chapter 6

Seeing the dead Zombie on the ground, Shen Ye’s face darkened. He suddenly grabbed my hand and started checking me over.

Seeing that I was unharmed, he finally asked irritably, “How did a Level 2 Zombie get here?”

I smiled, “No idea. I walked over and it was just there. Maybe one of the Team members killed it.”

Shen Ye didn’t suspect anything. After all, in his eyes, I was useless-how could I possibly kill a Level 2 Zombie?

He pinned me against a tree, his tone full of reproach: “Were you trying to leave just now? Wake up. Without me, in this world, what man would bother to protect a useless person like you? You’d end up as someone’s plaything!”

I rolled my eyes, bent my knee, and aimed a kick at his crotch, sneering, “Shen Ye, your PUA tricks don’t work on me. Whether I’m useless or not, I’ll decide that myself.”

Afraid of being kicked, Shen Ye hurriedly let go of me, anger rising in his eyes. “I know you’re unhappy that I’m with your sister. But this isn’t peacetime anymore. Zombies are everywhere, and only the strong survive. A man like me is destined for greatness-I can’t have just one woman by my side. I need to play the field, and I need your sister’s Spatial Ability. So, can’t you be a little more sensible?”

As he spoke, he actually leaned in again, trying to press his lips to mine.

For now, I didn’t want to reveal my Linguistic Sorcery. It was my trump card.

While I wasn’t strong enough, I’d keep a low profile.

Otherwise, in this apocalypse, I’d definitely become a tool for people like Shen Ye to amass wealth and power.

After all, in my world, my biological parents were also Linguistic Sorcerers. Back then, they were kept by the powerful, forced to fulfill all sorts of wishes, and in the end, died from backlash caused by the Power of Linguistic Sorcery.

Thinking of this, my eyes flickered. I opened my mouth and shouted toward the Auditorium, “Sister! Chen Shu! Your Brother Ye wants me to rekindle our old flame and become the Captain’s Wife! Should I say yes?”

Afraid Chen Shu would hear, Shen Ye didn’t dare play his forced love games and fled in panic.

After all, Chen Shu was now the darling of the Team-Shen Ye couldn’t afford to lose her.

I dusted off my clothes to shake off the bad luck and turned to walk back.

Just as I reached the entrance of the Auditorium, I ran into Chen Shu, her hair disheveled, standing in the corridor.

The look she gave me was full of venomous resentment.
