Chapter 215.1: Apocalypse Survival (19)

  After Ruan Qing realized what was happening, he stared stiffly at the man, his fingers under his sleeves clenched tightly, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.

Because he felt like he had made a mistake.

The man’s eyes were as calm as water, indifferent and ruthless, showing no regard for human life, nor any excitement about the imminent acquisition of four hundred thousand points.

It was as if he didn’t care about those four hundred thousand points at all.

Anyone acquainted with someone like Su Zhen and Lu Rufeng wouldn’t lack points.

Even if it’s lacking, it wouldn’t be to that extent.

So there was a real possibility that this man might kill him.

And his recent actions had angered him.

Ruan Qing pressed his lips together, dared not struggle or resist anymore, and didn’t even blink.

Stiff as a delicate doll, he looked obedient and quiet.

The man seemed quite satisfied with Ruan Qing’s posture. He chuckled lightly and pressed the muzzle of the gun a little closer.

“Young Master, please get off the car.”

The stimulation of the gun made Ruan Qing tremble slightly, but he could only stiffen his body, slowly lift his feet, and step on the ground, stepping out of the passenger seat.

Jiang Shuyu rushed over to stop them, but before she could do anything, the gun suddenly went off.

There was a black hole on the edge of the seat where Jiang Shuyu’s head had been, still emitting black smoke.

If it had been just one centimeter closer to Jiang Shuyu, the bullet would have pierced her skull directly.

After firing the gun, the man pressed the muzzle against Ruan Qing’s forehead again.

It happened so fast, in less than a second, that no one could react.

Jiang Shuyu’s eyes widened, her eye sockets instantly reddening. Just as she was terrified and at a loss, the next second she saw Ruan Qing’s hand move slightly at his side.

Because the man outside didn’t see it due to Ruan Qing’s body blocking the view, but Jiang Shuyu saw it clearly.

She even saw Ruan Qing kicking something under the seat.

Jiang Shuyu was lying on the passenger side at this moment. She hesitated slightly, clenched her own hands, and let the man take Ruan Qing off the car.

She herself seemed to be trembling with fear, lying there motionless.

The man seemed to have scanned the surroundings. This place was a major road, with nothing nearby, and no zombies either.

It was relatively safe to stop the car here.

“Good, raise your hands.” The man’s tone carried a hint of indulgence, but it was only superficial.

Because his fingers never left the trigger, as if prepared to use the gun without hesitation at any sign of Ruan Qing’s misbehavior.

Ruan Qing slowly raised his hands, completely submissive.

Indeed, entirely submissive.

The man was too fast. Ruan Qing still didn’t know how the gun was taken away from him.

He hadn’t even blinked, completely missing the man’s movements, and the gun instantly ended up in the man’s hands.

Even when he had just fired the gun towards Jiang Shuyu, it was unbelievably quick.

But thinking about Su Zhen’s god-like strength, it didn’t seem unreasonable.

The man’s name was Ning Wang. After Ruan Qing raised his hands, he decisively cut off Ruan Qing’s messenger bag with a knife, letting the bag fall to the ground.

Then Ning Wang reached into Ruan Qing’s pockets, taking out everything inside, throwing them on the ground like trash.

Only when everything in Ruan Qing’s pockets was thrown away did Ning Wang stop.

Ning Wang kicked the things on the ground a few times.

There weren’t many props, almost all of them were worthless and of little use. Most players only exchanged them when they had no points.

It didn’t seem like he had a bunch of S-class props as he thought.

But most of the other things were deadly, such as various poisons and erosive chemicals.

There were even chemicals that could explode.

Even the needles were poisoned, with a dark and ominous color, looking extremely dangerous.

Ning Wang clicked his tongue a few times, “Su Zhen and Lu Rufeng didn’t wrongly frame you.”

The young man’s appearance was too deceptive; it was easy to be deceived by him if one wasn’t careful.

After all, no one would expect someone as delicate as a flower to carry so many deadly things.

Beautiful indeed, but dipped in deadly poison.

Ning Wang finished speaking and looked at Ruan Qing, speaking lightly, “You’re quite bold.”

Ning Wang’s tone didn’t reveal any emotions, as if praising and mocking at the same time.

Ruan Qing remained silent, tightly pursing his lips, enduring the numbness and weakness in his feet.

Standing on one foot was too exhausting, especially considering Ruan Qing’s already frail body. Even if he gritted his teeth and persisted, he would soon be unable to hold on.

His body trembled slightly.

The man’s gun remained in place, and Ruan Qing didn’t dare to reach out to hold the car door beside him. He could only ease the pressure on his sprained foot slightly.

However, with the foot sprained repeatedly, even a slight touch was painful. As soon as he landed, Ruan Qing’s forehead was covered in fine sweat.

But he didn’t look disheveled. Instead, it added a hint of fragile beauty to him.

He appeared helpless and pitiful.

Even as the sweat trickled down, the faint scent of orchids became stronger.

So strong that even if Ning Wang wasn’t very close, he seemed to catch a whiff.

Ning Wang’s eyes darkened slightly at the sight, but the next moment, he frowned, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Ning Wang indeed appreciated the young man’s boldness. Anything the young man carried with him could directly endanger his life if mishandled.

But he very much disliked the young man’s act of pretending to be weak and pitiful, and he detested even more the young man’s use of his appearance to deceive others’ emotions.

Moreover, after deceiving emotions to achieve his goals, he even kicked people aside.

Otherwise, those few people wouldn’t have gone crazy and offered a reward of a hundred thousand points, showing just how excessive the young man’s actions were.

Presumably, he was deceiving not only with props but also with emotions.

Ning Wang had no intention of pampering him. He pointed to the back seat of the car with the gun and spoke slowly, “Get in.”

Due to his foot injury and the stiffness from standing for too long, Ruan Qing’s legs had already gone numb, making walking difficult.

He was even walking very unsteadily, limping along.

Ning Wang didn’t offer to help Ruan Qing. After Ruan Qing got into the car, Ning Wang got in as well.

Probably because Ruan Qing didn’t have much left on him and there was no danger, Ning Wang directly took back the knife and gun, then threw the car keys onto the center console in front.

“Miss, please drive towards the pier.”

Jiang Shuyu, afraid, bit her lip and tremblingly picked up the car keys, starting to drive as Ning Wang instructed.
