Chapter 35: Chapter 35 You’re Seeking Death

Half an hour later.

Zhang Tao, who had been sitting in the hall, saw Ji Wanwan emerge with a hot pot and various ingredients, and he felt indignant in his heart.

Why should they only eat the most common dishes when this woman clearly has so many supplies!

If he could snatch them all, he could enjoy hot pot lavishly too, and he wouldn’t have to follow the damned rules of this place anymore!

What nonsense about money being useless, having to exchange Crystal Cores for supplies.

With all those supplies already, stirring up trouble for nothing, truly sick in the head!

Watching Ji Wanwan enter the canteen, Zhang Tao let out a determined cold laugh and took out the Authority Card from his pocket.

Inside the canteen, the members of the small squad had already put two tables together and neatly arranged the bowls and chopsticks, all seated and just waiting for Ji Wanwan to come and feed them.

Upon seeing her, everyone immediately stood up, “Come on, have a seat quickly!”

Ji Wanwan’s mouth twitched into a smile.

She had her suspicions that this bunch was already crazed with craving…

Not long after sitting down, the aroma of the hot pot began to spread.

Everyone watched over their bowls, eagerly eyeing the hot pot, ready to feast as soon as the slices of meat were cooked.

[ Host, Zhang Tao and his six men have entered the weapon depot.]

[ Okay, I got it.]

Looking at the meat rolling in the pot, Ji Wanwan said something out of the blue, “Thick slices of lamb are best after rolling in boiling broth for three minutes.”

She lowered her gaze to her wristwatch, “45 seconds have already passed…”

Without mentioning it, it wouldn’t have been too bad, but once said, everyone felt three minutes was unbearably long.

Ji Xing sighed, “Ah, this is probably the loneliest three minutes of my life!”

Ji Wanwan’s smile carried a hidden sneer, inwardly mocking, Xingxing, you’re about to no longer be lonely…

No sooner had the thought ended than Zhang Tao and his six men, armed with weapons, were at the canteen doorway.

The six men were fierce and their expressions fierce.

But Ji Wanwan and her four companions focused intently on the hot pot, not even raising their heads or noticing their arrival.

Zhang Tao, having assumed a combative stance, felt humiliated and fired a shot at the ceiling, “Anyone who doesn’t want to die, stand up!”

With the gunshot, there was a moment of silence in both the canteen and the hall.

In an instant, screaming mixed with fear, creating chaos.

In the midst of the confusion, Ji Wanwan’s group finally lifted their heads, but not one of them stood up.

Qi Hao looked bewildered at the doorway, “Wow, they’ve got guns too!”

Xu Siming disdainfully curled his lip, “Take a good look, those are our guns!”

Qi Hao, “Ah?”

Xia Li covered her face with her hand, indicating she didn’t have such teammates.

Ji Xing sighed deeply, frowning in disappointment, “The meat isn’t cooked yet.”

The reaction of the five made Zhang Tao feel humiliated again, “You five! Do you want to die?!”

Ji Xing scoffed disdainfully and took a few gulps of his soda.

Qi Hao widened his round puppy dog eyes, looking left and right.

Although Xia Li had no superpower, she was not panicked at all, merely quietly snorting, behaving like a silent onlooker.

Ji Wanwan lifted her eyelids to glance at Xu Siming.

The latter’s expression was obscure, his eyes red from excessive rage, “It seems to me, you’re the ones who want to die!”

Good, it seemed she wouldn’t have to act personally~

Ji Wanwan curved her lips, contentedly watching the slices of meat in the pot.

It’s good to have helpers, she didn’t even need to personally get involved in the fight.

Zhang Tao never expected the obedient Xu Siming to dare speak to him like that; he immediately pointed the gun at him, “Xu Siming, how dare you speak to me like that! Have you forgotten your father’s last words before he died?!”, “Do you want to bring your father back to life with your insolence?”

Mentioning his father, Xu Siming’s sanity was almost shattered.

Touching a forbidden topic within her heart, Ji Wanwan looked up at Zhang Tao: “If you can’t speak properly, then shut your mouth! If I hear you insult Teacher Xu and Xu Siming again, I won’t hesitate to kick you out of the refuge immediately!”

Despite her calm and unhurried words, Zhang Tao was still startled by her ominous gaze.

But remembering that he had a superiority in numbers, and had taken away all the firearms, Ji Wanwan and her people, even with superpowers, were nothing but flesh and blood before firearms—they were no match for him. Emboldened, Zhang Tao’s confidence resurfaced.

He looked at his minions, laughing arrogantly: “Oh, so Xu Siming is your darling? Is that why you’re protecting him like this?”

“A dog’s mouth can’t spit out ivory!”

Ji Xing raised his hand, and the metal soup ladle wrapped in boiling soup flew towards Zhang Tao, slapping his face in the blink of an eye.

The laughter stopped abruptly, Zhang Tao’s head and face covered in hot, scalding red oil, creating a somewhat comical scene, yet no one dared to laugh.

After a moment of stunned shock, Zhang Tao was brought back to reality by the intense pain.

His cheeks twitching in agony, he raised his hand to wipe away the scorching red oil on his face and cursed furiously, “Md…”

“Bang Bang!”

Enraged, Zhang Tao raised his gun and fired two shots at Ji Xing, causing a number of diners in the cafeteria who were unaware of the circumstances to scream in shock once again.

The instant the bullets left the barrel, a cool breeze swept by, and the bullets were quickly encased in frost.

At the same time, the speeding bullets stopped mid-air without warning, and Zhang Tao’s group of six was simultaneously trapped in a Space Barrier.

Xu Siming, Ji Xing, and Ji Wanwan acted together.

With the situation rapidly deteriorating, Zhang Tao finally realized the strength of his opponents, and a trace of cold sweat slid down his forehead.

But the deed was already done, and knowing Ji Wanwan’s ruthlessness, even if he surrendered now, she would not let him go!

“Damn it, I’ll fight them to the end!”

He glanced sideways at his minions, signaling them to smash the Space Barrier.

When Ji Wanwan had dealt with Cheng Ya, he had witnessed zombies breaking the Space Barrier with a few punches. If they used weapons to smash it, the barrier surely wouldn’t hold for long.

Hearing the sounds of the six people starting to hit the barrier, Ji Wanwan felt utterly bored and didn’t even feel like toying with them anymore.

“Zhang Tao, do you think you could have so smoothly obtained the Authority Card by yourself?” She straightened up, about to stand and end this farce, when Xu Siming beside her reached out to hold her hand.

Ji Wanwan was momentarily taken aback.

He looked at her, his eyes barely concealing pain and hatred: “Leave it to me.”

That look pained Ji Wanwan’s heart, inevitably reminding her of Xu Weiguo, the kind mentor who had been both a teacher and a father figure to her.

Being his son, Xu Siming at this moment wanted to kill Zhang Tao even more than she did.

When she had treated Xu Siming’s wounds that day, she had promised him that he would personally take revenge for his father.

She had never forgotten that promise.

Now that the moment was ripe, it was time for her to fulfill her commitment.

With this in mind, Ji Wanwan nodded: “Okay.” Then she relinquished her control over the Space Barrier.

Soon, the sound of the barrier breaking could be heard.

Zhang Tao and his companions looked delighted.

What superpowers, so insignificant!

Fancy but useless!

The instant the Space Barrier completely shattered, Zhang Tao shouted.

“Fire! Shoot them dead!”

The six men raised their guns, only to find that all the guns had misfired, and Xu Siming who had been seated also stood up at the same time.

The misfire was due to Ji Wanwan having the System intervene before the Space Barrier broke.

Zhang Tao was dumbfounded.

How could this be possible?

As Xu Siming approached him, Zhang Tao’s forehead became increasingly sweaty.

He quickly pulled a Hand Grenade out of his pocket.

Xu Siming suddenly laughed coldly: “With your hands shaking like that, can you even pull out the pin?”
