Apocalypse: Launching a Counterattack Against the Villainess

Page 67

Then, the humanoid behemoth standing next to Fang Xiang moved.

It shaved off the severed arm from its mouth, and as it opened its mouth, its entire mouth rapidly enlarged, making it look like a giant carnivorous plant.

Then it swallowed half of Fang Xiang's body in one gulp.

The howling stopped abruptly.

All that remained was the crunching sound of chewing.

Having become a transcendent being and possessing skills, Fang Xiang found himself unable to even retaliate against this behemoth.

By the time everyone came to their senses, the monster had already begun to eat Fang Xiang's lower body.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

It's unclear which girl was the first to scream, but it seemed to trigger a chain reaction.

Everyone turned pale and panicked.

The overwhelming power was so overwhelming that it left no room for resistance.

Only one thought remained in my mind: escape as quickly as possible!

However, at that moment, Qin Hehuan's voice rang out again amidst the commotion.

"If you want to eat, go outside."

The monster, which was still chewing on the corpse, suddenly stopped and then tilted its head toward Qin Hehuan.

The next second, it grabbed half a corpse and savagely charged toward the window.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from everyone's sight.

However, the pool of blood left on the ground and the dents in the concrete wall of the window caused by the monster's trampling constantly reminded everyone that everything that had just happened was real.

After a moment of deathly silence, someone finally connected the monster with Qin Hehuan, who had issued the command, based on the footage from earlier.

One after another, terrified faces turned toward the woman standing in the distance.

Qin Hehuan remained expressionless, but she was quite satisfied with the current scene.

In an environment where everyone is about to become a transcendent being, she has to take some radical measures to make these guys remember who really is in charge here.

According to the intelligence she possesses, some zombies will soon undergo a new round of evolution, and the [Trial] is imminent. She must cultivate reliable teammates before then, so everything needs to be accelerated.

However, just as she was about to use her prepared remarks to consolidate her rule, Qin Hehuan suddenly staggered forward, and then her face turned slightly red.

"You stay here and calm these people down."

Qin Hehuan grabbed Saotome Mei, who was standing next to him, and said in a somewhat urgent tone:

"Just say that I summoned the enslaved beast. No one else is allowed to enter my room without my permission."

Saotome never expected that such a thing would happen to her. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Qin Hehuan quickly enter another lecture hall.

……

"Oh!"

After closing the storage room door, Qin Hehuan slumped into a chair, instinctively clamping her legs together, supporting herself on the table with one hand and protecting her chest with the other.

"Nie Qingyun..." The cold voice was tinged with a hint of panting, and his face was filled with resentment.

Unfortunately, this is a side effect of the skill [Mirror Elegy].

As a witch of lust, Qin Hehuan can leave a [Soul Mark] on up to three targets, but only one of the targets with the [Soul Mark] can become a enslaved beast after death.

If another target with a [Soul Imprint] dies, the [Soul Imprint] on their person will also disappear.

If you want to turn it into a enslaved beast, then the previous enslaved beast will disappear.

In other words, [Soul Imprint] is only used as a supplement to combat strength.

But as time went on, when Qin Hehuan applied the [Soul Imprint] to Cheng Yuqiu, she also discovered another use for this skill.

That is sensory perception.

This effect is somewhat similar to Nie Qingyun's "Same-Tone Imperial Censor".

Those who carry the [Soul Imprint] will share some of their tactile sensations and memories with Qin Hehuan.

That's why she let Cheng Yuqiu escape in the first place.

No matter where Cheng Yuqiu escaped to, Qin Hehuan would always find a way to locate her.

Thanks to this, Qin Hehuan quickly discovered from Cheng Yuqiu's memories that the person who had been helping this girl all along was actually Nie Qingyun.

Qin Hehuan was initially shocked when she received this intelligence.

Even now, she still doesn't understand how Nie Qingyun got rid of the [Soul Imprint].

But one thing is undeniable: Nie Qingyun's current strength is extremely high.

This was exactly what Qin Hehuan wanted.

Because Cheng Yuqiu is a special case.

The reason why the Sabak Consortium promoted the relatively unknown Cheng Tianqi to the position of head of the Linjiangtai Security Bureau was not solely due to their family ties.

More importantly, Cheng Yuqiu's mother was the only adaptee of the "Super-Scientific Artificial Witch" project twenty years ago.

The destructive force of the first experiment of this project caused the entire Asian tectonic plate to shift 15 centimeters toward the western Pacific Ocean.

Therefore, the entire project was secretly halted, and Cheng Yuqiu's mother also perished in the experiment.

Now, Cheng Yuqiu, who inherited his mother's bloodline, is the only person in the world who has the hope of restarting the quark collider called the "Magic Wand".

Although few people knew about this matter, and even Cheng Yuqiu himself was unaware of it, the entire Sabak region was not completely secretive.

With the entire world now in chaos, those who have been itching to act will soon take action.

Therefore, before Qin Hehuan obtains that [cane], she must keep Cheng Yuqiu firmly under her control.

Nie Qingyun happens to be an excellent bodyguard.

But what Qin Hehuan didn't expect was...

The effect of [Soul Imprint] is one-way; she cannot transmit any information to Cheng Yuqiu.

She also couldn't block out the feelings coming from Cheng Yuqiu.

This caused her body to experience all sorts of strange sensations without warning.

Especially when night falls, a tingling, electric-like sensation spreads throughout her body.

As someone who had received an elite education, Qin Hehuan certainly knew what the other party was doing.

Unfortunately, she was powerless to stop it at that moment.

"Again...again!"

Qin Hehuan suddenly reached out and pressed her hand against her lower abdomen through her skirt, her face flushing even more.

After a long while, Qin Hehuan finally managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth, panting.

"Nie Qingyun! You...pervert!!!"

Chapter 84: You Can't Even Break My Defense (2.5k)

"Okay, is it done yet...?"

Cheng Yuqiu's voice was filled with shyness and restraint as she leaned against Nie Qingyun's chest.

The hoodie she was wearing had been pulled to the side, and now she was only wearing a white bra.

Nie Qingyun stood behind the girl, one arm around her waist, the other hand reaching inside her bra.

The snow-white hills are constantly changing shape due to the pressure.

Hearing the girl's voice, Nie Qingyun did not stop what he was doing, and said in a serious tone:

"Don't worry, it'll be ready soon."

"I've never obtained [armor] before, so I need to carefully check how to use it..."

"You...you just want to take advantage~" Cheng Yuqiu's voice was somewhat harsh, but no matter how you listened to it, it had no deterrent effect.

Some time ago, when Cheng Yuqiu took out the bra labeled "protective gear," Nie Qingyun was indeed startled.

In his mind, everything that could be held in his hands and could be "authenticated" would have its attributes automatically altered by the "data system".

For example, when you can "verify" the various foods you find in a store, their attributes will change to throwable items.

The same applies to clothing; some clothes will be displayed as "clothing," while others will simply be displayed as "miscellaneous items."

This was the first time Nie Qingyun had ever seen anything labeled "armor".

Furthermore, this bra is rated E+, is of green quality, provides 6 points of base defense strength, and also comes with a skill.

[Defense Boost]: Reduces melee damage by an additional 4 points.

Combined with the defense provided by base stamina, it totals 15 points. Adding the 20% defense bonus from the "Princess at the End" achievement, Cheng Yuqiu can directly reduce nearly 20 points of melee physical attack.

Realizing this, Nie Qingyun immediately took Cheng Yuqiu and the zombies to conduct experiments.

The attack power of a normal zombie is approximately between 10 and 20.

When Cheng Yuqiu is in combat mode, ordinary zombies cannot break through her defenses...

Specifically, no matter how the zombies attack, Cheng Yuqiu will not suffer any substantial damage, but will receive a certain degree of impact feedback.

This defensive attribute gradually decreases as stamina declines.

Nevertheless, with these enhancements, Cheng Yuqiu faces virtually zero risk when fighting a single zombie one-on-one.

Thanks to this, the girl also achieved her first solo kill of a zombie.

Although the process was quite clumsy, it made Shikawa Yu and the others extremely envious.

For those who haven't received the immunity booster, defeating zombies isn't difficult; the challenge lies in avoiding injury during the battle.

In conclusion, after testing the basic effects of the armor, all that remains is to confirm the equipment requirements.

Despite feeling intense shame, Nie Qingyun tried it. In fact, the bra's design did have hidden limitations in terms of equipment protection.

That means only women can wear it.

Unlike ordinary clothing, it does not require physical wearing. Simply store it in the [System Space], select "Wear" in the options, and the item will be automatically equipped.

And it won't be displayed, nor will it affect your actual attire.

For example, even now, with that bra armor, Cheng Yuqiu only appears to be wearing her original white bra.

Thus, Nie Qingyun realized another very important thing.

That means that in future battles against transcendent beings, one should not judge their true defensive capabilities based on their outward attire.

"You rascal, how long are you going to keep kneading me!"

Nie Qingyun rubbed her chest for a while, and if this continued, her panties would get wet again. The young lady finally got anxious.

He grabbed Nie Qingyun's hand:

"Stop touching me!"

"Uh..." Nie Qingyun also withdrew his hand somewhat embarrassedly. Both of them were actually aware of this little bit of taking advantage of each other, and physical contact was very helpful in advancing their relationship.

This can be seen from the young lady's attitude.

Therefore, he knew when to stop while he was ahead, since he still had to take the young lady to meet Senior Lingyuan later, and there were still more troubles to come.

After releasing the girl from his arms, Nie Qingyun put away his playful mood and recounted his previous discoveries and conjectures.

Cheng Yuqiu, however, blushed and didn't hear a word of what he was saying.

She was, after all, still a naive young girl, and it was inevitable that she would feel shy about such intimate contact with a boy, even if the boy was Nie Qingyun.

So, to cover her embarrassment, she rolled her eyes at him, picked up her hoodie from the floor and stuffed it into a nearby locker, then went around behind Nie Qingyun and pushed his back.

"Okay, go out now, I'm going to take a shower!"

The girl pushed him outside, and the changing room door slammed shut.

Nie Qingyun chuckled and touched his nose before walking out of the bathhouse.

While one should be cautious in the apocalypse, one cannot be on edge forever.

After helping Cheng Yuqiu successfully awaken, when Nie Qingyun suggested that everyone take a bath together, seeing that the group was covered in dust, it was met with unanimous approval.
