Chapter 518: Chapter 516: Threat

"Let’s go."

In the small clinic of the refugee camp, Wu Xiaohui had waited all day without news of her son, and her husband had lost his voice completely, his hands immobile, and she could no longer bear the hunger.

Without work, no one would give out bread; she asked around and found Momo Restaurant.

Nowadays, who didn’t know Su Mo? She was her daughter’s teammate.

Su Mo was humming a tune while cooking when Lu Chen returned, dusty from the road, with a tail following him.

Hearing the commotion, Su Mo said without turning around, "You’re back? Dinner will be ready soon."

The man approached her as usual, wrapped his arms around her waist for a moment, then said, "Someone’s here."

Su Mo turned off the stove and, together with him, carried the dishes out, where they saw Wu Xiaohui sitting on a chair.

She was much more cautious and careful than Zhao Dazhi, sitting up straight with her knees together.

At the sight of the food in Su Mo’s hands, her stomach growled loudly.

"What brings you here? Looking for your son or Zhao Changsheng?" Su Mo put down the utensils and gestured for her to take a seat.

"Looking for my daughter," Wu Xiaohui replied with difficulty.

"No daughter here, though I do know where your son is," Su Mo said, her smile mysterious.

"He’s been out of sight all day, and we can’t afford the medical bills at the doctor’s!" Suddenly, Wu Xiaohui knelt before Su Mo, hands clasped in a plea, "Please, I beg you, let me see my daughter. She wouldn’t stand by and let her father die."

This place was crowded, and Su Mo, wary of what Wu Xiaohui might say, dragged her by the collar towards the back kitchen and didn’t forget to say to Jiang Yulian and the others, "You go ahead and eat, I’ll deal with something."

The kitchen door slammed shut, and Jiang Yulian, curious, asked Lu Chen, "How come you all avoid Changsheng’s parents so much?"

Lu Chen served her some vegetables and said indifferently, "They hardly count as parents."

"What?"

Li Qian followed his cue, "Gender preference."

Jiang Yulian suddenly looked disdainful, "Boy or girl, they’re all good. What era is it to still hold such backward thoughts?"

Jianxiong agreed earnestly, "Exactly!"

Inside, Su Mo looked at the nearly terrified Wu Xiaohui, squatted in front of her, and spoke softly, "Even though you didn’t choose to save her back then, she has decided to spare your life. I’ll give you a chance, offer you a job to ensure you won’t starve. What do you say?"

All the way here, aside from wearing rags, Wu Xiaohui hadn’t really suffered. She just said with tearful eyes, "I just want my daughter to save her father’s life."

Su Mo was somewhat puzzled, "You’re a woman too. How can you not be upset about your own flesh and blood being disgraced by her father...?"

"Who said I’m not upset! She’s my child! I raised her! But why did she have to seduce her father! I’ve already forgiven her! What more does she want!" Wu Xiaohui exclaimed.

Su Mo was left speechless by her and, after a long pause, managed to say, "For a child to be treated like this by you, you truly deserve no sympathy in death."

She stood up, her gaze lowering as she said coldly, "Zhao Changsheng won’t help you. Your husband will never speak or write again in this life, and as for your son, I’ve already given him away to someone else as a toy. And you..."

She paused, "How about, stay at the end of the commercial street for a while? The Crystal Stones come in fast there, enough for you to live on, even if you’re a bit old for it."

"Are you a devil! I want to see my daughter!! I want to see her! Let her out!" Wu Xiaohui was terrified into tears by Su Mo’s demonic words.

"I am a demon, am I?" Su Mo nodded, "Then you’re not? Using such a young girl up and then discarding her, you’ve abused her childhood and expect her healing to take a lifetime. Where did she go wrong? Just because she has no ’superpower’?"

"If this were a rule of law society, bad people would never receive retribution, right?" Su Mo bent down, her cute face getting close to Wu Xiaohui, and whispered softly, "I’ll spare your lives, but Zhao Changsheng’s secret is not for you to use as a threat against her, you know?"

"Times have changed, if you dare to talk nonsense, I dare to send your whole family to the zombie cage. You must have heard of my status in the refugee camp by now."

After Su Mo finished speaking, a fierce white zombie dog appeared out of nowhere with a flash of white light at her side.

Upon seeing the human woman in front of it, its first reaction was to split its head open and reveal its sharp teeth inside.

"Ahhh!!!! You actually dare to raise zombies in the refugee camp!" Wu Xiaohui was almost scared unconscious and kept crawling backwards.

Su Mo tapped her fingers nonchalantly and said to Da Bai, "She’s not for you to eat, go smell her scent."

Da Bai obediently approached, dripping disgusting mucus on the woman’s head as a threat before returning to Su Mo’s side, docile as could be.

Wu Xiaohui’s face turned pale; she now wished she’d never come to this place.

"Alright, I’ve remembered your scent, hmm, if you want to be driven out as a madwoman, it’s not impossible. Just tell everyone that I’m raising zombies," Su Mo winked at her.

Using a cute face to say the scariest things, the woman dared not retort at all.

She had indeed heard about it, the notice for delivering food, and people beside her said that the refugee camp leader was even supposed to call her ’sister-in-law.’

When did her abandoned daughter get such a powerful and abnormal supporter behind her, someone who could easily crush her? Who on earth had she offended!

Seeing the intimidation was successful, Su Mo stopped while ahead, smilingly said, "If you don’t feel like selling yourself, that’s fine too. The walls of the refugee camp are going to be built higher soon, you can go move bricks obediently. Your husband won’t die, and as for your son, he should be pretty sexually happy right now."

In a certain room, Zhao Li lay tied up in an ’X’ shape on the bed, with a vacant look in his eyes.

Wu Xiaohui left in a daze.

Jiang Yulian couldn’t help but ask, "Girl, what did you say to her?"

"Death would be too easy, life too comfortable; I just gave her a bit of psychological shock," Su Mo picked up chopsticks, grabbed a big piece of meat, and put it in her mouth.

Delicious.

Wu Xiaohui was a typical weak woman; Su Mo wasn’t worried at all that she would expose Zhao Changsheng’s situation.

After everyone finished dinner in high spirits, because they had given the room to Zhao Changsheng, Su Mo and Lu Chen followed Jiang Yulian and the others back to the residential complex to sleep, leaving Li Qian to watch over here first.

Not long after a few people had left, Rong Bai came panting to their door and knocked.

"There’s a situation! There’s a situation!"

As he entered, Jiang Yulian handed him a glass of water, "Take it slow, don’t rush."

Just as Su Mo came out of the bathroom, she saw everyone sitting around the coffee table; she thought something urgent had happened, but Rong Bai excitedly said, "Our radio is always left on, and recently I received a distress message."

"A Level 5 Healing Power User’s team is trapped. They contacted our frequency through an old car and hoped that we could save them."
