On the stage stood a somewhat familiar man, delivering a passionate speech. If the subject of the speech hadn’t been herself, Fu Ke would have applauded.
After watching Xie Changyi for a moment, Fu Ke suddenly realized— wasn’t this the companion of the man she had discovered spying on her when Liu Guo’an came looking for her, and the one she had taught a lesson with her mental power?
Fu Ke knew very well that the apocalypse had nothing to do with her, even though she had experienced something miraculous: rebirth from the middle of the apocalypse to before it.
Although reborn, she returned with her zombie king physique.
But others didn’t know, especially now that there weren’t even fifth-tier zombies yet and Fu Ke acted no differently from a human.
Coupled with Xie Changyi’s words, many people would suspect that it was really because of Fu Ke that they were experiencing the terrifying apocalypse.
Xie Changyi’s words left not only others speechless, but even Lu Xun was rendered speechless.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. From the beginning, Fu Ke seemed to know many things they didn’t, and her ability level was extremely high from the start; for example, her knowledge of water power was undeniable.
“You say the end of the world is because of Fu Ke, do you have any evidence?” Qin Long, who had been silent from the beginning, suddenly asked.
Liu Guo’an looked at Qin Long in surprise. Qin Long was considered the person in charge of this base, and his supernatural abilities were extremely strong. Xie Changyi wouldn’t dare to openly oppose Qin Long.
It could be said that his current situation of being tied up here was tacitly approved by Qin Long; otherwise, Xie Changyi wouldn’t have had the audacity to tie him up directly and gather everyone from the entire base here.
At first, Liu Guo’an couldn’t understand it. Because Fu Ke was so close to Qin Long before, even if Fu Ke was a zombie, shouldn’t Qin Long be the one most lenient towards Fu Ke, as long as Fu Ke didn’t harm humans? He originally thought that Qin Long wouldn’t step forward. But unexpectedly, Qin Long spoke up at this moment.
“Evidence? Of course I don’t have any evidence, but isn’t Fu Ke the best evidence?” Xie Changyi was also somewhat surprised that Qin Long would speak but still answered with a smile.
“Hehe…” The skinny man, carrying a large sword, slowly walked through the crowd. He was unhurried, as if taking a leisurely stroll.
The crowd gradually made way for him, and the skinny man squinted, as if walking on a red carpet.
Facing this former captain, Xie Changyi was indeed a little nervous. And the smile on his face gradually disappeared as he watched the skinny man slowly approach.
The skinny man only slept at the base at night and stayed with Fu Ke during the day. Xie Changyi deliberately waited until the skinny man left before making his move, but he didn’t expect the skinny man to return.
At this moment, not only Xie Changyi’s muscles gradually tensed up, and he had already assumed a defensive posture, but even Deng Yunfei and the other two standing to the side also stood beside Xie Changyi, watching the skinny man warily.
‘Clang!’ The skinny man’s large sword slammed heavily on the stage, making a crisp sound.
There were very few people who didn’t recognize the skinny man. Those who had been wavering because of Xie Changyi’s words looked at the skinny man with some horror.
Because everyone knows that Skinny came back with Fu Ke. Since Fu Ke is a zombie, what about Skinny?
Even if Skinny isn’t a zombie, he’s been hanging out with zombies!
Skinny smiled at Xie Changyi: “My Xiao Bai won’t take the blame for this!” His gaze flickered towards Qin Long.
Qin Long’s eyes flickered slightly when he saw Skinny. He then fell silent.
“Skinny, I’m letting it slide because you used to lead our superpowered team. But Fu Ke is a zombie, that’s an indisputable fact, isn’t it? We’re human, we’re the real family, aren’t we?” Xie Changyi looked at Skinny sincerely.
“Tsk tsk, who’s family with you? My family, besides Xiao Bai, is only…” Skinny’s words trailed off. The Brother Long he wanted to refer to wasn’t the Brother Long he would be thought to be referring to.
Before he could finish speaking, Skinny, unconcerned, said, “As for you, go cool off somewhere else! Let me tell you, Xiao Bai is indeed a zombie, but the apocalypse has absolutely nothing to do with Xiao Bai. If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll make sure you can never open your mouth again!” The skinny man’s voice wasn’t quiet, sending chills down many people’s spines.
Xie Changyi, seething with anger, narrowed his eyes, struggling to suppress his rage; his face looking even more congested than before. “Since you want to associate with zombies, our base doesn’t welcome you. Please leave.”
“Oh, when did this base become your personal fiefdom?” The skinny man easily jumped onto the stage, walked over, and swung his broadsword fiercely at Liu Guo’an.
No one reacted to this action, but some couldn’t help but gasp.
However, the skinny man only managed to cut the ropes binding Liu Guo’an.
Liu Guo’an stood up and stretched his limbs.
Liu Guo’an nodded gratefully to the skinny man and walked to Lu Xun’s side: “Use the megaphone.” Xie Changyi gritted his teeth; if it weren’t for his reason, he would have already burned the skinny man to the ground.
Meanwhile, Lu Xun had already handed the megaphone to Liu Guo’an.
Liu Guo’an stood on the platform, looking at the people below: “Fu Ke is indeed a zombie, but no one can deny that Fu Ke has helped our base a great deal. None of us know the origin of the apocalypse, but I think if the virus really originated from Fu Ke, she wouldn’t have needed to help us.”
“I understand everyone’s fear and dread of zombies, so Fu Ke has promised me she’ll leave this place.” Liu Guo’an said, feeling a mix of emotions.
He sighed heavily through the megaphone.
For a moment, the base was eerily quiet. Liu Guo’an suddenly remembered the time when the Phoenix supposedly wanted to burn down the base. Although he had never seen the Phoenix, he still remembered the soaring temperatures and the signs of melting in many places after things returned to normal… and Du Weiwei’s tragic state.
If it weren’t for Fu Ke, they might all have been burned alive. Liu Guo’an smiled bitterly.
“Leave? What will she do after she leaves? Continue to harm others?” Xie Changyi’s voice rang out in the silence. The weather was getting warmer, and the people standing below were becoming restless.
“Don’t let Fu Ke leave? Then what do you want?” Liu Guo’an asked sarcastically, “Do you want to kill Fu Ke? Then go ahead.”
Even if they didn’t know what the phoenix was like, according to many phoenix legends, it was not something an ordinary person could deal with. Although they didn’t know what Fu Ke had done to the phoenix, the phoenix was indeed gone. And Fu Ke was unharmed.
Xie Changyi was speechless at Liu Guo’an’s words, his face becoming even uglier. He glared at Lu Xun, who was still laughing, and then said, “Fu Ke took our human’s treasure. She can leave, but she must return the treasure to us!”
As soon as he finished speaking, many people’s hearts stirred.
Treasure, many people could guess what it was.
Qiu Yingying, Feng Han and the others looked at each other, and they also guessed what it was. Even some time after the apocalypse, Fu Ke was still able to produce so many impossible fresh fruits and vegetables. Clearly…
“A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime,” even if they didn’t know that Fu Ke was a zombie. This scene would likely play out again.
Fu Ke slowly cracked open the shell of the hairy crab, took out the crab meat, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in her mouth, squinting her eyes as she savored the deliciousness she had never tasted before.
Before the apocalypse in her previous life, she couldn’t afford to buy hairy crabs, so naturally she had never eaten them. Not only hairy crabs, but many, many other things she had never eaten.
Fortunately, the space had all kinds of seafood, and she could eat whatever she wanted now. Of course, there were still some things she couldn’t eat after the apocalypse.
Suddenly, Fu Ke felt a little regretful.
“Skinny has been gone for so long and hasn’t come back yet. Could something have happened to him, Sister Fu?” Since meeting Fu Ke, Qiu Yi had never called Skinny “Master” again.
But seeing that Skinny had been gone for so long, Qiu Yi couldn’t help but worry.
“Don’t worry, Skinny is fine.” Fu Ke ate while watching the farce in the base, a trace of sadness flashing in her blood-red eyes. In fact, she had already thought that this would happen, but she still couldn’t help but hold on to a sliver of hope.
It was undeniable that she hadn’t considered Zhang Zhongmin’s departure beforehand, which was why she thought reverting to her zombie identity wasn’t a big deal.
But fate played a cruel trick; Zhang Zhongmin left just before she returned.
“Is Brother worried about Uncle Skinny?” Ya Ya blinked and tugged at Qiu Yi, asking.
Qiu Yi paused, then shook his head: “No.”
Lan Zhi, standing nearby, made a hoarse sound, as if laughing.
“…” Qiu Yi glanced at Lan Zhi, who then turned his back to him.
Fu Ke clapped her hands: “Alright, you two stay here obediently. Looks like we have to leave early.”
Hearing Fu Ke say they had to leave early, but seeing that Lan Sheng hadn’t arrived yet, Lan Zhi became anxious, his hoarse voice becoming rapid.
“Don’t worry, I’ll have someone wait for Lan Sheng here. I just… don’t want to take action against this base.” Fu Ke smiled, saying nonchalantly.
After her rebirth, this base had countless connections with Fu Ke; if she could, Fu Ke really didn’t want to attack the D City base.
Using her mental power, she levitated in the air and quickly reached the plaza.
“If you want to snatch something from me, you’d better see if you have the ability,” Fu Ke’s voice rang out. Everyone looked up at Fu Ke, who stood high above them, looking down at them.
She stood in mid-air, arms crossed, her blood-red eyes reflecting the light. She looked down at them as if they were ants.
Xie Changyi didn’t dare to attack Fu Ke at all. He instinctively knew that Fu Ke was responsible for Mao Xinhua’s terrible headache and cold sweat.
Those blood-red eyes seemed to have cast a spell on everyone; the entire plaza froze, looking up at Fu Ke, not daring to move.
“As for the apocalypse, I, Fu Ke, have always been responsible for my actions. The apocalypse has nothing to do with me. If I really wanted you all to become zombies, none of you would escape.” Fu Ke’s words at this moment were not empty boasting.
However, Liu Guo’an remembered that Zhang Zhongmin had bought food from Fu Ke earlier. If Fu Ke really wanted to deal with them, they would have become zombies long ago.
“You want me to leave? I will leave. But from now on, the D City base has nothing to do with me, Fu Ke. If you still want to mess with me, don’t blame me for being impolite,” Fu Ke said coldly.
Then she looked at Qin Long in the crowd, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes, and sighed softly, “Skinny, let’s go.”
Skinny, carrying a large sword, jumped off the stage and followed Fu Ke without saying a word.
Lu Xun was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.
“Lu Xun, you stay. It’ll probably be a while before someone named Lan Sheng comes looking for us. When that happens, bring Lan Sheng with you to find me,” Fu Ke stopped Lu Xun.
“If you want to attack Lu Xun, don’t blame me for being heartless and flattening this D City base.” The pressure of a fourteenth-level zombie instantly erupted.
However, Fu Ke only wanted to scare them, not actually force them to their deaths.
Except for Xie Changyi on the stage, who suddenly knelt down, coughed up blood, and fainted, everyone else was just pale-faced, sweat pouring from their bodies even though it wasn’t very hot.
Everyone’s legs were weak, and they only kept standing by sheer willpower. Little did they know, it was just Fu Ke intentionally showing mercy.
Lu Xun and the skinny guy didn’t seem to notice anything, but seeing their reactions, Lu Xun understood what Fu Ke had done. Didn’t they see the fear in everyone’s eyes when they looked at Fu Ke even more than when they got to know she was a zombie?
At this point, even if Fu Ke wanted to stay, these people probably wouldn’t dare say anything.
She left without warning; and before the people at the D City base could react, Fu Ke had already left with his men. Liu Guo’an felt extremely uneasy.
He suddenly had a feeling that letting Fu Ke leave was a mistake. He was momentarily confused, but he really couldn’t let Fu Ke stay. What happened before was perfect proof. Liu Guo’an wiped his face and smiled bitterly.
He didn’t have Zhang Zhongmin’s decisiveness; leading a base was extremely difficult, and he could sense that many people were resentful of him.
After Fu Ke left, Qin Long leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, the suppressed fear still making his heart pound. Fu Ke hadn’t given Qin Long any special treatment, so his feelings were the same as everyone else’s.
Suddenly, an image flashed through his mind.
A girl in a white dress sitting on a high-rise building, her small feet swinging back and forth, a sweet smile on her fair face, and her deep dimples attracted Qin Long’s eyes.
Who was this?
Fu Ke? But something seemed different?
