Most people were irritated when Ming Shu woke them up. They didnât know what she was thinking.
âNing Le disappeared, did anyone see her?â Iâll destroy her plans before she can execute them.
Thatâs how smart I am.
Everyone looked at each other and then scanned their surroundings. Ning Le couldnât be found anywhere.
âStrange, where did Ning Le go?â
âMaybe she went to the washroom?â
Ning Le was part of Bai Xueweiâs team. When they heard that she had disappeared, Bai Xuewei immediately organized the team to look for her.
âChen Wei is gone, too.â
âIâll go see if theyâre in the washroom.â
Bai Xuewei and He Yan went to look for them outside. The rest started discussing and had no intention of going out to search.
They wouldnât risk their lives to look for them even though they had some interactions before.
In Doomsday, you need to take care of your own life.
Bai Xuewei and He Yan came back quickly. They had asked everyone that was patrolling outside. None of them saw Ning Le.
âIâve looked at the stars and predicted that itâs not safe to stay here anymore. Prepare to leave.â Ming Shu gave an inscrutable smile as though she really went to look at the stars.
Everyone started talking.
It was dark outside and there were no stars in sight. How on earth did she look at the stars and made a prediction?
Ming Shu grabbed her bag and waved at the army personnel. All of them packed their bags and followed Ming Shu out.
âWTF!â
She wasnât kidding.
Weâre really leaving.
Bai Xuewei caught up with Ming Shu. âHey, Ning Le isnât back yet. We should look for her first.â
âYou can wait for her here.â Why would I leave if she was here!
Who knows what Ning Le is up to? What if she is scheming something?
For the safety of my snacks, we are moving.
âHow can you do this?â Bai Xuewei gave a look of disbelief. âShe is missing. You should send someone to look for her, not leave just like that.â
âOh.â Ming Shu shone the flashlight on Bai Xueweiâs face. Bai Xuewei blocked the piercing light with her hands and heard a clear voice saying, âIf you care so much about her, you can look for her yourself. I wonât stop you. This task is yours now. All the best.â
Bai Xuewei: ââŠâ
âThose who want to get in the cars, please do so now. Those who donât, itâs your choice.â
Ming Shu shouted this and turned around to leave with the soldiers. The sound of engines starting floated into the building.
The people who were hesitating hurriedly got up and ran to the cars.
Only a few of them didnât.
This included Bai Xuewei and her team.
Ming Shu didnât move very far. She found a place nearby.
After this entire episode, no one could sleep anymore and they gathered together to discuss.
Around two hours later, the building they were at was suddenly filled with the roars of zombies.
From the sound, there seemed to be more than just one or two of them.
Everyone squeezed in at the window to take a better look.
The lighting was really bad and there was not much to be seen. However, an X-man used his power to light the scene up.
It was packed with zombies.
A chill ran down everyoneâs spines.
If they didnât leave with her, they would have been surrounded by all those zombies.
âHow⊠how did you know the zombies would come?â someone asked Ming Shu, who was leaning by the window and eating non-stop.
âI didnât.â
âThen why did you ask us to leave just now?â
âBecause Ning Le disappeared.â
Ning Le disappeared⊠W hat does that have to do with the zombies?
You mean Ning Le brought the zombies there?
âDid you purposely ask someone to do it?â someone questioned. How could there be such a coincidence? Once they left, the zombies came.
Whatâs more, she had a conflict with Ning Le before.
Ming Shu smiled at the accusation. âIf I did this, you all will be in that building now fighting with the zombies.â
âYou might still need us.â Most of them were X-men. She would not let so many X-men die wastefully.
âYouâre thinking too much.â
If Ding Qiuyi hadnât sent these people to her, she wouldnât even bother with them.
Ming Shuâs casual attitude caused the crowd to feel lost.
What exactly happened tonight?
The fight was still ongoing in the building. No one suggested saving their comrades. Everyone was quiet and just stared silently.
Very quickly, the X-manâs light disappeared and only the roars of the zombies were left.
Everyoneâs heart turned cold.
Were they all dead?
âŠ
Time passed and the sun started rising, chasing the darkness away.
They could see the situation in that building. There were still some zombies loitering around.
Just as they were staring, a shadow of a person appeared and someone immediately positioned his gun to aim at the shadow.
Through the scope, he recognized the shadow as a living person and said excitedly, âThere are survivors.â
âŠ
The survivors were Bai Xuewei and He Yan, as well as Ning Le and Chen Wei, and three other men. The rest were lost and no one knew if they were dead or alive.
Bai Xuewei seemed to be hurt and He Yan was a mess, too.
âYou allâŠâ Ning Le saw everyone when she entered and was confused.
She arrived after the zombies had attacked the building. She was not planning to enter, but unfortunately, she bumped into Bai Xueweiâs group as they were running out.
Left with no choice, she could only help them kill the zombies. At that point in time, she was still wondering why there were so few people left, and Ye Miao and her men had disappeared, too. However, there were too many zombies and she didnât have time to ask.
âNing Le, why did you bring the zombies over?â the man who escaped with Ning Le questioned her seriously.
He regretted not leaving with Ming Shu.
Of course, there was no use regretting now.
Ning Leâs heart dropped but she denied it calmly. âI didnât. Why would I bring zombies over?â
The man continued asking, âWhy did you disappear in the middle of the night?â
Ning Le had already thought of her answer and just repeated it: âI saw something outside and went to investigate it.â
âDid you manage to catch it?â
Ning Le braced herself and shook her head.
âThe zombies came after you left. How dare you say that it had nothing to do with you?â
âExplain yourself, Ning Le. What exactly happened?â
Chen Wei couldnât keep quiet anymore and shouted at Ming Shu, âWhy arenât you all suspecting Ye Miao? Her men were patrolling yesterday and she had a conflict with us. Sheâs the most suspect.â
âPlease, the one that I had a conflict with is Ning Le. Why would I bring the zombies over if sheâs not there? Do I want to commit suicide?â Ming Shu stared helplessly at Chen Wei.
âYou donât like any one of us,â Chen Wei reasoned fallaciously, âand now you want to frame Ning Le. Why are you so evil?â
Ning Leâs plan was to let Ye Miao be attacked by the zombies. Even if she didnât die, everyone would blame her and it would be easier for her to stand out then and do something.
Ning Le calmed down. âI donât know what happened, but I never did anything to harm you guys.â
Her target was only Ming Shu. The rest were just unlucky.
This statement was actually true.
Ming Shu smiled. Ning Le remained composed.
Everyone was confused and couldnât decide who to believe.
