Chapter 127: Lu Linlin
Lu Linlin’s face changed drastically. She didn’t even bother with the child in her arms, rushing to Sang Chu’s side and saying in a hoarse but stern voice, “Go, hurry and go. Don’t mind us. Take Xiao Feng and leave immediately!”
As she spoke, she forcefully grabbed Sang Chu with one hand. Her grip was so strong that Sang Chu was lifted up by her. Sang Chu was completely stunned, then quickly soothed her, “Sister, don’t rush. Can you slowly tell me what happened?”
As Sang Chu spoke, she unconsciously used her Mental Power to calm Lu Linlin’s inner anxiety. But who knew, her Mental Power actually took a detour within Lu Linlin’s body and attacked her?
Sang Chu conjured a Shield with a casual movement, dispersing the Mental Power that was attacking her. At this moment, she finally noticed the child in Lu Linlin’s arms. Her big, round eyes were dark and made people feel a chill.
But Lu Linlin seemed to have lost her senses, standing there blankly. Sang Chu felt uneasy and said to the child, “Are you also a Mental Supernatural Ability User?”
The little girl was very thin, but her eyes were exceptionally large. She seemed not to understand what this person was saying, tilting her head innocently and resting on her mother’s shoulder.
Sang Chu took a step forward, but the girl’s eyes widened vigilantly as she stared at her. Sang Chu was caught off guard and instantly entered the little girl’s Mental Domain.
“Little sister, I mean no harm. I am a friend of your mother and grandmother. I’m here to find them. We can take you with us, and then you won’t go hungry or cold anymore.”
Sang Chu didn’t want to confront this four or five-year-old little girl unless absolutely necessary. But the little girl seemed unable to speak. Sang Chu could feel a pair of eyes staring at her within the Mental Domain, but she didn’t know where they were.
Sang Chu: “You should be able to sense that I’m not a bad person. I just want to help you. Little sister, you are very strong, but this Power shouldn’t be used on those who are helping you. Don’t you think so?”
Sang Chu’s calmness also calmed Pei Zhao. She had initially controlled her mother out of fear and terror, and then attacked Sang Chu. Now, she seemed to realize that this person truly had no ill intentions towards them, unlike the people they had encountered before.
The Mental Domain vanished instantly, and Lu Linlin also regained consciousness. She saw the Protective Shield in front of Sang Chu, then looked down at her daughter, and immediately understood that her daughter’s Supernatural Ability had gone out of control again.
She quickly covered her daughter’s eyes and said to Sang Chu with a voice full of pleading, “No, don’t tell anyone.”
The child’s Supernatural Ability was very high, which was not a good thing for her or for Lu Linlin. Sang Chu naturally understood the strangeness of Qing Liu City and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t. It’s just that you can’t stay here anymore. The child’s current situation is very dangerous. Her Supernatural Ability Level is too high and uncontrollable. If this continues, it’s only a matter of time before someone discovers her.”
How could Lu Linlin not know this? She hesitated, then looked towards the door. After a long while, she said, “My father and my husband are at the Zombie King Lin Yu’s Base, so we can’t leave. You hurry and take my Younger Brother away, and don’t come back to Qing Liu City. I’ll find you tonight, and I’ll take you away.”
After saying this, she walked past Sang Chu and opened the door, stepping outside. Liang Yali, who was outside the door, saw her daughter rush out and quickly supported her, “Linlin?”
“Mom.”
Lu Linlin called out with complex emotions. She didn’t want her mother to know about her Younger Brother’s arrival, but she didn’t dare to be too obvious. With so many people around, who knew if there were spies from others here.
Sang Chu’s mind was filled with Lu Linlin’s words. What did she mean by father and husband being with the Zombie King?
Wasn’t Qing Liu City the territory of Mutated Plants? What did it have to do with the Zombie King?
It seemed Qing Liu City was not as simple as she had imagined.
Sang Chu glanced at the Crystal Cores scattered on the ground, threw away the items that had been Accelerated Growth, and walked out. “Elder Yan, the people here seem quite wary of me. To avoid making everyone anxious, I’ve put the things inside. You can distribute them. I’ll take the Crystal Cores. If you need anything else, you can find Han Song. I’m currently staying at Han Song’s place.”
Elder Yan looked at Sang Chu with discerning eyes and nodded slightly, “Alright, I’ll see you out then.”
“Mm.”
Throughout the entire process, Sang Chu did not look at Lu Linlin again. She only left Tu You behind to follow, in case of any special circumstances.
Lu Minfeng: “You’re saying my Sister told us to leave quickly?”
“Mm.”
Everyone in the room except for their own people had left. Sang Chu sat on a chair, her face full of exhaustion, and responded in a low voice.
Sang Jing Wen had already asked Mu Xue to return to the Hovercar to rest, as her condition was too poor. The moment she started crying, blood began to seep from her facial orifices, so he immediately took her into the Hovercar.
After listening to Sang Chu’s words and thinking about Mu Xue’s situation, his expression became unprecedentedly grim. Xiao Yi Fei, who was beside him, was startled, “A Wen, what’s wrong? Why do you have such a terrifying expression?”
Sang Chu and Lu Minfeng looked at him in unison. Sang Jing Wen said softly, “If there’s a Zombie King nearby, then the zombies Mu Xue sensed should be its subordinates. After you all left, Mu Xue’s orifices bled, and her condition was very bad.”
Sang Chu and Lu Minfeng became anxious upon hearing this, “How is she now?”
“I took her directly into the Hovercar and advised her to wait for us inside.”
Lu Minfeng was anxious and angry, but upon hearing Sang Jing Wen’s words, he felt a sense of relief, “That’s good. Mu Xue is stubborn and a bit proud. Even if she’s uncomfortable, she’ll endure it.”
If he and Sang Chu were there, they would prioritize her emotions. However, Sang Jing Wen could force her to rest, which was good for her.
Sang Chu: “Brother, what do you think?”
Sang Jing Wen: “If there’s a Zombie King here, then what Ah Yi and I saw can be explained.”
“You mean the people in the tree?”
Sang Jing Wen nodded and opened his Optical Computer, bringing up a photograph. “This is what I took before I left. Look at the bottom right corner of this person.”
After zooming in, the bottom right corner of the tree hollow was empty, with nothing there.
Xiao Yi Fei: “There’s nothing here, is there?”
Lu Minfeng frowned slightly, “It’s precisely because there’s nothing that it’s terrifying. Perhaps, this is the Zombie King my sister mentioned.”
Xiao Yi Fei looked at the other three with tense expressions and then at the empty space in the photograph, his head full of question marks.
“No, can you three speak human language? How can this hole, which isn’t even half my size, be the Zombie King? Can you stop speaking in riddles and take care of someone like me with a not-so-good brain?”
