NOVEL NEXT Chapter 96: Such Cliche
"Ah, I didn't imagine that the disappearance of morals is finally showing so early in the Apocalypse. I thought it might take a while for humans to start acting inhumanly. I guess I'm wrong this time."
Xiao Wei decided to finally help out with the pitiful brother and sister who have the same appearance, showing that the two of them are born as twins. Inwardly though, he wanted to let out some stress after the unlucky experience of being teleported.
"What did you say?"
"Are you talking about us?"
"Tsk, tsk, the inhuman is talking to me. What should I do if they suddenly want to kill me too? Time like this, I wish Brother Blue was with me… he will definitely clean up the foolish people that want to harm me…"
Xiao Wei crimson eyes squinted toward the men and women, who swiftly turned to his direction with wide furious eyes, appearing to be utter in disbelief at what they were hearing, which then showed a flash of horror after seeing his crimson eyes.
"Oh, don't look at me like that, I am hu-!"
While Xiao Wei can finish his words, a gun has suddenly appeared in the man's hand before firing in his direction without any hesitation, while the woman standing by his side created a water ball the size of a fist and shooting in his direction.
Of course, Xiao Wei is able to avoid the bullet and the small water ball from hitting him. Even though he has been playful and showing an easy-going appearance the entire, he has never let his guard down.
Because in the entire world, there is only one person that could make him lower his guard down, and that special person wasn't by his side at the moment, the two of them are separated miles away.
So, it wasn't surprising when he was able to skillfully dodge the attack, before swiftly arriving near the annoying couple with a wide twisted grin on his lip.
And without any hesitation, he took out the metal bat he stored in his dimension space right before the ability user with the same space element power.
"Heh… this is the second time someone wants to kill me."
Well, it's not like I care how indifferent, cruel, and brutal the human race is in this world.
After all, what he needed to do is to completely ensure the continued survival of the human race, so it doesn't matter much how they will turn out in such a lawless world.
Of course, he is also planning to enjoy and have fun in the process of completing the mission he made a deal with Black and the World Rule Will.
"This time, I don't feel like forgiving the people that want my life."
Bam! Bam!
Without hesitation, Xiao Wei ruthlessly hit the couple's faces with excitement flashing in his crimson pupils, leading to a few broken teeth and a splash of blood flying in the air.
And before the woman, who shot him with the gun two hours ago could react, Xiao Wei cruelly stepped upon the man's wrist and made his excitement rise higher after the sound of bone breaking down echoed out, before being followed by the man howl of pain.
Shortly, he took a few steps toward the woman that was also groaning on the ground, a similar situation occurred as the sound of bones breaking and a painful scream once more resounded out.
Of course, such violent disturbance has also gotten the attention of the other people in the building.
"Hey! Stop!"
Xiao Wei tilted his head to the side when the woman that had been guiding him shouted anxiously, before finally deciding to stop letting out his stress to the couple in the ground, especially when his future little minion had rushed over in a corner, along with the others.
"Ok, Wei Wei will stop."
In order to make a point, he even showed an adorable smile on his face while blinking his crimson eyes in an innocent manner, completely showing a harmless and well-behaved appearance.
Nonetheless, no one was fooled after witnessing his brutal and ruthless move just a moment ago.
Particularly when everyone understands that in such an environment, such injuries are extremely difficult to cure and can become deadly, only if there is also a person that has gotten a healing ability on their side.
"What's happening here?"
Suddenly, a tall middle-aged man with a pair of evil eyes walked over between the group of people that had arrived a few seconds after Xiao Wei's little minion appeared.
Which has also caused the screaming man and woman in the ground to sobbingly ask for help, at the same time, avenging them.
Oh, a backer? And another cliche I need to decide on what route should I take?
In this kind of situation, this person would be another small boss that I needed to defeat, right?
For now, though, ignoring some of the hostile people around, Xiao Wei turned to the frowning woman that was giving an alert expression on her face while his future little minion has become completely wary toward the tall middle-aged man.
Hmm…. It seemed the people in the building weren't only led by Li Shi alone.
That man should be another leader in the group of people inside the building based on the reaction of the two people that got closer to his side, unconsciously showing a protective gesture despite the sudden trouble that he has given them.
"Hey Aunt, I changed my mind. It feels safer to stay in this place than to where you guys are staying. I'll just take one of the empty cell rooms as my own instead of the room this Little Brother has carefully prepared for me."
The woman that was suddenly called 'Aunt' twitched her lip before letting out a snort, completely ignoring the sudden change of mind of the mentally ill young man before her while Li Shi couldn't help but slightly relax.
Of course, the woman is also trying to act normal and warily observing the tall man standing in the distance, which was calmly gazing in their direction despite how one of the two people in his side was severely injured.
At the same time, she couldn't help but feel quite fortunate that there are more people on their side and understand that Li Shi is far better to follow instead of the man who always has an evil look in his eyes.
"Brat, call me Big Sis Jia and suit yourself, it's going to be your room anyway."
The woman glances at the young man trying to act innocent on their side, nonetheless, despite the trouble and danger, she couldn't help but feel that the young man is pleasing to the eyes after remembering that he was a space ability user.
Among the group of people in the building, although they have lots of people along with ability users, what they lack is a person with a space stored ability power, which led them to go outside more than the other group in order to collect materials.
And after the young man has displayed the use of his space ability without hesitation and casually throwing a bottle of medicine, it showed that there is more material in the young man's space if he could easily give up an extremely precious medicine.
After all, even though it was a simple pain reliever that could easily be bought in a store pharmacy in the past, however, in the Apocalypse, just a piece of medicine is already extremely precious.
So, she completely understands that there are more pros on their side if they are closer to the young man instead of letting him go to another place or join another group.
Particularly when among the people they met that have gotten an ability, it seemed that this young man's space ability is completely different from the one in the building.
"Hey, are you ignoring us!"
"Who the hell is this arrogant kid that dares to injure our people?"
"Boss, let me teach him a lesson!"
Bang!
"Ahhh! My knee!!!"
"Ah, so noisy, why do you guys keep yapping and causing me trouble? Be good so that I'll be good too. I already have a tiring day, and all I want to do is call my lover so I can complain and receive his love, so can you properly behave?"
Just like that, the innocent, harmless, and well-behaved appearance was broken in a matter of seconds.
Xiao Wei couldn't help but show an annoyed look toward the group of people that is obviously in a different group from his future little minion before casually putting the gun back in the dimension space.
At the same time, he just secretly took note of the evil eye middle-aged man that has been observing in the distance with a flash of contemplation on his face, seemingly having some scheme in his mind.
Hmm… as my future little minion, I should take care of his problem, right?
While thinking those thoughts in mind, Xiao Wei has walked over the teenage twin brother and sister locked in the cell, one is unconscious because of high fever while the other has been quietly observing the entire situation while hiding her presence.
After squatting down, Xiao Wei asked a question he deemed extremely important among anything else, even the troublesome cliche has been pushed down in the list of situations he needed to deal with.
"Hey, Little sister, what is the level of your culinary skill?"
I don't want to die from my dark cuisine… that would be a funny and interesting way to die though… maybe we can try the double suicide with my dear when we are at the end of our life in this world?
While Xiao Wei thought has suddenly turned dangerous, the teenage girl who has been observing the entire situation with extremely sharp eyes despite the line of tears on her face has quickly grasped a chance of survival.
"The Top! Our family has been producing skilled chefs in every generation, and my twin brother and I are the best among our generation!"
Never in her entire life was she extremely grateful for following the tradition in their family, which she has always thought of as a burden, preventing her from fulfilling her long-time dream.
"Oh? Then show me your skill."
Xiao Wei's crimson eyes light up after hearing the young woman's words and directly open the locked cell after tinkering the keyhole for a few seconds, which causes some of the people's faces to darken because of his rude and lawless behavior.
While Jia can only shake her head at the young man's antics, at the same time, feeling quite happy when the tall man has chosen to remain quiet, instead of his usual act of trying to move against them.
After all, every action, word, and skill the young man has just displayed completely showed that he was not easy to provoke, particularly the hint of a mental problem they were able to detect from him.
It's not easy to provoke a crazy person, especially when the world has turned completely lawless.
"Big Sis Jia, you can go now. And Little Brother, you will take care of the problem, right? Don't worry, I'll give an equal reward for your hard work~"
"Alright kiddo, if you need help, just ask us anytime."
"Don't worry, I'll handle it."
If Jia were to choose which one of the two is she willing to ally with, she wouldn't hesitate to choose the young man with a screw loose in his head instead of the tall man that is definitely hiding sinister intentions toward them.
Hmph, that sly snake isn't a good thing. Don't think that no one knows that he wanted to lead the entire group, and was looking for a chance to take care of Li Shi.
At least, the young man has spoken his taboo, even though it was utter in such a casual and playful way, Jia can still perceive that the young man is completely serious about it.
One has already deemed them as enemy while the other isn't. So, it's quite easy for Jia to decide which one to choose between them.
Of course, in the following days to come, Jia wouldn't have imagined how crazy and insane the young man really is, and it was already too late when she learned how troublesome the person she has chosen to ally with since she and the others were already in the same boat.
