"Which company are you from?" Shi Yin casually flicked her right earphone.
Look at the mess you've made! You've taken down all the corrupt officials in one fell swoop, how come there are still some left over?
In the main control room, Ye Shaoheng's smile had vanished. Shi Yin's search for the mastermind had caused quite a stir, and Ji Yunhan, the commander-in-chief, and his own grandfather had all arrived.
Ye Shaoheng spearheaded the cleanup of corrupt officials. He removed all the officials on the list provided by Shi Yin within a week, and followed the trail to remove several more.
As a result, the boss went on an incognito visit and now he's run into a fish that slipped through the net. It's a real slap in the face. Ye Shaoheng can feel Ye Yuansong staring at him, wishing he could beat him up.
He's innocent...
"The Song family, the Song family of the capital, ever heard of them!" Song Mo said smugly, "Are you scared now!"
Shi Yin: "?"
Isn't this on the list?
Ye Shaoheng [?]
[Sister Yin is innocent! I will definitely wipe them all out!] Ye Shaoheng wished he could go to the prison right now to get the head of the Song family out and make him explain to everyone.
"Sister Yin, believe me, his entire family except him is in prison! Give me half an hour and I can bring them all here!"
Ye Shaoheng got angry; he wasn't going to take the blame for this.
"...Has your family told you about the current situation?" Shi Yin looked at Song Mo hesitantly: "Who said they would send a helicopter to pick you up?"
"Hmph, I'm the only son in my family, who else would they save if not me?" Song Mo said arrogantly, "My dad hasn't even had time to contact me yet, which means things are in complete chaos outside. Once my dad builds up his power, he'll definitely come looking for me."
Ye Shaoheng [...]
"Look, Sister Yin, I've already said I'm innocent..."
Is it possible that your dad didn't have time to contact you because he had been detained and his communication devices had been confiscated?
“Maybe your dad has already been bitten.” Jiang Ning clenched her fist. “Money is the most useless thing in the apocalypse.”
“What do you know? My dad is rich and powerful. He’ll definitely save him first. Besides, my dad has hundreds of obedient underlings.” Song Mo said smugly.
Shi Yin: "..."
Do you have a private army?
"Sister Yin, I guarantee they've all been taken care of. They've all found work in various shelters," Ye Shaoheng assured him.
Shi Yin was at ease with his work.
"Moreover, several high-ranking officials have close ties with my family and even cooperate with us. We are all in this together." Song Mo was completely unaware that he had already implicated his father and continued to reveal shocking information: "When we become independent and the country is in chaos, we will be the biggest supporter."
Shi Yin: "?"
Does your family form cliques?
[This is also resolved, Sister Yin. The list you provided is quite comprehensive; you have to trust me.]
“Yes, money is useless, but my family has grain.” Song Mo continued, “We store some of the grain that the government distributes every time. We originally planned to raise the price, but now it serves as a reserve resource.”
Tokine: "!"
Ye Shaoheng: [It's alright, Sister Yin. I found this one too; not a single grain of rice was left.]
But this charge has been confirmed!
Heaven knows how eloquent his father was at the end of the Song Dynasty.
Young man? I don't know him!
Cooperation? No way!
Stockpiling grain? We haven't had time to distribute it yet, but we plan to do so tomorrow!
Now it's all right, my son admitted it himself.
I was originally planning to just kill this person if he didn't talk, at most I could suppress his bad reputation with some public relations, but it would be a bit troublesome. Now it's like a godsend.
"[The recording has been copied?]" The commander's voice came through the earpiece, very softly, probably next to Ye Shaoheng. "[Let's see if he'll confess this time.]"
Then came the sound of footsteps, which sounded very hurried, as if they were running.
Shi Yin paused, looking at Song Mo who seemed completely relaxed and full of confidence, and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.
Why is he so confident?
But nobody paid any attention to him.
Everyone is struggling to survive these days. College students may be innocent, but they're not stupid enough to be this foolish. You're so arrogant now, do you think you'll get away with following me?
Besides, how would anyone know if he was telling the truth or not? Anyone who hasn't seen it before will be considered bragging.
Shi Yin and her group brought a lot of supplies, almost emptying all the vending machines on the first floor. In addition, some people climbed out of the dormitory and brought food. If they use them sparingly, they can last for two or three days even without going to other vending machines.
As time went by, everyone grew tired, and now they had no choice but to wait.
As night falls, most people drift off to sleep.
Night is the domain of shadows.
In the pitch black, a crow perched on the window, melting like liquid and merging into the darkness. The next moment, it condensed again in the study room and appeared beside Shi Yin.
Making eye contact is their normal form of communication, and hearing the crow's call is not a good omen, which is indeed the case.
In the darkness, Shi Yin stood up, her movements as light as a breeze. She took out a white mask from her bosom and put it on. The snake head on her cane gleamed in the night. She gently opened the door of the study room a crack.
"Hmm?" Cheng Sui was sleeping next to Shi Yin, very close to the door. She didn't notice when Shi Yin got up, but the door to the study room opened and made a sound. The slight noise startled Cheng Sui, who already had trouble sleeping.
Cheng Sui was startled when he saw Shi Yin's face. In the darkness, especially in such a tense atmosphere, a white mask suddenly appeared.
Shi Yin was dressed in all black, like No-Face from Spirited Away, and could scare people in the dark. However, Cheng Sui's focus was not on that.
When Cheng Sui saw the crack in the door that Shi Yin had pried open with her cane, she was instantly stunned and felt her scalp tingle.
She covered her mouth tightly, struggling with all her might to suppress the urge to scream.
As Shi Yin pried the door open a little more, her pale pupils were fully revealed. In the darkness, one could only see the faint bluish-gray on the zombie's body, but those pale pupils were enough to terrify anyone.
The zombie silently clung to the door, seemingly lying in ambush for the first person to open it. The moment Shi Yin pried the door open, it immediately opened its blood-red maw and lunged forward.
But Shion moves even faster.
The muscle-reflex cane lashed forward, and the zombie's head shattered like a watermelon, splattering blood-red juice all over the wall.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
Even though everyone was fast asleep, the sound of Shi Yin smashing the zombie's head against the wall with her cane was still quite loud, accompanied by the stench of blood, which immediately caused the group of frightened people to huddle together.
"Sit still!" Shi Yin's voice rose two decibels, and she tapped her cane into the ground. The little golden snake on the cane seemed to come alive and raised its head, becoming the only source of light in the dark study room.
But there was no movement outside. It seemed that apart from the zombie that had been lying in ambush, there were no other companions. Only the strong smell of blood clearly told everyone that there was definitely more than just this one in front of them.
"Cheng Sui, come with me." Shi Yin touched the snake head stuck in the ground, and instantly, every corner of the entire study room was enveloped in a golden light.
"Bang!"
With a flash of silver light, a steel knife shattered the surveillance camera in the study room.
Shi Yin pulled Cheng Sui directly to the window.
"Wait, there are still zombies outside." Someone immediately stood up from the ground.
Of course, they were not happy to see Shi Yin leave. Now everyone understood that Shi Yin was the strongest person here. With zombies surrounding them outside, who would they rely on if Shi Yin left?
The two moves Shi Yin displayed were enough to give people a sense of security, but he was leaving before even a day had passed.
"I'll leave the cane here. No zombies will break through the defenses. Just don't go out." Shi Yin said seriously, "Cheng Sui, come with me!"
