Chapter 155: Wang Ke's Intentions

Just like that, she burrowed right into his bed.

"Don't worry, I keep my word. Put on your clothes and go back to your room first. We will definitely take you with us when we leave."

Fang Xia never expected that this woman could pull off such a ruthless move.

Damn it, the leader of such a large faction, and yet she could act like a shameless scoundrel?

"Really?"

Although he couldn't see Wang Ke's facial expression, he could tell from her tone that she wasn't very convinced.

"Nonsense. My word is gold, Fang Xia. Do you really need me to sleep with you for you to believe me?"

"Alright then."

With that, Fang Xia started climbing onto the bed.

Damn it, if I don't give you a taste of reality, you'll really take me for a saint like Liu Xiahui.

Since she delivered herself to my doorstep, I might as well enjoy the meal.

Seeing that Fang Xia was actually serious, Wang Ke shrieked again.

Fang Xia felt his head throbbing.

She was the one who stubbornly refused to leave, and now that he was granting her wish, she was screaming again. What on earth was she playing at?

"If you've made enough fuss, it's time to go. Brother Fang has already agreed to take you. If you stay any longer, I can't guarantee what I might do."

Bai Xing's voice suddenly rang out.

Did this woman really think she was just a piece of furniture, charging right in naked and trying to sleep with her man right before her eyes?

Hearing Bai Xing's words, Wang Ke finally snapped back to reality.

Stealing someone else's man right in front of the legal wife—damn, how humiliating.

The next morning.

After being stirred up by Wang Ke like that last night, Fang Xia's blood had been boiling, and in the end, he had fought with Bai Xing for over an hour before finally falling asleep.

Daytime meant continuing the search for relatives.

As for Wang Ke, although she hadn't slept much, she was up bright and early as well.

She needed to plan her next moves.

Leaving with Fang Xia and the others was certain, but she couldn't just sneak away without a word. She still had quite a few sisters under her command and needed to make proper arrangements for them.

As for what kind of future they would have, Wang Ke no longer had the capacity to worry about that.

She could barely protect herself as it was.

If not for the existence of Xie Feng, she would never have left Chengzhou.

Ever since the apocalypse descended, she hadn't stepped a single step outside of Chengzhou. She didn't even dare to imagine the world outside.

Now, she was driven by sheer desperation; if she didn't leave, she would be forced to become Xie Feng's countless wife.

Based on her understanding of Xie Feng, who knew what kind of atrocities he would commit by then.

And yesterday, the performance of those people in her own group had truly filled her with utter disappointment.

Now, with Fang Xia's group around, it gave her a slight sense of security, which was why she decided to leave Chengzhou with them.

Since most of the group members were out, Wang Ke stayed downstairs by herself, seriously organizing the tasks at hand.

Fang Xia and the others would be leaving around three or four in the afternoon today, leaving her with very little time.

First were the resources.

As long as she held resources in her hands, she would have initiative and confidence.

If she chose to keep following Fang Xia, she could use her resources to secure better treatment.

If she wanted to establish her independence in the future, resources would be even more indispensable.

Given the scale of Wang Ke's team and the realistic environment of Chengzhou, purely in terms of pre-apocalyptic resources, she had acquired even more than Fang Xia.

Unfortunately, their team lacked spatial storage equipment, and many items could not be preserved for long, so they had been consumed.

This was what troubled her the most.

With limited spatial equipment, she had to be selective about what to take.

Besides supplies, she also had to arrange a way out for her sisters.

All of this had to be settled today.

...

When Fang Xia woke up, it was already close to noon.

In the living room, only Bai Xing was drinking tea and reading a comic book.

Wang Ke was nowhere to be seen, which made Fang Xia breathe a sigh of relief. It was better this way, saving a lot of awkwardness.

After all, last night the girl had rushed into his room completely naked; although nothing happened in the end, they could still be considered to have had intimate contact.

Seeing Fang Xia approach, Bai Xing quickly pulled out another teacup and poured him a cup of hot tea.

"This kind of life is actually quite nice. If only there wasn't the crisis of the apocalypse, it would be even better."

Fang Xia suddenly sighed with emotion.

But it was just a sigh; what needed to be done still had to be continued.

Bai Xing put down the comic book in her hand, walked behind Fang Xia, and gently massaged his temples.

"We are running a bit short on tier-3 upgrade crystals. Hopefully, we can produce another tier-5 before reaching Shanghai."

Fang Xia had long since decided on the second tier-5 of the team—it would undoubtedly be Bai Xing.

Their team wasn't large, numbering just over two thousand people even counting Guo Yu's side.

Therefore, they had to take the route of elite combat power.

Within the team, besides Fang Xia, only Bai Xing, Liu Liu, and Guo Yu could reach the absolute peak of the same tier.

However, when it came to a one-on-one fight, it would definitely be Bai Xing.

Even Fang Xia had to be extremely careful when facing Bai Xing of the same tier; her ability was simply too terrifying—she was a born assassin.

Around two in the afternoon, Ouyang Qian and the others returned.

Looking at their enduring expressions of disappointment, Fang Xia already understood the answer.

In truth, expecting results in less than two days was indeed pushing them too hard.

Back in Chengzhou, if not for Fang Xia's good luck in running into Bai Xiaochun's uncle, they wouldn't have found anything either.

"If there's a chance in the future, we'll bring you back to look again."

Fang Xia could only offer this comforting remark.

They could only nod helplessly.

As for the other two from Guo Yu's group, one failed to find any relatives, and the other had an even more tragic outcome—he found a neighbor, only to learn the devastating news of his parents' death.

Compared to him, having no news at all was perhaps easier to accept.

"Brother Fang, Wang Ke said to let us wait for her for a moment."

Ouyang Qian suddenly spoke up.

Today, Fang Xia hadn't seen Wang Ke at all.

When they came downstairs, Wang Ke was no longer there.

By the time Ouyang Qian and the others returned, Wang Ke had already gone off to handle matters, only briefly greeting Ouyang Qian.

She was afraid that if Fang Xia didn't see her later, he would just leave her behind and set off directly, which would mean a massive loss for her.

It was still early, and Fang Xia was in no rush. The main troops definitely weren't traveling today anyway, so they would set off early tomorrow morning.

It wasn't until past three o'clock that Wang Ke finally returned, but she brought an extra person with her—the very young lady who had been kicked flying by Bai Xing.

"Can... can I bring one more person? She's also tier-3, and she possesses the resilience ability."

Standing before Fang Xia, Wang Ke's eyes flickered, not daring to meet his gaze directly.

"Yes."

Fang Xia nodded.

"If everything is settled, let's go."

It had been two days, and he had no idea what the situation was with the people outside.

Although Fang Xia trusted them, he worried that unexpected variables might arise.

"Um, if we leave the city now, doesn't that mean we'll have to sleep outside the city tonight? Why can't we just set off tomorrow morning instead?"
