Chapter 38: The Wrath of the War King

Page 1/3

They had spent the entire morning fighting off countless zombies, including many Level 1 ones, but unfortunately, they had yet to encounter a Level 2 zombie. Gong Wanru took some time to absorb all the crystal cores she had gathered, significantly enhancing her strength. This gave her greater confidence to face Wang Nu when the time came.

Ye Nan said, “It’s about time. Let’s wait for Wang Nu at the trading ground. After we take him down, we’ll go to his hideout and seize all his supplies. That’ll be quite a fortune.”

Gong Wanru responded, “You just watch from the sidelines. Don’t intervene unless absolutely necessary. I prefer to handle things myself.”

“Don’t worry, I understand,” Ye Nan smiled. “You have a strong resolve, just like the steadfast spirit described in fantasy novels.”

Gong Wanru proudly said, “Of course. My parents passed away early, so I had to rely on myself. Back in college, I already started my own business with school-approved startup funds. It took years of hard work to build the company into what it is now. I became the richest woman in Donghai City.”

Ye Nan gave her a thumbs-up and sincerely complimented, “A woman like you has an inexplicable charm that draws men in.”

Gong Wanru sighed softly, a hint of loneliness in her voice. “It’s a pity this zombie crisis has upended all my plans. Everything I worked for is gone. Under the claws of zombies, it doesn’t matter if you’re a wealthy tycoon — they’ll catch you all the same.”

“Compared to others, you’re already lucky. In peaceful times, you were a wealthy icon living in a mansion and driving luxury cars. Now in the apocalypse, you’re a superpowered individual — still on top. So don’t lament too much. Countless people can’t even eat and are barely surviving in some corner,” Ye Nan said thoughtfully.

Hearing this, Gong Wanru smiled gently. “You’re right. Not only that, I have a safe house and endless food supplies. Most importantly, I have you by my side. Before meeting you, I was so focused on work that I never had time for love — otherwise, I wouldn’t have given you a chance.”

Ye Nan chuckled, “Then I’m quite fortunate.”

Gong Wanru teased, “Having the number one beauty of Donghai City like me, you truly are lucky.”

The two arrived at the trading ground. Compared to yesterday, there were more vendors today, yet the volume of transactions was low. Food had become scarce, and everyone knew this disaster wouldn’t end soon, so its value was clear.

Wang Nu had sent some underlings to oversee the trades; every deal required a 30% cut turned over to him. Though nobody liked it, they had no choice. Wang Nu was a superpowered being; yesterday, with a mere flick, he froze a living man solid as an ice sculpture — a terrifying sight that silenced all complaints. After all, life was precious, and no one wanted to die.

The moment Gong Wanru approached, the underlings were stunned. Her devilish curves were breathtaking, especially her ample chest, so full that no ordinary hand could grasp it — a true weapon of allure.

Compared to younger women, Gong Wanru carried a mature charm, like a ripe pomegranate, enchanting and captivating. The underlings couldn’t take their eyes off her, longing to dominate this noble beauty.

“Damn, this woman’s got some serious appeal. I’d gladly lose ten years of my life just to taste her,” one underling said, eyes shining with desire, wishing he had X-ray vision to see her fully.

Another said, “Honestly, I’ve been with many women, but someone this stunning and perfectly shaped? First time ever. Since it’s the end of the world and no one’s watching, why don’t we take her right here and now?”

“Yeah, let’s have our fun first. If the boss sees, we’re out of luck.”

“True that. The boss has a strong possessive streak. He’ll want to keep a goddess like her for himself. No chance for us.”

“Let’s get her.”

The underlings approached, one saying, “Pretty lady, come have some fun with us.”

“Get lost!” Gong Wanru snapped angrily.

“Oh, a feisty one! I like it. The more you resist, the more excited I get! Hahaha.”

“Yeah, we’re all in great shape too. Way better than your little pretty boy. We’ll leave you begging for more.”

“Come on, it’s the apocalypse. A woman like you won’t survive alone. Stick with us, and you’ll have the best food and drink every day.”

“Don’t be shy, beautiful. We’re experienced, and every woman we’ve tried says it’s great.”

They teased her, unaware that Gong Wanru was a superpowered individual. If they knew, they wouldn’t dare provoke her and would run as far as possible.

Nearby, other survivors watching exchanged worried glances, silently lamenting. Such a top-tier beauty shouldn’t be wandering around recklessly, inviting trouble from thugs like these. In peaceful times, beauty and figure were advantages, but now they only brought trouble unless you were exceptionally strong or had powerful protectors. Otherwise, the end was grim.

Gong Wanru’s voice turned cold: “I’ll say it again — leave now, or face the consequences.”

“I like your spirit,” one underling suddenly realized, exclaiming, “My God, are you the famous number one beauty of Donghai City, Gong Wanru?”

“That’s it! It has to be her. Who else could have such beauty?”

“Yep, I saw her once on TV and never forgot.”

“We’re really lucky to get to play with such a prize. Hahaha.”

“The number one beauty of Donghai City, so high and mighty. In peaceful times, she wouldn’t even glance at us. But now it’s the apocalypse — let’s see how proud she stays.”

“Come on, babe, smile for us.” One underling reached out to touch her face but suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Everyone watched in horror as a flaming blade pierced the underling’s heart, blood gushing out. He collapsed, lifeless.

The crowd was stunned.

Gong Wanru remained cold and stern, asking, “Were you the ones planning to attack me?”

The freezing aura she radiated sent chills down their spines. They all realized this stunning beauty was, like their leader, a superpowered being with extraordinary abilities.

One underling, frozen with fear, knelt before Gong Wanru, begging, “Please spare me, beautiful lady. I didn’t mean it. Have mercy.”

Others quickly followed, trembling with terror, desperate to avoid her wrath.

“Please, beautiful lady, spare us. We won’t dare again.”

“Our boss is Wang Nu, also a superpowered. For his sake, please spare us.”

Gong Wanru sneered, “You only start begging now? Isn’t it too late?”

The underlings gasped, truly feeling the murderous intent she exuded — she meant to kill them.

Without hesitation, Gong Wanru swung her flaming blade, instantly killing another underling in a brutal strike.

One said, “Brothers, we’re all dead anyway. Let’s fight — maybe someone survives.”

“Yeah, the boss is on his way. If we hold out until he arrives, he’ll protect us.”

“Let’s do it!”

They charged at Gong Wanru.

Suddenly, the one who called for fighting turned and fled at lightning speed, faster than a rabbit.

“Damn it, Wang Ergou, you just played us!”

“Shameless!”

“Let’s run too!”

Gong Wanru said coldly, “Trying to escape? Think you can get away?”

With a flash, she surged forward. As a superpowered being, her physique far surpassed ordinary men. She caught up with Wang Ergou and cut him down with one stroke.

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me...ah!” Wang Ergou barely got away before she ended him.

“Let’s scatter and run. Whether we escape is up to fate,” one said.

They scattered, but underestimated Gong Wanru’s power. Flames flickered beneath her feet, boosting her speed. She overtook the fastest, raising her blade to strike. Without surprise, she killed him too.

No matter how skilled ordinary men were, they couldn’t compare to a superpowered being. Escaping Gong Wanru was impossible.

In moments, every underling lay dead. Gong Wanru showed no mercy; these men had surely committed many crimes and stained their hands with blood. Now, she sent them to meet the King of Hell.

Witnessing this, the crowd was shocked. Who would have thought this cold beauty was so powerful? With her around, Wang Nu wouldn’t dare act recklessly.

Among the crowd was the bespectacled man. He hadn’t managed to bring Su Tao along and felt uneasy. Knowing Wang Nu’s temperament, he wouldn’t let him off so easily.

He had thought about running, but what good was it? Outside were zombies; hiding inside was futile. Wang Nu’s power could break down any door instantly.

Just as despair threatened to engulf him, seeing Gong Wanru’s strength rekindled hope. Since she had killed Wang Nu’s underlings, a confrontation was inevitable. If Gong Wanru defeated Wang Nu, all would be well.

He exhaled in relief.

Gong Wanru stood quietly, waiting for Wang Nu.

Soon enough, Wang Nu arrived.

“You killed my men?” Wang Nu scanned the area, spotting the bloody bodies and fury rising in his chest.

Gong Wanru said coldly, “Yes. They deserved to die.”

Wang Nu growled, “Daring to harm my people? You don’t take me seriously.”

“What do you want?” Gong Wanru met his gaze without flinching.

“Simple. Be my woman. Let me have my way with you once, and I’ll spare you. Otherwise, you’ll regret it,” Wang Nu said, admiring her beauty. No wonder she was Donghai City’s number one beauty.

Today, Gong Wanru wore a tight leather suit that hugged her perfect figure, highlighting her devilish curves, as if the suit might burst open. The sight was visually stunning.

Wang Nu had been with many women but none on her level, especially since she was superpowered. He wanted to tame her, yet she was too cold and difficult.

Gong Wanru replied, “You must be dreaming if you think I’ll be your woman.”

Wang Nu said, “If you won’t cooperate, then we settle this with a fight. Let’s see who’s stronger.”

“Gladly,” Gong Wanru said, raising her flaming blade, pointing it at Wang Nu’s forehead.

“Since you won’t listen, I’ll make you submit,” Wang Nu said, activating his ice powers. Frost formed over his body as he warned, “You can still regret this before it starts. I won’t show mercy.”

“Enough talk. Let’s begin.” Gong Wanru raised her flaming blade.

Wang Nu condensed chunks of ice, hurling them at her with incredible speed.

Gong Wanru was faster. As the ice flew toward her, she struck with the flaming blade, shattering each shard to the ground.

“Tit for tat! Take this!” she said, launching an offensive. The blade blazed fiercely, so hot that even a touch would ignite flesh.

Wang Nu summoned a wall of ice to briefly block her attack and retreated to create distance.

Gong Wanru excelled in close combat, where her true strength and techniques came into play. Wang Nu’s attacks were mostly ranged; close quarters would be disadvantageous for him.

Once he put distance between them, Wang Nu summoned a larger, denser barrage of ice shards, more powerful than before, descending like a heavy rain toward her.

Gong Wanru stood her ground, wielding her flaming blade continuously, blocking every attack with steady precision.
