Chapter 86: The Simple Life of a Tyrant
After returning to the fortress, Ye Zian headed to Zhao Wanrong's residence, remembering his promise to stay there overnight.
Zhao Wanrong sat by the window, gazing dreamily at the villa's entrance. As midnight approached and she still hadn't seen Ye Zian, she sighed in resignation and turned off the lights to sleep.
Just as Zhao Wanrong pulled the covers over herself, Ye Zian slipped in beside her.
Feeling the familiar presence envelop her, Zhao Wanrong nestled contentedly against Ye Zian's chest.
The next morning, when Ye Zian woke up, Zhao Wanrong had already gone to the logistics department to draft reform plans.
Ye Zian glanced at the countdown in the system—there were still over eight hours remaining until the power system's upgrade was complete.
Looking out at the Tower of Heaven, he couldn't help but wonder how the fortress would move.
Could it become a sky city?
As he exited the villa, Chen Ruoxue ran over, her face brimming with excitement and breathless as she said:
"City Lord, many of our sisters awakened their abilities today—at least 200 of them, most of whom are former members of the Search Team."
Ye Zian wasn't surprised. The recruits he had brought in before the apocalypse had a minimum potential of A-rank; they just lacked an opportunity. After yesterday's battle, it was expected that those who participated would awaken their powers.
"Reassign the awakened ability users according to their functions and integrate them into other departments. They should quickly clear out the nearby zombies and collect zombie crystal chips."
"Understood."
From a distance, Lin Qianqian and Liu Qinghuan spotted Ye Zian and quickly ran over, their playful energy infectious.
It was undeniable that the two, who were enemies in the book, were getting along harmoniously in this life.
"Brother Zian."
"You two came at the right time. Prepare yourselves; tomorrow we'll head to the urban area of Xiacheng."
With Ye Zian's current strength, he could easily wipe out the Xiacheng base, but the primary objective was still to find the researchers from the Empire of the East hiding in Xiacheng. Both of them were from Xiacheng, and especially Liu Qinghuan, as an elemental ability user with area attack capabilities, would greatly assist Ye Zian in his mission.
Ye Zian decided that Liu Qinghuan's ability, **Ice and Fire Sorceress**, would be the second ability he recorded, which would help fill the gap in his magical attacks.
Liu Qinghuan was thrilled to have the opportunity to go out, readily agreeing to Ye Zian's proposal.
With Ouyang Xue helping to share some of the logistics team's workload, and the deputy leader Wei Le'er managing things, Liu Qinghuan felt it was no issue to leave the fortress for a few days.
"Sounds great!"
Afterward, the two separated to assign tasks for the following day.
Ye Zian returned to the fifth floor of the Tower of Heaven. Perhaps due to An Ziyu's identity as an ability user, she was still asleep. All other team members' injuries had completely healed by this morning.
An Ziyu lay in the nutrient solution, her eyes closed, and her wounds had already healed, revealing fair, delicate skin.
Suddenly, An Ziyu slowly opened her eyes, finding herself submerged in liquid.
Where am I? What is this place?
"Ziyu, you're awake?"
Ye Zian's voice reached An Ziyu's ears. She turned to see Ye Zian beside her.
She thought to herself, 'Looks like the City Lord saved me.'
As she looked at Ye Zian's face, a wave of happiness surged through her. Did the City Lord stay by my side this whole time?
The nutrient solution began to drain automatically, and a nearby display panel indicated that An Ziyu had fully recovered.
The glass dome of the medical pod slowly opened, and only then did An Ziyu realize she was completely naked and shyly attempted to cover herself.
"Why be shy? There's no one else here, and I've seen it all before."
With that, Ye Zian confidently lifted An Ziyu and placed her onto a nearby hospital bed.
Hearing Ye Zian's words, An Ziyu relaxed her hands, allowing him to carry her over.
Ye Zian casually took a towel and prepared to wipe away the nutrient solution from An Ziyu's body.
An Ziyu's heroic features turned red as she stammered, "C-City Lord, I can do this myself."
"No way. You've just recovered; you need to listen to me."
Ye Zian firmly refused, carefully wiping her down.
An Ziyu softly replied, "Mm."
Her originally fair skin took on a lovely blush.
Ye Zian looked seriously at An Ziyu and asked, "Do you know why you were injured this time?"
An Ziyu cautiously replied, "Because my strength wasn't enough?"
Ye Zian replied earnestly, "That's only half right. It's because you haven't been training with me enough, which is why you got hurt by Su Chen." After saying this, Ye Zian intended to train with her again.
This time, An Ziyu was not as stiff as before but eagerly responded to Ye Zian.
In her unconscious state, the figure of her City Lord had lingered in her mind, and she feared she might never see him again.
After a while, Ye Zian and An Ziyu concluded their training session.
Looking at the small red marks on the hospital bed, Ye Zian paused, glancing at the medical pod and couldn't help but think:
'Ugh, this medical pod is really inappropriate.'
An Ziyu was now fine, and Ye Zian informed her that the rookie team would be restructured into the fifth search team, instructing her to quickly select 300 new members to fill her ranks.
As he walked past the residential area, he spotted Zhou Ruying watering flowers in a wheelchair. Ye Zian was momentarily taken aback; shouldn't she be in the cafeteria for a meeting?
"Wait a minute."
As Ye Zian approached, he realized that this was Zhou Ruying's twin sister, Zhou Ruyun.
Due to her leg disability, Zhou Ruyun could only be considered a half-member. The fortress provided her with food and shelter for free, and later, Zhao Wanrong made an exception to let her be listed under the agricultural team, responsible for managing the flowers in the residential area, thus allowing her to hold a temporary position in the team.
Upon closer inspection, although Zhou Ruyun looked identical to Zhou Ruying, her temperament was entirely different.
Quietly sitting in her wheelchair, she watered the flowers, appearing detached from the world.
Perhaps sensing something, Zhou Ruyun turned her head and saw Ye Zian staring at her, causing her to panic and stammer:
"C-City Lord, hello."
Ye Zian spoke calmly, "If I told you there was a way to help you stand again and become an ability user like your sister, would you be willing to try?"
Though Ye Zian's tone was calm, Zhou Ruyun was perceptive enough to guess what his method was.
After pondering for a moment and recalling the sacrifices her sister had made for her, she looked determined and replied, "As long as I can stand again, I'm willing to make any sacrifice."
Ye Zian picked up Zhou Ruyun and carried her into her room, preparing to guide her through her first training session.
