Lord of End of World-Chapter 149

Chapter 149

Just like the saying, “it’s better to arrive at the right time than arrive too early”, the Gong family arrived on the day the Song family was about to release a new disinfectant to the world. All the leaders of the survivor bases in the whole Country C gathered together in Liaocheng and wanted to witness the magical effect of this disinfectant. Of course, they were prepared as well. There was a long list of supplies in their arms. As long as the disinfectant was as effective as the rumours, they would immediately exchange the supplies for them. No matter how much material was given away, it couldn’t be more important than life. With this medicine, one wouldn’t need to worry when fighting zombies.

After settling in, Song Haoxuan smiled and invited everybody of Gong Yuanhang’s party to participate in the evening’s pharmacy press conference. Of course, he didn’t forget to invite all the fourth-level masters in Gong family’s base. Let them see for themselves how powerful the Song family’s base was, which could also be considered and disguised lure.

“Brother Song, I have a headache. I want to rest early, so I won’t go to the event at night.” Gong Xiangyi quickly waved her hand and refused. As soon as she entered the Song family’s base, she saw the grisly faces that had tortured her in her previous life. She felt palpitations and panic, making her uncomfortable.

“Headache? I’ll ask a doctor to come and see you.” Song Haoxuan smiled and stepped forward to observe Gong Xiangyi’s complexion. His red and purple eyes were full of worry.

“No, no need.” Gong Xiangyi waved her hand and took two steps back without realizing it. Aside from Ma Zhihong, she was most afraid of Song Haoxuan that was in front of her. This person was a demon covered in human skin. Don’t even mention blood, even his bones and soul were rotten, making him more terrible than the zombie emperor.

“It’s dangerous to be sick in these times, so I’ll still call a doctor for insurance. The press conference starts at 8 pm. After seeing the doctor, you can go to sleep then. Someone will come and wake you to participate in the conference. After all, I haven’t seen you in such a long time.” Song Haoxuan’s words were sincere, but there was a strong, undeniable order spoken in between the lines.

Gong Xiangyi’s face paled and she didn’t dare say anything. She frowned and said, “Then, that’s alright.” She’ll be fine with having her younger brother with her.

Song Haoxuan smiled and left with a subordinate. After moving further away, he asked Zheng Chaohe beside him, “Did you feel anything?”

“No. She’s either not a spatial ability user or she’s at fourth-level or above and can freely control her aura to hide. In short, she didn’t feel like anything special.” Zheng Chaohe frowned.

“Space ability user above fourth-level mid-grade? How’s that possible? Only after swallowing so many space ability user’s and the space system zombie’s crystal nucleus did you raise yourself to fourth-level low-grade?” Song Haoxuan shook his head negatively and then said, “Since she’s not a space ability user, then forget about it. There must be some materials hiding somewhere. Gong Xiangyi has the ability to predict the future, that’s how the Gong family collected so much material before the apocalypse. There’s sure to be some things left after just three years. Send someone to watch over them. Those who are suspected of being a space ability user will be taken one by one in the future and all their crystal nuclei will be taken along with the materials in it.”

The abilities of space ability users are really amazing. Their energies are stored in a crystal nucleus in their brain, just like zombies. If you kill and dig out the nucleus and give them to another space ability user, the ability user only needs to push in a bit of power into it. When the power enters the nucleus, one can use the material inside as their own as well as absorb the energy of the crystal nucleus for cultivation. The reason why Zheng Chaohe could level up so fast was because he took other space ability users’ lives.

Hearing Song Haoxuan’s order, Zheng Chaohe smiled greedily and quickly agreed in a low voice.

It was night time. The conference hall was packed and the leaders of Country C survivor bases gathered together to prepare to witness the birth of a miracle. Song Haoxuan brought with him a capable subordinate to sit at the head of the table and toasted and drank celebratory wine with the leaders of the other bases. Although everyone was eager in their hearts, they had to wait patiently when they saw Song Haoxuan taking his time and deliberately creating suspense.

It was not too early anymore when Gong Yuanhang and his party arrived. The brightly lit hall was already full of people and, even before they neared the door, a wave of loud noises could be heard.

“Gong Lixin, you’re late.” Seeing the late youth, Ma Zhihong who was smoking by the door, stood up happily. After going back, he never stopped thinking of the youth that was like a ceramic doll. He felt like flowers had grown in his heart and he couldn’t hold it down anymore. He stood by the door of the conference hall all day long and waited.

Gong Lixin didn’t seem to hear him. Song Haoran and Lin Wenbo also passed by him, walking on the left and right side of Gong Lixin without even glancing at him.

“Wait!” Ma Zhihong threw away his cigarette butt and reached for the young man’s shoulder, but was blocked by a group of master ability users behind him.

Surrounded by a group of fourth-level masters, the overwhelming aura overflowed from their bodies and pressed Ma Zhihong down. The other felt cold beads of sweat on his forehead and he finally moved back, giving them an inviting smile. His gestures were extremely polite. Tan Mingyuan and Wang Tao looked at him coldly before immediately following their boss.

Ma Zhihong let out a deep exhale, turned his head and saw Gong Xiangyi who looked extremely pale. His eyes flickered and he reached out for her. “Beauty, you also came. Have you taken a shower? You smell really fragrant!” He leaned his head towards Gong Xiangyi and sniffed softly.

Gong Xiangyi was shocked and quickly backed away, her body wouldn’t stop shaking.

“Are you all right?” A man stopped her from falling from the back and immediately let go. His behaviour was extremely polite. He turned his head to look at Ma Zhihong and coldly said, “This is a distinguished guest of the leader, you can’t afford to offend them.”

Although there were many fourth level master ability users, their attitude towards Ma Zhihong was quite polite. When they were stationed in Xiangcui Bay, because they were in the middle of the desert and because of the extreme lack of water, the base had to use crystal nuclei to support a group of high-level water ability users. Ma Zhihong was one of them. Don’t look at his high level though, it’s all false posturing. He was only responsible for the base’s water supply, making his combat effectiveness weak. Not to mention fourth-level masters, even many third-level mid-grade and high-grade looked down on him. But they wouldn’t do so knowing what was the condition outside.

Seeing this, Ma Zhihong’s arrogant expression slightly decreased. He sneered coldly and waved his hand before entering through the door.

“It’s alright now. Thank you.” Her back came into contact with a strong chest. Although she barely grazed it, the warm and stable feeling quietly left an impression in Gong Xiangyi’s heart. She turned around and looked at the other’s face, blurting out, “Liao Fan?”

“Miss Gong knows me?” Liao Fan’s eyes flickered as he asked with a smile.

“No, don’t listen to me.” Gong Xiangyi waved her hand, but sighed in her heart and said: I know you, how can I not know you?

In her past life, Liao Fan was a member of Song Haoxuan’s base. He was loyal to Song Haoxuan and did a lot of bad things for him. Later, after Song Haoxuan was killed by Lin Wenbo, Song Haoran, He Jin and Liao Fan were imprisoned. She was soft-hearted back then and saw the tortured Liao Fan and felt pity, so she rescued him several times. Liao Fan had once again become influential and since then, followed her and wouldn’t leave her side until the day she left the base to die outside. Liao Fan had always followed her around and should have ended dead back then too.

Gong Xiangyi had said farewell to him in her past life. Liao Fan was not a handsome man, but his elegant face suddenly slammed into Gong Xiangyi’s eyes, causing her heart to shake hard and almost wanted to make her cry.

“Ms Gong, are you really okay?” Liao Fan asked uncomfortable when he saw Gong Xiangyi’s eyes become flush. Gong Xiangyi was very beautiful. This appearance on the beautiful woman made her look very pitiful. Even the self-proclaimed cold-hearted Liao Fan was touched.

“I’m okay. Go in, the press conference is about to begin.” Gong Xianyi took a deep breath and hurried forward. In the face of someone that was killed by her, she didn’t know how to deal with things.

Looking at Gong Xiangyi’s stiff back, Liao Fan shrugged and stepped forward to keep up.

The row of seats belonging to the Gong family’s base in the hall was still empty. The heavily armed guards at the entrance of the hall saw Gong Yuanhang and his party and quickly reached out to them to invite them into their seats. Although Gong Yuanhang was only an ordinary person among all the leaders present, the group of fourth-level masters that followed him cannot be underestimated. As soon as he entered the conference hall, his extraordinary team attracted the attention of all the base leaders. They whispered and asked each other about the situation of the Gong family’s base.

Gong Lixin looked around and saw He Jin sitting on one of Song Haoxuan’s side, with his head down and his face unclear. Gong Lixin’s eyes flickered as he saw him and he walked straight towards He Jin.

All six of Song Haoxuan’s fourth-level master ability users had attended and were seated one by one according to their rank. He Jin sat alone and stayed at the top, keeping a distance from the others. Others ignored him and talked with each other. When their eyes swept over He Jin, there was a hint of ridicule in them, which showed how the internal situation of the base was.

He Jin had strength and ambition and his temperament was more reckless than any of the other master ability users. He was the most difficult to control, but Song Haoran was a control freak. Seeing that he couldn’t buy He Jin’s heart, he simply smashed him into dust and tortured him. When he was about to die, he reached out a hand. After repeating this so many times, He Jin, the Poisonous Wolf, had finally gotten a little better. Song Haoxuan was very satisfied with the result. He tamed the strong man and watched him humbly prostrate at his feet. Song Haoxuan gained supreme enjoyment from that.

However, what he didn’t know was that He Jin had lowered his head because he didn’t want Song Haoxuan to see the hatred and bloodlust in his eyes. The Poisonous Wolf was a Poisonous Wolf after all. Unless he willingly surrendered, even if he was driven into the dust and forced to die, his arrogant bone would not break.

His clenched fists were hidden under the table. He Jin’s eyelids were slightly closed, his eyes were dark and he didn’t know what to think. It wasn’t until a white, jade-like hand gently rested on his shoulder that he suddenly shuddered and recovered. Who could approach him without him noticing? His heart was horrified and his eyes ablaze as he looked at the owner of the hand.

“Lixin?” He Jin shouted, his expression blank.

Song Haoxuan and his men were all looking towards the young man who was close to He Jin and didn’t shy away from the other. What was Gong Lixin? He Jin fancied this young man? Sure enough, he’s beautiful! Unfortunately, his strength is too low! Looking at Gong Lixin’s slender body and black eyes for a moment, Song Haoxuan’s mouth held a contemptuous arc. This young man’s existence, he had heard from Zheng Chaohe’s mouth long ago. He Jin was quite infatuated with him. When he met the young man, all the ice on He Jin’s body turned into spring water and his emotions were obvious for all to see. Seeing this, Song Hoaxuan playfully rubbed his jaw.

The expression on He Jin’s face changed and he finally showed a hint of helplessness. A trace of nostalgia appeared in his turquoise eyes. He took the young man’s hand and squeezed it before he softly said, “Sit.”

Seeing the tender feelings in the other’s turquoise eyes, Gong Lixin smiled and self-confidently said to himself: Brother He didn’t change, but just hid his feelings deeper.
