First Volume_Chapter 50 Black-bellied x Arrogant (14)

In the dream, after being 'bullied' all night, outside the sky was still not bright; Jiang Zhi woke up with a red face, suddenly sat up, raised her hand to cover her chest, her breathing heaving violently.

The corners of her eyes still retained a thick, alluring redness; tear drops fell pitifully, the abnormal numb sensation all over her body had not faded, she gasped for a moment, then comfortably stretched.

If the previous one was a nightmare, then last night was completely a beautiful dream.

"Xie Wuchen, this pervert, has never been this gentle to me before."

This favorability of over 70 is truly not exaggerated.

777 cannot enter dreams, but this night, knowing the Host's situation, it, as a pure innocent child, did not want to discuss these things with her, and gave a perfunctory 'oh oh' reply.

How could Jiang Zhi let it go so easily? With 'vulgar language': "What else about his ability do I not know? Entering dreams and being shy is allowed; this should count as a divine union, right?"

If 777 had a physical form, it would surely have blushed into a ball, pretending not to understand: "There's also devouring."

The ability to devour humans, made one's own.

Very overbearing and strong to the point of being perverted.

This is also the biggest reason why the male protagonist cannot contend with him.

Jiang Zhi let out an 'oh', threw off the blanket, and walked out of the room.

Xie Wuchen happened to open the door at the same time as her; upon seeing her, his dark eyes deepened, the corners of his mouth hinting at a smile: "Good morning, Zhizhi."

Jiang Zhi met his gaze, and the vague spring dream from last night suddenly appeared before her eyes; peach red crept up her cheeks, she averted her eyes, avoiding eye contact, her tone stiff: "Early… early what peace! Not happy at all this early morning!"

Xie Wuchen saw through her pretended exterior into her heart; her shy appearance looked adorable no matter how you looked at it.

No longer teasing her, after packing up their belongings, they left the house.

Outside, the sky was dim, gloomy with no trace of sunlight, giving the impression that rain was imminent.

Jiang Zhi recalled the only strange blood rain that had fallen after the apocalypse, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.

Beside her, Xie Wuchen's complexion was not good; as if he had foreseen something, he was unwilling to leave the eaves at all.

Just as Jiang Zhi was about to ask him what was wrong, snowflakes suddenly appeared in her peripheral vision.

Heavy goose-feather snow swept across the sky and fell to the ground, a vast white expanse, exuding waves of chill.

"Is it snowing?"

Since the apocalypse arrived, the weather has become increasingly hot, global temperatures have surged, making people suffer immensely.

But now, it is actually snowing; one can feel the outside temperature dropping sharply.

Not receiving a response from the person beside her, Jiang Zhi turned back and saw Xie Wuchen standing under the eaves, struggling to maintain his gentle mask.

She walked toward him, full of concern: "What's wrong with you?"

Xie Wuchen pressed his thin lips tightly; hearing her probing worried voice, his furrowed brows relaxed slightly, he avoided the falling snowflakes, stepped back, and explained: "I don't really… like snow."

"Who would have thought someone still dislikes snow?"

This inevitably reminded Jiang Zhi of the antagonist Huo Yin from the first world, who disliked snow due to bad childhood memories.

"But why does Xie Wuchen dislike snow?"

Jiang Zhi ignored the strange sense of familiarity in her heart, her gaze falling on the car under the nearby shelter, and she said to him: "Let's go to the car first."

She thought the man would refuse, but Xie Wuchen hesitated for a few seconds and then agreed.

"Okay."

They got into the car; the windshield wipers began to work, sweeping away the snow that blurred the view.

The car drove through the alley onto the main road, heading into the heavy snow; Xie Wuchen, sitting in the driver's seat, had a face reflecting the snow's color, rather pallid, his eyes like deep night, bottomless, devoid of any warmth.

His usual gentleness was nowhere to be seen; only a coldness like the outside white snow remained.

This further convinced Jiang Zhi that he truly loathed white snow to the utmost.

"What on earth is the reason that makes him hate it so much?"

Jiang Zhi thought for a moment and asked aloud: "Xie Wuchen, why do you dislike snow?"

The atmosphere remained silent for a long time; when she thought he would not respond, Xie Wuchen pulled the car over to the side of the road, his tone slow, wrapped in an imperceptible chill.

"There's no reason; I simply don't like it."

After explaining to her, Xie Wuchen's gaze fell forward, on a few people not far ahead.

Jiang Zhi followed his gaze and saw a team of people surrounded by a horde of zombies.

It was none other than Luo Heng and his group, whom they had parted ways with several months ago.

The male protagonist's ability is lightning, with extremely strong destructive power; its area-of-effect can wipe out hundreds of zombies, but it consumes an enormous amount of mental energy.

Deafening thunderclaps rang in their ears; seeing the situation, Jiang Zhi unfastened her seatbelt, preparing to get out of the car to help them.

Xie Wuchen stopped her action, saying softly: "It's not just a zombie tide."

If it were merely an ordinary small wave of zombies, they would not be struggling so much to move.

Jiang Zhi heard this, looked carefully in that direction, and upon seeing what it was, her expression froze.

Two zombies stood behind the horde, directing it; they actually both possessed abilities—one was spatial restriction, the other was toxic attack.

The toxic liquid surrounded Luo Heng's team, forming a circle.

It forced them not to dare break out outward, while the zombies outside the toxic circle surged through it one by one to rush at them, orderly and clear, like a well-trained army.

All the zombies Jiang Zhi had encountered were mindless; she had never before encountered zombies with intelligence and abilities.

This is no different from humans, which is chilling.

"How could they be this smart?"

Xie Wuchen explained to her: "The previous blood rain enhanced the zombies' abilities."

Jiang Zhi was incredulous, at a loss for words.

Seeing the situation grow increasingly perilous, Jiang Zhi could not stay any longer; with a solemn expression she said: "I can deal with the two zombies behind that have abilities; you stay inside, don't come out."

Having said that, Jiang Zhi pushed open the car door, heedless of the flying heavy snow, and strode over.

Xie Wuchen's eyes darkened with a hint of gloom and viciousness as his gaze swept over Luo Heng's team, trapped in danger; his black eyes flared with killing intent, and his chest was overwhelmed by a fierce possessive desire for the girl.

Xie Wuchen was extremely jealous.

He was jealous that her gaze could take in others, jealous that she would act for others, and even unafraid of death.

Clearly, she is his plaything.

He should have killed Luo Heng's team earlier.

Jiang Zhi, who had stepped out of the car over there, hid in a corner, summoned a brick, and kneaded it into a sniper rifle.

She had discovered long ago that this brick could not only be shaped into a weapon, but its function and power were hardly different.

But forming it into a rifle consumes a great deal of mental energy; she can fire only five shots a day.

However, if she could kill these two ability-endowed zombies, Jiang Zhi believed she could fire ten shots a day thereafter.

Aiming at the head of a zombie commanding the release of abilities from behind the zombie horde, Jiang Zhi counted a few seconds in her mind and pressed the button.

The silent sniper bullet, at extreme speed, pierced the head of the ability-endowed zombie that was releasing toxin.

Less than five seconds.

The zombie collapsed.

Suddenly drawing the attention of the nearby ability-endowed zombie, it grew a little panicked and looked around.

Jiang Zhi put away the sniper rifle, switched to a longsword, and ran over with swift steps.

The ability-endowed zombie, which had been on guard, upon seeing her silhouette, directed some zombies to surround her.

Jiang Zhi cut down one little companion with each sword strike until she reached the ability-endowed zombie and severed its head.

The crisis was resolved.
