Chapter 203 Choice
As she looked around, she unconsciously lifted her foot to walk inside.
“Miss, please have some self-respect! This is within the jurisdiction of our safe zone, and unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!” Lu Zhan’s attitude was very firm.
Eight high-level ability users beside Shen Qianqian stepped forward at the same time, attempting to exert pressure.
Lu Zhan and his group remained unyielding.
But Shen Qianqian's eyes darted around and her attitude changed.
“Okay, we won’t go in,” she stopped her men and smiled at Lu Zhan. “Then may I ask where your safe zone is? We’d like to rest there for a few days.”
Lu Zhan frowned. Although their safe zone was open to the public, these people had just been very aggressive.
So, after a slight hesitation, he deliberately pointed in the wrong direction.
"Thank you, handsome young man."
Shen Qianqian winked at Lu Zhan, but unfortunately, her eyes and brows were too bright for him to see, and Lu Zhan didn't even flinch.
When Shen Qianqian returned to the RV with the men, her most beloved man came over and hugged her. "Qianqian, have you taken a fancy to those two men?"
Shen Qianqian no longer had her usual patience with him, and coldly pushed him away, saying, "Don't bother me."
She was getting annoyed to death by the system voice in her head.
[Beep beep... Two potential targets of Super SSSS level detected! Host, please seize the opportunity!]
"I know! You've said it a million times!" Shen Qianqian responded impatiently in her mind. "But they completely ignore me! System, can I use an item? Are there any items that make people fall in love at first sight or that instantly boost their affection level?"
She spent most of the points she earned from completing tasks on maintaining her comfortable lifestyle and upgrading her RV, leaving her with very little money, and she couldn't afford any high-level items.
[It is not recommended that the host use low-level items on SSSS-level targets, as the success rate is less than 0.1%, and it is extremely easy to arouse the target's vigilance and resentment! You've clearly encountered many excellent ability users with potential above A-level on the road, why are you so fixated on collecting those with high looks? If you had listened to me and cultivated a few S-level users, you would already have enough points to exchange for high-level items!]
The system's electronic voice even carried a hint of disappointment and frustration.
"Looks are the most important thing! If all those S-class and A-class ability users were as handsome and strong as those two just now, would I still hesitate?"
Shen Qianqian retorted defiantly, her eyes burning as she stared in the direction where Lu Yuyang and Shen Han had disappeared. "Don't worry, I'm not leaving this time. I'll stay here. I refuse to believe that with my charm and methods, I can't make them fall in love with me!"
The system remained silent for a moment before responding coldly: "You'd better actually have such a thing!"
********
Lu Yuyang and Shen Han protected Qiao Xi as they slowly moved forward, the restless "hoarse" sounds of the zombies growing clearer and clearer.
As Lu Yuyang said, these zombies are all evolved zombies, having undergone at least one evolution, and their speed and aggression far exceed those of ordinary zombies.
You can occasionally see secondary evolutions, but tertiary evolutions are extremely rare.
“The energy pool’s energy has depleted considerably,” Lu Yuyang explained to Qiao Xi in a low voice, while carefully choosing a relatively safe route. “It will be difficult to spawn higher-level zombies.”
The deeper one travels into the energy pool region, the more viscous and restless the energy fluctuations in the air become.
As they passed through a cluster of low-rise houses, the sight before them made Josie gasp slightly.
In the relatively open depression ahead, hundreds of zombies were densely packed together!
They wandered aimlessly, emitting low, unsettling hoarse sounds, like a decaying, moving jungle.
These zombies move much faster and are much more coordinated than ordinary zombies. Most of their eyes have a murky yellow light that represents secondary evolution, while only a few have grayish-white eyes that represent first-order evolution.
“There are over four hundred zombies here,” Lu Yuyang explained in a low voice, pointing to the horde of zombies. “When we’re ready to leave someday, we’ll clear them out and take all these crystal cores with us.”
The zombies were restless, but because of the influence of the energy pool, they didn't pay any attention to Josie and the others standing on the high ground.
After observing the energy pool for a while, it was getting late, so Lu Yuyang said, "Let's go back to the safe zone now."
Before leaving, he left behind Fatty and other high-ranking confidants, saying, "Fatty, all of you stay here and guard this place with Lu Zhan. We can't afford any accidents before the last batch of crystal cores is harvested."
"Okay, boss, don't worry."
There are thirty or forty superhumans guarding this place, a small portion of whom are third-tier superhumans, and the lowest are at least second-tier.
These superhumans would be a formidable force anywhere they were placed.
Therefore, he felt very reassured. After giving instructions to the others, he took Qiao Xi and Shen Han back to the safe zone alone.
It was already midnight when they returned to the safe zone. As they approached, the guards swept their flashlights over them, and upon recognizing Lu Yuyang, they immediately came to open the door themselves.
"Chief, you're back?"
Lu Yuyang nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. I was delayed by something and I'm late."
"It's alright, we have to stay on night duty anyway. Chief, you guys are the ones who have the hardest time out there."
The watchmen welcomed them back to the safe zone with great respect.
The safe zone was silent in the dead of night, with only a few scattered lights.
Although Lu Yuyang was extremely reluctant to let Shen Han, an "outsider," step into his territory and get close to Qiao Xi, it was late at night and there was really no other arrangement to make. He could only take the two of them back to his apartment.
Lu Yuyang opened the door and took out the clothes that Qiao Xi had left behind. "Xi Xi, go wash up first."
“Okay,” Josie said without being polite. She had been washing and cleaning all the way here and was almost at her limit.
The warm water washed away the dust and fatigue, making her feel so comfortable that her pores opened up.
When she walked out in comfortable loungewear, exuding a misty, fragrant scent, the two men in the living room, though busy with their own things, instantly focused all their attention on her.
Lu Yuyang considerately walked to the door and opened the bedroom door. "Xixi, it's too late, go in and sleep."
As he spoke, he looked intently at her, his tone carrying a subtle hint of expectation and suggestion.
Upon hearing this, Shen Han turned around, leaned against the sofa, and looked at Qiao Xi with a wistful gaze. "Xi Xi, I'm not used to sleeping in this unfamiliar place..."
His implication couldn't be clearer.
Lu Yuyang's lips twitched involuntarily.
Josie found the undercurrents between the two of them both amusing and somewhat helpless.
She didn't say anything, but simply followed his instructions and headed towards the master bedroom.
Seeing this, Lu Yuyang smiled triumphantly, thinking that she had made her choice.
