Chapter 100: Discovery

The base had two ’military’ forces – the police and the army.

Similar to before the apocalypse, the police were responsible for internal security including patrolling the base and catching criminals.

On the other hand, the army was responsible for dealing with external threats and their job included manning the base walls, collecting supplies, clearing the surrounding areas, and expanding the base perimeter amongst other tasks.

At this time, it was naturally more appropriate to contact the police than the army.

“Has someone contacted the police?”

“Someone seems to have gone. Let’s just wait.”

“But I wonder if this notice is true…”

“I think it’s true.”

“Why?”

“Would someone be so stupid as to tell a lie that would be revealed when the door is opened?”

“You are right but…, they didn’t leave an actual name. What can we do to them even if we discover they lied?”

“Aren’t all of you ignoring the important matter?”

“What important matter? What do you mean?”

“Look at the notice…, it says master Fang Tianlu and his accomplices have been executed.”

After being reminded, the crowd immediately realised the seriousness of the matter.

“Master Fang Tianlu is the Fang family’s heir. Did the ’Night Shadows’ really dare to kill him?”

“This…”

“That kind of trash deserves to be executed.”

“You…, you just need to know it. Why insist on saying it out loud?”

“Doesn’t the Fang family live in the villa area? Why did they come here to do this kind of thing?”

“Are you stupid?” Someone sneered and quickly continued.

“Would they dare to do this kind of thing in the villa area?”

“Most of those who live in the villa area are superpowers and the risk of being discovered is very high. Also, raising a zombie in the villa area is too risky. Wouldn’t they be the first to die if the zombie accidentally broke free?”

Several people turned gloomy when they heard this.

After all, they lived in zone D and their houses were not far from the bungalow.

Thinking about what could have happened, the crowd couldn’t help but feel angry.

“Was Fang Tianlu using us as meat shields?” Someone angrily asked.

“Bastard!” Another muttered.

As they were talking, more people had gathered and even survivors from other zones had begun appearing.

Hidden on the other side of the street, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu looked at each other.

“It’s going better than I expected.” Mo Chenxuan said.

“The children are still inside. Will it really be okay?” Qin Wu asked and Mo Chenxuan nodded.

“Don’t worry. Everything will be alright.”

Before the base police arrived, more than three hundred spectators had already gathered outside the bungalow.

At this point, the incident could not be hidden and some base leaders had already been alarmed.

“What’s going on?” Xuanyuan Qi asked, his eyebrows creased in a frown.

“There is an incident in zone D.” His aide said and quickly began explaining.

“Is it true?” Xuanyuan Qi asked in an incredulous voice.

After all, Fang Tianlu had always been kind and generous.

Thinking that such person was so vicious that he dared to capture children to rear a zombie, Xuanyuan Qi couldn’t help but shudder.

“The police have just arrived but the matter seems to be true.”

Xuanyuan Qi sighed when he heard that.

“Send someone to investigate.” He finally said.

“I understand.” Xie Ya said and left to do as she was told.

The Fang family, Wei family, Qin family, and Chu family also received the news.

Subsequently, they sent people to investigate.

In addition to major families, some teams got the news and immediately rushed there.

One of those teams was team Legends.

However, by the time Xu Fei and the others arrived, the police had already opened the door and confirmed the situation.

Seeing the dead bodies, Xu Fei and Lin Rongrong looked at each other.

“Did…” Lin Rongrong started but Xu Fei shook his head.

After all, they were in public and there were many superpowers around.

If Lin Rongrong mentioned the possibility that Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu were ’Night Shadows’, the Fang family and the base would not let them go.

For now, it was best to watch and follow their two leaders’ lead.

“It’s horrible, isn’t it?” A voice sounded behind them.

Turning around, Xu Fei, Lin Rongrong, Lu Hao, Lu Yanyan, and Xiao Junxie saw Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu.

The one who spoke was Qin Wu.

“It’s unbelievable that such a thing happened in the base.” She continued in an indignant voice.

“It’s indeed unbelievable.”

“I…” Qin Wu started but suddenly stopped.

“The children are coming out.” She said instead, causing the surrounding people to look at the doorway.

At this time, eight children, led by a female police officer, came out of the house.

“They don’t look well.” Lin Rongrong said in a gloomy voice.

The eight children were of different ages but they were all below ten.

At a glance, they were wearing dirty rags and didn’t seem to have eaten or slept well for a long time.

“Have you taken their statement?” A male officer asked, looking at the female.

“I have.” The female nodded and sighed.

She had seen many absurd and cruel things since the apocalypse began.

However, after encountering this incident, she realised that humans were capable of more evil than she gave them credit for.

’That bastard Fang Tianlu doesn’t deserve to live.’ She thought but didn’t dare to say it out loud.

After all, she was a law officer and the Fang family was a prominent clan.

Shaking her head to clear the errant thoughts, the female officer continued to report.

“They were asleep when everything happened. They didn’t see or hear anything.”

Hearing this, the male police officer narrowed his eyes and looked at the children.

However, the female shook her head, walked to her colleague and leaned to whisper in his ear.

“They have already been carefully interrogated. They don’t know anything including how they were captured from their homes. They only know that one of them disappears every day.” She said and quickly continued.

“They have also identified some of the corpses as the people who imprisoned them and took care of their daily needs.”
