Chapter 296: Chapter 285: A Young Wife Who Knows a Foreign Language Sure Knows How to Play...

"Brother Mengde, I’m leaving my sister to you."

In truth, Jiang Haibing only made this decision because of what his sister had just whispered in his ear.

He’d noticed the strange way his sister was looking at Mengde, and Yueran was the one who explained it.

"Brother, Mengde saved both of us."

"I... I kind of like him..."

It was only after his sister’s confirmation that Jiang Haibing had said such a thing.

However, these words left Mengde, standing there, completely flustered.

’What on earth are this brother and sister talking about?’

’I have absolutely no clue!’

Before he could make sense of it, Jiang Haibing collapsed right in front of him.

It seemed the injuries from Li Gang’s earlier beatdown were finally taking their toll.

"Brother!!!"

As the officer cried out in alarm, Mengde immediately began to heal him.

Jiang Haibing lay in a room at the Public Security Bureau, a gruesome knife wound gaping on his chest.

Blood had soaked through his clothes, and his breathing was so faint it had nearly stopped.

Mengde strode forward, knelt on one knee, and placed his palm over the wound, whispering,

"Brace yourself."

A faint green light glowed from Mengde’s fingertips as his Wood Superpower seeped into the wound like a gentle stream.

The muscles around the wound began to knit together. Severed blood vessels reconnected like creeping vines, blood began to flow back into them, and the torn tissue slowly mended.

Jiang Haibing let out a muffled groan, cold sweat beading on his forehead, but his breathing gradually steadied.

Mengde’s brow was furrowed in concentration. The drain on his Superpower was immense, and his arm trembled slightly, but he kept a steady control over the Healing Power.

Nearby plants stirred without a breeze, their leaves rustling as if responding to his power.

Mengde took a deep breath, and the green light in his palm flared.

The skin over Jiang Haibing’s wound grew and closed at a visible rate.

Finally, the wound vanished completely, leaving not even a scar.

He pulled his hand back, his face a little pale, but a faint smile played on his lips.

"You’re fine now."

Jiang Haibing opened his eyes, a weak smile tugging at his lips.

"Thanks, Brother Mengde."

Mengde nodded.

He pushed the door open to let Qin Yueran, who was waiting outside, come in.

The woman had been worried sick about her brother.

After leaving the siblings to themselves, Mengde returned to his RV.

’I used up so much of my Superpower just now. Time to recharge...’

"Ah, darling."

"You’re back again already... Mmph..."

Stroking the hair of the woman beneath him, Mengde broke into a satisfied grin.

’As expected, the young wife who speaks a foreign language really knows what she’s doing...’

’Her technique... is getting better and better...’

...........

After dealing with Li Gang and, while he was at it, saving Jiang Haibing, Mengde prepared to take his women and return to Yulong Base.

The trip off the island had been nothing short of perfect.

He had cleared out all four major districts of East Sea City.

Basically, there were no forces left in all of East Sea City that could stand against Gao’s Base or Jiang Haibing’s group.

Naturally, he no longer needed to remain stationed there.

He had also left behind Brother Jingfu and Lei Qiang, both of whom had broken through to Tier Nine.

One for each, a little help from Mengde for Jiang Haibing’s and Gao Qiang’s respective bases.

Oh, and it was worth mentioning that after Jiang Haibing had weeded out the bad apples among the public security guards, he had re-established his Survivor Base—the East Sea City Public Security Brigade!

It carried on a similar name, but its mission was completely different.

According to Jiang Haibing, he planned to continue searching for survivors in East Sea City.

However, unlike Li Gang and his cronies, he wouldn’t be abusing the survivors he found.

Instead, he planned to overcome the apocalypse together with them.

It had to be said that even after so much time had passed since the apocalypse began, Jiang Haibing still carried a sense of duty and responsibility.

Mengde didn’t try to stop him, though.

He understood Jiang Haibing.

’The apocalypse still needs a little humanity!’

’Otherwise, we’re no different from animals.’

To help Gao Qiang and Jiang Haibing search for survivors more efficiently, and to prevent any conflict between them, Mengde had deliberately divided East Sea City.

The East and North Districts went to Jiang Haibing.

The West and South Districts went to Gao Qiang’s Gao’s Base.

After all, they were both connected to him, and he didn’t want to see the two bases fall into conflict.

And the reason they were both connected to him...

’...was because both of them might just become my brothers-in-law!’

’No, to be precise, Gao Qiang is already my brother-in-law.’

’He already had Gao Lan, that man-eating ice queen, wrapped around his little finger.’

’Especially after the "loving nourishment" he’d given the ice queen last night...’

’As for Jiang Haibing, Mengde had noticed something was off with the officer, Qin Yueran.’

’For the past two days, the officer had been giving him strange looks.’

’She would even blush for no apparent reason.’

’Who said female cops were all cold and aloof?’

’This one is obviously passionate and fiery!’

When it was time for Mengde to part ways with Jiang Haibing and the others, the officer had boarded his RV without a word.

He didn’t even have to ask.

Her forwardness took him by surprise.

And yet, the officer was still acting so aloof.

"Aren’t we leaving? What are you waiting for?"

Those two questions left Mengde stunned for a good while.

’This cop actually wants him to "drive"?’

After looking the officer up and down, Mengde decided he would ’discipline’ her properly once they got back to the base.

Yes!

’This woman... she’s too fiery. She needs to be... pacified.’

And so, as Jiang Haibing gave him a knowing look, Mengde gave a half-understanding nod in return.

’It seemed what Jiang Haibing asked him to do yesterday—to take care of his sister—was finally about to come true!’

’Yesterday’s words felt more like he was entrusting his child to me on his deathbed.’

The thought of it made Mengde suddenly feel that something was off about the sky today.

He looked up at the hazy, gray sky.

Scorching sunlight struggled to pierce the thick cloud cover, casting down a pale, sickly light.

The light was no longer warm!

Instead, it had a morbid pallor, as if filtered through the dust of the apocalypse.

The buildings lining the streets were already in ruins.

Shattered glass, peeling walls.

Mottled graffiti and dried bloodstains were a silent testament to the chaos that had transpired.

It was against this backdrop that the Goddess RV slowly rolled through the empty streets.

Its tires crunched over broken glass and discarded debris.

The body was covered in reinforced steel plates, the windows were welded with wire mesh, and the solar panels on its roof glinted coldly in the faint light.

The engine’s hum was low and restrained, as if deliberately trying not to disturb the dangers lurking in the shadows.

Zombies wandered the streets everywhere.

They dragged their rotting bodies, shambling about without purpose.

Like ghostly, walking corpses.

This was the scene that greeted Mengde as he began his journey back to Yulong Base.

Compared to the scorching sun he had seen before, this felt much more like a true apocalypse.

No, that wasn’t right. It was that the apocalypse had become even more terrifying.

"Darling, I have a bad feeling about this."

Cheng Ying didn’t need to say more; Mengde’s expression had already darkened.

He immediately activated his Telekinesis Perception, only to see a scene that left him utterly shocked...
