Chapter 613: Chapter 613: Sisterly Bonds
Song Kerou gazed gloomily at the door in front of her, wishing she could stare a hole through it.
With a click, the door opened.
Song Kerou’s face instantly softened, her eyes misted over, and the aura around her underwent a dramatic transformation.
Opening the door was Song Ning, who looked coldly at the frail girl before him, showing no trace of sympathy.
He had already seen through Song Kerou’s true nature, especially since Wenwen had become like this; he suspected Song Kerou was the culprit.
It infuriated him even more to see Song Kerou wearing a blue dress to gain sympathy again.
"Brother..."
Song Kerou choked on her words, weakly calling out to Song Ning, tears falling like a kite without a string.
"What are you doing here! I already told you that you’re no longer part of the Song Family, so why come back?"
Song Ning gave Song Kerou no kind look, his attitude was extremely hostile.
"I just missed mom and dad."
Song Kerou hung her head, allowing Song Ning to treat her with disdain, pitifully wiping the corners of her eyes.
Her frail body trembled helplessly, making her look pitiable.
"You dare bring that up!" Song Ning, ignoring Song Kerou’s fragile demeanor, said coldly, "I ask you, when you and Wenwen were out looking for supplies, didn’t you say she was completely devoured by zombies! Then why did I see Wenwen again that day? Why did you, on that day, return and tell mom you didn’t see me or dad?"
Song Ning’s eyes were as sharp as knives on Song Kerou, nearly slicing her to pieces.
He used to treat Song Kerou like his own sister, but repeated disappointment made him realize that the sister they adopted from the orphanage was not like his real sister.
She was too scheming.
Everything she did was for her own purposes; Song Kerou regarded the Song Family not as family, but as a means to create a better living condition for herself.
It was just exploitation.
If he discovered that Wenwen’s current state had anything to do with Song Kerou, he wouldn’t hesitate to dye his hands with blood.
His lungs were practically about to explode with anger.
"It was Wenwen, with her last breath, who told me she didn’t want you to find her, that she couldn’t be saved, and didn’t want us all to turn into zombies." Song Kerou, tears streaming down her face, looked at Song Ning and said, "That day, I didn’t tell mom about you and dad because I was afraid something would happen to her."
Song Kerou’s voice was weak as she spoke, appearing very sincere, but her eyes couldn’t help but glance towards the back of Song Ning.
Leng Yebai should be inside.
She thought her demeanor might stir a protective instinct in Leng Yebai.
Isn’t that how men always are?
They tend to favor the weaker side.
She had exploited this tactic thoroughly since she was young; tears could exchange for a piece of candy from a little friend, and now they could exchange for the protection of a man.
"Remember what you’ve said yourself, if I find out one day that you’re lying, I’ll personally chop you up and feed you to the zombies!"
Song Ning didn’t hide the impatience on his face, waving dismissively,
"Now, hurry up and leave! You’re an adult now, and when our family adopted you, we never expected you to know gratitude and repay us, so don’t come back in the future!"
Song Kerou seemed oblivious to Song Ning’s face full of disdain, instead she rushed inside and looked teary-eyed at Song Hongfei behind Song Ning, "Dad, Mom, didn’t you say you’d treat me well my whole life, and make me the Song Family’s little princess?"
Song Ning frowned as he watched Song Kerou recklessly crash into him, irritably stepping aside.
The perfume on Song Kerou was too overpowering, almost suffocating him.
Song Kerou, as she wished, made it into the living room, her eyes lingering on Leng Yebai for a moment before landing on the sumptuous meal on the table.
Inside the house, the aroma of the meal was even more intense.
"Song Ning is right, don’t come back, if it turns out that Wenwen’s predicament really has to do with you, you won’t need to wait for Song Ning to act; I’ll handle it myself."
Song Hongfei looked at Song Kerou with a cold face, a hint of regret in his eyes.
If they had known it would come to this, they shouldn’t have brought Song Kerou home from the orphanage.
"Dad, Mom, do you really not believe me?"
Song Kerou whispered, choking.
She was certain the Song Family couldn’t uncover what truly happened back then.
Unless Song Wenwen spoke of it herself.
But she had turned into a zombie, and no matter what, the Song Family couldn’t uncover the truth of what happened!
Perhaps Song Wenwen’s crystal core had already been extracted by a superpower user; how could she possibly speak the truth herself now!
"Go now! And don’t call us Mom and Dad anymore."
Song’s mother no longer wore a kind face as she did when facing Song Wenwen; instead, her face was cold.
She would never forget how Song Wenwen behaved when Song Ning and Song Hongfei didn’t come back for a whole night.
"Mom, are you really going to abandon me?" Song Kerou took two steps towards Song’s mother, trying to grab her sleeve.
"Yes, remember, this is my house, not yours; if you come again, it’s trespassing, and in this era, it’s only natural if I kill you!"
Song’s mother’s fingers flared with scorching fire, unhesitatingly lifting her hand towards Song Kerou.
She increasingly believed that Wenwen’s situation couldn’t be unrelated to Song Kerou, a woman’s intuition.
Wenwen was improving, and she was sure that one day Wenwen would recover her memory, and when that time came, the truth would surface.
She wouldn’t let Song Kerou die unnoticed; she wanted her to face the consequences when Wenwen regained consciousness!
This was a mother’s revenge.
"Brother Leng..." Song Kerou turned to look at Leng Yebai, pitifully, "Can you try to convince my Mom and Dad?"
Leng Yebai acted as if he hadn’t heard, exuding an icy chill.
Song Kerou took a couple of steps towards Leng Yebai, but his icy gaze stopped her in her tracks.
With that murderous look, she understood that if she took another step forward, she would surely die.
"Leave now!"
Song Hongfei spit out the three words, glancing at Song Ning.
Song Kerou was already very close to Wenwen’s room, and if Wenwen suddenly growled, Song Kerou would certainly hear it.
Song Ning was also a bit worried and walked over in large strides, grabbing Song Kerou by the arm and dragging her out the door.
Without a trace of mercy.
Song Kerou’s arm hurt from the pull, she wanted to break free but couldn’t shake off the grip of a High Rank Superpower User.
Just as she was about to be dragged out, Song Kerou caught sight of Zhu Cheng running over from the corner of her eye.
Zhu Cheng was the man who helped her rent the villa.
"Brother, Wenwen really wasn’t harmed by me, we were like sisters, how could I harm her, I always considered you my only family!"
Song Kerou’s voice involuntarily grew louder so that the people outside the door could hear.
Zhu Cheng heard it.
Bai Xiqin and Xiao Lan Zombie, who were hiding in the room, heard it too.
Bai Xiqin was in a peculiar state, feeling a telepathic connection with Xiao Lan Zombie.
Xiao Lan Zombie obediently lay still with closed eyes, allowing Bai Xiqin to maneuver her.
Bai Xiqin was about to continue communicating when she heard Song Kerou crying out something about sisterly bonds.
Bai Xiqin showed no reaction.
Xiao Lan Zombie, however, suddenly opened her eyes, which were filled with a bit of hostility from decay.
"Roar—"
Xiao Lan Zombie let out an angry roar from her throat, charging madly at the door.
Bang, bang, she crashed into the door, causing fierce trembling.
Wild emotions raged within Xiao Lan Zombie’s mind, yearning to shred the people in the living room into pieces, consuming them.
This was the first time Xiao Lan Zombie had gone berserk since entering the safe base.
