Chapter 95: Slaying the Base High Command
With that, Wang Rui gestured for the guards at the entrance to come over.
Indeed, the armed personnel outside the base mirrored their master, Wang Rui. Although these men were not ability users, they were all trained fighters, and in Wang Rui's eyes, they were more than capable of handling Ye Zian, the wealthy young master.
However, Lin Qianqian, standing behind Ye Zian, was not one to be provoked. Gradually, her patience wore thin, and she began to harbor murderous intent.
In an instant, Lin Qianqian drew her long sword from her space ring and swiftly dispatched the guards.
As the once vibrant guards lay dead, their lifeless bodies cold on the ground, Wang Rui collapsed in shock, stammering, "Ah, you're ability users?"
He never imagined that the Ye Zian he used to party and have fun with would become an ability user after the apocalypse.
Ye Zian walked toward Wang Rui, his left hand grasping the back of Wang Rui's head, lifting him effortlessly. His voice was icy as he questioned, "I can understand greed and lust, but how can someone be so blind to another's true power and dare to rob them?"
With a slight squeeze of his fingers, Wang Rui's skull cracked ominously, blood trickling down his face.
Panic surged through Wang Rui as his pants grew damp, a mix of yellow liquid and red blood pooling beneath him.
Ye Zian continued, "Who gave you the confidence to think that someone you once looked up to before the apocalypse would now be beneath you?"
"Please, spare me! My fatherโ"
Before Wang Rui could finish, Ye Zian crushed his skull with a sudden, brutal force, splattering blood and brain matter everywhere. Wang Rui's eyes went blank, his body going limp.
The two women beside him, witnessing the gruesome scene, immediately abandoned any pretense of dignity and fell to their knees in a desperate plea. "Please, Young Master Ye, don't kill us! We barely know him and were forced to follow his orders!"
Ye Zian disregarded their pleas and walked past, leaving the two women to breathe a sigh of relief before they felt an unnatural chill enveloping them. In an instant, they were frozen solid and then shattered into pieces.
While he didn't know the specifics of their relationship with Wang Rui, anyone who had prior knowledge of the conspiracy involving Su Chen needed to be dealt with thoroughly.
With the guards outside dispatched by Lin Qianqian, there were no further obstacles on the way to the Wang family's hall.
As they moved through the hall, any servants they encountered were struck down by a wave of cold energy, instantly killing them before they could utter a word.
No one would expect anyone to dare invade the lord's residence of the Xiacheng base, especially with seven ability users inside.
Ye Zian easily located the meeting hall where the high-ranking officials were gathered using his psychic energy.
He pushed open the door and strode directly into the conference room.
Inside, six people sat on either side of the table, while the leader, Wang Yunshan, the lord of the Xiacheng base, sat directly opposite Ye Zian.
Wang Yunshan had strikingly defined features and exuded a competent aura. She wore an ice-blue fitted robe that accentuated her alluring curves.
Upon seeing Ye Zian burst into the meeting room, Wang Yunshan frowned slightly, her expression reflecting her displeasure. "Chairman Ye, why aren't you at your fortress in the suburbs? What brings you to the Xiacheng base?"
Her words echoed the thoughts of everyone present.
Wang Yunshan was furious at the intrusion; had it not been for her friendship with Zhao Wanrong, she would have ordered Ye Zian out immediately.
Yet, Ye Zian was fortunate; his impulsive decision to build a fortress before the apocalypse had led him to this zombie crisis, which had apparently amassed a significant supply of resources.
However, as Wang Yunshan and the others made eye contact with Ye Zian's cold gaze, they sensed the overwhelming killing intent emanating from him. Wang Yunshan realized that Ye Zian was indeed an ability user, and his power far surpassed her own.
Was this really the same spoiled young man from before the apocalypse?
The other ability users quickly tucked away any thoughts of underestimating him.
Ye Zian ignored their astonished and greedy looks and interrupted their discussions coldly, "Let's put your discussions aside for now; I have something for you to do."
His voice was frigid, sounding more like an order than a request.
With that, he produced the portrait he had sketched of Taro Honda and handed it over.
"Have any of you seen this person?"
Though all six on one side of the table were ability users, they were also competitors. After sensing the true power of Ye Zian and his companions, none dared to act rashly, even with his commanding tone.
This was no joke; these three were ability users, and the man at the forefront was likely at least a second-tier ability user.
He truly was a prodigy, and they had only just awakened their abilities.
On the other side sat several executives from pre-apocalypse Xiacheng companies and heads of key departments, all seasoned in reading situations.
These individuals, who controlled vast resources and had loyal employees, had managed to participate in the construction and management of the base.
Seeing the ability users lowering their heads, they realized that Ye Zian's strength was significant, and they were wise to comply with his request.
Among the ordinary managers, Ye Zian spotted the figure of Deputy Director Wang Yunshan, Wang Rui's father and Wang Yunshan's older brother.
In his mind, he had already sentenced him to death.
Though Su Chen was dead and Lin Qianqian and Su Wei had already turned back to his side, this lingering threat could not be left alone; it was better to eliminate it now than to risk future complications.
The others took the portrait and shook their heads, indicating they had never seen the man.
"Never seen him."
"Don't recognize him."
Ye Zian sighed, conjuring a chair to sit down, directly across from Wang Yunshan, speaking in a tone of disappointment, "Surely one of you must know something about this. I'm quite disappointed that you're all hiding the truth."
The people in the meeting room exchanged glances, unsure of whom Ye Zian was implying.
Suddenly, a flash of silver light sliced through the air, and aside from Wang Yunshan, the other twelve base managers were instantly decapitated by the blade energy from Ye Zian's Soul-Eater Knife, their skull fragments scattering across the floor or the conference table.
Wang Yunshan stared in horror as Ye Zian produced a long knife from seemingly nowhere, slaughtering those who were her equals in strength, including her own brother, Wang Yunshan.
"Brother!" she cried out in anguish, attempting to resist, only to find her hands frozen to the chair, unable to move.
Ye Zian regarded the fallen corpses with a hint of regret. "Oh? It seems I was mistaken; you genuinely didn't know anything."
