71: Chapter 71 A Ghostly Encounter?!

Night fell, and the apartment fell into a deathly silence.

Nights in the Apocalypse were always exceptionally quiet.

There was no roar of vehicles, no clamor of human voices, only the occasional low growl of an Evolved Beast.

After finishing the hotpot, Lin Yuan arranged for the women to rest.

Su Yuyan and the Lin mother-daughter pair shared one room. Although the aloof female CEO was puzzled, she still complied with the arrangement.

Lin Wanrou gently coaxed her daughter to sleep. Lin Ruoxue curled up in her mother's arms and closed her eyes uneasily.

Bai Xingli and Chu Yanran shared a room.

Bai Xingli remained her usual lazy self, falling asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Chu Yanran lay nervously on the bed, taking a while to gradually fall asleep.

Lin Yuan took The Ye Sisters back to the third room.

Ye Qingxue and Ye Qingyue lay on either side of Lin Yuan.

On the soft bed, two peerlessly beautiful women pressed against his body.

Ye Qingxue's body carried a cool, snowy scent, while Ye Qingyue's was sweet and floral.

The three of them closed their eyes. Lin Yuan and Ye Qingxue were pretending to sleep.

But in reality... they were all waiting.

Waiting for the good show about to unfold.

Behind the window on a high floor.

Chen Meier hid in the shadows, observing below through the window.

"They're all asleep... the opportunity has come."

She returned to her own room, stood by the window, and looked out at the frozen world.

The Apocalypse night sky held no starlight, only endless darkness.

A complex look flashed in Chen Meier's eyes as she recalled her own experiences.

Before the Apocalypse, she was a top-tier figure on a certain platform.

A female streamer with millions of followers.

Although her looks weren't on par with those goddesses, she was still a beauty. With the help of beauty filters, she became a true manga-style goddess, wielding immense influence online.

She gave her first time to her top fan.

An ugly, middle-aged man with a potbelly and a face full of flesh.

But she couldn't resist the fact that he was a billionaire CEO.

His lavish spending won her over.

Though unwilling and disgusted, she compromised for the resources.

Compared to other female streamers, she was considered 'chaste'.

She only did it with the top fan, never fooling around with others.

But the humiliation of that night left her with an intense aversion to men.

She swore that one day, she would make all men kneel at her feet!

After the Apocalypse...

Everything changed.

She stumbled upon a mysterious demon core.

It was a demon core emitting an eerie pink light. The moment she touched it, she felt a scorching energy.

She also coincidentally found a seven-colored snowflake.

The two unexpectedly fused, activating a B-rank Superpower: Yang Absorption.

It was as if all of this was predestined.

She could grow stronger by draining men dry.

At that moment, Chen Meier smiled.

Fate had finally favored her!

To survive, to grow bigger and stronger, she began frantically draining men.

She kept pretty boys as 'male pets', squeezing them dry before discarding them.

When she encountered women more beautiful than herself...

She would hand them over to her subordinates to take turns raping them to death.

Then, they were turned into 'human meat' to feed her subordinates.

This was her way of survival.

Cruel, bloody, extreme.

But in the Apocalypse, this was her law!

Chen Meier snapped back to reality, a flash of madness in her eyes.

"Those women will be no exception this time."

She looked out the window, picturing the scene of those goddesses kneeling before her, begging for mercy.

A cruel smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

She gathered all her subordinates for a final pre-battle mobilization.

In the dimly lit room, over forty burly men's eyes were filled with greed.

"Everyone," Chen Meier's voice was seductive yet cruel, "once we capture those women, have your fun with them!"

The burly men's breathing grew rapid, their eyes turning red.

A D-rank Ability User was in charge of leading the charge.

Although he was also a man, he had no rights in front of Chen Meier.

He was just a tool, a pawn to be discarded at any time.

The forty burly men were divided into three groups, each targeting one room.

Chen Meier herself stayed in the rear to oversee the operation, ready to detonate explosives and escape at any moment.

This was her cautious backup plan for surviving so long in the Apocalypse.

Never take risks, always leave yourself a way out.

The burly men rubbed their hands together with lecherous grins, itching to charge in immediately.

The D-rank Ability User obeyed the orders with humiliation. Though unwilling, he could only comply.

Chen Meier sneered, a flash of triumph in her eyes:

"While they're sleeping, we'll take them down in one fell swoop! That man is sleeping soundly with two women in his arms, never expecting a sneak attack!"

...

Inside the male lead's room.

Lin Yuan held The Ye Sisters in his arms.

The three of them closed their eyes, pretending to sleep.

But through Superpower perception, they observed the entire situation.

Chen Meier's head was topped with a red glow.

Her subordinates were all black.

They were preparing to launch a sneak attack.

A smile curled at the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth.

Waiting for the clowns to make their entrance.

Late at night.

Chen Meier confirmed there was no movement in any of the three rooms and ordered the full assault.

The D-rank Ability User and the forty burly men moved quietly.

Divided into three groups, they surrounded the three rooms.

The burly men suppressed their excitement, their minds filled with images of the goddesses being violated.

They prepared to break down the doors simultaneously.

Chen Meier hid in the distance, sneering.

She believed everything was under her control.

Soon, the three groups of burly men acted simultaneously.

A skinny burly man at the front quietly twisted a doorknob.

Gently...

Slowly...

The lock was picked.

They snickered softly, ready to charge in.

Chen Meier hid behind a distant window, a triumphant smile on her face.

"Success! The sneak attack worked!"

...

Su Yuyan's room.

Su Yuyan, Lin Wanrou, and Lin Ruoxue were all sound asleep.

Completely unaware of the impending danger.

Bai Xingli's room.

Bai Xingli was sleeping soundly. Chu Yanran was curled up in a corner.

Neither of them noticed anything.

Lin Yuan's room.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the bed.

Lin Yuan held The Ye Sisters in his arms, appearing to be asleep.

But in reality...

Lin Yuan and Ye Qingxue were wide awake.

Through his C-rank Danger Perception, Lin Yuan clearly 'saw' the three groups of burly men approaching.

Their heads were all topped with black glows, filled with malice.

Chen Meier's head was topped with a glaring red glow, indicating extreme malice.

A playful smile curled at the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth.

He deliberately hadn't told the other women.

Not out of negligence, but by design.

He wanted these women to know...

What they would face without him.

To make them face reality.

To make them understand that only by relying on him could they survive.

In the Apocalypse, without his protection, the fate of these women...

Was unthinkable.

This was a great 'teaching' opportunity.

To make them more dependent on him, more submissive to him.

Ye Qingxue, lying in his arms, sensed Lin Yuan's intention.

She didn't speak, only the black vortex in her eyes swirled slightly.

Ready to act at any moment.

She completely understood Lin Yuan's thinking.

Even... she somewhat looked forward to it.

Ye Qingyue was sleeping soundly, her small face buried against Lin Yuan's chest, breathing evenly.

She was genuinely asleep, completely unaware of the danger outside.

The warm embrace allowed her to sleep peacefully.

...

The living room.

The late-night living room was utterly silent.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, casting mottled shadows on the floor.

Over forty burly men quietly gathered.

They moved softly, afraid of waking their targets.

The D-rank Ability User stood at the front, a lecherous glint flashing in his eyes.

He lowered his voice and said, "According to plan, split into three groups, break down the doors simultaneously!"

"Those women are all sleeping. Capture them!"

"Remember, don't kill that man. The boss wants him alive!"

The burly men nodded with lecherous grins, their eyes filled with lust.

Having survived a month in the Apocalypse, they had never seen such top-tier beauties.

And now, seeing so many of them, how could they hold back?

Their eyes were red, itching to charge into the rooms immediately!

The D-rank Ability User raised his hand, ready to give the order.

The air seemed to freeze.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for that command.

"Three, two, one..."

But at that very moment!

The living room, originally illuminated by moonlight with silvery light spilling on the floor...

For some reason, the moonlight instantly dimmed!

The entire living room plunged into pitch darkness!

"What's going on?!"

The burly men were stunned, an ominous premonition rising in their hearts.

The next second.

Eerie black mist surged out from all directions!

It writhed and churned in the living room like a living thing!

The mist was icy, viscous, and reeked of death!

Within the black mist, twisted human faces surfaced!

Pale faces, hollow eye sockets, blood-red mouths...

Those faces opened their mouths, emitting silent screams!

As if they were evil spirits from hell!

"Ahhhh—!!!"

"Ghosts! There are ghosts!!!"

The burly men were scared out of their wits, their faces deathly pale!

No matter how brave, most people couldn't overcome their fear of ghosts.

Especially something so tangible and real.

It was too terrifying!

Although they had survived a month in the Apocalypse and witnessed many bloody scenes.

Eating human flesh, killing companions, raping women...

They had done every bloody deed imaginable.

But this bizarre spectacle still terrified them to the core!

Everyone believed these were the vengeful spirits of the people they had raped and killed, coming to claim their lives.

This wasn't something humans could fight against!

The D-rank Ability User's face turned deathly pale as he trembled and retreated.

"W-what is this?!"

He tried to activate his Superpower to counterattack, but his power was like mud sinking into the sea against the black mist!

Utterly useless!

The black mist grew thicker, more bizarre!

The temperature plummeted, as if they had fallen into an icehouse!

Countless pale arms reached out from the black mist, grabbing at the burly men!

Those arms were like dried bones, with black, sharp nails!

"Help—!!!"

"Don't come any closer—!!!"

"Boss, save me—!!!"

The burly men fled madly, trying to rush out of the living room!

But the living room door had somehow been sealed shut by the black mist!

The windows were also covered by the mist!

They were trapped here!

No escape!
