Chapter 340: The Siege in the Apocalypse (17)
When Gu Yan returned, Wen Wan told him about it, and after that, no one came to see Wen Wan again, which meant that Gu Yan had given the order.
Afterwards, rumors circulated in the safe zone that Captain Gu was keeping a mistress, and that she always wore a mask so that no one knew what she looked like. As the saying goes, the more something is hidden, the more people want to find out.
Gu Yan was busy with Lin Fulong's affairs. After all, Lin Fulong himself was quite capable, and he also had a large number of superhumans under his command. If they fought and died, frankly speaking, it would not be a good thing for humanity.
Gu Yan eventually revealed his status as a level six ability user, completely suppressing Lin Fulong's resistance. However, Lin Fulong was outwardly convinced but inwardly resentful. After learning that Gu Yan had brought back a woman, Lin Fulong began to have other ideas.
They sent people to kidnap him.
Wen Wan really didn't expect that Lin Fulong could kidnap her twice. It was really strange.
However, this time Wen Wan took the opportunity to follow the kidnapped people to Lin Fulong's territory, met Lin Fulong, and while Lin Fulong was babbling a bunch of threatening words at her, she completely got all the thoughts out of Lin Fulong and his second, third, and fourth-in-commands. And then, oh my god, this is really messy.
Lin Fulong looked at Wen Wan and said, "Whether you want to live or not depends on whether Gu Yan wants you to live. Are you wearing a mask because you're too beautiful or because you can't be seen by others? Let me see what kind of face the woman Gu Yan has his eye on really looks like."
As he spoke, he approached Wen Wan and removed the mask from her face. At the same time, Wen Wan decisively launched a mental attack on Lin Fulong. Lin Fulong felt a sharp pain in his brain, and then it was as if he was in hell, surrounded by the zombies he had killed, which were gnawing at his flesh bit by bit. The pain made his scalp tingle.
In the eyes of others, Lin Fulong's hand remained motionless before it even reached Wen Wan.
"Boss?"
"Big brother, what's wrong?"
"System, can I make him stupid?"
"Of course you can. You can play with this little shrimp all you want." The system said indifferently, besides, this bastard had targeted its host time and time again, so it wasn't a good person either.
“But before he goes crazy, I have to let him know some amazing things.” So Wen Wan withdrew her attack. Lin Fulong squatted on the ground, looking at the familiar scene around him. There were no zombies.
"Boss, are you alright? Let's go find a doctor to check you out."
The speaker was a middle-aged man, burly in appearance, who was Lin Fulong's second-in-command.
Wen Wan smiled at the man, then sent a burst of spiritual energy toward him, causing the man to pause for a moment.
"That bastard Lin Fulong is impotent, yet he has so many women. I've suffered and endured so much with him, and I haven't gained anything. I slept with one of his women, and she got pregnant. She's mine! I'm going to make Lin Fulong raise my son! Hahahaha..."
Lin Fulong: "???!!!"
Others: "!!!"
Then came the second one: "Lin Fulong is ruthless and will be finished sooner or later. I stole the key to his safe, and I have to find a way to kill him."
The third one: "Xiao Hua is so sweet, and she's so sexy in bed. It's such a good deal for that bastard Lin Fulong."
"..."
Wen Wan never expected that all of these men had slept with Lin Fulong's women, and even drugged Lin Fulong to pretend to be capable, when in reality they were all his subordinates.
They all had the idea of replacing him.
It was a complete mess, so chaotic. Wen Wan said she had never seen anything like it before.
Wen Wan withdrew her mental power, and Lin Fulong immediately activated his superpower to attack his most trusted second-in-command. Soon, a fight broke out between the parties, and Lin Fulong was the one who was being attacked by everyone. Even though his superpower was higher than his subordinates, he couldn't overcome the sheer number of people! It turned out that the fight was evenly matched.
Finally, Wen Wan added fuel to the fire by launching a mental attack on Lin Fulong. Caught off guard, Lin Fulong was injured. While the others were determined to eliminate any future troubles, the commotion finally alerted the guards outside. The guards rushed in, creating chaos. Wen Wan crawled to a corner and squatted down to watch the show.
However, the show didn't last long before Gu Yan arrived, followed by Wu Yong.
Wu Yong quickly had his men pull the crowd away. Lin Fulong was lying on the ground, barely alive. Wu Yong took them all away. Along the way, Lin Fulong's men saw what was happening and were all shocked. Wu Yong then explained the situation. After they had swum enough, he took them to find a doctor.
Gu Yan walked over to Wen Wan in the corner and untied the ropes binding her. "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing. Who knows why they suddenly started fighting? Let me tell you, Lin Fulong is impotent."
Gu Yan: "???"
How did you know?
“I just used a little trick, and all his men told me. They also said that his son is not his own, and that he is drugged every day. He thinks he is very capable, but he is actually not capable at all.”
Gu Yan: "..."
Gu Yan looked at Wen Wan with a complicated expression, "You shouldn't use this ability casually. You'll feel weak every time you use it."
Are you worried that I'll read your mind?
Wen Wan stood up, dusted herself off, and said, "Don't worry, I can't read your mind."
"Why?"
"Who knows? Maybe you're too guarded, or maybe you're just too good. Anyway, don't worry, you're still innocent."
Gu Yan: "..."
Wen Wan followed Gu Yan back, and bumped into Gu Qingqing on the way. Gu Qingqing walked over and said, "Brother."
Gu Yan's expression remained unchanged. Gu Qingqing looked somewhat distressed, but still pretended to be strong as she looked at Wen Wan, "Sister Wen Wan, are you alright? I heard you were kidnapped by Lin Fulong. That Lin Fulong is no good. You didn't suffer any losses, did you?"
Wen Yan: "..."
"It seems your information is a bit outdated. The one in trouble right now isn't me; it must be someone else."
"Oh? That's great! I was so worried. Sister Wen Wan, I never expected you to be with my brother. From now on, you'll be my sister-in-law. Sister Wen Wan, Brother Chen and a few other brothers want to meet you. They want to express their gratitude to you. Do you want to go and meet them?"
Wen Wan looked at Gu Qingqing. She should know that Gu Qingqing must be with Chen Gong again. Bai Tian really couldn't guard against it at all. Chen Gong is also an ultimate love-obsessed person.
"I'll go after I change my clothes."
Gu Yan: "I'll go with you."
"Don't you have anything to do? Lin Fulong has fallen from power this time, you must have a lot of things to do, right?"
Gu Yan: "Wu Yong will handle it."
Wen Yan: "..."
Isn't Wu Yong just a pitiful, wronged working-class man?
Finally, Wen Wan and Gu Yan went to meet Chen Gong and his group. Gu Qingqing wanted to talk to Gu Yan the whole way, but Gu Yan didn't seem to care at all. Gu Qingqing could only try to make conversation with Wen Wan.
They finally arrived at the dormitory where Chen Gong and the others were staying. Upon seeing Gu Yan, they all became very reserved, saying, "Captain Gu."
Gu Yan nodded and then fell silent.
Wen Wan looked at Chen Gong and the others, "Aren't you leaving? I thought you would leave the safe zone once you recovered from your injuries."
Chen Gong looked at Wen Wan and asked, "Wen Wan, are you coming with us?"
Wen Yan: "???"
“If you leave, we’ll go with you; if you stay in the safe zone, we brothers will stay in the safe zone too.”
"ah?"
“Although I, Chen Gong, am no hero, I know how to repay kindness. You saved the lives of us brothers, so we are willing to follow you and obey your orders.”
Wen Wan shook her head, "No need, I—"
"Don't refuse, from now on you're our boss. Bai Tian Guan Qi, call for reinforcements."
"Boss."
"Boss."
"..."
Wen Wan was dumbfounded. She couldn't accept them! Wen Wan looked to Gu Yan for help. Gu Yan said, "Just accept them. After all, if you don't let them repay your kindness, they will feel uneasy for the rest of their lives."
Wen Wan: "???" You, the male lead, don't solve your own problems, you create them instead.
"Wen Wan will be staying in the safe zone for the time being. Go find Wu Yong, and he will assign you tasks."
Chen Gong and the others looked at Wen Wan, who was numb.
"Alright, then you can stay here for now."
And so the matter was settled. Wen Wan inexplicably gained several more subordinates. Bai Tian quickly brought over a sumptuous meal. "This safe zone truly lives up to its name. You can eat as much fresh vegetable as you want, and there's chicken and pork. As long as you have crystal cores, you can exchange them. If you don't have crystal cores, you can exchange them with your labor. Captain Gu, I truly admire you."
Gu Yan: "These are not my achievements, but Chu Mingyue's."
"Chu Mingyue?"
Guan Qi: "I know, I've heard that food used to be scarce in the safe zone. Most of the land was polluted wasteland. Later, Chu Mingyao's sister came. She developed a method to purify the wasteland and planted a lot of vegetables and raised a lot of chickens in the safe zone. She wrote a lot of breeding techniques so that everyone could have enough to eat and drink."
Bai Tian: "Wow, she's practically a Bodhisattva! Where is she?"
Guan Qi sighed, "He passed away. It's such a pity."
Bai Tian also felt it was a pity. This kind of genius saved millions of people, but he couldn't save himself. God was really unfair.
Wen Wan, who was listening in: "..."
How did things get so complicated that the conversation turned to her other identity as someone who had faked her death?
If you hadn't heard it, it would have been fine, but hearing it was truly humiliating. All she did was grow some vegetables and raise some chickens, how did she become a savior?
"Let's eat."
Gu Yan ended the conversation, and Gu Qingqing, who was standing to the side, looked at Gu Yan and actually smiled.
She's been here for half a month and hasn't seen Gu Yan much, so they haven't been able to talk. But Gu Yan has always been this cold and unapproachable, like a monster that no one would like.
But now that she has seen an exception, she feels even more resentful and jealous of Wen Wan.
An ugly woman who doesn't even dare to show her face, yet everyone likes her. She is Chen Gong's girlfriend and Gu Yan's younger sister.
