The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 16 (Patreon)

Chapter 16

Looking at the towering city gate, Yuan Wu, who had been in the car for half a month, sighed in relief. For some reason, ever since he discovered the secret of the two, he always felt that Ling Chunan's gaze towards him had changed. He feared the other might suddenly rush up and bite him.

The unlucky bodyguard, who had endured half a month, also breathed a sigh of relief. Since the day he talked with Yuan Wu, he felt that everything was going wrong. Even when dealing with zombies, they seemed unusually fond of him, almost bitten several times. In the end, it was Ling Chunan who saved him each time.

So, if you asked the bodyguard who he most admired now, he would definitely answer Ling Chunan, even putting Zeng Wuyue in second place.

On the flip side, during these days, Ling Chunan also paid a lot of attention to the bodyguard. Zeng Wuyue felt a bit sour in his heart, "Darling, why are you so concerned about him?"

"Nothing, I just think he looks a bit pale recently, having a streak of bad luck. He has been driving us for so long, so I thought I'd check on him." Ling Chunan replied, then asked in his mind, "098, how long will the bad luck effect last?"

"Fifteen minutes."

Zeng Wuyue thought about Su Hu's recent situation, nodded, and stopped pressing on this matter. Of course, mainly because he was indeed very unlucky.

098 was proud; the system's products were always top-notch, including the bad luck potion. However, it felt Ling Chunan was a bit petty. The bodyguard just said his mind was messed up, and he ended up having bad luck for half a month.

And... the bodyguard was indeed not wrong.

As the last minute countdown began, a sudden cry was heard. Everyone looked up and saw a large stone falling from the high city wall.

Unless something unexpected happened, the falling stone was right where the bodyguard, who had just got off the car, was preparing to enter the city.

"This wave is stable." Ling Chunan nodded in satisfaction, then threw an ice ball, knocking the bodyguard, who was scared out of his wits, to the ground.

The big stone made a loud bang as it hit the ground, creating a deep pit and rolling several times before finally stopping.

After a while, the bodyguard finally got up, wiping his nose and tears. He was about to thank Ling Chunan when he saw Zeng Wuyue hugging Ling Chunan's waist. He thought for a moment, then covered his greatly frightened heart and continued queuing.

On the other side, Tong Xiaoxiao, who saw Ling Chunan using his ability for the first time, was stunned. "He, he has abilities?"

"What? You mean Little Ling?" A man in the queue, who had some affection for Tong Xiaoxiao, turned to her and, with great admiration when mentioning Ling Chunan, said, "He is the most powerful person with abilities in our team."

Tong Xiaoxiao couldn't believe it, "No, with abilities, how could he willingly become someone's male pet?" Moreover, she had been easily knocked out by him that day; it must be fake!

"Who said Little Ling is a male pet?" The man was a bit displeased, and his expression towards Tong Xiaoxiao turned cold. "Does he seem like a male pet to Fifth Master? Please speak more respectfully."

Tong Xiaoxiao's face turned pale. Unwillingly biting her lips, she decided not to speak anymore.

She had been deceived, and for so long. That guy must have intentionally not shown any signs to see her reaction.

Thinking of this, Tong Xiaoxiao couldn't help but grit her teeth.

Since advancing to the third level of abilities, Ling Chunan's senses had become several times more acute than before. He naturally heard the conversation between the two.

Ling Chunan leaned towards Zeng Wuyue, "098, the female lead looks really scary."

098: "It's because you deceived her."

Ling Chunan looked innocent, "I didn't, she just has a vivid imagination."

From the original plot, Tong Xiaoxiao was a stubborn person. Since she didn't find the jade pendant from him last time, she would definitely take further action. So, what Ling Chunan was doing now was provoking her.

In his words, regardless of who it is, intelligence tends to decrease in moments of anger, and the female lead is no exception.

Due to Zeng Wuyue's team being mostly composed of ability holders, they easily entered the city. At this point, nearly two months had passed since the beginning of the apocalypse, and the levels of ability holders were generally low, with the highest being second-level ability holders.

Zeng Wuyue is now a second-level ability holder, Ling Chunan is at level three, male lead Qin Haoyuan at level two, and the female lead at the peak of level one. Not to mention Ling Chunan, all three of them were considered experts in this post-apocalyptic world. However, Tong Xiaoxiao still hesitated to reveal her abilities to the others.

After half a month of recuperation and the healing effects of her abilities, Tong Xiaoxiao had barely regained her health two days ago. She seemed to want to reconcile with Qin Haoyuan, but he showed no sympathy. Ignoring her, he often approached Ling Chunan instead.

"Haoyuan, are you still angry with me?" Tong Xiaoxiao tugged at Qin Haoyuan's sleeve, with a slight frown. "I really didn't mean to harm Ling Chunan that day. I..."

However, Qin Haoyuan didn't even glance at her, walking away on his own.

After entering the city, they separated from Zeng Wuyue's team. Naturally, Qin Haoyuan couldn't be with Tong Xiaoxiao, and due to Zeng Wuyue's presence, he couldn't stay in the team either – after all, he had intentions towards Ling Chunan.

These days, Qin Haoyuan finally understood what was peculiar about his feelings towards Ling Chunan.

He liked Ling Chunan.

Every time he thought about this, Qin Haoyuan wanted to slap himself. He noticed that Ling Chunan was different the first time they met. Why did it take him so long to realize?

But now, Ling Chunan already belonged to someone else... No, he couldn't accept it.

Watching Qin Haoyuan's figure go far away, Tong Xiaoxiao clenched her hands and then turned towards the registration center for ability holders.

Ling Chunan lazily lay on the sofa in the assigned villa, "098, how much is my comeback value?"

"80%, host." 098 reminded, "I forgot to mention the change in the mission requirements. Now, the host only needs to fill up the comeback value, and the time limit has been added."

"...How much time?"

"You still have three months, host." 098's voice was sincere. "Please don't worry, it's only 20% left. You'll complete it soon."

Ling Chunan closed his eyes, his voice calm, "Can you turn into a cat?"

Suddenly, 098 felt a bit chilly, recalling the miserable sight when it first met Ling Chunan. After a moment of silence, it said, "The host bit 098's transformation program last time. It's currently under repair."

"Heh." Ling Chunan coldly chuckled, making a mental note of this account.

"Darling, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Zeng Wuyue came out of the temporary meeting room with his subordinates, reaching out to pull Ling Chunan into his arms, sounding somewhat concerned.

"Nothing, just a bit tired." Ling Chunan rubbed against his shoulder, then glanced at 098, "I'm sure I didn't show any flaws. How did he see that I'm not in a good mood?"

This time, 098 uncommonly didn't answer Ling Chunan's question.

Accustomed to their boss and his wife showing affection anytime, anywhere, the subordinates tactfully retreated.

Ling Chunan concealed the strange feeling in his heart and began to kindle the fire on the man.

On the third day, Ling Chunan finally got out of bed, massaging his sore waist.

"Darling, do you want to sleep a bit more?" Zeng Wuyue approached Ling Chunan.

Ling Chunan glared at him, kicking him out with one foot. His voice was slightly hoarse, "No more sleep."

In the following month, a rising star among ability holders emerged in the Jingcheng base. In a short period, he became the captain of the base's ability team, directly defeating the former captain. His ability level was approaching level three. Undoubtedly, this person was Qin Haoyuan.

Another piece of news was the appearance of a rare healing-type ability holder within the base!

"The female lead is really clever, not exposing her ability to cure the zombie virus." Zeng Wuyue led the team on a mission, leaving Ling Chunan rolling on the bed in boredom. "When does the second zombie evolution start?"

"In two hours," 098 replied.

During the second zombie evolution, many non-ability survivors would turn into zombies again. At the same time, both ability holders and zombies would undergo a unified upgrade. Meanwhile, the Jingcheng base would face a massive zombie wave.

Ling Chunan nodded, "When will Uncle be back?"

"Don't know, Zeng Wuyue is not an important character in the plot, unable to be detected," 098's tone was indifferent. "Host, please note that the female lead is leading ability holders to surround this place." Pausing for a moment, it added, "The male lead has also arrived."
