“So this guy is here to steal food?”\n

Hou Ying and Qiao Daye, who rushed back, had the impulse to twitch the corners of their mouths after hearing the whole story. Hou Ying glanced at Dongfang Bai who still had a [life is loveless] face, and poked Ji Yao, “Is this your idol?”\n

Ji Yao was embarrassed and pulled out a smiling face, “The face is still beautiful.” The brain-dead fan¹ who sees the idol’s ugliness also has the impulse to erase their memory.\n

Hou Ying looked at Gongsun Jing and said, “Since he is not malicious, Gongsun, please treat him.”\n

Gongsun Jing reluctantly wasted her healing power on this guy who made her very unhappy. After the pain left his body, Dongfang Bai was like a withered flower regaining its vitality. His body and expression slowly relaxed and his face recovered its ruddy color. His sleeping face has a soul-stirring beauty. When Gongsun Jing withdrew her hand, he squirmed in his sleep, quickly fumbled for a pillow, and hugged it in his arms. No one knows what kind of dreams he had and a happy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.\n</ins>\n\nJi Yao: My idol is holding my pillow! I really want to be that pillow!!\n

Hou Ying left behind the nymphomaniac chicken² and told them what he and Qiao Daye had learned before.\n

Liu Zhan said, “In this way, the two teams of survivors in Quanshi have a great conflict of interest with each other, and they should have enough supplies and sources of materials.”\n

Hou Ying replied, “Now it’s almost 40 degrees outside. When the temperature drops in the afternoon, Lao Er and I will go and see what happens.”\n

Liu Zhan nodded and said, “It’s better for Xuanyuan to work with you and let Lao Er be with me. Let’s split up to explore how deep the water here can be³. I heard what you said. It’s definitely not normal for the people at the Public Security Bureau to be so submissive. How about letting me go there to see what the hell they’re doing and you go to the church, Brother Hou?”\n

“Okay. Listening to their tone, the ability users on the church side should be quite powerful. Maybe there are already level 2 ability users there. It’s safer to have Xuanyuan.”\n

Everyone discussed and finalized their plans for the afternoon.\n

Before they set out, Dongfang Bai woke up. He opened his mouth and yelled “Xiao Liu”—this was his celebrity assistant before the end of the world. Liu Zhan glanced at him reflexively. Dongfang Bai grunted twice and then suddenly woke up. He turned over and sat up, waking up Wang Hehe who was taking a nap.\n

“Who are you?!”\n

He jumped up in shock and looked at the crowd defensively. He had a posture that the wicked would sue first⁴, but he then soon remembered something, and his face turned pale, “Big brothers and sister, you are still there… That, I really didn’t mean it…” As he said this, he realized that he didn’t feel any pain in his body. He immediately touched his chest and back, shook his hands and leg, making sure that he was alright. He was pleasantly surprised and said, “I didn’t expect my resilience to evolve, hahaha.”\n</ins>\n\nGongsun Jing rolled her eyes, “Evolve a ghost. My old lady cured you. Remember to pay me the medical expenses!”\n

When Dongfang Bai heard her voice, he couldn’t help trembling all over. Looking at her, his proud face suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face. His expression was too rich.\n

“Mr. Dongfang, right? Nice to meet you.” Hou Ying said with a standard smile, “My surname is Hou. These are my teammates. We’ll discuss the medical expenses, compensation for hurting our teammates, and mental damage later. Can you tell us what you know? Which survivor team are you from?”\n

Dongfang Bai subconsciously squinted his eyes to look at Hou Ying, as if he had some vision problems. He pondered for a moment. He felt that this person was not as savage as those who came up and broke his bones, so he walked over to Hou Ying, sat next to him, and said, “Survivor team? Are you talking about He Daqing and Chen Yong? I’m not in the same group with them.”\n

“Oh, then you are…”\n

Dongfang Bai coughed and interrupted, “I’m alone now. I want to ask where you come from and where you’re going? I want to go to the capital. Is it convenient to go with you?”\n

Hou Ying was surprised, “You want to go with us?”\n

Dongfang Bai’s expression brightened, “Are you really going to the capital? Great!”\n

Hou Ying looked at him, “I heard that Mr. Dongfang has wings and can fly. Why not go there by yourself?”\n

“…I have a bad sense of direction.” It was a bit embarrassing to say that he didn’t know the road. And when he heard the words “wings”, Dongfang Bai’s expression became a little distorted. But he quickly recovered his impeccable signature smiley face and said, “No need to call me Mr. Dongfang, Boss Hou can just call me Xiaobai.”\n</ins>\n\nIn the final analysis, he’s the one who climbed over, rolled, and sat in the first-line superstar position in the entertainment industry. In such a few words, Dongfang Bai has realized that the person talking to him is very important in this team.\n

Hou Ying looked at the crowd and saw that they didn’t express their opinions. He segued, “Our goal is not the capital for the time being. If Mr. Xiaobai is in a hurry, you should still—” \n

“No rush, no rush!” Dongfang Bai immediately said, “Take me with you, please~”\n

Dongfang Bai showed a begging expression. He’s really worthy of being hailed as the film emperor. His pitiful appearance is very penetrating and difficult to refuse. Hou Ying saw Ji Yao staring at Dongfang Bai with bright eyes and felt a headache. He said, “If Mr. Xiaobai said so then I won’t hide it from you. We can let you join, but before that, you should be honest with us. I can’t let a person with ulterior motives enter our team. Mr. Xiaobai should understand what I mean?”\n

Dongfang Bai heard that he didn’t let him explain his ability and measure his value as soon as he started, but let them be honest with each other. Feeling a good impression in his heart, he said instantly, “Of course, I promise to say everything I know!” He put up four fingers in an “oath”.\n

In the following recounting, Dongfang Bai seemed to meet his relatives and described his tragic experience in the past three months.\n

When the end of the world came, Dongfang Bai was shooting a new movie in the film and television city near Quanshi. That day, the crew worked overtime to shoot the night scenes on the hillside. The heroine was the first to go crazy, and then the whole crew was messed up. He had just finished the play and was ready to go back to bed in the RV when he almost got bitten. In the end, he went through a lot of difficulties and dangers before he survived. As for the origin of his pair of wings, he didn’t describe it as vividly as those thrilling experiences in passing but simply said that he accidentally ate the white dove of the crew and ended up growing this pair of wings.\n

Dongfang Bai’s desire to perform is inherent in his body. When describing an event, it is like a surging river. Jiang Tao and the others tried to interrupt him several times to let him talk about the key points, but after two attempts, they found that they’re completely unsuccessful so they had to give up. \n

Finally, Dongfang Bai talked about the two groups of survivors in Quanshi, “About a month ago, the survivor base in the South sent helicopters to rescue the survivors. They were arrogant people from the Yangtze River Base. Most of the survivors followed, leaving only He Daqing and Chen Yong’s people. There are about two hundred people on both sides.”\n

Yangtze River Base?\n

Several people asked about the origin of this base, but Dongfang Bai knew very little. But being able to send helicopters to rescue survivors shows that the base is very rich in materials. Most people are willing to find such organizations. Why are He Daqing and Chen Yong unwilling?\n

Hearing their questions, Dongfang Bai snorted, “He Daqing wants to be the emperor of the earth. Hearing that there are many ability users there, he doesn’t want to go and fight others. He won’t let the people under his hands go if he doesn’t go. Of course, many people ran away. He also wanted to destroy the planes and leave the survivors behind. However, the people from the Yangtze River Base weren’t vegetarians⁵. After a fight with him, together with the survivors who were willing to go with them, they never came here again.”\n

“But He Daqing is very powerful. He’s a lightning ability user. Anyone who didn’t have time to leave and refused to obey him was electrocuted by him. His team is full of ability users, but he doesn’t accept ability users who were women.”\n

Then when he talked about Chen Yong, his nice eyebrows frowned and he said in disgust, “Chen Yong is a psycho, old goat!⁶ While He Daqing was fighting with the people from the Yangtze River Base, he took many female survivors and hid them. They also bewitched those ability users and ordinary people who wanted to leave, saying that when they go to the Yangtze River Base, they’re the small minions that’ll be pushed out to die—the Yangtze River Base was so anxious to recruit people, it seemed that when the temperature changed, they were besieged by zombies and many people died. Many people were tricked by Chen Yong to stay. And for everyone who stayed, he gave each of them a woman.” \n

There were many women who were snatched by Chen Yong, and there is still surplus after distribution. These people are “public property” and belong to Chen Yong. When he’s happy, anyone can play with them and let people have an impromptu performance.\n</ins>\n\n“Chen Yong advocates polygamy. He is a male chauvinist and an antisocial pig! Those who follow him are not good things!” Thinking of some scenes, Dongfang Bai still feels disgusted. He said to everyone, “Those women are also very pitiful. But Chen Yong doesn’t play with women himself, he plays with men. He caught those ordinary men with no abilities and looks good, and shaved their body hair first… It’s really disgusting. Some people who want to commit suicide were pushed into the group of zombies, and he let all ordinary people watch. After a few people were eaten by the zombies, those people dared not resist. However, I suspect that the old thing mustn’t be able to rise up, that’s why he plays SM.”\n

Dongfang Bai thinks he has seen a lot in the circle, but this is the first time he has seen a pervert who removes men’s body hair. Those men not only need to shave their heads, but they also must shave their legs, armpits, and pubic hair cleanly. They’re also not allowed to wear clothes. He wants to enslave these people and cultivate them into something worse than dogs. He calls these people furniture, which is the ornaments in his house.\n

Qiao Daye also told the scene he saw in the kitchen. All the men felt cold between their legs and felt sick by Chen Yong.\n

“Then what ability does he have?”\n

“…Is it a kind of ability that makes people obedient?”\n\n

Translator’s Notes:\n

<ol>脑残粉 [nǎo cán fěn] – An Internet buzzword. Usually refers to those who are extremely obsessed with celebrities and different brands, and pursue so crazy that they lose their personal sanity.\ When I translated that, it says ‘a chick who is crazy about flowers’ XD. I think it’s a metaphor?? Maybe it means how complicated is the situation in that place is, or smth. 恶人先告状 [è rén xiān gào zhuàng] – The villain brought suit against his victims; he who first offends will first complain; the guilty party files the suit first; the villain sues his victim before he himself is prosecuted. 吃素 [chī sù] – abstain from eating meat; avoid eating meat and fish; be a vegetarian. I think it means a person isn’t easy to be bullied?? 色鬼 [sè ɡuǐ] – goat; lecher; satyr; sex maniac. It’s a wordplay. Satyriasis is the condition where a male has an excessive or uncontrollable sexual desire (for women, it’s called nymphomaniac). A satyr is a lustful woodland creature in Greek mythology often depicted as a half-human half-horse but in Roman art they’re half-human and half-goat (idk even know why I explained this, I know you get the joke XD).</ol>\nOkay, I’m going to schedule this update on Sunday (I’m currently editing this on Saturday), and let’s see if it works. If it does, then there will be no more missed updates because something happened to me that day XD.\n\n</ins>\n\n\n\n<hr class="wp-block-separator">
