Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Song Kerou Encounters the Xiao Lan Zombie
Before Song Kerou met Leng Yebai, her target was actually Feng Ge.
The youngest Superpower Captain, and also the Chief Captain of the Safety Base.
Feng Ge felt annoyed in his heart, but showed no expression because her father is Song Hongfei, who has a good relationship with the Base Commander.
From time to time, he could learn some information about Song Hongfei’s missions through Song Kerou’s brief remarks.
Previously, she always clung to him, and her intentions were easy to guess. Now, for some unknown reason, she had shifted her target.
He rarely had free time but occasionally learned some things about Song Hongfei from her.
Song Kerou was just stupid; she didn’t know much. Otherwise, he could have already guessed the purpose of the Base Commander sending him out alone this time.
"Brother Feng, have you heard that a very powerful Thunder Ability User recently arrived at the safety base?"
Song Kerou blinked, pretending to be innocent.
She was talking about Leng Yebai. Ever since Leng Yebai struck her with lightning last time, there had been a black mark on her face.
Before the mark on her face disappeared, she certainly didn’t dare to approach Leng Yebai, fearing that the ugly mark on her face would leave a bad impression on him.
In fact, the bad impression was already well-formed.
Feng Ge appeared to be amiable, often talking to people with a gentle tone, easily giving a sense of closeness.
Therefore, Feng Ge knew a bit about the big and small affairs happening at the safety base.
He had already guessed the Thunder Ability User Song Kerou was talking about.
It was probably the Base Commander’s long-lost son, Leng Yebai.
"You’re talking about the Base Commander’s son, Leng Yebai!" Feng Ge said with a smile.
"The Base Commander’s son?" Song Kerou widened her eyes, quite incredulous, "Brother Feng, since when did Leng Yebai become the Base Commander’s son?"
The name Leng Yebai was correct, and the surname Leng was uncommon, so the Leng Yebai Feng Ge mentioned should be her Brother Leng.
But why did he say Leng Yebai was the Base Commander’s son?
It was true that Leng Yebai’s last name was Leng, and the Base Commander’s last name was also Leng, but Leng Yebai had chosen this surname when he was in the orphanage!
"Doesn’t Kerou know? The Base Commander’s son, who disappeared over 20 years ago, was found a few days ago. It’s a Thunder Ability User named Leng Yebai," Feng Ge said.
"Ah?"
Song Kerou’s face initially showed surprise, then her smile grew wider.
She had never met the Base Commander, but Song Hongfei and Song Ning often met him and had a very good relationship.
It was said that the Song Family had known the Base Commander before the apocalypse.
If that’s the case, the two families could be considered family friends, right?
The word "childhood friends" suddenly flashed in Song Kerou’s mind.
She and Leng Yebai grew up in the orphanage. Although she was adopted later, the time in the orphanage was unforgettable.
After ten years, they met again at the safety base, and his father just happened to know her so-called father.
If this isn’t childhood friendship, what is?
Furthermore, Leng Yebai’s father was the Base Commander. In the safety base, there was no better backing than this.
"Brother Feng, thank you so much for telling me this." Song Kerou leaned on the passenger seat, giggling.
Feng Ge could see a bit of charring in the area not covered by Song Kerou’s mask.
In the past, when Song Kerou acted cute, her smile wasn’t ugly but rather had a bit of a cute feeling.
Now... it looked eerie and twisted from any angle.
"Kerou is smiling so happily; do you have something on your mind?" Feng Ge restrained his inner disgust, maintaining an appropriate smile on his face.
"Hmm, I just realized that Brother Leng and I are actually childhood sweethearts!" Song Kerou’s voice inadvertently carried a hint of shyness.
This was the first time Song Kerou didn’t disguise herself, showing genuine girlish shyness.
"Kerou! Don’t talk nonsense! Leng Yebai has a fiancée, and the Base Commander has acknowledged that daughter-in-law. If you continue to spout nonsense, your brother and I will not care about you!"
Driving, Song Hongfei finally couldn’t hold back, scolding Song Kerou loudly.
Originally, Feng Ge was supposed to carry out the mission. According to the Base Commander’s plan, Feng Ge wouldn’t fall in this mission, but it was sure to reveal his true abilities.
The place Feng Ge was going was very dangerous; he was initially supposed to go alone, but Song Kerou insisted on getting involved.
To be honest, Song Hongfei and Song Ning really didn’t want to care about Song Kerou, being so pretentious and trouble-prone.
After all, she had been the Song Family’s adopted daughter for ten years, and they really didn’t have much affection for her, but they couldn’t just watch her go to her death!
But traveling with her was really frustrating. Throughout the journey, Song Kerou chatted endlessly with Feng Ge.
Song Hongfei had been angered for a while now.
"Dad! That woman isn’t his fiancée. She stole Brother Leng from me; I was supposed to be the Base Commander’s daughter-in-law!"
Song Kerou’s face twisted a bit.
Leng Yebai was the man she was originally interested in, and it was unexpected that he was also the Base Commander’s son. If she could be with him...
Just thinking about it made happiness overflow.
"Get some sleep! You can have these dreams there."
Song Ning, who had been silent, lay lazily on the seat and sneered upon hearing what Song Kerou said.
A few days ago, Song Kerou said her boyfriend was taken from her, and she got struck by lightning.
All signs pointed to Song Kerou being struck by Leng Yebai, the Thunder Ability User. Even with minimal thinking, it was clear Leng Yebai didn’t want her as a girlfriend.
Although he hadn’t met Leng Yebai, he heard the old man say that Leng Yebai looked a lot like the Base Commander.
They both had stern faces.
Men with such appearances wouldn’t casually bully the weak and wouldn’t spare any noisy person.
All in all, Song Kerou’s words were heavily exaggerated.
"Brother! Are you not my brother anymore?"
Song Kerou pouted, acting coy.
In truth, she was cursing her so-called brother in her heart.
"I very much hope not." Song Ning gazed out the window, a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
He recalled the time when he went on a mission with Song Wenwen.
Song Kerou didn’t have any Superpower, while Song Wenwen didn’t have deep sisterly feelings for her. But during the journey, she never let Song Kerou travel alone and took great care of her.
On the day Song Wenwen was consumed by the zombie horde, she had the chance to escape.
According to the surviving eyewitnesses, Song Wenwen was running at the front, but when she heard Song Kerou’s cries for help, she turned back.
The eyewitnesses were all running desperately. The zombies were right behind them, and no one dared turn back.
The zombie horde was so large that none of the survivors dared glance back at the zombies; they all wanted to run to the front to survive.
Later, Song Kerou escaped but could no longer see Song Wenwen coming back.
Song Kerou said Song Wenwen was consumed by the zombie horde.
The survivors said being engulfed by the zombie horde meant no remains would be left; it was too dangerous here, and they should hurry back.
Just like that, he lost his biological sister.
Thinking of this, regret filled Song Ning’s eyes.
Had he known, he would have pushed Song Kerou into the zombie horde rather than let Song Wenwen turn back.
Don’t call him selfish; he just wanted the Song Family’s little princess to survive.
Song Ning’s eyes showed a hint of gloom. The sun shone on his face but couldn’t dispel the shadows.
