Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 782: The Death of Wu Zijian

Chapter 782: Chapter 782: The Death of Wu Zijian

Zhao Jin and the others were caught off guard, watching Wu Zijian clutch the long spike in front of his throat with one hand while pointing at Kou Ning with wide eyes, his throat uttering a few syllables, “He, Kou, Kou…”

Wu Zijian fell, silent forevermore.

“Stop!”

Lu Hao, seeing that Kou Ning still wanted to trouble the other few, immediately stopped Kou Ning’s actions.

Unexpectedly, Kou Ning really did stop, but Zhao Jin and the others all pounced on Kou Ning at the same time!

Whoosh!

Vines appeared quickly like shadows behind Kou Ning and firmly bound the remaining six people.

“Wow, not bad for a Wood Element,”

Kou Ning gave a thumbs up to Su Jin behind him; he only knew that Su Jin was Dual-Element and also that she was a Level Seven Wood Element, but he had never seen Su Jin use her Special Ability.

Although Mao Zhihang and Lin Tianzhen, outside the metal wall, were clueless about what was happening inside, they did not panic. Instead, they apologized and dismissed the Survivors who were shopping for supplies in the room.

“Sorry, everyone, the shop has encountered an emergency and will resume operation in an hour,”

Mao Zhihang said.

Although curious, the patrons, seeing that the owners were ushering people out, could only leave. As an apology and to show they would continue business later, Lin Tianzhen even gave out an extra large mutant duck egg to each person present.

“The boss and the lady boss really know how to do business, eh? All right, we’ll come back later.”

People who initially felt unlucky suddenly thought they had stumbled upon a great deal; such a large mutant duck egg could make a whole dish.

Hearing the sound of closing the shop door outside, Su Jin stood up and had Kou Ning withdraw the metal wall. Kou Ning had reacted quite well, even knowing to hide his tracks after killing someone.

“Speak, what’s going on,”

Su Jin asked calmly. Killing was forbidden in the S City base, otherwise one would be expelled. They might want to “cover up” for Kou Ning, but they needed to understand the situation first.

Lin Tianzhen and Mao Zhihang were also startled by the situation in the rest area.

A dead person? Was it Kou Ning who did it?

“Then you might want to ask them. Does C City have a base? And what are you doing here?”

Kou Ning questioned Zhao Jin and the others pointedly.

“Who are you exactly!”

Liu Weicai sensed that something terrible was afoot. Could this person know about that place?

“C City has always been a Dead City, and there has never been a base in C City. Why do I know? Because I spent a good half year there all by myself,”

There seemed to be a hint of nostalgia in Kou Ning’s eyes, but it also shocked Su Jin and the others.

Kou Ning alone, in a Dead City for half a year?

“Are you Kou Ning?!”

Liu Weicai was startled. The freak who had stayed in C City for over half a year was none other than Kou Ning, right? Although they had never met him, they had heard of him.

Kou Ning did not answer but instead innocently said, “You were sent by Han Zhimin, right? Let me guess, here to deal with Heart Talk Team? That won’t do, the Heart Talk Team is my bread and butter now.”

“The Han Family raised you for so long! How could you betray the Han Family?”

Zhao Jin cursed angrily, but his anger was entirely because Kou Ning had sabotaged their mission.

“Haven’t I repaid them? I’ve killed so many people for them, so many Zombies; I gave them millions of Crystal Cores, and they still think of shortchanging me? No chance!”

Kou Ning was very angry when he said these things, and Lu Hao felt that if it weren’t for being inside the S city base, the remaining few people would probably be dead by now. However, it also showed that Kou Ning truly had a significant grudge against the Han Family.

As for Zhao Jin and his companions not denying it, it confirmed what Kou Ning had said; they were indeed sent by Han Zhimin with the Heart Talk Team as their target, but they were inadvertently discovered by Kou Ning.

“Kou Ning, thank you. We’ll take it from here,”

Su Jin said. Regardless of everything, Kou Ning’s actions had directly helped them. Moreover, the situation just now hadn’t been witnessed by anyone from the base. If they explained the circumstances truthfully to Liang Jiuhui, the base probably wouldn’t expel Kou Ning anymore.

“What do you plan to do with these few?”

It was Zhao Jin and his group that Kou Ning referred to, and the ferocity in his eyes indicated he wanted to kill them on the spot.

“Take them to the Security team for interrogation,”

Lu Hao replied.

“Don’t worry. We know what you’re concerned about,”

Su Jin comforted, understanding that Kou Ning’s concern was that these people might be released and then the Han Family would learn of his whereabouts here.

“Good to know. I want to have some peace for a few days. That old guy is such a nuisance,”

Kou Ning said, no longer looking at the bound Zhao Jin and his group, but walking over to a corner and lying down again on the lounger.

The back door of the Heart Talk Team was connected to the yard of the Security team. Seeing that the situation here had been clarified, and after getting a nod from Lu Hao, Mao Zhihang walked toward the back door, planning to hand the matter over to the Security team to deal with.

Lin Tianzhen stayed behind to clean up the scene with his Water Element Ability.

Zhao Jin and the others knew they couldn’t escape, but the culprit was Kou Ning, so they too were angry but didn’t dare to speak up. It was clear to any onlooker that if it weren’t for the Heart Talk Team, they would probably have been killed by Kou Ning right there and then.

Before long, Ye Rongxin arrived with a few people through the back door of the Heart Talk Branch. He had heard about the general situation from Mao Zhihang, and seeing that the people who claimed to be from the C city base had been tied up and unable to move, he ordered them to be taken away directly.

“Kou Ning, you might need to come with us,”

Ye Rongxin said.

Seeing that Kou Ning was still lying on the lounger with no intention of moving, Su Jin smiled and said, “Kou Ning, we’ve cooked up a few dishes using the mutant animals we hunted before, do you want to try them?”

“What dishes? Where?”

As expected, after hearing this, Kou Ning immediately sat up. Ye Rongxin shook his head helplessly, having to admit that even though Kou Ning had once destroyed his cherished gun, he really couldn’t bring himself to hate such a character.

When Liang Jiuhui arrived upon hearing the news, Kou Ning was in the interrogation room of the Security team, feasting away. It was said that Su Jin and Lu Hao had gone back to the villa and made him some dishes, and only then had he agreed to come along.

But answering the questions was mostly Lu Hao, while Kou Ning just ate and nodded along, which made Zhao Jin and his group feel especially displeased.

“What’s the Han Family’s next plan?”

Ye Rongxin asked.

“Don’t know,”

Zhao Jin rolled his eyes, showing a reluctance to cooperate.

“Shall I do it?”

Kou Ning, with his hands greasy from eating, pointed to the group with a chicken bone and asked.

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”

Liu Weicai swallowed hard. Kou Ning’s notoriety was well known to him, and now that they had ended up here, there was no benefit to keeping secrets.

“We only know about our mission. It was to lure the Heart Talk Team to the Dead City in C city. Meanwhile, the family head—oh no, Han Zhimin—they have prepared a trap there, planning to capture the Heart Talk Team in one fell swoop,”

Liu Weicai said somewhat nervously, but Lu Hao, Su Jin, and the others beside him appeared unaffected, as if they were not the ones being discussed.
