Chapter 156 You Deserve to Die

Wang Ke voiced her doubts.

She remembered that day when Fang Xia and his group had also arrived in Chencheng at night.

Although she did not know where they had come from, she could deduce that they had also set out in the morning, which seemed a bit different from their current situation.

It was already three-thirty, and it would get dark around six o'clock. In just over two hours, they surely wouldn't be able to reach any nearby cities.

"Just follow along, and you'll see when we get there."

Fang Xia did not explain explicitly, leaving the young woman under the impression that this small group really just traveled far and wide on a whim.

Ouyang Qian and the others, however, were somewhat bewildered.

What was going on here? Was there something they didn't know about?

In less than two days, the leader of a six-thousand-strong faction had been poached away just like that by their own commander. This was simply too incredible.

"Let's move."

They had started out as seven people, and now the group had grown to nine.

Just as they stepped out of Wang Ke's territory, Xie Feng was already waiting at the entrance with his men.

Wang Ke had just informed her entire faction about the matter and distributed the supplies that couldn't be carried along, so it was no surprise that Xie Feng had caught wind of it.

"I never expected that in just a single day, Commander Wang would actually disband her team and prepare to leave Chencheng."

"This is truly a great loss for Chencheng."

Looking at the sneering man before her, a flash of hatred crossed Wang Ke's eyes.

If not for him, how would she have ever been driven to this point?

Of course, even without Xie Feng, there might have been a Zhang Feng or a Li Feng. Without absolute strength, an all-female faction was bound to be swallowed up sooner or later.

"Her leaving is far from the only loss Chencheng will face."

Wang Ke remained silent, but Fang Xia took the initiative to reply.

"What do you mean by that?"

Xie Feng instinctively felt a pang of unease.

"I mean, Wang Ke is my woman now. Therefore, you must die."

The moment the word "die" fell, Fang Xia suddenly vanished.

Perhaps the threat of death stimulated Xie Feng's potential; within a fraction of a second, he not only activated his skill but also leaped back several paces.

Yet, it was completely useless.

Fang Xia abruptly appeared right before him, a flash of electric arc leaping across his body, and Xie Feng was struck as if by lightning.

Even with his toughness skill activated, it made no difference at all.

"Time to go."

Amidst everyone's dumbfounded gazes, Fang Xia effortlessly killed Xie Feng with a single blow, then swaggered away with his entourage.

At that moment, ten thousand metaphorical crows cawed across Wang Ke's mind. Was this his true strength? It was simply too terrifying.

As for the men Xie Feng had brought, they looked at one another in blank dismay, not a single person daring to step forward and block their path.

Many of them were already beginning to harbor other intentions.

Chencheng was likely to plunge into chaos for a long time to come.

Even after they had left Chencheng behind, Wang Ke remained in a daze.

[What did he just say? I'm his woman? How embarrassing...]

[He's actually this powerful? He looks even stronger than Bai Star, no wonder he can be the captain of this team.]

[Wait a minute, Xie Feng is already dead, so why am I even running away?]

Wang Ke's mind was filled with chaotic thoughts, while her body followed Fang Xia and the others further and further away from Chencheng.

"Want to go back? You can turn around right now if you like."

Fang Xia casually dispatched a second-tier zombie that lunged at them, then spoke to Wang Ke without looking back.

"N... no."

Fang Xia's sudden question caught Wang Ke off guard, and the instinctive denial made even herself doubt her own heart.

Could it be that her true inner desire was indeed to follow him?

Wang Ke felt a sense of bewilderment.

"Pay attention, don't let your mind wander. There are zombies everywhere here, everyone pick up the pace, it won't be good once night falls."

Distracted by her thoughts, Wang Ke accidentally provoked seven or eight zombies nearby. Fortunately, the others moved with decisive skill and quickly eliminated them without alerting any more of the undead.

A trace of embarrassment flushed across Wang Ke's face, and she dared not let her mind wander anymore. Things had already reached this point; she might as well follow Fang Xia properly and figure out her plans depending on the situation later.

However, how were they going to survive the coming night?

While walking dreamily behind Fang Xia for another half-hour or so, the sound of human voices suddenly drifted from ahead, instantly startling Wang Ke into full alertness.

What was going on? How could there be people out here?

Wang Ke's entire body tensed up as she braced herself for combat.

Fellow humans were often far more terrifying than zombies.

The young woman she had brought along also drew close to Wang Ke, likewise preparing for battle.

"Commander Fang is back, go report the news quickly!"

Over a dozen men holding sabers heard the commotion and reacted with lightning speed, similarly locking into battle readiness.

However, upon seeing that it was Fang Xia's group, they all visibly relaxed, looking with idle curiosity at the two new beauties in the procession.

True to his reputation as the commander, whenever he went out for a couple of days, he always managed to bring back a couple of stunning women.

Especially the one in the middle—such appearance, such figure.

She was easily a match for the commander's other wives.

The men glanced over hastily and quickly averted their gaze.

She might well turn out to be another commander's wife; they certainly didn't dare stare.

After a brief exchange of words, Guo Yu hurried over, shouting from afar.

"Brother Fang!"

Seeing Guo Yu, Fang Xia finally set his mind at ease, the lingering trace of worry in his heart evaporating.

"Let's go."

Fang Xia took the lead and walked toward Guo Yu.

"Hello, Sister Bai Star."

Guo Yu greeted Bai Star while casting a questioning glance at the other two unfamiliar faces.

"This is your Sister Wang Ke."

Driven by some unknown impulse, Bai Star took the initiative to introduce her, though the tone of her voice was somewhat peculiar.

Guo Yu secretly glanced at Fang Xia, muttered a hurried "Hello, Sister Wang Ke," and quickly scampered off to the side.

Brother Fang's domestic affairs were strictly off-limits; these wives of his were each more formidable than the last.

Walking all the way inward, Wang Ke maintained a look of utter astonishment throughout.

After passing the outer perimeter of a thousand men, the inner area was filled entirely with young women, and none of them were plain-looking.

Were all of these women captured by him?

Wang Ke felt a sudden impulse to run away.

When they reached the very center, another seven or eight women came out to greet them. Knotting her brow, Wang Ke grew even more amazed.

Judging by appearance alone, none of these women seemed inferior to herself. Were there really this many exceptional women here?

What right did this man have to possess all this?

As Wang Ke was sizing up Liu Rui and the others, Liu Rui was likewise scrutinizing her.

Perhaps due to a woman's natural intuition, Liu Rui felt at first glance that there was something problematic about this newcomer.

*Hmph*, Bai Star was still too soft-hearted. Next time an opportunity like this arose, she couldn't let Bai Star accompany him out.

"Um, little loli, go arrange things for the newcomers."

Fang Xia already sensed the subtle shift in the atmosphere and quickly spoke up.

"Brother Fang, if you keep calling me that, I'm going to fight you to the death!"

The young woman glared at Fang Xia with puffed-up cheeks.

There he went again; he was the only one in the entire faction who persisted in calling her that.

She secretly hoped Sister Rui wouldn't let him off the hook later, though she knew that was rather unlikely.

"Which one should I arrange for? Both of them?"
