In her previous life, Jiang Ruan finally defeated the final invaders with her supreme martial prowess and superpowers, preparing to ascend the supreme throne and lead humanity towards a new dawn.
Now things have really gotten complicated. Not only did An Xia's expression change, but Jiang Ruan's expression also changed.
But she didn't stop.
"Oh, isn't this Miss Anxia? Look how swollen your eyes are. I'll get you some ointment to apply in a bit, and it'll be fine. Don't blame Huayi, it's all my fault. I apologize to you."
He bowed to her as a gesture of apology.
“Miss Qiuwan, this is a meeting, not your private quarters. Please be mindful that even if you don’t respect us, you should still respect Elder Yuan. Moreover, it’s somewhat inappropriate for you to mention two of my people in front of Chief Du!”
Jiang Ruan's voice was very soft and faint, but it stung Qiu Wan like a poisonous thorn.
She didn't say a word, only gave Jiang Ruan a fierce look before quickly covering it up.
Du Song was naturally unhappy about being cuckolded, so he grabbed Qiu Wan's hair and pulled her aside.
Xiao Ran did not stop it, so the meeting did not stop because of this little incident.
"Elder Yuan, it would be best to set off now. Judging from the dark red sky outside, they must have already attacked. If we continue to talk, it may be too late to turn the tide."
Jiang Ruan stared at Xiao Ran, who was wearing the Elder Yuan mask, and gestured for him to end the meeting quickly. The matter of Qinglonggang should be resolved as soon as possible. She had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong. The soon-to-be-revealed Qinglong might have a great battle with the one she had, which might also involve her cub.
She had to end all of this as soon as possible, no matter what.
"Then we'll do as Miss Jiang says. We'll set up two checkpoints. Du Song, you take all the guards and rush to the front line immediately. You must delay and wear down the zombies' energy at the first checkpoint. The rest of us will fight them in the second checkpoint."
The order was given, and Du Song immediately accepted it. Before leaving, he also took Qiu Wan with him.
The battle was fierce. The streets had been occupied by the zombies that had rushed in. They killed and ate people in sight. Many of the people who couldn't be evacuated in time were injured, but the death toll was better than expected.
Du Song was a fire-type ability user, and a level two one at that, so he used fire as a medium to create a wall of fire, isolating the surging zombies and giving them a chance to catch their breath for a short time.
"Du Song, are you out of your mind? Why did you drag me along to your death? I owe you something!" Although Qiu Wan, who was brought along, didn't have any special abilities, her martial arts skills were also weakened because her tendons and bones had been severed. So she was no different from a lamb to the slaughter.
But she still stubbornly took the gun that had fallen by the roadside and shot a few zombies. Her marksmanship was still there, so even though her aim wasn't very accurate, she still managed to protect herself.
Du Song's indifference and neglect repeatedly put her in danger, and she finally couldn't hold back any longer and started cursing.
"Shut up, you bitch! I'm being kind by not killing you outright. You dare to flirt with other men while I'm not around? You've got some nerve. Have you forgotten how you used to grovel before I doted on you? You idiot, so what if you're an assassin? You're still a cripple."
Du Song took down a zombie with a single shot, his cold gaze fixed on Qiu Wan.
"Oh right, you don't know yet, hehehe, all of this is my doing. All the misfortune that has befallen you is my doing. Who told you to like someone else but not me? I'm not much worse than anyone else." Du Song pushed Qiu Wan away, then grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.
"What did you say!" Qiu Wan's eyes were bloodshot, and she was in a state of extreme anger.
She was such a proud person, yet she was not only defiled by a disgusting and lewd man, but he also schemed to make her lose her virginity, become a useless person, and ruin her reputation.
How can someone like that live a good life right in front of me?
Du Song nodded, reached out and shot the zombie that was trying to sneak up on him, a smug look on his face.
Qiu Wan smiled. Only now did she realize everything, but it wasn't too late.
As Du Song drew his gun to reload, she leaped up and used the light blade beneath her feet to stab him. While he was still in shock, she spun around and ripped his heart apart, killing him instantly.
Du Song died suddenly; he was killed before he could even ask any questions.
Qiu Wan steadied herself, tugged at her clothes, and smiled. "Du Song, you didn't expect this, did you? I'm a poison-type ability user. This ability is very good, so good that I can turn my whole body into a poison gas vessel. This actually saved me and reconnected my bones."
I originally intended to spare your life and torture you slowly, but now I've changed my mind. You must die, the sooner the better, because I don't want to see you for even a second longer.
"Oh, right, you don't know this yet, do you? I deliberately seduced you to get you to come with me; it was all to create an opportunity on the battlefield to kill you or torture you myself. Hahahaha..."
Qiu Wan's desolate laughter echoed across the battlefield, because her poison-based ability was too powerful, and the surrounding poison gas acted as a barrier, preventing the surrounding zombies from getting close.
In a short while, without the help of juniper, the zombie broke through the first barrier and reached the middle of the second barrier, roaring wildly.
"You... be careful!" Although Qiu Wan could repel the zombies around her, she couldn't do it further away. Although her muscles and bones had recovered, they were still very weak.
After a while, she really couldn't hold on any longer.
Therefore, she failed to stop the zombies from breaking through the first barrier. However, she managed to save Anxia, who was surrounded by zombies and nearly stabbed to death.
Seeing that it was she who reminded her, An Xia swallowed back the words of thanks she was about to say and turned away with a cold face.
Jiang Ruan noticed Qiu Wan's difference, but she didn't have much time to think about others right now.
The zombies before us were different from those we'd seen elsewhere. They were injured in different parts of their bodies, so much so that what we were seeing now wasn't the kind we usually encountered, but rather exactly the same as the one the old man had drawn.
Thinking this, Jiang Ruan rushed into the crowd and joined everyone in fighting the zombies.
"Ah! Damn, I got bitten! What the hell is this monster? It's so fast!" Qingfeng followed, surrounded by three or four zombies. Although there was a cage space, there were too many opponents, and he wasn't very skilled at it.
So before he could even use it, he was bitten by a zombie that attacked from behind, and the pain was so intense that he almost dropped his weapon.
"What a mess!" Zhang Yang exclaimed and left. Qingfeng watched. Zhang Yang seemed to have an innate aversion to zombies. Every time he killed a zombie, the expression on his face was always so cold-blooded, so different from the person who usually joked with him.
"What are you saying!" Despite this, Qingfeng was still furious. He endured the pain and used the gun in his hand to kill one zombie after another that tried to continue biting him.
"not good!"
