Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Chapter 143 The Apocalyptic Boss Arrives (20)

From the moment Ji Xiaosong arrived at the Nanshi base and met Zhou Jianguo for the first time, she felt that he was being somewhat hypocritical.

His son disappeared without a trace after the end times, but he had one day before the end times to search for his son.

The incident that day caused quite a stir; everyone who attended the birthday party knew about Ji Xiaosong's outburst.

Therefore, no matter how hard Ji Xiaosong tries, she can't believe that Zhou Ziheng's interactions with Ji Xiaosong are well-intentioned.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou. I also have a car. I need to check if there are any supplies in the city later. If there are, I need to bring them back to the base, so I won't be going with you."

After politely declining Zhou Jianguo's offer, Ji Xiaosong walked towards her car.

Zhou Jianguo, still wearing that kind smile, got out of the car, strode forward, and gently blocked Ji Xiaosong's path with his hand, his tone sincere yet carrying a hint of undeniable authority:

“Xiao Song, you’re being too polite. Searching for supplies is a big deal. More people means more strength and more security. Besides, if we’re together, we can exchange ideas along the way and maybe even come up with a better search plan.”

He sighed softly, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes: "You know, since the apocalypse, I've been hoping to do more for the base. But I haven't heard from Ziheng, and I feel a void in my heart. Just keep this old man company, and let me feel at ease."

After much persuasion, Ji Xiaosong finally got into the passenger seat of Zhou Jianguo's car.

Throughout the journey, Zhou Jianguo talked about the Nanshi base, and occasionally mentioned his daily life.

"After the apocalypse, I was the only one left in my family. After the acid rain, your Aunt Qin turned into a zombie. The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was her grayish-blue body."

At this point, Zhou Jianguo's expression began to turn dejected.

"After the apocalypse, I donated a lot of my family's assets. Anyway, I'm the only one left in the world, so it doesn't matter whether I live or not."

Ji Xiaosong listened quietly, unaware that Zhou Jianguo had already driven for more than an hour.

Perhaps because she didn't sleep well last night, Ji Xiaosong was a little sleepy.

Her head bobbed up and down. Zhou Jianguo glanced at her, slowed down, and drove more steadily.

As the tires rolled over the broken highway guardrail, Ji Xiaosong suddenly caught a faint whiff of bitter almonds.

Her instincts, honed from years of fighting among hordes of zombies, made her hold her breath instantly, and an ice blade materialized at her fingertips, pressed against Zhou Jianguo's throat.

"You have a cyanide generator hidden in your car?"

Frost spread along the steering wheel. "I'll give you three seconds to explain."

Zhou Jianguo laughed out of character, his wrinkles revealing a hint of madness: "You really are just like Ziheng said... as sensitive to smells as a hyena."

He suddenly jerked the steering wheel, and the SUV roared as it crashed into the abandoned gas station.

Ji Xiaosong's pupils constricted sharply from the massive impact—this was no ordinary car accident!

The impact angle precisely avoided the airbag trigger point; it was clearly a meticulously calculated murder.

The moment the thought of entering the space crossed my mind, I felt a sharp pain in my temples.

"Don't waste your efforts."

Zhou Jianguo wiped the blood from his forehead, a miniature device in his hand flashing with purple arcs of electricity. "Do you know what kind of superpower I have? I have a mutated lightning superpower. An 800 million volt electromagnetic pulse is enough to interrupt your space jump for 0.3 seconds."

Three modified zombies emerged from the shadows of the gas station, their metallic bone claws sizzling.

"You modified it?"

Ji Xiaosong was somewhat incredulous; how could such a situation have occurred so soon after the apocalypse began?

She glanced at the space in her mind's eye; she could actually go in, but she had been distracted by the sudden lightning strike to her temple.

"Heh, of course. After learning that your Ji family had become one of the top experts in the country after the apocalypse, I began various experiments."

Zhou Jianguo glared at Ji Xiaosong, "The day Ziheng was at your house, he went to the basement, right? I went to your house again and found this in the corner of the stairs."

He held up half of the molten wedding ring, trembling, and asked, "Why did he go to your basement, and why did he disappear without a trace?"

Ji Xiaosong didn't want to explain, because she had indeed killed Zhou Ziheng.

However, she didn't regret it, because if Zhou Ziheng hadn't died, her whole family would have died.

Zhou Jianguo suddenly pressed a switch, and the zombie collar lit up red. "These treasures have been injected with your blood sample. Now, go down and reunite with my son! Since you are his fiancée, you should belong to him!"

Ji Xiaosong didn't know how Zhou Jianguo obtained her blood sample; perhaps it was from a medical check-up at the hospital near her home, or something else entirely.

But it's clear that this is true.

Just as the car was about to crash into the gas station, Ji Xiaosong used all her spiritual power to bring the car to a sudden stop.

Zhou Jianguo was not surprised by this.

"A level 10 ability user, indeed powerful. I just wonder if you can be more powerful than the zombie I modified."

The moment the metal claws tore open the car door, Ji Xiaosong rolled out of the passenger seat.

Ice crystals condensed into a Tang sword in his palm, and sparks flew as the blade sliced ​​across the zombie's neck.

Ji Xiaosong frowned, only then realizing that the skeletons of these monsters were coated with liquid metal.

"This was modified with nanomaterials from a military laboratory, and it's a gift specially prepared for your Ice Blade."

Zhou Jianguo sat inside the deformed vehicle frame, grinning maliciously.

Three zombies approached in a triangular formation, making a clicking sound as they turned their eyes.

Ji Xiaosong suddenly realized something and deliberately slowed down his swing of the knife by half a beat. Sure enough, he saw the zombie's metal claws block his attack route in advance.

She then realized with a start that the zombies' bodies were equipped with motion capture devices, which was why these monsters could predict her attack trajectory.

Just then, the zombie on the left suddenly opened its mouth, revealing a miniature syringe embedded in its scarlet tongue.

Ji Xiaosong quickly spun around and leaned back, the needle grazing her nose, gleaming with a faint blue light in the sunlight.

It's obvious that it contains a neurotoxin that can freeze supernatural abilities.

Ji Xiaosong plunged her ice skate into the ground, creating a huge wave of asphalt, and used the momentum to leap onto the roof of the gas station.

Sweat dripped from her chin onto the rusty iron sheet, instantly freezing into ice beads.

At this moment, she finally saw the ghostly blue chip flashing on the back of the zombie's neck.

It turns out that each modified object is a moving electromagnetic node, which together with Zhou Jianguo's pulse device forms a closed-loop force field.

"Did you find it?"

Zhou Jianguo shook the controller on his wrist. "These three children have your blood flowing through their veins. Now this entire area is your superpower restricted zone."

As if to confirm his words, the ice crystal in Ji Xiaosong's palm suddenly shattered.

The electromagnetic pulse felt like countless steel needles piercing into the bone marrow, and three zombies seized the opportunity to pounce from different angles.

Metal claws tore through Ji Xiaosong's combat uniform from her shoulder, splattering blood onto the fuel dispenser's gauge.

The smell of blood stimulated the zombies to roar excitedly. Ji Xiaosong chuckled, and in an instant, her wounds were healed by spiritual power.
