The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 11 (Patreon)

Chapter 11

"This zombie has wood-type abilities. Host, please be careful." 098 continued.

Zeng Wuyue reacted quickly. As the sound of breaking air echoed, he pulled Ling Chunan into his arms and swiftly dodged to the side. At the same time, an electric current surged towards the dark figure.

However, the movements of the level three zombie were incredibly fast. It effortlessly avoided Zeng Wuyue's attack and seemed to have no intention of attacking the two. Instead, it charged towards the subordinates who had just walked a short distance ahead.

The subordinates, who had reluctantly followed, suddenly found countless vines rising from the ground, firmly binding their feet. Some of those who were trailing behind couldn't even scream before their brains were exposed.

A level-one ability user's energy core is about the size of a pea, but this zombie seemed indifferent to it.

Witnessing the tragic death of their companions, even though most of them were young men, the subordinates couldn't help but feel weak in the legs. However, after days of coordination, they spontaneously formed a defensive line, barely blocking the next round of attacks from the level three zombie. Surprisingly, the zombie was bulletproof; bullets couldn't penetrate its defense.

In the next moment, the vines under their feet rapidly grew, even binding their hands. The level three zombie, a female with black hair and red eyes, showed no signs of decay. Her face was pale with a hint of blue, giving her a somewhat delicate appearance. However, her mouth still had traces of the brain matter from the previous ability users, making her look horrifying.

After a failed attack, she swiftly charged towards the group.

It seemed hopeless.

Despair spread among the crowd.

At this critical moment, the people in the front row, who had a look of despair, suddenly felt a chill. Blinking, they saw a thick ice wall appearing in front of them. The zombie's claws clashed against the ice wall, creating a piercing scraping sound that made everyone's eardrums ache.

Simultaneously, a bolt of lightning struck the female zombie, causing a momentary pause in her movements. Then, numerous ice blades attacked her from all directions!

Unable to dodge, the zombie was hit head-on. Its clothing tore, revealing several wounds. It let out a howl, and its two bloodshot red eyes stared at Ling Chunan. Meanwhile, thorny vines extended from the ground towards Ling Chunan and Zeng Wuyue.

Ling Chunan and Zeng Wuyue exchanged glances. Swiftly evading the attacking vines, they flanked the zombie. Another precise lightning strike entered its body, and in the moment of hesitation, Ling Chunan made his move.

No longer ordinary ice blades, he circled behind the female zombie with eerie speed, holding an ice knife that appeared in his hand without warning. With a muffled sound, the knife penetrated the back of the zombie's head.

The zombie completely froze, emitting a faint cry from its throat, and then fell silent.

Ling Chunan let go, allowing it to collapse. With a thud, the seemingly intact zombie shattered into fine ice particles.

098: "...Host, how did you do that? Isn't ice-type ability only for external use?"

"Perhaps I have innate talent?" Ling Chunan clapped his hands, looking carefree.

"..."

"Well, didn't you see that I absorbed the ability into its body with my first move? After fermenting for a few dozen seconds, it had frozen its organs. Then, Mr. Qin shattered it. However, as it's a zombie, damaging its organs couldn't harm its life. So, I personally sent the ability back inside."

098 asked again, "Its external appearance didn't seem damaged; why did it shatter?"

"I am an A-level physique." Breaking a large stone with bare hands is not a problem, let alone a frozen ice block. Ling Chunan sighed slightly, "098, you are indeed an old system."

Implying a decline in intelligence.

Hearing Ling Chunan's tone, 098 fell silent.

With the battle over, Zeng Wuyue walked a few steps to Ling Chunan's side. "Darling, are you okay?"

Ling Chunan smiled at him, "I'm fine."

Still worried, Zeng Wuyue checked Ling Chunan all over. He reached out and embraced him, exchanging a passionate kiss. Then, in a low voice, he said, "Darling, you're amazing!"

Hearing the deep and magnetic voice in his ear, Ling Chunan's legs felt weak. If there weren't so many people around, he really wanted to have a moment with Zeng Wuyue right then and there.

The subordinates, who had been forgotten by their boss for a long time, finally snapped back to reality. Seeing the way Ling Chunan climbed onto Zeng Wuyue, their gaze towards the young man lying on Zeng Wuyue had changed.

Even facing a high-level zombie that had left them helpless, it was effortlessly dealt with? Even though they knew little about abilities in this post-apocalyptic era, judging by the appearance of the zombie, they realized it wasn't an ordinary one. It should have intelligence, and yet, the battle just now was almost a one-sided, overwhelming victory.

Looking at the shattered zombie on the ground, everyone couldn't help but show respect. Remembering their attitude towards Ling Chunan earlier, they felt a chill creeping up their spines.

What if Sister-in-law holds a grudge against them?

In the following journey, Ling Chunan's treatment took a 180-degree turn. Almost all subordinates greeted him respectfully, addressing him as "Young Master Ling." Especially after one of them accidentally saw the scene where Ling Chunan bit Zeng Wuyue, everyone in the team looked at Ling Chunan with eyes like bodyguards.

They were both afraid and respectful.

Afraid because Ling Chunan was so brutal that he dared to bite even Fifth Master's flesh. Respectful because of Ling Chunan's formidable strength. Besides the ice ability, everyone witnessed Ling Chunan effortlessly kicking away a huge boulder blocking the road, something even two level-one strength ability users couldn't manage. Thinking about being kicked by that foot... nobody dared to underestimate Ling Chunan.

After nearly a month of traveling, starting with twenty vehicles and nearly eighty people, the team now had around fifty remaining. Everyone's faces showed signs of exhaustion.

Yuan Wu lightly tapped on the car window. After a minute, the window slowly rolled down. Seeing Ling Chunan sitting in Zeng Wuyue's arms, he didn't divert his gaze, his voice respectful, "Fifth Master, Young Master Ling, it's been two hours since we rested. When do we depart?"

"In half an hour," Zeng Wuyue's voice was hoarse.

"Understood."

Watching the closed window again, Yuan Wu turned around and headed towards his own vehicle. However, his steps suddenly paused. Something was off.

The posture Ling Chunan was in when he was sitting on Fifth Master... combined with Ling Chunan's flushed face and Zeng Wuyue's voice... Yuan Wu's mind raced, and he forced himself to continue walking. However, he accidentally tripped on his own foot.

"Wu-ge, are you okay?" A nearby, honest-looking guy asked with concern, "Why is your face so red

? Are you running a fever?"

Seeing Yuan Wu leave, Ling Chunan gently bit Zeng Wuyue's Adam's apple, "Half an hour, you're quite fast."

Zeng Wuyue didn't say anything, just fiercely kissing the spot where Ling Chunan bit him. Then, in a low voice, he said, "Darling, let's see who's faster."

Half an hour later, the convoy departed on schedule. The driver who had observed Ling Chunan sleeping in the car asked, "Fifth Master, is Young Master Ling okay? Even after resting for more than two hours, he looks so tired."

"He's fine. He'll be fine after a short rest," Zeng Wuyue lifted Ling Chunan into his arms.

098, observing everything, expressed: Creating your own problems is not a good way to live.

Mocking the top doesn't end well.

When Ling Chunan woke up, he was already in bed. Having not touched a bedsheet for a long time, he couldn't help but roll around a bit. "098, where's Zeng Wuyue?"

"He's downstairs planning the next route with the subordinates. This is Jingyang Village, and the main characters of the plot will pass through here tonight, according to the timeline."

"What's the male lead's ability level?"

"At the peak of level one. You can still beat him."

"I'm a pacifist, not advocating for fighting."

"Oh." 098's tone was indifferent, wondering who had tied up the male and female leads in sacks in the first place.

However, the male lead is indeed a tricky problem," Ling Chunan sighed. There's also the reborn female lead who constantly wants to kill him and obtain his space. I wonder how far they've progressed in their scheming.

Zeng Wuyue opened the door and saw Ling Chunan lying on the bed, wrapped up like a scroll, his brows furrowed in contemplation. There was a hint of amusement in his eyes as Zeng Wuyue reached out, pulling him and the blanket into his embrace. "What's my baby thinking about?"

"Just reminiscing about old classmates. I wonder how they're doing," Ling Chunan sighed.

Zeng Wuyue's eyes slightly darkened, but his tone remained unchanged. "Which classmate is my baby thinking about?"

"You've met him before. Back then, you even sent him to the medical room." Ling Chunan pursed his lips, a hint of heaviness between his brows. "There's also a female classmate. Before I took leave, she confessed to me." Ignoring the increasingly unpleasant expression on Zeng Wuyue's face, Ling Chunan sighed again. "I don't know how they're doing."

"Don't worry, my baby. Everything happens for a reason. They should be doing fine," Zeng Wuyue gently ruffled Ling Chunan's hair. "Tell me their names, and I'll inquire about them for you."

"Okay." Ling Chunan trusted him without suspicion, easily mentioning two names, "Qin Haoyuan and Tong Xiaoxiao."

"Got it." Zeng Wuyue lowered his head to peck the corner of Ling Chunan's lips. "I have some things to attend to outside. Baby, get some more rest."

"098, how about using the strategy of using someone else to achieve our goal?"

"Host, what you're doing is not right. Didn't you see how dark his face became when you mentioned those two names? What if Zeng Wuyue ends up killing the male and female leads?"

"Don't worry." Yawning, Ling Chunan wrapped himself in the blanket. "He won't kill them."

Meanwhile, Tong Xiaoxiao and Qin Haoyuan were in high spirits. They had gathered quite a few underlings and headed north with a group of about ten people. They arrived at a small village, surprisingly finding that the zombies here seemed to have been completely cleared.

They even spotted living people!
