena on the Second Continent?]

[Hey, isn't that the Yu family? The Yu family is a local aristocratic family on the Second Continent that can rival the Mikhail family. Her secret arrival might mean she reached some unspeakable cooperation with the Yu family, and after being exposed, she decided to kill everyone to silence them.]

Seeing that sewage had been inexplicably splashed on the Yu family, Yu Yuan was so angry that his expression twisted and his mouth and nose became crooked. He angrily posted many messages, but they were completely inconspicuous among the frantically refreshed comments.

[This doesn't make sense. If it really was Shan Ran's arena, how could videos and photos have leaked? Shouldn't she have cleaned it all up?]

This is what they call the long arm of the law; though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it. Those who do evil will eventually be exposed. Shan Ran, just wait for your retribution!

[If you're not smart enough, go see a doctor; if you can't use your eyes, donate them! You're all masters of distorting the truth, just taking advantage of the fact that Ranran hasn't come out yet, so you're spouting nonsense here, huh?]

【Let her out! She hasn't woken up for days. Did something happen to her while she was killing someone on the island?】

[Hello everyone! I'm here, just doing a live stream to see how many people are here. There are members of the Solomon family, Mikhail, the Smith family, the Yu family, the Lawrence family, and so on. Let me clarify first, I'm just a nobody. I'm neutral; I'm not taking sides. I'm just here to join the fun. Please don't attack me!]

Immediately afterwards, a live stream post appeared on the forum, attracting a large influx of people.
