Chapter 250 Extra: Parallel World (7)
Because her boss has a very jealous wife, Zhou Yuan in this world successfully defeated a group of white, rich and beautiful women with her black, fat and ugly appearance to become the boss's personal secretary. In addition to assisting the boss in handling the company's business and arranging various schedules, she also has to drive the boss, cook, clean the house, take care of the pets, pick up the children, and carry bags when the boss's wife is shopping, etc. Even when the boss and his family come to the holiday villa for fun, she still follows them and serves them without complaint, and then the end of the world comes.
Now the boss's family has all turned into zombies or died in the mouths of zombies, but Zhou Yuan was lucky enough to escape many crises and ran into this building with these people. Except for two or three people chatting around, everyone else was a scumbag, but fortunately she was ugly, and running and killing among the zombies made her look even more embarrassed. In the past, she shed so many tears because of her appearance, and now she feels so lucky for the same reason. No one is willing to look at her a second time, and no one has dirty ideas about her. Similarly, no one is willing to spare a little time to take care of her.
But Zhou Yuan was quick and hardworking, and could use extremely limited resources to take care of everything. Looking around, among a group of masters and ladies who were used to being served, he was the only one who seemed to be working all the time. After getting used to Zhou Yuan's existence, even now when food was scarce and many people were starving, the men who had the power to speak did not deduct Zhou Yuan's food and water. Even when facing zombies, they would rather push away the delicate little beauty who followed them, and would help Zhou Yuan.
In this closed environment, everyone is observing others and being observed by others. Even if they don’t say it normally, they all know who is useful to them.
But Zhou Yuan never expected that she would meet Rong Yuan again at this time after not seeing him for several years. Her eyes suddenly burst into brilliant light, but it disappeared in just a moment. She lowered her head and grasped the corner of her clothes nervously, and there was no expression on her dark face.
Rong Yuan suddenly remembered the first time he saw her on the rooftop. An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Without looking at her again, he turned to Zhou Jing and said, "The zombies outside have been cleared out. It's safe now. Is there any place you want to go?"
First ask Zhou Jing where she is going. If it is not consistent with your own goal, you can just say "goodbye" and then go your separate ways. Although Zhou Jing has good abilities and good character, if there is any additional cost, forget it. Compared to her, Rong Yuan is more interested in Shi Xingchen beside her, but he did not show this.
Zhou Jing's expression became increasingly bitter. She was silent for a while, then said, "My family already has... a cousin in City B, but we don't even know if he's alive or dead. I was planning to try my luck, but, but... I... I want to ask..."
She glanced at Rong Yuan quickly, but could not stammer out the next words. "Can I go with you?" In the past, she would have said it as a joke, but for some reason, Rong Yuan in front of her always made her feel a sense of intimidation and oppression, and she could not find any warmth from the past. This almost begging word was bitten in her mouth and could not be uttered.
Her thoughts were written on her face. Rong Yuan interrupted her and said, "Okay, I agree." Seeing Zhou Jing suddenly open her eyes wide, breathe a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but smile, Rong Yuan added, "But you must follow my instructions in all actions - can you do it?"
He seemed to be joking, but there was a hint of seriousness in his tone, and there was no smile in his eyes. Zhou Jing involuntarily straightened his back and said solemnly: "Understood!"
Rong Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and glanced at Shi Xingchen, who was leaning against the wall with an abnormal blush on his face, and asked, "What about you?"
The man's eyes were a little dazed, but he responded quickly with a smile and said, "If I stay like this, I'll die. It would be great if this guy could take me with him. What should I call him?"
He knew that the young man in front of him was called Rong Yuan, but what if he had a special preference for certain titles? For example, "Young Master Rong", "Brother Yuan", "Boss", "Boss" and so on. He didn't think he could call him by his first name like Zhou Jing. In the relationship chain of the survival of the fittest, a careless detail could lead to death.
However, his second question was still neglected by Rong Yuan, because after he spoke, the people who had been trying to be polite and not disturb others gathered around him, asking for a guide, sponsorship, and escort, and even promised various benefits like a competition. Some even threatened and bribed him with their relatives in the safe zone. Rong Yuan was annoyed and didn't hear what Shi Xingchen asked. If it weren't for the fact that saving people was just a matter of convenience and there was merit in it, he wouldn't care about these guys who were tall and strong but never thought about saving themselves. What's more, after seeing the situation inside the room, he didn't need to ask more questions. He also knew how these people survived during this period. They didn't even bother to talk to them, let alone have any plans to rescue them.
Rong Yuan's face darkened, and he swung the knife in his hand fiercely, accurately slashing the necks of several people around him. In the shallow scratches, red liquid hesitated for a moment and then flowed out, flowing down the stiff necks. Several people were all shocked and didn't even have time to scream. They covered their necks and sat down on the ground, feeling that the god of death was still licking their throats.
Almost, just almost, they were all going to be killed by the man in front of them.
Even Zhou Jing was stunned by this unexpected development. Even when she was most angry, she never thought of really killing these people. And Rong Yuan did it without saying anything? He really did it?
However, Shi Xingchen behind her suddenly woke up from his drowsiness. His eyes revealed a look as if he had seen some treasure, and the smile on his face became more sincere.
Zhou Yuan... Zhou Yuan had not yet recovered from the joy of reunion and the shame she felt. Her only thought about this scene was: "...Ah, so handsome!"
"Kill, murder!!!" A girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old who was sitting on the ground suddenly woke up and screamed. Rong Yuan glanced at her and the scream that seemed to shatter glass was immediately cut off.
Rong Yuan said coldly: "Get lost!"
He was filled with murderous aura like Shura. Everyone realized that the man in front of them was not a knight who came to save people in danger, but an evil star who would kill people at the slightest disagreement. They hurriedly ran away, not daring to say a word of dissatisfaction.
Rong Yuan stayed in the parallel world longer this time than last time. He originally planned to rest here for one night and set out again tomorrow morning, but now it seems better to leave immediately. He directed everyone to move the furniture blocking the door. As expected, Zhou Yuan was used as a laborer again. Two other girls could carry a stool for half a day, but she dragged a long sofa to the side swiftly by herself, and pushed the wardrobe regardless of her heavy breathing. None of the men could compare to her.
Rong Yuan just watched coldly. Zhou Jing wanted to say something, but Shi Xingchen put one hand on her shoulder and shook his head.
Although there were many lazy people, more than a dozen people worked together and quickly cleared the road to the door. Not far from the door, the off-road vehicle that Rong Yuan drove was parked. It was full of things, and it was obvious that there was a lot of food and water. Everyone was very envious, but under Rong Yuan's deterrence, no one was stupid enough to come out and commit suicide.
"Let's go." Rong Yuan said, and left first. Zhou Jing glared at Shi Xingchen angrily, took two steps forward fiercely, and heard the man behind him holding back his painful breathing and moving very hard. In the end, she couldn't bear it, so she turned back and took his arm and walked out the door together.
The others stood by the door, looking at them eagerly, their faces showing uncontrollable desire, but when Rong Yuan looked over, they could not help but shrink their necks and lower their eyes, not daring to look him in the eye. Zhou Yuan stammered for a moment, and finally lowered his head deeply.
Everyone knew that in this era of zombies, following such a strong man was the best hope for survival, but they were more afraid of Rong Yuan's attitude of treating human life as worthless. Some people also hoped to search for some remaining supplies in the holiday villa that had been cleared of zombies - maybe they could even run a farm or something!
Rong Yuan sneered at their optimistic expectations or wild fantasies, but didn't say much. He just said, "Zhou Yuan, what are you standing there for? Why don't you catch up!"
Everyone looked at the sweaty girl in surprise...or rather, the female warrior.
“Ah… me?” Zhou Yuan was also surprised and pointed at himself stupidly. Seeing that Rong Yuan’s eyes had turned impatient, he quickly responded, “Oh oh oh, here I come.”
She forgot everything and ran towards Rong Yuan, her fat body undulating, very spectacular. Zhou Jing was stunned, Shi Xingchen touched his chin playfully, looking thoughtful, even forgetting the pain.
After leaving the villa far behind in the passenger seat, Zhou Yuan still looked dazed as if in a dream. She couldn't even imagine that Rong Yuan knew her name, and that she could become his companion at this time. This was something she had never dreamed of. She secretly glanced at Rong Yuan, but didn't dare to ask why, for fear that Rong Yuan would suddenly realize how terrible she was and kick her out of the car.
Seeing that the girl seemed to have reappeared the state of constant self-abasement she had in the past, Rong Yuan sighed silently, feeling that he still had a long way to go.
He knew very well that the three people sitting in his car were not the same people he had known before. But considering the seemingly meager but still existing connection in the past, he wanted to give these people a chance and was willing to believe in their abilities and character.
No matter how much training and preparation this world's "Rong Yuan" has done before, he is still in danger in this doomsday environment. He needs reliable partners, a solid team, abundant supplies and a base for development. With his ability, it is not difficult to develop a large-scale force on a certain basis, but it is the most dangerous to be alone in the early stage. Rong Yuan plans to take advantage of this period of time to complete this part of his early accumulation for him.
——Suddenly he realized that the person he was most willing to take care of and protect was actually himself.
——Is this narcissism? Rong Yuan thought uncertainly.
