Chapter 629: Argument

Next to the hotel's executive suite is the third suite.

Han Youzhen gazed somewhat silently at her companion who was applying makeup.

After Zhang Tie connected the power, she was first startled, then felt dazed.

How long has it been since I last saw a world lit up with lights?

The warm yellow light overhead softly bathed the entire room.

The breeze from the central air conditioning was so nostalgic.

Although the lit LCD TV had no channels, it could play stored movies on demand.

It felt as if they had returned to before the apocalypse.

Recalling the day's experience, she felt as if she were dreaming.

At the makeup table.

Li Enzhu, applying makeup before the mirror, chatted away with her female companions about something.

An eyebrow pencil, half a bottle of foundation, and a lipstick found on the dressing table.

Though the supplies were few, they in no way hindered her serious effort to groom herself.

There was still plenty of water in the tank.

After enjoying a hot shower, several girls became quite excited.

Since escaping from the academy, they had almost gone half a month without bathing.

Feeling the convenience brought by modern electricity, several people almost burst into tears of nostalgia.

Smelling the pleasant body wash, several girls could not help but start playfully teasing each other.

All the zombies in the entire hotel were instantly slaughtered the moment Lin An entered.

Not worrying at all about safety, after these days of anxiety, they were now completely relaxed.

"You guys say, just what level of Awakened One is that great person?"

"He's really strong."

After spreading the foundation, Li Enzhu picked up the powder compact and carefully covered the blemishes on her face, unable to resist asking her companion.

"At least Second Level—I feel like maybe it's Third Level?"

Among the only three Awakened Ones, the girl who had changed into a bathrobe had a flickering gaze and replied uncertainly.

They lacked experience interacting with other Awakened Ones, or rather with powerful Awakened Ones.

Given the huge gap in strength, they could not possibly judge Lin An's power.

Apart from describing him as terrifying, they could think of no other word.

"It probably isn't Third Level, right?"

"Although I think... even if our war zone's strongest Awakened One, they still can't compare to this great person..."

"Second Level peak! It must be the strongest of Second Level!"

Her tone was certain.

After applying foundation, Li Enzhu looked satisfied at her reflection in the mirror, carefully twisting open the lipstick as she applied it while speaking.

Third Level seems unlikely, after all the system has never announced the appearance of a Third Level Awakened One.

But, according to information leaked from the war zone channel.

Lin An's displayed combat power is indeed a bit exaggerated.

However.

Who cares.

The stronger the better; even if it's not Third Level, it's still the strongest Awakened One I've ever encountered.

After witnessing Lin An's move, she had long since made up her mind to cling tightly to his thigh.

No matter what, she couldn't let him "run away".

Watching Li Enzhu carefully drawing her eyebrows for herself, the girl in the bathrobe couldn't help but praise her a bit, then hesitantly asked:

"Enzhu, are you looking for that great person?"

While speaking, she caught sight out of the corner of her eye of the clothes Li Enzhu had prepared for her.

A suit skirt and a pair of silk stockings with high heels, pulled from who knows where.

Probably taken from the hotel staff rooms.

As a high-end hotel, the uniform design here is not bad.

Relying on only a few garments, Li Enzhu managed to put together an outfit that looked quite tempting.

After tidying her hair, Li Enzhu slightly lifted her head and looked at the girl who had asked the question.

"That's right."

"I've thought about it."

"Xiuyan, have you ever thought...?"

"With this great person's strength, upon entering the Twin Star Safety Point, they will surely be honored as a guest of honor by the big shots there."

"Then, whoever follows him will rise in a single step."

"My chance is only tonight!"

Breathing quick, she made up her mind.

"Being able to meet him is simply the greatest fortune!"

Without hiding her thoughts, Li Enzhu picked up the prepared clothes, slowly slipped off her bathrobe, revealing her snow-white skin.

Under the light, beneath her pert breasts lay a slender waist that could be encircled with one's hands.

She had an excellent figure and a pure, sweet appearance.

Li Enzhu still had some confidence in her appearance.

In the academy, there were many boys who pursued her.

Upon hearing this, a girl named Xiuyan instinctively glanced at herself in the mirror.

To be honest, she... or rather, all the girls present had this thought.

Just that.

"That lord seems hard to deal with..."

Biting her lip, Xiuyan blurted out, unable to stop recalling Li Enzhu's performance earlier that day.

No matter what she did or hinted at.

That mysterious person seemed to not care about these things at all.

The apocalypse broke out too quickly.

Before the apocalypse, they were merely students at a prestigious academy, lacking any experience.

Watching Li Enzhu being rejected time and again, several of them felt some hesitation.

Especially, Lin An's performance was terrifying.

When facing an opponent whose strength is overwhelming—so much that a single thought could take one's life—people cannot help but feel fear.

"I know."

Li Enzhu paid no heed to her companions' hesitation, merely gave a self‑mocking smile, then stared blankly at her reflection in the mirror.

"So what?"

"If I don't give it a try, I'll miss the last chance and surely regret it!"

As she spoke, her slender fingers unconsciously traced her cheek.

After careful grooming, she indeed looked very beautiful.

"Men, aren't they all driven by a desire to conquer?"

"I don't believe it—I've done all this, yet he truly has no thought at all."

She had made all the preparations, regardless of the outcome.

"Isn't it just seduction?"

As long as she dared to go all out, she refused to believe she couldn't move him.

Outside the makeup room, Han Youzhen heard the voices inside, hesitated a moment, then couldn't help but stride in.

"Li Enzhu!"

"Why!? Why must you do this!!"

"Can't we rely on ourselves!?"

"I admit that person is strong, but what can we do?"

"Without saying whether he'll be like before, even if he takes you, what guarantee do you have that he'll take responsibility for you!!"

"Don't be foolish!"

As if recalling a cruel memory, Han Youzhen's expression grew somewhat agitated.

"If fate isn't in our own hands and we merely rely on others, what kind of ending do you think awaits us?"

"Have you forgotten those girls? Have you forgotten the girls who thought they were compromising, offering themselves up like objects?"

"After being toyed with, they were sacrificed as cheap playthings—what other fate could they have!!"

Even if they had previously been in a relatively safe academy, even if these things had never happened to them.

But the scenes that unfolded these days have left her with an indelible shadow.

With her back to Han Youzhen, Li Enzhu lowered her head and silently tidied the hem of her skirt.

In the mirror, she carefully adjusted her stockings, appearing somewhat alluring and charming.

"Outcome?"

Amid the sudden argument, the girls in the makeup room looked at their captain, at a loss and too afraid to speak.

After a moment.

Li Enzhu slowly lifted her head.

Her gaze calm as she looked in the mirror, she gave a soft laugh to Han Youzhen standing behind her.

"You."

"You think I'm lowly."

"Right?"
