Apocalypse: Launching a Counterattack Against the Villainess

Page 151

After hesitating for a long time, Yuwen Chaolu cautiously explained:

"Rinne-chan... and Nie Qingyun's encounter was an accident, we don't know the specifics..."

"I don't know how you know it was an accident!" Cheng Yuqiu persisted.

To be honest, Yuwen Chaolu blushed when she saw the writing on Bai Yelinyin's body. She had no idea what kind of play those two had been doing behind the scenes. She couldn't possibly explain such a thing, so she could only keep quiet.

Junko Hanagami was introverted by nature and dared not speak. The others also dared not utter a sound, and for a moment the only sound in the bathroom was the rushing water.

In the end, it was Saotome Yui who, clutching her chest, walked up to Cheng Yuqiu, patted him, and comforted him:

"Don't be too angry, maybe there's some misunderstanding..."

“There’s no misunderstanding,” Cheng Yuqiu said, her golden twin ponytails swaying, stamping her foot immediately.

"Nie Qingyun, you big bastard!"

As she spoke, a flash of golden light appeared, and a short sword and shield landed in her hands. Her bare body was then covered with a brand-new dress.

Judging from this posture, it was clear that they were going to force open the door and go find Nie Qingyun to vent their anger.

Seeing this, Saotome Mei quickly grabbed Cheng Yuqiu.

"Calm down, this won't solve the problem."

After Cheng Yuqiu returned to the main building, Saotome was placed by Qin Hehuan's side, partly for supervision and partly to allow Cheng Yuqiu to develop a closer relationship with the students.

After spending time together, Saotome had come to understand this young lady's temperament to some extent.

This princess has a somewhat awkward personality; she is very naive, yet not frank at all when it comes to feelings.

After being rescued by Nie Qingyun, she was pampered and spoiled. Apart from her improved combat power, she was essentially still the same young lady.

She was no match for those girls who had struggled to survive.

Because these people have no one to protect them, receive no pity, and are never treated kindly.

Having seen too many dark-skinned women, when they encounter someone like Nie Qingyun who is strong and gentle towards girls, they will definitely try every means to get close to him.

If Cheng Yuqiu continues to act the way she always has, she will inevitably suffer losses.

Saotome Mei has always envied the relationship between Cheng Yuqiu and Nie Qingyun.

The kind of scene where people save each other in times of suffering is something that most people may never encounter in their lifetime.

Even if it means sacrificing for each other, such a strong bond won't easily crack, but Saotome still can't help but want to help this young lady who only has a superficial understanding of relationships.

So he moved closer to Cheng Yuqiu and whispered:

"You can't do it this way..."

"The way to truly capture a man's heart is not by forcing him to make a choice."

"If you want Nie Qingyun's attention to be entirely focused on you, I have other ways~~"

"Who, who wants to curry favor with that scoundrel!" Cheng Yuqiu was still angry and subconsciously snorted. But seeing that Saotome hadn't said anything for a while, she couldn't help but glance at her out of the corner of her eye and say:

"I... I didn't say you weren't allowed to talk about it..."

Early Girl Oto didn't actually have any experience in this area, but Qin Hehuan forced her to read a lot of study materials.

Among girls, she is already considered to be among the "experienced" few.

So he leaned close to Cheng Yuqiu's ear and whispered something in her ear.

A few seconds later, Cheng Yuqiu suddenly let out a scream, her face flushed red.

"well?-----!"

"How could you let someone else lick that kind of place!"

"Using my armpits won't work either! Damn it!"

Chapter 196: The Young Lady's Clinic

When I came out of Qin Hehuan's office, it was already completely dark.

A light drizzle began to fall outside the window, and in the distance, one could vaguely see many windows with lights flickering on.

Nie Qingyun couldn't help but lean against the windowsill and open the window.

A breath of fresh air, carrying soft raindrops, swept over me, a refreshing feeling that seemed to cleanse even the dust from my soul.

Only occasionally, a few dim figures would appear and disappear under the streetlights, reminding him that the old world had come to an end.

Amidst the flickering light, Nie Qingyun retrieved a pack of cigarettes from the [Data Space]. These items were byproducts of the "Gashapon Machine".

After hesitating for a moment, he put it away and simply leaned against the window, staring blankly outside.

This negotiation with Qin Hehuan yielded a great deal of crucial intelligence.

The most crucial element is the secret hidden within the young lady.

If everything is true, it probably won't be long before some powerful forces come knocking on their door.

The good news is that they have reached an agreement with Qin Hehuan in most areas, and the two are now nominal allies. With their information advantage, they are not necessarily at a disadvantage.

Not only that, Nie Qingyun's "Apocalypse Survival Guide" also contains the locations of a considerable number of "Supply Centers", and he can also see the quantity of all rare gacha.

What intrigued Nie Qingyun was how Qin Hehuan had acquired so many secrets.

But since Qin Hehuan didn't mention it, Nie Qingyun had no way of asking.

Their current relationship is not yet sufficient for them to share such deep secrets.

In this respect, the two have a great deal of understanding.

Right now, the most crucial thing is to expand manpower and encourage people to actively participate in and pass the trials.

In order to obtain further rewards and improve their own strength.

One that cannot be ignored is the [Ominous Salamander] in the laboratory building.

Qin Hehuan's strategic thinking was also quite clear: monopolize resources, continuously cultivate those who transcend, and use the lives of these people to build a truly feasible strategy.

Without a doubt, given the current situation, this is the most efficient approach.

However, this method is a bit too cold-hearted.

Nie Qingyun is not a partner of justice, nor is he qualified to judge whether Qin Hehuan's actions were right or wrong, but everything has a cause and effect.

If Qin Hehuan is truly as cold and ruthless as she usually appears, a complete and utter ruler, and can remain so forever, then that's fine.

If one day, her heart begins to waver about the past, even in the slightest way.

Then everything that is happening now will be like a sharp blade, mockingly tearing apart all the soft spots in her heart until she is completely torn apart.

By then, all our efforts will have been in vain.

While habitually stroking his chin, Nie Qingyun pondered whether he should share the analysis results from the "Apocalypse Survival Guide" with Qin Hehuan.

But even doing so is merely a stopgap measure, not a long-term solution.

In short, we need to think of a way.

While pondering, Nie Qingyun heard the sound of a safety net being raised in the distance. He snapped out of his thoughts, left the windowsill, and walked to the end of the corridor.

……

Nie Qingyun had already inquired about the young lady's residence from Qin Hehuan.

She was assigned to the infirmary on the third floor.

In recent days, the number of survivors in the entire complex has increased to nearly 200.

Although most areas have been cleared of zombies, concentration camp-style management measures are still in place to ensure safety.

Male and female dormitories are separated, and at least ten people share a lecture hall to rest.

For someone like Cheng Yuqiu, being able to stay in a private room with a bed and a sink is already considered an exceptional privilege.

Of course, she also has a roommate, namely Mei Saotome, a key member of the student council.

However, she had already moved out this morning, which Qin Hehuan had arranged quite thoughtfully.

After passing through layers of isolation netting resembling a prison, Nie Qingyun finally arrived at the door of the infirmary.

To his surprise, there were quite a few people standing behind the door, seemingly waiting in line for something.

Most of these people were unfamiliar faces; he had never seen them before, so he didn't pay them any mind.

Before Nie Qingyun could even enter the infirmary, he heard the young lady's somewhat impatient voice coming from inside.

"We're temporarily closing for treatment today. You can go home now."

"But, but I queued up yesterday, and it was so difficult to get to the front of the line..."

"That won't do! I already said I'm not in the mood today, you guys should go home now!"

Upon hearing this, some people in line immediately became anxious, standing on tiptoe and craning their necks to say:

"But I'm really injured~ I, I'll pay double the [Primal Crystal], okay?"

The speaker was an ordinary-looking student. He didn't look very old, and although there were some dried bloodstains on his uniform, he was so lively and energetic that he didn't look injured at all.

Nie Qingyun understood almost instantly why there were so many people standing at the entrance of the infirmary.

It seems Princess has started a paid clinic.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. She's the only survivor in the entire building with healing skills, and she can usually heal minor injuries quickly.

In today's environment where various resources are scarce, it's still worthwhile to heal wounds with just a few [Primal Crystals].

As her gaze shifted, Nie Qingyun was surprised to find a familiar, tall figure among the people in line. So she walked over and patted Shi Chuanyu on the shoulder.

"What, you're injured too?"

Like the others, Shi Chuanyu was craning his neck to look inside. When he heard Nie Qingyun's voice, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at her. His face immediately turned very embarrassed, and he even stammered.

"Uh, well, I wasn't really hurt..."

Nie Qingyun instinctively felt something was strange and was about to ask when Cheng Yuqiu's voice came from the infirmary again.

"Alright! This guy is the last one for today. If you guys don't go back soon, I'm going to call the student council..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light shone out from the doorway.

Then, a bloated fat man came out, his steps unsteady and his eyes vacant.

As he walked, he muttered to himself:

"Hehe... Jia Ran... my Jia Ran..."

Upon seeing this, Nie Qingyun almost tripped and fell to the ground.

In an instant, it dawned on me that the young lady's [Holy Light Flash] had a hallucinogenic effect...

These guys...

They're not here for treatment; they're clearly here to pay for a dream.

A perfectly good healing skill was used by the princess to become a "cyber mewtwo".

Nie Qingyun was speechless... and subconsciously looked at Shi Chuanyu again.

Upon seeing this, Shi Chuanyu immediately put on a stern face, forcibly adopting an upright and incorruptible demeanor.

"I...I'm really hurt..."

Chapter 197: The Inevitable Shura Field

This big, simple-minded man clearly didn't know how to lie; his thoughts were practically written all over his face.

Nie Qingyun didn't care about this. As he always said, there is only one shortcut to happiness for mankind.

That is escaping reality.

Moreover, in such a high-pressure environment as the end times, people always need something to comfort their souls, otherwise they cannot survive.

Seeing that the other person looked nervous and seemed to be about to explain something, Nie Qingyun simply turned his head away, waved his hand indifferently, and walked into the infirmary.

There were quite a few people standing inside the infirmary. Cheng Yuqiu was still negotiating absentmindedly when she saw Nie Qingyun come in.

She subconsciously took a step forward, imagining herself greeting the long-unseen guard with a sweet smile, just like always.

But the next second, she suppressed the impulse, glanced aside, and spoke to the others with a noticeably colder tone:

"If you don't leave, I'm going to call Mei over!"
