Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold - Chapter 251: A Friend Comes from Afar
Lin Lang casually flicked his hand, and the fierce beast exploded!
Flesh and debris scattered, transforming into a rain of blood across the sky!
Lü Su Ran, Ding Xinrou, and the little girl were tightly wrapped in Lin Lang’s Spiritual Qi!
The flying flesh was kept at bay, not a trace tainted them!
The little girl, seeing this, her big bright eyes widened in disbelief and shock.
“Big… big brother! You actually… killed such a terrifying fierce beast in one blow! You’re incredible, much stronger than Uncle Niu!”
Lin Lang heard this, and a faint smile lifted the corners of his mouth.
…
After the little girl calmed down her emotions a bit, she spoke again:
“Thank you, big brother! If you hadn’t appeared in time to save me, I might have really been eaten by that terrifying fierce beast. I truly don’t know how to thank you.”
After speaking, she suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she enthusiastically invited:
“By the way, big brother! Why don’t you and these two pretty sisters come to my place as guests! It’s not far from here, my home has hot food and good wine brewed by Uncle Niu, you can come to rest a bit!”
Hearing this, Lin Lang’s heart moved.
He had just arrived in Qingfeng City not long ago and was unfamiliar with everything here; he happened to need a guide to learn more.
So, he smiled, nodded, and accepted the little girl’s invitation:
“Alright, we’ll impose on you then.”
Hearing this, the little girl was so happy she almost jumped up!
She bounced and skipped ahead, turning back to call Lin Lang and the others to follow, while excitedly introducing her home situation.
“My house is just on the other side of the woods; you will definitely like it there!”
Lin Lang and the others followed behind the little girl.
…
While the group was happily chatting and laughing on their way, Lü Su Ran suddenly stopped in her tracks and gently tugged on Lin Lang’s sleeve!
Her eyes showed a trace of anxiety and unease, as if hesitating about something.
Lin Lang noticed her odd behavior and gently asked:
“What’s wrong, Su Ran, is there something off?”
Lü Su Ran pursed her lips, stood on tiptoe, leaned close to Lin Lang’s ear, and whispered a sentence only he could hear!
However, after hearing it, Lin Lang just faintly smiled, his eyes revealing a sense of calm and confidence.
He gently patted the back of Lü Su Ran’s hand to comfort: “It’s okay.”
Beside them, Ding Xinrou stood coldly throughout, her gaze calm as water, seemingly indifferent to all of this.
She neither asked questions nor showed any sign of worry or curiosity.
Such demeanor actually made Lin Lang feel a bit relaxed.
After all, with Ding Xinrou around, the best part is peace of mind.
She doesn’t get startled by small things like other women, requiring Lin Lang to spend time explaining and comforting.
Thus, under Lin Lang’s lead, the group continued forward.
…
The little girl, with her naturally friendly personality, chatted with Lin Lang and the others along the way, creating a very cheerful atmosphere.
However, in contrast, Lü Su Ran seemed somewhat solemn.
Soon, they arrived at the place the little girl referred to as “home”—
An extremely rudimentary survivor base.
This base sat in a barren wasteland, with only a dilapidated building standing alone.
A simple defensive line of uneven wooden stakes surrounded the building; some stakes were already rotten, others broken.
Upon entering the base, an oppressive atmosphere rushed over them.
The living conditions here were extremely harsh, with dilapidated houses covered in cracks and stains on the walls as if they could collapse at any moment.
Facilities were utterly primitive, lacking modern appliances and sufficient food supplies, with only some shabby tents and simple stoves barely enough to shelter from the elements.
The people living here were in ragged clothes and looked haggard.
Among them were the elderly, children, and young people, but without exception, all appeared emaciated and exhausted.
The little girl eagerly shouted:
“Uncle Niu, look! I met a super amazing big brother on the road, and I brought them all back!”
As her voice fell, a large group of people immediately gathered around.
They curiously scrutinized Lin Lang and the others, their eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.
“Where did you come from?”
“It’s so dangerous outside, how did you make it here?”
…
At this moment!
A burly, resolute middle-aged man emerged from the crowd.
[Niu Wangchun]
[Combat Power: B+]
[Superpower: Rapid (Level 9); Burning Blood (Level 5)]
The little girl immediately cheered, calling out:
“Uncle Niu, you’re here!”
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, introducing himself:
“Hello, I am Niu Wangchun, the leader of this survivor base. Welcome to here!”
After speaking.
He then turned around and instructed his people to boil water and prepare a feast to entertain the guests.
The people, upon hearing this, showed excitement on their faces and began to move in an orderly and busy manner.
Lin Lang watched this scene, and couldn’t help but think to himself:
“You all are quite hospitable!”
Niu Wangchun heard this and laughed heartily, his laughter filled with cheerfulness and boldness.
He explained:
“Because resources are limited, our daily lives are usually quite difficult. Only when we have guests can they also get to improve their meals a bit.”
…
Lü Su Ran grew increasingly nervous.
Until Lin Lang gave her a reassuring look and smiled slightly.
Only then did her expression relax a little.
In no time!
A large pot of water was boiling hot, emitting steaming heat.
Niu Wangchun had some of his homemade wine brought over first, warmly entertaining Lin Lang and the others.
Seeing this, Lin Lang, using the excuse that “girls don’t like to drink,” drank Lü Su Ran’s and Ding Xinrou’s portions as well.
He downed the glass of wine in one go, displaying a bold spirit.
Witnessing this, a flicker of hunger and greed flashed in the eyes of the crowd.
Among them, someone whispered:
“Those two women are really beautiful!”
“Certainly must taste pretty good too!”
Their voices were low, but it was naturally impossible for them to escape Lin Lang’s ears.
However, Lin Lang seemed not to hear it, showing no reaction at all!
It was then that Niu Wangchun suddenly asked Lin Lang concernedly:
“Do you feel dizzy? The alcohol from my family might be a bit strong; if you’re feeling sleepy, just rest for a bit.”
Lin Lang shook his head with a smile, indicating that he was not sleepy at all.
However, his gaze became sharp, as if observing every person’s reaction around him.
Niu Wangchun noticed this, and his expression gradually turned serious.
He seemed to have already sensed Lin Lang’s alertness and extraordinariness.
At this moment, the other survivors couldn’t hold back any longer——
They surrounded Lin Lang and the others, their eyes flashing with greed and malice:
“Boss Niu, there are only three of them anyway, what are we afraid of! Let’s just go for it!”
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Ding Xinrou furrowed her brows!
Yet Lin Lang maintained his calm and smile.
He said lightly:
“No more pretending?”
Niu Wangchun’s face suddenly turned incredibly sullen:
“What do you mean by that?”
…
Lin Lang faintly smiled, his gaze filled with unyielding determination:
“I advise you all to drop these evil thoughts!”
Niu Wangchun sneered, his eyes flashing with ruthless light:
“Since you already know something’s off, how dare you still drink those three cups? You’re seeking death!”
How could he know!
At this moment, Lin Lang already possessed god-like power!
Those drugs were nothing but child’s play to him!
Lin Lang chuckled softly, with a hint of mockery in his tone:
“Give it a try, and you’ll know.”
Upon hearing this, Niu Wangchun let out an angry shout:
“Then I won’t be polite anymore!”
Before his words had finished, he charged towards Lin Lang like a ferocious beast, launching a fierce attack.
At this moment!
Lin Lang’s domain suddenly expanded, enveloping everyone around!
The Law of Time took effect in this instant, slowing Niu Wangchun’s movements by dozens of times!
Immediately after!
Lin Lang waved his hand lightly, using spiritual qi to press everyone to the ground, rendering them immobile!
The crowd was shocked, their eyes full of fear and disbelief!
They had never seen such powerful strength, as if Lin Lang were a god controlling their fate.
Niu Wangchun struggled, trying to break free of Lin Lang’s restraints, but his efforts were in vain.
Even!
His trump card—the “Burning Blood” ability, couldn’t be unleashed!
He looked at Lin Lang in terror, his voice trembling as he asked:
“Who… who are you exactly? Why have such powerful strength?”
Lin Lang smiled slightly, without answering his question.
