Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Interrogation

“Don’t beg me, your problems are handled by her, your Yu Miaomiao, heh heh.”

Zhang Su mockingly pointed at Zheng Xinyu, whose face looked extremely unpleasant, and let out a cold laugh.

Zheng Xinyu saw Chongzi looking at her, feeling both angry and irritated, trusting someone once in such a situation.

“What are you looking at? I feel like smacking you to death!”

“Sister, sister, I’ll do it myself! Beautiful sister, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have guided the bad guys, my heart is rotten, I’m not human, I’m worse than a pig or dog…”

Chongzi knelt on the ground mumbling, slapping his own face repeatedly, creating a loud crackling sound.

Zhang Su took a look at the thoroughly conflicted Zheng Xinyu, patted her shoulder, meaning, it’s up to you.

Crunch…

Stepping forward, he pulled the axe out of Brother Xiang’s lifeless head, a string of blood droplets trailing behind, and then turned to walk toward the house.

In these few days, he had seen and heard too much of life and death, had resolved zombies himself, taken out someone who posed a threat to him, and didn’t need to have any psychological burden.

“Uh, Sister Xinyu, be careful he plays tricks on you.”

Seeing Zhang Su leave, Zhong Xiaoshan gave Zheng Xinyu a small tip, then slowly retreated into the room.

“I’m not human, I’m a shark arm, I’m an orphan, I…”

“Stop howling here, you’ll attract all the zombies, get into the room, we want to ask you something!”

Saying this wasn’t enough to vent her anger, she swung the baseball bat and knocked Chongzi to the ground.

“Don’t hit, don’t hit, I’m going, I’m going…”

Chongzi scrambled into room 801, not daring to act rashly.

Thud.

Chongzi knelt in the middle of the room, looking as if life had no meaning, cheeks slapped so that they looked like rouge had been applied, clearly the strikes were merciless, with a swelling lump on his head.

Zhang Su sat on the sofa, opened a box of wafers, not only enjoying them, but also relaxing on the couch, the fierceness on his face had dissipated, looking like a typical old man at the village head watching the commotion.

Zhong Xiaoshan sat uneasily at the dining table, hesitating over the unfinished snail noodles.

Zheng Xinyu walked back and forth angrily with a baseball bat, already enraged, angry at Chongzi’s deceit, angry at herself for trusting others so easily, angry at Zhang Su for deliberately watching the spectacle…

“Speak, how did you guys find this place?”

Finally, she decided to vent all her frustration on Chongzi, jabbing the baseball bat right at his face.

“I’ll say, I’ll tell everything…”

Chongzi hesitantly moved his head, seeing Zheng Xinyu looking displeased, cried and knelt properly again.

“It was… it was me who led the way, I, actually knew you lived here long ago.”

Zheng Xinyu’s eyes widened, growling, “How did you know? Speak, how did you find out!”

“I, uh, I was staking out at the delivery point, actually… Yu Miaomiao, I’ve liked you for a long time, I had just ordered the latest fruit phone online, if it weren’t for the zombie outbreak, I was planning to give you a surprise soon!”

Chongzi spoke with emotional highs and lows, almost convincingly sincere.

Zheng Xinyu’s face alternated between red and green, if things were different, if the previous situations hadn’t happened, she might have actually been moved for a few seconds, but now…

“I’ll surprise your grandpa!”

Zheng Xinyu swung the baseball bat down, already feeling exceptionally upset after Zhang Su’s rebuke, and now the person trying to harm her was still spewing nonsense, angering her further.

Bang.

“Ah… don’t hit, don’t hit!”

The bat swooped with force, crashing solidly onto Chongzi’s arm, if it weren’t for him falling to the side to release the tension, the bones without much flesh to protect them would have been destroyed!

“Still want to keep babbling?”

Zheng Xinyu was truly furious, growling in a low voice, glaring fiercely like an aggravated orange tabby cat, fur standing on end.

She lacked decisiveness, but it didn’t mean she had no temper, on the contrary, she was easily angered, otherwise, during her live stream she wouldn’t have received mouthwash from fans for her foul language.

“I won’t babble, won’t babble anymore, sister, I really did wrong, I’ll never dare again.”

Chongzi didn’t expect the soft-spoken female broadcaster to be so fierce, this was supposed to be a gentle lady?

Swinging a metal baseball bat and hitting without hesitation, utterly terrifying, but thinking about her being unfazed after killing and calmly eating snacks with those she was mingling with, it didn’t seem surprising.

“Never again, huh? Fine, tell me what you all plan to do here?”

Zheng Xinyu brushed her slightly messy hair, asking indignantly.

“I really…” Chongzi started to lie, but the pain in his arm made him change his words immediately: “I… knew you were planning to challenge staying indoors for a month, hoarding lots of supplies, we came here to take, no, to rob stuff.”

“Huh.”

Zheng Xinyu let out a low hum, unexpectedly finding that Chongzi confessed, leaving her frustrated with no outlet.

“Aren’t you curious about what he planned to do after taking the supplies?”

Beside her, Zhang Su finally spoke up, making Chongzi shiver in fright.

“Right! Tell me, what did you plan to do after taking the supplies?”

Zheng Xinyu copied Zhang Su’s question.

Chongzi cried, looking tearfully at Zhang Su’s direction, feeling utterly set up…

“I, sister, apart from leading the way, I don’t know anything else, it was all Brother Xiang planning, whatever I said he wouldn’t listen, I genuinely don’t know what he planned after taking the supplies.”

Chongzi feared that if he revealed the true plan, Zheng Xinyu might break him apart.

“Enough.”

Zhang Su wiped his hands on the sofa and stood up, stating: “With Brother Xiang dead, he became the ultimate scapegoat; you conveniently shirk everything and dump all dirty water on him, why not speak some real facts.”

“Talk about how you guys made your way up; even if you came from the adjacent unit, it’s unlikely it was smooth sailing, from the first to the eighth floor, how many zombies were there?”

Zhang Su took over the interrogation from Zheng Xinyu.

Chongzi suddenly felt the tall and formidable man before him was rather friendly, sniffed hard, changed his expression to a smile uglier than crying, and said: “Brother, it’s not as bad as you think.”

“Previously, some shark arm used music to lure all the zombies away from our building’s front, and Brother Xiang and I seized the chance…”

Splat…

Chongzi looked curiously at the still-angry but unable-to-resist-laughing Zheng Xinyu, wondering if he had said something wrong?

Seeing Zhang Su’s face turning iron-gray, he felt a chill and quickly waved his hands: “No, previously some living Bodhisattva used music to lure zombies away, Brother Xiang and I were just two shark arms seizing the chance to come from the second unit…”

Noting Zhang Su’s facial expression easing slightly, Chongzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, unable to ponder why someone would lure zombies away, guessing it was likely for an experiment, but continued speaking.

“The situation at the first unit is quite fine; just two zombies on the first floor… uh, you call those things zombies? Yeah, encountered two zombies upon entering the unit, but didn’t meet any more zombies all the way up to the eighth floor.”
