Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 154 Human Leaders Are Blind to the Truth (7)

Originally, they had planned to visit Si Yanjiang and Wei Lan, but upon hearing Shi Qi's words, they looked at him with disapproval: "Shi Qi, don't joke around with our lives!"

Ye Xin chimed in, "Yes, Shi Qi, let's deal with him together. Don't be impulsive..."

Clearly, they all felt that if even Si Yan, a level 5 superpower user, couldn't do it, Shi Qi, a level 4 user, couldn't either.

Shi Qi didn't intend to refute them, but Si Yan, the highest-ranking person, spoke up: "Shi Qi, I believe you." He looked at Shi Qi with a firm gaze.

"Si Yan?!" Jiang Weilan looked at him in disbelief.

"Fate Value -10"

Seeing how much he believed in him, Shi Qi nodded firmly in return. Then, looking at the zombie in front of him again, he rushed towards it with lightning speed.

So fast was the movement that the sixth-level zombie didn't even see Shi Qi's movements clearly. He only had time to hurriedly protect his head before Shi Qi stabbed a large gash into his arm, which was protecting his forehead.

The zombie tilted its head, as if it couldn't understand how the person in front of it, who exuded a level four aura, had pierced its tough skin.

Shi Qi gave him no time to think and stabbed at him with the dagger again. This time the zombie reacted faster, but Shi Qi still managed to slash his cheek.

The others, who had been worried, widened their eyes in disbelief. Ling Wei tugged at Ye Xin's sleeve, saying, "He's so fast, I can barely see him..."

Ye Xin agreed: "That's right..."

Zhang Lie: "Suddenly, I realize we worried about them for nothing. Indeed, those who can survive the apocalypse alone are no ordinary people..."

Ye Xin looked at Si Yan, who was receiving treatment from Jiang Weilan behind her: "As expected of the boss, you have a really good eye for people!"

The zombies on this side tried to fight back, only to find that they couldn't even touch a hair on Shi Qi's head. Although zombies don't sweat, the level six zombie felt himself drenched in sweat, sensing an unprecedented threat of death.

Before the zombie could get away from Shi Qi, Shi Qi's next slash struck, hitting the zombie squarely in the forehead. This time, unlike Si Yan's previous slashes, the blade pierced through without any resistance.

In an instant, the zombie lost its life and its body slammed heavily to the ground.

The next moment, the others stepped forward and surrounded Shi Qi, looking at him as if he were a hero. Even Si Yan, whose injuries had not fully healed, and Jiang Weilan, who had always been suspicious of Shi Qi, came over.

Zhang Lie: "Wow! Shi Qi, you're too strong!"

Ye Xin: "Even the boss has been outdone by you. I've decided that from now on, you'll be my second boss!"

"I shouldn't have doubted your abilities. Thank you this time..." Jiang Weilan thanked Shi Qi with an awkward expression.

Si Yan, who had placed his trust in Shi Qi from the beginning, didn't say anything more, but Shi Qi saw a lot of appreciation in his eyes.

Shi Qi crouched down, used his dagger to cut open the zombie's head on the ground, and took out its crystal core.

Since Shi Qi killed the zombie, it was the most suitable person for him to absorb the crystal core, and no one objected. However, Shi Qi did not do so; instead, he turned around and placed the hand holding the crystal core in front of Si Yan.

Si Yan was stunned by his action. He never expected that Shi Qi would give the crystal core to him, whom he had only known for a short time: "This is your spoils of war. You shouldn't give it to me..." Si Yan did not take the crystal core from Shi Qi's hand and refused him without hesitation.

"Si Yan's favorable impression +5"

Shi Qi definitely couldn't keep the crystal core for himself, since zombies mainly level up by eating people...

"You keep it. You have the highest-level ability in the team, so this crystal core can be used to its fullest potential with you."

"Besides, I wasn't able to kill him entirely because of my strength; it just so happened that my ability was applicable... Moreover, the team needs a high-level ability user," Shi Qi advised Si Yan.

Finally, he concluded, "So, just accept it."

Si Yan was stunned by what Shi Qi was saying, and unconsciously took the still-warm crystal core from Shi Qi's hand.

007: "Host, I would like to respectfully call you the Master of Deception! Look at what he told you!"

Shi Qi admitted that there was indeed some misleading element to what he was saying, but he remained calm and waited for Si Yan to take the crystal core before withdrawing his hand.

Si Yan seemed to have been entrusted with a great responsibility by Shi Qi, and nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I will not let you down!"

"Si Yan's favorable impression +10"

There's no need to take the "..." part so seriously...

Soon, Si Yan completely absorbed the crystal core in his palm. Combined with his previous accumulation, after absorbing the crystal core, Si Yan's ability leveled up to level six, and everyone was happy for him.

Si Yan: "There's still some time before dawn, everyone go and continue to rest."

Although the house was somewhat dilapidated, the presence of the aura of a high-level zombie's death kept other low-level zombies away, making the night surprisingly peaceful.

The next day, the group set off for City A again.

Fortunately, not far along, the group encountered several cars that looked to be in relatively good condition in this sparsely populated suburb, including a minivan that could accommodate seven people.

They had left their car there earlier, worried about alerting the high-level zombies lurking in the shadows. They were initially concerned about having to walk the whole way, but their luck had turned out to be incredibly good.

Si Yan smashed the driver's side window with his elbow and then opened the car door from the inside.

There was no body in the car; it's estimated that the person died when leaving the vehicle. Fortunately, the key was still in the ignition.

Si Yan got into the car and tried to start the engine. The engine, true to its appearance, started quickly and successfully. Looking at the fuel tank, there was about half full, enough to get to the next gas station.

"Get in the car," Si Yan said to the others, then turned to Shi Qi: "You can sit in the passenger seat. Your senses are sharp, and you'll be more likely to spot dangers on the road."

Actually, Shi Qi had originally planned to sit in the passenger seat, since he felt a bit possessive of Si Yan sitting in the driver's seat. So, upon hearing Si Yan's words, he naturally sat down.

The others didn't seem to have any objections, but Jiang Weilan felt a little jealous, because this seat was originally his...
