Jiang City Survivor Base.
Gu Man led a group of people to wait at the sentry post. Seeing the camouflage-green off-road vehicle in the distance, she revealed a look of excitement and thrill.
She quickly went up to greet them.
"How did it go? How did it go?"
"Did you catch Chu Liuyue?"
Seeing that the first thing the woman who came to greet him said was not to care about whether he was injured, but whether they caught Chu Liuyue, Zhang Cheng's face instantly darkened!
The few people behind him complained even more:
"Sister-in-law, it was hard enough for us just to escape back here."
"Yeah, we even lost several men."
"Your intelligence was wrong. That Chu Liuyue isn't a defensive type at all; she has an offensive ability."
From their overlapping chatter, Gu Man barely managed to piece together what had happened.
She revealed an expression of disbelief.
"How is that possible!?"
"Is that red potion really that powerful..." She felt a pang of regret; if she had known, she would have drunk it herself.
Zhang Cheng pushed through the crowd and came in front of Gu Man.
Suddenly, he grabbed her by the neck.
He lifted her slightly off the ground.
"Just to get revenge for you, do you have any idea how many brothers we lost this time?!"
"Ah, ah... ugh..." Gu Man was choked by the neck.
She couldn't speak.
A terrified expression appeared on her face.
Seeing this, the others quickly tried to persuade him:
"Boss, let it go."
"Yeah, Brother Cheng, sister-in-law still has a biological uncle. I heard he's a high-ranking official at the Kyoto Survivor Base..."
Hearing this, Zhang Cheng suppressed his anger.
He let go of his hand.
Gu Man immediately gasped heavily for fresh air, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.
Lowering her head, a flash of resentment and malice passed through her eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that after separating from Senior Yan, she and Lao Yu's group were schemed against by Zhang Cheng, how could she have ever given herself to a man like this?!
Before the zombie outbreak, they were nothing more than prisoners locked up in jail.
Later, somehow, they all gained special abilities.
This survivor base was originally established by her father, but during a mission to scavenge for supplies, her father was surrounded by zombies and lost his life.
After that, Zhang Cheng usurped the power.
Fortunately, there were still some of the Gu family's original connections and subordinates in this survivor base.
Gu Man didn't live well, but she didn't live poorly either.
At the very least, on the outside, she was still the aloof and pampered young lady who needed to be flattered.
She hated Zhang Cheng.
She hated his vulgarity, thinking he just had a stroke of dumb luck to become the boss of the base.
She hated Zhou Yuan.
She hated him for losing his mind—instead of protecting her and escaping, he had to dive right back into the research institute at the heart of the zombie stronghold.
She also hated Yan Qingdu.
Her Senior Yan had not only become a stranger, but he was even chasing after that woman named Chu Liuyue.
The Chu Liuyue she hated to death!
Back then, she was able to get rid of one Chu Yue.
Could she really not kill off a Chu Liuyue now?!!
She didn't expect Zhang Cheng to be such a piece of trash.
He couldn't even handle this.
After Zhang Cheng's emotions stabilized, he felt somewhat fearful of Gu Man's uncle far away in Kyoto.
After all, before the zombies arrived, he was the governor of Sunan Province. After the zombie outbreak, he managed to smoothly escape to the safest Kyoto area and even became a high-ranking official at the Kyoto Survivor Base.
If Gu Man's father hadn't died, the Gu brothers would have each held a base in their hands.
Prominent families.
They really will always be prominent families.
He reined in his emotions and comforted her:
"I'm sorry, Manman, this time it was my fault."
"Next time, I will definitely kill Chu Liuyue."
Gu Man gritted her teeth and said, "No, I want you to bring her back alive. I want to kill her with my own hands."
In the distance.
In the crowd, Lao Yu and Sister Wan looked at each other in dismay.
Just as they wanted to speak some words of justice, they were stopped by Brother Zhong.
"There are over twenty superhumans in the base in total."
"Our movements are all being monitored. Gu Man is ruthless and merciless, don't be impulsive."
A trace of grief flashed through Sister Wan's eyes.
"If we had known it would be like this, we shouldn't have brought Gu Man along in the first place."
"Then Pei Ruoxue wouldn't have died."
Yes, the only ordinary person in their squad was already dead.
Pei Ruoxue was presented to Zhang Cheng as a gift by Gu Man, but unexpectedly, his appetite was huge.
How could an ordinary person satisfy his demands?
What he wanted was Gu Man.
Under the pressure and threat of power, Gu Man still chose survival.
As for Pei Ruoxue, who had already become Zhang Cheng's woman, how could she continue to remain safe and sound? Gu Man threw her to the men in the superhuman squad.
The ending was tragic.
And the reason why Brother Zhong, Lao Yu, Sister Wan, and the others still had value to exist was that they were also superhumans.
Zhang Cheng needed to expand his forces.
Knowing that they only submitted on the surface but were secretly looking for an opportunity to escape, he sent people to guard them strictly and monitor them.
Gu Man threw another fit and was then coaxed away by Zhang Cheng.
The crowd also dispersed.
Brother Zhong pushed his glasses up and looked at his two companions.
"Don't sleep tonight."
Lao Yu asked in surprise, "Why?"
Brother Zhong smiled.
"They are coming tonight."
...
Late at night.
The people stationed at the sentry post suddenly saw a large horde of zombies surging over, and quickly blew the horn.
"There's a zombie tide, attention! There's a zombie tide!"
Zhang Cheng was woken up from his deep sleep, looking displeased.
Beside him, Gu Man was still fast asleep.
Zhang Cheng shook her and said, "Manman, something seems to have happened at the base. I need to go out and handle it."
"Mmm." Gu Man didn't respond.
Zhang Cheng cursed as he put on his clothes:
"Could it be that Zhou Yuan and Yan Qingdu have come for revenge?"
As soon as Gu Man heard these two names, she instantly woke up.
She scrambled out of bed.
Her eyes were very bright.
"Is Chu Liuyue here too?"
"Quick, take me with you!"
Fifteen minutes later.
The people at the sentry post saw Zhang Cheng and Gu Man and immediately saluted:
"Boss, Sister-in-law."
"What's the situation?" Zhang Cheng asked.
"It's a zombie tide, but it's very strange. They didn't attack our base. They just turned and left about fifty meters in front of the camp."
"Left?" Zhang Cheng was astonished.
Gu Man looked disappointed.
"What? Didn't you say Zhou Yuan and Senior Yan—ah, I mean Yan Qingdu—came?"
"Where's Chu Liuyue?"
The man at the sentry post shook his head.
"Ah, who are they? All I saw were zombies."
"I didn't see a single living person."
Zhang Cheng let out a long sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness, it was just a false alarm."
Just as he was about to relax.
A raging fire suddenly erupted at the side gate of the camp in the distance, and the originally heavily guarded gate instantly became lax.
Soon, someone came jogging over.
"Bad news! Boss, the side gate has been destroyed."
"Many ordinary people have escaped, and, and some superhumans ran away too..."
Gu Man immediately spoke up:
"It's Sister Wan, it's her! She has a fire-type ability. She must have escaped during the chaos."
"And those ordinary people, isn't it good enough to stay alive in the base? They just had to run out to feed the zombies, what a bunch of idiots!"
