“Don’t be willful,” Wang Jiang said, rejecting Wang Kangting’s request without a thought. If it were any other time, he would have promised her anything. However, they were in the apocalypse and had to leave immediately.
Perhaps aware that his tone was too harsh, Wang Jiang had no choice but to soften his words. “Good girl Tingting, this isn’t the time to do such a thing. We need to get to a safe place as soon as possible. As for that kid, Daddy will find him for you in a few days.”
Wang Kangting initially felt wronged when Wang Jiang had roared at her, but she became relieved upon hearing his explanation. ‘It’s important to leave this place right now. As for that stinking brat…’ Ferocity flashed in Wang Kangting’s eyes as she swore that the youth would receive neither mercy nor death when they met again, no matter how much he begged.
Wang Jiang was grateful that his daughter was being obedient, and they quickly headed to Z-City.
The father and daughter duo that departed did not notice a youth walking out from under a nearby banyan tree. The youth’s bloodshot eyes were filled with fervent killing intent.
‘Wang Jiang ah, Wang Jiang,’ Qin Yi thought, wishing she could hack the man into pieces. ‘As expected, like father, like daughter. Both of you are shameless.’
Aside from the Qin family and Doctor Lin, Wang Jiang was one of the people she hated the most, for he had a perverse hobby of tyrannically playing with underage girls. Due to malnutrition in her previous life, Qin Yi stood merely 1.6 meters tall and looked thin and weak, resembling a junior high student. Wang Jiang was a lackey belonging to an influential figure in Z-city’s base, and he immediately wanted her when he saw her.
Once, after a mission where she was severely injured, he took the opportunity to hire people to knock her out. She found herself being kidnapped and then tied to a bed after waking up, thrust into a situation where he was ready to perform all sorts of indecent acts on her. If not for the breakthrough of her abilities at that crucial moment, she would have been sullied by him.
Even so, she would never forget that warped and disgusting face or the pair of hands that wandered over her entire body. She had considered getting revenge but was advised by Qin Jiaojiao, after confiding in her, to endure for Qin Mian. At that time, Qin Mian was at a pivotal point in a power struggle. She gave up on her revenge in order to prevent any external influence on the Qin Family.
Ultimately, rumors of her seducing Wang Jiang leaked out. All of her father’s comrades-in-arms looked at her with disgust and berated her for being so shameless. This was all most likely the act of her beautiful younger sister, who had spread the rumors and tarnished her reputation.
The wild rage in the eyes of the youth behind the tree disappeared without a trace, as though it was never there, to begin with.
She was unable to do anything to him at the present. The Wang family had ties with the triads for many generations, and she believed that the large truck following Wang Jiang’s car held not only food, but guns and ammunition as well. Additionally, she was able to sense multiple trained bodyguards in their entourage. Although she had abilities, she only had a 30% chance of winning against them and a 10% chance of killing all of them without the certainty of getting out unharmed.
Qin Yi clenched her fists and turned to leave. ‘The future is long.’
The formerly bustling shopping center was desolate, with only the occasional zombie popping up in search of a human scent. Not a single soul was out on the street, and Qin Yi knew that the majority of the humans were hiding at home, waiting for the country to save them.
However, they would not be able to wait that long, having experienced this in her past life. The government officials were the first to run when the apocalypse came. They only recruited manpower and consolidated their strength after they had settled themselves, sending troops out to gather supplies while also aiding survivors only much later.
The initial period was the most stable, with high food supplies and weak zombies.
Qin Yi used her ability to transform her scent, stealthily walking along the walls. She remembered that there was an automobile shop nearby and immediately entered upon locating it.
