Chapter 43: Don’t Press Against Me

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Don’t Press Against Me

"Listen up, people in the car! You’re surrounded. Come on out and surrender..."

The speaker wasn’t Big Fool Chun, but he was close enough.

Ahead of the Goddess RV, a lone blond punk stood in the middle of the road.

He even held out one hand, palm facing the RV, in a ridiculously over-the-top pose.

The blond punk’s name was Gao Qiang.

Before the apocalypse, he was the leader of the local thugs.

After the apocalypse hit, he and his underlings occupied this nearby residential complex.

Not only had they looted the nearby supplies, but they also controlled one of the essential streets for leaving the city, which was conveniently lined with storefronts.

So, he had completely blocked the road ahead with obstacles.

He was brazenly collecting a "toll."

This "toll," of course, meant robbing survivors of their supplies.

After taking their supplies, they killed the men on the spot and kept the women.

In just the last half a month, he had scored a lot of good loot thanks to this road.

While most of their previous targets were on foot, they weren’t strangers to robbing people in vehicles.

Judging by the look of this vehicle, it was probably another fat sheep ripe for the fleecing.

And this RV was a damn fine prize in itself!

Mengde laughed when he saw this scene.

’Dude, you’ve got some real guts!’

’Trying to stop a heavy-duty RV, of all things!’

This wasn’t the first time he had encountered someone trying to block his way.

After all, with an RV this big and powerful, plenty of people were green with envy.

Never mind the zombies, who were happy to ram the RV with their own heads.

There were plenty of survivors, too, but most just tried to flag him down from the roadside.

This was the first time he’d ever seen someone stand right in the middle of the road!

He scanned the area with his Telekinesis Perception and only then discovered what was on the second floors of the buildings lining the street.

Dozens of survivors had guns aimed right at his RV.

’So that’s the source of this blond punk’s confidence!’

However, his Telekinesis Perception revealed that there wasn’t a single Superpower User among them.

Even the blond punk himself was just an ordinary person.

Mengde smirked.

’Who gave you the balls to stop my ride?’

’Sister Liang?’

’It would be an insult to my heavy-duty RV if I didn’t run this blond punk over!’

So he gave the order directly.

"Xiaoai, ram right through!"

Across the way, Gao Qiang was smugly waiting for the RV to stop, thinking it would be just like all the other times.

’Hmph! The moment the owner gets out, my men will swarm him, and this RV will be mine...’

Gao Qiang’s mood lifted at the thought.

He was just about to give a self-satisfied stretch when, in the next instant, he saw the RV barreling toward him without slowing down at all.

It looked like it was going to run him over and kill him!

"Holy shit!"

Gao Qiang instinctively dove to the side.

The RV roared past like a gale, sending an involuntary shiver down his spine.

If he hadn’t dodged, he would have been maimed, at the very least!

He scrambled to his feet, fuming.

His underlings quickly rushed over.

"Open fire!"

"Kill that bastard!"

Hearing the command, his underlings immediately opened fire.

"BANG! BANG! BANG!"

Bullets hammered against the RV, but a moment later, they were all stunned.

"Brother Qiang, this truck is bulletproof!"

"Our shots aren’t penetrating!"

Gao Qiang was also dumbfounded.

’What the hell kind of vehicle is this!’

’How is it bulletproof?!’

Meanwhile, inside the RV, Mengde was holding Xiaoyao and doing... ahem, I mean, comforting her.

He had a crystal-clear view of everything happening outside on the surrounding screens.

Although the RV had been stopped by the barricade, he wasn’t the least bit flustered.

Seeing the worry in the women’s eyes, Mengde calmly reassured them.

"Don’t worry, it’s nothing."

"I’ll get out and make them move it."

He set Xiaoyao aside. ’This girl’s body is truly incredible! I almost didn’t want to pull myself out of that canyon.’

So before he left, he pulled the young matron, Bai Jie, close and whispered in her ear with a sly chuckle.

"Help me out when I get back, okay?"

After his "Japanese-style" tutelage, this young matron was already incredibly skilled.

She understood exactly what he meant the moment he spoke.

It was time for her to put her "professional skills" to use again.

A bashful blush crossed the young matron’s face, but she didn’t refuse.

"Mmm~~~"

"I’ll be waiting for you!"

Mengde chuckled in satisfaction.

He opened the RV door, but as he was about to step out, Jiayi grabbed him.

"I’m going with you!"

Mengde didn’t refuse. Instead, he wrapped an arm around her slender waist and stepped out of the vehicle with her.

’This woman has an Awakened Superpower; she needs some practice.’

’Otherwise, it’ll be useless if it’s all for show.’

’This is a perfect chance for some hands-on practice.’

When they got out of the RV, they saw Gao Qiang already back on his feet.

Seeing Mengde get out, the thug was secretly delighted.

’If he had just hidden in that bulletproof truck, I wouldn’t have had any options!’

’He actually dared to get out? Well, don’t blame me for being ruthless.’

He was just about to order his underlings to open fire when one of them spoke up urgently.

"Brother Qiang, wait..."

"Look at that woman! Isn’t she exactly what Master Niu is looking for?"

Prompted by his underling, Gao Qiang finally noticed the woman following the young man who had gotten out of the RV.

The moment he saw her, Gao Qiang’s eyes widened.

’So beautiful!’

If she were just an ordinary woman, that would be one thing.

But it would be a pity to kill a woman this beautiful!

And most importantly, this woman was a perfect match for Master Niu’s requirements!

Master Niu was the head of a nearby martial arts dojo.

Before the apocalypse, he had made a living by tricking people into becoming his apprentices, spending his days just eating and drinking on their dime.

His life was even worse than that of a big-shot thug like Gao Qiang!

But who would have known that after the apocalypse, he would suddenly awaken a miraculous ability—the power to shoot lightning!

He could kill a zombie with a single, casual strike!

He was terrifyingly powerful!

The only reason Gao Qiang could run wild here was because Master Niu had his back.

And this Master Niu’s only demand was to have a new woman serve him every single day.

Lately, not many people had been passing through, and Gao Qiang had been unable to find any suitable women.

He’d even offered up his own wife yesterday!

’A true man knows when to bend and when to stand tall. In this apocalypse, survival is all that matters!’

’Women are like clothes. So what if she got used?’

’As long as I’m alive, that’s all that matters. When you’re dead, you’ve got nothing!’

However, when he thought about this beautiful woman, and then about his own sallow-faced wife...

...he felt a sharp pang of regret.

’This woman is so damn fine!’

’Dammit, all the good women get snatched up by some old geezer!’

Gao Qiang cursed under his breath.

With this woman here, they definitely couldn’t open fire.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered his underlings to surround them with knives and clubs.

"Brothers, mince the man, but leave the woman..."

Little did they know, Mengde had no intention of running.

As the menacing crowd approached... he silently retreated behind Jiayi...

"Jiayi, don’t be afraid. I’m here!"

’None of these guys have Awakened Superpowers. This is the perfect chance for Jiayi to get some practice.’

"Mm-hmm!"

Feeling her man beside her, Jiayi wasn’t the least bit panicked.

His strong, masculine presence enveloped her, feeling so warm...

But then, Jiayi suddenly realized something was... off.

"Honey, your... thing... is poking me!"

Mengde’s face flushed red...

Awkward...
