Chapter 252: Chapter 252: The Psychiatric Hospital Director

“Bang!”

Bai Xiqin and Liu Jing extended their fingers simultaneously, conjuring an ice wall together.

The shadow slammed hard into the ice wall, emitting a spine-tingling sound.

Red blood instantly moistened the ice wall, and through the transparent ice wall, one could vaguely see a face, veiled in black blood, with red blood slowly trickling down.

Clearly a madman who eats zombies, yet red blood flowed within.

His face, a mixture of red and black blood, sported a scraggly beard as he gave the Bai Family behind the ice wall a bizarre smile.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The madman seemed impervious to pain; despite having his head bloodied, he continued to slam it fiercely against the ice wall.

Red blood flowed down the ice wall, turning it entirely blood-soaked in no time.

“Ah!”

Bai Yifan couldn’t hold it in, shouted, and quickly turned his head away.

A golden light on his body shone even brighter.

The yellow glow seemed to pierce the madman’s eyes, causing the banging sound to momentarily pause.

“Heh heh heh!”

The scraggly-bearded madman flashed a grin at Bai Yifan, who was emitting yellow light.

He seemed to have discovered something amusing.

On the other side of the ice wall, an even more intense light erupted, brighter than Bai Yifan’s by threefold.

Mental patients seem to have a higher chance of becoming superpower users.

They don’t need deliberate crystal core absorption to acquire powers stronger than others.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The madman’s collision against the ice wall grew louder, to the point that one could even hear the faint sound of it cracking.

Cracks spread densely across the ice wall, as if on the verge of collapse.

“Fall back!”

Bai Xiqin and Liu Jing pressed their fingers against the ice wall, instantly repairing the dense cracks.

On the other side, the entire ice wall had become so blood-soaked it was impossible to see through it.

Just barely, a shadow could be seen repeatedly crashing against the wall through the red blood.

Leng Yebai placed his hand on the ice wall, and purple lightning instantly spread across it.

Following the ice wall, the purple lightning also spread onto the madman.

“Heh heh heh!”

The madman behind the ice wall was unaffected, continuing to crash into it.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound was loud, and one could even hear bones snapping.

Even with blood everywhere, the madman kept banging his head against the wall relentlessly.

“He… won’t break through, will he?”

Bai Yifan gripped his dagger tightly, eyes fixed on the shadow within the blood-red wall.

Bai Xiqin shook her head, frowning.

The madman was indeed formidable; although his mind wasn’t sharp, he didn’t even know how to enhance his superpower.

Yet he was incredibly strong, much stronger than Bai Yifan.

In the post-apocalyptic world, that was truly remarkable.

Not only reaching the second rank of superpower users, but the zombie virus couldn’t even mutate him.

With such power, he would be outstanding in any safety base.

No wonder, in the previous world, when Fire Phoenix Safety Base people came here for resources, none survived.

Just this madman’s strength alone could annihilate several superpower squads from Fire Phoenix Safety Base.

Not to mention the vengeful hand that managed to lock up this madman.

But their family isn’t ordinary!

Even a second-rank madman without regard for his life or fear of injury couldn’t defeat a third-rank superpower user.

The gap between them was more than a mere chasm.

“Then let’s hurry up and… tie him up!”

Bai Yifan ultimately refrained from suggesting they kill him swiftly.

He was a madman, without self-awareness; even if he killed someone unknowingly, Bai Yifan felt he couldn’t outright sentence him to death.

He was just a high school student; killing zombies was already his utmost limit.

Murdering someone, he really couldn’t bring himself to try.

If possible, he didn’t want the apocalypse at all, just to remain at the Bai Family’s lowest rung, as a hardworking member, the ideal brother to his sister!

Bai Xiqin and Liu Jing exchanged glances, with Liu Jing stepping back slightly, letting the frost in her hand lower gradually.

Bai Xiqin transformed the frost in her hand into an invisible control, making a gripping motion with her fingers.

Bang!

The madman finally shattered the ice wall with his relentless crashing.

The madman, eyes glowing a vivid green, charged straight at Bai Xiqin, closest to him.

But at twenty centimeters from Bai Xiqin, he couldn’t advance a single step further.

Bound by an invisible control that heavily suppressed him, no matter how he struggled, he couldn’t break free.

Leng Yebai reached out, dragging the madman in, tossing him directly onto the bed.

The bed was covered in black blood, and a half-eaten zombie still lay limply upon it.

“Quick, tie him up!”

Bai Yifan gritted his teeth, filled with fear to the extreme, yet rushed to Leng Yebai’s side, helping to tie up the madman by pulling out the bandage.

“Don’t tuck the bandage in, just tie it tight!”

Bai Anhai also entered, seeing Bai Yifan trying to tuck the bandage in, he grabbed it and tied it tightly, making a firm knot.

Not a chance of escape.

The madman made biting sounds with his teeth, his eyes wide as though ready to snap at someone’s throat at any moment.

The three of them joined forces and finally tied up the madman.

Once tied, Bai Xiqin released the controlling force she had on him.

Upon regaining freedom of movement, the madman squirmed wildly, trying to break free.

“Is this rope sturdy?”

Bai Yifan felt a shiver watching the madman struggling intensely.

“It’s sturdy; this band is made from new nano-materials, not even high-rank superpower users can break free easily.”

Bai Xiqin glanced at the material of the band, her eyes deepening.

The madman was trapped here, fed with zombie meat.

Who was raising the madman with zombies?

She approached the madman’s bound bed, eyeing the hidden clasp of the tether.

When they arrived, someone controlled the tether switch, setting him free.

“Who!”

Leng Yebai suddenly rushed out, bypassing everyone, jumping from the second floor with a cold demeanor, charging at a direction.

The Bai Family followed suit.

Bai Xiqin stepped on the ledge, jumping down as well.

The rest glanced at the height, decisively choosing to take the stairs quickly.

“Oh! Take it easy!”

An old man was dragged out from a corner of the mental hospital by Leng Yebai.

The old man looked elegant, wearing a white coat, resembling a doctor from the asylum.

“Who are you? Are all the madmen inside raised by you?”

Bai Xiqin pressed her dagger against the old man’s neck, who wore a white coat.

The entire mental hospital was eerily strange, and the sudden appearance of an old man seemed incredibly odd.

“I raised them!” The old man shivered, nodding, then quickly shook his head, “Used to, not anymore.”

The old man gingerly pushed Bai Xiqin’s dagger away, rummaging in his pockets before producing a wrinkled business card.

Wang Dongshan, Director of Anji Hospital.

So he was the director of the asylum.

Bai Xiqin suddenly placed her hand on the director’s head, emitting a faint green glow from her hand.

Before long, Bai Xiqin retrieved her dagger.
