Arc 4: Chapter 2

Meng Mingqian had no time to react when a sudden flying white mass hit him to the ground. The momentum even made him roll on the ground several times.

The crowd looked over, stupefied, at the giant white wolf on top of Meng Mingqian that was twice as big as a normal wolf. Its original white fur was now dusty and its pair of ice blue pupils were tinged with a threatening red. It growled lowly and everyone subconsciously took a step away.

“A wolf?! How can there be wolves in our school?” A boy asked out loud and then quickly covered his mouth. He was afraid the wolf would hear him and suddenly rush over to eat him.

Lin Yuan was driven by his animal instincts to shake out his fur after rolling on the ground. And then he tried to wipe his nose with his claws.

So stinky, blegh 

The smell of rotting meat and blood from the outside was now mixed with the smells from the convenience store. It smelled sour, spicy, sweaty, and there was even the smell of poop.

AHHH, I’m going to die of the stink!

Lin Yuan’s nerves were stretched taught from his discomfort and he couldn’t help growling a few times. The people around were even more scared now.

Lin Yuan looked around and finally saw Lu Ye. His eyes immediately lit up and he started walking over.

Lu Ye saw that the wolf was coming towards him. His expression seemed the same as usual, but his fists clenched as he tried not to show the fear in his heart. He knew that even if he ran away, he would not be able to escape from the beast. 

The others who were not the wolf’s target started murmuring: “The wolf seems to be staring at Lu Ye? Should we help him?”

“How would we help? Wolves are not like zombies who we can just hit on the head. They’re predators okay? Hunting is natural to them and they can bite off your head before you can even react. Go if you’re not afraid of death. Anyways, I am afraid.”

But this crowd all knew in their hearts that although this wolf was bigger than normal wolves, if they all attacked together they would definitely be able to take it down. But who could be sure that in the process they wouldn’t get hurt? Since the wolf was targeting Lu Ye, then let him solve it himself. They could sacrifice one person and save everyone else, which was worth it.

Lin Yuan walked in front of Lu Ye and felt that the other person was too tall and he couldn’t see his face clearly. He waved his paws to Lu Ye and howled: Husband, squat down~

With this one howl, everyone felt cold sweat run down their backs in fear that the wolf would suddenly start attacking. 

For some reason, Lu Ye thought that there was some meaning behind the wolf waving its claws, or did he see it wrong?

Lin Yuan saw that Lu Ye had no reaction and got a headache because he couldn’t talk in this wolf body. When could he change back into a human? How can he communicate with his husband ah?

Head hurts. 

Lin Yuan could only lean forward and bite Lu Ye’s pants and drag him downwards.

Husband, squat down, squat down ya~

Lu Ye almost stopped breathing when the wolf chomped down. But then he noticed that it was only biting his clothes and was trying to drag him downwards. Seemed like it wanted him to squat down. 

The young man didn’t know if he guessed correctly, and his eyes flashed with uncertainty. He decided to ask tentatively: “You… want me to squat down?”

After he asked, Lu Ye suddenly felt that he might’ve gone crazy? He was actually talking to a wolf.

Lin Yuan realized that Lu Ye had understood his actions and was happy enough to fly. He circled in place uncontrollably and happily wagged his tail and nodded: “Woo~”

Yes!

Lu Ye looked at the wolf’s inflexible tail and had some doubts. This wolf could actually understand what he said. And also wanted him to squat down.

It's fine, at least he wouldn’t be eaten. 

The young man squatted down and Lin Yuan finally got to see Lu Ye’s face. Although with the animal’s sight he couldn’t perceive most of the colors, he could still tell that his husband was very handsome.

In a short period of time, Lu Ye seemed to have become more haggard. But it still didn't diminish his cold beauty and elegance. Because he had thinned, his features were more prominent and defined, and his eyes seemed darker and deeper. His expression was quite indifferent and cold, like a stagnant pool.

Lin Yuan stared at Lu Ye and his eyes were practically shooting out hearts. 

Lin Yuan had already thought that his husband was super good looking when he read the plot, but now when he saw it in person, his husband was even more good looking~

Lin Yuan excitedly rubbed against Lu Ye. Husband~ Husband~

Lu Ye was a little shocked by the wolf’s friendly actions. He even questioned, was this really a wolf? How come it seemed more like a big dog? And even more like a dog that he personally raised.

In the midst of his rubbing, Lin Yuan suddenly remembered that his husband had no memories of him right now. With him acting so familiar at the start, would Lu Ye think that he was not reserved?

But…… But this was his husband ah!

Lin Yuan only hesitated for a second before he decided not to care. Whatever happens will happen. 

He used his paws to pat himself, and then patted Lu Ye. He howled: Husband, come with me ya~ I’ll take care of you ya~

Strangely, Lu Ye understood the wolf’s meaning. He tentatively spoke again: “You… want me to go with you?”

Lin Yuan nodded and howled: En en~ come with me~

Lu Ye’s dark pupils flashed. He looked past the white wolf in front of him, and his sight landed on the people he once called his companions. The vengeful thoughts in his heart were ready to move, like roaring currents.

He didn’t know what this wolf wanted to do to him, but he didn’t fear death.

At the end of the world, where misfortunes and fortunes were unpredictable and life and death were uncertain, if one wanted to take revenge on someone, it was best to take revenge on the spot. No one was sure if they could meet their enemies again later.

   【Di! Host, please pay attention. The villain’s blackening value has risen to 42%.】

Lin Yuan was dumbfounded. He looked at Lu Ye in confusion. Did his husband not want to go with him? Is that why the blackening value would rise? But why?

521 sensed Lin Yuan’s thoughts and reflected hard: “Senior! You’re a wolf right now! Wolves are predatory beasts ah! Humans are naturally scared of wolves. Your husband must feel that your appearance is too fierce so he is scared.”

Lin Yuan felt that 521 made sense. However, he had to take his husband away from here. This matter was nonnegotiable.

Lu Ye saw those people with sick and sinister smiles, like evil spirits covered with dark shadows and death. He asked: “This wolf wants me to leave with it, what do you think? Should I?”

Someone in the crowd immediately shouted: “Go! Quickly go far away! Don’t harm us!”

Lu Ye glanced at that person and said coldly: “Harming you? Why do you think so? Since it’s like this, then why should I leave? We should all get friendly with this wolf together.”

That person was anxious to death: “You……”

Before he could continue, a blood curling roar erupted.

Lin Yuan roared: Classmate! You must be bullying my husband!

That person was just an ordinary person and he immediately went weak and trembled in fear.

While Lin Yuan's attention was distracted, Meng Mingqian secretly took out a few knives. Their super powers were effective against zombies, but weapons were more useful and lethal to deal with beasts.

Meng Mingqian slowly looked at Lu Ye, took a few deep breaths to calm his mind, and said with pleading in his voice: "Brother Lu, I know you’re unhappy, but it’s difficult for everyone. Who doesn't want to live? Let’s compromise, you leave and take a quarter of what's in the supermarket. Otherwise, if you really want a confrontation, it won’t be difficult for us seven grown men to kill a wolf."

When Lin Yuan heard that they wanted to gang up and kill himself, he instantly exploded in anger.

He turned around and assumed an offensive posture, roaring angrily: Who are you going to kill, you ****** who shares his lover with three other men!!

In the plot, Meng Mingqian was Ruan Qing’s first man. And then there appeared the second, third, and fourth man. So this insult was very on point.

Meng Mingqian's expression changed when he saw the wolf’s anger, as if he was now facing a formidable enemy. He held the knife tightly in one hand and was ready to use his super power with the other.

Lu Ye lowered his eyes quietly and glanced at Lin Yuan. Sure enough, this wolf could understand human speech.

“Meng Mingqian, this wolf can probably understand what we are saying. Although it’s not difficult for seven adult men to kill a wolf, it’s also not difficult for a wild beast to kill its prey.” t/n meaning Lu Ye could ask Lin Yuan to go attack people

Meng Mingqian understood the implication of Lu Ye's words. His face darkened and he asked, "Lu Ye, what do you want to do?"

Lu Ye lightly smiled and said with malice: “I want a third of the food and water.”

Someone scoffed: “Can you even carry a third?”

Lu Ye’s eyes darkened: “That’s my business.”

Although there were four power users in Meng Mingqian's group, they were all young and afraid of death. They could indeed kill this giant wolf using all their strength, but who was willing to do so?

None of them were willing.

In addition, Lu Ye's request was very clever, one third did not touch their bottom line.

Lu Ye originally planned to fill his own bag and then burn the rest, but no one expected that as soon as the resources were taken out, the wolf walked over, raised his paw and touched them, and the things disappeared on the spot.

Everyone was shocked.

“It has a space! This wolf has a super power?!”

A space power was very useful in the apocalypse.

Lu Ye was also stunned for a moment, this wolf actually had super powers.

Lin Yuan had already stored enough stuff in his space. After putting the food and water into the storage ring, he howled to Lu Ye: Husband, let's go~

Lu Ye again seemed to understand the wolf’s meaning and left with the wolf without looking back.

There were many zombies wandering around the school, but Lin Yuan had a very good nose and led Lu Ye to avoid all the zombies and walked to the school gate.

After that, Lin Yuan didn't know the road anymore, so he bumped Lu Ye’s hand with his head.

Lu Ye was still wary of Lin Yuan. As soon as the wolf touched his hand, he quickly avoided it. But then, he felt he was making a fuss out of nothing. From what he had seen, the wolf probably wouldn't kill him for the time being.

He squatted down and asked the wolf: “What do you want to do?”

Lin Yuan’s wolf claws couldn’t write Chinese characters, so he could only try to scribble pinyin. t/n pinyin: the standard system of romanized spelling for transliterating Chinese.

lao gong

Lu Ye felt this wolf was full of surprises, it actually knew pinyin?

“Hus…band?”
