Brother Biao was furious and slammed his hand on the table.
The lackey was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and his legs trembled.
"Brother Biao, you..."
"Go down and give the orders: the plan will proceed as scheduled."
With the arrow already on the bowstring, there was no choice but to release it; Brother Biao had no choice but to go down this path to the bitter end.
"Yes, Brother Biao." The lackey scurried out of Brother Biao's office.
The door closed gently, and Brother Biao turned around, gazing at the hazy night, lost in thought.
...
The sky was just beginning to brighten, and the morning air still carried the chill of frost and dew.
"Da da da..."
The sound of synchronized footsteps startled Min Qiu, the strongest warrior in the apocalypse.
"What's wrong?" Wang Yan suddenly stood up and looked out the window.
"Knock knock knock..." The urgent calls to help could be heard incessantly.
After a while, the door was opened, and Tang Tang rushed in looking anxious.
"Sister Qiu, Brother Yan, Lin Biao has made his move," Tang Tang said breathlessly.
Min Qiu leaned against the headboard, her expression unreadable, neither angry nor hateful. Only her obsidian eyes, sculpted by time, shimmered with a viscous blackness.
"Sister Qiu." Tang Tang didn't dare to meet Min Qiu's eyes.
"Tang Tang, when Lin Biao and I clash, use the Concealment Talisman to slip away with the children," Min Qiu said firmly.
Tang Tang hesitated, unwilling to abandon Min Qiu and run away. How could a grown man always stay behind a woman and be protected by her?
"Sister Qiu, my wood-type ability is level nine, I can..."
Min Qiu's eyes were calm and still, her silence revealing a chilling pain.
Tang Tang opened her mouth, then lowered her head and obediently followed Min Qiu's instructions.
“Tang Tang, you are outstanding, so there’s no need to be ashamed,” Min Qiu said.
Min Qiu, Tang Tang's husband, was well aware of her thoughts. She hadn't spoken of them before because there was always a future. Now, revealing them was simply a precaution.
“Yes, Tangtang, our family can’t do without you. Without you, who knows what kind of trouble those kids would cause. Xiaoqiu entrusted the children to you because she trusts you, trusts that you can take care of and protect the children,” Wang Yan added.
"Thank you, Brother Yan."
With the help of Min Qiu and Wang Yan, Tang Tang led the children to hide and waited for Min Qiu to create a good opportunity to escape.
As they walked towards the main gate, Min Qiu and Wang Yan walked side by side. The handsome man and beautiful woman, bathed in sunlight, looked like a match made in heaven.
"Ayan, are you scared?" Min Qiu asked.
“I’m afraid.” Wang Yan smiled. “I’m afraid of dying, afraid of never seeing my child again, never seeing Tang Tang again, never feeling the warmth of the person I love most, never hearing the laughter of my family again. So, Min Qiu, I won’t die, you won’t die, none of us will die. Our family will live happily as before.”
Wang Yan held Min Qiu's hand, and his large, thick palm made Min Qiu feel at ease.
"Okay." Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back.
Fallen leaves filled the courtyard, and the bleak autumn had arrived unnoticed.
Outside the iron gate, Brother Biao led a group of fierce-looking superhumans, who were eyeing them menacingly.
Min Qiu and Wang Yan came into view. Base Chief Biao frowned deeply, and even the fierce-looking superhuman looked worried.
That was the strongest being in the apocalypse, a high-level Yellow-rank, ninth-stage Five Elements Ability User. Although they outnumbered each other, just as ants can kill an elephant, an elephant stomping its foot could crush countless ants.
"Brother Biao, do you really want to be my enemy?"
“Min Qiu, it’s not that I’m your enemy, but you’re too terrifying, too cold-hearted, so cold and hard that if I don’t kill you, I can’t eat, I’ll be plagued by nightmares, and I won’t be able to sleep at night.”
Killing the chicken to scare the monkey is just as likely as forcing the dog to jump over the wall or the rabbit to bite someone.
"Since that's the case, who lives and who dies today is up to fate."
Fifteen people, both men and women, stood behind Min Qiu. They were calm and composed, and their presence was intimidating.
"Kill them all, leave no one alive."
If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze.
Brother Biao waved his hand, and the superhumans shouted and rushed forward.
"Boom boom boom..." The collision and impact of the multicolored supernatural powers created gusts of wind, destroying everything around them with overwhelming force.
"Better late than early, Kongmin, we've caught a great show."
Ji Xiaoxiao and Liao Kongmin hovered in mid-air, their figures obscured by orange clouds, shrouded in mist, appearing like immortals and gods.
"Happy? Gleeful? You little rascal." Liao Kongmin tapped Ji Xiaoxiao's nose.
Ji Xiaoxiao snorted unhappily and focused intently on the raging battle below.
Severed limbs and mangled flesh were scattered everywhere, creating a gruesome scene.
With a stern face, Min Qiu walked slowly toward Brother Biao, killing one person with each step.
"Min Qiu, stop!" Brother Biao shouted. "Don't you know who they are?"
