Chapter 617: Chapter 617: Rules
"Since this is a misunderstanding, let’s put an end to it here. Fighting is not allowed inside the safe base."
The Base Commander glanced at everyone, exuding a faint sense of authority.
Song Ning looked at Song Kerou with a face full of hatred, ready to rush over and give her a fatal blow at any moment.
His poor sister was indeed harmed by Song Kerou, and to think that their family had protected Song Kerou well after the apocalypse!
Song Ning, eyes red, raised his hand to attack Song Kerou again.
"Song Ning!"
Song Hongfei called out to Song Ning in a deep voice.
Song’s mother also reached out to grab Song Ning’s arm.
They also wanted to kill Song Kerou, but this was the safe base.
No matter what, they cannot openly kill someone inside the base.
Even if their family might not settle in the safe base, Bai Xiqin is here, she can soothe Wenwen.
Bai Xiqin also has a relationship with Leng Yebai.
The Base Commander is also especially powerful.
They definitely cannot kill openly; otherwise, they might not be able to stay in the safe base!
Song Hongfei understood the Base Commander, who seemed serious but was actually a person who clearly distinguished right from wrong.
If they wanted to kill Song Kerou, fine, but it shouldn’t be in the open.
They must not openly violate the rules inside the base.
Everyone looked at the Base Commander standing in the center, full of awe.
Before there were various abilities, the Base Commander was the leader at the top, and nobody ignored his words.
And he was also a very upright person who would protect everyone in the safe base!
The Base Commander didn’t say another word, striding away with long legs, leaving everyone with a reliable back view.
"Let’s go!"
Zhu Cheng saw the Base Commander leave and, without hesitation, hoisted the frantic Song Kerou onto his shoulder and quickly left.
If they didn’t leave now, there would be no chance later.
The many Superpower Users also began to disperse gradually.
The safe base gained a new topic of conversation.
A fairly decent-looking lunatic accused Song Hongfei’s family of having zombies and was almost beaten to death by Song Ning.
Fortunately, the Base Commander stepped in to save the day; otherwise, a lunatic could have died.
Song Ning held back his anger, turned back to the house, went directly to Xiao Lan Zombie’s room, and saw Xiao Lan Zombie sitting dumbly on a chair, motionless, with eyes full of regret.
Knowing this outcome, he shouldn’t have left Song Wenwen to perform the task alone in the first place.
Thinking back to when he told Song Wenwen to protect Song Kerou, who didn’t have superpowers, he wanted to punch himself!
Xiao Lan Zombie’s decayed eyes fell on the desolate Song Ning, the pupils moved slightly, through a glimpse of emotion not belonging to a zombie, and quickly returned to calm.
"Song Ning, you—"
Song’s mother also pushed the door open, seeing Song Ning’s desolation, wanted to say something.
"I understand, take action outside the safe base." Song Ning wiped his eyes forcefully, nodding and speaking softly.
In hindsight, he had been too impulsive.
Song Kerou shouldn’t die so easily; she should taste the same pain as his sister!
Moreover, this is a safe base, and establishing order within it wasn’t easy; openly killing someone, it was already great that the Base Commander hadn’t punished him.
In the past, had Song Ning killed someone in front of the Base Commander, he would have already been expelled from the safe base.
"As long as you understand!"
Song’s mother saw Song Ning’s nod, and she sighed slightly in relief.
She also wanted to kill Song Kerou, but most importantly, it was for Wenwen.
Wenwen listened to Bai Xiqin, and for the sake of Wenwen, they had to live peacefully in the safe base for a while.
Everything was for Wenwen.
In the living room.
"Cough cough, daughter-in-law, could you help open the window a little?"
A cold, stern face appeared at the window on the first floor, waving towards those in the living room.
The glass on the first floor was such that it couldn’t be seen from the outside; the Base Commander was merely guessing.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai happened to be in the living room and saw the Base Commander.
However, the Base Commander was calling Song Hongfei his daughter-in-law.
Song Hongfei: ...
Bai Xiqin was about to get up when Song Hongfei had already opened the window.
"Cough cough, about today’s incident..."
The Base Commander cleared his throat, ready to explain, but Song Hongfei just waved his hand.
"I understand, if I were you, I’d do the same." Song Hongfei sighed, "We still have to live in the safe base for a while, if someday we don’t need to be here, then we can turn the world upside down!"
Base Commander: ...
Is it okay to say such things in front of him?
The Base Commander felt a bit guilty and could only silently climb through the window, whispering, "As long as no one else notices, I have no objections to how you kill her."
Song Hongfei looked at the Base Commander with surprise.
Ever since the establishment, the Base Commander has always adhered to his principles; it was the first time he saw him so blatantly allow someone to break the rules.
"Hmm!"
Song Hongfei nodded, though he still couldn’t find joy in his heart.
He still deeply regretted it.
Why didn’t they choose someone else as their adopted daughter?
It led to their daughter ending up like this, suffering such grievances.
"Come, let’s continue eating! Xiao Niu, have some more."
At this moment, Song’s mother came to the living room with Song Ning, leading Xiao Lan Zombie, a smile on her face.
But there was an unshakeable sadness in her smile.
"Roar—"
Like before, upon seeing Bai Xiqin, Xiao Lan Zombie let out a low growl towards her.
Unlike before, Xiao Lan Zombie, besides growling, broke free from Song Ning and Song’s mother’s arms, approached Bai Xiqin, and proactively nudged her with its head.
As if acting spoiled.
Bai Xiqin reached out and gently stroked Xiao Lan Zombie’s hair, with a smile on her face.
On Xiao Lan Zombie’s decayed face, it was no longer as dull as before, and you could clearly see its decayed eyes bending slightly.
As if... it was smiling.
"Xiao Niu, how, how did you do that?"
Song’s mother’s gaze fixated on Song Wenwen, immediately noticing the slight bend in Song Wenwen’s eyes.
With too much decayed flesh on her face, the little dimples couldn’t be seen, but Song’s mother already imagined Wenwen’s smile.
It must be, beautiful.
"I just tried a new way to communicate with Xiao Lan, and soon she might learn how to absorb the crystal core," Bai Xiqin said.
When Song Kerou knocked on the door, Bai Xiqin tried using the "energy" in her brain to communicate with Xiao Lan Zombie.
After several attempts, she finally succeeded.
However, her brainwaves were too weak, completely inferior to Zhang Yiming, or even Xiao Lan Zombie.
Communicating with Xiao Lan Zombie was barely adequate, but it was still better than speaking face to face.
With Bai Xiqin’s "energy," Xiao Lan Zombie understood the ’sisterly love’ from Song Kerou outside and went berserk.
If no one had interrupted, her communication with Xiao Lan Zombie would have been greater.
Humans also have brainwaves, but they are not as proficient in using them as zombies.
The legend of a human soul is unseen, untouchable, with only memory and a transparent entity.
Brainwaves are likewise unseen, untouchable, with no entity.
The last time she inexplicably lost her memory, it was actually the disappearance of part of her brainwaves.
Using the feeling from last time, she successfully felt Xiao Lan Zombie’s violent emotions and, after comforting her a bit, made Xiao Lan Zombie really like Bai Xiqin.
During Xiao Lan Zombie’s violent emotional state, Bai Xiqin was the first to calm her emotions gently.
"That is truly wonderful!"
Song’s mother was overwhelmed with joy.
This meant that the chances of Song Wenwen becoming a High Rank Zombie or even a Zombie King had increased!
