The Villain’s Face Slapping Counterattack

Chapter 20


Chapter 20

Face-Slapping the Original Leaders of the Military Base (Apocalypse)

When Zhou Xu went back home, he brought with him a lot of food, and even had a pound of meat. Xixi happily jumped to her feet. Zhou Xu rubbed her head and began to cook in the kitchen.

Xixi wandered around him and the corners of Zhou Xu’s mouth rose. Suddenly, he realized that it wasn’t that bad to have the “always smiling” trait.

Zhou Xu actually didn’t like to cook. Even when playing the villain, he only had a few worlds that required him to cook, but that didn’t prove that he won’t. He just hated the smell of oil and smoke.

Now if he was alone, he probably wouldn’t cook, but it was different now because he had a little girl following him.

Zhou Xu shredded the meat, put some salt on it to marinate it, and then washed the vegetables he bought. It was all simple. Then he put some garlic in a pot and stir-fried the marinated meat. He added the vegetables into the pot, sprinkled some salt, and it was done.

As for the soup, it was even more simple. Zhou Xu tore the seaweed and dropped it into the boiling water. Then he added an egg and put some salt.

Of course, if he had more ingredients, Zhou Xu would have marinated the shredded pork with soy sauce and seafood sauce, and then add some fresh pickles, like scallions, mustard pickles and shrimp skin to the soup. But it was the apocalypse right now, so it was good just to eat enough to be full. Any more than that would be too demanding.

Xixi happily kissed Zhou Xu. Zhou Xu smiled slightly, rubbed her head, and said, “Eat fast and don’t get cold.”

“Okay.”

They had a good time eating. Zhou Xu asked Xixi what she had done at home, and then let her sleep.

In the dark night, Zhou Xu could feel that the blood flow of his body was abnormally fast, and he even felt the swelling of the blood vessels. This was the result of him secretly eating a crystal nucleus.

There had been a total of three third-level zombies. There was one crystal nucleus that Zhou Xu did not find, but as for the other two, one was taken by Zhou Xu for himself and he handed over the last one to the base. As for Xia Qingfeng, that fellow didn’t need to eat a crystal nucleus. It was estimated that his (XQ) powers grew faster than anybody else.

Zhou Xu was very much aware that Ding Zhaoyu already knew the purpose of crystal nucleus. He (DZ) should be accumulating nuclei right now, so he probably also was desperately trying to increase his powers. If Zhou Xu wants to be invincible, he must not be weaker than anyone else.

Zhou Xu was a water power, so the crystal nucleus he needed was blue.

In fact, all nuclei can be eaten, but if those with abilities eat the corresponding nuclei, then their powers would increase more rapidly than if they were to eat randomly. Eating other nuclei didn’t seem to have any negative effect, but it was not very effective for the growth of abilities.

Nuclei were also of various colors, pink, white, blue and so on. One color of the nuclei was clear. This kind of nucleus can correspond to all powers, and the effect was exceptionally good, but it’s very rare.

Of course, a person with an ability can’t just eat a crystal nucleus at will. For example, if a second-level power eats the crystal nucleus of a fourth-level or fifth-level zombie, he may explode because he can’t absorb it.

Zhou Xu’s current level of power was second-level. But he had just eaten a third-level nucleus, which was actually a little dangerous.

Zhou Xu breathed deeply and activated his healing abilities at the same time. He then guided his healing power along the meridians, moving slowly throughout the body, while gradually absorbing the nucleus.

This process was very slow. By the time Zhou Xu completely absorbed the crystal nucleus, the sky was already bright.

A red sun rose, dispelling the boundless loneliness, and the world was once again illuminated by it. Even the clouds on the horizon were dyed red because of the rising sun.

The world was quiet and beautiful, if you ignored the fact that it was the apocalypse.

With a long sigh of relief, Zhou Xu gently got up without making any noise. Instead of feeling tired, he was refreshed. Maybe it was because the crystal nucleus had been completely absorbed by him, Zhou Xu thought.

After taking a shower, Zhou Xu woke Xixi up. Today he would take Xixi to see the school in the base. After all, it wasn’t good to keep Xixi at home every day, and Zhou Xu still had to save his father. Those potatoes that could feed the whole base weren’t a joke.

Ding Zhaoyu heard that Zhou Xu was promoted to the captain of the team the next day, and he wasn’t allowed to object. The base had already given the order, but Ding Zhaoyu certainly wouldn’t object, because he lived in this base now. If he did not listen to the command, there would be nothing to eat.

Tang Wanxin was a bit unhappy for him. After being calmed down by Ding Zhaoyu, she was quiet.

Zhou Xu and Xixi were in a good mood while they were taking a walk around the base in the morning. They walked hand in hand to the school.

On the way there, Zhou Xu passed through a high-end neighborhood. For the most part, the people that lived there were leaders and followers that were there when the base was first established.

Zhou Xu was merely looking around casually, but as a result, he came face to face with Wang Ying.

Wang Ying was a little embarrassed and said, “Zhou Xu, you’re still alive?”

“Yes, sorry, I’m not dead.”

In a flash, it became clear to Wang Ying that Zhou Xu was angry because of her betrayal. But Wang Ying thought for a moment and said, “Where are you going?”

“It’s none of your business,” Zhou Xu said, taking Xixi’s hand. “Xixi, let’s go.”

As she watched Zhou Xu’s back grow smaller, Wang Ying felt a little uncomfortable, as if something that belonged to her had suddenly been stolen.

“What are you looking at?” A woman with heavy makeup came out from behind Wang Ying.

“Nothing. It was just a friend.”

“Ah? Isn’t that Zhou Xu?”

“You know him?”

“Well, you don’t know this but, I was at that house just now. A couple of researchers came in, so I took a peek. It turns out that Zhou Xu led two power teams and killed several third-level zombies, and has been promoted to leader of his team.

“Does he have a power?”

“Of course. His power seems to be very strong. Why do you ask?”

“Nothing. He’s my boyfriend.”

“Ah?”

Wang Ying proudly smiled. Zhou Xu used to be infatuated with her, but she could now use him to her advantage. It’ll just take some time. Captains of power teams received food and drink, and were also be given a single room. Their treatment was very good. But that little girl was an eyesore.

Forget it, first she had to get Zhou Xu, then drive the little girl away.

Wang Ying had the idea of playing with Zhou Xu, and Zhou Xu was planning on beating Wang Ying. Because she betrayed him, Zhou Xu can’t stand it anymore. If they had not met, that would have been it. But now that they’d met, Zhou Xu wouldn’t be soft-handed.

For such a woman, just killing her was a bit boring. Was there any other interesting way to kill her? Oh that’s right, if her face was destroyed, it’d be much more interesting.

Although the base had just been established, it still attached great importance to educating children. Because of that, Xixi’s admission procedures were quickly completed and she went straight to first grade. Also, because Zhou Xu had a power, a school bus could come and pick her up and drop her off. He also had the option of having Xixi live at school.

After completing the formalities, Zhou Xu asked Xixi to stay at school for a few days and take a look around.

In fact, the apocalypse was caused by changes in the sunspots. People could only flee and run for a while, and they couldn’t find an answer. But now, several bases had been established everywhere, and corresponding research institutes had begun to study zombies and abilities.

Zhou Xu didn’t need to do anything but give the researchers some ideas. The people in China did not lack wisdom, but sometimes fixed thinking hinders the direction of thinking.

At the institute, Zhou Xu unexpectedly encountered Xia Qingfeng.

He waved and Zhou Xu smiled. “Hello.”

“En.”

“Why are you at the institute?”

“It’s none of your business.”

“Okay, good-bye then.”

Zhou Xu simply obeyed Xia Qingfeng. He had facial paralysis, as if someone owed him more than 100,000 yuan.

After half a month passed, Zhou Xu became a bit more popular at the base. After all, he was capable of perfectly accomplishing every mission, and no one in his team ever got injured. This made his reputation increase in a short period of time. Ding Zhaoyu hadn’t caused any mischief during the past two weeks, but Zhou Xu knew that his powers should have been upgraded. Tang Wanxin’s powers have also been grown a lot.

Zhou Xu didn’t take them seriously at all, because his own abilities grew much faster than theirs.

Half a month later, Zhou Xu decided to rest for a few days and let Xixi come back to live with him for a day. After all, he had brought Xixi to the base with him, and so he was responsible for her. Now that he had been at the base for some time, his father should have arrived at the place where the potatoes had been found in his last life. In this life, he would absolutely never let Ding Zhaoyu go see his father and won’t let his father die.

On the way to school, Zhou Xu passed the fancy neighborhood again.

“Zhou Xu?”

Zhou Xu’s smiling face disappeared in an instant when he saw Wang Ying. “What do you want?”

Wang Ying threw herself onto Zhou Xu. “Zhou Xu, save me, help me.”

Zhou Xu reached out and pushed Wang Ying off his body, dusting off the shoulder she touched. “Goodbye.”

With tearful eyes, Wang Ying sobbed and asked, “Zhou Xu, do you really dislike me? I know I was wrong last time, but in that case, I had no choice. I’m a girl, and I know it’s wrong. Now someone wants to take me to be their a prostitute. Do you really not care at all?”


Notes:

No, he doesn’t care at all haha.
