It was eleven o’clock at night, already deep into the night.
A thick black mist covered the world like a veil, making it impossible to see your fingers in front of you.
At this time of night, only the late-night workers who were building the city walls were still busy with the help of lights, and most people had entered their dreams.
Of course, there were also many people who had lost hope for the future and were living a life of debauchery. In countless dirty corners of the S City base, many people who were like walking corpses were reveling wantonly under a dim street lamp.
Xiao Lie had just resolved a riot among the survivors in the base, and his eyes were like those of a hungry wolf, with a mocking smile on his lips.
Behind him followed dozens of people, all holding guns, with fierce eyes.
These people were elite soldiers he had personally selected.
The reason for the survivor riot was dissatisfaction with the base’s resource allocation, but they couldn’t help it, and besides…
Everything had a price tag. Want a house? Okay, work hard immediately, otherwise, honestly work, and you can have your own house in half a year.
The base would not give these things to the survivors. It can be said that the safety factor of the current S City base is very high, and special infected people rarely invade.
As long as you honestly work, food will be distributed, and there will basically be no worry about your life.
Doing these things was already the limit of benevolence.
Xiao Lie stopped in place, looking in the direction of the villa where Ping Chengcheng lived.
Although he learned that the girl was about to lose control, he was not very nervous. At this moment, he still took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth.
A subordinate with good eyesight immediately stepped forward and lit his cigarette for him.
He didn’t need to handle this riot personally. These people were ordinary people without guns, but Xiao Lie liked this feeling of casually controlling other people’s lives and deaths.
He sneered, took out the communicator, and prepared to contact Lu Linyuan first to talk about Ping Chengcheng, and then arrest her at the meeting tomorrow.
He was not afraid of the girl assassinating him, because near the girl’s house, he still arranged for several people to keep an eye on Ping Chengcheng’s whereabouts at all times. As long as the girl went out, his subordinates would immediately tell him the girl’s whereabouts.
The communicator quickly connected successfully, and Lu Linyuan’s somewhat tired voice came.
“Xiao Lie, what’s the matter so late?”
Xiao Lie’s voice was serious, no longer with the casual appearance he had just had.
“General Commander… I discovered something, and I’m a little unsure.”
“I think that Ping Chengcheng girl may be a Variant!”
On the other end of the communicator, Lu Linyuan leaned back on the soft sofa and narrowed his eyes. Interesting, what was going on? It seemed that Xiao Lie wanted to get rid of the girl…
“Hmm, I know,” Lu Linyuan said calmly.
Xiao Lie was a little surprised. Why was Lu Linyuan’s reaction so flat?!
“Then… I’m saying, Ping Chengcheng, she, may be a Variant!”
Xiao Lie repeated somewhat uncertainly. He thought that Lu Linyuan might have misheard.
Lu Linyuan frowned with dissatisfaction. What was this guy doing?
“I said, I know,” his voice with a little impatience.
“Since you say she is a Variant, do you have any evidence?”
Xiao Lie heard Lu Linyuan’s impatience, but he didn’t think much about it. As the commander of the base, he handled so many things every day, it was normal to have grievances: “I have certification, and tomorrow we can do a blood test on her. I guess she’s about to lose control.”
After Xiao Lie finished speaking, he waited respectfully for ten seconds before hearing Lu Linyuan’s deep “hmm.”
“Okay, tomorrow I will arrange for someone to arrest Ping Chengcheng,” Lu Linyuan said, and then the communication was cut off.
Lu Linyuan sat alone in the dark room, chuckling softly.
He frowned and stood up. The girl was about to lose control? What should he do? Help Ping Chengcheng hide it? Or… consider the safety of the base and eliminate her? But if that’s the case, his daughter…
No, he would talk to Ping Chengcheng tomorrow. He had a special tranquilizer developed by the biological group of the research department, which could barely suppress the bloodthirsty consciousness of the Variants, and the suppression time was not long. It was very precious, and only one could be produced a week, but…
Thinking of Shen Mengyuan staring at him with disgust, he sighed again.
Forget it, he owed this daughter too much in this life…
Villa, the master bedroom in the dark. Ping Chengcheng was lying naked in the arms of the sleeping Song Ning, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, gently looking at the young woman’s face.
Older Sister is so beautiful~
Thinking this way, a tentacle stretched out uncontrollably to touch Song Ning’s face. But Ping Chengcheng suppressed this impulse.
Bad tentacle, don’t disturb Older Sister’s sleep!
After a while, the girl quietly crawled out of the young woman’s arms, stepping lightly on the ground with her bare feet.
Outside the window was pitch black, oppressive, and suffocating. The darkness in the apocalypse was probably like this.
Ping Chengcheng’s gentle gaze left the sleeping Song Ning and instantly turned cold. Looking out the window, her pair of enchanting pupils flickered with light.
It was time to find Xiao Lie.
She knew that Xiao Lie couldn’t not arrange for people to monitor her near the villa.
But so what? After all, the girl was not an ordinary Variant.
Was it possible that the speed was so fast that to a certain extent, and it was in this kind of dark night with extremely poor visibility, the girl at night would be like a ghost, and no one could capture her whereabouts.
She put on her clothes, black loose sweatpants, and a black hooded sweatshirt. What was strange was that the girl didn’t wear shoes.
Ping Chengcheng gently pushed open the window, turned back and looked at Song Ning, who was breathing evenly and still sleeping, and smiled cutely, her voice soft: “Older Sister… wait for me to come back…”
She stood in front of the window, her eyes indifferent, closed her eyes, and a sense of momentum was brewing…
When she opened her eyes again, the pair of ruby-like eyes turned into beast pupils like wild animals.
What was most unimaginable was that the girl’s feet were now covered by strange black armor, reflecting the light from nowhere, looking like the claws of a scaled-down Western dragon!
Extending along the girl’s ankles, her entire leg was covered by armor, all the way to her waist!
This was a hideous, hard armor.
This ability was obtained when she absorbed the genes of the Egg-Laying One. Now, it was Ping Chengcheng’s first time using it.
She licked her lips excitedly, feeling the endless power contained in her body.
“Whoosh…!”
The girl turned into a black arrow from the string, instantly rushing out of the window of the master bedroom of the villa. With a few turns, she quickly jumped and moved on the roof of a villa. Beside her ears was the pleasant sound of the wind, and her hair danced wildly, like a free phoenix spirit.
A hidden sentry sneezed heavily, looking around in confusion.
“What the hell, such a strong wind in the middle of the night?”
The speed at which the petite figure could not be captured by sight was shuttling on the roofs of the S City base.
In less than three minutes, Ping Chengcheng had arrived at the roof of Xiao Lie’s three-story villa.
She released tentacles to cling to the walls of the villa, hanging leisurely, going around the windows of the villa to find Xiao Lie, until a closed window on the third floor.
Looking through the glass, Xiao Lie was leisurely playing with a Desert Eagle he had collected.
Ping Chengcheng showed a satisfied smile full of evil.
“Knock knock.” She knocked on the window, the red light in her eyes was shining brightly.
“Xiao Lie, good evening~”
Xiao Lie trembled in shock. Who was it!? He followed the sound and looked out the window, a pair of red eyes, like two lanterns, stared at him with killing intent.
“Ping, Ping Chengcheng!?” He was shocked.
No, this was impossible! Why didn’t his sentry give him a message!?
Before he could say anything, the window suddenly shattered! Glass shards flew everywhere, and a tentacle instantly pierced in!
Blood splattered all over the room!
Xiao Lie stared blankly at the ceiling, gradually losing his breath…
