Chapter 188 - 188: Ill Intentions
“What’s the meaning of this?” Lu Yunxiang quickly walked over. “You’re attacking the people from our shelter as soon as you arrive?”
Mr. Duan also turned into a peacemaker as he said, “Yes, I hope everyone can exist harmoniously here. Superpowers exist so that we can better deal with zombies and the mutated plants and animals, not…”
Shi Shaochen laughed and said, “I didn’t make the first move. It’s just that your shelter is in so much chaos. That you can start fights in broad daylight. I helped you because I just can’t stand it anymore.”
“This is what you get when a woman is in charge. If a man is in charge, you’d never lose control.”
Lu Yunxiang’s expression changed slightly, but she smiled back. Her charming expression was like a rose with thorns. “Yes, you men are amazing. I hope a woman’s charm won’t seduce you one day.”
She looked meaningfully at Ying Chengya beside him. The young girl was like a delicate flower in spring that had been carefully watered. She was wearing a white dress as she traveled in the apocalypse. It was obvious how much they doted on her!
Ying Chengya furrowed her willowy brows. She had originally wanted to make Lu Yunxiang her subordinate, but after hearing her saying that, she instantly lost interest.
Thinking of what would happen to this woman, she suddenly smiled. “Before Shaochen does anything, you should pay more attention to your own safety first, Ms. Lu.”
“What do you mean?” When Lu Yunxiang heard her saying those confident words, she thought the girl knew something. She could not help but have a sense of foreboding.
When she realized that almost all the Metahumans had gone out today, her eyebrows twitched. Did they calculate the time of their arrival?!
The two groups were almost going to jump at each other’s throats. Shi Shaochen and his men came with ill intentions. Tang Susu noticed that other than Ying Chengya, there were five or six other people with him. They were probably all Metahumans as well.
Especially the one standing at the very end of the group. He was exuding an aura of relaxedness that was out of tune with the others.
And this kind of calmness was definitely not something that ordinary people had!
She was secretly shocked. Shi Shaochen and the rest actually managed to recruit so many capable people so quickly?
Something flashed across Tang Susu’s mind. Just as she was about to look away, the man sharply sensed her sizing him up and looked in her direction.
When their eyes met, the young man’s eyes were filled with surprise. What a beautiful girl!
“We’ll go back and treat the wound first.” Because of Lu Yunxiang’s indirect protection just now, Tang Susu nodded at her and left with Tang Mingchu.
She didn’t want to act rashly. She just wanted to treat her third brother’s injuries quickly. When the time was right, she would pay them back double!
“You guys will come over later, right?” Ying Chengya’s sweet voice could be heard from behind, “I heard that Ms. Lu has prepared a lot of fine wine and food for us. Did you guys not have a proper meal for a long time?”
After all, there was no water and power in the apocalypse. Food could not be kept fresh, and many plants and animals had mutated. In fact, Ying Chengya did not expect Qingzhou Shelter to be able to come up with anything good.
However, Tang Susu curled her lips and sped up without any hesitation.
“Let’s go together.” Shi Shaochen retracted his gaze and called out to the young man that Tang Susu had noticed.
He had his gaze fixed on the direction Tang Susu left.
“What’s wrong?”
The young man sniffed and was slightly confused. Why did he smell the boss’s scent on that young girl?
‘Nah, couldn’t be! No woman in this world could get within three feet of his boss, let alone to come close enough to be laced with his scent!
The young man amused himself with his own thoughts. “Let’s go.”
They went to the most decent building in the entire Qingzhou Shelter, the small white building of the town government.
Along the way, Ying Chengya couldn’t hide the disgust in her heart. The Tang household deserved to live in such a place!
Tang Susu followed her third brother home. Mrs. Tang, who was busy in the kitchen, was so shocked that she dropped the basket in her hand.
“Mingchu, your hand… What happened? How did it become like this?”
“I’m fine.” Tang Mingchu threw himself on the sofa. “I can still move.”
However, Tang Susu took out a bottle of mid-level Healing Serum. She only had enough wealth points to buy one medium-grade one.
After giving it some thought, she gritted her teeth and took out two T3 crystal cores.
Tang Mingchu was shocked. “What are you doing? ”
“It’s not that hard to deal with Metahumans, but it’s not that easy either. It’s…”
With a crack, as she exerted force, the hard shell of a crystal core was broken apart, revealing the energy source inside that looked like a liquid or gas.
Tang Susu quickly applied it to the back of his hand.
“Argh! Stop! That’s a T3 crystal core!”
“Shi Shaochen has reached Rank 2 with his Lightning powers. In fact, T3 crystal cores won’t be enough.” Without any hesitation, Tang Susu broke another core before he could stop her. Then she fed him the bottle of healing medicine despite his pain.
The series of actions happened so quickly and forcefully that Tang Mingchu didn’t get a chance to refuse.
‘Darn it.’
Tang Susu looked at the back of his hand, which didn’t recover much, and felt a slight pain in her heart. “It’s all my fault. If I were stronger, I would never have let him hurt you!”
“Don’t be sad. I’m fine, really. I just look a little miserable on the surface. In fact, my bones aren’t even hurt!”
Afraid that she would not believe him, Tang Mingchu moved his hand. Only heaven knew that the pain on the back of his hand couldn’t be compared to him seeing her sad like that!
Tang Susu pulled herself together and gave him another T3 crystal core. She then put collecting valuable items on her agenda again.
Perhaps it was time for her to expand her team.
Shi Shaochen was a hidden danger that she couldn’t get rid of for the time being. However, she didn’t want him to become successful and hurt the people she cared about!
Fortunately, after he used the third T3 crystal core, the wound on the back of Tang Mingchu’s hand had shrunk by more than half, leaving only a thin layer of charred skin.
Tang Susu took out some ordinary medicine and bandaged his wound.
Tang Mingchu looked at his hand that was wrapped like a dumpling with satisfaction. She even tied a bow. “When Tang Mingqi comes back, I’ll show it off to him!”
Mrs. Tang glared at him. “Susu, are you going to have dinner with Shi Shaochen later? Bring me along!”
“There has to be someone staying at home. You guys stay. I’ll go.”
“No!” both mother and son said in unison, “You have to bring one of us. Otherwise, no one is allowed to go.”
“I’m just going to see what they’re up to.” Tang Susu began to get a headache again, and she had no choice but to choose Mrs. Tang.
Mrs. Tang’s smile bloomed, but her eyes were cold. So what if they were Metahumans? She wanted to make them pay.
Tang Mingchu, who had been left behind to look after the house, sobbed. However, he knew that the two people were still upstairs and they couldn’t allow anything to happen to them, so he did not argue over this matter.
Just in case, Tang Susu asked the two of them to put away some of the more important things in their pocket dimensions.
Mrs. Tang took the opportunity to harvest all the vegetables on the roof before dinner.
Almost as soon as they restored the roof to its original state, two people came before they could even go downstairs.
To personally ‘invite’ them to dinner.
One of them was someone Shi Shaochen had brought along. It seemed like he was determined not to give her a chance to reject.
Tang Susu and Mrs. Tang looked at each other and followed them to the banquet with calm expressions on their faces.
It was clearly a deadly banquet..
