When Cheng Yibin and his team arrived at the research institute, it was in complete disarray.

The vast research institute was a scene of bloodshed and devastation, the ground soaked in a sticky, dark red liquid, and corpses lying everywhere.

Without exception, they were all killed with a single blow to the throat, and some even had their heads chopped off.

The air was filled with a strong smell of rust.

Not a single person was left alive, nor was any evidence left behind.

Cheng Yibin's clenched fists turned white at the knuckles. "What are you all standing there for!" He whirled around and roared at the superhumans following behind him, his voice distorted by suppressed rage. "Go find them! See if they're still breathing! Call a doctor—quick!"

The crowd dispersed and rushed into the various rooms to deal with the horrific scene.

Cheng Yibin paced back and forth in the hall, his hands trembling uncontrollably behind his back.

These researchers were the culmination of his years of hard work and the foundation for the future of the revival base. Their deaths were tantamount to breaking one of Cheng Yibin's legs.

Even the research and development of superpowers has to be postponed.

Once he catches this guy, he'll skin him alive.

I wonder if Ruoyan has managed to control Shen Chengyin.

Cheng Yibin was completely unaware that two familiar figures had infiltrated his team of superhumans.

Shen Chengyin had changed into clean clothes. As he walked, the wounds on his body healed quickly, and his deformed right hand returned to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Su Han, who was following behind him, deliberately bypassed Cheng Yibin and greeted each of the superhumans when Cheng Yibin could not see her.

These superhumans, unaware that Su Han was responsible for tonight's tragic situation, were still responding politely.

The two of them easily sneaked into the research institute.

Su Han moved through the rooms, keeping an eye on the medicines in each one.

He couldn't understand the labels on the potions, so he took them out and showed them to the system. Anything the system said was useful, he put into his backpack.

As Su Han casually picked up a glass tube, the system suddenly spoke.

[This hallucinogen is the same drug Cheng Yibin used to torture the male protagonist in the original story.]

He immediately put the medicine into his backpack and found Shen Chengyin.

The two brushed past each other, and under the cover of his coat, Shen Chengyin stuffed his backpack into his spatial storage.

The superhumans were busy dealing with the corpses at the scene, and no one noticed what was missing from the tables and cabinets.

Halfway through the cleanup, someone rushed over and trembled as soon as they saw Cheng Yibin.

"Master! Miss...she's been murdered! Miss Cheng, Miss Zhao, and their bodyguards...all...all of them..."

Cheng Yibin was struck dumb, swaying violently before being caught by his quick-thinking subordinate.

"No...it can't be...my Ruoyan..." he murmured, his eyes instantly bloodshot. He grabbed the collar of the messenger and roared hoarsely, "Say that again?!"

"They're all...they're all dead..."

Cheng Yibin shoved him away, staggered a few steps, and almost couldn't stand up.

He stammered as his subordinates found the few remaining researchers at the revival base and whispered a few words in their ears.

The researcher's face showed horror. "Chief, this...this isn't right...the process of turning into a zombie is irreversible!"

Cheng Yibin grabbed the researcher by the collar, "I want her to live—I want her to live, don't you understand?!"

The researcher was terrified by the frightening light in his eyes, nodded repeatedly, and ran away as fast as he could.

Cheng Yibin's face twisted as he turned to look at the scattered superhumans standing in the hall.

"It was Shen Chengyin who did it...it must have been Shen Chengyin! He killed my daughter!!"

The survivors next to each other exchanged glances, both seeing absurdity in each other's eyes.

Someone muttered quietly, "Wasn't Shen Chengyin just helping out here a moment ago...?"

Has the leader gone mad? Shen Chengyin was just here with them dealing with the body. How could he be the murderer?

If you ask them, tonight's incident was the work of a malicious superhuman, perhaps someone who sneaked in from outside the base.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened at the base; many people died last time it was invaded by intermediate-level zombies.

"Chief, Shen Chengyin was with us dealing with the body tonight, it couldn't be him. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Cheng Yibin turned his head and met Li Tiangan's gaze.

Li Tiangan smiled and looked up without fear.

Li Tiangan is one of the top-tier junior lightning-type ability users in the base, and seems to be a friend of Shen Chengyin.

Cheng Yibin was almost blinded by rage and nearly attacked Li Tiangan. But with so many superhumans present, he couldn't lose face.

"My daughter only saw Shen Chengyin tonight. If it wasn't him, then who else could it be!"

No one dared to refute, except for a cold voice that rang out from behind the crowd.

"I didn't see Cheng Ruoyan tonight. Leader, without any evidence, this frame-up is far too ugly."

The crowd parted, and Shen Chengyin walked out slowly, his expression indifferent, as if he were merely stating a fact that had nothing to do with him.

"That's right, even slander needs evidence. Shen Chengyin has been with me all night, how could he have had time to kill so many people?" Su Han echoed.

In the apocalypse, there are no surveillance cameras, and the only evidence is eyewitness testimony. But Cheng Ruoyan deliberately chose a deserted place to kidnap Shen Chengyin, where there were no witnesses and no physical evidence.

Cheng Yibin's accusations are baseless; convicting him would be framing him.

Li Tiangan stared wide-eyed, his gaze questioning Su Han behind Shen Chengyin: Didn't we tell you to leave?!

Su Han smiled sheepishly, "Well, I just couldn't stop them."

Li Tiangan was so angry that his liver hurt.

He didn't stop him at all; it seemed this brat had no intention of stopping him!

Cheng Yibin was surprised that Shen Chengyin still had the courage to confront him, and a dull pain shot through his chest.

But he really has no way to deal with these two people right now.

He stared intently at Shen Chengyin, his gums clenched so hard they bled, every word dripping with venom and suppressed rage:

"Fine...very good. Shen Chengyin, we'll see."

Since Shen Chengyin wants to die, then he will grant his wish.

The first group of people who went to investigate the military factory never returned; none of the dozen or so combat-type ability users came back.

Sending Shen Chengyin to his death is the most appropriate thing to do.
