Seduce The Villainess (GL)-Chapter 157 Zombie Empress (88)

(Heurn Province- Fagong City)

(Outskirts- Hidden Location)

Bang!

The sound of a gunshot echoed through the air as the light slowly faded from Bai Yu's eyes.

Even in his final moments he could not believe that this mysterious woman had chosen to kill him without hesitation.

He was one of the strongest ability users in the city… he was…

That was the last thought in the former gang leader's mind as his body crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.

Blood leaked out of the small circular wound in the middle of his forehead.

The bullet had passed cleanly through his skull so one could see pieces of brain matter on the ground beside him.

Qin Lan lowered her weapon and slowly turned in the direction of a certain alleyway where two small faces were staring at her.

She raised up her hand and gestured for them to walk over. Liu Yifei and Gong Li exchanged nervous glances before slowly walking over to the corpse on the ground.

"Sister Lan…" Gong Li quietly whispered as she tried not to look at the body.

"Did you both see how I dealt with him?" Qin Lan coldly spoke as she used her foot to nudge at the corpse.

"Without mercy. For people like him… they will slit your throat at the slightest opportunity. You must be prepared to kill or be killed in this fucked up world."

"Good people do exist, and I am not trying to turn you both into cold blooded killers but when the time comes to be ruthless…"

"I hope that you remember what can happen if you don't pull the trigger."

Qin Lan pointed at a certain direction where Eve was walking over along with the five women who were rescued.

They were incredibly fortunate to have been saved by Qin Lan and Eve since the other women who had fallen into the hands of the blood hound gang weren't so lucky.

Qin Lan's unspoken implication silenced both teenage girls since they were not stupid. They knew that in the end times something death was a mercy.

Women and children always suffered the most when societal order broke down.

"Do you all have some place to go?" Qin Lan gently asked as she put away her gun back in the holster attached to her hip.

"Did… did you do this?" one of the women hesitantly asked.

"Yes… I activated my ability and made them kill each other," Qin Lan plainly replied without sugar-coating her words.

An expression of fear flashed across the face of the woman who asked the question, but another stepped forward and bowed.

The woman who looked to be in her late forties glanced at her young daughter who was still being helped by Eve to walk before opening her mouth,

"Thank you… if it wasn't for you my daughter and I… thank you… thank you…"

Sun Li was the wife of a rich and powerful CEO and yet she bowed her head before Qin Lan and thanked her desperately.

She knew what could have happened to herself and her daughter. Those monsters would have never let them have a peaceful death.

"My name is Sun Li and my daughter's name is Sun Wei… these three are my neighbours Zhou Xun, Tang Wei and Ning Jing…" Sun Li introduced herself and the other women. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

"We are travelling to a dangerous place, but we can drop you off if you have somewhere to go," Qin Lan offered as she extended her hand and helped the woman to her feet.

"My son… he controls one of the bases in the city… we were travelling to his location when…" Sun Li's voice trailed off.

She had been foolish.

If she had only taken a second to consider that an unknown man calling out for help in an apocalypse was slightly suspicious, then perhaps she would not have put her daughter in danger.

Growing up surrounding by wealth and privilege meant that these ladies had very little understanding of how the world really worked.

The original Qin Lan had seen only a few of their type during the end times and unless they developed an ability… their fates were usually quite unpleasant.

"Okay we can drop you off at the base where your son is but that will be the extent of our assistance," Qin Lan firmly spoke.

"But…" one of the women opened her mouth to protest but was silenced by a sharp look thrown her way by Sun Li.

They should be grateful that their rescuers were kind enough to send them to a safe location rather than just leave them here.

"Eve will take you all to the car to get settled. We have a few supplies so only take what you need to recover," Qin Lan softened her tone as she spoke.

"Thank you… we are unable to repay you but thank you…" Sun Li bowed her head a final time and walked towards Eve.

Eve led the way to the car while the five women followed her closely. They were a bit scared of Qin Lan even though she had saved them.

The zombie empress smiled slightly as she wondered what these women would think if they knew that she was a monster.

Qin Lan waited until the group had turned a corner and vanished from her sight before turning to address Liu Yifei.

"Don't activate your ability while they travel with us. Remember that your gift will be highly sought after by many different forces so only use it as a last resort," Qin Lan sternly ordered.

"I know sister Lan," Liu Yifei said seriously as she lowered her fingers.

Truthfully, she was about to offer to give the women some extra food rations from her storage space before Qin Lan gave her a warning.

"Remember to never reveal all of your cards, I told them that I made the gang members kill each other but I didn't say what my ability specifically was…" Qin Lan spoke seriously.

"They do not know the full extent of my gift. Perhaps they will assume that it is a form of mental control, but the unknown will make them wary."

"Humans are afraid of the unknown so use that knowledge to your advantage. Never hesitate to exploit the weaknesses in your opponents."
