Chapter 46 My sister is dead
How could such a clumsy lie possibly fool Qiao Yan?
The next second, Qiao Yan's fingertips twitched slightly, and green light quietly gathered and grew in her palm, instantly transforming into a tough, green vine whip, which she held tightly in her hand.
Qiao Yan's voice was icy cold, every word carrying a sense of oppression, "You'd better tell me the truth."
Pan Zihao shuddered at the sight of the rattan whip, but still clinging to a sliver of hope, he shouted, his voice trembling with fear, "We're telling the truth!"
"Is that so?" Qiao Yan's lips curled into a cold smile. "You seem so guilty. You must have met my sister. Tell me! Did you do something to wrong her?"
As she spoke, her gaze swept over the two of them.
Suddenly, her gaze settled on the ambiguous red mark on Chen Ya's neck, and then she noticed several clear scratch marks on Pan Zihao's neck.
"Snap!" The rattan whip lashed out with a whooshing sound, deftly wrapping around Pan Zihao's neck, its force gradually tightening.
"You betrayed my sister," Qiao Yan's voice was terrifyingly calm, "You got together with Chen Ya, didn't you?"
The cold vine whip pressed against his skin, causing Pan Zihao to tremble uncontrollably, his face as pale as paper.
Chen Ya, who was standing to the side, suddenly collapsed to the ground, her legs giving way.
"No...it wasn't me! It was her! It was Chen Ya who seduced me!" In order to save his life, Pan Zihao immediately shifted all the blame.
"I didn't betray Qiao Yue on purpose! It's all her fault! She took the initiative! Qiao Yan, if you want to kill her, kill her! It has nothing to do with me!"
"Pan Zihao! You despicable and shameless scoundrel!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ya, who was sprawled on the ground, instantly erupted, forgetting her fear, and screamed, "You actually betrayed me after using me! Qiao Yan, don't listen to his nonsense! Pan Zihao pushed Qiao Yue down the stairs with his own hands! There were zombies all over the place downstairs! It was him! He killed your sister!"
"What?!"
"Push him downstairs..."
"It's a disaster..."
These words struck Qiao Yan's heart like a thunderbolt!
She looked up abruptly, her eyes instantly turning bloodshot, her eye sockets slightly reddening from extreme anger and grief.
"You...you actually...killed my sister..." Qiao Yan's voice was hoarse beyond recognition, "You deserve to die!!!"
Just then.
"Qiao Yan!"
Chen Yunfei finally arrived at the supermarket entrance, panting heavily. He immediately saw the tense scene inside and was horrified. He hurriedly shouted out.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Qiao Yan subconsciously turned to look at Chen Yunfei at the door. The bloodshot in her eyes faded slightly, replaced by a hint of clarity.
It was that momentary lapse in concentration!
A sinister glint flashed in Pan Zihao's eyes. Taking advantage of the moment when Qiao Yan turned her head, he pulled out a sharp fruit knife from somewhere and stabbed at Qiao Yan with all his might!
"Watch out!" Chen Yunfei shouted a warning, but it was too late to rush over!
At the critical moment, Qiao Yan almost instinctively dodged to the side!
"Sizzle—"
The blade sliced through her sleeve.
Qiao Yan raised her foot and kicked Pan Zihao in the chest quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly!
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, Pan Zihao flew out and crashed heavily into the shelf behind him, making a loud clattering sound.
Before he could get up, Qiao Yan flicked her wrist, and the rattan whip in her hand instantly wrapped around Pan Zihao's neck, then twisted it forcefully!
"Snap!"
A clear cracking sound rang out, and Pan Zihao's head tilted to one side at an eerie angle, his eyes wide open, before he quickly lost his breath.
"ah--!!!"
Witnessing Pan Zihao's tragic state, Chen Ya, who was lying on the ground, let out a heart-wrenching scream.
The scream was particularly jarring in the quiet street!
Qiao Yan frowned sharply. "Chen Yunfei, let's go! The zombies are being attracted here!"
Without even glancing at Chen Ya on the ground, she grabbed Chen Yunfei, who was still in a daze, and turned to run out of the supermarket.
"No...don't leave me!"
Seeing this, Chen Ya disregarded her fear and scrambled to her feet, desperately following behind the two.
Qiao Yan and Chen Yunfei ran at an extremely fast speed, their movements agile.
Chen Ya's physical strength was far inferior to the two of them, and in just a short while, she was left far behind, and they could hardly be seen anymore.
"Wait...wait for me..." Chen Ya's shrill cries rang out weakly behind her, filled with desperate sobs.
Not long after, Chen Ya's miserable scream came from behind, obviously she had been caught up by the horde of zombies that followed the sound and met with misfortune.
Qiao Yan heard the scream but did not turn around.
She did not believe that her sister's death had nothing to do with her.
Qiao Yan and Chen Yunfei deliberately circled the streets a few times, shaking off most of the zombies.
For the few who kept pursuing them, Qiao Yan dealt with them directly with a rattan whip, and Chen Yunfei cooperated in clearing them out.
After confirming that it was temporarily safe, the two ran back towards the parked car and quickly returned to it.
Chen Yunfei opened the car door and sat in the front seat, panting heavily from exhaustion.
Qin Zhuo scanned the two of them.
"What happened? Why do you look so disheveled?"
Chen Yunfei wiped the sweat from his forehead. "It's nothing serious, Brother Qin! We just ran into a few clueless zombies who chased us for a little while, but we've taken care of them!"
Qiao Yan sat silently in the back seat, her face pale, her clothes still covered in dust and traces of the fight, and her expression somewhat forlorn.
Chen Yunfei also looked at Qiao Yan, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Qiao Yan, why did you kill that man in the supermarket?"
He did not hear the conversation between the others.
Qiao Yan's voice was terribly hoarse, carrying a deathly calm.
"He killed my sister."
Chen Yunfei opened his mouth, but in the end, it only turned into a heavy sigh.
My condolences.
He didn't know what else to say besides those two words.
Qiao Yan closed her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes casting a shadow under her eyelids, her voice carrying a hint of self-mockery and endless sorrow.
“I had prepared for the worst... I thought my sister might have died at the hands of zombies. I just never imagined she would die at the hands of her boyfriend.”
Qin Zhuo's fingers tightened slightly around the steering wheel. After a moment of silence, he said in an almost declarative tone, "That's human nature."
In the apocalypse, the ugliness of human nature is often more terrifying than zombies.
A deathly silence fell over the car.
Just then.
"I'm back!"
A voice suddenly rang out from outside the car without warning, breaking the deathly silence inside.
Immediately afterwards, with a soft "click", the back door of the car was pulled open from the outside, and a head popped in. It was Yuka!
She left school.
