VAPBDB Chapter 33

Si Huaixi’s reluctance to punish Pei Zhaozhou does not mean he is intolerant of others’ mistakes.

Apart from Pei Zhaozhou, who had been freed from the mental restraints, everyone else remained frozen in place, their hands and feet going numb.

The frozen environment prevented them from escaping. When they were still, they felt a suffocating sensation even in their nostrils, and their backs were bent by the cold and intimidating aura of the man in front of them.

Zhou Fei was unable to move, his dry pupils filled with fear and terror.

Even the most powerful zombies he had ever encountered couldn’t compare to one-tenth of the deadly danger Commander Si posed to him.

Faced with the terrifying aura of the commander, his survival instinct made his scalp tingle, and he just wanted to run away as far as possible. If his body hadn’t been stiff and unable to move, he probably would have been so scared that his legs would have gone weak and he would have crawled away.

Qi Ding, being an ordinary person, was even more terrified; his face turned pale, and his pupils constricted in shock, leaving him dazed and disoriented.

As a slightly better high-level ability user, Yu Xiaolin had a clearer understanding of Si Huaixi’s strength. She knew that if she dared to run away in front of Si Huaixi, she would surely die.

Yu Xiaolin resigned herself to her fate.

The seemingly frozen pupils stared desperately at Qi Ding, who was still alive and well, unharmed, not hit by a bullet, nor had he turned to dust…

She had no other desires. Even if Si Huaixi took advantage of her current inability to move and planned to kill her, she would be willing, as long as it didn’t implicate the innocent Qi Ding.

It’s good that he’s still alive. As long as he’s alive!

For Qi Ding to live, those zombies… those damned zombies, she’ll kill them!

Yu Xiaolin’s eyes suddenly darkened, and her originally petite and delicate face gradually twisted, revealing a sinister and hateful expression.

“Tell me, what exactly happened?”

Si Huaixi looked at the three of them with sharp eyes and asked.

Silence fell over the surroundings.

Zhou Fei suddenly realized he could move his mouth; his eyes lit up, and he immediately said, “Commander Si! I’m a superhuman from the base. I accidentally encountered a female superhuman who was hiding her identity and went berserk, causing chaos, so I came to help. I just happened to run into Brother Pei… What happened next was that Brother Pei fought with this female superhuman. When Brother Pei was about to win, this female superhuman’s boyfriend, an ordinary person who was fearless, insisted on taking a bullet for his berserk girlfriend. That’s about it…”

“This female ability user is definitely not ordinary. I hope Commander Si can investigate her identity. Why is she, an eighth-level wood-type ability user, not using her legitimate ability user identity and instead pretending to live as an ordinary person… By the way, Commander Si, could you please untie me? My legs are probably going to go numb from standing for too long…”

Zhou Fei rattled off a long speech, looking expectantly at Si Huaixi.

Si Huaixi frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping across the scene of the battle. There were indeed traces of fire-attribute attacks, roughly the same as what Zhou Fei had said.

Then he released the mental restraints on him.

Zhou Fei immediately took a breath and took two steps, but his weak and numb thighs hadn’t recovered yet, and he almost fell flat on his face.

Si Huaixi walked up to Yu Xiaolin, his eyes filled with a chilling killing intent: “Do you have any explanation?”

Yu Xiaolin’s sinister expression returned to normal. Her disheveled hair made her look like a lucid madwoman. Her eyes were lowered as she admitted, “No, you can kill me, and I won’t fight back. It’s just that I have some things I must do before I die, which will take some time. Once I’ve finished, you can let me commit suicide.”

Qi Ding was stunned.

How could it be that just a quarrel with Yu Xiaolin led to her going berserk and destroying the Lucheng base, and now she’s even threatening to commit suicide in front of him?!

Qi Ding choked with anger: “Go to hell, Yu Xiaolin! If you’re going to get yourself killed, can’t you at least ask my opinion first?! Aren’t I your boyfriend?!?!”

Yu Xiaolin’s eyes were dark as she continued to say to Si Huaixi, “Qi Ding has nothing to do with this matter. He is just an ordinary person. I can compensate for all the losses of the Lucheng base with all my crystal cores.”

“You saved Qi Ding. I am an eighth-level wood-type ability user. I swore that as long as someone was willing to save Qi Ding in that emergency, I would be willing to pay any price. As long as you can forgive me for a while, you can assign me any dangerous mission you want.”

Si Huaixi’s eyes darkened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, “Any price is acceptable?”

Yu Xiaolin’s face darkened: “Hmm.”

Si Huaixi: “The price is that you will go to jail and unconditionally accept missions from the Lucheng base for a year without pay.”

Yu Xiaolin raised her cold eyes and asked, “Aren’t you going to kill me?”

Si Huaixi said coldly, “I set the rules for the Lucheng base: no one can be killed without cause, whether they are ordinary people or people with superpowers.”

“When I saw the base in ruins and his wounds, I really wanted to kill you.”

Yu Xiaolin understood. He could have killed her at any moment, but he gave her a chance to explain, and she’s still alive… It’s unbelievable…

Commander Si is indeed a strong person with principles who doesn’t kill indiscriminately. If Qi Ding had continued to live in the base where he was, perhaps she could have felt at ease.

Yu Xiaolin said respectfully, “You can keep the price; you can exchange it whenever you want.”

Si Huaixi’s eyes were indifferent: “You can choose to go to jail today or tomorrow. No food will be provided. A superhuman won’t starve to death in a week, right?”

Yu Xiaolin nodded: “No problem.”

After Si Huaixi gave all the instructions, the base’s superhumans arrived later to take Yu Xiaolin away for interrogation.

But Yu Xiaolin suddenly spoke up: “Commander Si, can it be tomorrow? I have some things I must do tonight.”

Si Huaixi lowered his eyes and agreed, “Okay.”

With Commander Si’s permission, the others refrained from arresting Yu Xiaolin for the time being, allowing her to leave.

Pei Zhaozhou looked confused and asked, “Is it really okay to let her go?”

Si Huaixi looked meaningfully in the direction Yu Xiaolin left, while her boyfriend beside her circled her, bewildered and angry. This female superhuman was no ordinary person.

When Yu Xiaolin spoke just now, she emphasized the word “tonight,” and her dark eyes were filled with murderous intent.

She wanted him to witness something, but didn’t want anyone else to find out.

He wanted to see what Yu Xiaolin was going to show him.

They walked quite a distance.

Qi Ding was somewhat angry at Yu Xiaolin’s excessive behavior today, but he couldn’t help but worry and said, “Xiaolin, are you unhappy? I won’t say things like that to upset you anymore. If you want to leave the Lucheng base, let’s leave.”

Yu Xiaolin’s cold gaze softened under Qi Ding’s concerned look.

Yu Xiaolin smiled and said, “Qi Ding, I’m fine. We’ll continue to stay at the Lucheng base.”

Qi Ding scratched his head: “Are you really alright? Weren’t you unhappy living here?”

Yu Xiaolin thought of something; her eyes darkened, and she said, “It’s okay, it’s resolved now. I’m sorry, Qi Ding, I have some things to do tonight.”

Qi Ding asked, “Is there anything I can do to help you?”

Yu Xiaolin: “Yes.”

Qi Ding was overjoyed.

Yu Xiaolin: “Stay in a safe room and don’t go anywhere. Wait for me to come back.”

Qi Ding’s face fell, and he said dejectedly, “Then can you tell me what you’re planning to do?”

Yu Xiaolin shook her head, looking at Qi Ding with gentle eyes, and said, “Everything will be alright.”

‘She’ll kill all those damn zombies tonight!!!’
