Blood Warlock: Succubus Partner In The Apocalypse Chapter 34

After about five minutes, all the zombies, even the farthest one in sight, had been completelyannihilated by the group of four.

Bai Zemin looked on indifferently as the blood of over two hundred zombies had accumulated to form alarge pool of blood. Although his expression was casual, several thoughts flickered in his mind as helooked at his own status window.

The battle had lasted only a few minutes but Bai Zemin had consumed five Stamina points. While itwas true that five points were not much compared to his one hundred and eighty total points, the realitywas that this small scuffle against the zombies had made Bai Zemin realize even more that even if hewas strong he had not reached the point of being able to take on an army of inexhaustible creaturesthat knew neither the meaning of the word fear nor the meaning of the word pain.

A few hundred zombies was fine, but if there were several thousand of them, then even Bai Zeminhimself would have no choice but to retreat before his Stamina was completely consumed, or else hewould end up becoming zombie food.

Liang Peng was panting slightly, obviously his Stamina stats were not particularly high and he hadprobably consumed even more than Bai Zemin, whose body had evolved steadily and more evenly.

Chen He was picking up some arrows while rubbing his fingers softly, seemingly numb. Moreover, hischest was rising and falling smoothly; even if he hadn’t had to run all over the place, the optimalconcentration he had to exert to shoot three arrows at the same time with total accuracy was not asimple thing and the pressure was immense for him.

As for Shangguan Bing Xue, she was as indifferent as ever and it was simply impossible to know whatwas going through her mind.

Soon, the group of survivors entered the restaurant and began to inspect what they could and could nottake. As they passed by the blood-filled corpses, the smell of iron assaulted their nostrils and many ofthem had to be supported by others in order to move forward as their legs had softened to the pointwhere they could fall to the ground at any moment.

“What do we do?” Xu Fen whispered quietly as he looked out the window of the small building.

He Yuhan was silent for more than a minute before finally saying somewhat hesitantly, “I think weshould try to contact them…”

“What?! And what if they also end up being just like Qiao Long and abuse of their power?” Xu Fendidn’t seem very willing. Although he had previously asked what to do, he actually hoped not to have toleave this place.

Fear and the things he had seen over the past week had turned Xu Fen into a frightened person whowould rather starve to death than take the slightest risk.

He Yuhan also hesitated a little when he heard this. However, he shook his head and said resolutely,“No, I don’t think they are the same as that bitch surnamed Qiao! The president of the studentassociation Shangguan Bing Xue was with them and she is known for her impartiality. Besides, as awoman, she definitely won’t allow such atrocious acts like Qiao Long committed to happen before her.”

Xu Fen could not help but nod. He had also recognized Shangguan Bing Xue among the survivors, shewas an extremely strong and capable fighter with the ability to create ice at will and control it as if it wassomething she had been doing all her life.

Considering that Shangguan Bing Xue was known to be extremely righteous in her decisions in thepast, Xu Fen believed that she would not turn into a beast with human skin so soon.

“Besides, if we don’t go with them, we’ll die like starving dogs here… Worse yet, a zombie mightappear at night and eat us without us noticing!” He Yuhan shook his head and slowly stood up, fightingthe dizziness that struck him as a result of not having eaten anything for three whole days.

Seeing him walk towards the door, Xu Fen gritted his teeth before standing up and following closelybehind.

The group of more than twenty survivors found plenty of food in the restaurant. The only unfortunatething was that most of the food was not durable as canned food was not particularly popular here.

Even so, over thirty kg of rice, noodles, flour, and other miscellaneous items were found that did notneed any particular care except to be kept away from moisture. This type of food could last a long timewithout too much specific care which was a good thing.

Apart from plain food, they also found white meat and red meat, but because the gymnasium’srefrigerator was not particularly large, they could only take a few kilos before they had to leave the restthere since defrosted meat would not last long before going bad anyway.

After filling approximately sixty backpacks with all kinds of food and drink, the group that had foundenough food to feed a hundred people for at least another two weeks was about to leave when twopeople came into view.

“Other survivors?” Chen He was surprised and moved forward. However, before he could go too far,Shangguan Bing Xue stopped him and gestured for him to stay in his place.

She looked at the two people cautiously and asked, “My name is Shangguan Bing Xue, may I knowwho you are?”

“Sh-Shangguan president… M-My name is He Yuhan, a third year student.” He Yuhan could not helpbut stammer nervously before introducing himself.

However, the other young man did not introduce himself and instead stared dazedly at ShangguanBing Xue with wide eyes.

What a beautiful woman! Xu Fen had never had the opportunity to see Shangguan Bing Xue up closeand this was the first time such an opportunity had come his way. However, when he saw how beautifulshe was, he could not help but be stupefied to the point where his brain seemed to have stoppedworking.

Her cold face was like that of an ice angel and the curves of her body were so lovely that even herdress could not fully cover them. Xu Fen felt all the lack of energy he felt before disappear just byseeing her.

Shangguan Bing Xue couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows slightly and a look of disgust flashed in hereyes. Although she was already used to such looks, such impudence to stare at her undisguisedly wasstill unbearable.

“Hey, didn’t anyone teach you politeness?” a cold voice snapped Xu Fen out of his daze and he wasstartled when he saw Chen He staring at him with icy coldness.

Bai Zemin secretly raised an eyebrow. To think that this handsome and kind guy was actually capableof speaking in that tone and giving that kind of look… Interesting, he thought.

“I-I’m sorry!” Xu Fen blushed fiercely and quickly apologized before introducing himself.

The atmosphere became extremely awkward after what happened earlier and after the introduction ofthe two newcomers, everyone fell silent.

“So…” Bai Zemin broke the silence as he looked at the two men around his own age and questioned,“What do you guys want? Join our group?”

He Yuhan’s eyes lit up and he nodded hurriedly, “That’s right! We would like to join your group!Although we can’t fight, doing jobs like carrying food should be easy!”

He Yuhan was a smart guy. Previously he had seen how the survivors worked with the food while thefour fighters and three other people did nothing; therefore, he had come to the conclusion that this wasa group with certain tactical rules.

“That’s good.” Bai Zemin nodded with a small smile. “As long as you are not leeches, you guys arewelcome.”

“Even if they are leeches we can’t just let them die casually.” Shangguan Bing Xue pointed out.

Bai Zemin looked at her briefly before saying lightly, “Well, you’ll have to give them some of your foodin that case. Personally, I am not anyone’s father here. This group was formed to survive and livebetter, not to drag burdens.”

“Aren’t your words a bit rude?” Chen He couldn’t help but frown. To him, Shangguan Bing Xue was themost important person in the world, even more than his family. Therefore, he always cared abouteverything related to her.

“Hehe…” Bai Zemin chuckled before looking at him with a touch of sympathy as he said, “Let me seehow far you go with your kind-hearted mentality. When your kindness and hesitation become anobstacle, your life will not be the only thing in danger.”

Saying that, Bai Zemin’s gaze momentarily paused on the silver-haired woman before turning hisattention away from this pair of strange friends.

Shangguan Bing Xue looked at Chen He and then looked at Bai Zemin who looked casual. She sighedin her heart.

While it was true that Bai Zemin’s words were not pleasant to listen to and Chen He was helping her,the reality was that in this new world Bai Zemin’s words were far more logical. Moreover, while ChenHe’s personality was almost perfect, this was in the world before the Soul Record came to this planet;in this new era, such a personality would only attract troubles.

It was just that for her it was not simple to abandon people. She was raised in a very powerfulgovernment family and Shangguan Bing Xue felt it was her responsibility to protect others when in factit was not.
