Chapter 327: 188 Stars (First Update)_2

The Fang Family quickly left their home, and along the way, they often saw other people coming out of their houses, and judging by the direction these people were heading, their destination was clearly the same as the Fang Family’s.

The looks the other people gave the Fang Family were quite complex, mixing awe with subtle jealousy, and some even quickened their steps, intentionally trying to foster a good relationship with the Fang Family.

The members of the Fang Family all maintained stern expressions, even little Bai Qianqian kept a tight face. Those who attempted to strike up a conversation saw their unapproachable expressions and felt anxious, immediately reining in their thoughts, not daring to stick to them like a plaster, and instead cautiously probing.

They greeted the Fang Family with smiles, but seeing that the Fang Family only nodded without engaging, most people pulled back, fearing that pushing too far might provoke the Fang Family.

However, some people were just thicker-skinned than others.

One of them was a strength-enhanced superpower user, but judging from the energy fluctuations emanating from him, his superpower level wasn’t high, still at the Superpower Beginner level, approximately at the mid-stage, with a long way to go before advancing.

Since the Fang Family had practice cultivation, their perception was sharper than others, especially sensitive to energy fluctuations. They all noticed that this person hadn’t absorbed many crystal cores; the energy fluctuations were messy and weak, indicating poor talent.

But he was young, in his early twenties, with a handsome appearance and somewhat familiar after long observation.

His smile was perfect, as if trained professionally in manners, and very personable, especially his eyes, which seemed electrifying.

The Fang Family felt he looked familiar but couldn’t quite place who he was.

Fortunately, after the initial pleasantries, he introduced himself, "I am Yan Ning. I used to be an actor and singer and have done some commercials. Although I haven’t met everyone here, you might have seen me."

There were some others around since they were all heading to the square, so they weren’t far apart. They just didn’t dare to continue coming forward to chat with the Fang Family, not wanting to anger them.

Only Yan Ning dared to continue the conversation despite the cold reception.

The people around had complex thoughts about his boldness. They despised his shamelessness in continuing to please the Fang Family but also resented their own cowardice for backing down, thus inadvertently allowing him to take advantage and maliciously waited to see his downfall.

However, upon hearing his introduction, their expressions changed.

For celebrities, ordinary people always harbor some wonderful illusions. Judging by Yan Ning’s look and age, he seemed to be the type to have countless fans, both young girls and middle-aged women probably liked him.

However, that was before the apocalypse.

After the apocalypse, survival became the foremost issue, and no glamorous appearance could compete with the allure of food.

Still, even though people no longer had the pre-apocalypse mindset of chasing celebrities, they couldn’t help but give him a few more glances as if looking at a rare curio when they knew he was once a star.

Yan Ning, indeed a former celebrity, had a mental resilience not seen in ordinary people. The gaze shot by those around did not embarrass him; instead, he enjoyed it immensely.

However, he didn’t pay attention to those around him; his eyes were solely on one person— Fang Yuxin.

His eyes were clear and well-shaped, appearing bright, profound, and captivating. He gazed deeply at Fang Yuxin, his lips curving into a gentle smile. At first glance, his eyes could easily give someone the illusion of deep affection. Being looked at by such eyes, one might feel that he was deeply in love with them.

However, illusions are just illusions.

Despite his perfect act, acting is just acting. Even the most "affectionate" gaze could not hide the greedy schemes lurking beneath!

He was not interested in Fang Yuxin as a person, or her beauty, but in Fang Yuxin’s abilities and status!

Yan Ning was extremely unlucky. He had only started his career a year before the apocalypse, and had quickly become famous, involving in singing, acting, and various endorsements, with a massive following of fans.

Just before the apocalypse happened, he had taken up a role in a big-budget movie. Although not the lead, he had a significant role that was quite likeable. For this, he had used some unscrupulous methods and had trained hard for the role, all to perform well in this film.

The movie was scheduled to premiere during the New Year holiday, which was an excellent timing. With the production crew and investors having strong backgrounds, he didn’t have to worry about promotion and box office. He had a strong premonition that once the film was released, his worth and status would greatly improve, and he might even win some awards.

This could have been a turning point in his life, an opportunity for him to spread his wings, shed his unglamorous identity as an idol actor, and step into the big screen.

However, what he didn’t expect was that even though filming had started and everything was going smoothly, the sky suddenly changed! Zombies, those monsters found only in biochemical movies, games, and novels, suddenly appeared in the real world!

At first, he absolutely refused to believe everything was true, but the starkly real surroundings kept telling him over and over again—zombies had truly appeared!

Now, it is the apocalypse! (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote for it with a recommendation or monthly ticket at Qidian (qidian.com). Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
