Chapter 555: Chapter 28 The Hostess’s Rebellion (Third update, 10,000 words)_2

"Are you pretending I don’t exist?" Tang Zheng reached out and grabbed Ruan Feifei’s wrist. To discipline a newbie in front of him was a clear slap in his face.

"Hmph." Ruan Feifei snorted, looking at Tang Zheng’s protective clothing, a smile ripped from the corner of her mouth. She believed her high-voltage electricity could penetrate through it.

"Apologize to Chen Hong, and I will let this go." Tang Zheng was still restraining himself. If Ruan Feifei weren’t a woman, he would have already broken her ribs.

"No way, she should be apologizing to me." Ruan Feifei looked at Chen Hong, who was listless, and for the first time, she started to challenge Tang Zheng, "Let go, or you’ll regret it."

"In what way will I regret it?" Tang Zheng chuckles in anger, "Feeling empowered because of your ability? No longer feel the need to maintain good relations with me?"

"Tang Zheng, I’m grateful you gave me the Seed, but I’ve never disgraced myself by being so subservient to a man." Ruan Feifei wanted to wallow in self-pity, but Tang Zheng cut her off.

"Hu Xiaoyan, Shan Shan, and Cai Nan never bowed down to me either."

"But they can be abandoned and used as cannon fodder at any time." Ruan Feifei laughs coldly, "I’m just trying to ingratiate myself with you to make life a bit easier. What’s wrong with that?"

"So now that you have an ability, you want to exact revenge for the humiliations you’ve suffered?" Tang Zheng admitted that this woman was quite ruthless—once she had power, she dared to do anything. She’s more suited to survive in this Trojan Horse Game.

"No, at least I’m still grateful to you. We can live in peace, supporting each other in survival." Ruan Feifei wanted an equal status. What she was doing now was just showing her power. She wasn’t foolish, she knew not to offend Tang Zheng too much. After all, the guy still has quite a reputation within the team.

"What if I refuse?" Tang Zheng looked at Ruan Feifei’s finger, laughed, "What? Are you going to electrocute me?"

"Tang Zheng, you’re the one forcing me!" Seeing Tang Zheng’s disdainful smile, Ruan Feifei felt a sense of humiliation. She shrieked, and the blue electric arc in her hand clustered together and, like a predatorial snake, shot towards Tang Zheng’s arm.

"Presumptuous!" With Tang Zheng’s angry shout, the air visibly sank around him. The tin carriage even creaked under the gravitational pressure.

Ruan Feifei, who was guessing whether Tang Zheng would lose control due to the electric shock and how to ridicule him, all of a sudden felt herself slamming down. With a thud, her cheek made intimate contact with the floor of the vehicle.

Firefly couldn’t completely defend against electric shocks, so Tang Zheng felt numbness in his body, which annoyed him. Moreover, being defied by a newbie he promoted himself made him furious. As a result, he entered a first-order Burst Seed state and the gravity suppression instantly increased by more than ten times.

Ruan Feifei felt like she was suffocating. The heavy air could not get into her chest at all. Her body felt as if it was going through a meat grinder. The pain was unbearable.

"What are you sticking your butt up in the air for? Asking for my admiration?" Tang Zheng slapped Ruan Feifei’s buttocks, scoffing, "Why aren’t you fighting back?"

Ruan Feifei looked like an ostrich at this moment. Her buttocks pressing on the seat and her head even lower. Her cheek was smeared with dust and the discomfort was unbearable, but she couldn’t move at all.

Zap, an electric arc shot out, directed straight at Tang Zheng’s head. This woman wasn’t stupid, she knew Tang Zheng’s protective clothing might be electricity-proof so she attacked his head.

"You haven’t learned your lesson." Tang Zheng lifted his hand and diverted the electric current. He prepared to punish her, but seeing Yu Manli and Chen Hong groaning under the gravity suppression, he withdrew his ability.

The moment Ruan Feifei regained her freedom she exploded into motion, leaping up like a doe, twisting to open the car door and dashing out. She continued her electric attack to buy herself some time. She wanted to maintain a distance before starting a fight. After all, her electric attack could also be used for long-range assaults.

"Still struggling?" Tang Zheng calmly got out of the car and once again released gravity suppression. The shift in power under the Burst Seed state meant that his ability would increase

Ruan Feifei had just run about ten meters when she again fell to the ground. She didn’t cave, she continued to throw out electric shocks.

"You want me to burst your head open with pressure?" Tang Zheng walked over, waved his hand to divert the electric current. His arm felt numb, and it made him very annoyed.

Tang Zheng rarely used Gravity Suppression in his Burst Seed State, but he finally took this opportunity to test its capabilities. After a few seconds, he found that he could manipulate the gravity within a twenty-yard vicinity at will.

Ruan Feifei’s arms were forced entirely into the ground, her limbs sinking into the sand. Had she not been wearing protective clothing, her bones would have broken for sure.

"Apologize, and I’ll let you off." Tang Zheng squatted beside Ruan Feifei, pulling her up by the back of her collar.

Ruan Feifei remained silent. She had suffered enough and realized Tang Zheng’s strength. She wanted to compromise, but she didn’t want to be looked down upon, so she used silence as her shield.

"Looks like you need more punishment!" Tang Zheng grabbed Ruan Feifei’s wrist and started to twist it with force.

"I’m wrong." Ruan Feifei was in so much pain she began to sweat profusely. Through her trembling lips, she uttered words of surrender, albeit in a barely audible voice.

"Can’t take it any longer? I haven’t broken your arm yet." Tang Zheng continued to twist with force. "If I didn’t have good hearing, I wouldn’t have heard your mosquito-like apologies."

"I was wrong." Ruan Feifei cried out, tears streaming down her face.

"But just now, that’s not what you said. Weren’t you set on revenge? And you even attacked me!" Tang Zheng released her arm, grabbed her collar and pulled her face close to his. "Your bones are quite soft, where’s that sense of pride and arrogance from before? Where’s that high and mighty air when you were lecturing me?"

"I was wrong!" Ruan Feifei apologized again. She knew that words wouldn’t help her now; she had to calm Tang Zheng’s anger fast.

"I advised you to choose protective clothing, I helped you get the weapons, and my friends and I bore the brunt of most of the attacks and risks. Don’t you feel the least bit grateful?" Tang Zheng laughed at himself. "Have I ever treated you as cannon fodder?"

"I was wrong." Ruan Feifei apologized again. Upon reflection, Tang Zheng had indeed been kind to the newbies.

"I gave you the Seed and even kept watch for you. But the moment you activated your abilities, you challenged me? Is this your approach to social interaction?" Tang Zheng slapped Ruan Feifei’s cheek slightly. "Without me, you would have been unconscious for 12 hours. Can’t you imagine what could have happened during that time? Zhao Guangji has been after your body for a while."

"I was wrong." Ruan Feifei was on the verge of collapsing. She had only considered her own grievances, never acknowledging her mistakes and always blaming others.

"Miss ungrateful, you can’t stay in this team anymore. Now, fend for yourself. Oh, and take off the protective clothing." Tang Zheng let go and pushed Ruan Feifei onto the ground.

"No, please don’t kick me out." Ruan Feifei scrambled and clung tightly to Tang Zheng’s calf, begging him. "I was wrong, I really was. I won’t resist you anymore, I’ll listen to whatever you say."

Ruan Feifei didn’t believe she could survive the onslaught of the Nazi Zombies on her own, let alone the horrific mummy corpses.

"How long have you been watching?" Tang Zheng stood still, turning towards Yu Manli.

The still attractive mature woman stood respectfully next to the pickup truck, just like a maid, not interrupting Tang Zheng’s chastising of Ruan Feifei.

"I woke up the moment you stepped out, Tang Zheng. Leave her to me. Women like her need a thorough... lesson." Yu Manli gave Ruan Feifei a side-glance, cursing her as a fool. This is what happens when one gets carried away, did she really assume one would give her the Seed with no trump card?

However, Yu Manli also knew that someone like Ruan Feifei, accustomed to being prideful, would naturally retaliate once she got her hands on the power to crush her opponents after a few days of aggrievement.

"Strip off her protective clothing, and send her away."

Ruan Feifei, still clinging to Tang Zheng’s leg, pleaded with him as her body scraped along the ground. At the sound of Tang Zheng’s finality, she became truly frightened.

Yu Manli quickly took a few steps forward, grabbed Ruan Feifei by the shoulder and jabbed her ribs. The pain caused Ruan Feifei to let go involuntarily. She then unzipped the protective suit and stripped it off. Disrobed down to her underwear, Ruan Feifei’s body was fully exposed on the yellowish mountain ground. (To be continued.
