Chapter 42: Like a Dream, Unyielding in Death
After a moment, Chen Ye lifted the evolved zombie with one hand just like picking up a little chick.
The evolved zombie looked very miserable, covered in wounds, with its arms and legs dangling, soft like noodles, indicating that its limbs had been broken by Chen Ye, completely losing its ability to move.
Plop!
Chen Ye threw the evolved zombie on the ground in front of Tang Zichen, dusted off his hands, and smiled, “Done, sorry to keep you waiting.”
Tang Zichen: “…”
A deadly crisis for the newcomers was effortlessly resolved by Chen Ye.
From the moment he took action until he defeated all the zombies, it took about ten minutes in total. It felt like a dream…
Chen Ye truly lived up to his reputation; his mere presence could scare people to death!
Tang Zichen looked deeply at Chen Ye, completely unsure of what to say.
Originally, she formed a team with Chen Ye to repay President Chen’s kindness and to help Chen Ye achieve a good result in the secret realm.
Unexpectedly, she almost got Chen Ye into trouble.
Even more unexpectedly, Chen Ye didn’t need her guidance at all. In reality, it was Chen Ye who led the way. So, was she the clown after all?
“Huh?”
Chen Ye suddenly looked surprised at the Japanese youth on the ground, “You’re not dead yet?”
Indeed, the Japanese youth was still alive, lying on the ground, pressing tightly against the major artery in his neck, preventing blood loss, and still hanging on by a thread.
Chen Ye couldn’t help but admire the guy’s strong vitality!
His will to survive was strong but it’s almost over.
Under the Japanese youth’s neck, the blood had already dyed the ground red, his face as pale as paper, his life already in its final countdown.
After all, it was the major artery that was injured, even if the injury wasn’t severe, it couldn’t be stopped by hand.
At this moment, the Japanese youth’s gaze was fixed on Chen Ye, his eyes filled with shock and resentment towards Chen Ye.
Chen Ye understood the Japanese youth’s gaze and said with a smile, “Do you want to curse me? Having such strength, but not using it earlier, waiting until everyone is dead before coming out? In fact… I did it on purpose!”
Damn it! Damn it all!
The Japanese youth’s eyes widened like he was seeing a ghost, staring fiercely at Chen Ye with intense resentment, as if he wanted to eat Chen Ye alive.
Suddenly, the Japanese youth realised that even without the trouble caused by Lee Jae-rong, with a monster like Chen Ye around, their plan to assassinate Tang Zichen was destined to fail.
Ironically, they thought Tang Zichen wouldn’t escape this time, and that Xia Country would lose a genius, never to recover.
Little did they know, the real genius was not Tang Zichen at all!
Xia Country was blessed with great fortune. Talents abounded.
Their nation’s ambition to annex Xia Country was probably impossible in this lifetime…
With this in mind, the Japanese youth suddenly lost his spirit.
The Japanese youth couldn’t catch his breath, his pupils quickly losing focus, and the hand pressing against his neck also drooping weakly. He’s dead…
The blood in his body was already about to dry up, stimulated by Chen Ye’s words, his anger overpowered him, and finally, he breathed his last.
But his eyes were still open. This is dying unyieldingly!
…
From now on, the only ones left alive on the scene were Chen Ye and Tang Zichen.
The evolved zombie didn’t count as a person. The two’s gaze also met.
Silence, a wordless silence. Tang Zichen didn’t know what to say.
Everything that happened tonight had greatly shocked her, and even now, her emotions couldn’t calm down.
Chen Ye felt that he should say something.
After thinking about it, he spoke, “Actually, since I was a child, I felt that my body was different from normal people’s. As long as I exercise every day, my strength keeps increasing…
Based on this phenomenon, I also searched through a lot of information and finally came to a somewhat reasonable conclusion: I was born with divine power!”
Tang Zichen finally spoke, “So, during the Hero Compatibility Conference, you chose to match with a C-level hero because you felt that the talent of an S-level hero wouldn’t be of much use to you? The success rate of matching with a C-level hero is close to one hundred percent, and you only needed a ticket to enter the secret realm?”
Only those who successfully matched with a hero could enter the secret realm.
Upon hearing Tang Zichen’s words, Chen Ye was stunned. He realised what the most lethal form of speculation was.
“Class Leader, you’re really smart!”
Chen Ye bluffed without changing his expression. Tang Zichen’s speculation saved him the trouble of coming up with more lies.
For Chen Ye, the secret of Saitama among C-class heroes was something he didn’t want anyone to know.
In this world, with him as the Caped Baldy, that was enough!
“…Do you think my performance just now was like that of a clown?”
Tang Zichen suddenly said with self-deprecation.
Huh? What does that mean?
Chen Ye was stunned. He really didn’t understand women’s way of thinking.
“Class Leader, this is my biggest secret, even my parents don’t know, and I didn’t mean to deceive you,” Chen Ye said calmly.
If this girl became even more melodramatic, he would go over and spank her.
He had only been able to look at it while lying in bed every day, and he had long wanted to try the feeling with his hands.
“If you lied to me more than once—”
Tang Zichen looked deeply at Chen Ye.
This guy always liked to tease her, and he made so many dirty jokes with her. He’s a real scoundrel!
Then she continued, “Regardless, Chen Ye, if it weren’t for you tonight, I would have been dead. You saved me, and I owe you a life! I have nothing to repay such a great kindness, only…”
Chen Ye immediately looked expectant, listening attentively.
According to the usual procedure, the next words should be “I offer myself”?
He waited for a long time, but there was no continuation. He looked at Tang Zichen in confusion.
He saw a cunning smile on Tang Zichen’s pretty face.
This girl—she’s learned to be mischievous too!
Can’t help but admit, Tang Zichen’s little face is really beautiful! Exquisite like a work of art, even her mischievous smile has its own unique charm.
“Chen Ye, when you encounter trouble in the future, just come to me for help. No matter what the situation is, I will save you once!”
Tang Zichen said this very seriously.
From this, it could be seen that this girl still had a bit of competitiveness in her.
She probably thought that when she grew up to Mrs. Qin’s level, she could surpass or even help Chen Ye.
Regarding Tang Zichen’s thoughts, Chen Ye just smiled.
“Okay, then when I encounter troubles that I can’t solve in the future, I’ll come to you for help,” Chen Ye said.
Tang Zichen nodded and added, “About your secret, I will keep it confidential for you.”
Chen Ye believed this statement, this girl’s thought process wasn’t quite like that of a normal girl, and she valued promises more than men.
From her agreeing to join President Chen and deciding to team up with Chen Ye, her character could be seen.
However, just keeping it confidential wasn’t enough.
The two needed to have a plausible excuse to make others believe.
“Class LEader, after we leave the secret realm, if anyone asks, I’ll push everything onto you. In their eyes, you are the pride of heaven, and I’m just a second-rate student with a useless hero talent. Only by pushing everything onto you will they believe it.”
