Chapter 11: Night Raid

Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Night Raid

The figure was none other than his pre-apocalypse supervisor, Liu Junjie!

Liu Junjie thought he was well hidden, but he had no idea that after being enhanced by the system’s potion, Mengde’s eyesight was countless times better than an ordinary person’s.

If he wasn’t mistaken, that person was indeed his supervisor from before the apocalypse.

The man knew where he lived and that he was renting with the two sisters.

Just in case, Mengde prepared to search Building One tomorrow to eliminate any future threat.

But for tonight, it was best to stay on guard to avoid letting a simple mistake be his undoing.

In the apocalypse, you could never be too careful!

Any carelessness was a betrayal of your own survival!

He glanced at the time. It was already two in the morning.

At this time of day, when a normal person would be at their drowsiest, Mengde felt no sleepiness at all. On the contrary, he was exceptionally clear-headed and energetic.

He had spent the day exploring outside and returned in the afternoon for a "battle," yet he felt no fatigue at all. Instead, he was brimming with an unusual amount of energy.

He figured it was for two reasons. First, he had awakened a Superpower, so his physical fitness was already far beyond that of an ordinary person.

Second, it was due to the effect of the Star Night Walker Skill he had just acquired—his Recovery Power doubled at night!

Of course, this didn’t mean he no longer needed sleep. It just meant he could pull one or two all-nighters and still feel completely normal the next day.

It was kind of like automatically entering a state of deep sleep the moment night fell.

So, the energy he had expended in his afternoon "battle" with Jiayi had now almost completely recovered.

He even had a feeling that he could take on another woman right now!

Oh, no!

’I want ten of them!’

At that thought, Mengde felt a ball of fire ignite within him.

But just then, as he opened his eyes, he saw a woman in a sheer, pink spaghetti-strap nightgown walking toward him, her sexy, alluring shoulders exposed.

In the candlelight, her figure moved like a nimble elf in the night.

The woman’s lace-trimmed nightgown barely covered her tempting rear, revealing a pair of long, slender, jade-like legs.

So tempting!

However, a single sentence doused half of his fire.

"Brother-in-law?"

The one dressed in this nightgown was none other than Chen Jiayao!

His sister-in-law, in name.

"Oh, it’s you, Yaoyao!"

Chen Jiayao already had an excellent figure, and the nightgown she was wearing now perfectly showcased her slender, flawless body.

"Brother-in-law, why aren’t you asleep yet?"

’This girl’s voice is really pleasant.’

The way she tilted her head with a puzzled look was also strangely cute.

Mengde hadn’t planned on telling the sisters, wanting to avoid scaring them and just deal with the problem himself quietly.

But since she’d found him and was asking, Mengde told her what happened during the day and what he suspected.

Her first reaction wasn’t fear. Instead, she looked at him, deeply moved.

"So... Brother-in-law, you’re staying up so late, standing guard here to protect me and my sister?"

’Uh... I guess that’s not wrong...’

Before he could react, the girl actually started crying and, in the next second, threw herself into his arms.

"SOB... SOB... SOB..."

"Brother-in-law, you’re too good to us!"

Tears streamed from Chen Jiayao’s eyes as if they cost nothing, quickly soaking a patch of Mengde’s shirt.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Goddess Chen Jiayao’s Affinity has increased by 10. Current Affinity: 45!]

But that wasn’t the most critical part. The most critical part was that as she cried, her body trembled.

And she was in his arms!

’This is going to be the death of me!’

The fire that had just died down flared up again, burning hotter and hotter...

His gaze toward Yaoyao gradually changed...

He spun around, pinning the woman in his arms to the sofa. The strap of her nightgown slipped off in the motion, revealing fair skin as smooth and delicate as fine jade. He grabbed the silky garment, about to tear it open...

But just then, his keen hearing picked up the roars of zombies from downstairs.

It was like a bucket of ice water had been dumped over his head, snapping him instantly back to his senses.

His premonition had been correct. Someone was really here!

Mengde reacted quickly, immediately making a hand signal to Yaoyao in his arms.

Yaoyao, however, may or may not have understood it. In any case, her small face was turning redder and redder.

Just as he was wondering what was wrong with her, he heard her voice, faint as the buzzing of a mosquito.

"Brother-in-law... your... that..."

As she spoke, the girl even pointed with her slender finger...

Holy shit!

Mengde jumped back, finally realizing what was happening.

’Awkward...’

A blush crept up Mengde’s face.

’So pathetic!’

’So utterly pathetic!’

But thinking about the people downstairs coming for him, he had no time for lengthy explanations and quickly gave instructions.

"Yaoyao, someone’s here!"

"Don’t say a word. Just stay in your room and keep the door locked!"

"Don’t open it unless I call for you, understand?"

His words immediately made Yaoyao understand the situation. Ignoring her blush and the beautiful scenery she was exposing, she quickly replied.

"Okay, okay. Brother-in-law, you have to be careful. My sister and I will wait for you at home."

Her words were filled with worry. After a moment’s hesitation, she added with a blush.

"If... if something happens to you, then Yaoyao won’t want to live anymore..."

As she said this, her worried face was filled with determination.

Mengde found it a little amusing.

’This girl is so adorably foolish.’ He couldn’t help but stroke her hair.

"Don’t worry. Trust me, your brother-in-law will be fine."

After speaking, Mengde quickly went to the window and glanced down. Sure enough, he saw a dense crowd of dark figures.

Under the effect of his Star Night Walker Skill, the darkness didn’t affect his vision at all.

There were about a dozen people. They had already passed through the zombie horde and entered Building 5, where he was.

After a moment of thought, Mengde decided not to move the furniture blocking the door. Instead, he glanced down. It would be a lie to say the fifteen-story drop wasn’t scary.

One misstep, and it would be game over for him.

But he still took a deep breath, and in the next second, he vanished from Yaoyao’s sight.

The sight terrified Yaoyao so much that she almost screamed, but she quickly leaned against the window to look.

She saw her brother-in-law safely enter an apartment on the floor below, and only then did the girl let out a huge sigh of relief...

Meanwhile, downstairs, Brother Dao’s men, led by his sworn brother Wang Xiaohu, were rapidly ascending the building.

The one leading the way was none other than Mengde’s former supervisor, Liu Junjie!!!
