Chapter 127: Stuck Tight

Leng Yebai heard Brother Shui’s answer, frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked at Bai Xiqin.

Bai Xiqin’s expression remained unchanged, unsurprised by such a response.

A trace of heartache flashed in Leng Yebai’s eyes.

Such a Xiao Niu must have gone through unimaginable hardships in the past.

So much so that when she heard such things, she didn’t show any emotional fluctuations.

"Take us to where you live." Bai Xiqin’s voice was very calm.

It’s very inconvenient to act freely in a safe base.

Brother Shui glanced at Bai Xiqin, didn’t understand what she meant, but nodded and agreed.

The four fat men’s eyes flickered slightly when they heard they were going to that place.

Brother Shui squinted, his eyes bursting with a tinge of green light, like a Demon from Hell.

Brother Shui had a place to live in the safe base, but it was inconvenient for... eating; there was also a place in the building near the safe base.

For the time being, the area around the safe base was safe, and the zombies had been cleared several times. Occupying a place in the buildings near the safe base was very convenient for "having meals."

The five fat men, bruised and swollen, walked in front, while Bai Xiqin and the others followed behind.

Afraid of losing face, Brother Shui led the way through small paths, which suited Bai Xiqin’s intention.

After several turns, they exited through a small gate of the safe base.

The nearby residential buildings were sparse; occasionally, you could see a few people hurrying back to the base, and not many Shadows of zombies.

After leaving the safe base, Brother Shui led Bai Xiqin and the others to a small courtyard.

The safe base was initially located in the suburbs; this small courtyard was a farmhouse, with some flowers and plants planted in the yard.

After the energy tide hit, all the plants became more vibrant.

The farmhouse had grown quite a bit of colorful flora, and on the stone-paved ground, some resilient wild grass could occasionally be seen.

This farmhouse looked like an idyllic paradise in anime, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, calm and clear.

In such an anime-like courtyard, numerous heinous acts were witnessed.

Here, killing was as easy as slaughtering a chick...

The door of the farmhouse was locked with a large lock, and Brother Shui’s hand, glowing with yellow light, pressed onto the lock.

With a click, the lock opened.

"Please, come in."

Brother Shui bowed courteously, concealing the cunning in his eyes, and let Bai Xiqin and the others enter first.

Bai Xiqin smirked, unimpressed by his gaze, and pulled Bai Yifan into the courtyard.

Bai Yifan’s heart was pounding because, after learning their purpose of buying children, he couldn’t suppress the urge to leave these people quickly.

But he couldn’t just leave his sister and brother-in-law here alone!

As a man, Bai Yifan decided he would protect them well.

Meanwhile, he hoped they would protect him too!

The yard was planted with a variety of flowers and plants; a fat cat lazily basked in the sun, looking quite at ease.

This type of yard was common in the countryside; his grandfather’s yard looked just like this.

Seeing this, Bai Yifan relaxed a little.

In broad daylight, there was nothing to fear.

Even if there were ghosts, they should haunt those fat guys!

After Bai Xiqin and the others entered, a vicious expression appeared on Brother Shui’s face.

"Wang Cai! Come out! It’s meal time!"

Brother Shui’s voice carried a bit of madness; the faces of the four fat men behind him also showed a sinister look.

Leng Yebai’s Thunder Ability had made their lives unbearable; for a moment, they were scared and planned to mend their ways.

But, having tasted human flesh, how could they possibly change their ways!

Their human nature had been replaced by that of beasts.

For them, a temporary compromise was possible, but laying down the knife and mending their ways was impossible.

As soon as Brother Shui finished speaking, a huge black wolfdog sprang out of the house fiercely.

Its eyes emitted a faint green glow, and its black fur was sleek and shiny.

It was said that animals that had eaten human flesh had green eyes.

The wolfdog roared and charged straight towards Bai Yifan.

Bai Yifan’s first reaction wasn’t to run but to glance at Bai Xiqin.

Seeing his sister still standing there firmly, with no trace of emotion on her face.

Bai Yifan’s pounding heart instantly calmed down.

With his sister around!

There’s nothing to be afraid of!

A steel needle, emitting cold frost, pierced into the wolfdog’s temple.

Before the wolfdog could even let out a whimper, it died.

Its huge body was still in mid-air when the steel needle had already flown out from its brain.

The wolfdog’s soul had already met God; its massive body, due to strong inertia, continued to lunge forward.

Bai Yifan watched as the wolfdog’s figure grew larger, then it crashed onto his face.

With a thud.

He felt as though his waist was broken.

"Ugh—"

Bai Yifan felt his body embedded into the ground, creating a pit.

One that couldn’t be dug out.

"Wang Cai, get up and bite them to death!"

Brother Shui glared at Leng Yebai and the others, completely unaware of the blood slowly seeping from the black wolfdog’s head.

Bai Xiqin didn’t waste words with Brother Shui and the others, lightly waved her hand, and the courtyard door closed tightly, locking Brother Shui and his group inside.

"You, you guys, did you kill Wang Cai?"

Brother Shui stared in disbelief at Bai Yifan who rose from the ground.

The black wolfdog lay motionless on the ground, with blood faintly visible flowing out from its head.

"Is it her, Purple Rose?"

Bai Xiqin, under the cover of clothing, took out a photo from space.

The person in the photo had a pure and captivating smile — it was Zhao Mimi.

"...Yes."

Brother Shui and the others stepped back, their pupils slightly contracted.

In the safe base, these people wouldn’t blatantly kill them.

Outside, it was a different story.

He thought that by luring them out, he could rely on Wang Cai to turn them into a meal.

He never expected that the mighty Wang Cai couldn’t withstand even a single move from them.

"Do you know anything else?" Bai Xiqin asked again.

"No, I don’t know. My only task was to bring some children for her to look at; she was very picky. Not many she took a liking to, and I have no idea what her selection criteria are."

Brother Shui shrunk his neck, looking at Leng Yebai with caution.

The four people behind him all appeared frightened, wishing a door could appear behind them, so they could swiftly escape.

"If you don’t know, then forget it." Bai Xiqin waved her hand, looking at Brother Shui and the five others with an icy gaze.

Her eyes were as if she was looking at a bunch of dead people.

People who know nothing have no value to stay.

Leng Yebai saw Bai Xiqin’s hand gesture, stepped forward, and his fingers slightly lifted, with strong purple electric light spilling from his fingertips.

Bai Yifan swallowed, a little nervous.

This would be his first time seeing his family kill someone.

Killing zombies and killing people felt different.

Zombies were hideous, mere moving rotten flesh.

Bai Yifan didn’t have any psychological burden, apart from disgust, from killing them.

As for killing people, Bai Yifan couldn’t get over that mental hurdle.

As a Young Pioneer, it was somewhat...hard to accept.

"Wait! Could I handle it myself?"

In the farmhouse, a soft and sweet voice from a little girl echoed.
