7: Chapter 7 bestows upon Lin Wan the Blood Moon Lord sequence.

In the apocalypse, a sense of security is more important than anything else.

Zhou Che gave her that security. When that group tried to steal the fish this morning, Zhou Che had backed her up by exploding the leader's head with a single punch, making her feel incredibly at ease.

She knew that the stronger Zhou Che was, the more stable her life would be in this apocalypse.

Ever since Zhou Che started protecting her, the way the surrounding survivors looked at her was filled with genuine respect; no one dared to eye her casually or covet her anymore.

Those who used to try and butter her up didn't even dare to breathe too loudly now.

Instead, a few clever ones secretly slipped her some candy or small scraps of cloth, hoping to stay on her good side.

This feeling of being feared and catered to allowed Lin Wan to regain the confidence she had before the apocalypse.

Before the end of the world, she was a great beauty sought after by everyone, surrounded by people eager to please her.

Though that glory was gone, she now had Zhou Che's protection, which felt even more grounding than before.

Because this was a feeling brought about by raw, tangible power.

Lin Wan lowered her head to stir the soup in the pot, a sense of dependence quietly blossoming in her heart.

After the meal, Zhou Che gave her a look; Lin Wan understood instantly and followed him immediately.

As the car door closed, it shut out the gazes of the crowd outside, turning this small space into another world entirely.

The light in the cabin was dim, and the air seemed to freeze, leaving only the sound of their heavy breathing.

Zhou Che leaned back in the seat, his eyes deep and dark, like a beast that had been dormant for a long time and had finally found an outlet.

Since the apocalypse began, he hadn't had a release; now, the two of them were like dry tinder and a raging fire, igniting at the slightest touch.

Lin Wan was very perceptive; without needing any unnecessary words, she gently shifted her body and leaned toward him.

Their eyes met, and without a word, a primal, wild desire was instantly ignited.

Damn, this woman was practically a stunner tailor-made for him.

There wasn't a hint of extra fat where it should be flat, yet she was amazingly curvy where it counted.

Faint light shone into the car, presenting a beautiful scene before Zhou Che's eyes.

“You’ve been holding back for a long time, haven’t you?” Lin Wan’s eyes were seductive, her voice trembling slightly.

Zhou Che didn't speak, only letting out a low growl as he responded directly with action.

Having been suppressed for so long, there was no need for foreplay; he was like a starving wolf, fiercely venting the heat within his body.

She never imagined that a man with Transcendent power would be so formidable.

It felt like parched grass finally welcoming a rainstorm, drinking thirstily from the roots; every inch of her cells was shivering and cheering.

The fierce battle lasted a long time, until both were exhausted.

When it was over, Lin Wan was like a puddle of soft mud, slumped in Zhou Che's arms, her body drenched in sweat.

She gasped for air, her eyes glazed, but a satisfied smile hung on the corner of her lips.

She knew that from this moment on, she was completely inseparable from this man.

Zhou Che held her, feeling the warm, fragrant beauty in his arms; his mood had improved considerably.

Since this woman was so sensible and knew how to serve him well, he couldn't treat her poorly.

He needed to arrange a Sequence for her to ensure her absolute devotion and make things more convenient in the future.

Which Sequence would be good? Mechanic?

No, although that class could build things, its combat power was too weak; he'd have to protect her himself when they went out to fight, which was too much trouble.

Zhou Che narrowed his eyes as several options flashed through his mind, finally settling on a powerful Sequence—Lord of the Blood Moon.

This was a good one; it not only significantly boosted physical constitution but also had incredible combat power. He had tested it a bit today, blowing a survivor's head apart with one punch.

“What are you thinking about?” Lin Wan felt Zhou Che's silence and gently rubbed against his chest.

“I'm giving you a gift,” Zhou Che said indifferently, thinking to himself, ‘System, bestow the Lord of the Blood Moon Sequence to Lin Wan.’

“Ding! Sequence bestowal successful.”

As the system notification sounded, a massive surge of blood-colored energy instantly flooded into Lin Wan's body.

Just as he finished speaking, an eerie, crimson shimmer abruptly lit up on Lin Wan's body.

The red light wasn't blinding, but it carried a heart-palpitating enchantment, like a thin veil wrapping around her still-shivering body.

Lin Wan was stunned, her mind going blank for a moment.

She had just experienced an extreme pleasure, her body still in the numb afterglow; how did she suddenly awaken a Sequence?

This was too ridiculous; wasn't awakening supposed to be a matter of luck or appearance?

She instinctively looked up and met Zhou Che's deep eyes.

Zhou Che didn't say anything, just looked at her with a half-smile, then gave her a mischievous wink.

That look contained a bit of teasing and a bit of 'you understand' depth.

Lin Wan was a smart woman; seeing Zhou Che's calm demeanor, as if he had just drunk a glass of water, she instantly realized what happened.

“This... was you?” She opened her mouth, her voice still raspy from their session.

“Shh.” Zhou Che pressed two fingers directly against her lips, interrupting her question.

“Just know it in your heart; don't go spreading it around. I gave you power so you can work hard for me, not to be a mascot.”

Lin Wan's pupils shrank, and her heart pounded. Zhou Che could actually help someone awaken a Sequence?

What kind of international joke was this!

In this damned apocalypse, awakening a Sequence was a gift from the heavens; how many people spent their lives struggling at the threshold for a chance, yet Zhou Che could arrange it with just a thought?

This wasn't just a heaven-defying ability; this was practically holding the source code of the world! A total protagonist template—no, this was even more powerful than a protagonist!

Lin Wan looked at the man before her, her gaze completely changed.

If following Zhou Che before was for survival, now, she had latched onto a truly legendary powerhouse—a diamond-encrusted one at that.

“I understand, Mr. Zhou.”

Lin Wan took a deep breath, a trace of fanaticism flashing in her eyes.

“From now on, if anyone dares to be disrespectful to you, I'll let them know how hard my fists are.”

The way she looked at Zhou Che now was so intense it was practically dripping with affection.

This feeling of being completely controlled by a powerful man and then being gifted power caused certain hormones and a sense of worship to ferment wildly within her.

Feeling the blood-colored power surging within her, Lin Wan instinctively began to absorb the newly arrived Sequence energy.

Looking back at Zhou Che, even 'deeply in love' wasn't enough to describe her current state.

Who was Zhou Che? He was a Transcendent with extremely sharp senses.

Feeling the high fighting spirit from her, as well as the woman's undisguised longing, the fire he had just suppressed was instantly reignited.

“Just got fed and you're hungry again?” Zhou Che sneered, his gaze instantly becoming full of aggression.

“Fine, since you have the energy, let's not waste it.”

Before his voice could fade, another storm broke out inside the car; this time, it was even fiercer and wilder than before.
