Chapter 375 City A
Wang Chao waited a minute, and when War didn't say anything, he continued. "I will not let some overbearing piece of shit like you ruin the only good thing in my life. So, I suggest that you hide somewhere in the recesses of my mind where I will never be able to find you. Because you seem to forget that I am War too, and make no mistake, when it comes to Li Dai Lu, I will destroy anything that comes between us."
Finally, it was Wang Chao's turn to approach the first barrier. As soon as the guard saw him, he immediately raised his gun, causing all the other 18 guards to do the same. "Take off your helmet," the guard demanded, approaching Wang Chao. "And get off your bike."
Wang Chao lifted the visor to his helmet and stared at the guard. "Do you really not know me? Or are you telling me that I can't enter my own city?" There was a sarcastic grin on his face as he looked at the guards. Yes, he might have pushed everything to the side to make Li Dai Lu like him, but deep down? This was who he was.
"Sir," said the guard, putting down his gun and coming to attention. "Sorry that I didn't recognize you." Wang Chao grunted his reply. "It's fine. You are doing a good job. You shouldn't have given me an easy pass without being able to identify me. But now that you have "Yes, Sir, General, Sir," shouted the guard. The rest of the guards saluted him before rushing to remove all of the barriers.
seen me and my bike, I expect not to have to wait at the back of the line next time."
"Yes, Sir, General, Sir," shouted the guard. The rest of the guards saluted him before rushing to remove all of the barriers.
'So, you actually are a someone. I was worried that this reincarnation was nothing but a pussy,' said War before he slipped back into the darkness. Wang Chao snorted. He understood that the War inside of him was all bite, no bark. He just had to figure out how to get him out. Hopefully, his friend would be here to help him.
Ignoring War, Wang Chao lowered his visor and nodded his head to the men. He revved his engine and then sped off down the street.
Outside of all the barricades, City A hadn't changed a bit since the end of the world came. The streets were cleared, and not a single car or burnt bus littered the streets. The buildings were clean, still standing tall and proud, with not a hint of graffiti on them. In fact, he would never have thought that there were zombies just outside the gates if he hadn't seen them himself.
It was no wonder that Li Dai Lu said that the city would fall a few years from now. They were utterly unprepared for the reality of the current world. There were even families walking around with their young children, going shop to shop, and finding what they were looking for.
And yet, he just came from a compound near City N where people were eating children simply to survive.
Inside the privacy of his helmet, Wang Chao sneered his disgust at the whole thing. And the worst part of it all was that if he had been here when the EMP went off and never met Li Dai Lu, he would have thought this was perfectly normal. With a shake of his head, he raced down the empty streets and to one of the tallest buildings in City A. Next to his own, of course.

"Are you going to be okay?" asked Wang Chao as he got off Ares. Pulling off his helmet, he ran his fingers through his hair and placed his helmet on the handlebars. Ares snorted at his question. 'I might not be Lin, but I am more than capable of handling anyone that wants to go for a ride. But that is beside the point. I will disappear as soon as you leave until you need me again."
"All right, I'll let you know when I need you. And Ares… If something happens and I don't come back, bring a man named Bin An Sha to Li Dai Lu. He will protect her if I can't," said Wang Chao, feeling a sharp, shooting pain in his heart as he said those words. But he was being pragmatic. He would fight tooth and nail to get back to his woman, but if he couldn't… well, that was what plan B was for.
Ares snorted. "What? You think just anyone can drive me? Ha!" Not bothering to confirm Wang Chao's orders or deny them, Ares disappeared right in front of Wang Chao's eyes.
Wang Chao walked up the marble steps to the front doors of the building. He gripped the handle but quickly discovered that it was locked. With a sneer, he quickly melted the metal lock and strolled in like he owned the place.
Where the security guard once sat, greeting the prominent members of society who lived there, there was nothing. Wang Chao stopped for a second, wondering if maybe something happened here that he didn't know about. After all, he had left the city a month before shit hit the fan.
"Are you lost?" asked a man coming down the stairs in front of him. The lobby to the condo had changed. There was never a set of stairs so obvious, the patrons preferring to take the elevator wherever possible, but without electricity, Wang Chao guessed that things had to change.
"Nope," he said with a tight smile. "How have you been, Zhao Jun Jie?"
"Better before you showed your face," replied the other man. Wang Chao stared at the man who was Li Dai Lu's original fiancé. Then scoffed.
This pretty boy would be eaten in a matter of minutes if he ever showed up in front of her.
