Lu Fei and her team returned with a full load of loot, while the people at the Blazing Fire Base suffered a miserable fate.

Not only do they have to be wary of zombies, but they also have to get back to base without any supplies.

After walking for a day and a night, we finally saw the gate of the base.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and shouted loudly under the city gate, attracting many patrolmen.

"Hey, didn't you guys go to Hongjian base to get supplies? Why did you come back empty-handed?"

The people on the city wall opened the gate and chatted with them.

"Don't even mention it, this is going to be incredibly unlucky."

We ran into Lu Fei on the way. She attacked us like a madwoman, not only stealing all our things but also tricking us and attracting a lot of zombies..."

The crowd was jumping up and down cursing, but once they entered the city, they found that everyone else's eyes were filled with pity and understanding.

Once they came in, the guys at the base kindly gave them a little科普 (popular science) explanation.

From Lu Jiamu and his group hanging Lu Fei on the city wall, to Lu Fei awakening her purification-type superpower, to discovering that Feng Tianhe and Lu Xue were withholding food from her and her daughter, and even vividly recounting the story of framing her for miscarriage.

"And so, Lu Fei took away all the supplies that the old man and his mistress had secretly hoarded, and even set the villa on fire. Hahaha, that was quite a scene."

"Ahem, I'm only telling you this because we're brothers. Stay away from the Lu family from now on. Lu Fei is incredibly capable now. If we run into them, she'll kill them like it's nothing."

The people around them were talking animatedly in front of Lu Zhen and Lu Junhao, completely disregarding their expressions.

"You're talking nonsense...it's all a lie!"

Lu Junhao didn't want to believe them. For so many years, he had so recklessly vented his anger over the disintegration of his family on Lu Fei and his mother, but now everyone was telling him that he was wrong.

The intense guilt and pain made him subconsciously unwilling to believe the truth, so he simply denied it outright.

His hypocritical demeanor drew sarcastic laughter from everyone.

"Believe it or not, your family is the only one that treats mistresses and bastards like treasures. You're really something. Tsk tsk, Lu Fei is still too soft-hearted. If I were her, I would have the big boss kill them all."

Over the years, the Lu brothers have relied on their superpowers to act arrogantly and domineeringly in the base, which has long aroused dissatisfaction among the people. They relentlessly harass them whenever they see them getting the short end of the stick.

"Hmph, a bunch of petty people who have gotten their way. What does my family matter have to do with you? If you keep spouting nonsense, don't blame us for being impolite."

Lu Zhen finally couldn't stand the stares of everyone anymore. He made a harsh statement and dragged Lu Junhao home. He wanted to find out what was going on.

"Yeah, hurry back. Look at your beautiful mistress now, what a mess she's become, hahaha, be careful she doesn't wet her pants."

The laughter from the crowd grew louder and louder, which annoyed Lu Zhen, so he quickened his pace.

After walking for a while, we finally arrived at our doorstep and saw that the original location of the villa had been reduced to ruins. Just as everyone had said, it had been burned down.

"It's too much, it's too much!"

Lu Zhen was so angry that he jumped up and down. His roar attracted people in a nearby tent. The three Lu brothers came out and their eyes reddened when they saw their father and eldest brother return.

"Big brother, you're finally back."

The three were devastated and listless, their beards unkempt. Coupled with the shameful incident, they were often ridiculed by the people at the base. Now that they had a leader, they clung to Lu Junhao's arm like children.

"Don't hide what really happened."

Lu Junhao thought that the people at the base were jealous of the Lu family and that's why they deliberately spoke so maliciously.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jiamu bit his lip, and his eyes immediately reddened. He recounted what had happened in a muffled voice, and when he mentioned the basement full of supplies, he was so angry that his teeth itched.

"Mom was so thin she was skin and bones, and Feng Tianhe actually used their food rations to exchange for cosmetics and clothes."

Moreover, all the things we lost back then were stolen by Feng Tianhe and Lu Xue. They framed Mom and my younger sister, and we were foolish enough to believe them..."

After Lu Jiamu finished speaking, he slapped himself twice hard, making his already swollen face look even more like a pig's head.

Hearing his younger brother's words, Lu Junhao's last bit of hope vanished. No wonder, no wonder his little sister was so heartless.

He couldn't even imagine what kind of life his mother and she had been living these past few years!

"Hmph, no matter what, that little beast shouldn't have gone so far. He's completely disgraced the Lu family."

Lu Zhen didn't think he was wrong at all; he believed that Lu Fei's actions were outrageous and deserving of divine retribution.

Just then, a faint voice came from nearby, and Lu Xue timidly emerged from the tattered tent beside her.

She was no longer the charming and cute girl she used to be. Her eyes were red and swollen, her hair was messy, and she was still wearing the clothes she wore on the day of the fire. She looked like a beggar.

"Dad, Big Brother, you're back! Waaah, I was so scared!"

Lu Xue tried to grab Lu Junhao's arm, but he dodged her. She paused, then ran to Lu Zhen, crying with tears streaming down her face.

"Dad, I really, really don't know anything about my eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fifth brother... sob sob sob."

I admit that I lied to my mom before, which caused Feifei and Auntie to leave. But, but that's because we love you so much. I also envy the days when you have brothers who love you. Waaah.

But since then, I really haven't done anything to wrong you... Please don't dislike me.

Lu Xue knelt down on the ground and kowtowed frantically to them.

The other four people remained silent, revealing nothing, but Lu Zhen's expression softened considerably.

Lu Fei, that rebellious daughter, almost killed him. This daughter is considerate and gentle, relying on him wholeheartedly, which makes him seem stronger.

He patted Lu Xue on the shoulder in a mock manner and asked where Feng Tianhe was.

Lu Xue's face stiffened, and she stammered, not daring to speak. In the end, Lu Zhen was about to get angry, so he pointed to the tent next to him.

The more she acted this way, the more curious Lu Zhen became. Usually when he came back, Feng Tianhe would practically stick to him. Why wasn't she here this time? Could she really be seriously injured?

Lu Zhen quickly walked a few steps and lifted the tent flap. What came into view was a person burned black and deformed. Feng Tianhe could no longer speak and could only make some meaningless sounds.

It looked like a demon from hell, which scared Lu Zhen so much that he took several steps back.

"Get this monster out of here immediately! Our Lu family will never allow her to enter our home."

Seeing Lu Zhen's cold-blooded and ruthless demeanor, Lu Xue still wanted to try to win him over, but upon hearing his warning, her heart sank.

“I don’t like disobedient children. If you’re going to disobey me too, then get out of the Blazing Fire Base with your mother. I don’t believe you can awaken superpowers like Lu Fei.”

Lu Xue's face turned pale. She knew this was an ultimatum: if she didn't abandon her mother, she would be abandoned too.

Ignoring Lu Xue's feelings, Lu Zhen turned around and went to the base chief to apply for new housing.

Regardless, all six men in the Lu family are capable fighters, and even if they are not popular, no one would dare to offend them too much.

After Lu Zhen left, the four Lu brothers also left, and they still had to get advances for supplies to survive.

They blamed everything on Lu Xue and Feng Tianhe, because if it weren't for them, the Lu family wouldn't have ended up like this.

In the end, only Lu Xue remained standing outside the tent, her eyes filled with complex emotions and hatred.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally crept into the tent, looked at the barely surviving Feng Tianhe, and slowly reached out her hand.

"Mom, you once told me that if you want to get ahead, you have to use any means necessary."

"You are beyond cure now, and the Lu family has given up on you. Living now is nothing but suffering. Why don't you grant your daughter's wish?"

As Lu Xue spoke, she gripped Feng Tianhe's neck tightly with her hand.

"Cough cough..."

Feng Tianhe stared wide-eyed at her daughter, whom she had raised with such care, who was now trying to strangle her. She struggled and scratched the back of her daughter's hand until it was raw.

But this did not soften Lu Xue's heart. In the end, when Feng Tianhe completely stopped breathing, she finally let go, panting heavily.

"Mom, don't worry, I will kill Lu Fei to avenge you. Please bless me."
