Chapter 30: Estrangement
Liu Xiaona turned around slowly and held her breath.
There was no one behind me.
"Liu Xiaona!" It was still that weak voice.
Liu Xiaona's legs went weak, and with trembling hands, she reached for the alley's low wall. His courage could be either big or small. In a dark alley like this, where he couldn't see his surroundings clearly, he was considered timid.
"Liu Xiaona!" The woman's voice seemed closer.
Liu Xiaona looked around and touched her hand on the wall, when she was suddenly slapped on the hand.
"Ah!" Liu Xiaona jumped up. He was about to run away when a pair of hands grabbed his collar.
"Help..." Liu Xiaona wanted to scream, but someone covered her mouth with a hand. The hand was reaching down from above his head.
After all, I saw a ghost.
Liu Xiaona's eyes went dark and she fainted. Compared to zombies, he was more afraid of ethereal ghosts.
Chen Ke, who was lying on the low wall, was stunned. She never expected that Liu Xiaona would faint like this.
When Liu Xiaona woke up, Chen Ke was squatting beside him, holding a small flashlight and shining it on him.
Chen Ke sneered: "Oh, you're awake."
Liu Xiaona quickly got up and looked around. After confirming that the female ghost in the nightmare was not there, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and straightened his back.
"Why are you here?" Liu Xiaona deliberately spoke to Chen Ke in a cold tone.
"I, I heard from Brother Lin that you were in God's Supermarket..." Chen Ke rarely spoke like this, stuttering.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"I've seen a lot of things around Brother Lin..." Chen Ke looked at Liu Xiaona with her watery eyes, "There are some things I feel I need to remind you of. After all, we've known each other for a while."
"Oh oh oh, nice to meet you!" Liu Xiaona imitated Chen Ke's speech with an exaggerated expression.
"Even if you don't believe me, I have to tell you, otherwise I won't be able to sleep or eat."
"Okay, tell me, what's the matter?" During the nearly one month at Base No. 27, Liu Xiaona finally saw Chen Ke's true face. He appeared to be a kind and friendly lotus, but inwardly he was a fence-sitter who fawned on the powerful.
"Do you know what Song Yuqing's special ability is?" Chen Ke said with a serious expression.
"Nonsense!" Liu Xiaona became alert. "Don't try to get anything out of me. I won't tell you!"
Chen Ke: ...
"I know, it's the space." Chen Ke paused, "Then do you know what else Song Yuqing's space can be used for besides storing goods?"
"Well, then what?" Liu Xiaona said impatiently, "Just tell me what's going on. Don't tell me what it is. I don't want to guess riddles with you!"
"Okay, let me get this straight. Besides being able to store goods, Song Yuqing's space also has a killer move." Chen Ke stared directly into Liu Xiaona's eyes and whispered three words, "Swallow, devour, people."
Liu Xiaona looked at her toes, frowning. He didn't know this. However, what Chen Ke said might not be true.
"Guess, Sister Qin, how did you disappear?"
Liu Xiaona suddenly looked at Chen Ke.
"That day, Brother Lin was on his way back to base from Chen Town when he saw Sister Qin and Song Yuqing walking together. Brother Lin was far away, so he didn't know what they were talking about, but it looked like a serious topic. Then, for some unknown reason, Song Yuqing used his supernatural powers to unleash a black vortex, engulfing the defenseless Sister Qin."
Chen Ke carefully studied Liu Xiaona's expression and added cautiously, "Later, Brother Lin ran into Song Yuqing at the Chen Town Supermarket. He wanted to inquire about Sister Qin, but unexpectedly, Song Yuqing released another black vortex... If Brother Lin hadn't run fast, he would probably have disappeared from this world like Sister Qin."
Liu Xiaona's heart was beating wildly.
Really?
"If you want to avenge Sister Qin, then..." Chen Ke whispered in Liu Xiaona's ear. After hearing this, Liu Xiaona turned around and left with a wooden face.
Liu Xiaona's steps were unsteady and she stumbled as she walked.
Chen Ke looked at Liu Xiaona's back with a smile on his face.
"Liu Xiaona, you're going in the wrong direction!"
Liu Xiaona turned around in a daze and walked back, her eyes dull, her hands tightly clutching the corners of her clothes...
In the God's Supermarket, the old warm yellow lights were on, and Song Yuqing, Gaha, Xiao Roubao and Xie Zetian surrounded Xie Hao.
Xie Hao stood shyly in the middle, his head bald except for a circle of short yellowish-brown hair around it.
"Kappa?"
"Sha Monk?"
Song Yuqing and Xie Zetian each spoke a word, tearing apart Xie Hao's dignity.
Gaha reached out curiously to touch Xie Hao's head. It felt really good.
"Gah!"
Xie Hao dodged Gaha's hand aggrievedly, his eyes searching the ground, hoping there was a hole for him to crawl into.
"You're quite powerful. Two high-level zombies can only take away your... wig." Song Yuqing held back his laughter.
"Roar, those two zombies have golden eyes! They can even cooperate with each other! I almost died!" Xie Hao felt a pang of fear when he mentioned the two zombies with golden eyes. If he had run slower, today would be his death anniversary.
The little meat bun stared at Xie Hao's head and grinned.
Xie Zetian still had a conscience. He picked up the plate of cold rice and put it into Xie Hao's mouth.
"Eat, eat more. We'll go pick up some more zombies later. Boss Song said the more zombies we hand over, the better our food will be."
Xie Hao's hand, which had just picked up the chopsticks, stopped and turned to look at Xie Zetian angrily. They were still relatives! They didn't care about his safety at all!
Speaking of food, Xiao Roubao and Song Yuqing looked out the door at the same time. Their partner Liu Xiaona hadn't returned yet...
"Gaha..." Gaha rubbed his hands. Could it be that Liu Xiaona also encountered those two high-level zombies with golden eyes?
At this moment, outside the God's Supermarket, Liu Xiaona stood leaning against the wall, her expression wooden, as if she had merged with the wall, her entire body emitting a melancholy aura. The light leaking from the God's Supermarket flowed quietly at his feet.
After a long while, Liu Xiaona moved her feet and prepared to enter the house, and happened to bump into Song Yuqing who was pushing the door open.
"You're back! I was just thinking about looking for you!"
"Um."
Song Yuqing's response was indifference.
Liu Xiaona said nothing, walked silently through the light green door, went into her room and locked the door.
The originally lively atmosphere in God's Supermarket suddenly became deserted.
Song Yuqing stood there in a daze. She could feel the distance between her and Liu Xiaona suddenly widen. She seemed to see the seeds of hatred in Liu Xiaona's downcast eyes.
Three hundred meters away in a high-rise building, Lin Han held a telescope and looked over the streets, low buildings, and low walls to watch what was happening in the God's Supermarket.
Behind Lin Han, Chen Ke was panting as she reported on her work. She had just climbed twenty-eight steps and hadn't fully recovered yet.
"Brother Lin, the bug has been installed..."
"Ke, do you know what I'm going to do next?" Lin Han played with the telescope and spoke slowly.
"have no idea."
"Do you think Liu Xiaona will listen to us?"
