Meng De knew that what Cheng Ying needed most right now was companionship and comfort.
So he said nothing, simply letting Cheng Ying vent her emotions.
An hour later, Cheng Ying gradually calmed down.
"Thank you for saving me!"
Cheng Ying's eyes were red from crying, tears still shimmering within them. Like stars fallen into a lake, they carried a slightly messy, broken beauty that made her utterly pitiful.
"You're welcome, Sister Cheng Ying."
"Oh, you know me?"
Confusion appeared on Cheng Ying's face. She had thought Meng De was part of some rescue team.
But now, that clearly did not seem to be the case.
"Yes. Compared to calling you Sister Cheng Ying, I prefer calling you Aunt Cheng!"
Cheng Ying froze.
"You've watched my streams?"
Because only her fans called her that.
"Yes, I followed you before."
"I live in this residential complex too."
Cheng Ying understood why the man before her had arrived in time to save her.
He must have seen the bedsheet she had hung out as a distress signal and come over.
Her guard against him eased somewhat.
At the very least, it showed that this man meant her no harm, didn't it?
Ding! Congratulations, Host. Goddess Cheng Ying's favorability toward you has increased by 5. Current favorability: 10!
Meng De glanced around the room. It was decorated festively, with a large red "Double Happiness" character pasted on the wall and red ornaments all around.
"This was supposed to be the wedding room for my husband and me, but he's dead now."
Meng De had heard a rough account of this before. He had already guessed what Cheng Ying was about to say.
Sure enough, she asked, "Can you do me a favor?"
What she had experienced over the past few days had made her realize that rescue was not coming anytime soon. If she wanted revenge, she could only rely on herself.
"The bastards who killed your husband?"
"Yes!"
The decisive way this man had acted earlier was still fresh in her mind.
Right now, the man before her was her only hope.
"I'm begging you, please help me. I have to make them pay for what they've done!"
With a slap, Cheng Ying dropped to her knees before Meng De.
"I really have no other choice..."
"Wuwuwu..."
Watching Cheng Ying kneel on the floor and cry her heart out, Meng De felt a flicker of pity.
Ding! An innate Unmarried Widow Saint Physique has been detected! Goddess: Cheng Ying Overall Rating: 97 Favorability: 10 (casual acquaintance; reach 60 to unlock the Goddess Compendium) Charging Count: 0 (untouched) System Introduction: 27 years old this year, possesses an innate Unmarried Widow Saint Physique! Her husband died in the apocalypse just after they received their marriage certificate. A famous Dou Shou streamer with over ten million followers across the internet, a sexy Goddess, alluring and captivating! Meets system requirements. Host, please unlock the Goddess-exclusive Compendium as soon as possible!
Meng De was not surprised by the system's rating.
After all, whether in looks or figure, Cheng Ying was no worse than the Sisters.
But when it came to temperament, she had it completely nailed down—sweet and lively, sexy yet seductive. Dressed in a professional black-silk uniform, she was absolutely a Goddess at the pinnacle of pure desire.
Even the system had scanned her. It seemed he had no choice but to help.
So he gently helped Cheng Ying up from the floor.
"Sister Cheng Ying, don't worry!"
"I'll definitely help you with this. I came here for them in the first place!"
For Meng De, it was merely a convenient thing to do.
After all, with such a force in this residential complex, they might pose a threat to the Sisters if he ever went out.
It was better to eliminate them early. Hearing Meng De's words, Cheng Ying's face filled with delight.
"Really?"
Meng De nodded with a smile. The next second, Cheng Ying threw herself excitedly into his arms.
"Thank you, Meng De! I... I'll definitely repay you!"
Ding! Congratulations, Host. Goddess Cheng Ying's favorability toward you has increased by 10. Current favorability: 20!
Meng De smiled.
Once he dealt with that so-called Kun Ge, her favorability would probably surge again! He had to admit, this woman's figure was truly incredible.
Paired with her status as an unmarried widow, it immediately brought certain educational scenes to Meng De's mind. If the timing had not been so inappropriate, he would have wanted to cherish her fiercely right away.
But he also knew clearly that now was absolutely not the time to completely claim her.
Because Cheng Ying's favorability toward him had not yet reached the requirement for unlocking the Goddess Compendium.
Even if he took her now, she would be unwilling, and he would not receive the system's reward.
As the saying went: being passive only let you drive once, while being proactive let you drive countless times. As for automatic... heh heh. Between driving once and driving countless times, he naturally knew which to choose! "Tell me about this Kun Ge. What's his situation?"
Kun Ge's underlings had all been killed by him, so now he could only have Cheng Ying explain.
Fortunately, Cheng Ying had learned some things before. She immediately told Meng De everything she knew. From her account, Meng De quickly learned about the situation upstairs! There were more than a dozen survivors upstairs, and all of them had weapons.
Their leader, Kun Ge, had previously been the head of security for the residential complex. He had a handgun.
These posed little threat to him, but another detail Cheng Ying mentioned caught his attention.
"Someone who can breathe fire?"
Cheng Ying nodded.
"Yes. I saw that person conjure flames out of thin air and burn zombies to death."
Hearing Cheng Ying say that, and recalling the burn marks he had found on the way here, Meng De already had a guess! It seemed there was a Fire Ability user here! Ever since Meng De awakened his own ability, he had been prepared to face other ability users at any time.
But with the absolute defense of the Space Black Hole, he was not afraid! Instead, he was looking forward to it.
"Come on. I'll take you to get your revenge!"
Meng De took Cheng Ying's hand of his own accord.
A Goddess's hand was so soft. Heh heh. Kun Ge and his group were on the top floor of Building Six, the nineteenth floor.
The zombies on the floors in between had long been driven downstairs by Kun Ge's group.
That was why Meng De had been surrounded by zombies when he entered.
Perhaps they had grown comfortable for too long. These people had not even stationed anyone on guard.
Compared to Dao Ge's tightly guarded Building One, they were far inferior.
Meng De and Cheng Ying entered the nineteenth floor without any trouble.
The moment they entered the nineteenth floor, they saw men and women engaged in intimate acts everywhere.
The sounds of men and women panting filled both floors.
They even witnessed several live performances.
The kind involving multiple people in a chaotic free-for-all.
Cheng Ying, who was still untouched for the time being, could not help blushing furiously.
Although she and her husband had received their marriage certificate, they had not had the chance to do that before her husband died.
It was quite a shock to her.
But Meng De had to admit that these people were living more freely than they had before the apocalypse.
Even when Meng De and Cheng Ying entered, they showed no reaction at all. Their wild activities continued.
For such disrespectful behavior, Meng De gave a mischievous smile, silently removed his silencer, and then—Bang!
As the deafening gunshot rang out, it felt as though the entire world had fallen silent.
