Chapter 151: Chapter 151: So Malicious at Such a Young Age

"Among the survivors we brought back from Jiang City, there was a Half-infected hiding. Just now, this Half-infected suddenly went mad and bit two ordinary people!"

Ji Xing’s voice, slightly anxious, came through the walkie-talkie, "Brother Kai and Brother Siming have already subdued the Half-infected. The other survivors living in the same villa have also been moved. The two ordinary people who were bitten have started to show early symptoms of Corpse Transformation. What should we do now?

Right, the two people who were bitten and the Half-infected all have family members with them, and their families are very agitated right now. Dad and Mom are doing their best to calm them down."

Ji Wanwan’s eyebrows furrowed, and she instantly lost her appetite to continue eating.

Sitting across from her, Xia Li swallowed the piece of meat in her mouth, "Two human lives; if not handled well, it could cause dissatisfaction among the other survivors at the base. You need to be careful."

Looking at the unfinished meat in the pot, she paused for a moment, swallowing with some reluctance, "I’m full. You go ahead with your tasks. I’ll keep an eye on Haozi here. If there’s anything, I’ll call you."

She had just begun eating not long ago, and knowing Xia Li’s appetite, she could easily eat 10 more plates of meat.

Ji Wanwan knew very well that Ah Li was doing this so she could deal with the situation without any distractions.

She put down her chopsticks full of apology, "I’ll go and come back soon. We’ll continue eating later."

Xia Li nodded, "Mhm, go on!"

...

Hurrying along based on Ji Xing’s directions, Ji Wanwan quickly arrived at the quarantine villa. About a hundred meters from the villa, a crowd had gathered.

Ji Wanwan was somewhat amused.

Indeed, no matter the time, being a spectator was in human nature.

Even though these people were scared to death, with superpower awakeners blocking the front, they could boldly gather to watch.

"Ahem..."

To make her way through smoothly, Ji Wanwan coughed lightly from behind the crowd, signaling that they should make way.

This cough scared the onlookers half to death, causing a commotion as they nearly jumped up in alarm.

Ji Wanwan’s mouth twitched, and she had to try hard to suppress a smile before saying, "Excuse me, excuse me..."

The frightened people blankly stared at the Lord, hearts pounding, even forgetting to greet her until after the Lord had entered the house and they came back to their senses.

Forget it, no more watching, it could scare someone to death!

The crowd dispersed a little, but still, more than half, unable to suppress their curiosity, reluctantly stayed behind.

As soon as Ji Wanwan pushed open the door, she heard the frenzied zombie moan coming from inside.

"Thud!"

Along with the moan, there came a loud banging on a door from the left side bedroom on the first floor.

On the living room sofa, the Ji Family members, Zhou Kai, and Xu Siming were all present. When they saw Ji Wanwan arrive, they immediately got up and gathered around her.

On one side, sitting around the dining table was the bitten individuals’ family, and on the other side, sitting in the corner by the stairs was the family of the Half-infected. They, too, stood up, but didn’t come closer. They watched Ji Wanwan from a distance, cautious and wary.

Ah, truly a headache-inducing scene.

Ji Xing was the first to speak, "Sister!"

He pointed towards the room from which the noise had just emanated, "The people in this room are the two that were bitten."

As he spoke, he pointed towards a bedroom on the first floor to the right, "Over there, that room has the half-infected who went mad. This person has now regained consciousness, but to prevent him from injuring others, we’ve still locked him up."

Ji Wanwan nodded her head, quickly reviewing the current situation in her mind.

Considering the noises coming from the left bedroom, those two bitten have surely undergone corpse transformation and can’t be left here any longer.

The half-infected on the right is an unstable element. Whether it’s for the safety of the base personnel or to give an explanation to the family members of the bitten, this person certainly cannot stay. As for whether he is to be expelled or eliminated, that would depend on the reactions of the other survivors.

Ji Wanwan turned her gaze towards the left bedroom housing the bitten, and raised her hand to form a space barrier, "Open the door. I want to check on their condition first."

Ji Xing nodded slightly and stepped forward to open the door.

Seeing fresh flesh, the now-zombified individuals inside the room crazily rushed forward, only to slam into the invisible space barrier. Despite being thrown to the ground by the immense rebounding force, they stubbornly got up and continued to lunge towards the people outside the room.

Through the space barrier, Ji Wanwan clearly saw that the pupils of these two individuals had completely disappeared, leaving only a scarlet red in the bottom of their eyes.

Unlike the half-infected, the skin of these two zombified individuals had turned a greenish-black, clearly indicating that the mutation was complete with no possibility of regaining consciousness.

The family members of the two looked on earnestly, yet fear stopped them from moving closer.

Human nature is so complex; love and fear can coexist.

Ji Wanwan, seeing this in their eyes, turned back to approach the family members, "It is our negligence that we failed to detect the half-infected in time. I, on behalf of the base, offer our profound apologies to you."

She bowed deeply, "I’m sorry!"

One of the family members, overcome with emotion, began to berate Ji Wanwan, "What good is sorry! We trusted you so much, coming all the way from Jiang City to Liancheng, and this is how you treat us?"

Ji Wanwan remained calm, "Indeed, it is our failure. As compensation, after your official settlement, the base will charge each of your pass cards with 50,000 points to purchase supplies."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of several people eased slightly.

But human desire is not so easily satisfied. One of them, with dark and murky eyes shimmering with a hint of shrewdness, said, "Is a human life only worth 50,000 points to you?! Let me tell you, my brother’s life is priceless, don’t think you can calm things down just by offering some points."

Ji Wanwan chuckled, "Then, what would you have us do?"

Taking Ji Wanwan for an inexperienced youth easy to manipulate, the person said, "Do you have the authority to decide? Let your base leader come out to talk to me!"

Without directly stating that she was the lord herself, Ji Wanwan replied, "Rest assured, everything I promise here today will certainly be fulfilled."

The person was about to continue when, upon catching sight of Ji Wanwan’s intimidating gaze, he swallowed his words and hummed indignantly, "Since you are in charge, I’ll just say it. 50,000 is too little, at least 100,000! It was you who wanted us to come to Liancheng. Now that this has happened, your base has to take responsibility!"

Ji Wanwan laughed lightly, "Take the 50,000 and let this matter rest, or take your brother and return to Jiang City. Choose one."

Shocked, the person became agitated, "What?! Return to Jiang City?! What do you mean by that?! Just want to wash your hands of the responsibility? With so many zombies in Jiang City, are you trying to get me killed?! How can you be so vicious at such a young age?"

As he spoke, he attempted to shove Ji Wanwan, "I’m telling you, this isn’t over! I’ll make sure everyone at the base knows how dark this place is!"

Before he could touch Ji Wanwan’s clothes, a metal plate appeared out of thin air, and the person ended up pushing against the metal plate...
