Chapter 39: The Fool Who Abandons Her Wife and Child in the Apocalypse (Part 9)

Contact with her venom would generally cause instant rot.

This guy’s body surface hadn’t rotted probably because she was an A-Rank Ability User.

Wen Zhao touched the scales on her own face. She clearly hadn’t wanted to be discovered so early. It was probably because last night’s entanglement had made her brain too pleasured and relaxed, so she had slacked in controlling her body changes.

Wen Zhao narrowed her eyes. Her body continuously grew until it finally transformed into the girl’s appearance.

Wen Zhao stared at Shen Ke and licked her lips. Last night had been truly wonderful.

She pressed Ke Mama’s legs together, then lifted them, and finally pressed forward.

Mm, although Ke Mama’s pleas for mercy were very moving and made one want to pity her.

But their bodies stuck together unexpectedly tightly. How could she suddenly let her go?

The more Wen Zhao thought about it, the less she could control her smile. A flush spread across her pale face, carrying a sickly pleasure. “Ke Mama, I told you it would feel good.” This sickness seemed to melt into her voice, making Shen Ke feel a wet, sticky breath crawl all over her body just from hearing it.

Shen Ke frowned in disgust. “Disgusting thing, get off me.” Last night had been too wild. Now, the sensation of not being able to close her legs felt extremely intense.

Later, this lunatic Wen Zhao had even held her and done it right in front of the downed Qu Xi.

She had even let her juices splash onto Qu Xi’s face.

While muttering something like, ‘You’re getting off easy.’

When Shen Ke thought about how the person who had turned her into that state last night was actually Wen Zhao, she felt like ants were crawling all over her body. Nowhere felt comfortable, and she didn’t want to look at Wen Zhao’s face at all.

Shen Ke didn’t believe Wen Zhao’s claim that Qu Xi was already dead. She gave Wen Zhao an annoyed glance. “I told you to get lost quick!”

With that, she leaned down and pressed her ear to Qu Xi’s heart. The heartbeat was extremely faint, but it definitely existed.

Shen Ke didn’t notice how dangerous her current position was.

Looking at the red, swollen wetness clamped between the soft mounds, Wen Zhao’s eyes darkened. She parted her lips and extended her scarlet tongue tip.

Shen Ke didn’t notice Wen Zhao’s change. Her hands braced on Qu Xi’s body as she tried to rise, but her back suddenly bore an unexpected weight.

Then sharp pain transmitted from the back of her neck as something injected into her from whatever had pierced her skin.

Shen Ke’s eyes suddenly widened. A stifled sound leaked from her throat. “Urgh—”

Wen Zhao withdrew her fangs from Shen Ke’s skin and licked the flowing blood. Her sweet, smiling tone sent chills down the spine. “Ke Mama, how could you touch that person again? She’s too dirty.”

“If this keeps up, I’ll get angry too.”

“If Ke Mama has this much energy, then let’s do it with me one more time.”

Shen Ke twisted her head in disbelief. Before she could say anything, her body was suddenly scooped up.

“Urgh, ah—”

Shen Ke’s mind went blank. Her eyes rolled back uncontrollably. Why did it feel even more intense than last night?

Her fingers weakly tugged at Wen Zhao’s long hair. “Urgh, you, you, ah—you just injected something into me—mm.”

Wen Zhao gently nipped Shen Ke’s lip with her fangs. “A little aphrodisiac liquid.” Then she began pecking kisses along Shen Ke’s neck. “Ke Mama, your reactions are so cute. I love you so much.”

“I want to do it with you until the world ends.”

Shen Ke’s toes spread apart. Her body trembled as tears kept surging out. “Disgusting, you disgusting bug—urgh!” Her voice was seductive and slightly hoarse, tingling to the ears.

Wen Zhao laughed silently. She lifted her head and looked at Shen Ke’s face, which was at the peak of debauchery. She extended her tongue tip and licked away Shen Ke’s tears bit by bit. “Ke Mama, curse me more. I love hearing it.”

“Urgh, ah—”

“Wah wah wah, no tail, it’s so cold—”

“Ha ah—mm.”

“You lunatic, mm—I really should have, should have strangled you back then!”

These annoying sounds kept battering Qu Xi’s mind.

What was she supposed to be doing?

Doing it with Shen Ke—

Qu Xi suddenly opened her eyes. Shen Ke’s face, flushed with lust, entered her view.

Shen Ke’s chin rested against Wen Zhao’s neck. She rolled her eyes and met Qu Xi’s pitch-black gaze. Her swollen, shapeless red lips formed the shape: Save me.

Qu Xi gritted her teeth. She remembered now—last night, in the middle of doing it, she had been bitten by something, and then lost consciousness.

Feeling the intense pain from her five viscera and six bowels, Qu Xi slowly clenched her fist. She had nearly died.

Wen Zhao didn’t notice that Qu Xi, lying behind her, had woken up. Her expression was too obsessed, as if she couldn’t shift her attention from Shen Ke at all.

“Ke Mama, this is great. Snakes love warm nests the most.”

Qu Xi’s gaze turned ruthless. She slowly gripped the nearby tree branch.

Shen Ke took in all of Qu Xi’s movements. She took a deep breath, cupped Wen Zhao’s face, and sent her lips forward.

Wen Zhao’s heart suddenly clenched. She trapped Shen Ke tightly in her arms and began ruthlessly tormenting her lips.

Moments later, Wen Zhao released Shen Ke’s red lips and chuckled lowly. “Ke Mama, I want to—”

The intense pain from her heart stopped Wen Zhao’s words. She slowly lowered her head and looked at the tree branch piercing her heart, seeming somewhat helpless. “Ah, seriously.”

She had gotten her hopes up for nothing. She thought Ke Mama was finally responding to her, but it turned out she was just distracting her to give someone else an opportunity.

Seeing this, Shen Ke shoved Wen Zhao away fiercely, withdrew, and used her last bit of strength to throw herself into Qu Xi’s arms. Her voice hoarse, she said, “We need to leave here quick and head to Dawn Base!”

Wen Zhao collapsed to the ground. The only color on her lips drained away completely. Hearing Shen Ke’s words, she laughed neurotically. “Ke Mama, don’t go—you can’t escape.”

Qu Xi’s face was deathly pale. She steadied Shen Ke, walked up to Wen Zhao, and stabbed another tree branch into her heart.

Blood kept overflowing from her chest and the corner of her mouth. The light in Wen Zhao’s eyes grew dimmer and dimmer. She always looked toward Shen Ke. The last thought in her mind was that next time, she had to lock the person up and hide her somewhere only she knew—

Qu Xi only left after confirming the woman had no heartbeat at all. Whether animal or human, destroying the heart meant death.

Thinking of the scene she had seen upon opening her eyes, surging rage rose in Qu Xi’s heart. She kicked Wen Zhao into the pool with one foot.

“You’re getting off easy. I should have chopped off her fingers and tongue before killing her.”

Qu Xi took a deep breath. The intense pain was slowly fading—it was her body self-repairing internally.

If she weren’t an Ability User infinitely close to S-Level, she would already be a corpse.

The higher an Ability User’s rank, the stronger their supernatural ability, body, and recovery.

The clothes left on the shore had dried completely. Qu Xi picked them up, dressed Shen Ke first, then herself.

After getting dressed, Qu Xi scooped Shen Ke up. The killing intent on her face didn’t fade at all. “Sorry, I was careless.” If she hadn’t been too immersed, Shen Ke wouldn’t have suffered that.

Being forced like that must have dealt a huge blow to Shen Ke’s heart.

Shen Ke’s whole body was limp and listless, swollen badly. Without panties, it rubbed painfully.

She didn’t want to say a single word right now. She was too tired—too tired to even lift a finger.

She needed to sleep. Ability Users had strong recovery; a sleep would fix it—

Shen Ke fell asleep.

Qu Xi tightened her arms around her. She rubbed her cheek against the top of Shen Ke’s head. “I’ll take responsibility for you.” She had always kept herself pure. Besides hating human touch, it was also because she only wanted to do such intimate things with someone she liked.

Why did she hate others’ touch? Of course because she despised it. But she didn’t hate Shen Ke’s, so when Shen Ke seduced her, she couldn’t refuse—in fact, she had been eager inside.

And now Shen Ke was hers. She wouldn’t allow anyone to touch her possession.

The sun began sinking again. In the untouched forest, a few zombies followed the blood trail to the poolside.

At that moment, a figure slowly crawled out from the pool—jet-black long hair, pale skin.

Smelling the scent of the living, the zombies roared and charged at the figure.

But before they got close, the zombies’ bodies instantly rotted into pools of black blood.

Wen Zhao yanked out the tree branch from her heart and sighed. “I need to go find Mama to repair my body.” Even as an experimental product like her, damage to the heart caused severe injury.

Ke Mama was so mean, helping someone else hurt her.

“Fuck, this zombie’s too fast! Zhao Qi, can your fireball hit it?”

Zhao Qi clicked her tongue and yelled, “I can’t hit it either! This zombie must have a Speed-Type Ability! Damn! We’re probably done for today!”

Crimson Base had been wiped out, so they planned to head to Dawn Base. The Cross-Sea Bridge from B City to C City should have been fastest, but when they arrived, they only saw a broken, ruined bridge that was utterly impassable. So they had to backtrack and take the highway.

They hadn’t expected to run into a horde of zombies on the highway, including two Ability Zombies.

They had barely taken down one that spewed Poison Mist, but this speedy one—they couldn’t hit it no matter what.

“Watch out not to get bitten! Damn it! On the right!”

The zombie’s speed was too high. Zhao Qi found her attacks always a beat slow. She was a C-Rank Ability User at least, but this zombie dodged her attacks effortlessly. Even with ability counters, this zombie’s power was definitely on par with hers.

If this kept up, they’d die here sooner or later. And there was something even scarier—this zombie was clearly draining their supernatural abilities, meaning it already had some intelligence.

Maybe one day these zombies would fully awaken.

A Si said, “Sister Zhao! You take the other teammates and go! We can’t keep grinding here!”

Zhao Qi understood A Si’s intent. A Si was also a Speed-Type Ability User and could barely hold off the zombie’s attacks.

Zhao Qi gritted her teeth. “Go!” As captain, she had to make the right call.

But the next second, several blinding bolts of Lightning appeared. Zhao Qi froze. The Ability Zombie they couldn’t deal with was precisely captured by the Lightning and turned into charred powder almost instantly.

“We’re, we’re saved—” Her teammate’s voice brought Zhao Qi back.

She scanned the surroundings and saw a figure slowly walking toward them from not far away.

Zhao Qi didn’t relax but stayed vigilant.

As the figure drew nearer, Zhao Qi saw that she was cradling someone in her arms.

Zhao Qi’s eyes widened abruptly. She cried out in shock, “Shen Ke!”

Qu Xi, holding Shen Ke, stopped in front of Zhao Qi. Her gaze was icy, her aura overwhelming. “You know Shen Ke?”

Zhao Qi’s heart jolted. Just as she was about to speak, A Si stepped forward.

“Hello, so Shen Ke is from your squad.”

Qu Xi frowned, her expression turning sinister. “From your squad? Then why was she alone in the wilds?”

A Si looked uneasy and answered cautiously, “Alone? Ability User ma’am, didn’t you see her wife and child?”

Qu Xi’s breath hitched. Her aura turned utterly cold. She tightened her fingers and looked at Shen Ke’s sleeping face. Her voice was terrifyingly hoarse. “You say Shen Ke has a child and a wife?”

“Uh, this.”

“Shen Ke left with her child and wife back then.”
