Xu Shengfei watched as her helpers all turned into red-eyed zombies. She knew the situation was critical and shouted, “Wen Qingling! If you dare to kill me, I’ll make the entire Central Mega City bury with me!”

Wen Qingling appeared with a wooden spike in his hand and replied, “Who gave you such audacity? Do you think you can drag the Central Mega City down without considering its opinion?”

Suddenly, Wen Qingling appeared in front of Xu Shengfei, and without hesitation, he stabbed the wooden spike into her heart.

Xu Shengfei stared at him in disbelief, coughing up blood. Wen Qingling quickly retreated to avoid being contaminated by the dirty blood.

Xu Shengfei’s face twisted, continuously coughing up blood. “Wen Qingling, you really dare…”

Wen Qingling coldly said, “I’ll give you back what you owe. It’s not something that can be easily repaid.”

A faint sound of a gun being opened was heard, and an energy projectile shot directly at Wen Qingling’s forehead. Wen Qingling dodged it, and two more shots followed, but he kept evading them. The trajectory of the energy projectiles was clear in his mind.

A sniper rifle appeared in Xiao Hen’s hands, and he shot back at the assailant.

Both of them exchanged shots, but neither could do anything to the other.

Xiao Heng relied on his true skills, while Lin Wenjie, hiding in the shadows, relied on the advantage of her psychic abilities.

Lin Wenjie left her hiding place and moved to a safer location. She shouted to the outside, “Wen Qingling! Will you dare to battle me?!”

Wen Qingling replied, “You’re not worthy.”

Lin Wenjie became furious and was about to open another shot. Suddenly, several wooden spikes pierced out of the ground. Lin Wenjie reacted quickly and dodged, but she still got a bloody hole in her abdomen.

Wen Qingling said, “Whoever you are, don’t disturb me now. I need to focus on killing Xu Shengfei.”

Lin Wenjie said, “…”

Lin Wenjie burst into laughter, “Just as arrogant and ruthless as the rumors say, devoid of humanity!”

Wen Qingling said indifferently, “Let me remind you, when I get angry, even I’m afraid of myself.”

Lin Wenjie angrily retorted, “I don’t care if you’re angry or not! Wen Qingling, I ask you, did you kill Lin Shang?!”

Wen Qingling replied, “I don’t know him.”

Lin Wenjie gritted her teeth in hatred, “When we were in Rong City, you controlled the vines and killed my brother!”

Wen Qingling tilted his head and thought for a moment, “Are you mistaken?”

Lin Wenjie roared, “Don’t try to defend yourself! My brother died under your vines!”

Wen Qingling said, “You’ve misunderstood. I never use vines to kill insignificant people. If he died under the vines, it can only mean he was seeking death himself. I don’t make mistakes in killing.”

Lin Wenjie was driven mad with anger. No longer hiding, she emerged and began shooting wildly, her gunfire covering Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen. Both of them felt that this woman had gone insane.

Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen quickly evaded her attacks, and Xu Shengfei seized the opportunity to remove the wooden spike and escape.

While evading, Xiao Hen retaliated with two shots from his gun. One hit Lin Wenjie’s shoulder, and the other hit her knee, causing her to collapse completely.

Taking care of the trouble, Xiao Hen continued to kill the red-eyed zombies.

Lin Wenjie had military experience and was also a psychic ability user. Her senses were indeed sharp, but even with sharp senses, without agility and speed, she couldn’t dodge bullets. As a psychic ability user, she was completely insufficient when facing Wen Qingling.

Lin Wenjie struggled to stand with the support of her gun, covered in blood. She no longer hid and stood boldly in front of Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen.Xiao Hen swung his sword and beheaded the red-eyed zombie pouncing towards him. Seeing her, he couldn’t help but frown, “Major Lin, attacking us serves no purpose. You will die here.”

Lin Wenjie sneered, “What does it matter if I die here? Even if I die, I will avenge Lin Shang!”

Xiao Hen knocked down two red-eyed zombies before speaking, “Lin Shang rushed out to protect Yin Cheng and got himself killed. He has no one else to blame.”

Lin Wenjie’s face was filled with envy and hatred. “Wen Qingling killed even ordinary researchers like Lin Shang. Who is there that he can’t kill? Even a three-year-old child knows the value of researchers, but he doesn’t! He is an enemy of all humanity! He killed my brother Lin Shang, and you’re still defending him?!”

Wen Qingling responded, “I really don’t like hearing that. If you say I’m an enemy of all humanity, I can admit it and act accordingly. But I won’t take the blame for killing researchers. Didn’t I release your researchers?”

Lin Wenjie sneered, “You didn’t dare touch Meng Lao, so you had to release the researchers. But you threw Meng Lao’s four assistants to the zombies!”

Wen Qingling remained silent.

Xiao Hen remained silent as well.

Unable to bear the grievance, Wen Qingling was about to argue with her, but Xiao Hen, who appeared suddenly, stopped her. “Where did this information come from?”

Lin Wenjie said, “No matter where the information comes from, the bottom line is that if Wen Qingling dares to appear in Central City, he won’t leave alive!”

Lin Wenjie’s gaze turned sinister. “Xiao Hen, by associating with Wen Qingling, once Xia Jiang finds out, he will definitely fight to the death with the Third District. I advise you to think carefully! If you can join forces with me to kill Wen Qingling, it may be a great favor to the Seventh District.”

Xiao Hen furrowed his brows. What does this have to do with the Seventh District?

Xiao Jiang: “…”

Shao Fei, Mu Yi, Xia Yunhan, Ye Ziqiong… Xia Yunhan?!

Lin Wenjie coldly said, “Everyone says there is no one to succeed Xia Jiang, but no one knows that Xia Jiang’s nephew is among those four assistants. He is Xia Jiang’s only relative. Do you think Xia Jiang will let this slide?”

Wen Qingling didn’t bother with Lin Wenjie but turned to Xu Shengfei, who was trying to escape, and said, “Keep running, and I’ll slice your zombie parents into pieces.”

Xu Shengfei froze suddenly. She slowly turned around, looking at Wen Qingling in disbelief.

Wen Qingling glanced back, and two large and fat zombies were running over, with a chubby baby riding on the male zombie’s head. The chubby baby was holding a branch and shouting excitedly. The red-eyed zombies that were attacking Xiao Hen stopped and gathered around the chubby baby.

The chubby baby glanced at Xiao Hen, its crimson eyes gleaming with excitement. It pointed forward with the small branch, “Roar~~”

The previously calm red-eyed zombies became restless once again. They bypassed Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen and rushed toward Lin Wenjie and Xu Shengfei in front. The two large zombies carried the chubby baby and charged forward. The chubby baby kept shouting and commanding the entire scene.

Both Lin Wenjie and Xu Shengfei’s faces changed drastically, and they wanted to escape. However, one was heavily injured, and the other cared about her zombie parents and couldn’t run away.

Lin Wenjie refused to die so easily and shouted, “Xiao Hen! By siding with Wen Qingling, you are unworthy of being human!”

Xiao Hen remained silent.

I haven’t been human for a long time. Thank you.

Xu Shengfei’s face became ferocious as she screamed out loud, but she didn’t dare to get any closer. She was very familiar with the chubby baby with tentacles on its head. She used to have one too, but unfortunately, it was uncontrollable, and she let it escape.

Xu Shengfei was certain that this wasn’t her own chubby baby. That one was missing an arm, bitten off by Xu Shengfei before it evolved.

Unable to scare off the red-eyed zombies with her shouts, Xu Shengfei shouted at Wen Qingling, “Let go of my parents! Wen Qingling, you must die! You must die——!!! Release them! Release them——!!!”

Wen Qingling coldly watched as the red-eyed zombies engulfed her, watched as she fought her way out, and rushed towards her zombie parents. In shock and astonishment, she saw her parents’ arms being torn off by the zombies, who were eager to bite them.

No matter what her parents had become, as long as they were still alive, they were her support and spiritual pillar.

Xu Shengfei tried everything to save her parents, but in the end, she died at the hands of her beloved parents.

Before Xu Shengfei closed her eyes, Wen Qingling personally beheaded the two large zombies, preventing any possibility of them turning into evolved zombies.Wen Qingling reached out and grabbed the chubby baby, which was struggling desperately and making a mess of sounds.

With a cold expression, Wen Qingling said, “Get rid of these things, they’re in the way.”

The struggling chubby baby paused, turned its head to look at Wen Qingling’s expression, and then let out a series of roars. The red-eyed zombies that were previously charging forward began retreating, heading who knows where.

Wen Qingling wasn’t interested in such a mischievous chubby baby and casually threw it to Xiao Hen.

Looking at the two corpses on the ground, Lin Wenjie and Xu Shengfei, both torn beyond recognition from being bitten, Wen Qingling drew his knife and chopped off their heads, preventing any chance of them turning into zombies.

Wen Qingling sheathed his knife and coldly spoke, “Are you here for sightseeing?”

Lu Tianjin, who was hiding on the side, cautiously walked out. “I’m sorry I couldn’t be of help.”

Wen Qingling glanced at him. “Looking at your footprints, one would think you’ve done so much.”

Lu Tianjin: “…”

Wen Qingling continued, “You have nothing to do here. You can leave.”

Lu Tianjin was stunned. “Where… where can I go?”

Wen Qingling took out a vacuum-sealed bag from his backpack and threw it at him. Inside was a blood anemone. “Go wherever you want.”

Even when Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen had walked far away, Lu Tianjin still stood motionless in his original spot. He held the blood anemone given to him by Wen Qingling, unable to express his emotions.

Regret? He had long regretted it. When he found out that Wen Qingling might not be a human but a zombie, he already regretted it.

But everything was too late.

When they meet again, they won’t be the same brothers as before.

Wen Qingling was especially careful in his actions. He didn’t leave any traces of Xu Shengfei’s remains. He let Xiao Hen take them all away, even wiping away the bloodstains on the ground.

On their way, they found a car. Wen Qingling urged Xiao Hen to drive quickly. He wanted to go to Central City and witness the spectacle.

Xiao Hen: “…”

Is his joy at others’ misfortune too obvious?

The two of them hurried to the East Gate and were almost blinded by the commotion there.

The entrance of the East Gate was crowded with survivors and vehicles. Guard He Mumu blocked the gate with live ammunition and refused to let anyone pass. The entrance was as noisy as a market, with survivors preparing to evacuate in a highly emotional state, crying and shouting to leave.

Wen Qingling listened for a moment and confirmed that the “Undead” had gone mad.

There was no safe place in Central City now. No matter where you hide, there’s a possibility of being suddenly attacked by monsters. The only way to be safe is to isolate oneself, not make contact with anyone, and not let anyone find you. Perhaps that would provide some safety. But clearly, they couldn’t do that. They could hide, but those biting monsters would still find them.

The guards were trying to pacify the crowd. “All the districts are carrying out clean-up operations. Please give us some time and don’t hinder our work. Go back, find a place to hide, don’t come out! Don’t gather here! Go back!”

“We want to leave the city! Let us out! We’ll come back when you’ve cleaned everything up!”

“That’s right! Let us out! Are you trying to trap us in the city to feed the monsters?!”

“I want to go out! Let me out!”

Xiao Hen watched as the car couldn’t get through and could only wait.

Wen Qingling climbed onto the roof of the car and settled down, intending to be a qualified spectator, enjoying the show while eating braised pork. Life couldn’t be more satisfying.

Xiao Hen tapped on the roof of the car. “That’s enough. Being so conspicuous will get us into trouble.”

Wen Qingling: “It’s a good show, a good show.”

Xiao Hen: “…”

Xiao Hen looked at Kui Bao No. 2, who was tied to the passenger seat. The little one was happily gnawing on a piece of blood anemone, covered in fresh red stains, looking shocking. It seemed to be very happy, clapping its little hands while looking ahead.

Wen Qingling’s duckbill cap was already on Kui Bao No. 2’s head, covering its exuberant little tentacles, but it was still naked without any clothes.
