Chapter 13 - Foolish and Naive

Chapter 13: Foolish and Naive “The apocalypse is coming? Zombies everywhere? And these talent evolvers?” An Mian’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Chen Zhong, stuttering, “But… how do you know?”

An Mian could hardly believe her ears because what Chen Zhong had just told her was almost enough to overturn her entire worldview.

The world was about to undergo a massive change? Until now, An Mian hadn’t thought the situation was very serious. This kind and naive girl merely believed there was a severe epidemic.

That’s why the government was so tense. At most, she thought it would take a few months for the vaccines and serums to be developed, and the world would return to peace.

Wasn’t it the same when the T virus first broke out? But Chen Zhong told her that the world would never be peaceful again, that the days of peace were gone forever.

The future world would be filled with zombies and monsters, full of danger! This was hard for An Mian to believe.

Chen Zhong shook his head and said, “You just need to believe me.”

Except for revealing that he was reborn, Chen Zhong had told An Mian almost everything. First, because the apocalypse would officially arrive in a few hours, and An Mian would know then.

Second, because An Mian had always helped him without any consideration, which deeply moved Chen Zhong, he didn’t want to hide anything from her.

An Mian nodded, resting her head on Chen Zhong’s shoulder. “I believe you, Chen Zhong. I believe everything you say! Since that thing is so important to you, I’ll find a way!”

But worry crossed An Mian’s face again as she said anxiously, “If the apocalypse really comes… what about my father…?”

Seeing the worry on An Mian’s face, Chen Zhong patted his chest and smiled, saying, “Don’t worry. Once I get that SSS-level talent seed, those zombies will be nothing. I’ll protect Jiangjing!”

Chen Zhong initially planned to head north to establish a shelter after obtaining the SSS-level talent seed, but now, having almost solidified his relationship with An Mian, he changed his plans.

He will stay in Jiangjing! Although Jiangjing’s situation was dangerous and chaotic, if he could save Jiangjing, the benefits would be enormous.

Jiangjing was a top-tier city with abundant industrial resources, which would be precious in the post-apocalyptic era.

Moreover, An Mian’s father, An Feng, was the governor of Jiangjing, making his control over Jiangjing legitimate.

With Jiangjing as his base and his SSS-level talent, his starting point in this life would be very high. He could even directly contend with the Qin family!

…

Chen Zhong left, knowing that the next few hours would be crucial for changing his fate.

After the apocalypse began, zombies would go berserk, and the safety zone’s defenses would waver. Even the safety zone would see new infections.

He needed to conserve his strength….

After Chen Zhong left, there was another knock on An Mian’s door.

“Who is it?” An Mian opened the door to see Su Ya, looking sorrowful. Her face immediately darkened.

She really disliked Su Ya! It was because of Su Ya that Chen Zhong had been heartbroken for so long!

“What do you want?” An Mian asked coldly.

Su Ya showed a bitter smile and softly said to An Mian, “Can I come in and sit for a while?”

Seeing Su Ya looking so pitiful, An Mian couldn’t help but soften as she was just that kind-hearted….

“Come in.” An Mian let Su Ya into her room and asked, “What do you want?”

Su Ya gave a bitter smile. “You don’t need to be so hostile towards me. Like you, I care about Chen Zhong.”

“Ugh, shameless!” An Mian immediately got angry, pouting. “If you cared about Chen Zhong, why did you dump him for Qin Jun?”

Su Ya’s face showed deep sorrow and pain as she shook her head. “I didn’t want to. You know Qin Jun’s background. He said if I don’t agree to be with him, he’d ruin my father’s career. So I had to….”

An Mian’s eyes widened. She hadn’t expected this, but she quickly asked, “Then why didn’t you let Chen Zhong go at the school gate?”

Su Ya gave a bitter smile. “If I had let Chen Zhong go, with Qin Jun’s temperament, he would have definitely detained him or even killed him.”

“So I said not to let Chen Zhong go, making Qin Jun think I had no feelings for Chen Zhong. That was the only way to protect Chen Zhong….”

An Mian was stunned, but she quickly believed Su Ya. In her view, Qin Jun was a big villain, and what Su Ya said made sense!

An Feng didn’t want An Mian involved in politics, so he had protected her extremely well, leading to An Mian’s innocent and kind-hearted nature.

Looking at Su Ya’s sincere and sorrowful expression, An Mian couldn’t doubt her.

“You’ve suffered…” An Mian started comforting Su Ya instead.

She thought of what Chen Zhong had told her and couldn’t help but share it with Su Ya. After all, in her mind, Su Ya was forced into it and still cared about Chen Zhong, making her a good person.

Since that was the case, she naturally had to tell Su Ya everything, so Su Ya could be prepared.

Hearing An Mian’s words, Su Ya kept a calm expression, but her mind was in turmoil.

The apocalypse? Talent evolvers? SSS-level talent seed??? How did Chen Zhong know this? S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ɴovᴇlꜰirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

But Su Ya knew she had scored a great achievement. With this information, she could definitely regain Qin Jun’s favor!

An Mian asked, “Su Ya, we’re planning to leave tonight. Will you come with us?”

Looking at An Mian’s sincere face, Su Ya only felt disdain.

What a fool!

Despite being the governor’s daughter, An Mian’s foolishness and naivety would drag Chen Zhong to hell!

If she and An Mian switched places, Su Ya believed she would achieve great things! Unfortunately, her background was too humble….

But fortunately, she could still cling to Qin Jun….
