Chapter 739: Born of the Same Root
Villa entrance.
Song Hongfei and Song’s mother watched as Song Wenwen got in the car, their eyes full of reluctance.
"Mom, Dad, I’m leaving now. You should head back! I can see you when you leave, and then I can find you!"
Song Wenwen waved at Song Hongfei and Song’s mother.
Song Hongfei and Song’s mother still had a mission assigned by Fang Jin, which was to go with the Base Commander to a certain place to gather information.
Song Hongfei and his wife vaguely understood Fang Jin’s intentions, so they didn’t refuse for fear of raising suspicion.
They could only let Song Ning and the others see Wenwen off.
Song Ning was driving in the front, Leng Yebai sat in the passenger seat, while Bai Xiqin and Song Wenwen sat at the back.
When leaving the safety base, there’s no need for manual temperature checks; they just needed to pass through an infrared temperature sensing device.
Bai Xiqin covered the surface of Song Wenwen’s body with a layer of ice, and they easily slipped through.
The infrared sensor detects ultra-low temperatures, thinking it’s frozen food or something else.
So it’s easier when leaving, but entering the safety base requires manual checks.
"Wenwen, be careful after you get out. If you encounter a High Rank Zombie, avoid them. If it doesn’t work out, just return to the safety base. I’ll protect you."
Song Ning glanced at Song Wenwen through the rearview mirror, unable to stop himself from giving a few more reminders.
In his eyes, Song Wenwen was still that quiet little Princess, aloof yet easily bullied.
"Ah, got it." Song Wenwen dumbly nodded, "You be careful too, don’t get nibbled by any little cuties. If you let the outside zombies have a chance, I’d be jealous."
"... What?"
Song Ning didn’t react for a moment.
Did Song Wenwen mean what he thought she meant?
"But don’t worry, even though your flesh isn’t as fragrant as Xiao Qunqun and Leng Yebai’s, I don’t mind you."
When Song Wenwen said this, she nodded to herself.
It seemed like there was a somewhat self-sacrificial tone to it.
Song Ning: ...
Aren’t he and his sister a loving family?
When did their familial affection become so... fragile?
"Sis, we were born from the same parents!"
Song Ning pouted, feeling a bit aggrieved, wondering why his sister would want to nibble him!
Heartbreaking!
"Born from the same root, we die together."
Seeing Song Ning’s somewhat aggrieved expression, Song Wenwen quietly stuck her tongue out and muttered to herself.
Being born from the same parents, she couldn’t let the outside zombies benefit from it, otherwise, it would be such a waste!
Waste is shameful!
Song Wenwen wasn’t cursing her dear brother, just thinking that tossing over a hundred pounds of flesh to the zombies outside was too much of a waste!
"Sis, you’ve changed, you’re not the cold goddess you used to be."
Song Ning caught a glimpse of Song Wenwen sticking her tongue out and making a funny face, and his face twitched hard.
Is this something his adorable sister would say?
It’s both gory and heartbreaking.
"Really?" Song Wenwen touched her face, "I think I haven’t changed; I’m still the Song Wenwen who can eat dozens of pounds of flesh and blood in one go."
Song Ning: ...
Bai Xiqin: ...
Definitely changed!
When she was human, Song Wenwen loved beauty and didn’t eat much meat, let alone human flesh.
As an ordinary zombie, Wenwen used to eat vegetables with them, doing whatever she was told, with a kind of naive charm.
Now... Song Wenwen seemed very lively, almost like she was planning to take down the whole family.
Is it possible that the zombie virus’s toxins were too strong, making Song Wenwen lose her mind?
"Could you move your hand off Xiao Niu’s shoulder? Otherwise, I might think you want to eat Xiao Niu."
Song Ning saw through the rearview mirror that Song Wenwen was very close to Bai Xiqin, despite having plenty of space, they were squeezed together.
Being squeezed together was one thing, but his sister’s gaze was too intense!
She was just short of climbing onto Bai Xiqin for a bite.
"Bro, don’t worry, even if I were starving to the point of dizziness, I wouldn’t nibble on Xiao Qunqun."
Song Wenwen looked at Song Ning with a look of disdain and even gave him an eye roll.
She’s definitely not that kind of zombie; she doesn’t nibble on good friends!
... Unless Xiao Qunqun is on the brink of death, then she might nibble.
Song Ning: ...
Alright!
He’s so petty.
Song Ning didn’t know where to send Wenwen, instinctively driving toward a direction with fewer zombies.
Still worried about Song Wenwen being in danger.
Song Wenwen comfortably leaned against Bai Xiqin, inhaling the fragrance emanating from Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai.
After leaving the safety base, she wouldn’t be able to smell it.
Smell it more.
Satisfy the cravings!
"Damn!"
As a human, she was a goddess, and as a zombie, she was crazy. Song Wenwen suddenly sat upright and even swore.
"What?"
Song Ning’s face started to twist.
It was the first time he heard his sister being so... carefree.
"Change direction and speed up!"
Song Wenwen slapped Song Ning on the shoulder, hurting him so much that his face twitched repeatedly.
Really hurts!
Song Ning abruptly made a sharp turn, quickly switching to another road as the car continued to drive smoothly.
"What’s wrong?"
Bai Xiqin looked at Song Wenwen, whose face had changed dramatically, and carefully sensed the surrounding environment.
Didn’t feel any special energy fluctuations.
So it must be brainwaves.
"Zhang Yiming is up ahead, and I’m afraid I might kill him, so let’s change direction," Song Wenwen said.
She didn’t want to kneel to Zhang Yiming in front of Xiao Niu; it would be too embarrassing.
Bai Xiqin: ???
Who’s killing whom?
Hearing Song Wenwen’s words, Leng Yebai turned to look at Song Wenwen, who was very close to Bai Xiqin, and said, "How about not turning then?"
It didn’t matter which of these two zombies died, either one would be fine!
Leng Yebai just thought these two zombies were extremely annoying.
Zhang Yiming was obvious, a straightforward rival in love.
When Song Wenwen was an ordinary zombie, it wasn’t so bad, but now that she had regained her consciousness, she kept sticking to Xiao Niu, never letting go.
"I’m giving him face." Song Wenwen said calmly, "He’s Xiao Niu’s good classmate, can’t kill him."
Crunch, crunch.
Leng Yebai’s fingers tightened, making noise.
Do zombies just not speak properly?
Just classmates, why add "good" in front of it!
"Oh my! Bro, quickly, change direction again, and floor it!"
Song Wenwen, who had just been calm, now looked overwhelmed, almost about to throw Song Ning out to lighten the load and drive herself.
Song Ning: ...
Knowing Zhang Yiming was ahead didn’t make him as scared.
He even felt that if his sister went with Zhang Yiming, she might be safer.
The title of Zombie Emperor wasn’t self-proclaimed; it was genuinely formidable.
So, Song Ning didn’t turn, just braked hard, driving straight ahead.
Within less than a minute, a shadow appeared on the road ahead.
It was a black, cool-looking motorcycle, with a figure sitting on it.
In the figure’s surroundings, all was quiet, without any zombie or mutant animal approaching.
