"What’s Yang Tian’s big secret?"
Wang Hao couldn’t be bothered with these things, nor did he want to deal with Chen Lingxue anymore.
Knowing she listened to him and is safe now was enough.
They were so far apart that they probably wouldn’t et again in the future.
Let her be!
"Let start from the beginning."
Zhang Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh and reminisced:
"During the snowstorm, I was holed up in my rental, having stocked up on so food earlier, barely getting by.
After the snow stopped, I bought so food at a high price from the neighbor. The teorite fell, but it didn’t hit . Yet, after surviving the fog, there were zombies.
The city center was too dangerous. I ran out with a few others while the monsters were still sparse, and that’s when I encountered Yang Tian."
Wang Hao rolled his eyes.
Not interested in Zhang Xiaoxiao’s apocalyptic experiences nor keen to listen to them.
But with ti to spare, he figured he might as well listen.
One had to admit, this woman indeed was impressive.
A re woman, yet she managed to survive through those darkest days.
It wasn’t sothing that could be solved just with beauty.
Her adaptability was impressively quick.
She was a person with quick wits.
Additionally, her thods were quite sophisticated!
"You wanted to toy with Yang Tian like you did with others, but you didn’t expect him to play by his own rules, turning you into a slave, right?"
Wang Hao said with so amusent.
His mind, having been continuously enhanced, had beco much sharper.
Combining doomsday novels and Yang Tian’s sowhat twisted character, he had guessed pretty accurately.
"Sigh... In the face of absolute power, any scheming becos re illusions."
Zhang Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly, a bit of bitterness on her face:
"Yang Tian killed everyone and ran with . At that ti, he hadn’t yet awakened his superpower."
"Oh?"
Wang Hao’s eyes lit up.
Breaking out of the downtown area without having awakened a superpower?
That’s no ordinary feat!
Let alone dragging along soone like Zhang Xiaoxiao.
"He is not afraid of the zombie virus."
Sun Xiaoxiao threw another bombshell.
"What?"
Wang Hao’s face changed completely after hearing that.
Not afraid of the zombie virus?
The implications were entirely different!
If the people at the Settlent Camp found out, they would probably spare no expense to capture him.
"How do you know?"
Wang Hao’s first reaction was disbelief, looking at Zhang Xiaoxiao skeptically.
Would Yang Tian let her know such a big secret?
If he were in Yang Tian’s shoes, he wouldn’t tell anyone.
If discovered accidentally, he would silence them imdiately.
Unlike Yang Tian, who kept her by his side and even gave her to others.
Isn’t that courting death?
"Wang Hao! Can I trust you?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao looked up and made eye contact with Wang Hao.
"Do you have any other choice?"
Wang Hao shrugged.
Zhang Xiaoxiao’s face showed a faint bitter smile.
Indeed!
Did she have any other choice?
If Wang Hao kicked her out, her fate tonight would be extrely miserable.
"Yang Tian tortured and humiliated every day. I couldn’t take it anymore.
Once, when he was injured, I secretly sared zombie blood on his wound while dressing it.
I thought he would turn, but he was fine. Later, I tried again with a larger amount, still no reaction.
In the end, I resigned myself to fate!"
"This...."
Wang Hao frowned slightly.
Being immune to zombie venom was an incredible ability!
But it wasn’t clear if Yang Tian’s immunity was due to his physical constitution, his serpent transformation power, or so artifact he possessed.
Most importantly, it was unknown if this power could be taken and made his own.
Monsters road, and they carried viruses within them.
Accidentally getting infected would be disastrous.
This was a power Wang Hao longed for.
Moreover!
Yang Tian might not only be immune to zombie venom; he might be immune to other poisons too.
"Does he know about this?"
"He probably doesn’t, right?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao thought for a mont and shook her head:
"He’s very cautious and has never been injured by a monster."
"Hmm! This information is very valuable."
Wang Hao nodded and said calmly, "I can let you stay here, but taking you with is not possible."
Upon hearing the first part, Zhang Xiaoxiao breathed a long sigh of relief, but upon hearing the latter part, she beca anxious again.
Not taking her with him?
Ever since eting Wang Hao, she had wanted to leave with him.
After all, she knew Wang Hao had a villa stocked with supplies.
Besides, with Wang Hao’s abilities, being with him would be relatively safe.
Most importantly, she had spent quite a long ti with Wang Hao before, understanding his temperant fairly well.
At the very least, he wouldn’t maltreat her.
She really didn’t want to stay with Yang Tian any longer, living in constant fear, doing disgusting tasks for him, and facing his beatings and humiliation.
"I’m heading to a place, and the journey is dangerous. If you follow , you’ll die quickly."
Wang Hao looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao sowhat helplessly:
"Of course, if you insist on following, you can, but if you regret it later, I won’t bring you back."
Zhang Xiaoxiao: ...
Hearing Wang Hao say that, she indeed didn’t dare to go.
Staying here, although tough, at least ensured so level of safety and sustenance.
If she followed Wang Hao outside, he might deliberately cause her harm, and she’d die in an instant.
"Could... could you give sothing to eat?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao asked weakly.
Hungry!
She was very hungry now.
Food was still scarce.
Even as Yang Tian’s woman, she could barely get half full.
And it was mostly rice with salty pickles.
Without at, one gets hungry easily.
The leftovers from the previous al wouldn’t be given to them.
They would be reheated the next day, and they’d be gone soon after.
A Superpower User’s appetite is massive.
"That’s not a problem, Yueyue, go fetch her so canned at."
"Okay!"
Xiaoyueyue ran to the backpack, took out two cans of at, and handed them to Zhang Xiaoxiao.
Zhang Xiaoxiao didn’t bother with politeness, grabbed the tab, and pulled it open with all her might before she began devouring it.
She was no longer the girl who couldn’t even unscrew a bottle of mineral water.
Watching her gulp down food like soone who hadn’t eaten in ages, Wang Hao couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions.
The environnt can truly change a person dramatically.
Survival of the fittest!
If you can’t adapt, you’ll soon be eliminated.
However!
At this mont, a gleam flashed in Wang Hao’s eyes.
The weak adapt to the environnt.
The strong change the environnt.
He didn’t have power before, so he had to adapt and be just another cog in the machine.
But now that he has power, adaptation is unnecessary.
