153: Chapter 153 "Marrying Jiang Xiaowan will allow me to become the king of the apocalypse."
"Fire!"
When Pang Heihu roared these two words, his voice was already hoarse.
The machine guns on the roofs of the vehicles simultaneously turned toward the street entrance.
Tongues of fire riddled the front row of zombies with bullets, causing them to fall in swathes.
But the Zombie Horde behind them did not stop.
They trampled over the corpses of their own kind, pushing forward.
The first row fell.
The second row filled the gap.
The second row fell.
The third row continued to crawl forward.
The expressions of Pang Heihu's subordinates changed.
"Damn it, didn't the Zombie King have an agreement with the military? Why are they coming out now?"
"The family has already contacted headquarters! Hold on!"
A few subordinates began throwing Molotov cocktails.
Some even forced bleeding refugees to run in different directions, attempting to distract the Zombie Horde.
Lin Motong stood in the center of the path cleared by the Zombie Horde, holding the violent bear.
She raised a finger.
The Zombie Horde at the left street entrance suddenly stopped.
The D-rank Elite Zombie at the right street entrance crawled along the base of the wall, circling toward the flank of Pang Heihu's convoy.
A gunman had just reloaded when his ankle was grabbed.
He looked down.
A greenish-gray face poked out from under the car.
"Ah—"
The scream had barely started when the Zombie Horde pounced onto the armored vehicle.
Pang Heihu smashed the car door with a punch.
"Hold your ground! I'll kill whoever retreats!"
Lin Yuan walked out from the Zombie Horde.
In the Jiang Family courtyard, no one dared to make a sound.
Jiang Xiaowan stood below the steps, a slap mark still visible on her face.
When she saw Lin Yuan, her tense shoulders finally slumped a little.
Jiang Xiaowan sniffled hard.
"You jerk."
"You're so slow."
[Ding! Target Jiang Xiaowan (Beauty 92), Favorability +5%, Current Favorability: 30%.]
Wang Ya raised her hand.
The fire pipes in the villa area burst open.
Sewage from the underground drainage ditches, clean water from the vehicle water tanks, and stagnant water from the courtyard fountain were all drawn out simultaneously.
The water lines burrowed under the armored vehicles.
Hiss.
The tires of the first vehicle detached.
The fuel lines of the second vehicle were severed.
The machine gun on top of the third vehicle was coiled by the water flow, its barrel bent into scrap metal.
A few gunmen still tried to pull the triggers, but the sound of the chambers exploding knocked them over.
Pang Heihu watched the stalled convoy, the flesh on his face twitching.
He suddenly turned and lunged toward Jiang Xiaowan.
"Don't anyone move!"
He was very fast.
His B-rank Superpower erupted, cracking the floor tiles.
Jiang Xiaowan's hands were tied, and she couldn't dodge at all.
The next second.
Number Seven, a B-rank Mutant, sprang out.
She was like a launched cannonball, crashing into Pang Heihu.
Bang!
Two figures collided in the center of the courtyard.
Pang Heihu took half a step back.
Number Seven flew backward, kicked off the wall, and pounced back.
Pang Heihu growled, steel-colored hard blocks emerging beneath his skin.
"B-rank?"
He threw a punch.
Number Seven crossed her arms to block it firmly, the steel plates of her protective suit denting.
She felt no pain.
After being knocked back, she grinned and pounced again.
The Jiang Family members lay on the ground, trembling.
Pang Heihu became more and more annoyed the longer he fought.
He had intended to take a hostage, but ended up entangled with a Zombie Girl.
This script wasn't right.
Lin Motong watched for a while and tilted her head.
"Noisy."
She looked at Pang Heihu.
A red light lit up in her eyes.
Pang Heihu's movements suddenly stopped.
His brain felt like it had been pressed into ice water by a hand.
The courtyard in front of him disappeared.
He saw himself standing on an endless street.
Everywhere around him were zombies.
Every single zombie had his face.
The next second.
Number Seven pounced on him and stepped on his wrist.
Crack.
The bone snapped.
Pang Heihu screamed and fell to his knees.
The people in the courtyard finally realized that the mighty Tiger Lord from just moments ago hadn't even put up a fight.
Wang Ya looked at her daughter.
"Tongtong, why didn't you say you could do this?"
"I always thought you were a delicate little flower."
Lin Motong blinked.
"Mom, you didn't ask."
Wang Ya was speechless for a moment.
Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze.
SS-rank [Paradox of Reality and Illusion].
Controlling zombies was just the surface.
What was truly dangerous about this child was her brain.
Pang Heihu was stepped on the ground, still trying to struggle.
Number Seven looked down at Lin Motong.
Lin Motong shook her head.
Number Seven wiped her drool and snapped Pang Heihu's other hand.
The scream reached the street entrance.
Lin Yuan then walked toward Jiang Xiaowan.
He did not hug her.
Nor did he say any words of comfort.
His gaze landed on her lower abdomen.
"Are you sure it's mine?"
Jiang Xiaowan's face turned pale.
Everyone in the courtyard lowered their heads, wishing they could plug their ears.
Jiang Xiaowan looked up at him.
"I swear on my life and the child's life."
Her voice trembled, but she did not dodge.
"From start to finish, I've only had you as my man."
Lin Yuan looked at her.
In his past and present lives, he had no children.
Su Xiaonuan, Wang Ya, and Qin Yumo had been with him longer, yet none of them had gotten pregnant.
Yet Jiang Xiaowan got pregnant in one shot?
This child's arrival was abnormal.
But abnormal didn't mean he didn't like it.
Lin Yuan reached out and untied the ropes on Jiang Xiaowan's wrists.
"Go back and have Su Muxue give you a check-up."
Jiang Xiaowan's fingertips twitched.
Lin Yuan continued, "If it's mine, I will naturally take responsibility."
He didn't say the second half of the sentence.
Jiang Chengye saw this scene, and his sensitivity as a long-time political figure made him react quickly.
He crawled over, scrambling, and raised his hand to slap himself.
Slap!
"It's all a misunderstanding!"
Slap!
"Xiaowan is the apple of the Jiang Family's eye; how could we possibly harm her?"
Jiang Hao also crawled over on his knees.
"It was Pang Heihu who forced us!"
"We've been protecting Xiaowan all along!"
"The porridge she ate was made by people I ordered!"
Jiang Xiaowan looked at him.
"You had people put drugs in the porridge."
Jiang Hao's expression froze.
Jiang Xiaowan pointed at Jiang Chengye.
"My dad's injury was his doing."
General Manager Jiang Xiong was lying to the side.
His mouth was full of blood. He raised his head and looked at Lin Yuan.
"Treat... Xiaowan better."
"Don't worry about me."
Jiang Chengye's expression changed.
"Big Brother, you've lost your mind!"
General Manager Jiang Xiong laughed, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"I've been muddled my whole life."
"Only at the very end did I see clearly that the Jiang Family was raising wolves."
Lin Yuan turned his head.
"Mo Tong."
Lin Motong raised her hand.
Two Zombie Girls walked out and dragged Jiang Chengye and Jiang Hao away.
Jiang Chengye screamed.
"Mr. Lin! I am Xiaowan's uncle! I am family!"
Lin Yuan didn't even look at him; he just waved his hand at Lin Motong.
A red light flashed in Lin Motong's eyes.
The remaining Zombie Girls immediately surrounded them.
When Jiang Chengye saw this, his pants were soaked.
"I was wrong!"
"Xiaowan, Uncle was wrong!"
"I'm still useful! I can mobilize the Zhe City troops!"
"I can help you take over Zhe City!"
Lin Yuan looked at him.
"Mobilize troops?"
Jiang Chengye acted as if he had grabbed a lifeline.
"Yes! There are still three units in Zhe City, nearly ten thousand people, plus a grain depot, and an underground command post!"
"If you kill me, they won't obey you!"
Lin Yuan raised his hand.
A Zombie Girl dragged Jiang Chengye up to the second-floor balcony of the villa.
Jiang Chengye was pressed against the railing.
He looked up.
In every direction, there was nothing but a Zombie Horde.
A sea of black, dense zombies filled the entire city district.
Further away, even larger Mutants were swaying in the mist.
They did not charge.
They did not roar.
They were just waiting for a word from Lin Motong.
Lin Yuan stood in the courtyard, looking up at him.
"Help me count how many zombies are here."
Jiang Chengye opened his mouth.
Not a single word came out.
He collapsed on the ground, the sewage beneath him flowing down the balcony.
Pang Heihu was also dragged into the courtyard.
His hands were broken, and his face was pressed against the ground.
He finally lost the airs of Tiger Lord.
"This big brother... no, this master..."
"I don't want to marry her."
Lin Yuan looked over.
Pang Heihu hurriedly said, "Really! I have so many wives, I don't need her!"
Jiang Xiaowan looked at him coldly.
Pang Heihu dared not look at her, only staring at Lin Yuan.
"Someone made me come."
Lin Yuan frowned, "Who?"
Pang Heihu swallowed his saliva.
"If I tell you, can you let me go?"
With a look from Lin Motong, Number Seven immediately opened her bloody maw, the drool almost dripping onto Pang Heihu's face.
"Someone from the Capital."
"He didn't say his name."
"But he said one thing to me."
Lin Yuan walked up to him.
Pang Heihu lowered his voice.
"He said—"
"Marrying Jiang Xiaowan can make me the king of the apocalypse."
