Chapter 778 The Fleeting Device



"Who to kill?"

Purple lightning spilled from the base commander's fingertips, and the lightning, like a giant snake, enveloped Zhang Xiaoying.

Zhang Xiaoying couldn't feel the oppressive force, but she could see the terrifying lightning around her with her naked eye. She had a feeling that if her skin came into contact with the lightning, it would immediately become unrecognizable.

"ah!"

Zhang Xiaoying was so frightened that she turned pale and dared not say anything.

Because she could no longer see anyone else, only the surrounding lightning.

The base commander's lips curled slightly as he glanced at his son.

The instant Bai Xizhu was pointed at, purple lightning also overflowed from Leng Yebai's fingertips.

In order to curry favor with his son, the base commander decisively took action to intimidate him.

He had hoped to see gratitude in his son's eyes, but instead he only saw a look of disdain.

His son's expression seemed to say that it was just a threat; at the very least, his arms and legs should have been broken!

Base Commander: ...

He's too much of a saint!

"Everyone, the Bai family is our savior. They killed those bad guys, which allowed us to escape from that human trafficker. We encountered zombies on our way back... It's because we were unlucky, not because of the Bai family. Please don't misunderstand the Bai family anymore."

As Zhang Ping spoke, she glanced in Zhang Xiaoying's direction, her eyes not calm.

When he spoke about returning, he paused slightly.

A hint of struggle flashed in his eyes.

"Zhang Ping! Speak properly!"

Zhang Xiaoying was surrounded by lightning, which trapped her inside, preventing her from getting out. All she could do was give Zhang Ping a warning.

Zhang Ping pursed her thin lips, took a deep breath, and looked at Bai Xizhu solemnly, her eyes gradually becoming firm.

"The reason we encountered a horde of zombies on our way back was because Xiaoying insisted on getting out of the car halfway to find clean water to wash up. When the zombies attacked, she also insisted on closing the car door and not letting anyone else get back in... So, only the two of us made it back."

When Zhang Ping spoke, she stood a little distance away from Village Chief Zhang, and her body was trembling uncontrollably.

Village Chief Zhang is the most powerful superhuman in the village; once she utters a word, the village can no longer tolerate her.

The nearest safe base is quite a distance away; even as a metal-type ability user, she couldn't get there on her own.

"shut up!"

Village Chief Zhang looked at Zhang Ping with a gloomy expression, his eyes revealing a fierce intent.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, she's conspiring with outsiders to harm us!"

Zhang Xiaoying, in a shrill voice, wished she could throw Zhang Ping out of the village.

She should have pushed Zhang Ping away in the first place and let herself return to the village alone!

The villagers stared blankly at Zhang Ping.

His eyes were filled with astonishment.

There were many girls who were arrested that time, and they all had some kind of complicated relationship with each other.

Those girls who died were more or less related to them, or were their close relatives.

Everyone knows Zhang Ping's character well; nine times out of ten, what she says is true.

Anger and resentment rose in everyone's heart.

But then it sank down silently.

The dead are dead, but the living must go on.

Zhang Xiaoying's father is the village chief. Village Chief Zhang protects the safety of the village. If it weren't for the village chief, the village would have disappeared long ago.

By then, they will also die.

The villagers fell silent and did not voice any condemnation of Zhang Xiaoying.

But once Zhang Ping said those words, she knew she couldn't stay in the village any longer.

“Xiaoping, you can’t say things like that. This family has nothing to do with the deaths of the girls in our village, but they also have nothing to do with my Xiaoying.”

Village Chief Zhang wore a faint smile, as composed and serene as ever.

The gloomy look on my face just now seems to have been an illusion.

"Xiaoping, you must be mistaken! The zombie horde was so terrifying, it's already quite impressive that you managed to run back alone."

"That's what a villager said."

The other villagers looked at the village chief, then at the Bai family, and spoke up as well.

"This is your benefactor. We all misremembered, but it's not necessarily Xiaoying's fault. I think it's our child's bad luck. This damn apocalypse!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The villagers quickly made the "right" choice.

No matter how much she resented the village chief's daughter, she could only swallow her anger.

"Ha, you guys are really generous for your daughter!"

The base commander twitched his fingers slightly, and the lightning that had been enveloping Zhang Xiaoying instantly struck the surrounding area.

Lightning struck the ground erratically, instantly turning the yellow earth black.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, lightning struck the villagers and Zhang Xiaoying.

They weren't injured, but the feeling of being electrocuted was unpleasant; everyone huddled together in pain, enduring the shocks from the lightning.

I couldn't even speak.

The base commander was never a good person; he was vindictive and held grudges.

He only appears to be a good person because he found his son. In reality, he would retaliate against bad people in a way that is even worse than what they do.

This retaliation was relatively mild, because the base commander didn't want to resort to such violence, given that his daughter-in-law was present.

It's easy for a daughter-in-law to think that anyone with the surname Leng has violent tendencies.

The base commander wanted to pretend to come from a scholarly family, hoping to get another daughter-in-law for his family sooner.

"This is boring, let's go!"

Bai Anhai stood on the steps without getting out of the car. He moved his mouth slightly, swallowed the ginseng, and looked slightly regretful.
