Chapter 57 The old lady is also a superpower? !
"What's wrong?" Shang Li saw her like this and hurried forward, taking a breath.
Soon his expression became extremely complicated.
He pinched his nose and looked at Chen Qingqing for help: "Sister Chen, there seems to be a ..."
"The stench of a corpse."
Before Shang Li could say the second half of the sentence in a tactful way, the old lady took the initiative to say it.
She was leaning on a cane, hunched over, and opened the door with a normal expression.
...The stench of a corpse became more obvious.
Chen Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly: "Where did the stench of the corpse come from?"
The old lady laughed to herself and shook her head: "What do you think? Of course it's Lao Ding."
"I asked you to come here just to ask you to help me with this."
The old lady moved slowly into the house with her crutches and walked slowly to a door.
Everyone followed her.
The layout of this house is similar to Chen Qingqing's house. It is not particularly clean, but it can be considered tidy.
The only thing that is inconsistent is the smell emitted by the things behind this door.
"... Lao Ding is dead?" Chen Qingqing was stunned for a moment.
She didn't see Lao Ding yesterday, and she had indeed expected that Lao Ding had probably met with an accident.
But she didn't expect his body to be still at home.
"He died three days ago." The old lady said calmly.
"You can see my old bones. I have difficulty walking. How can I move him?"
"This old thing is dead, but it is still so heavy."
The old lady muttered to herself as she took out a bunch of keys from her pocket and opened the door.
Seeing this, everyone immediately covered their mouths and noses.
As the door was opened, the smell inside became stronger, and Chen Qingqing became more and more certain of her previous guess -
Lao Ding did not die of natural causes.
A highly decomposed corpse was seen lying on the floor, with eyeballs falling off, skin rotting and festering, and broken leg bones clearly visible.
It is absolutely impossible for a normal person to be so severely decomposed after being dead for three days.
Lao Ding was beaten to death after turning into a zombie.
A circular penetrating wound on his neck can prove it.
There was no one else in the house except the old lady. If someone else had helped to deal with the zombified Old Ding, they would have probably helped to the end and dragged the body out.
But the body lay quietly in the house for three days.
In other words...
Chen Qingqing's gaze moved to the old lady.
The old lady also felt Chen Qingqing's gaze, and stared at her "husband" who was no longer recognizable on the ground for a while, as if she was saying her final goodbye.
After a while, she turned her head and slowly moved towards the kitchen with her crutches.
"Would you like some tea? I love the black tea that Old Ding bought before he died."
The old lady's tone was extremely calm, and she didn't seem to be sad at all.
"Drink."
Chen Qingqing knew that the old lady had something to say.
Lin Bo and Shang Li looked at each other: "Then let's carry the body out first."
"Where to carry it?" Shang Li asked.
"Throw it into the sea." The old lady who walked to the door of the kitchen suddenly stopped and said without looking back.
She pointed to the key she had just placed on the sofa: "It can open the east gate, go down the stairs, and throw it into the sea."
"Throw him into the sea."
"...Okay." Lin Bo responded.
Chen Qingqing took out two pairs of gloves and masks from the bag she carried with her and handed them to them.
They quickly carried the body out. After a while, the old lady came out of the kitchen with a teapot. When she passed the east gate leading to the sea, she paused, but still didn't look over.
Zhou Weiyue hurried forward to take the teapot, but was blocked by the old lady.
The old lady stubbornly put the teapot on the table and poured three more cups of tea: "Don't look at me because I'm old, I can still move."
Zhou Weiyue smiled and said, "Yes, you look very strong, not at all..."
Zhou Weiyue thought of something and was suddenly stunned.
She remembered that when the old lady was talking to Sister Chen on the balcony yesterday, she mentioned that she had been paralyzed for many years.
Now she can not only walk around with tea, but she also had a lot of strength to stop her just now.
Could it be a medical miracle?
The old lady: "I was just going to tell you this."
"On the day that Lao Ding died, it was obviously me who should have died."
She clearly remembered that day when she was lying on the bed dying, Lao Ding came to her side, looked at her, and asked her what she wanted to eat.
She and Lao Ding both knew that it should be her last day.
But they were not sad.
Lao Ding felt that she would soon be relieved, and she also felt that Lao Ding, who had served her for decades, could finally be relieved.
The two of them waited expectantly for the arrival of the last day of their lives.
Lao Ding wanted to fulfill her last wish and let her have a good meal before leaving.
So Lao Ding went to the town to buy her favorite black tea.
But the old lady waited for a long time, only to hear the door being opened, followed by a loud noise.
The old lady, like a last breath of light, surged with strength, took the crutches beside the bed, moved her paralyzed legs and stood up.
She couldn't even think about the fact that she could stand up, her mind was full of the loud noise downstairs.
She had a strong bad premonition.
By the time she was walking down the stairs with her cane, Lao Ding had turned into a zombie, roaring and rushing towards her.
She was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly, her back against the door, and subconsciously reached out to block it.
When she reacted again, Lao Ding had already fallen down, and the blood hole in his neck was gushing out black and red blood, which flowed all over the floor.
At his feet were scattered red tea bags.
"I've been wondering for the past three days why he died."
"I was the one who was served by him for decades, but I rushed to kill him first."
"I don't understand." The old lady looked at Chen Qingqing calmly, but the emotions in her eyes were so complicated that Chen Qingqing couldn't understand.
"Kid, Old Ding always praises you for being smart, do you know why?"
"Did he give me a chance to live and then die?"
"No." Chen Qingqing said decisively.
"If I'm not mistaken, you have awakened your superpowers."
Zhou Weiyue on the side widened her eyes.
Another superpower! ?
No wonder medical miracles can happen, but... what superpowers can an old lady in her seventies awaken?
Chen Qingqing held the jade pendant in her pocket.
If we classify the various superpowers we meet now, including ourselves, we can divide them into three categories.
The first category is Zhang Mingqi's type of superpowers, who have greatly improved their physical fitness and original abilities.
The second category is Xiao Huan and Bai Yu, people with extraordinary abilities.
Xiao Huan can read minds, and Bai Yu can be invisible, which are all beyond human nature.
The third category is people like Chen Qingqing.
They are connected to objects. Chen Qingqing can unlock the portable space from the jade pendant and continuously upgrade the space by accumulating zombies.
The same is true for the old lady in front of him.
And the object associated with the old lady...
Chen Qingqing looked at the crutches in the other's hand.
"Where did you get this cane from?"
