Chapter 113: Reborn

Fu Shinan couldn’t be bothered to talk to Liu Xuezhou. She just kicked him hard in the mouth, and blood flowed from the corner of his lips.

“Ah!” Liu Xuezhou let out a miserable scream, then cursed, “If you have the guts, just kill me. When I get out of here alive, I won’t spare any of you!”

Fu Shinan coldly snorted, “You think I don’t dare to kill you? I’m just giving them a chance. If they don’t act today, you won’t escape death either!”

Liu Xuezhou sneered, “Stop trying to scare me. I know your gun is empty. How are you going to kill me? You little bitch, have you ever killed anyone before?”

Fu Shinan aimed the hunting rifle at Liu Xuezhou’s head. “Do you think having no bullets means I can’t kill you? You have such limited knowledge…” She was about to make her move when suddenly, Wei Xinyi, who had been silently crying, grabbed the gun from Fu Shinan’s hand and fiercely smashed it onto Liu Xuezhou’s head.

Wei Xinyi seemed to have completely forgotten how to speak. She wordlessly struck him again and again.

Seeing Wei Xinyi suddenly go mad, Shi Chan’er was stunned. Then, she saw Liu Xuezhou, with his head covered in blood, on the brink of death. In an instant, she no longer found Liu Xuezhou as terrifying! She also gathered her courage, ran over, picked up some nearby broken rocks, and ruthlessly smashed them into Liu Xuezhou’s groin.

“Ah!” This time, the almost lifeless Liu Xuezhou let out a miserable scream.

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Chan’er stopped.

Wei Xinyi also dropped the hunting rifle, opened her mouth, and with a hoarse voice, cried out, “Dad, I’ve avenged you…” She could finally speak again.

Fu Shinan stood on the side, her eyes filled with tears. Seeing that the two of them had released their pent-up anger, they had taken the first step. She walked over slowly, gently embracing the two of them. “It’s okay now. From now on, we’ll support each other, and we will definitely survive better!”

Wei Xinyi hugged Fu Shinan and said with effort, “Sis, I’ll follow you well from now on.”

Shi Chan’er choked up as well and added, “Me too. I won’t let men bully me ever again!”

“Good,” Fu Shinan reassured them. The three of them together tossed the mangled Liu Xuezhou outside.

By now, it was completely dark outside. Liu Xuezhou, covered in blood, would surely attract the attention of the zombies. He had no chance of surviving the night.

To prevent the zombies from smelling the blood inside the room, Fu Shinan found a nearly empty bottle of white wine and poured it on the floor. She then wiped away the bloodstains and tossed the cloth onto Liu Xuezhou.

After all this, the three of them cooked rice porridge to fill their stomachs. However, as they were washing the dishes, they heard the sounds of zombies outside.

Shi Chanter froze in fear.

Wei Xinyi’s face turned pale.

Fu Shinan whispered, “It’s okay, I used to live in this underground shelter. The zombies can’t get in.” But after a while, she seemed to hear some rapid footsteps, which were distinctly different from the slow, dragging footsteps of zombies. This made her uneasy, so she went to the door and listened carefully.

In a daze, she thought she heard the sound of fists hitting flesh. Was someone fighting the zombies? Could it be that Liu Xuezhou hadn’t died? But even if he hadn’t died, he couldn’t possibly have the strength to fight the zombies after being injured so badly, right? Were there other survivors?

Fu Shinan couldn’t see the outside situation at all. This was an underground shelter with the only small window sealed shut. However, she couldn’t go out to check at this moment. She hoped she was just overthinking it. If there were really other survivors, they would likely seek help.

But as the night went on, Fu Shinan didn’t hear any knocking or cries for help. The zombie’s howling also gradually subsided. Fu Shinan looked at Shi Chan’er and Wei Xinyi, who were holding hands and nervously looking outside. She tried to comfort them, “Get some rest, it’s quiet now. Rest up and tomorrow, we’ll go search for supplies!”

Shi Chan’er heard this, but she had no sleepiness at all. In fact, she was even a bit excited. She had grown up in a financially struggling family, and her parents always told her not to cause trouble because they couldn’t afford it. She remembered this from a young age, and it had shaped her into a timid and fearful person. Throughout her school years, she endured bullying from classmates but never dared to fight back. Over time, she became submissive. When forced by Liu Xuezhou and his group, even if she had a tiny desire to resist, their cruelty crushed her spirit completely.

Now, seeing that despicable person utterly defeated, she felt an indescribable sense of relief. She felt like her oppressed life had finally found a glimmer of hope. “Sis, I’m not tired, I can’t sleep.. Can you talk to me?”
