Tang Zichen's Despair

Tang Zichen had been sleeping soundly.

She suddenly opened her eyes and stood up.

Her pretty face was stern.

Seeing this, Chen Ye immediately knew that something had to be approaching.

"Someone's coming?"

"Yes, quite a few..."

The sound of people walking was completely different from the sound of zombies hopping forward. Tang Zichen could definitely tell them apart.

When Tang Zichen had been sleeping just now, her ear had happened to be pressed against the ground, so she had heard the movement.

After a pause, Tang Zichen added in a low voice, "We're surrounded."

Now even Chen Ye knew something was wrong.

However, he was not panicked.

With his current strength, only several dozen Tang Zichens controlling alloy darts to bombard him together could pose a threat to him.

Were there several dozen Tang Zichens in this secret realm?

A moment later.

Figures began appearing all around them. People continuously emerged from the surrounding grass, coming from every direction.

Tang Zichen had been right.

She and Chen Ye really had been surrounded.

Chen Ye swept his gaze around and estimated that there were at least a hundred people encircling them.

So many people had suddenly appeared to surround the two of them. They clearly meant trouble!

"Good evening, Tang Zichen-san!"

A young man from Japan smiled and said, "We meet again."

Chen Ye looked at the young man and quickly recognized him. He was the idiot who had tried to trade a few wild fruits for their fish a few days ago.

He was helpless.

Why did these idiot villains always love to talk so much?

Couldn't they just rush out and start fighting?

Why did they have to deliberately exchange greetings first?

Didn't they know that villains died from talking too much?

"What do you want? Why have you surrounded us?"

Tang Zichen's pretty face was exceptionally grave.

She did not possess Chen Ye's strength, so naturally she could not remain as relaxed as he was.

The young man was about to say something with a smile.

Chen Ye suddenly interrupted him.

"Wait!"

Then.

Amid everyone's confused looks, he opened his box, took out his phone, turned it on, aimed the camera at the young man, and started recording.

That was right.

Chen Ye had brought his phone into the secret realm too.

There was no signal from the outside world in the secret realm, so his phone had remained switched off. Now that he turned it on, it still had half its battery left.

"Alright, you can continue..."

The Japanese youth was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"I know you. I heard that while livestreaming, you bonded with a C-class Hero? I admire your courage... Are you filming us with your phone to keep it as evidence?"

Laughing, the Japanese youth said, "Idiot, only if you leave alive can the video in your hand be used as evidence. Unfortunately, you and your girlfriend are about to be buried here."

The young man probably felt that victory was already in his grasp, so he openly revealed his purpose and had no intention of stopping Chen Ye from filming.

Chen Ye had only two words to describe the young man's behavior...

What an idiot!!

Chen Ye said nothing. He merely held up his phone and recorded, slowly turning the camera in a circle to capture everyone.

He had been worried about not having a way to make a large number of zombies to kill!

And these people had delivered themselves right to his doorstep.

Since they had come looking for trouble themselves, it should be perfectly reasonable if he got a little excessive in defending himself later, right?

"You came for me?"

Tang Zichen seemed to have realized something.

The Japanese youth nodded. "That's right. Every team here represents a country. Just like us, they do not want your Xia Nation to produce another Ms. Qin."

Hearing this, Tang Zichen's pretty face changed slightly, growing a few shades paler.

Her gaze swept across the people around her. Quite a few of them were even holding alloy shields, clearly prepared specifically to counter her ability.

This was definitely a premeditated assassination!

She was the target!

Seeing their formation, Tang Zichen understood that unless a miracle happened tonight, she would have a hard time surviving.

She pursed her lips, then suddenly said, "My companion is innocent. Can you let him leave?"

This question.

Was truly rather foolish.

With Tang Zichen's intelligence, she should not have asked it.

She simply did not want to drag Chen Ye into this and was trying her luck.

She had originally invited Chen Ye to form a team because she wanted to help him and repay Chairman Chen's kindness.

She had never expected to drag Chen Ye down instead.

If Chen Ye really died because of her today, even if she died too, she would be too guilty to rest in peace!

The people opposite them indeed refused...

"I'm sorry, Tang Zichen-san. This matter must remain confidential, so we cannot let him go."

The Japanese youth smiled again. "If you choose to give up resisting, I can make the decision to give you both a quick death. How about it?"

Chen Ye was speechless.

This short-lived bastard was really long-winded!

It was not just Chen Ye who found him long-winded. Even his companions were becoming impatient.

"Hey, have you said enough? Stop wasting time. I'm already hungry. That woman will be my dinner!"

Tang Zichen's gaze turned cold as she looked toward the speaker.

He was a burly white man.

At that moment, he was staring at her greedily, with a savage grin on his face.

She decided that once the fight began, she would kill this disgusting bastard first...

Then, she stepped back and came to Chen Ye's side, whispering, "Chen Ye, when we start fighting, run to the left. Don't look back. I'll do my best to hold them off and buy you some time!"

Tang Zichen's voice remained calm.

But this time, it carried a hint of resolve.

Hearing those words.

Chen Ye froze.

He had not expected that, even at a time like this, the girl was still thinking about him!

So...

"Class monitor, don't tell me you really have a thing for me?"

Chen Ye wore a serious expression. "Tell me honestly. Did you ask me to team up with you because you wanted my body?"

Tang Zichen: "..."

Such a tragic atmosphere.

Had instantly been ruined by this bastard!

She did not even know what to say.

Clap! Clap!

The Japanese youth opposite them suddenly applauded.

"You two are truly devoted to each other! Unfortunately, my companions can no longer wait. You two, be on your way!"

This guy had definitely studied Xia Nation culture.

Although his pronunciation was still somewhat inaccurate, his wording and sentence construction were quite fluent for a foreigner.

Just as the fight was about to begin.

A young man suddenly stepped out from the left.

"Excuse me for interrupting. Please wait a moment, everyone!"

Everyone was stunned and looked at the young man in confusion.

Chen Ye was speechless.

These people really had too much pointless nonsense!

"Putichai, what is it?"

The Japanese youth frowned and asked in the language spoken in England.

Judging from the sound of it, the name seemed to be from Thailand.

The young man named Putichai coldly glanced at the Japanese man, his eyes filled with undisguised hatred.

"First, I need to correct you. My name is not Putichai, and I am not from Thailand. My real name is Li Zairong, born into the Peninsula Li Family!"

"Li Zhongxi is my older brother!"

As soon as he said this, everyone became even more confused.

However, someone quickly remembered who Li Zhongxi was, and their expression immediately changed drastically.
