Chapter 46: I Allow You to Take Revenge!

The migrant workers standing respectfully beside Meng Kui were also startled when they caught sight of the True Solar Fire.

"So, the rumor that the third Mythical Zoan user is Sister Liu was true!"

Awe and dread gripped them. Both Meng Kui and Liu Xiyao were subordinates of Ao Xin. With a force boasting three Mythical Zoan users, wouldn't they be invincible?

Thinking about how they had recently been taken under their wing, these men felt it was even more worthwhile.

Wasn't this much better than following Feng Kun?

It was a pity that the opportunity to flatter had been snatched away by Zhou Xiang.

Nowadays, whenever Meng Kui needed to ask about something, he went straight to Zhou Xiang. Zhou Xiang's status had quietly risen even higher than Feng Kun's!

Though they cursed the brat inwardly for being shameless, they were consumed with envy.

Yet, since Zhou Xiang had seized the opportunity, all they could do was sigh.

When Liu Xiyao executed someone without hesitation, they realized that this beautiful woman was equally ruthless!

"Did you think that by hiding away, letting men toy with you, and having food and shelter, you would be safe?"

Liu Xiyao said:

"There is zombie virus in the air as well, and it will infect creatures with weak physiques."

"Furthermore, as more zombies are killed and the apocalypse progresses, the concentration of the zombie virus in the air will only grow denser!"

"If you don't cultivate, even if you hide, you will eventually be infected and turn into a zombie!"

Her words sent a stir through the crowd. Not only the women, but the migrant workers as well were thrown into commotion.

These were things they had not known.

In the previous life, it was a long time before anyone discovered this truth.

By that time, however, ninety percent of the world's population had already perished!

"Train your Haki, temper your physique, and become strong! Not only will this give you dignity in the apocalypse, but it will also ensure you survive well!"

Liu Xiyao slowly paced around the group of women:

"You're right, I am the master's plaything! But that is because I had good luck and good judgment! And the master has never once mistreated me!"

"Your luck isn't as good as mine, so the only thing you can rely on is your own perseverance!"

"Grow strong, and at least you will have the choice of which strong man's plaything you become, instead of letting just anyone toy with you as they please!"

"I heard from Meng Kui that some of you are the wives and daughters of the wealthy residents in this villa district, while others were plundered from nearby neighborhoods."

"Your husbands, children, and parents were killed by zombies, or killed by them—don't you want revenge?"

At this moment, the fires of hope finally ignited in the eyes of some women within the crowd.

Meanwhile, the observing migrant workers opened their mouths wide in astonishment.

"Brother Meng, this..."

Relying on his favored status, Zhou Xiang spoke softly to Meng Kui, only to receive a glare in return:

"Shut up!"

Over there, a woman of about twenty looked at Liu Xiyao:

"Can you really let us get our revenge?"

Her gaze then shifted toward the migrant workers, locking onto none other than Zhou Xiang!

Her face twisted into a mask of pure hatred!

Liu Xiyao smiled faintly and said softly:

"I call the shots here, and I will give you all a fair chance at a duel!"

"As long as you are strong enough, under my supervision, you can kill your enemies!"

The young woman asked loudly, "What if I surpass you?"

Liu Xiyao replied, "In this world, the strong are supreme."

"Good!"

The woman stepped forward: "I will fight you!"

Liu Xiyao smiled. "Very well. What about the rest of you?"

She addressed the group of women:

"Fight me, become my subordinates, and I will take care of your meals while giving you the chance to grow stronger! At the same time, you will no longer need to serve these men!"

"If you disagree, I won't force you. You can continue being living toys here."

The women began to whisper among themselves. After a long moment, one of them asked:

"But what if your master wants us to attend to him?"

A flash of displeasure crossed Liu Xiyao's face: "The master hasn't even touched me; would he lower himself to look at you?"

"Of course, if the master truly wants you in his bed, you will have to obey!"

"However, from now on, only the master alone will have the right to force you into such things."

The women whispered among themselves for a while longer until, finally, another young girl stepped forward:

"I am willing to fight as well!"

Once one started, others followed. Young girls and married women stepped forward one after another, until only five remained standing where they were.

"What about you?"

A woman of around thirty bitter-smiled and said:

"Zombies are too terrifying. Fighting is death, and getting infected is also death. I'll just live one day at a time."

The others remained silent, but their stance was essentially the same.

The young girl who had stepped forward first could not help but speak up: "Sister Tang, there are only five of you left, and they have over a hundred people. You're going to die!"

The woman addressed as Sister Tang lowered her head: "That's still better than walking out and getting bitten to death by a zombie."

Liu Xiyao did not pressure them either: "Fine. Everyone has their own aspirations, and I've already said what needs to be said."

She pointed to the first girl who had spoken up and asked, "What is your name?"

"My name is Bai Sisi! I'm nineteen years old!"

Realizing Liu Xiyao was calling upon her, Bai Sisi keenly sensed an opportunity and hastily reported both her name and age.

Liu Xiyao nodded, not bothering to ask what grudge she held against that fellow Zhou Xiang.

Such matters were none of her concern.

"Starting today, you will be my second-in-command!"

Liu Xiyao's words brought immense joy to Bai Sisi, who shouted in response, "Yes!"

"Stand at the front. Starting from you, count off!"

Bai Sisi shouted loudly, "One!"

"Two!"

...

Counting off was something they often did back in their school days, so they were very familiar with it.

"Thirty-one!"

As the counting concluded, Bai Sisi shouted aloud, "Reporting to Sister Liu, there are thirty-one of us in total!"

She had already fully immersed herself in the role of Liu Xiyao's deputy.

Liu Xiyao nodded and said:

"You have lacked exercise for years and have been imprisoned for a long time, so your bodily functions have declined. I will give each of you ten contribution points to exchange for the Armament Haki cultivation method. From now on, all of you, start running laps around the villa district!"

She did not throw these people directly into battle; that would be no different from sending them to their deaths.

After making sure they all added her as a friend, she transferred ten contribution points to each of them.

The women accepted them in astonishment.

Following this mysterious woman didn't seem like such a bad choice after all.

Nearby, seeing that the women had already begun lining up to run after exchanging for Armament Haki, Zhou Xiang finally dared to speak:

"Brother Meng, are they really going to let them hunt us down for revenge?"

Not a single one of them had clean hands, and if a vendetta really took place, they genuinely worried they might be beaten to death.

Meng Kui shot him a sideways glance: "Scared?"

"I am scared, Brother Meng! You saw how vicious that young woman's look was; she really wants to kill me!"

Zhou Xiang felt like crying. Who could have foreseen that these imprisoned women would ever make a comeback?

Meng Kui stated, "As long as you stay stronger than them, what is there to fear about revenge?"

"Stop standing around! Everyone, follow me out to hunt zombies!"

A chorus of bitter faces met this order as the migrant workers, too cowed to speak, picked up their various weapons and followed Meng Kui out of the villa district.
