Luring Zombies

After arranging the transfer plan, Qin Feng raised his hand, a ball of lightning gathered in his palm, and he threw it at the zombie horde, instantly charring a few zombies.

Sensing danger, the zombie horde let out anxious roars from their throats, attacking the door of their residence even more fiercely.

Seeing the door about to collapse, Qin Feng jumped down from the roof of the flat-top house and threw several more lightning balls at the zombie horde, forcefully blasting open a path through them.

Seeing an opening, Qi Xing also jumped down.

Unlike Qin Feng's powerful and brute-force style, Qi Xing moved like a feline, with a light leap, landing silently on both feet.

Because he had to get close to the zombie horde and couldn't use his Wood Ability, Qi Xing didn't use his usual dagger this time. Instead, he held a steel pipe over a meter long for self-defense, closely following behind Qin Feng, and rushed out of the zombie horde along the path Qin Feng had cleared with his lightning balls.

Jiang Zhaosu watched from the rooftop as Qi Xing swung his arms like playing baseball, effortlessly smashing the heads of attacking zombies, and was speechless.

Could he still pretend to be weak like this?

"Wow, Fugui, your brother is so cool!"

After Qin Feng left, Duan Yuanyuan clearly felt much more relaxed and finally dared to speak these words boldly.

"He knows Healing Art and is also so good at fighting! No wonder he's been able to protect you all this time."

Jiang Zhaosu diligently maintained her persona as a mentally challenged girl, showing no reaction.

Cao Yuan, standing behind them, let out a cold laugh and sneered, "Hmph, he's just a pretty boy. What's so great about having a Healing Ability? When danger comes, aren't you still relying on us attack-type ability users to charge ahead."

Duan Yuanyuan turned to Cao Yuan displeasedly, "If Healing Abilities were useless, why would Qin Feng keep him? I think you're just jealous because he's handsome."

This remark hit a sore spot for Cao Yuan.

Although Qin Feng was older, his nearly 1.9-meter height and robust physique, combined with his masculine appearance, made him popular with some women at the electronics factory.

Cao Yuan, on the other hand, was thin and short, with dark skin, looking like a monkey from a distance. He was almost thirty and still didn't have a girlfriend.

After the apocalypse, although he had awakened an ability, those snobbish, hypocritical women were all like Duan Yuanyuan, more eager to rely on the tall, imposing, and secure Qin Feng.

Little did they know that Qin Feng was only upright in appearance; in reality, he treated women like clothes – discard them after use, or kill them directly, never allowing these women to join the team and waste resources.

Occasionally, a few women showed interest in Cao Yuan, but Qin Feng rejected them outright.

Cao Yuan's ability was not as powerful as Qin Feng's, so he could only obey him.

The prolonged suppression made Cao Yuan's already inferior and dark inner self even more twisted.

In fact, even before the apocalypse, when the three of them played games together, he had developed feelings for Duan Yuanyuan.

But back then, this woman only flirted with Qin Feng and wouldn't even glance at him.

When Qin Feng became obsessively infatuated with her, constantly hinting that they should get together, Duan Yuanyuan began to be evasive.

Cao Yuan thought at the time that Duan Yuanyuan was a gold digger, vain and materialistic.

To put it bluntly, she just thought Qin Feng was poor, disliked that they had no car or house, and couldn't afford a bride price.

He told Qin Feng these things, advising him not to chase this slut, but Qin Feng was too infatuated at the time and didn't listen, still pursuing Duan Yuanyuan wholeheartedly.

Later, when the zombie virus broke out, the first thing Qin Feng did after awakening his ability was to find Duan Yuanyuan. He finally won the heart of his goddess, only to not cherish her after getting her.

The words he had said to Qin Feng had taken root in Qin Feng's heart.

Every time Qin Feng saw Duan Yuanyuan's face, he would recall his days as a simp, and a surge of anger filled with humiliation would rise in his heart.

Anyway, Duan Yuanyuan didn't dare to leave him now, so he could humiliate and torment her however he pleased.

What Jiang Zhaosu and Qi Xing had heard last night, Cao Yuan had heard countless times, and even witnessed firsthand.

He now felt Duan Yuanyuan was truly stupid and cheap, with no self-respect, willing to endure anything to survive.

Such a cheap slut who survived by spreading her legs and living under men, yet she dared to look down on him.

Anger surged within Cao Yuan, and he grabbed Duan Yuanyuan by the neck. His already unattractive features became even more hideous and twisted with rage, and he said sinisterly, "I'm jealous of that pretty boy? Ridiculous. I think you're the one who wishes you could crawl into that pretty boy's bed."

"You keep changing skirts for his sister and giving her hair clips, trying to please him so obviously. Do you think that pretty boy has ever given you a second glance? Guess what would happen if I told Qin Feng what you just said. Do you think he'd think you were cheating on him and break your legs before throwing you into the zombie pit?"

After ability users activated their powers, their bodies would undergo varying degrees of enhancement.

Duan Yuanyuan, an ordinary person, was completely unable to resist Cao Yuan.

As Cao Yuan choked her, her face quickly turned red, her eyes rolled back, and she gasped hoarsely, "Cao Yuan, let go, I'm dying..."

She could say any vulgar thing in front of Qin Feng, but she still had such a condescending attitude towards him.

Cao Yuan suddenly changed his mind.

Grabbing Duan Yuanyuan by the neck, he dragged her to the edge of the flat-top house like a chicken and then spread his arms, lifting her entire body out over the roof.

Most of the zombies below had already been lured away by Qin Feng and Qi Xing, leaving only five or six stubborn ones still banging on the door.

Most flat-top houses were not high. Duan Yuanyuan was 1.65 meters tall. As soon as she was pushed out, zombies below, drooling, eagerly jumped up, opening their mouths to bite her.

Cao Yuan's grip loosened slightly. Duan Yuanyuan screamed in terror, tears immediately welling up in her swollen eyes again, "No! No!"

"Want to live?" Cao Yuan asked her, a malicious smile on his uneven, dark face.

Duan Yuanyuan nodded desperately.

"Then I'll let you back. Take off all your clothes, kneel on the ground, and kowtow to me three times."

Cao Yuan narrowed his triangular eyes, looking sinisterly and lewdly at the tearful Duan Yuanyuan, his tone softening slightly, "Don't worry, I won't tell Qin Feng about this."

Duan Yuanyuan replied with uncontrollable sobs, "I promise... I'll kowtow to you..."

Just as I thought, a slut who'd do anything to survive.

Cao Yuan then retracted his hand.

He tossed Duan Yuanyuan to the ground like trash. She coughed for a long time, clutching her neck, tears streaming down her face as she fumbled with the buttons of her clothes.

Finding her too slow, Cao Yuan stepped forward, bent down, and reached for Duan Yuanyuan's chest.

Jiang Zhaosu, who had been silently watching this torment from the side, suddenly bolted forward. She grabbed the back of Cao Yuan's clothes with both hands and flung him off the flat-roofed house.

"Ah--"

Duan Yuanyuan, who had resigned herself to the impending assault, screamed again, startled by the sudden turn of events.

As an Ability User, the moment Jiang Zhaosu threw him off the roof, Cao Yuan quickly gathered Water Arrows in his palms and fired them at the zombies lunging at him.

After messily dealing with the remaining zombies, Cao Yuan, aching all over from the fall, got up from the ground, covered in dirt. He looked up, his gaze venomous, at Jiang Zhaosu, who was still standing on the roof.

The petite Jiang Zhaosu was held tightly by the crying Duan Yuanyuan. She looked down at him from above, her ink-black eyes devoid of emotion, as if she were looking at a dead man.

Cao Yuan hated that look the most.

He stared intently at Jiang Zhaosu with his small, beady eyes, spat on the ground, and cursed her with foul language, calling her a "little slut." Then, he raised his hand, a faint shimmer of water appearing between his fingers.

The Water Arrows had formed, ready to be unleashed from his palm.

However, Cao Yuan couldn't detect even a trace of fear on Jiang Zhaosu's face, which only enraged him further.

She's just that outsider's sister, and he's a Healing Ability User. They pose no threat to me or Qin Feng.

Cao Yuan hardened his heart and raised his hand, about to fire at Jiang Zhaosu.

Whoosh--

A second before his Water Arrow could launch, a severely deformed steel pipe flew from a distance, grazing past Cao Yuan's cheek.

Intense pain instantly flooded Cao Yuan's brain.

He collapsed to his knees, his features contorted in agony. He screamed, clutching his right ear, which was no longer visible, replaced by a bloody, mangled mess.

He had actually lost an ear, sliced off by a hollow steel pipe!

Then, from his other ear, he heard a clear, gentle, yet chilling male voice: "Who are you calling a little slut?"
