To be honest, there was no way to repay a life-saving favor. If she could, Ye Qingwei was willing to offer herself to him willingly.
But Jiang Yang taking her first time in that manner still left a knot in her heart—not too big, but not small either.
It could be said that unless that knot was undone, Ye Qingwei trusted Jiang Yang even less than she had when they first met.
As the saying went, if I couldn't trust you, how could I love you...
"Qingwei, trust me. In a few minutes, this world will undergo earth-shattering changes."
Jiang Yang walked to the window. Red glimmers had appeared in the sky at 5:55 in the morning.
"Bringing you to the hotel was actually premeditated. If I said what happened last night was an accident, would you believe me?"
Jiang Yang revealed a helpless, bitter smile.
"Actually, I wanted to protect you before the crisis arrived!"
Jiang Yang kept spinning his excuses. Once the Apocalypse descended, his excuses would become flawless!
At the same time, he communicated with the system in his mind.
"System, I already took Ye Qingwei. Why haven't I received a reward?"
Ye Qingwei was a heroine-level character. Merely obtaining her body would not earn a reward.
Huh? Could it be... I still hadn't completely won her heart?
As expected of the Son of the Plane's younger sister!
Outside the window, more and more red light appeared on the horizon, and the entire sky looked as though it had been stained with blood.
Ye Qingwei, wrapped in the blanket on the bed, poked her head out to look through the window and stared in a daze.
"So beautiful."
"The final afterglow of human civilization. Of course it's beautiful."
Jiang Yang scooped Ye Qingwei up in a princess carry and brought her to the window. She did not resist in the slightest.
More and more signs proved that Jiang Yang wasn't simply lusting after her body.
At the same time, terrifying chaos had already broken out on the streets below the hotel.
Countless red beams entered the clouds, and blood-red raindrops began to fall.
Immediately afterward, a visible Shockwave spread across the horizon. The entire half of Earth not illuminated by the sun fell into complete darkness!
All of humanity's technology was destroyed. At that moment, Earth's original food chain began to change, and every order was reset.
The reshuffling had begun.
Judgment Day had descended!
At a small inn beside Linjiang University, Ye Fan had just knocked out the young woman at the front desk when she suddenly mutated.
Purple veins emerged all over her body, blood began to seep through her skin, and the once sweet-looking receptionist turned hideous.
She was still dressed in a professional outfit. Her black stockings were no longer alluring; mixed with the slightly blackened blood, they instead made one feel sick and disgusted.
"Damn it!"
Ye Fan picked up a stool and stared coldly at the receptionist.
His first battle since being reborn had begun.
Seven years into the Apocalypse, every technique for killing Zombies had been engraved deep in Ye Fan's memory, becoming nearly instinctive.
The receptionist lunged at Ye Fan. He merely swayed aside, evading her claws, then raised the stool and smashed it into the back of her head.
The first battle was over. Ye Fan was slightly out of breath, but he had still won with ease.
"The Apocalypse has begun. My era has arrived!"
Ye Fan felt every cell in his body tremble with excitement. Though he was still an ordinary person, he carried seven years of memories from the Apocalypse. Once the chaos at its onset passed, he could sneak into Linjiang University and seek out his opportunity.
"Big Brother Jiang, what's happening?"
Ye Qingwei clutched Jiang Yang's arm. Seeing the bloody, brutal scenes outside, she nearly vomited.
"The Apocalypse has arrived."
Jiang Yang pinched Ye Qingwei's chin. "That's why I brought you here."
"Big Brother Jiang... I... I wronged you."
Ye Qingwei was exceptionally intelligent. At last, she understood Jiang Yang's "good intentions" and felt deeply guilty.
She pressed herself tightly against Jiang Yang. After witnessing what had just happened, all the logic was on Jiang Yang's side.
Jiang Yang hadn't lied to her!
He had indeed brought her here because he wanted to protect her, yet she had actually thought Jiang Yang merely wanted to toy with her body.
That he would abandon her once he tired of playing with her—wasn't that always the trope in novels?
Thinking of this, Ye Qingwei felt that everything had happened because she hadn't trusted Big Brother Jiang enough. That was wrong.
The system's voice also rang out in Jiang Yang's mind.
Successfully plundered the Son of the Plane's younger sister!
Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Spirit of the Plunderer and Plunderer's Insight.
Spirit of the Plunderer: through continuous plundering, one could seize a portion of the Son of the Plane's fortune and might even have a chance to devour the Son of the Plane to strengthen oneself.
As for Plunderer's Insight, it was a passive skill that could inspect information.
Both were god-tier skills!
The corners of Jiang Yang's lips rose slightly. Just then, the system spoke again.
The Apocalypse has descended. Attribute panel activated.
Name: Jiang Yang. Constitution: 50 (a normal adult's is 10). Spirit: 55 (a normal adult's is 10). Dexterity: 45 (a normal adult's is 10). Profession: None. Level: Level 0. Ability: None. Skill: Crescent Slash, Spirit of the Plunderer.
Looking at his attribute panel, Jiang Yang could only say, "666."
His attributes were all around five times those of an ordinary person. This was the effect of the Captain America Serum.
Constitution did not merely represent physical fitness; it was a comprehensive reflection of strength, agility, and other qualities. Spirit included willpower, thought, and casting ability. As for dexterity, it primarily concerned the reactions and coordination of the body and brain. Its boost to overall speed was inferior to constitution's.
Besides that, the attribute panel also displayed professions and abilities.
Jiang Yang currently had neither a profession nor an ability, but he would not have to wait long.
When the Apocalypse descended, some people would gain abilities and awaken all sorts of powers.
After the Apocalypse, some people also had a chance to awaken abilities after suffering great stimulation or consuming some heavenly treasure.
However, the awakening of abilities was uncontrollable. Some would awaken powers that strengthened themselves, some could transform directly into werewolves, and some could control countless elements in battle.
No matter what kind of ability it was, they all shared one trait: extraordinary power.
Thus, Ability Users were also synonymous with the strong in the Apocalypse.
Like professions, Ability Users were also divided into nine levels. However, to advance, they needed to use their abilities repeatedly and receive certain stimulation.
Most importantly, Ability Users could also become Professionals. Abilities and professions did not conflict.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Wu Lei and Xiao Wan pounded frantically on Jiang Yang's door.
"Young Master! Are you all right?"
Xiao Wan's face was pale. At that moment, Wu Lei stepped forward and kicked the door.
With a bang, Wu Lei kicked open the hotel's security door. Xiao Wan immediately rushed inside, then let out a scream.
"Did something happen to the boss?"
Hearing her scream, Wu Lei was about to rush in when he heard Jiang Yang's voice.
"I'm fine. Wu Lei, go out first!"
"Yes, Boss."
The room's entrance faced the bathroom rather than the interior, so Wu Lei could not see what was happening inside. But he did not want to know either. As long as Jiang Yang was fine, that was enough.
Inside the room, Ye Qingwei was wrapped in a blanket and held in Jiang Yang's arms.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yang stood naked before the window, and the terrifying length of it nearly blinded Xiao Wan's lively eyes.
"Jiang Yang!"
"Put your clothes on!"
Xiao Wan trembled with anger. She had seen the enormous changes outside through the window and had come over immediately to make sure Jiang Yang was safe.
Yet she found Jiang Yang standing by the window with a girl in his arms... With something like this happening, you still had the mood for that?
"Big Sister Wan, why are you covering your eyes? It's not like you haven't seen it when we were kids."
Jiang Yang curled his lips. If Ye Qingwei were not here, he would not have minded taking Xiao Wan right there.
Xiao Wan was speechless.
Pah! How could childhood and now possibly be the same?
