Apocalypse: I'm the Landlady of the Refuge

Zhao Liang reacted with lightning speed, directly exploding the ice beneath his feet with a Flame Fist.

Just as he was about to go support Xiong Biao, the Flying Blades coming from all directions forced him to retract his hand.

Zhao Liang immediately gave a meaningful look to the Corpse Man following him, who, understanding the signal, immediately stepped forward to save someone.

The Corpse Man had extremely strong combat abilities, smashing the ice layers on Xiong Biao and Hu Peng with two punches. Even so, Xiong Biao had still been injured by the ice and iron spikes rising from the ground.

Hu Peng and the Corpse Man who went to save him were beheaded by Ji Wanwan’s Space Cutting.

Blood gushing everywhere, Zhao Liang’s pupils shrank, his eyes filled with intense wariness—and beneath that wariness, a hint of mockery.

Arrogant soldiers will inevitably fail. Initially, killing the Level 6 Fire Superpower user Xiang Rui was just a matter of blinking for that young girl. What made that idiot Hu Peng think that he could defeat her with a Level 7 Gold Element Superpower gained by absorbing Crystal Cores?

But it didn’t matter anymore—the fool had paid the price with his life.

With Hu Peng’s death, the Corpse Men under his control became uncontrolled and went berserk on the spot, nearly harming Zhao Liang, who was dodging the Flying Blades.

If not for Zhao Liang’s quick reflexes, he would have been dead by now.

Before he had time to control the Corpse Men, a Flying Blade was thrust directly into the Corpse Man’s brain stem, killing it instantly.

Xiong Biao, who had been saved, had his feet and legs covered in blood, and the severe pain ignited his fury.

Never since the outbreak of the apocalypse had he suffered such harm and humiliation! A gang of children, yet to be weaned, had played him for a fool like this!

At his command, the Corpse Men following Xiong Biao also joined the fight.

Meanwhile, Tian Yu remained motionless.

Wounded, Xiong Biao felt the rage of being deceived, as the violent Earth Energy burst out in an instant, flipping the six people hiding underground out in a moment.

...

Five minutes earlier, inside the Space Barrier.

Ji Wanwan blocked the space from transmitting any sounds from inside: "Everyone, I have a battle plan."

The others looked over, and Ji Wanwan quickly clarified her thoughts: "I’ll create a small space underground and then teleport us down there. To prevent Earth Element Superpower User Xiong Biao from detecting us, I need Haozi to pretreat the Earth Element in this area in advance."

Qi Hao: "OK, no problem for me."

Ji Wanwan continued: "Once we’re down there, we’ll wait for a bit. I’ll use my Space Superpower to eavesdrop on their conversation. When the time is right, we’ll jump out and take them by surprise!

The senior’s Water Elemental Superpower has the highest level and explosive power. It’s also the hardest for them to shake off. When the time comes, the senior will strike first, and the rest of us will follow up immediately, aiming to take them down in one go!"

...

On the surface.

Just as the enraged Xiong Biao was flipping out Ji Wanwan and the others, he felt a momentary distortion of the space around him, just like when Hu Peng was beheaded.

He instantly realized something and quickly jumped up to dodge.

The swift Space Cutting severely wounded his Corpse Men, leaving them incapacitated instantly.

As for himself, even though he jumped up to avoid the Space Cutting, the Ice Blade and piles of earth that followed made him curse non-stop. What was worse, he heard the sound of gunfire.

"Pfft..."

An Ice Blade pierced into his blood-drenched foot and went straight through his right calf. With a painful scream, Xiong Biao’s mobility plummeted.

Before he had the chance to resist, Xia Li’s Cross Slash arrived.

This time, Xiong Biao didn’t even let out a scream before being chopped into pieces.

"Oh wow, that’s brutal, so scary. I need a hug from big sis!" Seeing Xiong Biao dead and having kept Zhao Liang at bay with the Flying Blades, Ji Xing relaxed and couldn’t help but joke around.

Qi Hao heard this and naturally wouldn’t pass up the chance to join in the jest: "Then I also want a comforting hug."

"I’m just saying, what if it actually happens?"

Xu Siming’s eyes darted around, and he wanted to speak as well.

However, Ji Wanwan didn’t give him the chance. She rolled her eyes in an unseemly manner, "All of you, fuck off!"

Zhou Kai, who had been enjoying the drama and taking every opportunity to sneak in shots, couldn’t help but curl his lips in schadenfreude.

Unlike the jovial atmosphere on Ji Wanwan’s side, the moment Xiong Biao died, Zhao Liang’s face turned ashen.

Not to mention Hu Die didn’t see it, the two brainless and impulsive idiots, Hu Peng and Xiong Biao, were dead!

He was one against six, with no chance of winning!

"Thud!"

Zhao Liang rolled and dodged, only to realize he had hit an invisible barrier.

He paused slightly.

The president?

He looked around and saw Tian Yu standing still, while the girl in black gazed at him with deep eyes. Zhao Liang knew that this Space Barrier was the work of the girl in black.

In that moment, Zhao Liang stopped struggling. Reluctantly covering the wound on his arm, he met the girl in black’s gaze with a defiant and unwilling look in his eyes.

Just as Ji Wanwan was about to crush Zhao Liang and end today’s sneak attack, Zhao Liang suddenly shouted from within the Space Barrier, "Everyone is dying, won’t you take action now?!"

Ji Wanwan was caught off guard, thinking Zhao Liang was talking about Tian Yu, but the next second, she felt her Space Barrier being challenged by a powerful force.

"Boom!"

The Space Barrier shattered, and Ji Wanwan was hit with the backlash, immediately feeling a sweetness in her throat.

At the same time, Tian Yu moved with a speed comparable to Instant Teleportation, appeared in front of Qi Hao in a flash, and struck his face with a punch, sending him flying.

The trail of red blood that flashed across the sky caught the remaining five off guard, terrifying them.

Such explosive power, so terrifying!

"Brother Qi Hao!!!"

At that moment, Ji Wanwan almost had a heart attack, instantly teleporting next to Qi Hao.

On the other side, Xia Li reacted quickly, stepping forward with her sword to block Tian Yu with a Cross Slash to prevent him from continuing to damage her teammates.

The other four, seeing this, also threw themselves into the fray.

Meanwhile, seeing Qi Hao’s head caved in on one side, now unrecognizable and his life hanging by a thread, Ji Wanwan felt a rush of blood in reverse, her whole body going cold.

No, no, no—

She shook as she reached out to grasp Qi Hao’s hand, "System, initiate Equivalence Healing immediately!"

System: "The target’s spirit power is 20%, physical strength is 15%. As both spirit and physical strength are below 30%, the target’s body is on the verge of death. Equivalence Healing is ineffective."

"Buzz—"

The roaring tinnitus echoed in Ji Wanwan’s ears, and her eyes reddened instantly, "Equivalence Healing, exchange all supplies, save him, now!!!"

The System had never seen its host lose control like this before.

After a brief silence, the System could only attempt, "I will try to repair the target’s body, but I cannot guarantee recovery of his spirit or physical strength..."

The System was interrupted by Ji Wanwan’s cold and hate-filled voice before it could finish, "I said save him now! Don’t you understand?!"

The System fell silent, no longer speaking. It immediately began repairing Qi Hao’s body.

As she watched Qi Hao’s disfigured face being slowly restored, Ji Wanwan’s mind raced with the memories of the time she had shared with Qi Hao in their two lifetimes...
