At the mention of her children, the woman lowered her head and immediately begged the man who spoke, "No…No… Please. Don't touch my children; I promise that this plan will work. It has never once failed me." The poor woman was reduced to the point of begging; when she thought of how she was once the commander and the strategist behind many military schemes, her face hurt with humiliation.
Just because she was not awakened, she was now the pawn in the hands of these crooked men.
The monkey-faced man snorted. He said with annoyance dripping from his voice, "Shut up. Why do you have so many words to speak? It's good enough that the higher-ups like your children. Why do you have to make things difficult for yourself? Isn't it good that they are willing to make your life easier in exchange for your children?"
Of course, for someone like Lin Jue, there was no trouble at all. He was a low-class, pitiful thug, but then he awakened as an ability user, and he was allowed to join the special team of the army. However, a sparrow would remain a sparrow no matter what changes happened in his life. He would not turn into a phoenix.
Unlike Ai Sanya, who had lived all her life with her head raised in the air, this man would do anything to survive.
When Ai Sanya thought about how her life had turned upside down the second the apocalypse broke all over the world, she wanted to shed tears of blood. Her husband held the position of chief, and they were a happy family of four, but that was until the world suddenly turned upside down and monsters started to pour from all over the corners.
Her husband was bitten by a zombie and turned into a monster himself; Ai Sanya had no other choice but to beat her husband to death with her own hands because she knew that her husband would rather choose to die than to roam around like a monster.
The grief alone was inconsolable enough for Ai Sanya to die, but she knew that she couldn't leave her children behind.
And as the saying goes, once it starts to rain, it pours. There was sudden changes in the army positions all at once. Those who were unscrupulous were fortunate enough to awaken, and thus they pushed out those who were sitting in the higher-ranking position. They used guns as well as their little abilities to scare those who didn't awaken, and people like her who didn't have the time to run could only lower their heads and bow down to their orders.
What made Ai Sanya even more desperate was that one of the higher-ups was her rival. That woman was envious of her all her life, and thus, the second she awakened she targeted Ai Sanya and her children. Her children were taken away from her forcefully, and now they were being used as leverage against her.
If she didn't listen to these people, they would target her son and daughter. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
When Lin Jue saw that she was in a daze, he was really annoyed. If not for the fact that the higher-ups asked him to bring this old woman with him, he would have never brought her along. She was way too nosy and even stopped them from killing people. They finally had full rein and could do anything that they wanted, but with Ai Sanya spouting things like there was no need for them to kill someone, it was really annoying.
"Alright, let's move it. We don't want to waste our time, do we?" After speaking Lin Jue walked over to the closest apartment and then took out the master key that could even open the trickiest locks. Compared to those, these locks were nothing.
He thought that the people inside the apartment might already be knocked unconscious and they could steal the supplies without any worries but who would have thought that the second he opened the door, he would see a tall and sturdy man wearing a mask and waiting for him to come inside?
The man was so strong that even two of him would not be able to take him down. Startled, Lin Jue summoned a small piece of rock and hurled it at the man, and in response, it was taken down with just a flick of a vine that Wan Guofu summoned, causing the monkey-faced man to stagger and run out of the apartment. However, as soon as he stepped out, he saw a bunch of people waiting for him outside.
Lin Jue: "...." This is unfair.
