208: Chapter 208 Zhao Tianhao was excited to have heard the news!

Deep within the underground base, in Zhao Tianhao's luxurious room.

This room was meticulously decorated by his subordinates under the control of his Superpower. It was a massive bedroom spanning fifty square meters, with Persian carpets scavenged from ruins covering the floor and various luxury decorations adorning the walls.

The most eye-catching feature was the oversized double bed, large enough to sleep five people, covered with silk bedding found from a high-end hotel.

Having just "enjoyed" Little Xue, he lay lazily on the bed, his obese body appearing particularly bloated under the silk quilt, like a lethargic fat pig.

The room still retained the lingering, ambiguous scent from the intense activity moments ago, mixed with the smells of perfume and sweat.

The thought of that innocent young girl's soft moans beneath him, that conflicted expression of forced submission yet inability to resist...

...made him unable to resist licking his lips, a perverted sense of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Tsk tsk, even though she wasn't a virgin anymore, the taste was still good... The feeling of defiling such an innocent girl is truly addictive..."

Zhao Tianhao contentedly stroked his large belly, the fat wobbling under his palm.

But soon, his expression turned dissatisfied.

"Damn, when will I get to taste a truly stunning beauty?"

"This kind of goods is nothing more than an appetizer!"

He rolled over and sat up, a greedy glint flashing in his eyes.

Before obtaining the SSS-rank Ability, he could only dream of having a woman by his side.

Back then, he was just a waste inferior to even a D-rank Ability User, hiding in a burrow every day, surviving by scavenging garbage.

Seeing those powerful Ability Users always surrounded by beauties, he could only feel envy and hatred in his heart.

Now that he has them, he's still not satisfied.

Human desire is like this, endless. Especially for someone like him who climbed up from the bottom, he is insatiably greedy.

"I have an SSS-rank Ability now, why should I still settle for less?"

The more Zhao Tianhao thought about it, the more displeased he became:

"Those leaders of the major Shelters, why can they possess so many stunning beauties?"

"My Ability rank is no lower than theirs, why can't I enjoy the same treatment?"

This sense of imbalance made him even more eager to prove himself.

"Li Si!"

Zhao Tianhao shouted loudly, his voice carrying obvious impatience.

Soon, that B-rank Esper pushed the door open and entered, bowing respectfully.

"Master, what are your orders?"

Li Si carefully observed Zhao Tianhao's expression, afraid of angering this capricious master.

"How is the information gathering going?"

Zhao Tianhao asked, an urgent light flashing in his eyes.

Li Si replied respectfully:

"Master, we have already collected some useful information."

"Among the largest Shelters in Jiangcheng, there are indeed many beautiful women."

Hearing this, Zhao Tianhao instantly perked up:

"Give me the details!"

"Yes, Master!"

Li Si took out a handwritten report:

"According to our investigation, the most famous in Jiangcheng is the Lin Yuan Shelter."

"It's said that sixty thousand women live there, and..."

He paused:

"...it's said the quality of the women inside is extremely high!"

"Sixty thousand women?!"

Zhao Tianhao's eyes nearly popped out of his head, his obese body trembling violently from shock:

"Holy shit! Is this guy trying to defy the heavens? Sixty thousand women!"

"I could never dream of such good fortune!"

He excitedly rolled over and sat up, completely ignoring the wobbling of his excess flesh:

"Sixty thousand! I couldn't even get one before, and this guy actually has sixty thousand!"

"Yes, Master. And according to eyewitness descriptions..."

Li Si cautiously observed Zhao Tianhao's expression and continued his report:

"...there are several peerless beauties in that Shelter! Each one is a rare, top-grade treasure among thousands!"

"Give me the details! I want to hear the details!"

Zhao Tianhao urged impatiently, the fire of greed in his eyes burning brighter.

"There's one named Su Yuyan, said to be a well-known entrepreneur before the Apocalypse. Tall, with a noble bearing, she's practically a perfect goddess!"

Li Si flipped open the small notebook in his hand:

"According to our informant's description, she has long, jet-black hair, always wears professional attire, walks with an air of authority, clearly the type of unattainable, powerful businesswoman!"

Hearing this detailed description, Zhao Tianhao's breathing grew rapid, and he almost drooled.

A noble female entrepreneur?

Wasn't that the aloof, goddess-like CEO type?!

This type of beauty was exactly what he most wanted to conquer!

Imagining that kind of lofty female CEO kneeling before him made Zhao Tianhao tremble with excitement!

"What else?"

He asked with uncontrollable eagerness.

"There's also a pair of sisters, named Ye Qingxue and Ye Qingyue."

Li Si continued reading from the intelligence:

"The older sister, Ye Qingxue, is said to have an icy, frosty demeanor. Before the Apocalypse, she was a campus belle and a young lady from a wealthy family. Her hair reaches her waist, her figure is perfect, the classic ice queen type."

"The younger sister, Ye Qingyue, is the cute and sweet type, also a famous campus belle, the second young lady. Although she looks young, she's already well-developed..."

"Holy shit!"

Zhao Tianhao couldn't help but curse:

"What kind of heavenly lineup is this?! Sisters! And such premium ones!"

His eyes were already gleaming with madness.

As a veteran otaku, a pair of sisters had always been his biggest fantasy!

Now he actually had a chance to encounter such a combination?

"Keep going! What other beauties are there?"

"There's another whose name is unknown, said to have a mysterious, inscrutable aura, always appearing to see through everything, but extremely beautiful..."

"And one named Chu Yanran..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Zhao Tianhao interrupted him:

"I want all the beauties in their Shelter!"

"Understood, Master!"

Li Si continued.

Zhao Tianhao was so excited he jumped up from the bed:

"This man named Lin Yuan, his Shelter is practically a beauty headquarters!"

"Sixty thousand women, and just among them are so many top-grade beauties!"

"Why does he get to have it so good?!"

He paced back and forth in the room, his obese body trembling with excitement:

"I must have them! I absolutely must have them!"

"Imagine, Su Yuyan, that noble female CEO..."

"Ye Qingxue, that ice queen..."

"And..."

The more he thought, the more excited he became, drool almost dripping.

"Master, but..."

Li Si said cautiously:

"...that Lin Yuan's strength is formidable, said to be extremely terrifying!"

"And his Shelter's defenses are tight. If we want to attack..."

"Who said anything about attacking?"

Zhao Tianhao sneered:

"I'm not an idiot, of course I know a direct assault won't work."

"But..."

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes:

"...who says a direct assault is the only method?"

"What is my Ability? Desire Manipulation!"

"As long as I can get close to those beauties, I can use my Ability to manipulate their desires!"

"When the time comes, they'll willingly throw themselves into my embrace!"

Hearing this plan, a flicker of admiration appeared in Li Si's eyes:

"Master is wise!"

"However..."

Zhao Tianhao frowned:

"...how do we get close to them?"

"That Lin Yuan Shelter is heavily guarded, it's difficult for outsiders to enter..."

He began to think.

With his current strength, even with an SSS-rank Ability, he definitely couldn't match Lin Yuan in a one-on-one fight.

Although his Desire Manipulation Ability was powerful, the prerequisite was being able to make contact with the target.

And the other side had so many subordinates...

According to the intelligence, that Shelter alone had over a hundred Ability Users above A-rank!

That level of strength was enough to crush any force in Jiangcheng!

"A direct confrontation is definitely out, must think of a clever method..."

Zhao Tianhao paced back and forth in the room, his obese body making heavy footsteps on the floor.

"That's it!"

Zhao Tianhao suddenly had an inspiration, a cunning light flashing in his eyes:

"Isn't it the mid-Apocalypse now? Dangers are everywhere!"

"SSS-rank Evolved Beasts, mutated zombies, spatial rifts..."

"If those beauties encounter danger outside..."

"...and I happen to appear to save them..."

"Then they'll be immensely grateful to me, see me as their savior, and their guard will naturally lower!"

"Then I'll seize the chance to use my Ability, subtly influencing their desires..."

"Heh heh heh..."

He let out an even more lecherous laugh, as if already seeing the beauties throwing themselves at him.

This plan was indeed good!

Saving the beauty—since ancient times, the most effective method to win a girl's heart!

Especially since he had the SSS-rank Desire Manipulation Ability as a backup, the success rate was almost one hundred percent!

"Master, this plan is excellent!"

Li Si flattered:

"But we need to grasp their movement patterns..."

"Correct!"

Zhao Tianhao nodded:

"Starting tomorrow, send people to monitor that Shelter!"

"I want to know every move of those beauties!"

"Especially when they come out, where they go, how many guards they bring..."

"Find out everything for me!"

"Yes, Master!"

Li Si replied respectfully.

Zhao Tianhao nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Little Xue, who was still trembling on the bed.

"You wait here, I'll use you again tonight."

Little Xue obediently nodded, her eyes empty and submissive.

Although a sliver of clarity remained deep inside, under the effect of Desire Manipulation, she could only be manipulated at will.

Zhao Tianhao lay back on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to fantasize.

"Heh heh heh..."

"Lin Yuan, oh Lin Yuan, so what if you have so many beauties?"

"In the end, won't they all benefit me?"

"Just wait, it won't be long before they're all mine!"

Zhao Tianhao laughed wildly in his heart.

He was completely unaware that he was provoking an existence that absolutely must not be provoked.

Lin Yuan's terror far exceeded his imagination.

And the loyalty of those beauties to Lin Yuan was not something his dirty methods could shake.

But for now, he was still immersed in his beautiful fantasy.

He had no idea that, in the distant Lin Yuan Shelter, the man he viewed as prey was coldly gazing into the distance.

...

Meanwhile, at the Lin Yuan Shelter.

On the top floor of the main castle, Lin Yuan stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the entire Shelter.

The Shelter was brightly lit in the night, with Female Warriors patrolling everywhere.

Suddenly, he sensed a strange, malicious intent. Though very faint, it made him frown.

"Someone is coveting my women?"

Relying on his SSS-rank perception ability, Lin Yuan vaguely detected something.

In this Apocalypse, aside from malicious intent towards his women, nothing else could evoke such disgust in him.

"It seems another fool who doesn't value his life has appeared..."

A dangerous, cold glint flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

What he hated most was people coveting his women.

The last one who did this, Zhao Tianji, had long since turned to dust.

"No matter who you are, since you dare to covet my women..."

Lin Yuan turned and walked towards the desk, picking up a report about the meteorite impact zone:

"...then await my wrath."

Outside the window, the night wind howled past.

The entire city of Jiangcheng was bathed in the eerie glow of the seven-colored snowflake.

And within this glow, a battle over beauties was about to commence.

Only this time, the opponent was destined to become a corpse beneath Lin Yuan's feet.

Because in this Apocalypse, no one could lay a finger on what belonged to Lin Yuan.

No one!
