Chapter Fourteen: My Woman?
Feng Ye's cold voice made Qiao Xi retract her leg, which she was about to lift.
She really wanted to leave, but this was Fengye's territory, and besides, her superpowers had been exhausted, so where could she escape to?
Thinking of this, a flattering smile appeared on her face as she turned to look at him: "Is there something you need?"
"My woman?"
His voice was low and hoarse, like sandpaper rubbing against rough rock, making it impossible to discern any obvious joy or anger.
Zhao Wenjing clutched the faded hem of her clothes, mustered her courage, and took half a step forward: "Brother Fengye, my sister did this to help me..."
Feng Ye turned his gaze to her: "Wenjing, I have something to say to her alone. You go back first."
Zhao Wenjing glanced at Qiao Xi cautiously, her eyes filled with guilt, before slowly walking away, turning back every few steps.
As Josie watched her departing figure, she thought to herself that this girl still had a conscience, and that it was worth risking offending Xing Jiao to help her.
Although she had her own reasons for helping.
Even as she reached the corner, Zhao Wenjing couldn't help but look back.
Knowing she couldn't avoid it, Josie simply put on an innocent yet sly smile.
"Xing Jiao was trying to bully her just now, and I only intervened in a moment of panic. Using your name to scare her was also to protect your people, so you shouldn't mind, right?"
"I do mind," Feng Ye replied crisply.
This was unexpected for Josie. She had only wanted to get through these two days peacefully and had never thought that she would have any further contact with this superhuman, so she had not considered the consequences.
She immediately racked her brains, trying to figure out what she could use to gain his forgiveness so that she could get through these next few days safely.
Feng Ye preemptively said, "I can overlook the fact that you made up stories about me, but I need you to do something for me."
So that's what they were waiting for!
Josie smiled slightly: "Tell me, as long as I can do it."
What is your special ability?
“That’s my privacy,” Josie said, refusing to elaborate.
Feng Ye's eyes flickered slightly: "If you can suddenly appear in my room, you should be able to go to other places too?"
"You could say that."
Josie couldn't deny this. Because she had initially appeared in front of him out of nowhere.
Feng Ye scrutinized her face.
She looked very young, but her eyes revealed a cunning that belied her age.
He had seen countless beauties while on missions abroad, but he had to admit that the girl in front of him had a beautiful face blessed by heaven.
"You don't have to tell me what your superpower is, but in a few days I need you to go to a place with a lot of zombies. Can you do that?"
"Is that place dangerous?" Josie raised an eyebrow.
“Yes,” Feng Ye said without hesitation, “there are mutated zombies there, but the exact number is unknown. I need your help to confirm it. Can your special ability do that?”
“I seem to have gotten the short end of the stick in this deal. I was only using your name to stay for two days, but you made me risk my life.”
Feng Ye only wanted to use the incident as an excuse to get her help; if you really think about it, he did benefit from it.
"You can set conditions."
"really?"
“Mm,” Feng Ye replied.
Josie rolled her eyes. If the risk was too great, she didn't need to risk herself.
"This is dangerous. I need to think about it carefully. Give me a few days to consider it. Once I've made a decision, I'll discuss the terms with you."
"Can."
Her powers recovered very slowly, but a few days should be enough.
We'll act according to the circumstances, lending a hand if it's convenient, and slipping away if it's not.

Bang!
Xing Jiao angrily kicked open the door.
The crystal chandelier cast a lavish light onto the leather sofa, illuminating three disheveled men and women.
The shelter is equipped with solar panels, ensuring a sufficient power supply.
The coffee table was also filled with fine wines and cigarettes, exuding extravagance.
When Xing Wu saw his sister barge in, he pushed aside the scantily clad beauty on his lap, and exhaled a smoke ring from the cigar between his fingers.
Enraged, Xing Jiao plopped down on the sofa and yelled at the two beauties beside Xing Wu, "Get out of here, both of you!"
The two beauties shrank back in fright. Xing Wu patted their bare backs: "Jiaojiao has a bad temper, you two should leave first."
As the beauty tugged at her clothes and retreated, Xing Jiao couldn't wait to complain: "Big brother, Feng Ye has a woman!"
Xing Wu took a deep drag on his cigar, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"That skinny girl Zhao Wenjing? Feng Ye would actually be interested in her?"
"It's not Zhao Wenjing!" Xing Jiao stomped her foot angrily. "She's someone who suddenly appeared, ten times prettier than any of the beauties here!"
Xing Wu immediately sat up straight: "More beautiful than them? In our camp?"
Xing Jiao opened the drink on the table, took a sip, and said, "Feng Ye must have brought it back himself. I've never seen it before."
Xing Wu immediately became interested.
Over the past three months, he had sent countless beauties to win over Feng Ye, but the other party remained unmoved, even making him suspect that Feng Ye was attracted to men.
The handsome young man they sent was also turned away.
Xing Wu knew that his abilities were limited and that he needed to recruit powerful individuals with special abilities to expand his influence.
He pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's a good thing he brought a woman back. No man is immune to novelty. If you take the initiative, he won't refuse."
Talking about this makes her angry, and Xing Jiao's face darkened even more.
"I threw myself at him today, and he threw me out!"
Xing Wu didn't take it seriously: "Don't worry, let Jiang Bai take action in a few days. He'll be my brother-in-law sooner or later."
Feng Ye was away from home all day, which made him uneasy.
He, who once couldn't even get an ordinary woman, can now freely choose the most beautiful woman.
They would go to great lengths to please him just for a full meal.
This feeling fascinated him, and he wanted to continue to expand his power and control the allocation of resources in the apocalypse.
Therefore, he had to win over Fengye.
Although we hold two of the other party's weaknesses, only by making Feng Ye our brother-in-law and binding him with both kinship and interests can we truly keep this sharp weapon.

Lu Yuyang searched all night but found no trace of Qiao Xi, and he didn't want to think about the worst.
Perhaps she was just trapped, or perhaps she changed her mind at the last minute and didn't want to go with us.
"Senior, we've already crossed the city, why don't we just leave?"
Lu Yuyang remained silent for a long time before finally deciding to follow his heart.
Without Josie's help, they would never have been able to cross this zombie-infested city unscathed.
"I can't accompany you on the rest of the journey. Once you leave the city, there are fewer zombies outside. With these few superhumans protecting you, you will definitely reach the safe zone."
"What?"
"Isn't the senior coming with us?" Kang Ya asked anxiously.
"Yes, I have some personal matters to attend to. Take care."
For the past three months since the apocalypse, Lu Yuyang has been the backbone of the team.
His sudden departure threw everyone into a panic.
"Senior, is there anything we can't solve together? Without your command, we probably won't reach the safe zone."
Lu Yuyang stood up: "I can only handle this by myself. You guys go first. If you can resolve this quickly, you might be able to catch up with everyone."
Having said this, everyone understood that he was determined to leave.
Lu Yuyang's gaze swept over every face: "Take care, everyone!"
After saying that, he shouldered his bag and resolutely walked towards the city center...
