The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 255: Chapter 253: Slapping the Apocalypse Rebirth Girl 34

Su Leqing was terrified to leave her home at the onset of the apocalypse in her past life.

She didn’t understand where superpowers came from or when they first appeared.

In her past life, human superpowers emerged later than zombies.

Some of the humans who fell into comas didn’t become zombies; instead, they developed superpowers.

And there were also some who developed superpowers only after falling into a coma post the emergence of zombies.

Yu Ping belonged to the latter group.

He fell into a coma about ten days into the apocalypse and upon waking, discovered he had become a Superpower User.

But now, with Anning’s medicine made, all comatose humans had been administered the drug, eradicating the virus within them. The likelihood of the appearance of either zombies or Superpower Users was almost none.

But Su Leqing was unaware of this.

She was baffled—how could the Zombie Virus be cured? Where did all the Superpower Users go?

The family members of those killed by Su Leqing were making a scene outside, some so emotionally charged that they were about to burst in.

Yu Ping tried to stop them but couldn’t, so he discussed with Su Peng about letting Su Leqing come out to explain.

Su Peng then came to talk to Su Leqing about it.

Su Leqing dared not go out.

She stubbornly stayed in bed and wouldn’t move: ”I won’t go, Dad, go and explain for me, I’m not going. If I go out, they’ll tear me to pieces.”

Mother Yu was loitering outside and, upon hearing Su Leqing’s words, she charged into the room.

”Tear you to pieces? I myself want to tear you apart. My poor daughters, they could have been fine; it’s all because of you, you wretch, killing them. You owe me my daughters’ lives, you owe me my daughters’ lives...”

Mother Yu, strong as she was, broke through Su Peng’s attempt to stop her, charged to the bed, pulled Su Leqing up, and slapped her several times across the face, causing Su Leqing’s face to swell up immediately.

Su Leqing got angry, too, and slapped Mother Yu back: ”I killed zombies, who would’ve thought the government could develop such a drug? My intentions weren’t wrong back then. If I hadn’t killed them, they would’ve spread the Zombie Virus. When I killed them, didn’t you all agree too? And now you come blaming me for this.”

Mother Yu was struck by Su Leqing and sat on the ground, wailing non-stop.

While the commotion was in full swing, Yu Ping came running in: ”Lele, the police are outside looking for you.”

Su Leqing’s face immediately turned pale.

Mother Yu said with a sense of triumph, ”See, the police have come. They’re definitely here to arrest you.”

Su Leqing thought about running away, but she knew she had nowhere to go.

If she ran out, the crowd outside might tear her to shreds. Better to go with the police than face that.

Su Leqing descended from upstairs only to see two police officers standing in the living room.

They sized up Su Leqing: ”Are you Su Leqing?”

Su Leqing meekly responded, ”Yes.”

”Come with us, please.”

Once Su Leqing was on the police car and they had driven a distance, she noticed something was off.

The car wasn’t heading towards the police station, but to the outskirts of the city.

Su Leqing immediately started shouting: ”I want to get off. You are not police. Who are you people? Let me go, let me go now, or I’ll call the police.”

One of the officers pulled out a badge: ”We are confirmed as police officers. Now sit down and behave yourself, or you’ll be adding to your charges.”

Su Leqing dared not scream anymore, but her eyes were still full of vigilance and fear.

The police car stopped in front of a building on the outskirts.

After parking, the two police officers yanked Su Leqing from the car and led her inside.

In the lobby of the building, there were two people in white lab coats waiting.

Seeing Su Leqing, they smiled at the two police officers: ”Thanks for your help bringing her here.”

The police officers shook hands with the ones in lab coats: ”Alright, we’ve delivered her. We’ll be heading back now.”

At this time, Su Leqing seemed to understand something, and the color had drained from her lips in fear.

She wanted to run away, but she knew she couldn’t.

Her legs were so weak she could hardly stand, let alone run.

”What do you want to do?”

The scientists in white lab coats weren’t interested in wasting words with Su Leqing. They simply hoisted her up and dragged her into the laboratory.

Once she was brought to the laboratory, Su Leqing was locked in a small room, which had no TV, no cell phone, no computer, and not even a single book. Su Leqing nearly went mad after being confined there for a whole day.

When she was in a state of extreme mental instability, she was taken out and hypnotized.

Several scientists in white lab coats surrounded her, quietly asking her questions.

”Do you have a space?”

Su Leqing’s face broke into a smile: ”Yes, I have a space, I have a space, I am very powerful. My space is huge, filled with supplies. The apocalypse is coming, but I’m not afraid. I have food, I have clothes; I am not scared at all.”

”What is the carrier of your space?”

”It’s a bracelet. I stole it from Tang Anning. Tang Anning is really a fool, having such a great Space Bracelet but not keeping it for herself. Instead, she wanted to play the Holy Mother, to donate it to the nation, saying it was to save all of humanity. What a fool. Anyway, she was going to give it away, so I might as well take it first.”

”How did you know that the apocalypse was coming?”

”I am reborn, how could I not know, in my previous life...”

After being hypnotized, Su Leqing answered whatever she was asked, and it didn’t take long for her true colors to be revealed.

After all the questions were asked, the researchers gathered for a meeting.

Su Leqing’s memories were of little help to the nation.

Her memories were all about the apocalypse, but now with the zombie virus cured, what apocalypse is there?

The only thing of value was the Space Bracelet she mentioned.

However, this space was bound to her, and it would be of no use to anyone else.

What the researchers needed to do now was to study how to break the binding and then find a way to extract the space from Su Leqing.

Of course, some people were specifically looking for Anning.

They wanted to hear Anning’s opinion.

Moreover, the higher-ups had spoken: the Space Bracelet was Anning’s family heirloom, and since Anning seemed to be aware of it, they needed to give her an explanation. If Anning wanted to retrieve the bracelet, then it should be returned to her.

If Anning agreed to give it to the nation, the nation couldn’t just take it for free; some form of compensation for Anning would be necessary.

Anning also went to the research institute and saw Su Leqing, who seemed to have already had a mental breakdown. Anning said she didn’t need the bracelet, but the bracelet and the supplies inside the space couldn’t be allowed to benefit Su Leqing at all.

The leader promised Anning that neither the bracelet nor the items in the space would be left with Su Leqing.

Anning stayed in the research institute for a few days, mainly to tell the story of the bracelet’s origins and some legends left by her ancestors.

The researchers experimented for several days but were unable to separate the Space Bracelet.

Some suggested that if Su Leqing died, the bracelet might detach automatically.

Several researchers wanted to try, but they couldn’t just kill a living person.

Anning, however, came up with an idea.

She suggested to the researchers whether they could inject the Zombie Virus into Su Leqing. A zombified Su Leqing would no longer be considered human; the bracelet should then detach, and after it did, medication could be administered to turn her back into a human.

This idea received unanimous approval from all the researchers.

And so, Su Leqing was tied up in the laboratory, watching wide-eyed as those scientists in white lab coats injected her with the Zombie Virus.

She screamed in terror, but no one paid any attention to her.

Anning was also present, watching on the side. As Su Leqing was being injected with the virus, she heard Anning whisper in her ear: ”Did you really think my belongings would be so easy to take? To steal from me, one must pay the price.”

Su Leqing glared at Anning venomously.

”You will not die a good death, you will not have a good ending, you...”

She couldn’t even finish her words before Anning knocked her out with a slap.
