Chapter 244 Take Care of Yourself
Yang Wen stood on the corner platform of the stairs, holding the blood-stained watermelon knife, her eyes cold and silent, staring at him with an extremely complex and cold gaze.
The stairwell was dimly lit, and there were bright red bloodstains on her body, which was indeed frightening at first glance.
Feeling guilty, Li Changrui kept muttering, "You're clearly dead. You should have been eaten by zombies. You couldn't have climbed up with such serious injuries. You couldn't be standing here unharmed. You're a ghost. Get away from me. You brought this on yourself."
He waved his hands, trying to scare away the people in front of him, and also trying to dispel the slight guilt in his heart.
Speaking of years of relationship, even the most heartless person would find it impossible to remain unmoved by the thought of their former lover dying at their hands.
The red-haired man moved away from Li Changrui. "Why is he suddenly acting a bit strange?"
Yang Wen sneered, "That's normal. Anyone would be afraid if they saw the person they killed standing perfectly fine in front of them."
She carried the watermelon knife and walked step by step toward Li Changrui.
The red-haired man was shocked. "Him? He killed you? How is that possible? Brother Rui was so reluctant to let you go, how could he possibly kill you?"
Yang Wen stood in front of Li Changrui and slowly raised the bright red watermelon knife in her hand. "He not only killed me, but also many other people. In order to prevent us from leaving, he let zombies in. He was utterly depraved."
"I didn't, I..." Li Changrui looked up to argue, but when he saw Yang Wen holding up the watermelon knife, he wanted to get up and run away.
In that instant, Yang Wen swiftly brought down her knife, and Li Changrui's head thudded to the ground.
"Ah, someone's been killed! The base commander's been killed!"
"Yang Wen killed Li Changrui? How is that possible? How could they have ended up like this?"
"Yang Wen, are you crazy? How could you kill Li Changrui? You two used to sleep in the same bed. How could you be so vicious?"
Yang Wen dropped the watermelon knife in her hand, glanced at them, and said only, "You'd better watch yourselves."
Since these people don't want to leave, she doesn't want to bother with them.
Yang Wen went downstairs to comfort the frightened survivors.
Some people lost their friends and family in the zombie attack, but after the grief, the survivors must still strive to live.
Yang Wen used her water-based supernatural abilities to clear out the zombies on the first floor and continued their work of moving supplies.
After everyone got back to work, she returned to the room where Li Changrui had stayed and searched for the crystal core he had hidden.
When did they begin to drift apart?
She saw Li Changrui coming downstairs with a woman, and after investigating, she learned about the things Li Changrui and his brothers had done.
She felt nauseous and made up an excuse to sleep in a separate room from Li Changrui. He was happy to be free and readily agreed.
She knew what those men were up to behind the scenes; it wasn't that she didn't want to get involved, but that she couldn't.
She is nominally the base leader, but most of the superhumans are on Li Changrui's side, so she doesn't have much say in many things.
From that time on, Yang Wen was thinking of a solution. As the acid rain intensified, she made up her mind to leave with a group of people.
It wasn't just because of the acid rain; she also began to hate the base she had built from scratch. As they said, certain parts of the base and its people were beginning to rot.
The most decisive way is to discard this rotten flesh and be reborn.
Yang Wen found the box of crystal cores under the bed. She pulled it out and opened the lid. Inside, it was sparkling, and on top was a group photo of them when they first got together in college.
Whether it's treasured or discarded somewhere out of sight, it no longer matters.
Yang Wen casually tossed the photo on the ground, hugged the crystal core, turned and left. The memories of the past, along with that rotting person, were crushed under her feet and vanished completely.
As usual, they took five-eighths of all the supplies, leaving the rest for those who remained.
As for whether they live or die in the future, Yang Wen couldn't be bothered to care.
She used a bright flashlight to signal the two vehicles outside that were fighting zombies, telling them they could leave.
Meng Shiwan then exited the game, got up from the sofa, and realized that she had unknowingly eaten a bunch of snack bags.
He tidied everything up and threw it into the trash can, put the unfinished snacks into his storage space, cleaned up the place, and then went to the driver's seat to drive the RV back to the lobby on the first floor.
The zombies on the first floor had all been cleared away; it was very clean, and it was impossible to tell what had just happened. However, everyone was in a low mood, as if they had suffered a severe blow.
As Meng Shiwan got out of the driver's seat, she saw Ye Sangyu waving and greeting her as if nothing had happened.
"Sister, is that scumbag dead yet?"
They had intended to drive back after seeing the distress signal, but stopped when they saw Meng Shiwan disappear into the building.
With Meng Shiwan around, no matter what kind of zombie scumbag boyfriend she is, he's no match for her.
Meng Shiwan shrugged. "I don't know, maybe."
Yang Wen walked towards them with a relaxed and efficient air. "Dead. It's all over."
She handed Meng Shiwan a delicate little bag, saying, "These are the 1,998 crystal cores I owe you."
Meng Shiwan took it, put it into her spatial storage, and took the opportunity to promote it, "Are you still buying? If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get another chance."
Once they reach Ye Sheng's base and have the crystal cores in their hands, it won't be so easy for them to buy more crystal cores from her.
Yang Wen's eyes lit up. "Buy it! Do you have any more?"
Meng Shiwan laughed and said, "Yes, as long as you have crystal cores, you can have as many as you want."
"I'll buy a few more."
She squatted down, opened the box, and began counting the crystal cores.
At this moment, Yang Wen suddenly felt that this person was quite extraordinary, being able to produce so much power-enhancing fluid and sell it so easily without seeming to care at all.
The small base she mentioned, Dawn Base, might not be as ordinary as one might imagine.
With such a powerful figure in charge of this small base, how bad could it possibly be?
Yang Wen counted the crystal cores and bought four more. She still had some crystal cores left, which she would keep for herself at the new base.
She drank one bottle herself and gave the remaining three to the superhuman who was with her.
When the superhuman saw the power-enhancing fluid she handed him, he was overjoyed. He probably never imagined that Yang Wen would share the power-enhancing fluid with him.
This is a power-enhancing fluid, something that power users would fight over.
"Thank you, base commander. No matter what happens in the future, I will always follow you."
What kind of base manager would be so kind as to give her three vials of the already limited power-enhancing fluid?
Ye Sangyu, watching from the side, joked, "Huh? Giving away these three bottles of ability-enhancing fluid is no different from raising assassins."
