Seeing Zhang Ziliang's name on the phone screen, Wang Ye frowned.

That old fox had quite the intelligence network.

With that thought, Wang Ye answered the call.

"Is it resolved?"

Zhang Ziliang's calm voice sounded through the phone, carrying the composure of a man unfazed even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.

"Yeah. Only two made it out alive."

Wang Ye spoke somewhat wearily. This Supernatural Incident had not been especially draining mentally, but it had taken a toll physically.

If he had not just undergone the ordeal at the Post Office, then with his previous physical condition, resolving it would have been somewhat difficult.

"What?" Zhang Ziliang's air of calmness instantly vanished, his voice filled with pain.

"This was the nest egg I'd saved up for over a year," Zhang Ziliang said through clenched teeth.

So you weren't that composed after all.

Wang Ye found it somewhat amusing, but recalling Wang Qiang and Liu Qian's performances earlier, he said, "The survivors are Wang Qiang and Liu Qian."

"Wang Qiang is smart enough, and he's cautious too. He'd make a decent meat shield."

"As for Liu Qian..."

Thinking of Liu Qian's pale, tempting flesh—

Wang Ye shook his head slightly. "That woman has a strong will to survive, and she can abandon anything for the sake of survival."

If he really had been some lust-crazed pervert, he believed he would already have become Liu Qian's captive in the Shopping Mall.

By then, with the seductive power unique to her voice, along with her outstanding looks...

Women, really...

Wang Ye sighed softly.

Zhang Ziliang fell silent for a moment, clearly accepting reality with resignation in the end. "Alright. I'll report the specifics to those above."

"If nothing goes wrong, our Logistics Department will finally be qualified to compete for squad slots."

With that, Zhang Ziliang let out a small breath of relief and hung up.

Was he really that shameless?

Wang Ye stared at the disconnected call, black lines forming across his face.

Ever since he had laid everything bare with Zhang Ziliang, Zhang Ziliang's attitude toward him had changed far too quickly.

At first, he had praised him—capable, talented!

He had put on the air of a leader who appreciated him.

But after Wang Ye boarded his pirate ship, he had just finished dealing with a Supernatural Incident that had killed countless people, and Zhang Ziliang had not even said a single word of thanks.

Sure enough...

Warmth was reserved for strangers.

Shaking his head slightly, Wang Ye put away his phone, looked at the busy crowd, and returned to the familiar black sedan.

The driver smelled the heavy stench of blood inside the car, and his face turned slightly pale. Yet he still resolutely drove Wang Ye home. Only after Wang Ye got out did he finally lose control and vomit.

Wang Ye had no particular fetishes either. After returning home, he hurriedly took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and sat comfortably on the sofa.

Suddenly, Wang Ye frowned slightly. His ears twitched, and he instinctively reached for the Hemp Rope at his waist before remembering that he had handed it to the investigator squad leader earlier and had not taken it back yet.

A trace of helplessness flashed through his eyes. Wang Ye gently opened the drawer of the coffee table before the sofa and took out an oversized

hand crossbow.

Resting atop it was a golden crossbow bolt that gleamed with a sharp edge.

"Come out."

As he spoke, Wang Ye abruptly rose to his feet, raised the hand crossbow, and aimed it behind him.

He had paid a steep price to acquire this hand crossbow back then. It was exquisitely made and immensely powerful.

It could be said that before his ability awakened, this hand crossbow had been Wang Ye's greatest trump card.

Unfortunately, after his ability awakened, the hand crossbow had gradually faded from Wang Ye's sight.

"So I was still discovered."

Zhou Han pouted unhappily as she sat in a chair some distance away, gazing at Wang Ye with resentment.

A small golden knife danced through the air. At some point, it had already drifted close to Wang Ye.

Looking at the golden knife floating in the air, Wang Ye frowned slightly. A cold glint flashed through his eyes, and his voice gradually turned icy. "Are you trying to kill me?"

"Didn't I say I wanted to dissect you with my own hands~?"

Zhou Han paid no attention whatsoever to Wang Ye's attitude. She got down from the chair, recalled the small knife from the air into her hand, and walked over to Wang Ye with her twin ponytails swaying. "Besides, shouldn't you be more curious about how I got in?"

"Boring woman."

Wang Ye's expression was icy as he gave Zhou Han a faint glance and lowered his hand crossbow. "If there's nothing else, you can leave."

Though he said that, Wang Ye's gaze imperceptibly flicked toward the open window in the distance.

She flew in?

But the window was locked.

Brain Awakening—an Esper of the mind.

Wang Ye quickly reached the corresponding conclusion.

Sensing Wang Ye's attitude, Zhou Han looked aggrieved. "Do you really hate me that much? I think about you every day."

"Thinking about how to dissect me?" Wang Ye gave Zhou Han a casual glance.

Zhou Han fell silent for several seconds, then suddenly licked her lips and smiled seductively.

"Man, you've successfully caught my attention."

As she spoke, Zhou Han took two steps forward, leaned close to Wang Ye, lowered her head slightly, and gently breathed a fragrant puff of air against his earlobe.

A woman's unique scent instantly washed over Wang Ye.

From Wang Ye's angle, he could vaguely see a patch of skin through Zhou Han's collar.

"Changed personalities again?"

"You're sick. You need treatment."

Wang Ye raised his hand crossbow again and aimed it at Zhou Han's brow. No one would doubt that he would pull the trigger the next second.

In these chaotic times, women were like poison. He had long since lost count of how many people had died in women's beds.

That even included top-tier Superhumans.

Not to mention a crazy woman like Zhou Han. One second, she might be making love with you; the next, she could dismember you.

Seeing Wang Ye's movement, Zhou Han's lips twitched slightly. Her expression quickly turned cold.

"Let's talk business."

"Scavenging. Are you going or not?"

Zhou Han looked at Wang Ye coldly and spoke in an indifferent tone.

This personality... changed again?

Wang Ye fell silent. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Judging from your physical condition, you should still be in good shape, right? And since your first awakened part was your brain, the danger of your second Awakening should be much lower."

As he spoke, a faint glimmer rose in Wang Ye's eyes. He stared deeply at Zhou Han. "So... why are you still taking the risk to go scavenging?"

Zhou Han fell silent.

After a long while, she finally raised her beautiful eyes to Wang Ye. "I have a very secret piece of information."

"Ten li east of the city, at the Mass Grave, there's something good."

Yet Wang Ye appeared completely uninterested and shook his head slightly. "First, it's hard to tell whether information like this is real. Second, there's only one good item. Even if you and I go, how would we split it?"

"So."

"It's not worth it."

Wang Ye refused without hesitation.

"What if it's a Thunder Sound Fruit?" Zhou Han looked at Wang Ye, a faint smile appearing on her seductive lips as she spoke lightly.

"Thunder Sound Fruit!"

Wang Ye's pupils contracted slightly.
