Bai Xizhu gestured to Leng Yebai, indicating that he should kick open the door, as their current level was enough to overwhelm the three people inside.
Leng Yebai nodded and kicked the door shut.
With a loud bang, the door crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The three of them instinctively looked into the courtyard.
I was stunned at first glance.
Sunlight shone into the small courtyard, where the iron cages that Bai Yifan had seen before were still there.
The zombies in the cages are still there.
They didn't roar; they just huddled motionless in their cages, shivering from time to time.
A strong smell of blood wafted over, and red blood splattered on the ground of the yard, but it did not drive the zombies in the cages into a frenzy.
In the very center of the courtyard stood a young man exuding a fierce aura.
The young man still had a look of surprise on his face as he stared blankly in the direction of the gate.
His hands were covered in red blood.
Three corpses lay on the ground.
There was a large, gaping hole in the body's chest.
It was clearly pierced directly by the young man's finger.
"Xiao Ming, what are you doing here?"
Bai Xizhu stared blankly at Zhang Yiming, who exuded a fierce aura.
It's rare to see Zhang Yiming, usually so warm and sunny, in such a violent state.
Zhang Yiming subconsciously placed his blood-stained fingers behind his back, his murderous aura instantly dissipating. He lowered his head instinctively, avoiding direct eye contact with Bai Xizhu.
He rubbed his fingers together slightly, trying to hide the corpse on the ground.
"I……"
Zhang Yiming's mouth moved, but he couldn't say anything.
He rubbed his fingers hard against his clothes behind his back, but he couldn't get rid of the strong smell of blood.
Zhang Yiming stood there, awkwardly clenching his fingers and pressing his lips together tightly, like a child who had done something wrong.
He never expected that Xiao Zhu would witness such a scene.
"Why are you acting on behalf of Heaven ahead of time?"
Leng Yebai glanced at the three corpses on the ground and said indifferently,
"We're even planning to do it ourselves!"
Leng Yebai's voice was very calm, as calm as eating or drinking.
It seems that killing is not such a shameful thing.
Zhang Yiming's face remained pale, his eyes fixed on the ground, and he remained silent.
"Xiao Ming, have you also discovered their sale of human survivor crystal cores? Or are they involved in some other shady business?"
Bai Xizhu pretended not to notice Zhang Yiming's awkwardness and ignored his stiff body, deliberately changing the subject.
She can probably understand some of Zhang Yiming's feelings.
He's already suffered enough to become a zombie, so he must care a lot about what others think of him. He's always been kind and gentle, so if people suddenly saw him in such a bloody state, they would definitely think he's cruel.
He was probably afraid that people would see him as a bloodthirsty monster!
"Yes, they're planning to raid the security base," Zhang Yiming said in a low voice.
"Why?"
Bai Xizhu looked at the three corpses on the ground, somewhat puzzled.
The three of them seem to have very high superpowers, especially the cook and the foreman, whose superpower fluctuations are comparable to Bai Xizhu after her breakthrough.
But the safe base also has a powerful base chief, and besides the base chief, there are quite a few other high-level superhumans.
Where does their confidence come from?
"They're planning to poison the water for those crystal cores," Zhang Yiming explained.
Throughout his speech, Zhang Yiming never looked into Bai Xizhu's eyes. Occasionally, he would cautiously raise his eyes to glance at Bai Xizhu, but when she looked back at him, he would immediately lower his gaze again.
Her long eyelashes trembled in the sunlight.
Beautiful, yet fragile.
"Poisoning?"
Bai Anhai frowned deeply as he looked at the three corpses on the ground.
If someone really did poison the safe base, it's possible that just three people could raid it.
But can just these three people really accomplish such a thing?
"Just the three of them?"
Bai Xizhu also felt that it was unlikely that these three people could accomplish it.
"There are others too."
Zhang Yiming rubbed his reddened fingers vigorously on his body and took a piece of paper from the butcher's corpse.
Zhang Yiming half-squatted on the ground, picked up the paper and handed it to Bai Xizhu, trying his best to cover his blood-stained fingers with the paper, but he still did not look directly at Bai Xizhu.
After Bai Xizhu took the white paper, Zhang Yiming quickly withdrew his fingers, stood silently to the side, and put his hands back behind his back.
The white paper was stained with red blood, but the writing on it was still visible.
The drawing above is a rough sketch of the safe base, with areas circled in red. Bai Xizhu noticed that the circled areas were where the survivors lived.
There are other marked locations, which are likely where the poison was placed.
These are the canteens or water storage areas of the security base.
In these places, ordinary people have no chance to poison the food; it can only be done by those guarding the place or those who have the opportunity to enter and tamper with it.
In other words, someone at the security base has been bribed.
They wanted to pull off a big heist together!
It took the survivors in the safe base a full day and night to collect almost all the crystal cores that the zombie horde had dissected.
These crystal cores are all located in the Yunhua Security Base, making it hard not to be tempted.
Everyone understands the saying that people die for wealth, and birds die for food.
Therefore, the security base has always been on guard against people from other security bases coming to steal the crystal cores.
Unexpectedly, some people in the safe base were not satisfied with just collecting crystal cores; they wanted to kill everyone in the safe base!
There are 10,000 to 20,000 survivors at the Yunhua Safe Base!
It is the largest safe base in Shanghai.
There were already few survivors, and yet they wanted to turn against so many of their fellow countrymen who had fought alongside them against the zombies!
It's all for those crystal cores!
Bai Xizhu and the other two were stunned, a chill creeping up from their feet.
"Don't worry, it's alright now," Zhang Yiming said in a low voice.
There was a hint of sadness in Zhang Yiming's eyes.
If he had known Xiao Zhu was coming, he wouldn't have resorted to such bloody methods.
He could usually control the raging emotions raging in his mind, but when it came to Xiao Zhu's safety, his rationality would completely crumble.
He had only one thought in mind: to kill everyone who was against her.
He realized he had overestimated himself; he had thought he could perfectly control himself.
Unexpectedly, he still instinctively used the bloodiest methods to torture his enemy, causing them to die a gruesome death...
Bloodlust and rage are ingrained in their very bones.
He tried his best to suppress and restrain himself, but some of it would always subtly emanate from him.
The lingering smell of blood on my back and hands was like a leech, impossible to dispel.
Zhang Yiming subconsciously took two steps toward the door, wanting to leave, but then abruptly stopped.
