The End of the World: Oh No! The Zombie Slipped into the Crowd

The apocalypse arrived, and Lin Xi unexpectedly turned into a conscious zombie.

From then on, she embarked on a journey to find her family alongside superpowered companions.

When encoun...

Chapter 196 Next-Door Neighbor

But didn't they already complete their mission? That's why they were able to return to the military region.

So what brings you here this time?

Or is this mission ongoing and never-ending?

What else can a psychic ability user do besides attack?

Yin was on the second floor. The middle-aged man opposite him had his hands locked with special iron chains, and his body was also tied to the stool with an iron chain. His eyes were unfocused, like a mindless puppet being manipulated.

Brother Xie led a large group of people upstairs, seemingly very familiar with the place.

He walked up to Yin and bowed very respectfully, "Sir."

Yin nodded. "Xie Er, I'm leaving this person to you."

Xie Er looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, whose face was numb and whose eyes were lifeless.

"It wasn't just last time..."

"Who knows? They started causing trouble again last night." Yin Man casually twirled the ring on her thumb. "It's not your fault. He was already a level seven ability user a year ago. As for me, I shouldn't have underestimated him."

Xie Er nodded and, together with the group of psychic ability users behind him, activated their abilities.

Group hypnosis.

Of course, not all psychic ability users can do this. They only found five or six people with this ability among the twenty-odd psychic ability users.

Yin stood on the balcony, gazing at the distant scenery.

More than half an hour passed.

Brother Xie finally came out from inside. "Sir, this is the end of the day. That person looks very weak. If this continues, I'm afraid..."

She hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Yin naturally knew what she wanted to say, nodded and smiled, "Alright, you can all rest today, we'll continue tomorrow."

After he turned around, he suddenly seemed to remember something and looked back at Xie Erge, "That girl from your third team is downstairs right now, go and check on her."

“The third sister is still young. If she says anything disrespectful, please punish her, sir.”

Yin was taken aback. Hearing the first half of the sentence, he thought Xie Er was going to plead for Lao San.

Xie Erge sighed, "When I was in the military region, I didn't keep a close eye on her, which led to her behaving inappropriately. I estimate she'll offend quite a few people here."

"It's alright, she's still young, she'll gradually learn the rules," Yin said with a nonchalant smile.

Brother Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the gentleman can say that, it means that the third brother's unruly behavior is nothing in his eyes.

"Then I'll take my leave." With that, Brother Xie led the group downstairs.

Lin Xi was sitting in the corner, idly tugging at the leaves of a tree next to her.

My mind went blank; I had no idea where my thoughts had wandered off to.

"Oh, I never thought our lawless third brother could have a bad mood."

Lin Xi snapped out of her daze and saw that it was Xie Erge, so she casually asked, "Why were you in such a hurry just now? What were you doing?"

"I can't tell you about this, it's important." Second Brother Xie sat down next to her, looking at the little tree next to them with a regretful expression. "Look, you've plucked a whole patch of it bald."

"Was this the same thing you did when you left the military region last time?"

"You guessed pretty accurately!" Xie Erge couldn't help but look at her with new eyes. This little girl who only knew how to fight and was competitive actually had some brains.

"Where's Qiao Ning?" Lin Xi glanced behind her, but didn't see her.

That's really strange.

Didn't Second Brother Xie usually take Qiao Ning with him wherever he went?

Why are you acting so strangely today?

Where is Qiao Ning?

"Sigh, what can I say? Sun Shang is too young to keep an eye on those old foxes like Xiao Liu. I had no choice but to reluctantly let Qiao Ning stay as the temporary commander."

Is it really that serious?

She remembered that after Liu Ge was scolded by him, didn't he change a lot?

At least they didn't continue to fight against Sun Shangxiang.

Brother Xie seemed to realize that he hadn't explained things clearly earlier, and continued to explain, "This time, Xiao Liu and the others didn't cause any trouble. Sun Shang resigned on his own, saying that he was tired of this job and couldn't take on this important responsibility. This young man has probably been put through a lot by them."

No wonder.

She nodded. "Exactly! Only someone as awesome and badass as me can keep them in check!"

Second Brother Xie: ...

"Alright, I told you to watch your step, why are you still acting like this?"

Lin Xi didn't like hearing that. "Who's stupid!"

"Come on, I'll take you to see it." Second Brother Xie stood up and dusted himself off.

Lin Xi raised an eyebrow.

It seems Brother Xie has been here quite a few times, otherwise why would he so readily offer to show her around?

"Second Brother Xie, do you come to this little villa often?"

"It started about a year ago."

"A year ago?" So, Yin returned a year ago?

Lin Xi confirmed again, "Is our husband the governor's son? But when I was out there, I heard that he only came back not long ago."

Xie Erge said, "Since the zombie outbreak, the gentleman stayed here for a while, and then went out. He secretly returned a year ago without telling anyone. However, one day when he went out, he was recognized, so people outside started saying that the gentleman had only recently returned."

"So that's why he rarely shows himself." Lin Xi realized. So the lawless lightning-type ability user she encountered in the G City safe zone was very likely someone trained by Yin?

Otherwise, how could he possibly see Silver's face in his memory?

That makes sense.

Although his ability level wasn't high when they met him, it was still a lightning-type ability. They definitely wanted to nurture such a talent.

Lin Xi looked at Xie Erge and blinked, but she didn't move an inch. "I'm still very curious, what is it that requires you to come here so many times, sir?"

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Actually, I only have a vague understanding myself." After saying that, Xie Erge grabbed her arm and lifted her up. "Also, don't try to change the subject."

Lin Xi was caught off guard and was pulled up, her mind still reeling.

"Come on, let's not talk about such depressing things. Let's go for a walk and clear our heads."

At night, the door next to Lin Xi's apartment was still tightly closed, but tonight it was noticeably quieter.

It's strange, the neighbors in this room have never shown up.

Could it be someone with a very special identity? Like a trump card?

Lin Xi pressed her ear against the wall to make sure there was no movement before burying herself under the covers.

One day, she'll pry open this door and see who's inside.
