Chapter 11: Wang Hongxia’s Malice
Page (1/3)
The harvest had been sorted and stored.
Ye Feng was finally free for the moment.
He thought of some of the powerful ability users from his previous life.
“Among ability users of the same rank, I fear no one!”
“With the Chaos Divine Thunder, I can kill them all in an instant!”
“But even without the Chaos Divine Thunder… with my enhanced strength and speed, my swordsmanship, the Blazing Battle Sword, and the Supreme God Ring, I can still crush most ability users!”
Ye Feng stroked his chin, his gaze flickering.
“To hunt zombies and grow stronger by obtaining crystal cores, I’ll have to wait another two days!”
“Some of the opportunities I remember from my previous life will also begin appearing one after another in two days.”
Just then, his phone vibrated softly.
When he picked it up, he saw a message from Lin Xiaoxiao urging him to hurry.
“That little girl… She really can’t wait any longer!”
The corners of Ye Feng’s lips curled slightly.
He took a shower, pulled out his most handsome outfit, and dressed carefully.
Then he dug out a shopping bag and filled it with ham, milk, and bread.
Once everything was ready, Ye Feng picked up the food and left his apartment, heading upstairs.
In the stairwell, blood mist drifted everywhere, and zombies wandered about in twos and threes.
Soon, several zombies heard Ye Feng’s footsteps. They bared their teeth, brandished their claws, and lunged at him.
Ye Feng kicked them away and continued toward the stairs.
When he reached the fifteenth floor, more zombies blocked his path…
Ye Feng kicked them away again.
Ever since he had become immune to zombie infection, he no longer needed to be especially cautious.
Just as Ye Feng was beating back the zombies, a woman’s voice suddenly came from one of the apartments on the fifteenth floor.
“Who is that? Is someone outside?”
Ye Feng did not answer. He simply slapped away another zombie that lunged at him.
Bang!
The zombie crashed to the floor.
The commotion outside made the woman excited.
Her name was Wang Hongxia, and she lived one floor above Ye Feng.
Through the peephole, Wang Hongxia looked outside. She saw no one, but she did see a zombie lying on the floor, moaning continuously. She was even more startled.
“Who’s outside? Are you fighting the zombies?”
“Are you an ability user? Or do you have some useful weapon?”
“Do you have food? Big Sister here has been out of provisions for a long time. Could you spare me something to eat?”
Ye Feng’s heart stirred.
“Wang Hongxia?”
As neighbors living one floor apart, the two of them had known each other even before the apocalypse.
Wang Hongxia was in her thirties, a fairly attractive married woman. Her husband was an ordinary office worker.

The reason Ye Feng had dealings with her was that she had a seven-year-old son who was extremely irritating.
The brat was always running around the apartment, making noise, frequently screaming at the top of his lungs, and refusing to settle down even in the middle of the night.
Ye Feng had spoken with Wang Hongxia many times, but it had achieved nothing.
Once, when Ye Feng went to her door to reason with her, Wang Hongxia had instead given him a thorough scolding.
“You’re so narrow-minded!”
“Why are you arguing with a child?”
“And so on…”
Ye Feng had been furious and called the police on the spot.
In the end, however, the matter was merely mediated, and the brat continued doing whatever he pleased.
Because of this, Ye Feng had often been criticized by his girlfriend, Li Yating.
After the apocalypse descended and Ye Feng became an ability user, Wang Hongxia had already fallen into depravity. For the price of a single slice of bread, she could…
Ye Feng loved his girlfriend deeply and had no interest in her.
…
Inside the apartment, Wang Hongxia grew anxious when Ye Feng failed to respond.
“Please, you can’t just stand by and watch me die! Don’t you know that with great power comes great responsibility?”
“I have a seven-year-old son! If you don’t save me, we’ll both die!”
“If you refuse to help me, you’ll be a murderer!”
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and let out a mocking laugh.
“Wang Hongxia, you’re still as skilled as ever at using moral blackmail.”
Inside the apartment, Wang Hongxia fell silent, her eyes filled with uncertainty.
“You… You’re Ye Feng from downstairs?”
Ye Feng replied calmly, “That’s right.”
At once, Wang Hongxia’s heart sank.
It was really him?
Why did it have to be him?
She had offended Ye Feng terribly before. Would he still save her?
What was she supposed to do?
Inside the apartment, Wang Hongxia paced anxiously in circles.
She had to apologize!
He was just a weak, inexperienced young man. If she softened her tone and said a few pleasant things, it should not be difficult to placate him… right?
Wang Hongxia took a deep breath and spoke in a coquettish voice.
“Ye Feng, I was wrong before!”
“I shouldn’t have treated you that way. I sincerely apologize.”
Her voice softened further.
“Ye Feng, I’m sorry! Please forgive me, will you?”
“You must have food outside. Could you give me a little? Dongdong and I are starving!”
Ye Feng was taken aback. Wang Hongxia really knew how to bend when necessary.
Still, he looked down on her.
Compared with Lin Xiaoxiao, she was in an entirely different league.

Ye Feng said coldly, “I don’t accept your apology!”
“And besides, you’re no longer young. Stop calling yourself ‘Big Sister’ all the time. Isn’t it disgusting?”
“I have food, but I’m not giving any to you. I’d sooner feed it to a dog.”
After unleashing that rapid-fire barrage, Ye Feng felt thoroughly refreshed. He turned and walked away.
Save her? Not a chance.
The fact that he had not kicked her while she was down was proof enough of his kindness.
Inside the apartment, Wang Hongxia was filled with despair.
Her eyes brimmed with venom as she screamed, “Ye Feng, come back here! You’re not even human!”
“What are you showing off for?”
“If you have food, why won’t you save me?”
At her side, her son Dongdong also began crying and throwing a tantrum.
“Mommy, I’m hungry! I want potato chips! I want a hamburger…”
The noise irritated Wang Hongxia to the point of madness. She gritted her teeth.
“Good boy, Dongdong. There’ll be potato chips, and there’ll be hamburgers too…”
The brat continued crying without pause.
“No! I want them now…”
“Shut up!”
On the stairs, Ye Feng stopped.
Hostile Intent Detection activated!
The target was Wang Hongxia.
In other words, Wang Hongxia had now developed malicious intent toward him.
Ye Feng gave a playful smile.
So this was what it felt like when Hostile Intent Detection activated…
Wang Hongxia’s malice was red.
Within his perception, it stood out vividly, like a firefly in the night sky.
What should he do with it?
His thoughts raced, and Ye Feng soon reached a decision.
He turned around and walked back to Wang Hongxia’s door.
Then he knocked.
Bang, bang, bang!
“Wang Hongxia, I’m willing to make a deal with you… Open the door and let’s talk.”
“You don’t want your child to starve to death, do you…”
