First Volume_Chapter 54: Black-bellied x Arrogant (18)

She had already spiked the wine; the drug wouldn't take effect that quickly, otherwise Xie Wuchen would have gotten suspicious.

When the physical pleasure ended, Xie Wuchen would pass out from the drug's effect—a special hypnotic that could keep him unconscious in bed for two days.

So Jiang Zhi had to tear apart their flimsy facade before he came looking for her.

Having been ruthlessly rejected by her, Song Xuefeng's face darkened, full of suppressed anger; he didn't linger and returned to his original seat.

As the only two women in the car, Wen Shuangshuang received a signal from Captain Luo and, under everyone's gaze, sat down beside Jiang Zhi.

"Have something to eat; the journey is long. If you don't eat on the road and run into danger, it'll be too late."

Compared to Song Xuefeng, Jiang Zhi's attitude toward Wen Shuangshuang was slightly better; she glanced at the food in Wen Shuangshuang's hand, didn't take it, and said, "I'm not hungry yet."

Wen Shuangshuang looked at her with an unfamiliar expression; she obviously hadn't expected Jiang Zhi's change to be so great.

That once willful and arrogant young lady, in less than half a year, saw her flamboyant temperament settle, becoming mature, steady, and neither arrogant nor impatient.

One could tell her ability had become very strong—something that only comes from killing many zombies.

Wen Shuangshuang was certain that, in this car, probably no one could defeat her.

Wen Shuangshuang respects the strong, regardless of whatever lame things she may have done in the past.

"Jiang Zhi, can you tell me how you've gotten through the past six months?"

Relying on her and Xie Wuchen, wanting to survive in this place where the weak are prey to the strong is extremely difficult.

Jiang Zhi frowned slightly, her tone unfriendly: "No."

Wen Shuangshuang realized she had overstepped, and awkwardly looked away.

"Sorry."

Song Xuefeng, who had been paying attention here, heard it, flew into a rage, and immediately wanted to raise his gun and point it at her.

"Ding!"

A bullet pierced the back seat, struck Song Xuefeng's gun directly, and a perfectly good handgun shattered instantly.

Jiang Zhi, the one who fired, slightly raised her eyebrows, aiming the barrel of her gun at Song Xuefeng's head.

"You can try."

The terrifying gap in power filled the car with an overwhelming aura; Song Xuefeng was crushed under her pressure, unable to catch his breath, his face deathly pale.

Luo Heng saw this, his voice cold and stern: "Song Xuefeng!! What are you doing?"

Song Xuefeng couldn't move a muscle, suppressed by the girl's overwhelming power; suddenly the pressure vanished, his chest heaved violently, fear gripping his heart and spreading through his body, and he trembled as he apologized: "Sorry."

He didn't even have the strength to argue.

Among ability users, the greater the difference in ability, the stronger the suppression.

After what just happened, Song Xuefeng clearly knew how great the gap was between him and Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi's brick gun vanished; she didn't even glance at them, turning her head to look out the car window.

Wen Shuangshuang, sitting beside her, was filled with shock.

Just now she hadn't even seen when Jiang Zhi summoned the brick or fired the bullet.

The speed was too fast.

The girl's summoning of the brick was already extremely practiced.

Previously, Song Xuefeng and Yu Xiaochun, who had looked down on Jiang Zhi, now avoided her like poison.

The sky gradually grew dim.

Driving at night would be very dangerous, so they entered a city, preparing to find a place to spend the night.

The car's linked distress signal suddenly sounded; nearby survivors were facing danger.

Luo Heng made a snap decision, having the driver Yu Xiaochun follow the signal's direction.

They arrived at an old-style market; the alley beside it was tangled like tree roots, winding and hard to walk.

The car stopped before an alley; they could only get out and walk to locate the distress site.

After just a few steps, they saw three people hiding behind an iron-net door, while over a dozen zombies wandered outside, five of them ability zombies.

They couldn't climb up for now, so they had to rely on their abilities to smash the iron-net door open.

Seeing the iron-net door about to be smashed open, Luo Heng directed them to deal with the assigned ability zombies each.

Wen Shuangshuang instinctively wanted to stay and protect Jiang Zhi, but quickly realized her current ability surpassed theirs, so she lifted her foot to leave.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught the expression of the girl standing behind them, and Wen Shuangshuang froze in place.

In the dim light, Jiang Zhi's face was ashen, her eyes full of fear, gazing toward the interior of the iron-net door.

It was as if she were seeing—a nightmare.

Wen Shuangshuang followed her gaze, looking at one of the three people inside the iron-net door.

The man wore gold-rimmed glasses, his tall figure standing in the shadow, his handsome face split and mottled by the iron-net's shadow.

"What's wrong with you?" Wen Shuangshuang unconsciously stepped closer, asking anxiously.

As she approached, she clearly saw the girl's body trembling uncontrollably.

"Why... are you so afraid?"

With the girl's ability, she shouldn't be afraid of that man.

"It's fine." Jiang Zhi's fingertips nearly dug into her palm, she barely regained some composure, barely shifting her gaze from the man's face, and a sharp long spear suddenly appeared in her hand.

Her eyes were filled with resolve.

Unafraid.

She no longer fears him now—so!

Now is the best chance for revenge.

Jiang Zhi strode forward, gripping the long spear, after disposing of the few bothersome ability zombies, she flipped her body into the iron-net door and walked step by step toward the man.

The eyeglasses man, who is also Bao Jiu of the Evil-doers Organization, seeing the approaching girl, froze for a moment, opened his mouth to ask something, but before he could speak, the girl's spear was already pressed against his throat.

The distance was less than an inch, and it would be easy to take his life.

Bao Jiu, seeing this, his pupils suddenly constricted, fear of death appeared in his eyes, cold sweat broke out all over his forehead, and he hoarsely said: "You… you don't kill me… I have no grudge against you…"

Jiang Zhi snorted, a scorching red glow appearing at the corner of her eyes, as if she wanted to burn him to ashes.

"Bao Jiu, you forgot me, but I will not forget you."

"I remember clearly every harm you did to me!"

Bao Jiu was completely bewildered, unable to understand her meaning at all, staring deeply at the girl's face, yet no matter how he tried he could not recall when he had offended her.

"I… I really… don't know you… please let me go…"

The eyeglasses man's look of unfamiliarity and bewilderment was completely genuine.

Suddenly, Bao Jiu seemed to recall something, muttering to himself: "I… I had a period of unconsciousness, and when I woke up I found that the people around me feared and dreaded me, treating me like the Evil God."

He abruptly lifted his head: "In the past two months, at the Evil-doers Organization, were you also there?"

These words ignited Jiang Zhi's anger, unable to suppress the hatred in her heart, she gripped the spear tightly and thrust it into the eyeglasses man's shoulder.

"You're making it up!! You're still making it up!!"

Bao Jiu, unable to bear the intense pain, collapsed to the ground screaming repeatedly, yet he persisted in his earlier words.

"I, I really don't know you… please let me go… I also don't know why I fell unconscious; I only remember that before I lost consciousness I locked eyes with a man trying to escape, his gaze, his gaze was very strange, and I unknowingly passed out."

Luo Heng and his team, at that moment having cleared away the zombies, rushed over and saw this scene.

The hatred on the girl's face seeped into her marrow, as if she wanted to tendons and skin the person on the ground, to cut him into countless pieces.
