CHAPTER 1211: CHAPTER 286: I’VE NEVER SEEN THIS KIND OF ZOMBIE BEFORE

"Brother, something’s wrong."

A man hurriedly pushed open the door, looking extremely tense.

"Why are you so flustered?" The burly man with many scars on his face frowned disapprovingly, "Speak, what’s the matter?"

With Guo Kai’s death, the gathering place experienced a long-lost slaughter, all for the ownership of the place, and Qiao Wei ended up as the victor here.

He sat there, contemplating some things when his companion rushed in, interrupting his thoughts.

The man said, "Brother, they’re back."

"Who?"

"Pang Yuan and Ji Qiuyue."

Instantly.

Qiao Wei stood up, looking grave. Being an old-timer of the gathering place, he naturally knew who they were. Once, Lu Hao was the strongest here, suppressing everyone, even Pang Yuan’s team was under them.

With the appearance of Ji Qiuyue, the situation changed dramatically; the dominant Lu Hao met a tragic end, and Pang Yuan and Ji Qiuyue became the ones everyone in the gathering place looked up to.

Later, they left, and it was Guo Kai’s turn, and finally his, Qiao Wei.

"What do they want by coming back?" Various possibilities ran through Qiao Wei’s mind, but none seemed realistic. He couldn’t figure it out, so he decided to adapt as circumstances required.

He wouldn’t engage in conflict with the two of them; his Awakener abilities had reached the fourth stage, but the gap compared to them was vast. Initiating a conflict wasn’t a wise choice.

"Let’s go, take a look outside."

"Okay, brother, should we get the guys ready?"

"No need."

Qiao Wei waved his hand; they were wearing War Armor, with astonishing defense, and no weapon could breach it.

...

Outside.

Ji Qiuyue and Pang Yuan stood by the car.

Their presence here would definitely be noticed by the current occupiers of the gathering place. The Awakeners around exuded a kind of viciousness, their hearts changed by the cruelty of the apocalypse, holding a detached attitude towards life.

In the crowd, Zhu Lei looked at Ji Qiuyue. They had once met Ji Qiuyue, and communicated fairly well, but when Lu Hao appeared, they were afraid and didn’t dare to help Ji Qiuyue, who was in trouble.

In his opinion, Ji Qiuyue was very unwise back then and shouldn’t have challenged Lu Hao’s authority in the gathering place.

But who could have expected the drastic changes, full of twists and turns?

Everything couldn’t go back.

Regret was useless.

Now Zhu Lei was all alone; his companions had died one after another, which was a devastating blow to him.

Ji Qiuyue noticed the familiar gaze, saw Zhu Lei, nodded in greeting, acknowledging the path she chose was her own, and once chosen, there was no turning back.

At this moment.

Qiao Wei appeared, seeing the two wearing War Armor, and walked towards them.

The Awakeners around looked on with schadenfreude, eager to see how Qiao Wei would solve this. Pang Yuan and Ji Qiuyue were not easy to deal with, and now that they were back, his position seemed precarious.

They wouldn’t help Qiao Wei and would love to see him get killed.

Everyone wanted to take over the gathering place, but their ability stages weren’t high enough to compete. If Qiao Wei were killed, they’d have another chance.

"It’s you..."

Pang Yuan was surprised to see Qiao Wei. He remembered him but not deeply. The scars on Qiao Wei’s face had caught his attention before; he seemed like a ruthless person not to be trifled with.

Who would have thought he would keep such a low profile? Even when someone deliberately provoked him, he would just turn and leave, even if he was cursed and insulted behind his back, he wouldn’t engage in conflict.

Some said he was a coward, too afraid to fight back even when insulted like that.

He didn’t agree with that notion.

In the apocalypse, those who know how to endure are terrifying.

"It’s me. Do you have any business by coming back?"

Qiao Wei asked, his gaze calm, without anger, wanting to know Pang Yuan and Ji Qiuyue’s intentions.

Pang Yuan said, "Came back to take a look."

Qiao Wei said, "This isn’t a good place to talk. Let’s go inside."

Pang Yuan looked at Ji Qiuyue, and she nodded silently.

"Okay."

As they left.

The onlooking Awakeners were disappointed.

"That’s it?"

"Damn, I thought there would be a fight."

"Yeah, really disappointing, it would have been great if they fought."

"Shh, keep it down, Qiao Wei’s lackeys are still here."

To this group of apocalypse-hardened Awakeners, battles would excite them, especially the sight of bloodshed, which would make them even more thrilled.

...

Inside the house.

Pang Yuan and Ji Qiuyue sat on the sofa. The War Armor had a bit of bulk and weight. As they settled down, the sofa creaked as if it might break at any moment.

"Are you in charge here now?" Pang Yuan inquired, truly surprised by how things had developed.

Qiao Wei said, "Yes, after you left, Guo Kai was in charge, but he also died outside. The gathering place fell into chaos, as everyone wanted to take over, but in the end, I got it."

"Impressive, I really didn’t see that coming before." Pang Yuan chuckled. They hadn’t been gone long, yet so much had happened, surpassing expectations.

"The harshness of the apocalypse speaks for itself. Anyone who willingly stands out won’t meet a good end, but I just appeared at the right time and took over. Your return was unexpected; if you want this place, I can step back."
