Chapter 24: Face-Slapping the Original Leaders of the Military Base (Apocalypse)

“If you have the strength, then feel free to do it.” Zhou Xu replied with a slight smile, because he knew that Xia Qingfeng did not the energy to do that at all.

Xia Qingfeng suddenly got up and pressed Zhou Xu under his body, a prominent part pushing against Zhou Xu.

“Oh, it’s truly powerful ah.”

Of course they didn’t do it. After all, they were currently in the middle of a mission. And if something else happened, they might lose their lives here.

Zhou Xu looked up at the gloomy sky and took a few deep breaths before he slowly stood up. Although he was still a little weak, walking was not a problem, and he could continue to use his healing power to repair his body.

“Come on, let’s go to the military weapons warehouse and see what’s going on. If something goes wrong, it won’t be easy for us to account for it.” Zhou Xu said.

Xia Qingfeng nodded and followed Zhou Xu to the military weapons warehouse.

It was already afternoon, but because of the dark clouds, people couldn’t accurately estimate the time. Ding Zhaoyu led the members to examine the warehouse carefully and they found that it was already empty. but just as they were about to leave, Zhou Xu and Xia Qingfeng entered.

The two sides looked at each other. Zhou Xu, in a mild manner, said softly, “Wait a minute.”

All of the team members began speaking with seven mouths and eight tongues, asking Zhou Xu and Xia Qingfeng about their physical condition. They all got the same answer, which was “Ok”.

Zhou Xu also carefully examined the situation of the military weapons warehouse. Then Zhou Xu and Xia Qingfeng looked at each other. They understood the resolve in each other’s eyes. This resolve, one was due to wisdom, and the other because of vigilance.

They both spoke at the same time: “Under the floor.”

“How is that possible?” Ding Zhaoyu said.

“Whether it’s possible or not isn’t for you to decide. However, the facts will tell you the answer.”

Zhou Xu was too lazy to explain further. He walked over to a tile, bent his fingers, knocked, and heard an “empty sound Zhou Xu turned to the team members and said, “Look for something to pry this open.”

“Don’t look. I’ll do it.”

Xia Qingfeng stood up, his hands crossed in the air, and a strong flash appeared from his crossed hands. The flash became more and more intense in the air, and was even a bit blinding. The electric light slowly dropped. There was even a “crackling” sound in the air. It goes without saying that everyone knew the power of lightning.

Ding Zhaoyu wanted to stop it because he was afraid that if there were real weapons in the ground, Xia Qingfeng’s lightning might cause an explosion if it was too strong. As a result, he took a step forward but was stopped by Xia Qingfeng’s teammates. “Ding Zhaoyu, you don’t know our leader. His lightning power is not only powerful, but he can also freely control it.”

As he said that, everyone watched Xia Qingfeng controlling the lightning, slowly, slowly, drawing the shape of a hole on the ground.

When the shape was completely traced, everyone heard a “kala” sound before the cut piece fell down. They looked at the cut and found that it was not too big but not too small, just right. Xia Qingeng had merely cut a hole and didn’t do anything unnecessary.

Wood powers made ladders so that everyone could go down the hole. Zhou Xu and Xia Qingfeng went last. Zhou Xu deliberately said in Xia Qingfeng’s ear, “Your technique isn’t bad.”

Xia Qingfeng was stimulated by Zhou Xu’s hot breath on his ears. He grabbed Zhou Xu’s hand and looked at him deeply.

Zhou Xu tilted his head slightly. “Why, want to come now? My strength has recovered pretty well. But it’s too bad that right now is pretty inconvenient.”

Xia Qingfeng couldn’t help but put Zhou Xu’s hand down and follow him to the real underground military weapons warehouse.

After entering, Zhou Xu and Xia Qingfeng were shocked by the huge inventory. There were plenty of guns and ammunition. There were even many new types of weapons. There were more than 200 light rocket launchers alone. And there were small projectile launchers and so on.

Zhou Xu knew that this time, they had hit a jackpot.

Zhou Xu and Xia Qingfeng returned to the base with twenty people and their weapons in hand. Yinyun had been captured by the zombies and a few team members had died. The base would normally not give any awards in this case. But their group was different. They managed to bring back a considerable amount of weapons. Therefore, the top management of the base was going insane with joy. Nobody even cared whether Yin Yun was alive or not. And of course, no one cared about what happened to Wang Ying.

After that, the team was divided again. Zhou Xu was promoted to the management level, Xia Qingfeng was promoted to the Department of Power, and even Ding Zhaoyu was promoted to become the leader of a power team, although his reputation was already pretty smelly.

At the same time, Zhou Xu got a house. It was neither too big or too small, 70 square meters, enough for Zhou Xu to live in.

On the day he got the keys, Zhou Xu was very happy. He took Xixi back and cooked a table full of food for her. As they were eating, they heard a “tok tok tok at the door. At this time, Zhou Xu’s father, due to health reasons, had been living in a health center. Everything was available there and the conditions were good, especially because his father was accompanied by someone. His mood and body were very good, so Zhou Xu felt reassured about him, so he didn’t have him live somewhere else. Zhou Xu went to see him once in a while.

When Zhou Xu opened the door, he came face to face with Xia Qingfeng.

With a warm smile, Zhou Xu asked, “Looking for me?”

Xia Qingfeng, after staring blankly, said, “En. Have you keep your promise.”

“Oh, unfortunately today is not convenient,” Zhou Xu moved sideways, letting Xia Qingfeng see Xixi inside the house, “maybe next time.”

Zhou Xu was about the close the door but Xia Qingfeng silently blocked it, placing his foot at the crack of the door “Actually, I didn’t know you lived here. I just moved in. I live next door to you.”

“Oh?” Zhou Xu looked at Xia Qingfeng with amusement. He looked at his figure from top to bottom. His smiling eyes grew increasingly alluring.

“In fact, I wanted to come and ask if there is any electricity on your side. I have no electricity on my side,” Xia Qingfeng finally admitted.

“There is.”

“My parents will move in tomorrow too.” Xia Qingfeng said.

“And then?”

“…”

Xia Qingfeng’s bronze skin looked very soft at the moment. He wasn’t as cold as usual. Zhou Xu even felt that he was a little embarrassed. It’s really rare for this man, who was called the God of War, to be embarrassed.

Zhou Xu stepped forward, Xia Qingfeng stepped back, Zhou Xu stepped forward again, and Xia Qingfeng continued to step back until he moved back to his door. Zhou Xu, who was shorter by ten centimeters, fixed Xia Qingfeng between his arm and the wall. He put one leg between Xia Qingfeng’s legs. Zhou Xu deliberately made his voice very gentle, as if biting Xia Qingfeng’s ear, and said, “Tomorrow, Xixi will go back to school. You can come over then.”

Some part on Xia Qingfeng refused to listen and hardened at the speed of lightning, and Zhou Xu naturally felt it. He laughed, grabbed Xia Qingfeng, and gave him a good pinch. Zhou Xu smiled and said, “Goodbye.”

In fact, Zhou Xu’s pinch was very painful, but even if it hurt, Xia Qingfeng wanted to look at Zhou Xu, because Zhou Xu lived free and easy, and his laughter was so charming.

Xia Qingfeng looked at the door that Zhou Xu closed and suddenly laughed. Snow-white teeth in the slightly dark corridor appeared very bright.

The next day, Zhou Xu sent Xixi to school and went to the balcony of his home.

His balcony and Xia Qingfeng’s balcony were actually connected. Even though there was a wall separating the two balconies, the wall was very short, so Zhou Xu could get over with a jump.

But the people who used to live in this house were probably not used to it, so there was a curtain hanging on the place where the balconies were connected, so that the two sides could not see the people next door.

Zhou Xu was lazily sitting on the balcony. He was thinking about Yin Yun, and at the same thinking a lot of things about the base.

“You say Xia Qingfeng won’t drive us away?” This was the voice of a middle-aged woman. Zhou Xu guessed that it should be Xia Qingfeng’s mother, but would anyone call their son’s full name?

“No, he doesn’t dare.” This was a male voice. It should be Xia Qingfeng’s father.

“I’m getting scared. Every time he looks at me, he looks at me as if I’m a dead body. If he knew that his biological parents were killed by us, would he possibly…”

“Don’t talk nonsense. We are his parents. We raised him.”

“But,” the woman’s voice grew more timid, “when he was a child, you beat him every day. I always feel that he remembers his hatred.”

“What about beating him? As long as he calls me Dad, that won’t happen. The kid looks scary, but he’s really stupid. Don’t think too much about it. Look ba, we’re now living in the best house on the base.”

“Oh… Well, I’m afraid. When he came back the day before yesterday, I was even more afraid to look at his eyes. I keep thinking we can’t hide it for long.”

“What are you afraid of? Before, when we killed his parents, you didn’t think twice. And now look at you.”

“It wasn’t the same back then. Wasn’t it just that I wanted to take over my sister’s house? Especially since I’ve always hated her. We clearly looked exactly the same, but she had such a happy life. She had a house, a car, and even a child. I had nothing. I didn’t even have the ability to bear children so of course I could do it.”

“Ok, stop talking about it, and don’t mention it in the future. If other people hear, then we’re dead.”

“Excuse me, I’m the “other people” you’re talking about.” Zhou Xu opened the curtain, smiled and said to Xia Qingfeng’s parents, “Hi.”

Notes:

We’re nearing the end of this arc! But I want to let you all know that Chapter 25 will be split into parts. I’m shooting for two, but if I get really busy, it might even be split into three. It’s double the length of a regular chapter, and is currently weighing in at 12 pages of raws in Google Docs

As always, let me know if you see any typos or mistakes, or even any translation mishaps.
