Yang Qian took Ye Ming back to the villa, then violently flung him on top of the bed. He was watching him with a gloomy, indiscernible gaze, and there was no expression on his grim face.
Ye Ming had gone through so many mishaps in such a short period of time, hovering on the edge of life and death, so he appeared dazed, his face completely drained of blood.
Yang Qian looked fixedly at Ye Ming, and suddenly let out a chuckle. He walked over and caressed Ye Ming’s cheek, his tone seemingly very gentle, “Frightened?”
Ye Ming was slightly startled. Yang Qian had never talked to him in such a gentle tone before. Wasn’t he angry? He didn’t dare to believe that Yang Qian would actually be this kind, and whispered nervously, “I’m, I’m fine…”
Yang Qian laughed softly, his tone light, “That’s true, I don’t suppose that Huo Yi would’ve killed you anyway. I didn’t expect that he’d actually care this much about you. The first thing he did when he came back was to come here and see you… I heard that he treated you pretty well over the past two years, looks like it’s true.”
Although Yang Qian’s tone was very tranquil, Ye Ming suddenly realized that he was angry.
And extremely angry, at that.
Ye Ming actually had a good understanding of Yang Qian, just that the current Yang Qian had changed so much that he felt unfamiliar. But at this very moment, he was extremely certain that Yang Qian was angry. And when Yang Qian became angry, he’d torment him.
Ye Ming shivered slightly, his voice trembling as he said, “I…”
Yang Qian lifted Ye Ming’s chin, gazing into his eyes as he asked with a smile, “Do you have a crush on him?”
Ye Ming’s pupils constricted slightly because of fear.
Seeing Ye Ming’s frightened expression, the hatred and dissatisfaction in Yang Qian’s heart grew stronger and stronger, almost drowning him. You’re scared now, you know exactly what I’m angry about.
Yang Qian still remembered that when he’d first taken over this base, he’d used bloody means to suppress and control everything, making Huo Yi’s past subordinates submit to him. But what he’d cared about the most, had still been Ye Ming’s situation over the past two years. He couldn’t wait to learn about everything that had happened to him…
The results had made him both happy and indignant.
The happy thing was that Ye Ming was still alive. Although he hated this person to such a degree, he was even more afraid of losing him. He’d been afraid that he’d been tortured to death somewhere, and he wouldn’t even have the chance to see him ever again.
But Ye Ming had actually been alive and well. And so he felt dissatisfied in his heart, unable to stop his jealousy and hatred.
Ye Ming hadn’t resisted against Huo Yi, hadn’t escaped from Huo Yi, and had just obediently stayed by Huo Yi’s side like he didn’t care about anything at all, living comfortably under Huo Yi’s wing.
At that moment, Yang Qian no longer had any false hope left in his heart. If Ye Ming had really cared about him, and hadn’t really wanted to yield to Huo Yi, then how could he have remained so aloof for two years? He’d already thoroughly given up on him, had thoroughly sold himself, and had been enjoying all the things he’d gained after abandoning his conscience and dignity.
Not only had he betrayed him, and also forgotten about him, he’d even developed a crush on someone else.

Yang Qian stared at Ye Ming, a deep, dark hatred in his black eyes, as a smile hung on his lips, “You’ve been waiting for Huo Yi to come save you all this time. You prefer staying by his side, right ba.”

Yang Qian, however, didn’t believe it at all. He looked at him with a spurious smile, “You’ve learned to be smart, and know what you should and shouldn’t say.”
Only, I’m especially unhappy today, and don’t feel like letting you get what you want.
Yang Qian pressed him down on the bed. Ye Ming had never felt that Yang Qian was as frightening as he was now, more frightening than ever before. He wanted to run away from this place, but he couldn’t escape. This world was so big, but he had nowhere to escape to.
………………
Yang Qian didn’t seem to know what moderation was at all. No matter how much Ye Ming begged him, he wouldn’t let him off.
Ye Ming fainted and woke up again. At first, he’d still forced himself to endure it. By the time it was over, he felt as though he might be about to die. But no matter what, he couldn’t actually die, because this person wouldn’t allow him to die.
Why… he’d already given up, was there still a need to treat him like this? You just want to see me live a life worse than death, don’t you.
Yang Qian tugged Ye Ming’s hair, and dragged his face in front of him, a cruel smile on his cold face, “Is Huo Yi much gentler than me? Do you miss him right now?”
Ye Ming slowly shook his head, his eyes full of tears, his vision blurry. He could hardly make a sound, and looked scared.
With a sneer, Yang Qian covered Ye Ming with his clothes, then picked him up, and walked outside.
Ye Ming was lying in Yang Qian’s arms, looking as though he was on the verge of dying.
【Ye Ming: Aiyo, my old arms and legs were almost disabled… Qian Qian was really too naughty today la, did he transform his grief and indignation into power. Shy.jpg】
【888: …】
【888: Under normal circumstances, as the one performing the physical labor, Yang Qian should be the one who’s more tired. Aren’t you embarrassed to be making a fuss all day when you just lie there without moving. Are you even a man?】
【Ye Ming’s tone suddenly deepened: He, whether I’m a man or not, do you want to give it a try, ah.】
【Ye Ming: System, you’re playing with fire.】
【888 laughed hehehe: I think you’re playing with your life.】
【Ye Ming: 5555, somebody was only kidding la. Haven’t you already seen whether someone is a man or not, what’re you still asking somebody for ma, QAQ】
【888: Being mouthy is a type of illness, failure to cure it may result in death.】
【Ye Ming: …】
Yang Qian brought Ye Ming to the basement of the villa, which was an interrogation room.
Liu Wenguang was tied up here. His severed arm had already stopped bleeding, but there was even more fresh blood on his body. It was obvious that while Yang Qian had been taking care of Ye Ming, he’d been here suffering through interrogation under torture, and the blood had dyed his clothes red.
He heard the sound of the door opening, looked up, and saw Yang Qian walking in. A twisted smile slowly appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth that was full of blood, “Don’t waste your efforts, ke ke… I won’t say anything.”
Yang Qian didn’t seem to care very much. He gave a faint smile, “That’s fine, even if you don’t say anything, I’m sure Huo Yi will be delivering himself to our doorstep, and next time, he won’t be as lucky.”
Liu Wenguang snorted, watching Yang Qian with a sinister look, as he jeered, “Who knows which person it’ll be that dies at the other’s hands in the end.”
Yang Qian hardly cared. The corners of his lips curled up, “You’re truly loyal to Huo Yi. It’s a pity… since you don’t want to talk, then go die now ba.”
Liu Wenguang knew very clearly in his heart that regardless of whether he said anything or not, he wouldn’t be able to walk out of this alive anyway. On the contrary, he acted carefree, and laughed uproariously.
Yang Qian looked at his arrogant appearance, his eyes turning colder.
Yang Qian’s subordinates tossed Liu Wenguang into a car. Then, Yang Qian held Ye Ming as they sat in the front, and he ordered his men to drive out.
Ye Ming powerlessly leaned into Yang Qian’s embrace, because he was afraid to move. As the car slowly drove out of the base, Ye Ming didn’t even dare to ask why he needed to come along as well.
But gradually, Ye Ming could hear the sounds coming from a distance, and his expression shifted. That could only be the sound of many zombies gathered together, wheezing like there was like a leak in their throats. There were zombies over there, ah! And several, at that!
But Yang Qian’s car continued to drive straight in the direction of the zombies. Before long, they arrived in front of a huge dirt pit where countless zombies were walking back and forth stiffly. Once they heard the sounds of the car, they were suddenly agitated, and flocked towards the side where Yang Qian was, reaching out their hands in an attempt to seize the people on it to devour them!
Fortunately, the pit was very deep, so those zombies couldn’t climb up at all, and could only keep crowding around the edges.
It was apparent that someone had deliberately dug this out, trapping these zombies here for some unknown purpose.
But Liu Wenguang knew exactly where this was, and looked at Yang Qian with hatred, as a hint of fear finally appeared on his face.
Yang Qian turned his head and looked at him, revealing a spurious smile on his face as he said, “This was constructed by Huo Yi. It’s said that he likes to throw disobedient people in here alive. Look, is there anyone here that you threw in before?”
Liu Wenguang gave a cold laugh, “My only regret is that I didn’t directly throw you in here back then!”
Yang Qian heard these words, seriously considered them for a while, then nodded as he said lightly, “You’re very correct. If you’d directly thrown me in here back then, I probably wouldn’t have had a chance to escape from death, then. Speaking of, I must thank you for that, even.”
“A pity…” The corners of Yang Qian’s lips lifted, his gaze ruthless, and his voice low, “I didn’t die, so now it’s your turn.”
Liu Wenguang looked at the countless zombies in the dirt pit trying to reach out for him, a trace of fear flashing through his eyes. He wasn’t afraid of death, but no one wanted to be eaten alive by these zombies. He once threw many people in here, but now that he was the one facing this scene, he suddenly understood that kind of despair.
Yang Qian’s voice was callous and cruel as he commanded, “Chop off his legs and throw him in.”
His subordinates immediately pressed Liu Wenguang against the ground, directly picking up an axe and chopping off his legs! Liu Wenguang rolled on the ground as he let out mournful shrieks, blood gushing forth like a torrent.
Yang Qian lowered his head slightly to look down at him, his gaze cold, but his tone relaxed with a hint of laughter, as he said word by word, “What you gave to me back then, I’m returning to you in double. Don’t worry, Huo Yi can’t escape either.”
As his voice fell, Liu Wenguang was thrown into the pit!
Countless zombies swarmed over like sharks catching the scent of blood! Their mouths gaped open as they pounced on him to bite off chunks of his flesh! There were too many zombies, and the ones behind couldn’t make it there, making ahh sounds, wanting to eat meat too, ah!
Ye Ming watched this cruel scene, and listened to Yang Qian’s cold words, trembling all over.
Once Yang Qian finally tired of that game of tormenting him, would he do the same to him then?
The agony of his flesh being torn off bit by bit made Liu Wenguang desperate and crazed. He was about to die, he was about to be swallowed down into the stomachs of these disgusting and filthy zombies, and turned into a pile of rotten meat.
After the apocalypse, many people died every single day, and he knew that the day would also come when he’d die, but dying in this way filled him with hatred and resentment!
Clearly at the time, he’d wanted to kill Yang Qian, but because he’d left him a fighting chance, it’d given him the opportunity to come back and take revenge on them!
Liu Wenguang was being torn apart by the zombies, and looked at Yang Qian on the ridge from afar, his eyes full of hatred as he roared desperately, “You’ll also die, you’ll die sooner or later! If Huo Yi hadn’t listened to Xu Xiaofei and driven you away, I would’ve killed you a long time ago!”
“I was going to throw you in here, and watch you die with my own eyes! D*mn it ahhh, this isn’t fair, I should’ve just directly killed you! I should’ve just killed you along with Xu Xiaofei! Ah… ahh… ”
Yang Qian’s retreating footsteps abruptly paused, and he looked back at Liu Wenguang, and slowly said, “What do you mean?”
What exactly was, he was originally planning on directly killing him?
So when he did that, was he not planning on killing him then? Ridiculous!
The author has something to say: this world is a bit longer than I expected, finally made it here

Thank you for your continuous hard work!🙌🏼
Yang Qian has literally been on small-brain mode since this arc started so i can’t wait. when he wasn’t jumping at Huo Yi with 0 power but 100 rage, he was returning with 100 power and 100 rage, but a stable 0 trust/logic this entire time. go Ye Ming-gege go.
thanks for reading!! 🙂
So cruel and gorey. 😱😱😱
there was so much action with bread and beds that i almost forgot the zombies were here too… that’s a freaky pit shivers
Ikr. I almost forgot that there’s zombies in the apocalypse.
I don’t understand why this side character doesn’t understand the meaning of it’s karma, bitch
But hurray for this arc slowly coming closer to the whitewashing! And oh noes, hope you make it through your studies Phizzlepop!
Thanks for the chapter! 😘
why were they chucking ppl in there for fun that’s gross 🤢
so excited for us almost being there~
and thanks!! i’d rather read about zombie pits any day than study though lol rip
thanks for reading! <3
Liu Wenguang, your sacrifice had not been in vain. Thank you for sticking to your role throughout.
Finally, the washing clean will happen, and the scum abuse shall commence!!
Thanks for the chapter! Good luck wih your exams, I’m starting to hate this week. It’s the finals and everything seems to stop, I can’t de-stress correctly from all the reviews ( QAQ)
i salute him for his service. huo yi went off-stage for the moment so we could only depend on him single tear
these author’s notes are rlly giving me life and something to look forward to
thanks for reading! good luck with everything! also hating this late May time period 😣
Yup its ridiculous but at least they gave you a less than 1% chance to live right? Well, with what kind of person you are right now, my sympathy for you is long gone ML.
Thanks for the chapter <3
I agree with you. I don’t have any sympathy left for that ML. I want him to suffer! It’s the first time I hated the ML more than the Villain.
i feel that so hard… like Liu Wenguang and Huo Yi were obviously horrible ppl who liked throwing ppl into zombie pits and immorally seizing ppl at will, left and right, but i cant stop honing in on the fact that they were prolly already like that to begin with + at least they have loyalty to their own and each other, so where does that put Yang Qian as the ML when he’s acting the same but cant even let his childhood friend/sweetheart + his sister who didn’t do anything to him off for just a bit
thanks for reading!! <3
Thanks for the chapter Pop-tan!
Oh, I hope your puppy’s all well now, or on the speedy process of recovery (Your puppy’s gonna be super alright and strong, obviously!)
