Chapter 11: Rescuing Father
Page 1/3
Speaking of the Devil Fruit, Ao Chen immediately felt fearless. The siblings talked on the phone for a full hour. After hanging up, Ao Xin called his father again, telling him that he was now a power user and would soon return to rescue him, urging him to stay hidden and not take unnecessary risks. Sitting in his office, Ao Kang, anxious and helpless, finally felt reassured. After a brief caution to be careful, he quietly awaited his son's rescue.
When Ao Xin drove the large truck into Bian City, it was already late at night. The streets were filled with aimlessly wandering zombies. Outside, people had either found safe places or already fled the city—or had become part of the undead horde. In the silent night, the roaring truck engine was harsh and grating. Those still too terrified to sleep opened their windows to check outside.
Ao Xin did not go home but headed straight for the central hospital, where hundreds of zombies had gathered. He took a chunk of Moist Meat from his backpack and chewed it heartily, restoring his depleted strength. Accompanied by Meng Kui and Liu Xiyao, he got out of the vehicle, shifted into their human-beast forms, and wrapped electric currents around their baseball bats, slaughtering zombies recklessly. With their overwhelming power, each strike smashed a zombie’s skull open.
Inside the hospital, there was not a single living person to be seen. In the outpatient hall, Ao Xin casually pushed open a door and killed the zombie inside, then told Meng Kui and Liu Xiyao, “You two wait here for me. I’ll get my dad and then we’ll leave.” “Yes, Master!” “Alright, Boss!” Meng Kui, though loyal, found it difficult to say “Master,” so after some thought, he decided to call Ao Xin “Boss.” Ao Xin didn’t mind the titles but found Liu Xiyao’s use of “Master” somewhat awkward. If his parents or sister heard her calling him that, they might misunderstand.
“Um,” Ao Xin said as he was about to leave the room, “Don’t call me ‘Master’ anymore. It sounds weird. If my parents hear that, they’ll think the wrong thing.” Scratching his head, he showed that beneath his decisive and powerful exterior, he was just a normal student. Liu Xiyao replied, “Master, the large number of zombies and the Divine Gifted Space clearly show this crisis is extraordinary. With your strength, you will surely become a king in this apocalypse. Many will call you this, and your parents should get used to it sooner rather than later.”

Hearing her words, Ao Xin couldn’t help but glance sideways. This woman’s intuition was truly sharp! Many still held onto the hope that the government could resolve this crisis, but she already understood this was the true apocalypse. All civilized order would collapse, and a new world order would be established by the strong. This woman herself possessed enormous value and was gradually demonstrating it.
“Alright,” Ao Xin nodded, no longer debating the matter. After stepping out, Meng Kui and Liu Xiyao quickly barricaded the door with numerous tables and chairs, waiting for Ao Xin’s returnI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
