The World Turned into Zombies, So I Went Back to the Countryside to Farm 79p2

Chapter 79p2: Lou Xiao

The people at the police academy would sometimes joke when they saw their overly similar faces, but every time, Wen Zhao would raise her eyebrows and put her arm around her shoulder with a big smile.

“That’s right, that’s right. We’re sisters. So what?”

After a long time, even Lou Xiao got used to it.

She got used to her always being by her side.

She got used to her always competing with her openly and secretly.

She got used to her becoming her shadow and her right-hand man.

Until the PRRF came to the police academy to select people.

Wen Zhao also submitted her resume.

Lou Xiao: “Are you crazy? That’s the most dangerous place. Isn’t it good to join the police force peacefully after graduation?”

But Wen Zhao just smiled slightly.

“Wherever you go, I’ll go. You’ll need me.”

Lou Xiao had always thought that she didn’t know their relationship, until the “sister” that had come out of her mouth when she was on the verge of death had made her, who had been in prison for ten years, burst into tears.

That was the first time she had called her “sister,” and also the last.

There were many things that Lou Xiao didn’t know. For example, when the arrest warrant for her was issued within the PRRF.

Wen Zhao had also rushed into the Hong City municipal government building, found their nominal mayor father, and threw a paternity test report in front of him.

“Do you… do you know… she… she is your own daughter… my… own sister!”

“I know.” The middle-aged man just calmly picked up the scattered reports and put them in the shredder.

It was written on it that their paternity index was >10000, which supported the existence of a half-sibling relationship.

“Arresting her is an order from above. I can only let you go to get you and your mother out of this.”

“As for the fact that you also have a biological sister, you can decide for yourself whether to tell your mom or not, if you want to see her sad.”

The man’s cold words shattered all her hopes.

The command for an emergency assembly came from the headset.

Wen Zhao turned and left.

“Sooner or later, you will regret it.”

The night Lou Xiao had left home, she had come to the criminal A Biao’s house. It was a heavily guarded single-family villa.

Besides the electronic eye at the entrance, there were also security guards who patrolled 24 hours a day. Lou Xiao had knocked out a cleaner in a blind spot of the surveillance, changed into his clothes, and entered the villa from the underground garage.

It was late at night.

The house was quiet.

Lou Xiao was wearing a mask, a hat, and gloves. To prevent leaving footprints, she had even put on shoe covers.

The TV in the living room was still on.

The young man, who was supposed to be in prison, was fast asleep on the sofa. Wine bottles were scattered on the coffee table.

Hate welled up in Lou Xiao’s eyes, but she knew the purpose of her trip. She held a flashlight and walked straight to the study.

When she was investigating the case, she had found that this guy was also involved in a criminal gang that was selling human organs underground. The innocent girls, when their bodies were found, the autopsy results showed that they were always missing a kidney or something else.

Such a large-scale organized crime could not have been done by him alone. Lou Xiao thought of the guy’s background. His father was the general manager of a nationally renowned pharmaceutical company.

Perhaps, even the government was involved.

She had to dig out this whole group of worms.

Lou Xiao gently pushed open the study door and walked carefully in the darkness. She soon reached the desk, took off her mask, held the flashlight in her mouth, and rummaged through the drawers.

It wasn’t in the drawers, so it must be in the safe.

Lou Xiao squatted down and used sound decoding to decipher it. With a click, the lock opened, and a cloud of mist also came out.

“Oh no!”

Lou Xiao’s eyes sharpened. By the time she came to her senses and covered her mouth and nose, it was already too late. Her body was limp and had no strength. When she fell, someone took her gun from her arms, deftly loaded it, and turned to leave.

When she woke up, she was also in a pool of blood.

The blood that had flowed from under the man’s head had already soaked the sofa and was dripping down from his hanging fingertips.

Lou Xiao’s hands were also slippery. She could barely hold the gun. That’s right… the gun…

She looked down and saw that her hands were also covered in blood. The blood-stained gun was held tightly in her hand!

Lou Xiao got up from the ground and looked through the open crack in the bedroom door. The old man was lying face down on the ground, a pool of blood under him, his eyes still staring at the ceiling with unwillingness.

The effect of the anesthetic had not yet worn off.

The world was spinning in front of her.

Two bodies were also lying on the spiral staircase. The woman seemed to have been trying to escape with her child and was killed from behind with a single blow.

A long trail of blood stretched all the way down the stairs.

Lou Xiao took two steps back with the gun.

“No, impossible… this is impossible…”

She came to her senses and was about to take out her phone with a trembling hand when her mother’s text message popped up on the screen.

“Xiao Xiao, come home for dinner after the mission. I’ve made your favorite braised pork. No matter how busy you are, you have to take care of your health.”

In that instant, the door was kicked open.

The first batch of nearby patrol officers had already arrived. They looked at her, who was covered in blood, and aimed their guns at her.

“Drop the gun and raise your hands!”

She knew she couldn’t surrender, otherwise the suspicion of murder would never be cleared. Although she had indeed come tonight with the thought of a life-and-death struggle, she had never thought of killing anyone.

Lou Xiao leaped over the dining table in a single bound and rushed out the door. The patrol officers all opened fire. She twisted and turned in the rain of bullets, grabbed the arm of the patrol officer closest to her, and hit him on the chin with her knee. In the blink of an eye, she had injured several people.

Just as she was about to run out, the sound of a helicopter circling came from outside. Wen Zhao descended from the sky and broke in through the window.

“PRRF, Lou Xiao, you are under arrest.”

The cleaner who had been knocked out in the basement, the shell casings that had been dropped on the scene, and the ballistics comparison that had confirmed that they were fired from her gun, as well as the gold bars that had been found in her office, all became irrefutable evidence that she was the murderer.

Even though she had refused to plead guilty in her statement, she was still sentenced and went from a glorious commander to a prisoner in an instant.

Just like now, she was still unable to defend herself.

Qingshan grabbed her by the collar, tore off the Green Treasure from her neck, and held it up high.

“Do you think that by stealing someone else’s ID, changing your name, and stealing things, they will become yours?!”

Jiang Zao was kneeling on the ground. She looked at her holding the Green Treasure, and a scene from the past flashed in her mind.

“What are you doing?”

“This is called a Green Treasure. It’s a kind of identification tag for us. It’s used to identify us if we’re injured or killed in action. I have to take it.”

“Then why didn’t I find this on you when I saved you?”

“I probably lost it when I was running for my life.”

It was only now that Jiang Zao remembered that when she had first checked her identity, Wen Zhao’s answer had been a little too smooth.

If it wasn’t her personal experience, then there was another possibility, which was that she had premeditated it and had made preparations in advance.

And that time when she was about to interrogate the boss of the Dragon Tiger Gang, she had been pierced through the chest by Wen Zhao’s knife and had died on the spot.

Wen Zhao was not a bloodthirsty person. Her somewhat abnormal behavior that day had actually caught Jiang Zao’s attention, but too many things had happened afterwards, and they were busy saving Little Mi.

No one had mentioned this matter again.

The scattered clues finally connected in her mind.

Jiang Zao’s eyes widened in disbelief. She made a “whimpering” sound, wanting to run out and ask her clearly, but she was hit on the head with the butt of a gun and fell into the mud.

“Give it back to me!”

Wen Zhao struggled to her feet but was kicked in the back of the knee and had to kneel at her feet with a thud.

Qingshan bent down and held her by the neck.

“I’ll tell you one more thing. Zao’er liked me first. You’re just a substitute. If you weren’t wearing this skin, and were just a murderer…”

“Do you think she would have saved you from the zombies? Would she have been with you?!”

“Jiang Zao, actually, I’ve always had a question for you.”

“If it’s like last time, asking if I can predict the apocalypse, then forget it.”

“I was just wondering, if… if I wasn’t from the PRRF, would you still have saved me?”

“Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?”

“The truth.”

“No. I wouldn’t have saved someone whose identity was unclear and brought danger upon myself.”

Wen Zhao bit her lower lip at that moment, and a roar came from her throat. Even her throat was filled with the taste of blood.

She almost bit her silver teeth to pieces. The glimmer of light that was left in her eyes was like a flickering candle in the wind.

“No… no… Little Zao is not the kind of person you say she is! We said… we said we would be together for the rest of our lives!”

Looking at the ring on her hand, which was identical to Jiang Zao’s, Qingshan was inexplicably annoyed. She kicked her down and stomped on her fingers with the sole of her military boot.

“Is that so? Then didn’t you agree to escape together? Guess why she didn’t come?”

Large beads of sweat dripped from Wen Zhao’s temples. Her whole face was red from the severe pain, but she knew she couldn’t make a sound. Once she cried out in pain, it would be a submission to the madman in front of her.

She had already lost too much. The people she wanted to protect had all left her one by one. Only Jiang Zao, she could not lose.

Seeing the ring being deeply embedded in the mud, and the sound of bones breaking, Wen Zhao’s fingers were also red and swollen.

She didn’t make a sound, but even the veins on her neck were bulging from the severe pain. Jiang Zao, who was lying on the ground, was roaring, her face covered in tears. The tears slid down and disappeared in the rain.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, washing away everything.

“Isn’t it because she knew the truth and was disheartened with you? You’ve deceived her for so long. Shouldn’t you be punished?!”

Qingshan turned around and shouted at the people below the stage.

“For such a heinous murderer and liar, how should we deal with her?”

“Kill her! Kill her!”

“Killing her is too easy for her. She should be dragged to the church and whipped first, and then killed!” Teacher Meng said.

“Burn her. Let the Lord purify her soul!”

“Throw her out to feed the zombies.”

…

Wen Zhao’s gaze swept over their faces one by one. The people who did not know the truth, but their faces were all the same, crazy and numb. The person who had always been resolute, who had not shed a tear even when her finger was cut off, at this moment, burst into loud laughter.

This laughter was so sharp in Qingshan’s ears, as if it were mocking her foolishness and their ignorance.

Qingshan grabbed her by the collar, like lifting a dead dog, and gritted her teeth. “What are you laughing at… a prisoner… look at you now… what do you have to be proud of?!”

Wen Zhao’s face was pale, but the glimmer of light in her pupils made her eyes even brighter.

“I’m laughing at you… no matter how well you disguise yourself… you can’t hide the cowardice and incompetence in your bones… you just like… like to be an opinion leader… maybe only then…”

“Will your failed life look… a little better.”

Wen Zhao said intermittently, and a mouthful of blood was spat on her face. “Little Zao… will never like you… this kind of person!”
