The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 9 (Patreon)

Chapter 9

The sunlight pouring in from the window today was unusually intense, brightening up the room. Ling Chunan opened his eyes, glanced at Zeng Wuyue, who was still asleep, and said, "098, give me an update."

"It's already half-past ten in the morning. According to the plot, the virus infection has started. People will faint for a day and night, and those with weaker constitutions will turn into zombies. Tomorrow morning, the world will be overrun by zombies." 098's voice remained calm. "Due to the host awakening his abilities early, he didn't faint."

Zeng Wuyue had the strongest physique Ling Chunan had ever seen, but for the sake of completeness, Ling Chunan still wanted to confirm, "Will he turn into a zombie?"

"After calculation, there's a 33.3% chance he'll become a zombie," 098 replied.

Ling Chunan sighed. One-third chance for an ordinary person, one-third chance for someone with abilities, and the remaining one-third becomes a zombie. He could do the math. Thinking about this, Ling Chunan sighed again, "Would using Spirit Spring Water help at this point?"

098 was surprised, "Didn't you forbid him from touching the Spirit Spring?" Then added, "It's useless. Spirit Spring Water can only heal wounds; it can't cure the zombie virus. The protagonist's healing ability is the one that cures the zombie virus in the plot."

"Oh," Ling Chunan nodded, sighing once more.

Seeing Ling Chunan's reluctant expression, 098 couldn't help but advise, "Host, please don't forget your identity. Don't get emotional about the plot characters..."

The rest of 098's words got stuck in its throat.

If it had a body, it would undoubtedly be dumbfounded right now.

Ling Chunan, who just moments ago seemed sentimental, was ruthlessly biting into Zeng Wuyue's arm.

098 noticed that the previously restrained host seemed unusually brutal today; at least, he had never chewed on someone's bones before.

Looking at the blurry wound on Zeng Wuyue, 098 couldn't help but feel a chill. It looked painful. Fortunately, it cleverly attached itself to Ling Chunan's soul.

After a moment of reflection, 098 finally snapped out of it and cautiously asked, "Host, what are you doing?"

"I'm not sure if he turns into a zombie if his flesh is still edible." Ling Chunan licked his lips with satisfaction, patted his stomach, feeling somewhat full.

The initial wound on Zeng Wuyue's body had already begun to heal. The flesh and blood recovered rapidly. In no time, firm muscles grew back on his arm. If not for the fresh bloodstains on him and the sheets, no one would suspect that something had just happened here.

After satisfying his appetite, Ling Chunan sat cross-legged, staring at Zeng Wuyue's body without blinking, finally landing on his handsome face with a somewhat heavy expression. "I'm worried about him."

"…I don't believe a word you say," 098 said.

Ling Chunan's expression became somewhat aggrieved, "As partners, especially potential long-term partners, you don't trust me?"

…The host seemed to make sense? 098 was a bit shaken. Then, it saw Ling Chunan abandon his poor bed companion on the bloodstained bed, put on clothes, and get ready to leave without even giving him a blanket!

Indeed, it's better not to trust a single word Ling Chunan says.

Zeng Wuyue's villa had been reinforced a few days ago, and the servants had been dismissed. Ling Chunan went downstairs, casually turned on the TV, flipped through a few channels, all showing pre-set programs.

Lying bored on the sofa, flipping channels, Ling Chunan asked, "098, what should I do?"

"Supplies," 098 reminded, "Your space still has plenty of room."

"The sun is too bright; I'll go out later in the evening," Ling Chunan conjured a small piece of ice, biting it with a crunch. He explained, "It's getting hot, and I don't like it."

An ice-based ability user afraid of the heat? 098 felt nothing but the desire to smack Ling Chunan.

After lounging for a while, Ling Chunan decided to go back to continue sleeping.

He slept until midnight, and Ling Chunan finally woke up, saying, "I feel a bit cold."

"Host, please don't joke. You now have an A-level physique and are an ice-based ability user. It's impossible for you to feel cold."

"Just a joke, why so serious?"

Due to sleeping early in the morning, the city hadn't reached its busiest time yet. Even though he suddenly fell asleep, there was no traffic congestion on the roads. However, there were quite a few accident scenes.

Most cars were crookedly crashed into green belts or houses along the streets. Ling Chunan sped on the road, "Next target, downtown department store."

For the host who had fallen into a collection frenzy, 098 couldn't bear to tell him that these things couldn't be taken away. Yet, it still said, "Host, your space already has enough supplies for thousands of people for decades. And please note, this space is limited to this world; you can't take it with you." After saying this, 098 couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Even though it knew it was wrong, making the host suffer a little felt good.

Unfortunately, Ling Chunan's reaction was not the shock and immediate retreat that 098 imagined. He continued gripping the steering wheel steadily.

The headlights of the only car illuminated the empty and desolate road, creating a somewhat eerie atmosphere. However, Ling Chunan still looked interested, "Did you forget the plot? The male lead is in the city center now, and he won't wake up for another five hours."

"So, are you going to beat him up?" 098 was somewhat afraid.

"That's secondary." Ling Chunan didn't deny it, then executed a beautiful drift, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "The main thing is something else."

Soon, 098 understood what Ling Chunan meant by the main thing.

He actually fed Spirit Spring Water to the female lead next to the male lead!

"I really like her healing ability. I remember that in the plot, they never developed an antivirus vaccine until the end. Maybe her ability could be useful for researching the zombie virus, don't you think, 098?" After giving the water, Ling Chunan stood up, satisfied, and clapped his hands.

"You want to send the female lead to the research institute?" 098 quickly caught up with Ling Chunan's thoughts.

"How can you imagine me so badly?" Ling Chunan asked in return.

Not knowing how to argue, 098 saw Ling Chunan take out two burlap sacks.

Because Ling Chunan did not appear at Lin Qian's birthday banquet and was not killed in a sudden car accident, Tong Xiaoxiao's plan to obtain Ling Chunan's Spirit Spring space fell through. Seeing the impending apocalypse, she had no choice but to follow the same path as the previous life.

In any case, she held onto Qin Haoyuan's thigh tightly.

Today was the second day of their relationship, also the day the apocalypse began. Similar to the previous life, Qin Haoyuan still invited her to the mall to buy a gift for his grandfather, who was about to celebrate his birthday.

Originally, Tong Xiaoxiao didn't want to go out, but thinking about Qin Haoyuan's angry expression, she reluctantly agreed.

As expected, while browsing the gold counter on the first floor of the mall, everything turned black.

When Tong Xiaoxiao woke up, she felt pain all over her body, and it was pitch-dark around her. Trying to move, it felt like sleep paralysis; she couldn't budge.

After struggling for a long time, she finally realized that she wasn't experiencing sleep paralysis. Someone was lying on top of her, and the darkness in front of her wasn't because she had gone blind but because... something was covering her face.

Struggling to flip the person off her, Tong Xiaoxiao discovered a rough burlap sack on her head.

She reached out to touch her lips, and the pain on her face made her inhale sharply. Incredibly, she realized she had been beaten with a burlap sack! And the "ghost" that was just on top of her was actually Qin Haoyuan, with a burlap sack fashioned exactly like hers on his head.

Tong Xiaoxiao moved the burlap sack off Qin Haoyuan's head and fell silent.

An extremely handsome guy had turned into a pig's head. She couldn't help but find it amusing. Then, she tugged at the wounds on her own face. Her expression darkened again; it seemed she wasn't in good shape either.

While Tong Xiaoxiao observed Qin Haoyuan, his eyeballs moved, and he slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, many people around them, in an unusually stiff manner, slowly crawled up from the ground. Those eyeless, cloudy whites stared directly at the still-breathing humans.

After putting burlap sacks on the male and female leads, Ling Chunan walked briskly, unceremoniously collecting all the meat from the mall's freezer and casually taking a warehouse full of packaged food. Satisfied, he returned to Zeng Wuyue's villa, eagerly sitting next to Zeng Wuyue, patiently waiting for his food to wake up.

Of course, if you ignore the two thumb-thick iron chains he held in his hands, currently sketching the man's collarbone. "If he turns into a zombie, I'll use this chain to tie him to me and keep him as a pet," Ling Chunan said.

"...As long as you're happy." 

Ling Chunan waited for a while, then felt a bit tired and fell asleep.

After an unknown period, half-awake, he sensed someone licking him. Subconsciously, he hugged the person's neck and responded enthusiastically.

"Host, didn't you want to lock him up?" 098 remarked sarcastically.

"Zombies have no warmth. He's warm, so I want to sleep with him now." Ling Chunan replied to 098 while gasping for breath.

"Darling, you're not focused." Zeng Wuyue intensified his actions.

"Uhh..." Ling Chunan couldn't help but make a sound due to the tingling sensation from the coccyx. "098! What's his ability?"

"According to the analysis, it's a lightning-based..." 098 started to explain, but Ling Chunan didn't hear the rest. Right now, he only had one thought: using this ability in such a way is really... satisfying! Zeng Wuyue, with his extraordinary talent, truly deserved to be the chosen food. Thinking about it, he opened his mouth and bit into the man's shoulder again.

Ling Chunan blissfully squinted his eyes. Delicious.
