Chapter 109 - 88 The Murderer (Please support with a monthly ticket) 3



Especially Song Jinghong, he was unlike the others, revered both before and after the apocalypse. It was impossible for him to have offended anyone.

His recent outing was solely to save survivors! He could have stayed back, but he chose to go anyway.

To think that such a man was murdered, even dismembered and hung on a utility pole… This is the work of a beast!

“Whether for Old Song himself or for us at the Suize Survivor Base, this is unforgivable!”

Ren Jie rapped on the table, his tone chilling.

Song Jinghong was a commissioner of the Shuize Base, representing not just himself but the entire base. Such an act was a provocation—no, it was a declaration of war against the Shuize Base!

We must avenge Song Jinghong; blood for blood!

“When do we act? I certainly won’t be absent!”

Wang Tao clenched his fists.

Now that he was a commissioner of the Shuize Base, it was natural for him to take action. Although he had no personal connection with Song Jinghong, even never having met him, he couldn’t tolerate such acts. If he didn’t show some resolve now, people might think the Shuize Base was afraid!

However, after Wang Tao said this, he discovered a hint of embarrassment on everyone’s faces.

Lu Gang shook his head.

“But we don’t know who killed Old Song, and we haven’t found any survivor camps nearby…”

Indeed, it was the apocalypse now. Zombies were everywhere, and survivors were scarce, let alone murderers. Unless someone witnessed the act, it would be tough to find them.

This is likely to become an unsolved case.

Everyone was frustrated, knowing full well that Song Jinghong was murdered, yet they couldn’t even find the culprit.

“Where did you find Commissioner Song’s body?”

Wang Tao asked, frowning.

“Right at the intersection of Evergreen Road and Xingguo Road…”

Lu Gang pointed at a spot on the map placed on the table.

“Here?”

Wang Tao suddenly paused, then as if remembering something, asked urgently, “What was Commissioner Song’s badge number?”

Everyone seemed confused; no one had made a point to remember it.

But Han Rui and Feng Ming’an spoke up simultaneously:

“8…”

Upon hearing the number, Wang Tao fished into his pocket, pulled out a metal number tag, and laid it on the table.

Everyone’s breath hitched.

Because the number on the metal tag matched the number Han Rui and Feng Ming’an had said!

“Is this Old Song’s badge?!” Wei Zhenguo looked urgently at Wang Tao, “How did it end up with you? Where did you find this…”

Everyone’s gaze shifted nervously toward Wang Tao.

It wasn’t that they suspected Wang Tao of being the murderer; after all, the timing and his motive didn’t align. What they wanted to know was whether the badge had been found somewhere. If so, that could provide a lead to the murderer!

“So it seems… it must be them!” Wang Tao tapped on the table, then explained to everyone, “In an old mall…”

He roughly recounted his visit to the mall, omitting the gory details of his zombie-killing but covering everything else that happened there.

That included his chance sighting of the badge number, his suspicion that the other party had a gun, and that the mall was ravaged by a special zombie.

After hearing this, Xiang Hongbin slammed his hand on the table.

“It has to be them! Old Song’sbadge was with them, and from what you said, they also seemed to be hiding something… They’re clearly guilty!”

The others were also filled with anger.

This was a group Wang Tao had encountered a few days ago, and the old mall was near Evergreen Road, and that group surely wasn’t up to any good.

They now had the time, the location, and even a motive—they might have coveted Song Jinghong’s gun or his supplies— which was enough to make them prime suspects!

“Damn it, I’m going to take them out right now!”

Xiang Hongbin was impulsive. He rose to leave but was stopped by Wei Zhenguo.

“Wait! Didn’t Wang Tao just mention that there was a huge zombie, three or four meters tall, that nearly destroyed the building? What if you startle the zombies there, do you think you can handle them?”

Xiang Hongbin hesitated, having momentarily forgotten about that.

If he indeed encountered this unknown zombie, he wasn’t confident in his ability to defeat it.

“We must plan carefully. After all, they likely have guns, and there’s a terrifying zombie lurking there… We have already lost two main fighters in just a few days; we can’t afford any more injuries!”

This made Xiang Hongbin’s expression darken even more since one of those losses had a direct connection to him. He wanted to vent his anger!

“Alright, you all can leave now. We need to discuss this among ourselves.”

Ren Jie waved his hand.

“Yes!”

The others promptly stood up and left.

They had summoned so many people in hopes of gleaning any clues. Now that they had one, it was time to formulate a plan of action, and the commissioners alone were enough for that.

After rising, Han Rui did not leave immediately but approached Wang Tao, her expression a mix of anger and pleading:

“Wang Tao, Commissioner Wang, please let me join the mission. I want to avenge Old Song with my own hands! Please!”

“I’ll consider it.”

Wang Tao nodded, neither agreeing nor outright refusing.

“Thank you!”

Han Rui brought her hands together in gratitude toward Wang Tao.

Once everyone left, only the seven commissioners remained in the meeting room.

Lu Gang spoke without hesitation:

” I can lead this mission. As long as we know their exact location, I can snipe them directly!”

“Noway!” Wei Zhenguo shook his head firmly, “It’s too risky! You were just saying this morning how dangerous it is to fire a gun outside, as it could attract Mad Demon Zombies… Besides, they may not be near the windows, and you may not have a shot for a clean kill.”

“But…” Lu Gang’s face contorted with discontent.

Wei Zhenguo turned to Wang Tao to explain:

“Lu Gang reported this morning that sniping special zombies has become much more difficult. Wherever he shoots, Mad Demon Zombies appear, so the idea of sniping the murderer… it doesn’t seem suitable…”

“Snipe them? That would be letting them off easy! If you ask me, I should lead the assault, storm in directly!”

Wang Tao sneered coldly.

“What?”

The others were somewhat shocked. The adversaries had the high ground and were armed. Wasn’t Wang Tao being too reckless? Life isn’t a game; you only have one!

“Although… my strength still lacks somewhat.” Wang Tao shook his head regretfully, “If only I had some more Zombie Cores to enhance my strength… that would be more reassuring!”
