Blood Warlock: Succubus Partner In The Apocalypse Chapter 27

“My wounds are fine now. Thank you for asking.” Bai Zemin took a moment to look at the faces of thepeople in front of him before looking at Shangguan Bing Xue and replying.

Hearing that he was indeed fine and confirming it through his natural voice, Shangguan Bing Xue’seyes had a strange glint in them after confirming that his wounds had effectively healed.

“I see.” She only nodded before looking at Chen He silently.

The talented archer understood the intention behind her gaze and slowly began to explain to Bai Zeminthe situation.

“During the past three days when you were recovering, the condition of the sick due to the lowtemperatures of their bodies improved with the help of the general calefaction. Thank you for that.” Hehonestly thanked on behalf of the rest of the survivors. Soon, however, he frowned and continued, “Butthere is another problem at present.”

Bai Zemin was not surprised. He nodded slightly and finished his words instead, “The food is runninglow, isn’t it?”

“That’s right.” Chen He sighed and scratched his head in frustration. “Currently, because we didn’t wantto make the situation any worse than it already is, we let everyone eat their fill. The problem is that nowthe reserved food finally ran out. We can only last until tomorrow.”

Liang Peng, who had been silent with his big hammer, interrupted, “Then why don’t we just go getsome more? Those zombies are slow as hell and those dogs and cats may be fast but they’re toodumb. I don’t think we’ll have a problem if we all move together.”

“In fact.. I’m afraid we have no choice but to go out and forage for food at the university restaurants.”Chen He had no choice but to say yes.

Food was an indispensable resource that could not be missed. Even the strongest evolvers had nochoice but to eat to provide nutrients that the body needed but did not produce naturally. Without food,everyone would weaken to the point where lifting a single finger would be a challenge. Moreover, thechaos resulting from starvation was something no one was willing to let happen.

“Besides…” Cai Jingyi, the same girl who had met Bai Zemin at the beginning of the apocalypse,suddenly seemed to gather the courage to speak. Although she felt a little self-conscious undereveryone’s gaze, she continued, “If possible it would also be good if we can get clothes… Actually,since there are male and female changing rooms for showering, hygiene is not much of a problem.However, after almost a week of wearing the same clothes, it is starting to become a bit unbearable.”

“We will definitely get more clothes.” Shangguan Bing Xue was the first to agree as she frownedslightly. Although her clothes were free of dirt stains and her white dress along with her silver hair madeher look like an angel, the truth was that after not being able to change even once in six days, hermood was not the best.

The corner of Bai Zemin’s mouth twitched a couple of times but he said nothing. Even he did not feelcomfortable with the current situation, not to mention the women who were by nature beings whoconstantly worried about cleanliness.

Seeing that no one disagreed with her words, Cai Jingyi couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

“By the way…” Taking advantage of the momentary silence, Bai Zemin looked at Chen He and casuallyasked, “The army, the government, the police forces… No word on this?”

Hearing his question, Liang Peng, Cai Jinyi, and the few teachers present looked at Chen He waitingfor his answer.

“Nothing…” Chen He shook his head to no one’s surprise.

“But.” A bespectacled teacher interrupted with an anxious expression. “Young master Chen, your Chenfamily is a big family with power in the army and your father a Regimental Commander? Shouldn’t theysend someone for you at least?”

Bai Zemin couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Family with military backing? Regimental Commander?He hadn’t expected Chen He to have such a background.

To think that this handsome guy’s father was actually a veteran soldier with military rank Colonel. BaiZemin had a strange glint and his gaze could not help but shift slightly towards Shangguan Bing Xue…Then, her background should be similar or superior to Chen He’s.

Chen He’s face changed slightly but soon returned to normal. He looked at Shangguan Bing Xue for amoment before sighing: ”Indeed… I was hoping that my family would get here soon, but apparently thesituation is far worse than we all thought.”

“How can that be possible…?” The teacher who had spoken earlier looked desperate and his face lostall color.

If even an important person like Chen He had been practically abandoned to his fate by his own family,how could they, people with no real backing, expect support from the government or the army? It wasnothing but wishful thinking!

They all looked desperate for a moment. The only two people whose expression remained unchangedwere the indifferent Shangguan Bing Xue and Liang Peng who was casually looking around.

Even Bai Zemin’s expression turned a bit ugly. Not because of the lack of military or governmentalresponse; but because of his family… The worse the situation was outside, the less likely it was that hisfamily would survive amidst such chaos!

They have to be okay. No matter what, definitely nothing could happen to them… Bai Zemin clenchedhis fists, ignoring the pain in his left hand. Every time he thought about his family, his heart squeezedhard as if a giant stone was pressing down on it.

However, no matter how much he wanted to see them and run out to replace them, he couldn’t do that. Asstrong as he was, Bai Zemin did not know what kind of dangers dwelled outside this place and he wasnot arrogant enough to believe that his strength was enough to overcome them all.

“Then, let’s go replace the food we can.” Bai Zemin said coldly. His tone of voice lacked emotion,“However, there should be some changes from now on.”

Everyone looked at him in surprise, noticing the change in his eyes and his indifferent voice seemed tohold a higher weight than in the past. While Bai Zemin was previously indifferent, his currentindifference contained several degrees of coldness that was not there before.

“What do you mean?” Shangguan Bing Xue furrowed her eyebrows slightly, also secretly surprised bythe abrupt change.

Bai Zemin looked at her and slowly explained, “From now on, those who are unwilling to help in anyway will only be able to eat enough to not starve. To be honest, I have no time to waste with leecheshere. If no one is willing to move to advance and get out of this damn place, then I will start moving onmy own with people who really want to get out of this hellhole. But I definitely won’t get dragged downby anyone!”

Lilith, who was visible only to Bai Zemin, stood silently beside him. When she heard his words, hereyes glittered and a silent smile rose on her lips.

From a certain point of view, it could be said that this was the first major change in Bai Zemin after theworld had changed. He had already saved many people out of kindness, but if they wanted to keep him

using that kindness, then he would abandon them without even a second thought; to him, his familywas everything.

As long as he had such an impulse, then he would not be held back by anything… Lilith’s only worrywas that if Bai Zemin’s family did not survive, it was probable that he would not be able to rally a motiveto fight for; therefore, she had to think of countermeasures.

No matter what, she couldn’t just let him fall in this place.

“Wait, wait a moment!” Liang Peng raised his voice and looked at Bai Zemin with wide eyes, “Are youcrazy?!”

Bai Zemin casually looked him up and down before looking him in the eyes and asking coldly, “And youare what? My previous words were not a question. What I said is what will happen, whether you like itor not, you don’t have a choice here!”
