On the way back, Tang Susu asked worriedly, ‘System, can you find out more about those missing corpses?’
‘They’re not inside the shelter, including Shi Shaochen. I suspect that when Yuan Lie used his power, he accidentally dragged Shi Shaochen into it, so Shi Shaochen is probably not in this time and space anymore …’
Tang Susu thought of her encounter in Yin City. When the Photokinesis was stopped, the person who was sucked into that space was starting over from that time and space. Yuan Lie should have just obtained the ability not long ago, so the size and range of his ability shouldn’t be too big.
For example, Shi Shaochen might have returned to the time before the entire shelter hunted him down…
“He’s so lucky.” Tang Susu curled her lips. Fortunately, the crystal core was damaged, so his superpower would be severely affected.
And they would not sit still and wait for death to come for them!
When she was halfway home, Tang Susu bumped into Zuo Xun, who was walking with his head down.
Even when Lin Yi spoke to him, he didn’t even bother to reply. His expression was obviously melancholic.
Lin Yi sighed. “Don’t worry too much.”
“What do you know? I don’t have any superpowers, unlike you.” Zuo Xun pursed his lips. “According to them, I won’t have one in the future too!”
Lin Yi’s expression stiffened when he heard his words. “1 can protect you.”
“Who needs your protection?” Zuo Xun’s face darkened. He turned around and saw a figure not far away. His eyes lit up. “Tang Susu, stop!”
Tang Susu stopped in her tracks. “What’s the matter?”
Lin Yi glanced at her and Tang Susu looked over. He immediately turned his head away, revealing his slightly tensed face.
Zuo Xun didn’t care about this scene. “The director is looking for me. You should go.”
“What is it?” Tang Susu was indeed looking for Uncle Wei to explain what happened with Professor He to him.
“It’s said that a corpse was discovered. The manner of death was terrifying…”
The three of them rushed to the No. 4 courtyard that was specially reserved for the management office. Two doctors were doing an autopsy inside, and they were still talking.
“We’re not forensic doctors. We only know that the blood in this person’s body has been sucked dry. He has been dead for about two days. Zombies eat human flesh. To be exact, it’s human flesh. The zombies can’t be behind this.”
“Could it be some blood-sucking mutated animal or plant?” Wei Chunhua was in a terrible state. If they don’t find out the danger, there might be more deaths. A pile of corpses had just disappeared, and now another corpse with an unknown cause of death had appeared
Seeing Tang Susu coming over, his expression relaxed a little, as if he had taken a pill to calm his nerves. “You’re here, Susu. Take a look at what’s going on.”
Tang Susu’s gaze swept over the pale and slightly shriveled corpse. She noticed the tiny hole marks on the person’s neck at a glance.
“Looks like it was done by a rodent?”
The two doctors searched for a long time before they found the bite mark that was so light that it couldn’t be seen. They exclaimed, “You have such good eyesight Ms. Tang. You can see it from so far away.”
Tang Susu smiled and looked at the other parts of the body seriously. “There are no signs of a struggle.”
“This person is a member of Du Feng’s Mad Corpse Metahuman Squad, a fire-type ability user.” Zuo Xun said. Among the five elements, the fire element had the strongest attack power. How could he die without even struggling?
Everyone’s hearts became heavy.
Tang Susu thought of something. “Didn’t the Mad Corpse Squad report anyone missing?”
“They’ve been hiding from us recently. They seem to have the intention of leaving. They’re probably afraid that we’ll attack them.” After all, they were Shi Shaochen’s men and were not on good terms with Zuo Xun.
Wei Chunhua frowned. “If they leave, four metahumans will go with them. Fire, water, earth, and metal. The shelter will be less protected and be in more danger!”
Zuo Xun was unconcerned. “They might not help even if they’re here. They might even attack us during the chaos.”
No matter what, it was one of them who had died. They had to be called over for questioning.
However, when they came over and saw the corpse on the ground, they were all shocked. “Li!!”
One of the youngest couldn’t help but rush over. “It’s you! You killed him!”
Tang Susu looked at him expressionlessly and raised her eyebrows. “Why me?”
“Pretentious woman, go to hell!” The man snorted coldly and quickly conjured a burning ball of fire in his hand and hurled it at her!
The people there were all terrified and shouted anxiously!
Tang Susu dodged it leisurely with smiles in her eyes, before anyone could
even react..
