Chapter 43 Psychological Manipulation

Steel rolling mill.

The last marked location.

Previously, they had collected the desired supplies from the chemical plant and electronics factory.

Four people and one bird moved stealthily.

Suddenly!

Qin Feng raised his hand, making a "stop" gesture.

"Captain, what's wrong?" Zhou Haiyang whispered.

"There are zombies."

"Isn't it normal for there to be zombies?"

Where in Shangjing City was there no zombies?

There were workers in the factory.

Nuclear explosion.

Cold wave.

Someone had to have died.

Dead people turned into zombies.

"A lot!" Qin Feng lowered his voice.

He was now at the peak of Level 3, with a physique more than twenty times that of an ordinary person.

His hearing was extremely sharp.

Wang Shouli peeked over the low wall and then cautiously stuck his head out to look.

His expression stiffened, and he said in a low voice, "Where did so many zombies come from?"

Factories were usually built in the suburbs.

The foot traffic was not large.

Although there were many workers, after death and turning into zombies, they wouldn't stay in one place but would wander and scatter.

Logically.

There shouldn't be too many zombies gathered in the factory area.

Qin Feng also peeked.

Indeed!

More than a hundred zombies were clustered together.

However, these zombies were a bit strange.

"Why aren't these zombies moving?" Zhou Haiyang also glanced over.

"Could it be him?" Qin Feng was stunned.

In his previous life, he knew many formidable experts.

He had interacted with some.

Others, he only knew their names and deeds.

Like He Dong, Qin Feng knew where he was at the beginning, so he could go to find him and prepare crystals for him in advance.

But!

For more experts, he didn't know their origins and couldn't find them in advance.

He met Han Ling by chance.

In addition, some extraordinarily talented individuals only left their names in his previous life.

Because they died before the end.

They were astonishing.

They were powerful.

But they were like shooting stars across the sky, leaving only a fleeting glimpse before disappearing into obscurity.

"Let's go!"

Qin Feng smiled and stood up.

He rarely smiled.

It was even rarer for him to smile so happily.

"Captain!" Zhou Haiyang exclaimed in alarm.

Over a hundred zombies.

Not too many, but definitely not a small number.

If he revealed himself so openly and was surrounded, it could be dangerous.

"It's fine."

Qin Feng walked straight inside.

Zhou Haiyang, without a second thought, immediately got up and followed.

Bird Lord and Wang Shouli also followed.

Han Ling was a little scared.

But!

She quickly noticed that Qin Feng had left his cover and wasn't deliberately muffling his footsteps, yet the zombies...

Were completely still!

What was even more outrageous was that Qin Feng walked right through the zombies without hesitation.

As a result, the zombies remained motionless.

"Captain, wait for me!" she quickly caught up.

...

Inside the factory.

A young man was cooking with a kerosene stove.

His name was Liu Pi.

When he was just born, his name was Liu Cheng.

Within days of birth, he was hospitalized with severe jaundice. Not long after he was discharged, he contracted neonatal pneumonia.

His superstitious parents gave him a humble name – Liu Pi.

They hoped their son would be more robust.

Before the nuclear explosion.

Liu Pi worked for a courier company.

After the nuclear explosion.

He could have fled Shangjing, but he stayed to find his girlfriend, and he did find her.

"Huihui, time to eat."

Liu Pi brought over the dishes.

Two people were sitting at the table.

A girl around twenty years old.

Her appearance...

Was decent.

Not a stunning beauty, she couldn't compare to Xiao Ruoruo or Han Ling, but she could still be rated at 80 points.

Not only was her clothes clean, but she also wore delicate makeup.

Unfortunately.

Now it was the apocalypse.

Few people would notice her makeup.

Besides her and Liu Pi, there was a middle-aged man.

Suit.

Tie.

Leather shoes.

He looked like someone from high society.

After the nuclear explosion, when Liu Pi found his girlfriend, this man was present.

He was the mentor she respected the most, her university professor, and someone who usually took good care of her.

"Professor Xu, your meal."

Liu Pi handed two bowls of white rice to Qian Hui and Xu Jinzhou.

"Preserved meat again!"

Qian Hui frowned, forcefully pushed the bowl away, scattering rice all over the floor: "I've had enough! It's cured meat every meal, I want fresh food! Vegetables!!"

"Huihui, this... where are we going to find vegetables?" Liu Pi said with a distressed face.

He was capable of surviving in the apocalypse.

He also frequently went out to search for supplies.

There were many packaged foods, but if it came to cooking, the choices were limited.

Vegetables.

Fresh meat.

Had long since rotted.

Only preserved meat had a long shelf life.

"I'm not eating!"

Qian Hui turned her head and immediately got up.

"Xiao Liu, this is where you're wrong."

Xu Jinzhou picked up a piece of preserved meat, chewed it, and said, "You have to coax girls. As a man, you should do everything you can to satisfy your girlfriend's demands, don't you agree?"

"Professor Xu, I understand, but..."

He felt inferior.

He and his girlfriend were classmates from junior high and high school.

They started dating in their third year of high school.

Unlike him, whose grades were poor, his girlfriend's grades were good, and she was admitted to a university in Shangjing.

After his girlfriend was admitted to university, she didn't break up with him. He felt even more that he was marrying above his station and had to treat her well.

Before the nuclear explosion.

His girlfriend was in her third year of university, and he had been responsible for her tuition and expenses for three years.

He felt.

A girlfriend who stayed with him through thick and thin was worth all his efforts.

However, he truly couldn't find any vegetables!

"No ability, but so many demands!" A disdainful sneer came.

Suddenly!

Four people and one bird walked in.

"Who... who are you?!"

Liu Pi was shocked and looked at Zhou Haiyang, who had spoken: "Who let you in? Don't you see... there are many zombies outside?!"

"Who are you calling incapable?"

"Believe it or not, I'll have my boyfriend control the zombies to eat you?!"

Qian Hui glared at Zhou Haiyang, her face full of arrogance.

"Try me?" Zhou Haiyang sneered.

"Liu Pi! Make the zombies eat them!" Qian Hui pointed at the group and roared.

"Huihui, this..."

Liu Pi looked embarrassed: "Many people have died, and even if we can't save them, we shouldn't harm our own people."

Kill people?

He was unwilling!

"Didn't you hear what I said?!" Qian Hui was furious.

"I..."

"As a proud university student, it's your fortune to have me!"

"I've sacrificed so much for you, and you're being so hesitant about this small request?"

"Let me tell you! If you don't do as I say today, we're breaking up!"

Zhou Haiyang: ...

Han Ling: ...

Wang Shouli: ...

Their understanding of the world was shattered.

This was the apocalypse!

And someone was still flaunting their superiority by being a university student?

"Huihui, it's just a small disagreement, they're not enemies, I think..." Liu Pi tried to placate her.

"I don't want what you think! I want what I think!"

"You..."

"Fine! Break up!"

Suddenly!

A flash of brilliance flickered in Liu Pi's eyes.

At the same time, he shouted at Qin Feng and his group, "If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Roar!"

The next moment.

Four of the zombies outside, which had been motionless, suddenly awakened.

They roared and charged towards them.

Liu Pi didn't intend to kill anyone.

He wanted to scare away the four people and the bird with the zombies.

"Do you know what 'pua' means?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"What?"

Liu Pi had only graduated from high school, and his academic performance was poor, so his cultural literacy was limited: "I don't understand what you're saying, anyway... if you don't run now, you'll be in danger!"

Whoosh!

Qin Feng suddenly moved.

He didn't use the spatial blade, which consumed a lot of mental energy.

His Mo Dao flashed.

In an instant.

The four zombies, controlled by Liu Pi and intended to scare them away, were decapitated.

Liu Pi's eyes widened.

What the hell?

His speed was so fast that he could barely see it!

"You dare to attack?"

Qin Feng, holding his knife, said with a cold expression: "Kill them all!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Haiyang immediately summoned dark creatures.

Bird Lord manipulated wind blades and lightning, making ready to attack.

However...

He didn't attack immediately.

A moment ago, the captain had signaled with his eyes – just scare them, don't actually fight.

"Don't kill me..."

Suddenly!

Qian Hui shrieked in terror, pointing at Liu Pi: "He's the one who wants to kill you, it has nothing to do with me!"
