Counterattack

Facing the blades and clubs swung by so many of Tiger Ge's men!

Meng De remained completely calm!

The stairwell was only so wide, enough for at most two people.

At most, he had to face the attacks of two people at once—and he had the high ground.

Besides, his physical abilities had long since reached the limits of the human body, on the level of an ability user! Ordinary people like these were no match for him.

And most importantly, he had the greatest cheat of all: Starry Night Walker! At night, he gained enhanced abilities!

Tiger Ge's men needed flashlights just to see his silhouette, but in Meng De's eyes, every movement they made was as clear as day!

So killing them took no effort at all.

One slash, one head!

One slash, one lackey!

Meng De slaughtered them with glee while the lackeys screamed!

For a time, amid flashing blades and swinging clubs, row after row of Tiger Ge's lackeys fell.

Whether they were vicious desperados or retired soldiers who had worked as neighborhood security guards before—

None could escape his blade!

The only one with any ability to resist was Tiger Ge.

Before leaving the army, he had supposedly been the ace soldier of some unit.

His skills were formidable!

Dao Ge had been able to commit evil around here for so many years without consequence, and Tiger Ge deserved at least half the credit!

But before Meng De, he still had no power to resist. With a single strike, the terrifying force knocked the blade from his hand.

"Damn it!"

"This kid is insanely strong! Even a soldier king like me can't handle him."

"No! He's too tough! We need to retreat!"

As the lackeys around him died one after another, he felt nothing.

Dead was dead. As long as he was fine, that was all that mattered! It was the apocalypse now—everything was scarce except people! Was he afraid he wouldn't be able to find more lackeys?

So he ignored the men still charging forward. They could buy him time while he scrambled and rolled his way downstairs.

From above, Meng De noticed this and sneered. "Heh. You came to ambush me in the middle of the night, and now that you failed, you want to run?"

With one slash, he finished off the last lackey. The tenth-floor stairwell was already littered with the corpses of Tiger Ge's men.

Seeing Tiger Ge had already fled to the eighth floor, Meng De took several great strides and leaped straight down, landing right in front of him.

Tiger Ge jumped in fright at Meng De's sudden appearance.

He instinctively backed away, muttering without pause.

"Y-you can't kill me. If you kill me, my brother won't let you off."

"My brother has a gun."

He had hoped to intimidate Meng De by invoking his big brother's name, but Meng De merely replied lightly, "Oh, I know."

Meng De understood that villains died from talking too much.

Without further nonsense, Meng De sent Tiger Ge to meet the King of Hell with one slash! But it wasn't over yet. "There's one more!"

On the second floor, Liu Junjie was crawling along like a dog from exhaustion, but he did not dare stop for even a moment.

The instant he had seen Meng De slaughtering everyone, he had realized things were going badly and hurriedly slipped away.

"Damn it! Meng De must have taken some kind of super drug!"

"He's become so powerful! So many people couldn't beat him!"

"No, I need to report this to Dao Ge right away!"

Just as he reached the entrance of Building Five, he saw a figure standing there, seemingly waiting for him for a long time.

Blood dripped slowly from the Tang Sword. With a smack, Liu Junjie dropped straight to his knees.

"Meng De, I..."

Liu Junjie still wanted to beg for mercy, but Meng De gave him no chance to speak again.

He had chased after him to eliminate all future trouble! He did not want someone sneaking into his home while he was having fun in the middle of the night.

One slash, and Liu Junjie was dead.

At this point!

All twenty-some people who had come tonight had died at Meng De's hands!

Inside Room 1501 of Building Five.

Chen Jiayao sat uneasily on the sofa, with a Fruit Knife lying on the table.

At this moment, she still did not know the outcome.

She had not chosen to wake her sister, because Meng De had asked her to trust him.

Besides, waking her sister would have been useless.

It would only mean one more person worrying.

Since that was the case, it was better not to let her know.

Just as she anxiously paced back and forth, she saw a figure appear by the window.

Her eyes immediately lit up.

That was right—the person was Meng De.

After climbing down from the window before, climbing back up was now second nature to him.

With a soft cry, Yao Yao excitedly threw herself at Meng De.

Luckily, Meng De had braced himself. Otherwise, this girl would have knocked him over.

Seeing Meng De return safely once again, she was overwhelmed with excitement.

She practically hung her entire body from him.

Like a little koala.

She looked especially petite in Meng De's broad embrace.

Perhaps because she had been nervous for so long, the instant she saw Meng De, tears streamed down her face.

As if she wanted to vent all the worry and grievance she had felt just now.

During the time Meng De had been gone, she had imagined many terrible possibilities.

She had even prepared herself to die.

But thankfully, Meng De had returned safely.

Meng De gently patted the girl's slender back.

He stroked her hair and softly comforted her.

He knew she had never experienced anything like this before. She must have been terrified.

He sat down on the sofa, holding her and letting her vent her emotions.

After quite a while, the girl slowly recovered, and her emotions gradually settled.

Seeing this sweet campus belle crying before him, Meng De could not help pinching her little upturned nose.

"You're already such a grown girl. Why are you always crying?"

Seeing the Fruit Knife on the table, he already had some idea what had happened.

He also deliberately wanted to tease the little girl in front of him and distract her.

Otherwise, she would not sleep well tonight.

"Hmph! I'll cry if I want to!"

"You're not allowed to laugh at me!"

"Or Yao Yao won't talk to you anymore!"

The girl even puffed out her cheeks proudly. Before the apocalypse, who would have imagined that a university campus belle could be like this?

Her adorable appearance, coupled with words that had no real threat behind them, immediately made Meng De laugh.

"Hmph, you're still laughing at me!"

As if seeking "revenge," she started fussing around against him.

Yet she failed to notice that her shoulder strap had slipped down from all the movement. "Yao Yao, I..."

Meng De did not need to say anything more. Yao Yao's little face turned burning hot. Having experienced it once before, she immediately understood what Meng De meant. But unlike last time, she had no intention of stopping him. She merely narrowed her eyes slightly. Could this really happen?

Meng De flipped over, and then
