He Traded the System for My Rebirth, and I Led Him Across the Apocalypse

49: Father and Son ShowdownThis person was none other than Shen Mingqian, Shen Mo Chi’s biological father, who had vanished before the Apocalypse.

His eyes were cold, and his entire body exuded an uncomfortable, sinister aura.

Thinking of his biological son, Shen Mo Chi, there was no paternal affection on his face, only unconcealed hatred.

Back then, everyone said he had forced Nianci to death, but he insisted that Nianci had committed suicide just to let that bastard acknowledge his ancestors.

He loved her so much; he wished he could give her the best, so how could he have forced her to die?

It was because of Shen Mo Chi that she killed herself in front of her father.

The moment he learned of Nianci’s death, he only wanted to kill that rebellious son!

But when he returned to the Shen family, under his father’s protection, suddenly no one could touch him.

Coupled with his father’s stern warning and the elaborate effort to host a recognition banquet to announce his identity, it actually tied his hands.

Even so, at that time, he hadn’t really cared much.

Because Shen Mo Chi was still young then, only nine years old.

And Shen Mingqian already controlled the entire Shen Corporation, naturally believing that the Child posed no real threat.

Dealing with him would just be a matter of convenience, waiting for the perfect time and place.

But who would have thought that his father would send him abroad to protect him?

During the three years Shen Mo Chi was missing, he felt no turbulence in his heart; he even thought it was for the best, sparing him the trouble of taking action, as the Child carried his own blood.

But who knew, he was fated to live and eventually returned safe and sound.

When he returned from abroad again, the Child who used to look at him with icy eyes every time had transformed into a decisive and ruthless figure!

He not only squeezed him out of the Shen Corporation but also crippled all three of his sons!

For those two years, the Shen family experienced turmoil and bloodshed because of his return.

After personally witnessing him cripple the eldest son and break the limbs of the second and third sons,

Shen Mingqian, who was completely sidelined at the time, immediately realized that this was a wolf cub even a hundred times more ruthless than himself!

He regretted more than once that he had sired this rebellious son just to trap Nianci and prevent her from escaping. Later, he was actually forced by his own son into a life of hiding! His lifelong reputation was ruined!

He thought he would never be able to return to Huaxia in this lifetime, but the arrival of the Apocalypse was a golden opportunity for him.

When Shen Mo Chi was searching the world for him, he had long hidden away with an old friend in America.

After the Apocalypse struck, with zombies rampant and continuous natural disasters, he quickly found a bright path amidst the chaos.

He used some of his old connections to contact officials in Country M, and with their support, obtained massive amounts of supplies and weapons.

Upon returning to the country, as soon as the overall situation stabilized, he immediately found a suitable opportunity and established the Guangming Base in Sea City.

He continuously funneled intelligence about Huaxia to them in exchange for greater benefits.

Just like that, the Guangming Base slowly developed from an obscure, desolate place to its current scale.

However, for caution, most people outside believed that Yang Hong was the actual leader.

In reality, he was merely a tool to mislead outsiders; everything about the Guangming Base was under his control.

When the Mu Lin Family ran into trouble, the Guangming Base kept an extremely low profile during that period.

Because they were prepared from the start, they successfully evaded inspection after inspection and survived smoothly.

Every time he dealt with people from Country M, he never delegated; he always went in person.

Therefore, no one could trace anything, as he was someone who barely appeared in the public eye; many people even assumed he was long dead.

In fact, he often went out secretly through the base’s underground tunnels to contact those people, without anyone knowing.

It wasn’t until the storm caused by the Mu Lin Family subsided that they resumed their normal operations.

The Qingyun Team, which took over the Mu Lin Family, became instantly sought-after, with every base talking about their heroic deeds.

Shen Mo Chi’s name thus reached his ears.

Shen Mingqian never expected that even in the Apocalypse, his son’s strength was still so formidable, and he had even made such a treasure of a girlfriend who possessed a spatial ability...

Currently, the strength of the Guangming Base was second only to the Qingyun Base.

Shen Mingqian, ambitious, sneered as he fantasized about the day he would obtain Lin Wan’s spatial ability.

The matter of Country M spreading the zombie virus had always involved him secretly tipping off the other side and looking for the right moment to leak the movements of Huaxia’s military.

To put it plainly, the Guangming Base was like Country M’s pair of eyes in Huaxia.

The meeting that Yang Hong attended today, hosted by The Authorities, although Director Zhang said nothing, allowed Shen Mingqian to keenly sense something unusual.

He managed to survive well for three years in the Apocalypse, which naturally required caution and prudence.

As a precaution, it was best not to make any moves during this period.

But that ’good son’ of his...

His Qingyun Base, rich in supplies and vast in area, and that woman he held dear, Lin Wan...

He would make Shen Mo Chi watch as he snatched all of it away!

Just like how he snatched the Shen Corporation from his hands back then, and Nianci died because of him.

He would make Shen Mo Chi know the taste of losing the one he loved and losing everything in his grasp.

The contest between father and son had only just begun!

”Leader, I have already sent the signal.”

Yang Hong strode in, interrupting Shen Mingqian’s thoughts.

”Good. Tell your subordinates to step up the collection of Level 8 crystal cores. Level 9 cores would be even better. I need to advance to Level 9 as soon as possible!”

Yang Hong nodded respectfully.

”Yes, Leader. Don’t worry. Although crystal cores of such a high level are rare, the people below are constantly searching.”

”Mhm. Remember, without my permission, absolutely do not tell anyone about my existence, or... you know the consequences!”

The cold voice sent a chill down Yang Hong’s spine.

”Yes, I know.”

After Yang Hong left, everyone greeted him respectfully.

The respect and flattery in their eyes were very pleasing to him. At this moment, he was a completely different person from the subservient manner he displayed before Shen Mingqian.

If it weren’t for Shen Mingqian, he wouldn’t have the life he had now.

Moreover, only he knew that Shen Mingqian possessed terrifying strength as a dual-element user of electricity and ice, both at Level 8.

He was one of the people who had followed Shen Mingqian from the beginning. Some of the initial group were dealt with by Shen Mo Chi, some were imprisoned, and some died when the Apocalypse struck.

Only he survived because he had been abroad managing some of Shen Mingqian’s small businesses.

Later, when Shen Mingqian went into hiding there, he was the one who accompanied him until now, which is why he held the current position of commanding widespread obedience.

Because he had always been abroad, he often went out now, so Shen Mo Chi didn’t recognize him.

Little did they know, his father was like a coiled, ferocious tiger, hidden in the shadows, ready to strike him dead at any moment!

Thinking of Lin Wan’s slender, snow-white neck and those perfectly straight legs, Yang Hong felt a surge of heat.

Due to the incident caused by Lin Wan and her group, Country M and Japan suffered heavy losses and countless casualties, but after learning the truth, they became even more united.

As far as he knew, they were brewing a major scheme.

When that plan succeeded, Huaxia would quickly undergo a complete upheaval from top to bottom!

No one would be spared from this disaster, which was more terrifying than the natural disasters...

Of course, he and the Leader belonged to that side, so they wouldn’t be harmed. When the plan succeeded, what they stood to gain would be far more than just a small Guangming Base; even the entire Sea City would be theirs!

He wouldn’t let go of a supreme beauty like Lin Wan.

Thinking of this, his mouth immediately went dry.

He headed straight for a small two-story building in the commoner district.
