Chapter 560: Chapter 600: Song Kerou’s Plan
Song Family.
Song Kerou didn’t know the Song Family had already reached the vicinity of the safe base; she only knew that if they returned, she would be doomed.
After Song’s mother left, she immediately crawled out of bed and began packing things everywhere.
Song Kerou unhesitatingly rushed into Song Hongfei and his wife’s bedroom, searching everywhere for valuables.
She pulled open a drawer, revealing a drawer full of jewelry.
The jewelry was all high-end design, but now it wasn’t worth much money, and Song Kerou clearly didn’t intend to let these pretty things slip away.
She directly found the largest suitcase, then opened the jewelry boxes and tossed everything into the suitcase.
The jewelry wasn’t the most valuable; it was the crystal cores that were.
She never considered the Song Family her own family; she had known since childhood that she must control wealth in her own hands, for only then is it truly hers.
She had memorized the safe’s password long ago when the Song Family stored crystal cores, opened the safe, and it was packed full of crystal cores, many of them high rank.
The Song family members were high rank superpower users, frequently carrying out missions assigned directly by the Base Commander, always richly rewarded, never short of crystal cores.
"Really stingy, hoarding so many crystal cores and unwilling to share!"
Upon seeing so many crystal cores, Song Kerou’s eyes lit up, and she stuffed them all into the suitcase, which suddenly became heavy.
The Song Family usually gave crystal cores to Song Kerou as pocket money, but she was too extravagant, living by pre-apocalypse standards even amidst the apocalypse.
So, she always bought the best from the black market when it came to food and clothing.
Over time, the Song Family stopped giving her too many crystal cores as pocket money; besides, Song Kerou didn’t have superpowers, didn’t need to absorb crystal cores, and needed to learn to be thrifty.
In Song Kerou’s eyes, the Song Family was mistreating her, not treating her like a biological daughter.
However, she never thought about how Song Wenwen’s large supply of crystal cores was because she was a superpower user, needed to absorb them, and had a powerful ability to extract them herself.
Song Kerou looked gloomily at a photo of Song Hongfei and his wife by the bedside, directly found a knife, and viciously slashed the photo across their faces.
The originally warm photo instantly became terrifying.
Song Kerou felt this was still not venting her anger, so she went to the bedside cabinet.
On the bedside cabinet was a photo of a beautiful girl in a sky-blue dress, her facial features exquisite and without any makeup, yet still more beautiful than Song Kerou with makeup applied.
The girl simply stood there, unadorned, and you could see from her aura that she was a well-cultivated and cherished little princess by her family.
This was the Song family’s only biological daughter, Song Wenwen.
Seeing Song Wenwen’s beautiful face, Song Kerou recalled her rotting face and couldn’t help but smile wildly.
"Bang!"
The photo frame was thrown to the ground, Song Kerou stomped on it twice, her smile never fading, in fact, growing happier.
Song Wenwen may have received the Song family’s love, but what’s the use if she’s stuck with a rotten face, worse than an adopted child like me? Truly pitiful!
"Haha—"
Song Kerou laughed aloud and began ransacking the house for valuable items, tossing them all into the suitcase.
Whenever she saw a photo related to Song Wenwen, she’d slash it with a knife, leaving a horrific mark on the photo.
Vengeful and exhilarating!
No time to pack pretty clothes, Song Kerou strained to drag the suitcase towards the door.
With so many crystal cores, she could live comfortably in the apocalypse.
She had her fingers on the doorknob when Song Kerou suddenly hesitated.
Without any superpowers, she would inevitably depend on others; no matter how many crystal cores she had in the apocalypse, she couldn’t protect them and would be targeted.
Because the Song family’s superpowers were exceptionally strong and respected in the base, she hadn’t suffered at all in the apocalypse.
But if she left the Song Family, without superpowers, her survival would be uncertain.
Her first thought was of Leng Yebai; being with him would be more advantageous than staying with the Song Family.
Yet, Song Kerou suddenly recalled yesterday’s scene; if Bai Xiqin died, Leng Yebai would surely kill her.
She gradually dragged the heavy suitcase back to her room bit by bit.
Until confirming being with Leng Yebai, she couldn’t leave the Song Family for now.
Thinking of this, a ruthless gleam flashed across Song Kerou’s face.
She quickly locked her room door from the inside, threw the quilt aside, and tore the mattress apart.
Rustling—
Song Kerou placed her valuables under her mattress, then restored the quilt to its original state.
The next step was wanton destruction.
Song Kerou wielded a wrench, vandalizing from top to bottom through the villa.
Finally, Song Kerou sat on the second-floor sofa with the wrench, ensuring the patrolling superpower users had reached the villa’s vicinity.
She messed up her clothes, then hit herself on the head with the wrench.
Blood immediately gushed out.
Song Kerou hurled the wrench at the window, shattering a hole in the glass and causing it to fall from the second floor.
"Help, help! Robbery!"
Song Kerou weakly shouted at the ceiling, then fell asleep on the sofa.
——
On the other side.
The family was still considering what to do.
If separated from the safe base, the Song Family could survive with their superpowers.
But they were worried about Song Wenwen; as a zombie she’ll be greatly troubled if high rank zombie brainwaves disturb her outside continuously.
If staying in the safe base, hiding in the villa wouldn’t easily attract attention due to the villa’s privacy, but Song Kerou might discover it.
The Song Family had completely lost trust in Song Kerou.
"Over the next week, Xiao Niu’s wound must be treated. If not, it won’t be easy to explain to him," said Song Ning.
He referred to Zhang Yiming.
"Let’s return to the base; once we find a reliable place, we’ll leave," Song Hongfei said, gazing towards the safe base.
Leaving directly wasn’t realistic because Zhang Yiming was there; at least for this week, Zhang Yiming wanted them at the safe base, otherwise he wouldn’t have let them bring Song Wenwen back.
Since so, we’ll hide inside the base for now, until Xiao Niu’s wound heals, then make other plans.
They were afraid of making Zhang Yiming angry.
He only needed to think, and he could control Xiao Lan Zombie; the Song family dreaded losing this control.
"But how to bring Wenwen back?"
Song’s mother gently held Song Wenwen’s decayed arm, caressing it soothingly without a hint of disdain.
Song Wenwen let out a low growl, soft, but upon passing the safe base gates, it would surely be detected.
The Gatekeeper would check inside the car.
"I have a way!" Song Hongfei suddenly slapped his thigh, thinking of a plan.
No time to explain to his wife and son, he only left a warning, "Don’t expose yourselves," then quickly walked towards the safe base.
After a simple check by the base’s Gatekeeper, Song Hongfei strode towards the base building.
