Chapter 51 - 51: 51: Whether I can live or not, it’s up to fate! (Thanks to the recommendation votes from readers!)
The once silent sixth floor erupted into chaos with Chu Zixuan’s statement.
“Did she come to kill us?” Ji Zhiwen asked anxiously.
“Why would she want to kill us?” An Ya refuted.
“She’s gone mad, we should escape!” Cao Yongyi chimed in.
“Clack!”
“Clack!”
“Clack!”
Before they could agree on anything, the sound of high heels echoed from the staircase.
Ji Zhiwen and Cao Yongyi immediately quieted down and subtly stepped away from the door, retreating to the window.
“Clack Clack! ”
The sound was now much closer.
Chu Zixuan was getting nervous, his right hand tightly gripping a knife while his left hand reached for a second hidden in his clothes.
“Click! ”
The sound of the door handle being turned was heard. Everyone inside held their breath, watching the door anxiously.
“Bang!”
The door was pushed open. Ming Yuwei appeared, dressed in a new red cheongsam with matching red high heels. Despite the dust-filled environment, she had not a single stain on her.
With vibrant red lipstick, she walked in expressionlessly.
“What do you want?”
The first one who couldn’t contain himself was Ji Zhiwen, who shouted sternly, hoping to deter her.
“Clack, clack, clack!”
Ming Yuwei ignored him, continuing her stride until she stopped beside An Ya.
“Would you like to come with me?”
She looked at An Ya, a strange glint flickering in her eyes.
Only then did everyone notice, she no longer had the knife in her hand!
“Go? Go where?”
An Ya was somewhat bewildered, unsure of what she meant.
Ming Yuwei smiled, “You’re surviving here relying on men… Come with me and let’s start a group to protect women…”
“Huh?”
An Ya was stunned, at a loss for how to respond, “But, this team has been good to me…”
Her awakening was thanks to the crystal Du Gang gave her. She was hoping to pay back this favor when she became more powerful in the future.
Ming Yuwei shook her head, sighing, “You’ve already seen what happened on the twelfth floor – as the apocalypse unfolds, things like this will happen more frequently. Men will inevitably lose control of their desires. It’s dangerous for you here! ”
“But… but Du Gang saved my life!” An Ya was now torn. Ming Yuwei’s suggestion was enticing – to establish a group that protected women, and she was interested in joining.
“Sigh!”
Ming Yuwei sighed, “Could you step outside with me for a moment? I want to speak with you alone.”
An Ya nodded and followed her out.
Only after the two disappeared through the door did the people in the room breath a sigh of relief.
“That woman is terrifying!”
Ji Zhiwen’s brow frowned in recollection, “Just now, I don’t know why, but I felt like an ant she could kill anytime…”
“I had the same feeling!”
Cao Yongyi agreed upon hearing him, “Yes, there seems to be an invisible pressure around her, making me feel somewhat…’
Chu Zixuan didn’t engage with their conversation; his full attention was on the two people outside. He couldn’t hear their conversation, but his mental power followed them.
After what seemed like the time it would take to brew a pot of tea, he spoke again, “An Ya’s gone!”
“Gone?”
“Yes, she left with that woman!”
“How could she just leave like that? She took the team’s crystal!” Ji Zhiwen’s face was full of indignation.
Upon hearing this, Cao Yongyi also looked unhappy. Even though the acquisition of the crystal had little to do with him, he was still dissatisfied.
Chu Zixuan, however, fell into deep contemplation, his brows furrowing even more tightly.
“I feel like… I’ve forgotten something important!”
“What?” Ma Li asked curiously.
Just then, the sound of “squeaking” came from far outside the window.
Hearing this noise, Chu Zixuan abruptly realized, exclaiming in shock, “Flying bugs! We forgot about the flying bugs!”
He suddenly understood why the golden beetles had passed by the building before without any flying bugs coming in. It was because of Ming Yuwei. Whether she intended to or not, she had suppressed the flying bugs. But now that she had left, the flying bugs finally reappeared!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of windows shattering throughout the building could be heard.
“We’re done for!”
On Xingyuan Plaza, countless golden beetles gathered. Occasionally, one could see the beetles shrinking their bodies and colliding with each other, creating intense shockvvaves.
“Fatal Strike!”
Du Gang shouted, his entire body tensing as his heart began to pound uncontrollably, an invisible force merging all his strength together. Then, he struck a golden beetle that had approached him.
“Bang!”
The beetle’s head instantly exploded. Its original 20-meter long body shrank to approximately 15 meters, revealing an orange crystal that floated in the air.
His punch had vaporized the beetle’s head leaving only the source energy crystal due to its resilience and prevented it from taking any damage.
Seeing this, Du Gang moved swiftly, catching the falling crystal and converting it via his system to source energy.
The orange crystal gave him 23 points of source energy.
After receiving the source energy, Du Gang transformed into a dancer again, swaying on the already dilapidated plaza, dodging attack after attack from the golden beetles.
A Fatal Strike, given his current physical condition, required at least one hour to recover after each use.
So, Du Gang would kill a golden beetle every hour – partly for the source energy, and partly because there were too many beetles on the plaza. He needed to clear some space to move around.
But even this way, he was too far from the spatial channel, no longer limited to one plaza. In other words, the entire Xingyuan County had become a plaza.
The current situation was unpredictable. Xingyuan County, once filled with the semblance of civilization, now resembled a city attacked by a nuclear bomb, littered with ruins.
Besides a few buildings tall enough to remain standing due to their sturdy structure, all other buildings up to six stories high had been destroyed!
However, Du Gang had no choice but to deal with the situation. He was forced to hold back the golden beetles near the spatial channel.. The survival of the rest depended on their fate!
