Chapter 202 The Chosen One
Just then, on the other side of the blockade, Lu Zhan, who was on guard duty, spotted Lu Yuyang returning and immediately felt relieved, shouting with joy, "Brother! You're finally back!"
"Hmm," Lu Yuyang strode forward, his brows furrowed slightly, "What happened?"
His gaze swept over the seven or eight male superhumans who appeared to be quite powerful and had different expressions.
Before Lu Zhan could finish his accusations, the beautiful woman surrounded by others stared wide-eyed at Lu Yuyang in disbelief. Then, her face lit up with immense joy, and she pointed at Lu Yuyang, exclaiming sweetly, "It's you! I remember you!"
As they got closer, Josie recognized the girl.
It was the girl she had met by chance while traveling with Feng Ye and Lu Yuyang to the safe zone. She was driving a campervan and seemed to possess some kind of peculiar ability.
Now, her "bodyguard" has grown even larger, with eight men of different styles but all quite handsome surrounding her.
Yes, I have to say, it's really impressive.
Shen Qianqian had always been thinking about Lu Yuyang and Feng Ye, whom she had only caught a glimpse of along the way.
Even though she was surrounded by many handsome superhumans, she felt that none of them could compare to the intense impact of the two men she had met that day.
She always fantasized about meeting them again someday, preferably when they were down on their luck and in a sorry state, so that she could lend a helping hand and stage a "beauty saves the hero" scene, and then make them fall head over heels in love with her.
Upon seeing Lu Yuyang, she immediately shook off the man's hand and eagerly tried to rush towards him: "Great! I'm so glad to see you again!"
Her excessive enthusiasm made Lu Yuyang subconsciously frown and take two steps back to avoid her contact.
His obvious avoidance and distancing caused the confident Shen Qianqian to freeze in place, a look of astonishment and disbelief flashing across her face.
Having dated eight handsome men in a row, she is now very confident in her charm.
But the man in front of her repeatedly refused to avoid her.
She was extremely unwilling to accept it, "You...you don't remember me?"
She tried her best to maintain a sweet smile, but her eyes looked somewhat aggrieved.
Lu Yuyang's attention was entirely focused on assessing the strength of the other group of superhumans; he hadn't even glanced at her.
He only glanced at her sparingly when she spoke again, finding her vaguely familiar but not particularly acquainted. He replied in a cool voice, "I don't remember. This is an important management area designated by our security zone; unauthorized personnel are not allowed inside. If you wish to pass, please go around to the side."
They initially only intended to pass through here to leave, but now, Shen Qianqian has instantly changed her mind.
She flashed what she thought was her most perfect smile, her voice soft and sweet: "So you live in the safe zone around here? We're tired from our journey and would like to rest a bit and visit your base, is that alright?"
She tried to get closer to him.
"No." Lu Yuyang refused decisively, leaving no room for negotiation.
The other party tried to pester him further, but Lu Yuyang was too lazy to pay attention. He turned to his men and said, "You've all worked hard. I'll take some men in to patrol. You guys keep watch here."
Everyone responded enthusiastically.
Lu Yuyang then walked back to Qiao Xi's side, protecting her, and together with Shen Han, they crossed the blockade and headed deeper into the energy pool area.
Their figures gradually shrank, yet they still firmly held Shen Qianqian's gaze.
Her gaze was fixed on Josie's back, her heart filled with bitterness and jealousy.
She was clearly the one who had the system and could defy fate, so why did that woman seem to be living a better life than her?
She had seen it more clearly now that she was closer. The woman Lu Yuyang was carefully protecting seemed even more beautiful and captivating than when she had caught a glimpse of her the last time!
It wasn't the exquisite beauty created by piling on cosmetics, nor the fragile beauty that required careful lighting and angles before the apocalypse; rather, it was a vibrant, life-giving, and near-perfect radiance.
Shen Qianqian was immediately deflated. Not to mention the current dusty and grimy post-apocalyptic world, even in the civilized era, in the entertainment industry with top-notch makeup, Photoshop skills and filters, she had never seen anyone more beautiful than the woman in front of her!
It was a breathtaking beauty, flawless from every angle, a natural wonder.
Her skin was so fair and delicate, like the finest mutton fat jade, without any flaws, and seemed to have a soft glow under the light.
Every feature of her face is perfectly proportioned, and when combined, they are so stunning that it's impossible to look away.
Especially her eyes, clear and bright, with an indescribable charm that was not vulgar at all.
Comparing yourself to others is just infuriating!
The vanity and confidence that Shen Qianqian had just accumulated by binding with the system and gaining many "husbands" deflated instantly like a balloon suddenly punctured by a needle, leaving only embarrassment and self-loathing.
What made her even more unbalanced was that the woman not only had a cold and outstanding man like Lu Yuyang by her side, but there was another one!
Her gaze involuntarily shifted to Shen Han, who was protecting Josie on the other side.
That man... was equally breathtakingly outstanding.
His appearance was extremely handsome, even possessing a somewhat eerie allure, yet he exuded a cold and dangerous aura that kept strangers at bay, like an emperor in the dark, mysterious and powerful.
He walked silently, yet his presence was so strong that it could not be ignored.
Lu Yuyang is a cold and resolute iceberg, while this man is a deep and dangerous dark night.
Both have very different styles, yet they are equally outstanding, and both... only have eyes for that woman named Josie!
Shen Qianqian subconsciously glanced back at the eight handsome "husbands" around her RV, each with their own distinct style.
They were standing or sitting, all looking at her, but... for some reason, in comparison, they suddenly seemed to pale in comparison.
Whether it's appearance, temperament, or the powerful aura and unique characteristics emanating from within, the men she collected seem to be far inferior to the two who just left.
The most handsome one among them would normally be pleasing to the eye, but compared to the other two, he was like a firefly compared to the bright moon, instantly appearing ordinary.
A strong sense of loss and resentment instantly overwhelmed Shen Qianqian.
She originally thought that she was bound to the system and became the chosen one, able to easily gather all the high-quality men in the apocalypse and enjoy the pleasure of being the center of attention.
But now she suddenly realizes that what she received might just be... "defective products"?
The truly top-tier men who captivated her at first sight and were unforgettable to her didn't even bother to look at her properly; they were all revolving around another woman!
