Chapter 21

Face Slapping the Original Leaders of the Military Base (Apocalypse)

“I don’t care.”

“You…” Wang Ying pointed at Zhou Xu, trembling with anger. “Was your love from before fake?”

“I don’t know, maybe it was true.” Zhou Xu said. Seeing he had no other choice, he continued, “Or maybe it wasn’t.”

“What if I said I’d never forgotten you? I love you, Zhou Xu, let’s get back together.”

“I refuse. Goodbye.”

Zhou Xu turned around and left. He bowed his head, the corners of his mouth tilted up. Haha, let’s not talk about Wang Ying’s nature. There was no one else less qualified to say “love” than herself.

Xixi hadn’t seen Zhou Xu for a long time, and so she happily jumped into Zhou Xu’s arms and kissed him on the cheek. Xixi said, “Brother Zhou Xu, I missed you very much.”

Zhou Xu’s haze disappeared in an instant. Zhou Xu smiled gently. “Xixi, I missed you too.”

The next day, Zhou Xu sent Xixi back to the school, but before that, he told Xixi that he would be gone for two to three weeks. Xixi cleverly said that she knew, and so Zhou Xu went to receive a C-level mission on behalf of his team.

C-level missions were a little harder than D-level missions, and there was a possibility of encountering second-class zombies, but in exchange, the rewards reaped were plentiful, at least enough to earn a month’s ration.

Ding Zhaoyu and Tang Wanxin were still on the team. However, before his team left, Zhou Xu asked the base for another person, and that person was Wang Ying. He didn’t intend to allow Wang Ying to continue to live leisurely in the base. After all, she was actually a power. It was just that she was afraid of dying, so she would rather climb into many people’s beds than go out on a mission.

The base naturally agreed. And because Zhou Xu had been very insistent, Wang Ying arrived soon after the base’s decision. Wang Ying hadn’t yet managed to hug a strong person’s thighs , so she was willing to go to Zhou Xu again.

However, what was unexpected that Xia Qingfeng also came along, due to the fact that the C-level mission was more troublesome. The mission was to go to a manufacturing factory to get a few machines, which were big and heavy. Usually, only two machines could be retrieved per trip. So the situation for the mission was that as long as someone was willing to go, they could take on the mission at any time.

Zhou Xu was quite certain that Xia Qingfeng had decided to go absolutely because he saw that Zhou Xu was going to lead the mission, so he also took the mission. Zhou Xu had clearly seen that, in the beginning, Xia Qingfeng had another C-level mission listed in the mission application column.

The two looked at each other, and then Zhou Xu extended his hand and said with a smile, “Xia Qingfeng, pleasant cooperation ah.”

Xia Qingfeng and Zhou Xu shook hands and Xia Qingfeng said with a blank expression, “Don’t make me save you again.”

“I won’t.”

Zhou Xu felt that Xia Qingfeng had thorns all over him. Fortunately, he wasn’t in the mood to argue with Xia Qingfeng. Otherwise, he might’ve vomited blood because of Xia Qingfeng’s character.

Xia Qingfeng looked at Zhou Xu’s smile. He once again confirmed that he liked his smile very much. It was warm, as if a millennium of cold ice would melt and turn into a pool of spring water.

Zhou Xu ignored Xia Qingfeng and checked on the crew and the vehicles. He waved his hand and said, “Set out.”

Wang Ying originally had thoughts about going to Zhou Xu’s team. She didn’t believe that Zhou Xu, a big fool who had liked her so much, would give up on her so easily. She still wanted to try, especially after she found out that Zhou Xu personally asked important people in the base for her. She was more convinced now that Zhou Xu actually liked her.

On the morning of when they were supposed to depart, it was a bit cloudy. Not too long after, dense raindrops began to fall. Wang Ying wanted to sit in a car with Zhou Xu, but Zhou Xu refused. Finally, she had no other choice but to go sit in the truck.

Wang Ying was thinking about how to make Zhou Xu like herself again so she didn’t pay too much attention to it. Ding Zhaoyu and her cousin Tang Wanxin were also there.

In fact, Wang Ying had long known that Ding Zhaoyu and Tang Wanxin were also at the base. But since her powers were low-level, she was no match for them at all. As a result, she was regarded as insignificant. However, she was now changing directions. After seeing Ding Zhaoyu and Tang Wanxi who were also gathered there with her, Wang Ying’s mind came alive, once again coming up with schemes.

Because Zhou Xu knew Wang Ying very well and guess what she wanted to do, Zhou Xu was in a good mood.

“Boss, why are you so happy?”

Zhou Xu smiled and answered, “I’m thinking of a play to watch.”

“A play?”

“You’ll see.”

Because the place they had to go to was far away, it took more than a day to drive there, so at the halfway point, they stopped the cars to let everyone rest. When they arrived at their destination at noon the next day, everyone looked at Ding Zhaoyu and Tang Wanxin differently.

Wang Ying greeted them (DZ/TW) with a smile, which made them very unhappy, but they couldn’t do anything in front of everyone.

Not long after Zhou Xu and his team got off their vehicles, Xia Qingfeng’s team also arrived. The two teams had cooperated once before, so they were very friendly to each other. At the same time, the matter that Ding Zhaoyu and Tang Wanxin had left behind their teammates was being spread.

Zhou Xu was happy to see it succeed. He then started assigning tasks, but he also put them together. In any case, they were sure to fight with each other. As for the results, Zhou Xu said that he didn’t care at all, because no matter which one lost, he still considered it as revenge.

There weren’t too many zombies. After all, in the first place, there hadn’t been a lot of residents who lived nearby. All of the buildings were factories, and so there were fewer zombies. They occasionally encountered second-class zombies, but with Zhou Xu’s current ability, it wasn’t a problem to fight one or two second-class zombies. Even if there were third-class zombies, Zhou Xu would still have the ability to fight them.

Xia Qingfeng followed their team from a distance. Of course, when zombies attacked, he would naturally help, but in fact, he had been watching Zhou Xu.

Zhou Xu’s appearance was very good. His back was tall and straight. He always had a smile when talking with other people, a smile that people felt was very warm. That’s why Xia Qingfeng couldn’t help but notice Zhou Xu. He really couldn’t understand how a person’s smile could be so warm. When he first met Zhou Xu, he (ZX) was like the devil reborn.

The team made steady progress and didn’t run into any major difficulties. The biggest difficulty of the entire mission was probably carrying the machine back to the truck.

After the machine was secured, Zhou Xu let the team members take a rest. He followed a path to a dilapidated staff dormitory. If he remembered correctly, his father, Zhou Kang, should be hiding there.

After taking a few steps, the corners of Zhou Xu’s mouth slightly tilted upwards, because it seemed that he had attracted a few people.

The dormitory was so rundown that it might have been abandoned long before the apocalypse began.

Knowing that someone was following him, Zhou Xu deliberately slowed down his pace. He went to the middle of the dormitory before he turned around and smiled, “Friend, come out.”

Ding Zhaoyu and Tang Wanxin slowly emerged through the dormitory entrance. Ding Zhaoyu smiled and said, “Zhou Xu, what are you doing here alone?”

“That has nothing to do with you ba. I’d like to ask you, what are you doing?”

“I just saw that there was a dormitory here, so I wanted to check it out. I’m not trying to follow you. I’m with Tang Wanxin, so I really didn’t mean to follow you.”

When Zhou Xu bowed his head, the expression on his face changed. When he looked up again, the warm expression he had worn was replaced by a gloomy one. His expression now was like a poisonous snake ready to attack. He could, at any time he wanted, take the other person’s life.

Both Ding Zhaoyu and Tang Wanxin paused. They had just wanted to lock him up again, but now, it seemed as if they had to fight.

Zhou Xu took advantage of their hesitation and attacked, shooting out a water sword in their direction.

Ding Zhaoyu stepped back and Tang Wanxin quickly formed a water wall. However, Tang Wanxin’s level was low, so even though there was a water wall erected, Zhou Xu’s sword pierced through the water wall and headed straight towards them.

The obstruction of the water wall gave Ding Zhaoyu some time. He fired a flaming bullet at Zhou Xu’s water sword.

Without giving them the chance to fight back, Zhou Xu transformed water into ice, and then hundreds of ice needles came down like hail, attacking Ding Zhaoyu and Tang Wanxin.

Ding Zhaoyu hurriedly lifted his hands, and a shield made of fire protected him and Tang Wanxin.

Zhou Xu flipped his hand upwards and drew a circle in the air. In an instant, the ice needles attacked the two people opposite him from all sides.

Tang Wanxin and Ding Zhaoyu had to find ways to block the attack again. Their fire and water powers worked together and finally blocked Zhou Xu’s ice needles.

Zhou Xu continued changing his attacking methods, but Tang Wanxin and Ding Zhaoyu began their counterattack by cooperating with each other.

Zhou Xu soon became lazy and didn’t want to spend any more time with them, so he unleashed a strong water storm with a clap of thunder, and Ding Zhaoyu and Tang Wanxin completely lost.

The raindrops were like bullets. Once they fell on Ding Zhaoyu and Tang Wanxin, they were instantly left bleeding from head to toe.

Ding Zhaoyu looked at Zhou Xu in surprise and said, “How can your power grow so fast?”

Zhou Xu spread out his hands and answered, “Because you are not the only one who knows that zombie crystal nuclei can increase power.”

“Boss, Boss…” When Song Jun came in and saw the scene, he was shocked. Then he turned around and stood in front of Zhou Xu. He faced Ding Zhaoyu and Tang Wanxin and said, “What do you two want to do?”

Ding Zhaoyu gestured to the wounds on his body and said, “What does the captain want to do to us? Zhou Xu, do you dare say that these wounds weren’t made by you?

At this time, other teammates also came in. Xia Qingfeng followed the crowd, coming in last. Zhou Xu smiled and did not refute what Ding Zhaoyu said. Instead, he looked at Xia Qingfeng standing behind the crowd and said, “You can just ask Xia Qingfeng what you want to know.”

The people immediately turned their gazes to Xia Qingfeng, who was pretending to be someone who also didn’t know the truth. He had no choice but to say, “Zhou Xu was here first, and Ding Zhaoyu and Tang Wanxin followed him.”

Wang Ying raised her eyebrows. She came forward and said, “Oh, you harmed us once, but now you want to do it again?”

Comments:

Zhou Xu is Zhou Xu. Ding Zhaoyu and Tang Wanxin thought they could beat him but ha! And Wang Ying’s scheming again, but she doesn’t know Zhou Xu’s true purpose mwahaha.

As always, let me know if you see anything wrong!
