Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 143: Chapter 141: Trouble Arrives

Peng City.

After the shelter was built, even the survivors who couldn’t enter the shelter tried to live as close to it as possible.

Besides, there were also many small shelters set up by civilian Life Pattern Masters.

Nowadays, survivors live in groups, which has led to many communities being abandoned.

Inside a long-abandoned residential building.

Three people were gathered around a cartridge gas stove, eating hot pot, with steam rising from the tomato yuan-yang broth.

The hot pot included tripe and fatty beef, along with some vegetables to cut the grease.

In these times, those who can live so comfortably are undoubtedly Life Pattern Masters.

Three people, two men and one woman.

This woman was none other than Mad Woman Day Traveler, and among the two men, one was the elite force of the financial family, Yang Jing, and the other was one of the only two survivors of the Zhang Family Hunting Squad, Poison Lord.

Yang Jing took half a Blood Pill from the Zhang Family, and he came to Peng City to kill Lin Yuan.

Once Lin Yuan is dead and he carries Lin Yuan’s head, he can exchange it for the other half of the Blood Pill.

The Zhang Family had already paid half the deposit, so naturally, they had to send someone to supervise Yang Jing, otherwise, what if Yang Jing took the deposit and didn’t act?

Thus, the only two survivors of the last Zhang Family Hunting Squad, Day Traveler and Poison Lord, were also sent to assist Yang Jing.

Mad Woman Day Traveler was very pleased with this task.

The people who voted to kill Night Traveler were mostly dead, leaving only Poison Lord.

At headquarters, Day Traveler couldn’t act against Poison Lord. Now in Peng City, it’s different.

Day Traveler plans to find an opportunity to join forces with Lin Yuan to first kill Poison Lord.

First, kill all those who voted to kill Night Traveler to collect some interest.

As for overthrowing the Zhang Family and the entire Deceitful King Faction, that’s a matter for later.

”Our spies in the shelter have found out that Lin Yuan is currently not in Peng City. It is said that he is out hunting Evil Spirits,” Day Traveler replied while fanning the tripe.

Her tripe-cooking technique was very standard, up and down seven times, dipping in sauce and devouring.

Yang Jing wrapped the fatty beef drenched in sesame paste with lettuce and swallowed it in one bite, then asked, ”Do you know when he will return?”

Day Traveler froze for a moment, then said, ”How would I know? Once he kills the Evil Spirits, he’ll definitely come back!”

”I say, why don’t we just storm into the Wushan Shelter and kill everyone inside.”

”At that time, Lin Yuan naturally will return!” Poison Lord’s triangular eyes were filled with viciousness.

The last time their hunting squad was defeated in Peng City, Poison Lord kept it in mind, he wants to destroy the entire Wushan Shelter, making everyone related to Lin Yuan wish they were dead.

This thing, Poison Lord definitely doesn’t have the ability to achieve it alone. Unable to do it himself, naturally, he wants to provoke Yang Jing to do it.

”Bang!”

However, Poison Lord’s plan was foiled.

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a heavy slap land on his face, instantly swelling with the imprint of five fingers.

The one who slapped him was none other than Yang Jing.

Yang Jing, by nature, is not actually a bad person.

Although he is part of the Ma Family, he’s always been just a bodyguard and driver, and has never done anything bad.

The reason he came to kill Lin Yuan this time was for the Blood Pill, to save his sister.

Killing an unfamiliar Lin Yuan was already breaking through Yang Jing’s moral boundary.

But exterminating the entire Wushan Shelter, killing thousands of ordinary people, Yang Jing would never do.

Killing so many people, how is that any different from being a beast?

Poison Lord was slapped so hard by Yang Jing that his mind buzzed.

Poison Lord was stunned, and after a long time, he reacted, glaring with bulging eyes and shouting: ”Yang Jing, what do you mean?”

”The Family Head sent us to assist you in getting the job done, we’re not your subordinates, what gives you the right to hit me.”

Yang Jing looked up at Poison Lord, coldly saying: ”If I hear you talk about harming ordinary people again, I promise I’ll be the first to kill you.”

Being glared at by Yang Jing, Poison Lord felt a chill in his heart.

Not only Poison Lord but even their hunting squad leader Celestial King was no match for Yang Jing.

Yang Jing wanting to kill him wouldn’t take much effort.

Moreover, from Yang Jing’s look, he wasn’t bluffing.

Intimidated by Yang Jing’s stare, Poison Lord felt fear and dared not mention forcing Lin Yuan out by harming ordinary people again.

But simply admitting defeat, Poison Lord also felt embarrassed.

Poison Lord lowered his head, not daring to make eye contact with Yang Jing, but he muttered: ”Just a lousy driver, what are you so arrogant about!”

”Why don’t you go take a look in the mirror, see what you really are...”

Before Poison Lord could finish speaking, his voice suddenly stopped, as an iron-like hand clamped around his throat.

”Yang...”

”Yang Jing, what are you trying to do?” Poison Lord’s face turned red, barely forcing out that sentence.

Yang Jing lifted Poison Lord with one hand, despite Poison Lord’s struggles, he couldn’t break free at all.

”Trash like you doesn’t deserve to sit at the same table.” After saying this, Yang Jing threw him forcefully into the corner.

Poison Lord crashed into the wall, struggling to get up to argue with Yang Jing.

”Don’t move, stay there quietly.”

”If you don’t listen, you’ll die!” Yang Jing said while swishing his tripe.

”You...” Poison Lord pointed at Yang Jing, unable to speak for a moment, but he truly didn’t dare to move.

Yang Jing ignored Poison Lord and addressed the Day Traveler, ”After dinner, go keep an eye on the Wushan Shelter.”

”Notify me immediately when Lin Yuan returns.”

Though Day Traveler was a mad woman, she knew who could be provoked and who could not.

The Yang Jing before her was as perverted as Lin Yuan; why provoke such a freak?

”Alright!” Day Traveler agreed.

....

...

Five Dragon Mountain Shelter.

In the underground bunker, Yang Dingguo’s office.

”Did it succeed?” Yang Dingguo glanced at Lin Yuan and asked.

With the deceitful demons in Han City and Feng City having vanished, Yang Dingguo knew Lin Yuan’s goal had been achieved.

Lin Yuan nodded, saying to Yang Dingguo, ”It succeeded. From now on, I’ll protect you!”

”You brat, no manners!” Yang Dingguo jokingly scolded, but his tone carried joy.

Lin Yuan daring to claim he would protect him showed that Lin Yuan’s strength had significantly improved.

Lin Yuan’s strength progression was good news for the entire Peng City.

Lin Yuan and Peng City were intertwined in prosperity or decline.

If Lin Yuan was strong, then Peng City was strong!

”Old Yang, how about going out for a stroll?”

”Being cooped up here all day is like being in prison!” Lin Yuan said to Yang Dingguo.

Since the invasion of the strange, Yang Dingguo had spent about eighty to ninety percent of his time in the underground bunker.

As Peng City’s leader, his safety was paramount.

Now, besides evil spirits outside, there were financial powers eyeing, making the bunker the only place ensuring Yang Dingguo’s safety.

In some ways, staying in this bunker really was akin to imprisonment.

Before Yang Dingguo could speak, Secretary Wang interjected, ”Elder Yang’s safety is crucial; outside, even in the shelter, absolute safety can’t be guaranteed.”

Lin Yuan waved dismissively, saying, ”The lack of safety is because I’m not present. Now that I’m here, I guarantee safety.”

After these words, he asked Yang Dingguo, ”Old Yang, want to take a stroll?”

Secretary Wang seemed poised to say more, but Yang Dingguo gestured for silence.

Yang Dingguo propped himself up, telling Lin Yuan, ”A stroll sounds good. I haven’t basked in the sun for a while.”

Seeing Yang Dingguo decide to go out, Secretary Wang hastily offered, ”Elder Yang, I’ll arrange security.”

Yang Dingguo waved him off, instructing, ”No need. What security could be better than him?”

”That brat’s character may not be great, but his strength is reliable.”

Lin Yuan: ”?????”

Lin Yuan thought, Old Yang, we can be familiar, but you shouldn’t slander me!

Lin Yuan and Yang Dingguo, an old man and a young man, walked along the main street of Five Dragon Mountain Shelter.

At that moment, the shelter had already become a small city.

It had regained bustling urban life.

Shops lined the streets, roadside vendors, and bustling crowds.

In a daze, it felt like returning to the time before the strange invasion.

Inside the shelter and outside, they were now completely different worlds.

”Alas!”

”Sadly, this shelter is too small. Even exhausting my efforts, I could only build a shelter for fifty thousand people.”

”Outside the shelter, countless survivors face peril...” Yang Dingguo sighed at what he had established, voice tinged with regret.

”Think positively—thanks to your efforts, these fifty thousand people can live such a life, right?” Lin Yuan consoled.

At this moment, a nearby vendor called out, ”You two, want some noodles?”

This atmosphere, Lin Yuan hadn’t experienced for a long time; he pulled Yang Dingguo to sit.

”A bowl of vegetable noodles.” Yang Dingguo ordered, telling Lin Yuan, ”Older now, I can only eat lighter foods.”

Lin Yuan contemplated, then told the vendor, ”Boss, I’d like fried noodles.”

”Also, no MSG in the fried noodles.”

”You have fresh quail eggs, right? Give me two.”

Quail eggs were a Peng City specialty. Fried, with some spicy sauce, they were aromatic and spicy, very tasty.

This snack also had another name, known as spicy hairy eggs.

Lin Yuan and Yang Dingguo sat together, eating and chatting.

Meanwhile, someone amidst the distant crowds hid in the shadows, watching them intently.

Once confirming it was Lin Yuan and Yang Dingguo, the person quickly turned to leave.
