18: Chapter 18 War

Zhou Che glanced inside the vehicle. Lin Wan and Captain Liu Ruyan, two great beauties, were standing there quite prettily, each as lovely as a flower.

He lowered his head to look at the space inside the car; it was tiny, a place no bigger than a palm. Even turning around meant bumping into things, and he couldn't stretch out to do anything, which made him frown in frustration.

He immediately started thinking. Captain Wu Jue was already dead, so that specially modified off-road vehicle of his had essentially become his own war trophy!

That car looked like it had been expertly modified; stripping it for parts to upgrade his own beloved vehicle couldn't be more perfect.

Zhou Che was a man of action. He drove his car directly next to Captain Wu Jue's modified off-road vehicle, rolled up his sleeves, and started dismantling it.

Bulletproof tempered glass, a high-power modified engine, and he even managed to strip out a vehicle-mounted machine gun, along with a full air filtration system!

The more Zhou Che dismantled, the more pleasantly surprised he became. He couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Is this really a car from the apocalypse? The configuration is way too luxurious and top-tier!"

Without delay, he piled all these top-tier parts and installed them onto his own vehicle.

Not only that, but he also got to work extending and widening his beloved car, forcibly transforming it into a massive beast six meters long, three meters wide, and three meters high.

After the modifications, one could finally stand up straight inside the vehicle, and the original bed was also widened, making it spacious enough for two or three people to sleep.

A small refrigerator, an ice maker, and large-capacity storage cabinets were all installed, allowing all sorts of supplies to be packed to the brim.

Zhou Che circled his modified vehicle twice; the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he felt.

The night was deep, and the nights after the apocalypse were eerily quiet. Ruan Xiaoxiao stepped on the rubble scattered everywhere, stumbling her way over to Zhou Che's modified off-road vehicle.

Earlier at dawn, Zhou Che had told her to come to his vehicle at night.

The meaning behind his words was something any adult would understand.

Ruan Xiaoxiao looked down at herself. Although she had an innocent, loli-like face, her body was truly fully developed. What was meant to happen would happen, and she had long since prepared herself mentally.

Just as she reached the car door, Ruan Xiaoxiao looked through the half-lowered window and immediately spotted the two great beauties sitting inside: Lin Wan and Captain Liu Ruyan.

Goodness, these two had looks that rivaled her cousin's, both pure and seductive.

Lin Wan was sharp-eyed. As soon as she saw Ruan Xiaoxiao approaching, she immediately and sensibly unbuckled her seatbelt and pushed the door open to get out:

"Um… Xiaoxiao is here. I'll go out and get some fresh air first, so I won't disturb the two of you enjoying your time together."

"Come back! Who told you to leave?"

Before Lin Wan could even stand steady, her wrist was grabbed by Zhou Che, who yanked her right back into her seat. Zhou Che's tone was extremely domineering, leaving no room for refusal.

Ruan Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then opened the car door and plopped herself inside.

She couldn't help but complain wildly in her heart: "Damn it, I knew we were going to do that tonight; I've been mentally preparing myself the whole way here."

"But I never expected that you, Zhou Che, would turn up the intensity right from the start? Who could handle this!"

Zhou Che leaned back in the driver's seat, his gaze sweeping over the women without restraint.

He felt wonderful inside, positively blooming with joy.

Thinking back, he, Zhou Che, used to be just a miserable corporate slave, working overtime every day until he was exhausted like a dog, and when he had free time, he could only watch videos in front of his computer, fantasizing about scenes that only existed in his dreams.

Who could have imagined that the absurd dreams he never had the chance to realize before the apocalypse would actually come true now that the apocalypse had arrived and order had collapsed! This life was simply more enjoyable than being an immortal!

...

It was unknown how long the great battle had lasted, but Zhou Che finally collapsed onto the seat, entering his sage mode.

He panted heavily, looking at the three women sprawled out, a satisfied, wicked smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

Ruan Xiaoxiao was curled up in the corner, her chest heaving, yet her eyes carried a strange trace of excitement.

"Time to get to work." Zhou Che suddenly spoke, his voice turning cold. He grabbed Captain Liu Ruyan's chin, his fingertips tracing the undried beads of sweat on her neck,

"I will grant you the Pathfinder Sequence; the job of a Guide will be left to you."

Captain Liu Ruyan shuddered, her eyes filling with surprise and wild joy.

In an instant, a strange light burst from within her body, and her bones made crisp cracking sounds. When the light faded, she had already stood up, her aura having undergone a heaven-and-earth transformation.

"Mr. Zhou… this power…" Captain Liu Ruyan's voice trembled as she clenched her fists, feeling the extraordinary power surging within her.

Things she wouldn't have dared to imagine before the apocalypse had now become reality. She exchanged a glance with Lin Wan, both seeing the same thought in each other's eyes: Following the right person was worth it.

"Stop dawdling, lead the way!" Zhou Che narrowed his eyes, looking outside the vehicle. Deep in the ruins in the distance, black mist was quietly writhing, emitting a stench like rotting corpses.

"Something weird is approaching. We can't stay in this damn place."

Captain Liu Ruyan nodded and pushed open the car door, leaping out. The night wind whipped up her long hair, and a faint silver light already radiated from her body.
