Suspicion

“What did you want to say before? Keep talking?”

After Ping Chengcheng left, Song Ning stood next to Zheng Zhiyi, holding her gun flat and practicing her shooting carefully.

An entire magazine of bullets accurately hit the bullseye. Song Ning took a deep breath.

It can be said that at present, she has perfectly mastered the feel of most types of firearms. In terms of shooting skills, she is not far from Ping Chengcheng.

Ping Chengcheng just left the group not long ago, and probably won’t be back too soon. Zheng Zhiyi looked at Song Ning beside her.

“She, she’s a Variant, really, I’m not lying to you, believe me.”

Zheng Zhiyi’s eyes were very serious, which made Song Ning frown.

“How could I not know if she’s a Variant?”

“I’ve been with Chengcheng for so long, and I’ve never seen anything wrong with her?”

Chengcheng is so cute, how could she be a Variant.

“Is it possible that she has been deliberately hiding it from you?” Zheng Zhiyi sneered.

“If you don’t believe me, go ask the people around you, maybe they know something.” She thought of what Lao Ba had said to her.

Lao Ba had suggested to her that she should praise Ping Chengcheng and Song Ning, saying that they were a perfect match, so that she could stay.

Lao Ba and that Wu Sheng definitely know something! But… they certainly don’t understand the girl’s true face either.

Thinking of the feeling of being locked on by the girl’s killing intent, Zheng Zhiyi shuddered.

Too scary… She, she’s a monster! She’s a madman! A complete, extremely terrifying guy!

“Sister Song, you must be careful, she’s definitely got her eye on you!”

Zheng Zhiyi grabbed Song Ning’s arm, very hard. She stared into Song Ning’s eyes: “Moreover, Ping Chengcheng, she also wants to kill me!”

“Sister Song, have you noticed that I’ve been by your side all day today, the reason is…”

“I don’t know why, she’s been hiding the fact that she’s a Variant from you, and she’s been maintaining those gentle and harmless cute pretenses.”

“I heard that Variants are all perverts, madmen. I suspect that she is enjoying the process of deceiving you!”

“And then, at the right time, kill you and eat you!”

Song Ning stood there dumbfounded. Zheng Zhiyi’s words made her heart beat wildly, and at the same time, she remembered the occasional oddities about the girl.

For example, Ping Chengcheng’s decisiveness in killing at the farmhouse restaurant. At the time, Song Ning only felt that the girl had a strong adaptability.

No…

Why did she suddenly suspect Ping Chengcheng? How could she be like this!

You know, Ping Chengcheng blocked a bullet for Song Ning and saved Song Ning’s life at that time!

Song Ning’s heart was in a mess. That’s right, Ping Chengcheng is so cute, so well-behaved and obedient…

And she is so simple. Sometimes when you touch her head, the little one will burrow into her arms for a hug.

Is this kind of cutie related to those bloody and violent Variants?

Thinking of this, Song Ning calmed down and looked at Zheng Zhiyi with indifferent eyes: “So what?”

“Do you have evidence? When you have evidence, come and tell me these things.”

She did not directly deny Zheng Zhiyi’s remarks, because Zheng Zhiyi’s words and expressions did not seem like lies.

It’s just… Song Ning can’t accept it, can’t accept that Ping Chengcheng is really a Variant. Although she hasn’t seen a Variant with her own eyes, she can feel that Variants are really that kind based on Xiao Lie and Zheng Zhiyi’s attitudes.

Scary, cruel, and terrifying creatures. They… are they to the extent that they can never be divided from humans?

If Ping Chengcheng is really a Variant, then what is her purpose in following Song Ning all the time?

Why has Ping Chengcheng been hiding her identity?

Thinking of this, Song Ning suddenly remembered many questions the girl had asked her.

If a monster liked her, would she accept it? What if that monster had human thoughts?

If someone liked her very much and wanted to imprison her by her side, how would she feel?

Song Ning’s pupils shrank, and her mind seemed to be experiencing a storm.

Ping Chengcheng… has a problem!

At the very least, she is not as cute and simple as she seems on the surface…

But…

Ping Chengcheng likes her very much… Are those likes real or fake? Why does she doubt these things?

Song Ning, Song Ning, aren’t you too beastly! You’ve done so many disgusting things to Ping Chengcheng! You even did that kind of thing to her when the two of you weren’t even together… Is thinking about these things now to tell yourself that Ping Chengcheng isn’t human, and then make yourself feel at ease or something?

What’s more, Ping Chengcheng, but, but saved your life!

Wait a minute–

If, if Ping Chengcheng is those Variants, and has some powerful vitality or something, she might know…

Song Ning! Stop thinking!

“Ka-da!”

The gun fell weakly to the ground. Song Ning supported her knees, panting with sweat all over her face.

“Zheng Zhiyi, don’t talk about these things anymore.”

“Even if Chengcheng is a Variant, so what? She likes me, she has never done anything to hurt me.”

“Even if she is really a Variant, I won’t dislike her, hate her. Please don’t say these things anymore.”

Zheng Zhiyi stared at Song Ning in surprise.

“You, are you stupid! I’m… I’m sorry, Sister Song…” She stumbled.

“Um, what I wanted to say is, Sister, you’ve been deceived by her!”

“Do you know… before, it was the wound on my face…”

“That night, she said to me, Sister Song, you are…”

Zheng Zhiyi still wanted to say something, but was rudely interrupted by Song Ning.

“Enough!”

“Don’t say any more!”

Song Ning didn’t dare to listen anymore. She rubbed her sore temples, feeling a boundless weariness.

So tired… So tired… I really want to go to sleep.

Ping Chengcheng is a Variant?… So what? She… she doesn’t want to think so much. At least in her eyes, Ping Chengcheng will never hurt her, and she and Chengcheng are lovers. Yes, lovers.

The apocalypse is really torturous!

“Don’t say any more in the future, okay? I’m tired, I’ll go back first.”

Song Ning tidied up her clothes and turned to walk out of the training ground.

There were footsteps behind her all the time, it was Zheng Zhiyi following her.

Song Ning stopped, feeling inexplicably annoyed. Just as she was about to say something, Zheng Zhiyi spoke first: “If I don’t stay with you, Ping Chengcheng will kill me.”

Song Ning turned her head, looking into Zheng Zhiyi’s eyes. After a long time, she sighed: “Forget it. Let’s go.”

Along the way, two voices appeared in her mind, one telling her what kind of existence Variants are, and one telling her that Ping Chengcheng wouldn’t be that kind of person.

Song Ning suddenly wanted to see what Variants were like. Maybe Variants are not necessarily what Xiao Lie and Zheng Zhiyi think they are? Maybe Ping Chengcheng is not a Variant at all.

Just like Song Ning, since Song Ning knew the division between Variants and normal humans, she understood the difference between her and Variants. First of all, she doesn’t have any strange mutated limbs or organs, and secondly, she doesn’t thirst for blood.

Ping Chengcheng should be the same as her, right? Ping Chengcheng is not a Variant, her eyes are natural, yes, they are natural.

But Zheng Zhiyi said that Ping Chengcheng personally admitted that she was a Variant…
