Chapter 119 – A Sinister Double-Cross

What Lin Luanqiu didn’t know was that, at that very moment in the restroom, a figure was struggling to climb in through the window.

The person sneaking into the swimming pool was none other than its leader, Wei Junyan.

After finally managing to climb into the restroom, he sat down on the floor, clutching his severed arm in agony. Blood had already soaked through his sleeve, and the intense pain nearly made him pass out.

“Dammit, no one can know I’m injured, especially not when I’m this weak…”

Wei Junyan’s face was extremely pale, and his breathing was erratic. After panting for a while, he slowly struggled to the sink, pulling out a first aid kit from underneath it to start treating his wound.

He was well aware that many survivors had already gathered here. That was precisely why he hadn’t dared to come in through the main entrance.

These survivors were here because they valued his identity as a superhuman and saw him as their lifeline. If they discovered how severely he was injured, there was no telling what might happen.

Fortunately, this place was where he had been hiding supplies. Moreover, since the disaster struck, the toilets had become unusable, so no one would come here, making it relatively safe for the time being.

He planned to temporarily treat his wound, then quietly sneak out and return to his room to rest for a few days…

As for the survivors who had already arrived, Wei Junyan was confident that his team had already taken care of them. Although he wasn’t present, these people had risked their lives to get here and wouldn’t cause trouble over something minor.

Even if they were discontent, they would hold out until he showed up.

Wei Junyan’s original plan was to urge more survivor teams to make their way here as quickly as possible, then find ways to get rid of some of the burdens among them.

The large amount of supplies these survivor teams gathered for him would become his capital for staying here long-term.

Though he wouldn’t exactly be an emperor, he would at least be the “ruler” of X City University.

Ever since discovering his superhuman abilities, Wei Junyan had been searching for a survival method that suited him best.

Although he could easily use his powers to escape to the outside world, he preferred to be surrounded by eyes filled with fear and admiration. These gazes came from his former teachers and classmates, as well as those high-status guys and beautiful girls who used to make him feel inferior. The immense psychological satisfaction made him reluctant to leave the crowd.

However, the current situation at X City University meant he couldn’t enjoy this peace of mind.

The available resources for scavenging were dwindling, and the surrounding environment was becoming increasingly harsh.

After clearing out the swimming pool, Wei Junyan finally came up with a feasible and sinister plan.

While the supplies at X City University were scarce, gathering all of them together would still amount to a considerable sum.

Spread thinly among all the survivors, the supplies seemed negligible, but by reducing the number of survivors as much as possible, a large amount of resources could be saved.

After some contemplation, Wei Junyan devised a plan that could kill two birds with one stone.

He would contact Survivor Teams from all around, giving them hope by leveraging his identity as a superhuman. These people, desperate to survive under his protection, would inevitably go to great lengths to gather supplies to meet his condition of trading resources for a place.

In this process, he could not only use these survivors to easily collect all the supplies in the central area but also drastically reduce the number of survivors!

And once he started implementing this plan, the results were indeed remarkable!

To gather supplies, some survivors went through internal struggles, expelling a portion of the group as cannon fodder and forcing them to scavenge by any means. Others fought among different Survivor Teams to rob each other’s resources…

Although Survivor Teams had been arriving one after another these days, Wei Junyan was still not satisfied!

Thus, he had been intensifying his activities outside… But what he hadn’t expected was to be caught off guard at such a critical moment, ending up in this miserable state because of Ling Mo and his two companions, and he almost didn’t make it back alive…

Wei Junyan’s eyes were filled with hatred. He silently vowed to find a chance to kill Ling Mo and his companions once he recovered!

Losing one arm wasn’t a big deal; his most important right hand was still intact. This outcome was better than losing his life.

But just as he was struggling to wrap a bandage around his severed arm, he suddenly felt a chill behind him, and his body instantly tensed up.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the mirror in front of him.

In the mirror, he clearly saw a figure appear at the window. That seemingly unremarkable but unforgettable face belonged to Ling Mo.

Damn it!!!

Wei Junyan cursed inwardly. He hadn’t expected Ling Mo to risk coming out to hunt him down!

Could it be that the zombies near the Library hadn’t posed any threat to him? Hadn’t any zombies along the way been able to stop him?

He had another question in his mind: How did this guy find him? But then he remembered those girls, and he instantly regretted it deeply.

In hindsight, he should have killed all those girls…

He slowly turned his gaze towards the door, calculating the distance between himself and the door. Even when his arm was intact, he had been forced to jump out of a window. Now that he had lost an arm, how could he possibly face Ling Mo and his companions?

Just as Ling Mo leaped down from the window, Wei Junyan suddenly bolted towards the door!

But there was no way Ling Mo would let him escape after tracking him down here. Although Wei Junyan’s superpowered escape was incredibly fast, Ling Mo’s Psychic Tentacle lashed out at that moment, violently slamming the door shut!

This was a small achievement of Ling Mo’s Telekinesis after countless practices. While he still couldn’t exert too much force, closing a door was entirely within his capability.

This extraordinary scene left Wei Junyan utterly terrified, but it was too late for him to stop. With a loud “bang!”, he crashed into the door.

Wei Junyan, now dizzy and with blood gushing from his nose, knew it was too late to open the door. Almost instinctively, he ducked down, and the blade of a short knife brushed past his scalp with a “clang,” embedding itself in the door.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Wei Junyan rolled through a gap, but just as he was about to stand up, a cold gleam flashed past his neck, and a shadow appeared before his eyes.

Xia Na, with a slightly eerie smile, was looking down at him, while at the other exit—the window—stood Ye Lian.

The door was blocked by Ling Mo, who yanked the short knife out of the door and then turned to look at Wei Junyan with a mocking smile. “Unless you can flush yourself down the toilet, you’re dead today.”

Facing imminent death, Wei Junyan’s face turned deathly pale. Though he had a vicious heart, it didn’t mean he could remain calm and composed in the face of death.

In fact, he humiliatingly realized that he was trembling uncontrollably.
