Chapter 71 71: A Man And His Ghouls - Part 2

The moment Chu Feng was going to continue, a white-haired girl stood beside the third of his women, her face pale as blood continued to ooze from her arm with a bite mark; Maria poked the face of the woman, her messy black hair stuck together and filled with sweat, veins bulging in her arms as she looks horrible.

Her blood was not red but a dirty black and gooey substance; she lacked the power or energy to stop her face from being poked by Maria, who looked at her with glowing red eyes.

"This ugly woman is going to die..."

Maria's voice was much clearer as if meeting with Alex again had somehow boosted her regeneration; in truth, she wanted to act wounded to get more of his love but started to grow tired of the annoying voice.

She saw a bit of putrid flesh on the floor, picking it up before spitting on it, then wiping it against the woman's dirty clothes, offering it to the black-haired woman who was turning.

"Eat meat? It's tasty..... I think?" Maria said with an unsure voice, tilting her head.

Instantly after the meat appeared close to the woman, her eyes faintly turned red, her fingers cracking as claws began to form from her nails; she was very close to becoming a complete zombie.

"Himari?" One of Chu Fengs other eastern women shouted before suddenly, the man in question pulled her back.

She looked back with an angry face, scowling at Chu Feng, but he just shrugged and then pointed back at Himari and spoke arrogantly, as if he was trying to teach everyone here the 'truth.'

"She's already infected; it's too far gone, so let's just go enter that village; it seems we're not welcome here, and I want to get myself the class I am destined for!"

'It's stupid; why can't my system give me a damn class, going into some stinking village filled with morons.'

Chu Feng ignored the protesting of the eastern woman, her eyes and face constantly looking back towards her sister, a sense of panic darting around the women and the girl that still kept poking the meat against Himari's lips, watching with a strange smile as the changes got worse each time she did so.

Her eyes were filled with tears; Chu Feng should have taken notice because her affection and loyalty dropped considerably the moment he abandoned her sister; despite promising to protect them both, she was no longer completely under the control of the system, realising the moment her sister got bit, it was to save this bastards ass because he was scared.

'Anyone?! Can't you offer help to my sister... look at her grotesque figure.... please.... any of the gods above save her life...' Ayami asked and prayed for someone to help.

Before she finally looked at the tall and handsome western male, his hands no longer inside the girl's pants, but rather, he was looking at her with a curious face as she saw his lips moving slowly, barely managing to notice what he was saying.

"Shall I save her?"

"Eh?" Ayami gasped before she closed her mouth, not wanting Chu Feng to notice; he was very stubborn and hated his women even speaking to another man as if she would spread her legs just with a simple chat.

Chu Feng noticed her nose and then looked towards Ayami, he was glad she no longer struggled, but he couldn't help the frustration of everything that had happened since meeting that bitch Claire.

None of his system prompts worked for her or those members of her group; they worked on the first night, but suddenly when he came close to [Friendly] territory, all of their values were locked into [Feverent Hatred] at -100 value.

'So stupid... Why? Why are all these women the same? Even the quest difficulties are all marked as Nightmare level SSS difficulty!? Am I not the chosen one?'

"Why did you make noise?" Thinking back to those unpleasant women, he snapped at Ayami, only for her to look down and not respond to him.

In anger, he pushed her away and began walking towards the village faster, his feet kicking away several corpses on the floor, whether zombies or former people.

The blonde woman followed closely behind him, still completely under the effects of his system's mental influence.

Ayami clenched her hands before turning to Alex, only to notice something strange!?

"Why!? She's infected!"

Meanwhile, when Alex saw the girl's pleas to save the infected woman, why would he turn down the chance to gain another faithful vesta? Not only that but the cunt who just insulted him and then ran off? Was this not his gift of forgiveness? Letting Alex have this woman and allowing her to be reborn?

'Wouldn't it be interesting to see his face completely on the day all three are mine? In heart, body, and soul?'

The fact that Alex fully gained his human part didn't mean he would become more compassionate towards his women; humans were intelligent creatures, filled with malice, dark feelings for revenge and interesting ideas.

No longer just thinking of killing to get revenge, Alex thought about using the method of his blood or fluids directly, making her change faster and more dramatic; slowly, he walked past the curious girls who all held their new weapons, marvelled at their new spells and seemed thankful that Alex kept next to nothing from the battle.

He wanted to horde the coins if he was honest; some of the upgrades and things you could buy were expensive; however, right now, he needed to boost the power of all the women, from the weak girl who only used healing wave to Maria who was more powerful them himself when it comes to agility.

The coins were given to Laura, Samantha and Mildred equally, and he said to use them as a group currency, reward those who trained well, helped the camp with a portion of the coins; from now on, the leaders of the ground would collect all coins during hunting, while a small percentage were given on the spot, the rest would be collected and kept by either Alex or Mildred.

Tap...Tap...Tap...

Himari's mind was filled with a daze; since the end of the world, everything was fucked up, she watched her father die to her mother's assault, bitting at his throat as she tore out his flesh with her teeth, that terrifying look on her eyes caused a deep fear to fill Himari whenever facing these monsters, thankfully her sister was able to put their mother to rest, but inside Himari's heart, it was like a broken panel of glass, slowly falling apart.

'Why did these things happen... Mother loved father so dearly...'

They then followed the most horrific 24 hours of her life, forced to push away begging people, lock the doors tightly, and escape as those people smashed their windows and drew many zombies to their homes.

'Without Ayami... I would be dead... or rather, why did I get bitten for that bastard?'

Himari's mind was clear; she remembered meeting Chu Feng by chance with a small group of five males following him; she didn't like him as he only looked at her sister with lewd eyes while he treated Himari like baggage.

But...

'When did I change my thoughts? The next day...? The day after, my sister became weird and said she loved him?'

Strange...

After those brief moments of clarity, she felt as if she was dreaming, scenes of her being naked, throwing herself at that disgusting man, before showering him with praise, saying he was huge, that It felt great, thus losing her first time in a dirty bathroom because her sister was out foraging, the other males allowed to watch from the corner... Disgusting...

'Disgusting... Filthy... Why!? That's not me... That isn't me!'

A strange taste began to fill her lips, believing this to be the moments before death; maybe that's why she broke free of that bastard's control; she could barely make out a white-haired girl with a scar across her neck and pretty red eyes trying to feed her some strange meat. Still, it smelt so delicious, like top-grade beef or freshly baked bread!

Suddenly, it felt like time had stopped; the aching pain in her chest, the tight feeling in her entire body, and all the itching sores slowly stopped as someone appeared before her.

'Who?? God??'

Himari truly believed it to be god, tall with silvery white hair, his body filled with a divine glow; because of her blurry vision, she couldn't notice the sun was rising just behind him, which caused this wonderful scene.

'Has he come to take me away? Is everything over?'

She suddenly felt two gentle but huge hands stroking her cheeks, ignoring the now rotting flesh, her bloody and disgusting sores, his eyes looking towards her with no displeasure, causing her entire being to shudder, when the man who claimed to love them over and over when they were under than strange control, but fled the moment she got a bit to protect him.

This man, this god, gently caressed her disgusting body, stroked her rotting flesh, and made the pain go away; her eyes slowly turned white, and she began to spill their final tears. A sudden deep voice entered her ears, and she almost fell, losing all sensation in her legs as they began to spasm and contort.

'It's over... I'm done for....'

"Do you want to live? I think you are too cute to let die here... Shall I take away your pain, give you everlasting pleasure?"

Not understanding her situation anymore, having lost too much consciousness, yet unable to keep her conscious state anymore either, all there was the strong hand soothing her once again, making her feel warm and safe, and the soft words of a man she knew nothing about.

Only the words "Live" and "Take away your pain." Echoed through her ears, she tried to nod, but her neck just cracked, and even her tears began to turn into a vile black ooze as she felt despair.

'Ah... I am too late even to be saved....'

However, a moment later, she felt a different pain; it was like a burning sun tearing through her body; although the pain made her want to scream out, she could feel that disgusting and putrid corruption melting away each moment.

"I will save you..."

That beautiful voice, filled with kindness and compassion, echoed throughout her mind, bringing her back to reality, her eyes no longer completely white, as they began to change, in her vision was that handsome and 'divine' being from before, yet his deep red eyes were staring into hers less than a centimetre away, his lips covering hers.

In contrast, the taste of iron and something sweet, like honey, filled her mouth as his face pulled away, his red tongue seductively sliding against her as Alex pulled away, causing a sense of euphoria to spread throughout Himari's body before she swallowed the last remainder of the sweet, irony fluid.

"You're going to live... I'll save you," he whispered into her ear, kissing her cheek and forehead before pulling away.

"What is happening?"

"Your body has been purified, although you cannot move yet; over the next 24 hours, you will begin to change, become more beautiful, confident, and immune to the zombie infection."

Alex smiled softly at the young girl's reaction, seeing her happiness despite her current condition. He then leaned forward and wrapped one arm under her shoulder.

At the same time, the other under her knee's lifted her off the floor before he and the group of women all began to follow his back, like a funeral procession, but rather more vibrant, as Maria gave each of the girls a small piece of flesh she found, the girls she liked more got fresh Ghast meat. In contrast, the other girls were given the dirty zombie meat, cleaned with her spit.

It was a strange but positive mood, with the immobile Himari staring at Alex's strange but alluring face as he walked forward, a pensive look with his faint smile.

Ayami, who saw the entire scene, was confused but slowly turned to the village, as she saw quite clearly, her sister seemed to be alive as they walked away; that was enough. If she lived, then there was a chance to meet again.

'They seemed to head towards the Lone Star Campus... I will find time to split from this bastard and meet Himari... I hope she is treated well...'
