Chapter 3: Wang Jiafu’s Subtle Thoughts

Wang Jiafu was not ugly; he had delicate features, but his narrow eyes made him look scheming.

When Su Han entered, his gaze swept over Su Han's face, then dropped to his shoulders, waist, and legs.

There were not many women who survived The Apocalypse, and they were all well protected. He also carried the identity of a righteous chief, so he had been abstinent for a long time.

Now that he happened to see someone so good-looking, he couldn't help but feel restless, regardless of whether it was a man or a woman.

Wang Jiafu did not show his sordid thoughts on his face and diligently poured a cup of tea for Su Han.

"Are you the new Ability User who arrived today?"

Su Han scratched his head shyly. "My name is A-Han. I happened to meet people from our base while collecting supplies outside, and that's when I learned that humans already had a large shelter."

"I am the current chief of Xiwang Base, Wang Jiafu." Wang Jiafu raised his hand, and a few drops of water quickly appeared out of thin air in his right palm. "Water-type Ability User."

The reason Wang Jiafu had such prestige in Xiwang Base was inseparable from his Ability.

Even if Shen Chengyin was powerful, so what? Spatial Ability was at most just having a bit more space to store things. But Deputy Chief Wang could produce water for the people in the base to drink!

They didn't know that time did not pass in Shen Chengyin's space, which could guarantee that food would never spoil. The few drops of water that Wang Jiafu produced now were just a drop in the bucket in the current state of extreme water shortage.

He lowered his eyes, suppressing the emotions in them.

Seeing that Su Han didn't react, Wang Jiafu couldn't help but remind him: "A-Han, what is your Ability? Can you demonstrate it for everyone?"

"Actually... I'm not sure what my Ability is." Su Han took a Primary Zombie crystal core out of his pocket. "I used to be an ordinary college student. After a high fever, I suddenly became very good at fighting and wasn't afraid of any zombies."

These words could only fool people in the early stages of The Apocalypse. Later, when human research on Ability Users deepened and the classification of abilities emerged, there would be no such Ability as the one Su Han mentioned.

Wang Jiafu's expression changed drastically.

He took the crystal core and looked at it over and over. Now was the early stage of The Apocalypse, and zombies were evolving faster than humans.

A Primary Zombie was already a very tricky existence. Even for Xiwang Base, it would take three Ability Users with extremely strong physical fitness to kill one.

If what this young man said was true...

That could simply be called a human killing machine!

Wang Jiafu's gaze changed instantly. He gave a look to the guard beside him, and the other person immediately stepped forward.

"Whether it's true or false isn't for you to say. If you have the ability, spar with me."

This guard came from the army and was very good at fighting.

As soon as the man finished speaking, Su Han stood up and nodded.

The next second, he rushed forward violently. Wang Jiafu didn't see Su Han's movements clearly. With a bang, the guard who had just provoked him took a heavy punch and fell face-first onto the ground.

So fast!

Wang Jiafu's eyes were full of admiration.

Su Han himself was very good at fighting. Plus, the system blocked his pain, so he wouldn't be timid when fighting.

The fight just now was mostly for show.

"Can you believe me now, Chief Wang?" Su Han smiled slightly.

"Of course, of course." Wang Jiafu laughed heartily. "I'm not much older than you, so just call me Brother. Quickly take A-Han to his accommodation and arrange it properly."

The second half of the sentence was said to the guard lying on the ground.

The guard stood up, grimacing, rubbed his butt, and said, "Follow me."

Xiwang Base hadn't been established for long, and the regulations in various aspects were not yet perfect.

The only thing that could prove one was a survivor of Xiwang Base was a small ID card.

The guard brought Su Han to an independent small villa near the city center. It wasn't large, but it had two floors and a yard, which could be considered a very superior place to live.

Wang Jiafu really valued him.

"The real currency circulating in The Apocalypse now is the crystal core inside a zombie's head. Your accommodation has been arranged, but if you want to eat your fill, you still have to go out and collect supplies."

Su Han listened to the bunch of rules the guard said, nodded as if he understood, and then grinned, showing a smile. "Thanks, Brother. I understand."

The guard was dazzled by this smile, and he felt a sigh in his heart.

A silly kid won't last long in The Apocalypse.

After the guard left, Su Han took the Primary Zombie crystal core to the largest trading center in Xiwang Base and exchanged it for some medicine and water.

Immediately after, he ran away under the pretext of going out of the city to collect supplies.

He was really afraid that if he didn't watch him, the male lead would burn his brain out.

He returned to the room where Shen Chengyin was placed. The man hadn't woken up yet; he was lying stiffly on the bed with his brows tightly furrowed.

Su Han fed Shen Chengyin the medicine and sat by the bed to sort out the plot.

In the Zombie Tide that Xiwang Base had just experienced, the reason Shen Chengyin was seriously injured was that when the zombies broke in, he was pierced through the chest by a Primary Zombie's claw while protecting another Water-type Ability User in the base.

It was clearly a heroic deed of saving someone, but what later reached the ears of other survivors was that Shen Chengyin was treacherous and fled alone, abandoning the injured Ability User.

Fortunately, Deputy Chief Wang arrived in time, and that Water-type Ability User was safe.

Something must have gone wrong in the middle, and it was most likely Wang Jiafu's doing.

【Huh, the male lead's hand seems to have moved.】 The system suddenly spoke.

Su Han turned his head and stared at Shen Chengyin.

The man's eyes were tightly closed, and there was no sign of him waking up at all.

"He didn't wake up. You scared me." Su Han muttered.

If Shen Chengyin woke up at this time, he really wouldn't know how to explain his identity.

He hoped that Shen Chengyin would wake up while he was away, so that when they met, Su Han could claim to be a survivor of Xiwang Base who happened to meet him while searching for supplies here.

As the sky grew late, Su Han had to go back.

Before leaving, he covered Shen Chengyin with the quilt and tucked in the corners.

On the way back, Su Han killed a few ordinary zombies and returned to the base with the crystal cores.

Normal people needed to have their bodies checked for wounds before entering the base, but Ability Users only gained their abilities because they were infected with the zombie virus, so they would not be infected a second time.

Su Han also benefited from this and went in without even taking off his clothes.

He returned to his accommodation, wiped his face with water, and saw himself in the mirror for the first time.

In the mirror was a handsome young man with soft and fluffy light brown hair and beautiful eyes.

Su Han's heart skipped a beat.

With this appearance, he estimated that countless people would covet his ass.

The system saw Su Han's worry and couldn't help but remind him: 【Don't worry, Wang Jiafu is a proper heterosexual.】

"It has nothing to do with being gay or straight. If a person is driven crazy by desire, they can do anything."

Su Han lay on the sofa and ate two bites of a dry bun, which was food he had exchanged for with zombie crystal cores.

If he wanted to figure out how Wang Jiafu framed Shen Chengyin, he had to start with the Water-type Ability User whom Shen Chengyin had saved back then.

The next day, Su Han used the excuse of wanting to form a team to inquire about news in the Mission Hall.

He had a few extra crystal cores in his hand, and when he stuffed them into the hands of a few soldiers, the other party opened up as if they had seen their own father.

"Deputy Chief Wang... no, Chief Wang is the great benefactor of our Xiwang Base. If it weren't for him, our base wouldn't have developed so well."

Su Han pretended to be ignorant and fished for information: "Chief Wang is really amazing. Did he create this Xiwang Base single-handedly?"

The soldier's face changed, and he waved his hand, "No, our base had a chief before, but he died, and he deserved it."

The soldier's companion heard him mention Shen Chengyin and immediately gathered around, shouting with righteous indignation:

"Exactly, he deserved to die."

"Who told him to not care about our lives at all and greedily put the base's supplies into his space."

"Exactly, if it weren't for Deputy Chief Wang, we would still be kept in the dark."

"Such a person doesn't deserve to be a chief at all; he deserves to die!"

"And there was the Zombie Tide not long ago; he abandoned the wounded and fled alone. It's really disgusting."

There were many people in the Mission Hall, and everyone started shouting along.

Su Han felt cold in his heart.

It wasn't written like this in the book at all. Shen Chengyin put the base's supplies into his space under Wang Jiafu's suggestion in order to keep the food from spoiling.

Now he was being bitten back, and it had become evidence for Wang Jiafu to frame him.

The louder these people shouted, the colder Su Han felt. He didn't understand how Shen Chengyin, who thought about protecting survivors until his death, ended up with such an outcome.

In the midst of the noise, Su Han glanced and saw a thin young man in the corner of the Mission Hall who kept his head down, trembling all over.

He did not participate in the accusations against Shen Chengyin; instead, he seemed... very sad?
