Chapter 127: Chapter 20: The Queen’s Return (20)

Fortunately, Li Shuyan didn’t take many people with her, otherwise, if they found out there was no food in the base, wouldn’t there be chaos?

“Miss Shuyan, what should we do? There’s no food in the base now, and the food everyone has is limited.”

Li Shuyan bit her lip, thought for a moment, and said, “The zombies surrounding the base seem to have retreated. Let’s check the situation. If there are no zombies, we’ll go out to look for some supplies. Both Brother Han and I are already at the Fourth Rank. With us leading, you can rest assured.”

The person asking felt a weight lifted from their heart and said nothing more.

They returned to the wall, only to find Xue Han had already led people out of the city, and the zombies had returned.

Li Shuyan’s face turned pale.

Zombies surrounded them again, and they had no food. If they couldn’t break out, wouldn’t they all die?

Did Li Shuning foresee all of this? Is that why she left with people that day?

Damn Li Shuning.

Li Shuyan swore that if she saw Li Shuning again, she would never let her go.

The number of zombies outside the city increased.

Another Fourth Rank zombie began attacking Xue Han.

And the Fourth Rank zombie that Li Shuning had driven off before now surrounded them too.

Seeing Xue Han in a perilous situation, Li Shuyan immediately went out of the city to help.

The group fought all day, exhausted, and retreated back into the city, shutting the gates tightly.

The zombies began directly hitting against the city walls.

Fortunately, with the advantage of the walls, everyone could attack from above, which provided some benefits.

The people inside the city were divided into three groups to guard the walls in shifts.

But when those who retreated down to rest found there was nothing to eat or drink, they truly felt on the brink of collapse.

There wasn’t even a single Water Ability user in the city.

And there was no water left in the city.

Although Li Shuyan forcefully managed to get something to eat, the people in the base were still on the verge of breakdown.

Initially, when Li Shuyan recruited them, she was very clear, saying she would give each person some free food and water without needing to exchange crystals. Moreover, they would be guaranteed some crystals to enhance their abilities.

But now? They couldn’t even ensure food and water, let alone strength enhancement?

Then what was the point of betraying the leader in the first place?

With the leader’s group, they could at least hold back the zombies.

And everyone believed that with the leader, there would be food.

Previously, no food was ever scarce for those who went out to kill zombies.

Whenever they went out to gather supplies and made a big haul, the leader would even bring out some alcohol to celebrate.

Now, not to mention alcohol, there wasn’t even any water.

This disparity caused the entire base to be filled with anxiety.

No one died the first day, but by the second day, over ten ordinary people and two Superpower Users had died. By the third day, over fifty ordinary people and more than ten Superpower Users perished. On the fourth day, the gates were breached.

Xue Han’s face was full of desolation. He watched helplessly as his mother was bitten to death by zombies and turned into one of them. He watched as his father was impaled by a zombie and died before his eyes.

How did it come to this?

Xue Han, a bit frenzied, continued killing zombies around him, heedless of his own safety.

Li Shuyan rushed over to protect him.

After clearing the zombies around them, Li Shuyan quickly embraced Xue Han, “Brother Han, don’t be impulsive. Mom and Dad wouldn’t want to see you like this. Don’t be like this.”

Xue Han, eyes red, looked at Li Shuyan, making her feel a bit scared.

“Li Shuyan, what is your heart made of? You could lay hands on your own sister and mother. Hearing your own parents die, you show no sadness. Now that my parents are dead, what is your heart feeling?”

Li Shuyan couldn’t believe it. No matter what she did, she had never wronged Xue Han in her life, and he actually said this to her?

Li Shuyan felt dizzy, “Xue Han, how could you say that? Have I ever harbored even a tiny bit of selfishness towards you? I’ve done so much for you. Have you never felt my heart? Oh, why would you care? Your heart is all for Li Shuning. Too bad, where is Li Shuning now? For the base’s fight, you were the one who personally shut Li Shuning out, weren’t you? Haha.”

Xue Han’s eyes grew redder, looking at the crazed-looking Li Shuyan with utter disgust.

“Oh, fighting like dogs?”

Xue Han and Li Shuyan immediately looked up to see, not far off, Li Shuning standing leisurely with a group of people, and the zombies were nowhere to be seen.

Li Shuyan’s eyes bulged, “Li Shuning, it’s you, wasn’t it? It’s all your plot, right?”

Xue Han was also filled with suffering, “Xiao Ning, was it you? Did you cause the death of my parents?”

“Heh, you two are good at blaming others. Did I make you seize the base and lock us out? Did I kill your parents? Weren’t your parents killed by your own actions? If you hadn’t seized the base, would the outer walls have been breached? Xue Han, your parents were killed by you and Li Shuyan. You have brought this ruin upon yourselves.”

Li Shuyan shouted, “You’re talking nonsense, it’s all your conspiracy, otherwise why haven’t the zombies attacked you? You must have used some trick.”

Li Shuning flipped her hair and smiled, “I forgot to tell you, I’m a Sixth Rank Superpower User.”

Xue Han’s mouth filled with bitterness, “Xiao Ning, why do this to us?”

“Why? All of it was caused by you. Because my power is strong, I deserved to be plotted against by you, did I have to protect you? I’m not some Holy Mother. When my parents died before my eyes, who could I blame? If you hadn’t schemed, would your parents have died?”

“This was my base all along. Why can’t I come back and reclaim what’s mine?”

“Leader, I’m sorry, I was deceived by Li Shuyan, please forgive me, from now on, I’ll follow you closely, wherever you point, I won’t go any other way. Leader, I beg you, forgive me?”

Li Shuning laughed, “I have nothing I can’t forgive you for. People always aim higher. If you think Li Shuyan is great, following her is fine. I will naturally fulfill your wish.”

The next moment, the people with Li Shuning advanced, clearing everyone remaining in the base out.

Even though many parts of the wall were broken, a Superpower User with Earth abilities used their power to repair the wall.

The gates were shut, and this time it was Xue Han and his group standing outside.

Many begged and pleaded, but Li Shuning paid them no heed.

With no zombies outside now and clearly no chance of returning to the base, Xue Han led the people quickly away from Baijing County, staying any longer would only give Li Shuning a spectacle to watch.
