Chapter 309, It turns out
It was impossible for him to just stand by and watch an ordinary person die. The moment the girl fell off the high wall, Pei Xiao caught her and placed her safely on the ground.
Hearing the chaotic footsteps and shouts around him, he turned to leave, but the girl grabbed his sleeve tightly and said urgently: "Please save me! I don't want to die!"
Hmm? She's not Shi Yuji's mistress? She doesn't want to die... Could she be an enemy of the Shi family imprisoned in the garden? But why is Shi Yuji keeping her enemy in the garden instead of throwing him into the dungeon? What's Shi Yuji planning?
Or, are there other unknown secrets?
Without time to think too much, Pei Xiao pulled the girl up and said in a deep voice, "Follow me."
He was not familiar with the terrain of Shi's family, but fortunately his ability level was much higher than that of the patrolling psychics, so he easily avoided the pursuers. He took the girls over the high wall and left.
…
After hearing the assistant's report, Shi Yuji frowned and swept the teacup beside him to the ground without waiting for the assistant to finish speaking.
The assistant fell silent.
The man stood up and walked around the study twice, sneering: "With so many people, you can't even determine who took that woman away. What's the point of me supporting you?!"
Feng Ting did not eat the youngest daughter of the Zhang family whom he captured, but kept her in his own house. Now, the woman dug a hole under the wooden house and ran away over the wall.
The assistant lowered his head in shame: "Boss, that person is very familiar with the surveillance layout in the manor, and just avoided the surveillance viewing area..."
"Don't give me so many excuses!" Shi Yuji said angrily, "Now that the person has escaped, think carefully about how to clean up the mess next!"
Once that woman returns to Zhang's house alive, within one night, the entire base, no, all bases, will know that he has raised a zombie in the garden.
By then, he'd be a rat crossing the street, everyone shouting at him. What grand plans and revenge would he even have? How could he even have the chance to build a world that belonged only to the Shi family?!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and murderous intent gradually emerged in the man's eyes as he looked at his assistant.
Sensing his murderous intent, the assistant's heart skipped a beat and he quickly said, "Boss, I have a solution!"
Shi Yuji loosened her clenched fist slightly and squinted her eyes: "What?"
"Even if that woman escapes, where can she, an ordinary person, go? In the end, she will still return to the Zhang family. Boss, we just need to make sure that the Zhang family never speaks out before she returns and the news spreads."
"You mean... to eradicate the Zhang family?" This is what he has wanted to do for a long time, but the current strength of the Zhaoyang base and the Shi family does not allow him to do so.
"Boss, now that we have that benefactor, we must use him whenever possible. I've read the information. At the beginning of the apocalypse, Si Xu of the Xiling base killed all the powerful members of the Yu family—" He gestured to wipe his neck, paused for a moment, and continued, "In the end, no one was held accountable, didn't they?"
Those who would have held accountable are dead, so who else would care whether you live or die?
Shi Yuji supported the desk with one hand, frowning in thought.
Right now, this seems to be the only feasible method.
They didn't know where the woman had gone, nor did they know when she would return to the Zhang family. In order to keep the secret in the garden, he had to act preemptively.
"Is Mr. Feng back?" The zombie has been out for a day and a night, why hasn't he come back yet?
No way...was he chopped by Si Xu?
Thinking of this, Shi Yuji suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
If that zombie really died, would his end also come?
When Shi Yuji was distracted, a confidant knocked on the door and replied: "Boss, Mr. Feng is back."
His heart instantly returned to its place. Shi Yuji calmly wiped the cold sweat from his palms on the corner of his clothes and said to his assistant: "I'm going to talk to Mr. Feng. You come with me."
Seeing that he accepted his proposal, the assistant felt relieved and hurriedly followed him out.
…
Mr. Zombie was very angry when he came back and found that the food he had stored in the cabin was missing.
He decided to go out to find food. When he went out, he kicked the wall. Half of the wall shook and then the whole cabin collapsed.
Feng stopped: "..."
Amidst the dust, he heard footsteps approaching hurriedly. He turned stiffly and looked at the head of the Shi family, preemptively asking, "You, actually let me live in such a shabby house?"
The villain complained first, without mentioning that he was the one who kicked the wooden house down.
Seeing the wooden house collapsed into a pile of waste wood, Shi Yuji panicked: "Sorry, sir, I will arrange new accommodation for you immediately!"
Feng Ting was satisfied and said: "I don't need a new place to live. Just build one for me."
“Yes, yes!”
"What's the matter with you coming to see me?"
"It's like this..."
After hearing Shi Yuji's words, Feng Ting's pale eyes turned: "You want me to kill all the people in that family?"
Shi Yuji lowered his head: "Yes."
Feng Ting did not refuse: "Okay, but I'm hungry now and need food."
Shi Yuji glanced at the trembling assistant and cursed in a low voice: "Didn't you hear what Mr. Feng said? Go and prepare food for him!"
Without waiting for the assistant to reply, the zombie stared at him and said nonchalantly, "No need to look for him, let's just pick him."
His eyes were fixed on the assistant, and his meaning was clear.
Having guessed this would happen long ago, Shi Yuji bowed decisively: "Enjoy your meal, sir."
He ignored his assistant's stunned look and turned to walk out of the garden.
"Wait, wait! Boss! No! Boss!" Suddenly coming to his senses and realizing what kind of outcome awaited him, the assistant subconsciously wanted to chase after his boss, "Boss, you can't do this! Boss! Help—Aaaaaaa!"
Hearing screams behind him, Shi Yuji quickened his pace, took two steps at a time, stepped out of the garden, and slammed the garden gate with his backhand.
He leaned his back against the door, his legs shaking uncontrollably. After a long time, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
…
Only after the screams in the garden disappeared did Shi Yuzhi return to his study with peace of mind.
Feng Ting agreed to help him solve the Zhang family's troubles, and the next things can continue to proceed according to plan.
I just don’t know whether Feng Ting killed Si Xu and Jiang Ran and got the virus vaccine when he went out this time.
…
After Chu Yuan got the news from Si Xu, he went to find Pei Xiao to confirm it immediately, but he met Pei Xiao and... a strange girl who came to visit at the door of the apartment.
"You're here? It just so happens that I'm going to look for you for something."
Chu Yuan looked at the girl for a few seconds and let them into the house.
"I have something to ask of you, too."
After pouring water for the two of them, Chu Yuan sat down opposite Pei Xiao and said, "Speak."
"I brought this girl back from the Zhaoyang base. She gave me some very important information, and I need time to verify it, so I want her to stay with you for the time being."
"Live here?" He only had two rooms, one of which was where Si Xu Jiangran had lived.
"Well, if it's kept in the Pei family, Shi Yuji will find out sooner or later."
"Is the information she gave you related to the Shi family?"
Pei Xiao nodded slightly.
"If you want to verify, do you have to go to Zhaoyang Base?"
"Well, what?"
"It just so happens that I have something here that I need your help to investigate—it's related to the Shi family."
"Okay." Without asking what it was, Pei Xiao said, "I'll go to the Zhaoyang base again tomorrow. Please give me the content of the investigation later."
When she heard that he was going to the Zhaoyang base, the girl who had been cowering in silence suddenly spoke up in a trembling voice: "Don't go! There really are man-eating zombies in the Zhaoyang base! Believe me!"
