Who Can't Put on an Act!

By the time Su Chen found his way to the second floor, Yang Defa and Fan Hui were already arguing.

"Yang Defa, what's your problem?"

"Did you make this food? Who are you to tell us we can't eat it?"

Fan Hui stood in front of Yang Defa, acting overbearing.

Fan Hui knew Huang Wei was injured, and Su Chen was nowhere to be found.

Xiao Zixia was a woman, too.

More importantly, she had not come upstairs yet.

Fan Hui had stepped forward and started laying into Yang Defa.

After all, Yang Defa was younger than she was!

"I'm just an old woman making everyone something nice to eat in exchange for a few things."

The old woman stepped forward as well, letting out a sigh.

At that moment, the old woman was feeling a little panicked.

Something was off about this convoy.

First, they had beaten up her grandson and called out his name.

Now they refused to eat.

That shouldn't have happened, should it?

No one had seen anything.

Who could have known he had put sleeping pills in the food?

After hearing the old woman's words, Fan Hui raised her voice another notch.

"It wasn't easy for an elderly woman to make all this. She's just trying to do something nice."

"If it's not good enough for you, let us eat it!"

"This convoy belongs to everyone."

"Do you really think you get the final say on everything?"

Fan Hui immediately leveled accusations at Yang Defa.

She had disliked Yang Defa for a long time. She disliked anyone close to Su Chen.

"I told him to stop you. What of it?"

"Am I the leader or not?"

Su Chen's voice came from the stairs.

Fan Hui stiffened at once.

She slowly turned her head, caught between leaving and staying.

Her voice grew a little quieter as she said, "We're all hungry!"

"Who's this?"

Yang Defa, however, noticed a girl following behind Su Chen.

He did not recognize her.

That meant she was not part of the convoy.

"She's the one who drugged me and killed everyone else."

"They even rendered those people into fat!"

The moment Zhou Shufen saw the old woman, she hid behind Su Chen and began pointing her out.

"Ugh..."

Someone there understood what Zhou Shufen meant and immediately began dry-heaving.

Hearing that people had been rendered into fat, they instinctively assumed the food in front of them had all been made with corpse fat.

And they had almost eaten it.

The old woman's expression twisted the moment she saw Zhou Shufen.

"Bitch!"

"How did you get out, you bitch?"

"Was killing everyone in the village not enough for you?"

The old woman suddenly charged straight at Zhou Shufen.

Su Chen stood in front of Zhou Shufen.

Under these circumstances, she had no intention of respecting the elderly or caring for the young.

The old woman still stopped in front of Su Chen.

"I really didn't poison anything. You can test the food."

The old woman looked utterly sincere.

After speaking, she looked around and said, "You can check the kitchen for bodies."

"If you want to take this place over, I only ask one thing. Spare my grandson."

With that, the old woman dropped to her knees.

Her actions immediately left everyone on the second floor exchanging glances.

However.

Some of the more proactive people in the crowd had already started heading to the kitchen to check.

"It's normal meat."

"I saw pork."

"Ordinary soybean oil. It probably isn't corpse fat."

"Was that female influencer lying?"

Afterward.

As everyone inspected the kitchen, reports kept coming back.

The little boy hid behind a table, watching everyone with apparent timidity.

It was as though Su Chen and the others were the villains.

That left everyone feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Impossible!"

"I clearly saw the bodies being cut apart."

Zhou Shufen could not help backing away, trembling all over.

Listening to everyone, she was beginning to doubt her own eyes.

But clearly!

This old woman was an evil monster!

She was terrified that everyone would listen to the old woman and tie her up again.

"I'm an influencer! I'm a celebrity!"

"I'm really not lying!"

"You have to believe me. Please!"

Under the gazes of those around her, Zhou Shufen kept retreating until she fell onto her backside.

Naturally, Su Chen did not quite believe the old woman.

After all, that grandson belonged to the Ghoul Sequence.

He had indeed smelled human blood, too.

The only question was how to expose the old woman's act.

"Give the old woman some food to try!"

Su Chen proposed a method.

Now that the apocalypse had come, there were hardly any animals to test for poison.

Having the old woman test it, on the other hand, was the most suitable option.

Soon, someone brought over some food.

The old woman was very cooperative, too.

One mouthful at a time.

She ate all the food.

As she ate, she watched Su Chen.

Gravy from the food smeared her entire face.

No matter how one looked at her.

She looked utterly pitiful.

"Leave my grandma alone! Please!"

The child started screaming as well.

He even tried to charge straight at Su Chen, but Yang Defa restrained him.

Everyone waited for quite a while, but the old woman never passed out.

"The food probably isn't poisoned!"

Seeing this, Gao Yue could not help making an objective remark.

"Is there any soup?"

Su Chen, however, remembered there was soup.

Someone nearby immediately fetched some and handed it to the old woman.

The old woman quickly poured it into her mouth, then tilted her head back and looked at Su Chen.

She looked as tragically defiant as could be.

"Bring another bowl of soup!"

Su Chen continued giving orders.

He had already noticed that the old woman had not swallowed all the soup.

There was definitely something wrong with it.

"That's enough already!"

Gao Yue thought Su Chen was being cold-hearted. He was clearly bullying the old woman.

Yet the old woman suddenly lunged at Su Chen.

Su Chen barely hesitated.

He moved beside Gao Yue, using her as cover.

With no weapon in hand, he naturally dodged first.

Then he picked up a vase nearby and smashed it into the old woman.

The old woman was immediately knocked to the floor.

Gao Yue covered her face.

Su Chen had not pushed her toward the old woman, but the trajectory of the attack had still left her cheek scratched.

"You..."

Although Gao Yue had been saved, she found herself at a loss for words.

As she saw it, Su Chen had forced the old woman into doing something so extreme.

It was all Su Chen's fault!

"Tie up both the old woman and the little boy."

"Then search everywhere."

"If you want the food and soup, go ahead and try them!"

Su Chen issued his orders directly.

Call him heartless.

Call him cold-blooded!

He firmly trusted his own judgment.

At the end of the day.

Talking was easy. Taking action and bearing the consequences were the hardest parts.

Su Chen did not want to avoid getting screwed over by Weird Entities only to get fucking screwed over by an old woman.

Yang Defa resolutely carried out Su Chen's orders.

The others discussed it among themselves.

They were tempted by the food, but they also had some doubts.

As for looking for bodies and such.

Everyone just wandered around casually, clearly not taking it very seriously.

Su Chen continued searching the hotel.

He reached the third floor.

The third floor consisted of guest rooms, with nothing particularly unusual about them.

The Sequence ability he had copied had a time limit, and its time was already almost up.

But he firmly believed there had to be bodies inside the hotel.

After all, she was an old woman. She could not possibly have had time to move the bodies away.

"Aaaah!"

Suddenly, another startled scream rang out inside the hotel.
