Apocalypse: The White Moonlight Became a Possessive Mad Dog

The basement of the research institute was a storage room, and Cheng Gaolang was the only person temporarily living there.

Where did this second body come from?

Before everyone could process the shock, another trembling scream came from the corner of the room.

"There's a body here too!"

Cheng Ruoyan was even more embarrassed.

The ash on the first basement level was almost up to a person's calves. Upon hearing the news, all the survivors in the entire regeneration base rushed over to help.

Su Han naturally wouldn't miss this good show.

After finishing his breakfast, he and Li Tiangan rushed to the scene and met up with Shen Chengyin.

Hearing that several bodies had been recovered from the fire scene, Su Han couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

He didn't find anyone else on the basement level the night he killed Cheng Gaolang; there should have been at most two bodies at the scene.

"Can spatial abilities hide a person's corpse in space?" He whispered in Shen Chengyin's ear.

The boy's warm breath brushed against his earlobe, and Shen Chengyin's eyes softened.

"There is no difference between a dead person and pork."

Anything that isn't alive can be stored in the space. The corpses on the first basement level were most likely hidden there by Cheng Gaolang before his death.

Cheng Gaolang has killed many people in secret, but no one knows it.

"Then do you also put the corpses of the dead into your space?" Su Han asked Shen Chengyin.

Shen Chengyin glanced at him with his eyes lowered, and whether it was Su Han's imagination or not, he felt that the man's eyes carried a hint of accusation.

"No, it's dirty," the man replied in a low voice.

The bodies were carried out one by one and piled up in the square outside. In the end, they were counted, and there were a total of seven bodies.

The surface of the body was charred, and the torso was carbonized and deformed, making it impossible to distinguish which body belonged to Cheng Gaolang.

That's fine too. If there were only two bodies at the scene, Cheng Ruoyan would probably have to find out the identity of the other body even after she died, which might implicate Su Han.

Besides the corpses, countless food sacks were found among the ashes left after the fire, all bearing the logo of the Reconstruction Base.

Since most of the evidence was burned, no one knows exactly how much Cheng Gaolang stole or what was in the space.

The only certainty is that Cheng Gaolang did steal it, and the person who stole the grain was not Shen Chengyin, but Cheng Gaolang, the one everyone trusted—the younger brother of the base leader.

The crowd gathered around the open space, their silent gazes meeting on Cheng Ruoyan.

Cheng Ruoyan understood that these people wanted her to give an explanation.

She gave a helpless, bitter smile, which, combined with her willow-leaf eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, gave her a pitiful look.

"The person who stole the grain was indeed Cheng Gaolang. I'm sorry, as a family member, I never doubted my uncle. But now it seems I was very wrong."

Cheng Ruoyan turned to look at Shen Chengyin and bowed deeply.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

These words, seemingly sincere, actually forced Shen Chengyin to leave him with only one option: forgiveness.

In front of so many people, Cheng Ruoyan is one of the founders of the base, and she's a delicate woman. She's already apologized so much; if Shen Chengyin continues to make things difficult for him, he'll likely be vilified.

The crowd whispered among themselves, their eyes fixed on Shen Chengyin.

"Sigh, it was all a misunderstanding. Miss Cheng must be very sad to lose a loved one."

"Yes, the leader has sacrificed so much for our base..."

"We're all men, why make things difficult for a woman? Besides, Shen Chengyin hasn't suffered any injustice; she's been treated well at the research institute."

The sound grew louder and louder, and the gazes that fell on Shen Chengyin also carried a sharp, cutting edge.

They were all waiting for Shen Chengyin to forgive Cheng Ruoyan, standing on their moral high ground, looking down on her with self-righteous arrogance.

Before Shen Chengyin could even speak, Su Han rushed forward in front of everyone, grabbed Shen Chengyin, and patted his back several times.

"Good brother! I knew you weren't lying to me! You're not a thief, you're innocent! You're not the only one getting yelled at these days, I'm getting yelled at too!"

Su Han deliberately feigned grievance, shouting loudly and even letting out two sobs.

"They all curse me for befriending a thief, they call me a bad person, they call me an ungrateful dog! Do you know how I've been these past few days? Waaaaah! Everyone hates me!"

When Su Han started crying, everyone around her was stunned.

What Su Han said... was indeed the truth.

They've been cursing Su Han and Shen Chengyin a lot these past few days. Some of them don't say it openly, but they're practically gossiping about it behind their backs.

After all, everyone had witnessed how glamorous Shen Chengyin was when he first entered the base.

Not only is she an extremely rare life-sustaining ability user, but she is also a beginner-level ability user. Miss Cheng personally brought her back to the base and gave her the highest level of treatment.

They don't need to work themselves to death leaving the city to collect supplies and carry out missions; they can just drink tea in the hospital every day and be well-fed and clothed.

He's so handsome and has a great physique. None of them dared to say it out loud, but they were definitely jealous.

Now that Shen Chengyin has finally gotten into such a big mess, everyone wants to kick him while he's down.

The whispers around me grew quieter and quieter until they finally stopped.

Cheng Ruoyan had been bending over, and her lower back ached, but Shen Chengyin didn't let her raise her head. She was too embarrassed to stand up straight, so she could only grit her teeth and persevere.

Everyone was waiting for Shen Chengyin's answer, but the man's attention was now completely focused on Su Han's sobs just now.

She cried quite genuinely.

The man raised his hand and patted Su Han's back, playing along with her act, "Yes, it doesn't feel good to be wronged."

"I've been getting so much flak these past few days that I don't even want to go out. If I were to go out and do a mission, I could definitely get two thousand crystal cores, not to mention anything else."

Su Han snorted defiantly.

Two thousand crystal cores.

Everyone around gasped, and Li Tiangan, who had been watching Su Han's performance, couldn't help but twitch his lips twice.

Even if Su Han didn't eat or drink and spent 24 hours a day running missions, he still couldn't get two thousand crystal cores.

This isn't just asking for the moon, it's like trying to smear someone's wealth.

Cheng Ruoyan's back was about to break. Now that no one was on her side, she could only watch helplessly as Su Han and Shen Chengyin put on an act, her teeth clenched in anger.

Two thousand crystal cores would be a painful expense even for someone as extravagant as her.

But Shen Chengyin is still someone they need to win over; she needs to keep him on her side first.

"To express our apology, the base will give you two thousand crystal cores as compensation... We apologize for the time we have caused you."

Cheng Ruoyan hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, reluctantly spitting out two thousand crystal cores.

Su Han finally breathed a sigh of relief. The mission was accomplished, and she went to the side pretending to be heartbroken.

Shen Chengyin agreed to Cheng Ruoyan's suggestion, "Once we get the crystal cores, I will give five crystal cores to everyone who helped today as a thank you. Remember to come to the exchange to collect them then."

Five crystal cores per person, no more, no less, just the cost of one or two meals.

But in the apocalypse, who would complain about having too much money?

With a single sentence, Shen Chengyin tied the interests of the crystal cores to those of the more than fifty people present. At that point, Cheng Ruoyan wouldn't be able to renege on the debt even if she wanted to.

Humans only truly feel anxious when their interests are violated.

Sure enough, after saying this, Cheng Ruoyan's eyes seemed to be filled with daggers, and she had no words to express her suffering.

The surrounding superhumans, who were there to watch the spectacle, smiled broadly, their faces beaming with joy, genuinely happy for Shen Chengyin.

Li Tiangan took in everyone's reactions and made a deep impression on Shen Chengyin's cunning. He resolved that he would never provoke Su Han and Shen Chengyin again, even if it meant his own death.

These two people are crazy.

The misunderstanding was cleared up, and Shen Chengyin regained his freedom.

On the way back to the dormitory, Su Han suddenly thought of something, "I wonder if Cheng Ruoyan has noticed the gift I gave her."

"...A gift, what gift?" Shen Chengyin narrowed his eyes slightly.
