Apocalypse: I’m the Landlady of the Refuge
Chapter 140: Dedicate Your Body to the Lord

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Dedicate Your Body to the Lord

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The heavy door slowly opened. Under the threat of firearms, Ji Wanwan and her companion entered the Corpse Refining Factory. A familiar rancid smell assaulted their senses, and the zombies’ howling also became clear at this moment.

Another roar sounded, the gate slowly closed, and the sound of it locking echoed through the air.

The hallway fell into darkness, lit only by the flickering light from the wall lamps.

Lin Changhe watched Ji Wanwan and her companion as if enjoying a show.

When he realized that the two were calm and composed, showing no sign of panic, Lin Changhe found himself unable to unleash the mockery that had almost escaped his lips.

Angered and embarrassed, he spat fiercely, unable to hide his tyrannical nature anymore, "Damn it, why the pretense! I’ve never seen anyone enter here without being scared!"

Ji Wanwan felt like laughing.

Is this it?

These were merely leftovers played with by the Baize Union, and he thought it worth boasting about?

Xu Siming didn’t give him any face either, "That’s because you lack experience. You should get out more; otherwise, it’s easy to become the butt of a joke."

Lin Changhe: "?"

Realizing Xu Siming was taunting him, Lin Changhe grew even angrier.

He drew his handgun from his waist, and before Xu Siming could act, he grabbed Ji Wanwan, pulled her in front of him, and pressed the handgun against her head, glaring sinisterly at Xu Siming, "The second room on the left, get in there."

Seeing that Ji Wanwan made no move to resist, Xu Siming knew it wasn’t the right time to reveal his cards.

He withdrew the energy that had already begun to overflow from his hands and raised them, "Don’t hurt her, I’ll go in!"

A flicker of triumph and mockery passed through Lin Changhe’s eyes.

So what if he’s a superpower awakener?

So what if his Superpower Level is high?

He’s still just a love-struck fool, manipulated by someone because of a person without any superpowers.

In the apocalypse, to still indulge in pure love, what a pure, pure fool!

Isn’t it better to only think of becoming stronger like him?

Once strong, what kind of woman couldn’t he have?

It was one thing to be a downtrodden office worker before, but in the apocalypse, he wanted to do whatever he pleased, eat whatever he wanted, sleep with whichever woman he chose – was there anything wrong with that?

There wasn’t, right?

Thinking thus, Xu Siming slowly moved to the second room on the left.

The Corpse Man that had been locked inside previously was nowhere to be seen, leaving only a blood-stained iron cage and a floor covered with rotten, stench-filled raw meat.

Xu Siming’s brow crinkled almost imperceptibly, and he halted outside the iron cage.

Just as he stopped, Lin Changhe’s scolding voice came from behind, "Did I tell you to stop? Get in the cage!"

A thin layer of anger surfaced on Xu Siming’s face, but he still entered the cage.

At this moment, a sick pleasure appeared on Lin Changhe’s face.

He raised his hand and forcefully pushed Ji Wanwan in as well, then quickly shut the iron cage.

The cage was not large; it was spacious enough for one person, but it felt extremely cramped with two.

To avoid the bloodstains on the cage, Ji Wanwan and Xu Siming squeezed close together.

"Let us out... Ah!!"

Xu Siming reached out to pull the door but was electrocuted so severely that he screamed in pain.

His strong physical constitution allowed him to withstand the electric shock, and he released his grip on the iron bars.

His palm was blackened, and Ji Wanwan could even smell the scent of roasted meat. Her expression immediately darkened.

The sight of the two made Lin Changhe feel immensely pleased, "Don’t blame me for not warning you, don’t struggle if you don’t want to die."

Ji Wanwan moved forward to support Xu Siming and silently performed Equivalence Healing to treat his injuries.

She glared at Lin Changhe fiercely and demanded with a menacing tone, "Is this what you called a mission?"

Lin Changhe enjoyed watching Ji Wanwan, "Yes, offering up your bodies for our master, isn’t that a core mission?"

Ji Wanwan vehemently spat, "Pah! Despicable and shameless!"

Lin Changhe sneered, thinking he had everything under control.

As usual, he took a syringe from the icebox on the small table beside him and slowly approached the cage.

Previously, whenever he did this, people in the cage invariably showed expressions of either terror or pleading. But the two standing straight before him only looked at him with cold, disdainful eyes, as if they were looking at a pile of disgustingly revolting dog excrement.

This was not what Lin Changhe wanted to see.

He wanted everyone’s fear and admiration, not this disdainful and scrutinizing condescension.

A strong inner turmoil made him feel resentful.

Lin Changhe pressed a button on the side of the cage, causing the already cramped cage to contract, squeezing the two inside against the cage walls.

As avoidance became impossible, Lin Changhe sneered and forcefully jabbed the syringe towards the two in the cage.

Ice Wall suddenly erupted from the ground, blocking Lin Changhe’s action, and a sharp Ice Blade pierced through the hand that Lin Changhe was holding the syringe with at the same time.

"Aaaah!!!"

The scream instantly erupted, echoing within the Corpse Refining Factory, at times even overpowering the zombies’ growls.

Lin Changhe, tormented beyond endurance, glared with bloodshot eyes and struck the Ice Wall with his intact hand.

"Crack!"

The sound of bones breaking clearly resounded. This time, Lin Changhe was in so much pain that he curled up and rolled on the ground.

The Ice Wall remained unmoved, while Lin Changhe was severely injured.

He truly hadn’t expected the Ice Wall to be so hard; being a Half-infected, his full-force punch couldn’t shatter it, and the rebound even caused him severe injuries.

Xu Siming’s Water Elemental Superpower was terrifyingly strong! He was no match for such a being!

Under the enhanced healing ability of a Half-infected, he soon recovered a bit and struggled to his feet, pressing the alarm at the doorway.

The piercing alarm echoed within the Corpse Refining Factory.

Inside the barrier formed by the Ice Wall, Ji Wanwan grabbed Xu Siming and teleported to the ground: "Senior, you go. I’ll stay behind, just as we planned!"

"No, you go, I..."

Before Xu Siming could finish speaking, Ji Wanwan had teleported back inside the Ice Wall of the Corpse Refining Factory.

With the teleporting person gone, even if Xu Siming wanted to return to the Corpse Refining Factory, it was impossible.

He should have been more resolute during the day and have decided that he would be the one to stay behind!

But now it was too late to think about that.

He clicked his tongue in annoyance and, following the day’s plan, quietly escaped the refuge under cover of darkness.

Inside the Corpse Refining Factory.

Amidst the alarm, dozens of guards armed with firearms filled the room.

Soon, Guo Dacheng also arrived.

Seeing Lin Changhe half-lying in his chair, hissing in pain, and the Ice Wall circling the cage, Guo Dacheng’s brow twitched.

Lin Changhe was a successfully experimented Half-infected, his physical condition several times stronger than that of an ordinary person, even surpassing some of the lower-level Awakeners.

To have injured him to this extent, how terrifying were these two youngsters?

Guo Dacheng dared not take them lightly.

He cautiously raised his hand to touch the Ice Wall, briefly sensed it to make sure there was no energy fluctuation left, and then quickly threw a punch.

"Boom!"

The Ice Wall shattered in response, ice crystals flying all around.

Lin Changhe abruptly sat up: "?"
