Chapter 98 Turning Black into White
After a moment's thought, Ma Lin's eyes hardened. "Whether it is or not, we must go and help. If that person is Dr. S, it will show him our sincerity."
The men of Malin nodded in unison and replied, "Yes, lord."
At this moment, Ma Lin noticed that He Xiaoman beside him was staring at the group of corpses over there, her eyes unfocused, as if she was in a daze.
He reached out and pulled He Xiaoman hard. "Stay close to me, or I won't be able to protect you. Don't get distracted at a time like this, it's very dangerous."
"Oh? Okay."
He Xiaoman was pulled back to her senses instantly.
Her gaze swept over Yuka among the corpses again, her eyes filled with complex emotions—shock and doubt, but no trace of guilt.
Why didn't she die?
I clearly saw her fall into a horde of zombies. How could she possibly survive in that situation?
What exactly happened?
Qin Zhuo and his group were fully focused on fighting the zombies when they suddenly saw a group of people join the battle.
At first, they were wary, worried that these people might be enemies who wanted to take advantage of them.
After a while, they realized that these people were just helping to fight the zombies, and their tense nerves relaxed a little.
With the arrival of Ma Lin and others, the battle became even more intense.
A dozen minutes later, with everyone working together, the zombies were finally wiped out, and the battle was over.
Ma Lin had just caught his breath and hadn't even had a chance to relax.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Qin Zhuo unleash a fierce bolt of lightning aimed at He Xiaoman beside him.
Ma Lin reacted quickly, rushing forward and pulling He Xiaoman into a tight embrace.
At the same time, he swung his other hand, and a soil spike appeared out of thin air, flying rapidly toward Qin Zhuo with a sharp gust of wind.
Just as Qin Zhuo was about to make a move to defend himself, he saw Youxiang appear in front of him.
Yu Xiang raised her hands, and a crystal-clear water shield instantly appeared in front of the earth spikes, blocking its attack.
Yu Xiang turned around and looked at Qin Zhuo, her eyes sparkling.
She said expectantly, "Zhuozhuo, I blocked the attack for you. See how amazing I am!"
Qin Zhuo looked at Youxiang's pleading expression and smiled gently.
He gently patted Yuxiang's head. "Hmm, great! You've done a great job again today."
Ma Lin stared at Qin Zhuo with a face full of anger, his voice suddenly rising, carrying a questioning tone.
"What are you doing? Why did you suddenly attack my woman? You dare to lay a hand on my woman, Ma Lin's woman? Are you tired of living?!"
Qin Zhuo remained unmoved, gently pushing Youxiang aside and coldly looking at He Xiaoman, "You're asking her? She knows perfectly well what she did."
Upon hearing this, Ma Lin lowered his head slightly, his gaze gentle yet containing a hint of inquiry, "Xiao Man, do you know them?"
At this moment, Chen Yunfei recognized He Xiaoman and immediately stretched out his hand, pointing his finger directly at her, "So it's you, you ungrateful woman! No wonder Brother Qin suddenly attacked a woman!"
Upon hearing Chen Yunfei's words, Youxiang curiously looked at He Xiaoman and then recognized her.
"So it was you, you wicked woman!"
As she spoke, she even grinned at He Xiaoman, mimicking Mimi's mannerisms.
Mimi, who was leisurely licking her paws after the battle, couldn't help but let out a cry when she saw Yuka's actions.
"Meow!"
Master, don't imitate what I do!
He Xiaoman looked up pitifully, her eyes brimming with tears. She tugged at Ma Lin's sleeve and said, "Lord, do you remember the first time I met you? I was all alone and almost eaten by zombies. You saved me."
Ma Lin suddenly seemed to have his memory triggered, and his eyes softened. "Are they the people you were talking about?"
He Xiaoman nodded vigorously, tears streaming down her face. "Yes, it's them."
Ma Lin released He Xiaoman, gently wiped away her tears, and then suddenly pointed at Qin Zhuo, his eyes filled with anger and disgust.
"So you're the ones Xiaoman was talking about, the ones who pushed her out to block the zombies in order to escape. What you did was absolutely outrageous!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yunfei flew into a rage. He put his hands on his hips and retorted, "Fine, He Xiaoman, you shameless woman! You're turning black into white! You were the one who pushed Xiaoyouzi into the zombie horde, how come it's us who pushed you?"
Yuka chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, you're so shameless."
Ma Lin turned his head slightly to look at He Xiaoman, his eyes filled with a question.
He Xiaoman's eyes were red, and tears kept rolling down her cheeks. She gently tugged at Ma Lin's sleeve, her voice tinged with grievance.
"Lord, you don't believe them, do you? They're obviously in cahoots. How could I possibly push someone into a horde of zombies right under their noses when I'm alone with them?"
"Even if I could do it, once they see it, they could kill me with just a little effort. When I first met the lord, I was the one being chased by zombies. If the lord hadn't saved me, I would have died long ago."
Looking at He Xiaoman, Ma Lin recalled their time spent together, and his heart still leaned towards He Xiaoman. He believed that He Xiaoman was the victim.
Without hesitation, Ma Lin shielded He Xiaoman behind him, saying, "I don't believe you. I believe what Xiaoman said. Don't think you can slander her just because you have more people."
Seeing this, Qiao Yue curled her lips, snorted coldly, and whispered to Qiao Yan, "These men just like this kind of green tea girl. Sooner or later they'll be fooled and lose their lives."
Protected by Ma Lin, He Xiaoman lowered her head silently, a slight smile playing on her lips, a barely perceptible glint in her eyes.
idiot!
She fooled me so easily.
The old man, who had been silently observing everyone, had a sharp gaze that saw through everything.
He happened to see He Xiaoman's slightly upturned lips.
It turns out this woman was lying!
Qin Zhuo's expression was cold and stern. He slowly raised his hand, his fingers curled like tiger claws, and in his palm, a ball of lightning shimmering with a ghostly blue light was slowly gathering. The ball of lightning seemed to contain endless energy and emitted a "buzzing" sound of electricity.
His gaze was fixed on Ma Lin. "Since you are still so stubborn and willing to believe He Xiaoman, this woman who is full of lies, then don't blame me for being impolite."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ball of lightning rushed towards Ma Lin with fierce momentum, and the air crackled and popped wherever it passed.
