Bro, You're Surrounded by Beauties

"I'm telling you, Brother Teng, those chicks are even prettier than the woman Boss personally went out to chase."

"If we take this group down, maybe we'll get a taste."

"You know Boss's personality. If he comes back, there won't be any left for us."

Beside Li Youqiang.

After hearing that, Xu Teng rubbed his chin. He was a fitness coach who specialized in serving wealthy women.

He was proficient in Muay Thai and Sanda. Whatever else could be said, his professional skills were solid, which was why he had become the team's second-in-command.

"Move aside. Let me take a look."

Xu Teng made Li Youqiang step away, then leaned down to peer through the gap. The moment he looked, his eyes went blank.

They really were three top-tier beauties!

Xu Teng's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. These three women were far superior to the low-tier internet influencers he could only hook up with on Douyin after spending a month's salary.

They were practically creatures from another dimension.

Even that woman who looked somewhat plain could have emptied his Alipay balance before the Apocalypse just by turning on a beauty filter in front of the camera.

If they fell into my hands...

The corners of Xu Teng's mouth curled upward. After indulging in a brief fantasy, he decided to take this group down later. He was only the second-in-command—if he waited for Boss to return, he would at most get the leftovers.

But when he looked through the gap again, he discovered that the group across from them was heading his way.

A few minutes earlier, the team's discussion had ended. In the end, Xiao Wan's suggestion had the highest margin for error among everyone's ideas.

As expected of his chief steward and potential harem member.

Xiao Wan's suggestion was to first approach one group and cooperate with them.

Those people could either fend off the Zombies drawn in by the sounds of battle or simply stay out of the way, and in return, they would be given some resource rewards.

Part of it was similar to what Jiang Yang had been thinking.

But the core idea was different, though Jiang Yang did not say so.

After all, his people had yet to realize just how dark the Apocalypse was. Basically no one would follow the rules.

Human hearts were often more dangerous than Zombies.

For example, something even more effective than holding back Zombies was actually luring them in.

Still, Xiao Wan's idea was already quite good. It would take time for her way of thinking to shift from peaceful times to the Apocalypse.

Such a good girl... where else could he find a steward like that?

"Which small group should we go to first?" Qiu Chan asked, then looked around. "There are survivors in almost every building, but they might not all be like us. They might be wary of one another and constantly scheming."

That was also why Qiu Chan had always traveled alone.

In the novel, it was not as though she had never joined a team. It was within those teams that she saw through human nature, and later gave up on joining any more groups.

"Let's go to that alley first. Someone's been watching us for quite a while."

Jiang Yang wore a cold smile. He had noticed someone observing them long ago.

The improvements Captain America Serum and Dragon Totem gave him were not limited to what showed up on the Numerical Panel. Some effects were even more useful in practice.

For instance, a sixth sense—intuition.

As a Professional's level rose, their very level of life also changed.

Intuition was a real thing.

Jiang Yang could sense that someone was watching them. It was an extremely strange feeling, impossible to explain, yet as natural as eating when hungry.

He could tell someone was watching them—more precisely, watching the women in the team!

"Who's watching us?"

Ye Qingwei and the others looked around, but could not spot anything. Then they saw Jiang Yang get up and head toward an alley.

"Everyone, follow!"

The moment Jiang Yang and the others entered the alley, several young men holding knives and clubs rushed out and surrounded them.

Only after confirming there was no danger did Xu Teng step out from the crowd, his restless eyes sweeping over Jiang Yang's group.

Especially when he saw Qiu Chan, amazement flashed repeatedly in his eyes, and he was practically drooling.

"Bro, you're surrounded by beauties."

His voice was full of envy and jealousy.

"Where are you looking? Don't want your eyes anymore?"

Qiu Chan snorted coldly.

She could feel that vulgar gaze wandering over her body.

For some reason, ever since meeting Jiang Yang, she had become extremely disgusted by such vulgar behavior—though Jiang Yang was the exception.

Xu Teng was startled by the killing intent in Qiu Chan's gaze, and shame and indignation soon rose in his heart.

Whenever he went on blind dates, those ugly, fat, overly confident women looked down on him for not having a car or a house.

Now that it was the Apocalypse, were these women still going to act so high and mighty?

Anger surged through Xu Teng. Just as he was about to lash out, he heard a woman calling for help from nearby.

"Bitch, stop running!"

"Stick with me, and you'll live the good life!"

"There are Monsters everywhere outside. Why are you looking to die?"

"Get lost! You bunch of filthy thugs!"

Tang Ya ran toward Jiang Yang's group in a sorry state, with seven or eight young men chasing after her. The commotion drew out the Zombies hiding inside the houses on both sides.

Shi Lei gripped the iron rod in his hand tightly. Seeing the Zombies pour out of the houses, he cursed inwardly, Bitch, just let me catch you.

He had not expected the bitch to have such good stamina. Not only had he failed to catch up to her, but she had also drawn out a huge number of Zombies.

"Bitch! Let's see how long you can keep running. I'm definitely going to have you today!"

Shi Lei stared fixedly at Tang Ya's retreating back. Lust had gone to his head, and he continued chasing her relentlessly.

Suddenly, a figure darted toward him.

Before he could see what was happening, the Zombies near that figure were beheaded in an instant.

What was going on?

Before Shi Lei could react, a young man appeared before him.

"Do you know that she's my woman?"

Jiang Yang spoke to him in a low voice, Dragon Might radiating from his body.

He had not expected Tang Ya to still be alive.

However, Jiang Yang had not forgotten that although Tang Ya was materialistic, he had been her first.

Strictly speaking, she was his woman!

"You..."

Before Shi Lei could finish, the world before his eyes began to spin.

With a bang, his head hit the ground.

Xu Teng and the others in the distance were dumbfounded, but those young men behind Shi Lei were even more shocked.

Everyone felt as though they had been targeted by some primordial beast, unable to move at all.

"You really are tired of living!"

Jiang Yang drew his blade. With a few flashes, he killed those thugs.

Only he was allowed to touch his woman!

Tang Ya was still shaken, but when she saw that it was Jiang Yang, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Her tense, terrified emotions finally eased, and she instinctively wanted to throw herself into Jiang Yang's arms.

But Jiang Yang skillfully stopped her.

"Pretend you don't know me. Watch my cues."

Jiang Yang was somewhat surprised. Tang Ya being alive was a small pleasant surprise.

Tang Ya nodded, both hands gripping Jiang Yang's arm tightly.

"Don't reveal our relationship later."

After reminding her, Jiang Yang led Tang Ya back to the others.

"Sister Tang!"

Ye Qingwei rushed over and grabbed Tang Ya's hand. In the Apocalypse, seeing someone familiar was something worth celebrating, especially when that person was her future sister-in-law.

"Qingwei? You can stand now?"

Tang Ya's eyes lit up when she saw the transformed Ye Qingwei.

The sickly pallor had vanished from Ye Qingwei's face, replaced by a gentle glow, as though she had been nourished.
