Chapter 706: Make Him Remember Her Forever
A faint scent of the sea.
The same flavor as the pearls obtained from Zombie King Li Mucheng.
Bai Xiqin’s gaze swept over Song Kerou, finally landing on Song Kerou’s hair tie.
A black hair tie with a not-so-full pearl at the end.
The surface of the pearl emitted a faint glow, which was not very noticeable under the sunlight, hardly visible unless looked at closely.
Seeing Bai Xiqin looking at her, Song Kerou’s face suddenly twisted.
Her nails almost dug into her flesh.
A heap of curses brewed in her mind, yet not a single word left her lips.
However, Song Kerou quickly composed herself, wearing a meaningful smile on her face.
"If you like it, I’ll give it to you."
Song Kerou pursed her thin lips forcefully, spat out a word through her teeth, took off a hairpin from her head, and handed it to Bai Xiqin.
It was a hairpin inlaid with a large diamond on the surface.
Once it lay in an expensive display case, invaluable.
This was the most precious thing Song Kerou had so far, yet also the least precious.
She instinctively thought Bai Xiqin was looking at her hair, at the shiny hairpin.
Besides the hairpin, she only had a cheap-looking hair tie, picked up from some man’s house.
Nothing distinctive, in her former self, she wouldn’t even have picked it up from the ground.
Song Kerou’s voice was somewhat timid, gentle as if she had met a robber trying to steal her pretty jewelry.
She just wanted to disgust Bai Xiqin a little.
As expected, all eyes were on Bai Xiqin.
While not daring to disdain the daughter-in-law of the Base Commander, they were somewhat surprised.
The daughter-in-law of the Base Commander wouldn’t be the type to "snatch" others’ jewelry so shamelessly!
Moreover, diamond-studded jewelry isn’t valuable nowadays; you could get one easily from any jewelry store.
The most valuable jewelry for girls now is the one inlaid with beautiful crystal cores, crafted by High Rank Superpower Users, a hundred times prettier than diamonds!
"Thank you, I wasn’t looking at your hairpin, I was looking at your hair. Your wig isn’t on properly; you might want to adjust it."
Bai Xiqin nodded politely, a harmless smile on their lips, white fingers pointing at Song Kerou’s hair.
Song Kerou’s hair looked normal, but a part seemed a bit out of place, closely clinging to her scalp.
The right ear’s wig wasn’t properly aligned, with a part sticking up.
"Ah!"
Song Kerou abruptly reached to touch her ear, her face turning rigid.
She indeed wore a wig.
A portion of the hair by her right ear had been forcibly pulled out, with no new strands grown.
This was Song Ning’s doing.
Despite appearing like a righteous young man, it only applied to his friends.
Upon discovering that Song Kerou was the one who harmed Song Wenwen, Song Ning had no intention of letting her off easily.
The Song Family had no plans to let her go either.
The Song Family was into business before the apocalypse, never acquiring a lot of money via unjust means. Yet truly kind people couldn’t protect themselves well.
They never harmed anyone, but that didn’t mean they lacked means to deal with those who hurt them.
Song Kerou clutched her hair tightly and quickly shrank behind Li Yong, feeling everyone’s gaze was glaringly harsh and wishing to find a hole to crawl into.
She originally intended to disgust Bai Xiqin slightly, but ended up disgusted herself.
Bai Yifan watched from the side, shaking his head slightly at Song Kerou’s pitiful state.
Trying to act like a green tea bitch with my older sister, this fool is too inexperienced.
"Everyone! Ahead is where the mutant buffalo appeared, mind the zombies in the snow!"
The Base Commander’s cold voice rang from the front.
As soon as the Base Commander’s voice fell, the ground quaked.
Everyone immediately focused their attention ahead, trucks spreading out, forming a semicircular encirclement.
"Moo――"
Sounds from the herd intensified, akin to thunderclaps from the sky.
Deafening.
"They’re here! Thunder Ability Users, strike, Earth Ability Users, build walls, the rest clear the zombies!"
The Base Commander’s voice was steady, calming some of the panicked individuals.
Superpower Users quickly accumulated energy, the superpower at their fingertips brimming to the extreme.
Suddenly earth walls appeared in front of the trucks, obstructing the mutant buffalo herd’s charge, allowing superpower users ample time to retaliate.
"Moo――"
The herd finally appeared in everyone’s sight, double the size of a normal buffalo, the massive muscles on their bodies vaguely visible.
White mist surged from their nostrils, appearing vicious.
No black blood in their mouths, smatterings of yellow, withered grass faintly visible.
Evidently, these mutant buffalo don’t consume carrion, being pure herbivores.
Such mutant animals are edible.
As the overdozen mutant buffalo approached, some zombies were drawn over by the commotion.
"Roar――"
Zombies struggled out of the snow, barely managing to rise.
Unhesitatingly rushing toward the direction of flesh and blood.
Grotesque faces, frost congealed the rotten flesh on their faces, yet it didn’t affect them.
Nothing could stop their desire to devour flesh and blood.
Only complete death could halt the rampant bloodthirsty urges in their brains.
With the Base Commander present, Superpower Users seemed not as fearful.
They fully knew the Base Commander’s abilities.
Hence, when looking at the herd, their eyes gleamed with green light.
So much beef, enough for everyone at the base to have a feast.
Those out on missions like them would surely get plenty of beef, making it possible to have stable days even in these icy conditions.
Thus, as soon as the Base Commander’s voice fell, all Superpower Users sprang into action.
Thunder Ability Users frantically hurled lightning at the mutant buffalo heads, attempting to electrocute them to death.
Other Superpower Users cautiously and meticulously cleared the surrounding zombies.
For a moment, Superpower Users could steadily suppress the current scene.
The dozen or so burly buffalo hadn’t breached the encirclement, nor threatened any Superpower User.
At this time, the Base Commander hadn’t even intervened.
He stood aside, quietly observing everyone, preventing unexpected situations from arising.
With his power, he could effortlessly kill all the mutant buffalo and return victorious.
However, he couldn’t do that, needing to boost the Superpower Users’ initiative, preventing them from experiencing unearned rewards.
Song Kerou silently watched the scene before her, feeling extreme jealousy at the sight of Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai’s fingertips flickering with superpowers.
Why didn’t she have any superpower?
"Auntie, you don’t have any superpower?"
Bai Yifan switched from calling her older sister to auntie, deliberately engaging Song Kerou in conversation.
Song Kerou turned her face away, ignoring Bai Yifan, but a bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She pulled out a seemingly worn-out small knife from her thick down jacket, grasping it tightly.
If she couldn’t return to "upper society," and if she couldn’t leave an impression on Leng Yebai’s heart.
If she killed Bai Xiqin, Leng Yebai would surely remember her for life.
She intended to drag Leng Yebai to hell with her.
