Yang Qian had actually come back this afternoon. This time on his trip outside to search for supplies, he’d encountered a few accidents. Although these accidents had been disguised to look like real “accidents”, Yang Qian keenly realized that Huo Yi might have done something for the purpose of delaying him.

Huo Yi, of course, would be dissatisfied with being driven away just like that. This base was the result of his many years of painstaking effort, and with that petty and small-minded disposition of his, he definitely wouldn’t let up until one of them died. During this period of time, Yang Qian hadn’t let down his guard in the slightest… so, after Yang Qian had come back ahead of time, he hadn’t shown his face, but had secretly hidden himself, just waiting to see if Huo Yi would make any moves.

Huo Yi had come back as expected, but the first thing he’d done when he came back actually hadn’t been to seize the opportunity to create chaos and reclaim the base, but rather to steal Ye Ming away, which made Yang Qian both surprised and furious!

Yang Qian’s eyes were full of bone-deep hatred. He stared at Huo Yi. It seems you actually care a lot about Ye Ming, ma. Not only did you keep him by your side for two years, but now, even after you’ve become a homeless cur, you’re actually still thinking of taking him away. Mdrf92

This person is mine. When did it become your turn to make a move on him!

Yang Qian’s ability erupted throughout his body. A violent wind blew past the weeds and trees in the garden. His ability was related to space-control, and not only could the space be compressed to crush the heads of zombies, but it could also control the wind and form a sharp blade!

Huo Yi looked at Yang Qian with a cold expression, not underestimating him in the slightest. This man was already no longer that ordinary human being who could be tossed about by just anyone, but was a powerful ability-user! Just last time, he already hadn’t been able to get anything good out of him, so he threw Ye Ming into Liu Wenguang’s arms, and said in a cold voice, “You bring him away first, I’ll stop Yang Qian!”

Liu Wenguang caught Ye Ming, his expression endlessly worried! He’d long said to not worry about Ye Ming. Ye Ming was Yang Qian’s reverse scale. Attacking Yang Qian now would only disrupt their plans, and the losses would outweigh the gains!

After Huo Yi finished saying this, in the blink of an eye, he and Yang Qian had already begun to fight each other!

Both of them were extremely powerful ability-users. The effects of their battle were immense, practically causing the earth to tremble and mountains to shake. When Yang Qian’s other subordinates heard the sounds, they all rushed over one after another.

When Huo Yi saw that Liu Wenguang hadn’t left yet, he said sternly, “Why haven’t you left yet?”

While he was talking, a moment of carelessness caused him to be hit by a punch from Yang Qian, and he was sent flying back! Huo Yi wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sneered, “I didn’t expect that you’d have a bit of skill, but you were still thrown out like a dog by me back then!” WHSe10

Yang Qian’s eyes were entirely red, as the painful memories of the past flooded his mind once again, and his moves became much more aggressive!

In his heart, a hundred Ye Mings was still nowhere as important as Huo Yi! He couldn’t look on as Huo Yi took on such a risk for Ye Ming’s sake!

Liu Wenguang grabbed Ye Ming by the neck, and suddenly shouted to Yang Qian, “Stop! Otherwise, I’ll kill him!” Txukn

Yang Qian’s eyes were frigid, and his malicious and bloodthirsty gaze fell upon him! Sure enough, he stopped his actions.

Huo Yi had also turned pale with fright, and shouted harshly at Liu Wenguang, “What’re you doing?”

Liu Wenguang looked fixedly at Huo Yi as he said, “Huo-ge, don’t think I won’t dare to do it, I really will do it.”

Huo Yi’s expression also changed. krzEO0

Liu Wenguang said, “I’ve already found him displeasing to the eye for a long time, and it didn’t matter before who you were willing to raise, but if you’re still going to act impulsively because of him, then it’s really not worth it. All of us xiongdi are counting on you. You care about this person, but I sure don’t!”

Liu Wenguang saw that Huo Yi was still not moving, while the others had already surrounded them. His eyes were fierce, and he yelled sharply, “Let’s go, ah!”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Huo Yi pressed his lips together tightly, “Let’s go together!” He was also a decisive person. Now wasn’t the time for arguing. Since Yang Qian cared about Ye Ming so much, then it wasn’t impossible for them to take Ye Ming away as they escaped.

The most important thing was that if he didn’t leave, Liu Wenguang would absolutely never leave as well! AnhEOL

Liu Wenguang kept his hold on Ye Ming’s neck, one hand grasping his waist, as he quickly retreated to where Huo Yi was.

Huo Yi turned around and left. With a wave of his hands, a raging fire burned the two people standing in front of him to death, and he rushed towards the outside! Liu Wenguang followed Huo Yi closely behind, and soon they made it to the edge of the base.

Liu Wenguang watched as Huo Yi went out first. Suddenly, he turned around while holding onto Ye Ming, and fled in a different direction!

Since Yang Qian cared about Ye Ming this much, it was impossible for him to allow them to take Ye Ming away. If they took Ye Ming, they wouldn’t be able to get rid of Yang Qian. The chance of escape would be less than one percent. Liu Wenguang only wanted to create an opportunity for Huo Yi to escape. He’d take Ye Ming and run away separately, so Yang Qian would definitely choose to chase after him instead! ldF9cw

Huo Yi had rushed far away, before he suddenly discovered that Liu Wenguang hadn’t followed him. His expression shifted multiple times. D*mn it! Liu Wenguang was his xiongdi who’d been with him for several years. Even before the apocalypse had arrived, they’d already had a strong bond of friendship. They were of the same mind, so how could he not understand Liu Wenguang’s plan? This was to help him by leading the enemies away, allowing him to escape alone.

If he went back now, it would only waste his efforts. Huo Yi clutched his arm where blood was dripping down, his gaze endlessly insidious, but he still turned around and left in the end.

This time, he was in the wrong. Because of his willfulness, he’d put his own xiongdi in danger!

Liu Wenguang brought Ye Ming along as he fled to another location. Ye Ming was only an ordinary human. Being carried by Liu Wenguang as he darted around like this only made it difficult for him to breathe. When he was still by Huo Yi’s side back then, he’d already felt that Liu Wenguang disliked him very much. Falling into Liu Wenguang’s hands now was already the most terrible outcome. i46PJt

It wasn’t that he was afraid of death, he was merely worried about his little sister…

Yang Qian didn’t care at all about Huo Yi who’d escaped. He was single-mindedly focused on getting Ye Ming back, and was in close pursuit after Liu Wenguang!

Although Liu Wenguang was also considered fairly powerful, after running for so long, there was still no sign of him losing Yang Qian anytime soon, and his expression became more and more anxious! He turned around and said to Yang Qian in a cold voice, “Stop, if you keep on chasing after me, then I’ll kill him!”

However, Yang Qian had changed from his previous expression, and looked on unfeelingly, as his icy gaze fell upon Liu Wenguang, “Then kill him, ah!” 5j1OFB

Liu Wenguang’s expression condensed. He looked at Yang Qian’s fierce and cold gaze. Even though he was a mass murderer who’d killed people like flies, he could still feel a chill traveling up from the soles of his feet. He realized that Yang Qian would never let him go.

At the beginning, Huo Yi had been the one who’d given the order, but he’d been the executor. Their deep enmity had already become impossible to resolve since long ago.

Liu Wenguang took a deep breath, his eyes cold, “It appears that you really don’t care about him anymore.”

Ye Ming had heard Yang Qian’s words, his gaze dimming. Yang Qian was finally willing to let him die. This was something to be happy about, but… why wasn’t he happy on the inside. ER8C9F

Yang Qian’s lips curved into a smile, “I care about him very much, but what I really can’t tolerate is something like letting you run away with him. He’s just a person who betrayed me anyway, so if he dies, then he dies, ba.”

Liu Wenguang looked into Yang Qian’s eyes, and realized that he was probably not joking around…

Chrysanthemum Garden.

After a while.

“Okay, ah, watch me as I kill him.” Liu Wenguang gave Yang Qian a cold laugh, then lowered his head and said into Ye Ming’s ear with a smile, “You see, this is because your old friend wants me to kill you, so don’t blame me even after you die!” After that, his fingers tightly clutched Ye Ming’s neck, about to forcefully break it! DVbt3m

Even if he died, he also wanted to drag Ye Ming down with him!

But to Liu Wenguang’s surprise, even after he exerted some force, there wasn’t the familiar sound of bone breaking. He lowered his head in astonishment, and saw that his hand was freezing little by little, and had turned white.

And at the same time, Yang Qian had moved right in front of him in an instant! He grabbed Ye Ming with one hand, while the other grasped his frozen arm, then ripped his arm off with a kada!

Liu Wenguang dropped to the ground. He slowly turned his gaze, then saw a woman following behind Yang Qian. Cold air lingered around the woman’s hands, and she was currently staring right at him. ufrK3A

Yang Qian took Ye Ming into his own arms. He’d just said those words on purpose to draw Liu Wenguang’s attention away, giving his subordinate a chance to freeze his hands. If they hadn’t done this, Liu Wenguang definitely wouldn’t have let Ye Ming go.

Before Liu Wenguang could get back up after falling to the ground, Yang Qian stepped on his chest with his foot. The stomp directly broke his ribs, and he coughed up some blood, then revealed a smile of ridicule, “Hahahaha, and here I’d thought that you really didn’t care about his life anymore!”

Yang Qian stared at his face. Although two years had already passed by, these people who’d snatched Ye Ming away and then injured him before, he hadn’t forgotten a single one of them.

At that time, it was exactly this person, who’d driven him away at Huo Yi’s command, broken both of his legs, thrown him into that dark forest, and honked his horn to attract the zombies over. He’d been in such despair at the time, and would always remember the contemptuous and cold-blooded gaze of this person when he was leaving. WsSR8J

Heso what, I’m still alive, and now it’s you guys’s turn to pay the price.

Yang Qian let out a cold chuckle, “Bring him back.”

His subordinate immediately came over and tied Liu Wenguang up tightly, and brought him back to the base.


The translator has something to say: tfw the 2nd most touching thing about this arc is an antagonist-antagonist brotherhood (1st is ofc Ye Ming-gege and his meimei’s sibling relationship, truly operating on the same wavelength~) pvzNJ

huo yi come back i already miss you

Translator's Note

兄弟 (xiōng dì) – lit. male siblings, can be used for very close male friendships, especially comrades-in-arms

  1. Thank you for the chapter Pop-tan~ These chapters go by so quickly, so interesting and exciting! (>o<)

    I’m waiting for the “truth” to be revealed!

    • QAQ they rlly do! a sudden action-packed chapter, almost forgot everyone had abilities, it was kinda interesting actually getting clarification on what exactly Yang Qian’s abilities were

      we’re so, so, soooooo close… all the actors have finally showed their faces + arrived… counting on you… Liu Wenguang. we’re gonna need you to shout whatever you want as a special guest who actually “knows both sides of the story”…

      thanks for reading~

  2. I knew it! Hou Yi is a better ML than YQ! I love his relationship with his Xiongdi! Aside from Ye Ming gege, Hou Yi is my favorite character in the arc. I wanted him to come to reveal the truth before but now I actually like his character a lot. Tho most of my fondness comes after comparing him with that trash YQ.

    Thanks for the chapter!

    • it rlly is… Yang Qian was just too much so now everyone else seems like a beautiful, ball of sunshine compared to him… i honestly still wonder about that guy they tried to run over back in the forest when they drove away instead of helping.

      thanks for reading! <3

  3. Thanks for the chapter Phizzi! 😘

    Why do I get the feeling Huo Yi isn’t popular just because his looks aren’t on the same level as the ML’s 🤔 iirc, they mentioned at one point that he wasn’t all that good-looking just powerful

    • thanks for reading! 🙂

      i know they said Huo Yi was “also good looking” but i’m sure he’s nowhere near as attractive as Yang Qian as well (lol @that protagonist ML halo)… although i think Ye Ming-gege totally won this round since everyone’s thirsting after him hahaha

  4. Strong bond that is larger than mountains.

    Grabbing best bro’s white moonlight to bear the pains.

    Life is miserable, specially with spicy chicken Ye Ming.

    Even without lines he can give cannon fodders torturing.

    Dragged by the neck, truly like a spicy chicken.

    But brought back to the arms of scummy Yang Qian.

    Charming abuser Huo Yi, tail tucked as he ran away,

    Giving his roletohis best bro to save the day.

    Thanks for the chapter!!

  5. As much of a scum as Huo Yi is supposed to be, I do love the relationship between Huo Yi and his xiongdi, he actually cares about them. They aren’t just disposable subordinates who fear him.

    • i know!!! i know it was briefly mentioned in the super quick overall summary in the first chapter of this arc that they were all bros before the zombie apocalypse and were mercenaries together, and i kinda like how they’re not completely irredeemable villains so it lends some realism & 3D characterization to them. like although they’re complete *ssholes to everyone else and abuse their power, they’re still fairly loyal to their own
