Chapter 72 - 72 : Be the King of the Apocalypse
Man Yu proudly said, “Yeah, maybe we are the ancestors of future humanity! Life has become harder, but we can’t approach it with a more difficult mindset.”
Professor Feng sighed, put down his chopsticks, and went upstairs.
Man Yu shrugged her shoulders. “Older people always worry too much.”
Fu Shinan didn’t say anything and looked at Xiao Chang’an silently eating.
Young people could endure for a while, but it was the elderly and children who needed to replenish their vitamins. If they couldn’t have vegetables and fruits for an extended period, their health would undoubtedly suffer. As she immersed herself in her thoughts, they suddenly heard the sound of a car engine from outside the courtyard.
Xiao Chang’an immediately stood up and ran out with his short legs. “It must be Uncle coming back!” Ji Zan promised him yesterday that he would find a toy for him today, and he had been eagerly anticipating it. When he heard the sound of the car, he couldn’t hold back his excitement.
Fu Shinan couldn’t help but feel envious. “Children are still the best. They can be satisfied with just one toy.”
Man Yu also smiled. Children are indeed easily satisfied.
However, when the two of them finished their meal and tidied up the dishes, Xiao Chang’an hadn’t come in, and there was no sound from outside.
Fu Shinan felt something was wrong and quickly went outside, only to see Cao Yong with a smug expression on his face.
He smiled like a big villain. “Miss Fu, we meet again.”
“You’re indeed not dead!” Fu Shinan’s eyes shifted as she saw Xiao Chang’an with his eyes closed. Her expression changed slightly. “What happened to him?”
Cao Yong leisurely replied, “Don’t worry. The kid might be tired and fell asleep.”
Fu Shinan looked at Xiao Chang’an’s belly and indeed noticed a slight movement. Her tense emotions relaxed a bit. “What do you want this time? Threatening a child, how uninteresting.”
Cao Yong chuckled, his eyes narrowed. “Children are uninteresting, but he is a useful child! Miss Fu, come with us. What Ji Zan can offer you, I can offer you ten times more. With my powers, combined with your abilities, we can build an invincible fortress, and you and I will be the new rulers of this world! Why should you stay under Ji Zan’s control? Enduring his meekness every day is not the life you should be living!”
Fu Shinan slowly reached for the side of the door, where a hunting rifle was placed. It was snatched by Ji Zan from Wu Bail s hands. With a calm expression, she said, “What do you really know? I didn’t even know I had such great abilities. How come you know?!”
Cao Yong chuckled lightly, “Miss Fu, have you forgotten about my power? I know that you’re different from us. You’re lucky. Heaven has granted you extraordinary defensive abilities. You can build an incredibly strong fortress, and when combined with my foresight, we will be the most perfect partners! I really don’t understand why you’re still hesitating.” As he spoke, he became more and more excited, as if he could already see the grand future ahead.
Seeing Fu Shinan still silent, he continued, “As long as you’re willing to cooperate with me, I’ll release the child immediately! I can command you, and wherever I say is undoubtedly the safest place.”
“What if I don’t agree?” Fu Shinan already had a grip on the hunting rifle. At such a close distance, she might be able to give it a try.
Cao Yong suddenly took a step back, “Miss Fu, I advise you not to have any other thoughts, or else I’ll strangle Xiao Chang’an.” As he spoke, his arm tightened.
Suddenly, the unconscious Xiao Chang’an’s small face turned red.
“No!” Fu Shinan quickly dropped the gun in her hand. “Okay, I agree. Just release the child first.”
At this moment, an old voice also came from the entrance, “Release the child quickly. Everything else can be discussed! Children are very fragile…”
Seeing Professor Feng coming out, Fu Shinan immediately had a daring idea. She immediately followed suit, saying, “Yes, everything can be discussed. Let’s not make things difficult for the child.”
Cao Yong, however, casually said, “What if Miss Fu changes your mind? It would be difficult for me to find you again! That’s why the child can’t be released first. Miss Fu, do you understand what I mean?”
Seeing Cao Yong’s high level of caution, Fu Shinan frowned and walked to the stone steps at the entrance, saying, “I’ll go with you. Can you release the person cao Yong snappea ms lingers, ana a small car punea up to me gate.
Two men whom Fu Shinan had never seen before stepped out of the car, leering at her. “Miss Fu, please.”
Fu Shinan’s face turned cold as she approached Cao Yong. But at that moment, she delivered an elbow strike towards Cao Yong. She wanted to use her explosive force to force Cao Yong to release the child, but she overlooked the fact that Cao Yong wasn’t as weak as he appeared!
He was skilled in martial arts.. Cao Yong smoothly evaded Fu Shinan’s attack, and with his fingers extended, he firmly grabbed her wrist!
