She and Nan Lan have similar personalities and don't get along well. If it weren't for their mutual friend Ning Rou, they would never have any interaction at all.
She subconsciously looked at Shen Wangshu. This gentle and simple woman was dressed in very clean and light clothes at this moment. Although she was not dressed up, she was extremely meticulous in the details.
Her hair and face were clean and full, and her rosy and lovely appearance showed that she was doing well. She was safely hiding behind Nan Lan, facing the struggling survivors with an innocent expression and hypocritical kindness. This naivety about life disgusted Song Xi so much that she almost wanted to vomit. What angered her even more was that the Lightbringer was sitting in the same car with Ning Rou, and they seemed to be very close.
Why does Ning Rou always oppose her and try to steal her opportunities?
Even the Lightbringer was rescued by Ning Rou. Does Ning Rou intend to kill her?
Song Xi skillfully concealed her hatred beneath her joy.
But before she could even grasp Shen Wangshu's hand, a gun was pressed against her head.
"Do you know how hard I searched for you?" Nan Lan's voice became hoarse, her eyes reddening. Ignoring the screams and retreat of the survivors after she pointed a gun at Song Xi, she lowered her voice and said, "You heartless beast! How could Rou Rou consider you a good friend?" She saw Song Xi looking at her with disbelief, as if she couldn't believe she dared to kill someone in public. She gave a cold laugh and was about to pull the trigger. But at that moment, Song Xi screamed and demanded, "Why are you killing me?!"
Song Xi's expression turned to shock, and she screamed, "Just because I'm a useless ordinary person, you look down on ordinary people and would even kill your own friends?!"
Her screams caused the survivors to show fear and a hidden sense of condemnation towards Nan Lan.
"Trying to play tricks on me?" Song Xi's words put Nan Lan on the opposite side of the survivors, but Nan Lan just sneered.
She reached out from the car window, grabbed Song Xi's chin, and whispered, "I thought you already understood that this is the apocalypse." In the apocalypse, human life is the least valuable thing. So what if Song Xi has gathered so many survivors? As long as Nan Lan remains a high-level ability user, she will remain superior and won't care about the words of ordinary people. This is a world where the strong rule; the weak are protected and shouldn't point fingers at the strong.
Even if rumors about Nan Lan spread, so what?
Is she still worried about her reputation?
“This woman.” At first, A-Guang was just smiling as he watched, but when he heard Song Xi accuse Nan Lan, his face immediately darkened.
He stared intently at Song Xi for a moment, and as she looked at him with pleading eyes, he flicked his finger.
A beam of light shot towards Song Xi, but just as she screamed and dodged, it was suddenly deflected by a wind blade!
"Stop!" Song Lei arrived in a car from afar. He stood on the roof of the car, raising his hand high, with a formed wind blade in his hand.
His face was grim. He jumped out of the car as A-Guang suddenly became angry. He looked at Song Xi, who had fallen to the ground with a scream, and then at Nan Lan and A-Guang, whose faces were gloomy. He said angrily, "How could you kill people like that?!" He had always had a great liking for the Ning family and was willing to turn a blind eye to some of their things, but that did not mean they could kill survivors at will.
He was unaware of the entanglement between Song Xi and Shen Wangshu, and therefore couldn't understand why A Guang wanted to kill someone.
"I thought that after so much time, Mr. Song would believe that we are not people who indiscriminately kill innocent people," Shen Wangshu said calmly from the back seat of the car.
Song Lei was taken aback, subconsciously released Song Xi from behind, and looked at Song Xi with a suspicious look.
Although the Ning family members were somewhat averse to risks, he had worked with them longer and knew they weren't unreasonable people. If a conflict arose, then…
Song Lei fell silent, his natural composure and rationality taking over his mind, causing him to relinquish Song Xi behind him.
"No!" Seeing her protector back down because of Shen Wangshu's words, Song Xi could hardly believe that Ning Rou had gained such great prestige.
Of course she knew Song Lei. This military representative wasn't the most powerful in terms of superpowers, but he wielded considerable influence within the military's upper echelons, being a direct descendant of the highest-ranking officials. This status placed him far above that of ordinary superpowered individuals, allowing him to wield significant power within the base. He had once been someone Song Xi cared about, and she had finally met him today, hoping to make friends, only to be deterred by a single sentence from Shen Wangshu.
Song Xi's legs went weak, and under Shen Wangshu's indifferent gaze, he regretted for the first time why he hadn't killed Ning Rou with his own hands.
She only wanted to use someone else to do her dirty work, but she didn't expect it to leave behind such a troublesome legacy.
"Rou Rou, why did you want to kill me?" She had to make one last effort, asking tremblingly, "Is there some misunderstanding between us?"
"You misunderstood that you threw me into a pile of zombies? And now that the apocalypse is here, you can't even be bothered to call my parents?" Shen Wangshu retorted.
"I didn't know about the zombie outbreak either." Who would have thought that there could be rebirth in this world? Song Xi said with a blank and innocent expression, "That day I just wanted to ask you to go shopping, but you don't know, I also went to the mall to find you!" She spoke sincerely, but Shen Wangshu found it extremely interesting.
Song Xi, who had always spoken the sharpest words across lifetimes and never knew how to soften, actually showed weakness. She looked at this woman who had put Ning Rou to death and smiled slightly.
“You’re right.” She softened her expression and said gently in Song Xi’s surprised gaze, “The apocalypse is coming, and you really didn’t know.”
"Of course you didn't mean to leave me alone in the mall with zombies, did you?" Shen Wangshu asked gently.
"I really didn't mean it!" Song Xi nodded vigorously.
Shen Wangshu sighed, looked at Song Xi with tender eyes, and touched Ah Xuan's hand.
He jumped out of the car with a cold expression, grabbed Song Xi's arm, and dragged her staggeringly into the closed warehouse.
He reached out and grabbed the iron gate, kicked Song Xi inside, then pulled the gate down halfway, before quickly darting to a distance and dragging over two high-level zombies that were howling fiercely.
After shoving the two zombies into the warehouse, Ah Xuan decisively pulled down the iron door in front of him, hiding Song Xi's terrified expression behind it.
"I didn't do it on purpose," Shen Wangshu said with a smile, feigning innocence.
