I'm just a lowly security guard, helping wealthy ladies survive the apocalypse.

"Danger?"

"What danger is there?"

Zhang Lang suddenly woke up and sprang up from the sofa.

He looked up and saw a girl standing beside him, trembling all over.

He frowned slightly as he looked at the girl.

Danger?

He was completely unaware.

Although he appeared to be asleep on the sofa, he actually kept his eyes half-closed and remained fully conscious.

Since completing his initial transformation and unlocking his genetic lock to become an E-level awakener, his energy has been astonishingly vigorous.

Even if I work non-stop for three or four days, I won't feel very tired.

Moreover, he is blessed with eight Vajra Kidneys, and his vital energy is almost overflowing at every moment.

Zhang Lang remained vigilant and attentive to the surroundings of the villa throughout the entire process.

He heard the girl's light footsteps as she came downstairs immediately.

He also knew that she had just walked towards him.

He just couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

He didn't hear any unusual sounds around the villa.

Only from time to time could one hear the hoarse roars of zombies outside the villa.

But it was nothing more than a roar.

There was no sign that the zombies were heading towards the Shuyuan Garden villa estate.

Everyone is currently staying in the villas, and the doors and windows are all tightly closed.

The zombies couldn't smell the presence of living people, so naturally they wouldn't flock towards the Shuyuan Garden villa estate.

"Brother Lang, go check the security footage."

The girl's voice trembled uncontrollably.

She reached out her hand, her slender fingers pointing to the surveillance monitor hanging on the wall in the corner of the lobby on the first floor.

"Let me see."

Zhang Lang got up and brushed past the girl, heading straight for the surveillance camera in the corner.

The display screen was filled with segmented images, covering every corner of the Shuyuan Garden villa estate.

His gaze swept quickly across the screen, and when it landed on one of the images...

His pupils suddenly narrowed.

In the surveillance footage, the seemingly ordinary old willow tree by the street outside the villa was playing a chilling role.

Its branches stretched and twisted wildly like living things, weaving a tight, airtight cage that firmly wrapped around a wandering zombie.

One of the branches, sharp as a knife, pierced straight through the zombie's skull and embedded itself firmly inside.

The zombie was shirtless and wearing only a pair of tattered shorts.

It's clear that he was a burly man with a very robust frame when he was alive.

But as the willow tree devoured it, the rotting flesh on its upper body was melting away at a visible speed.

In the blink of an eye, only a withered skin remained, hanging loosely on the skeleton, looking bizarre and eerie.

"It seems this is the mutated plant that the mysterious voice spoke of."

Zhang Lang murmured to himself thoughtfully.

This old willow tree was originally a common roadside green tree, but after being mutated by the blood moon radiation, it became so terrifying.

Even zombies can be devoured as nourishment.

If he hadn't witnessed this, and had rashly gone out and passed under the tree later, he probably would have unknowingly fallen victim to the attack.

The mysterious voice kept mentioning zombies and monsters.

He had already seen zombies before.

Before it even got dark when he first arrived, he had already killed quite a few people with his self-made spear.

But this was the first time he had ever seen a monster.

If plants become so dangerous after mutation, then animals would probably be even more terrifying.

For example, those stray cats and dogs that roam around...

Just thinking about it sent chills down Zhang Lang's spine.

Suddenly, Zhang Lang felt a weakness in his back.

Two soft touches, like warm steamed buns, gently bumped against his back.

Then a slender, soft body pressed tightly against him.

A pair of fair, delicate hands carefully wrapped around his waist from behind.

"Brother Lang, I'm so scared..."

The girl's voice was trembling with sobs, soft and weak, filled with fear.

"Do you really think we can survive in this post-apocalyptic wasteland?"

"The area outside the villa is teeming with terrifying zombies and monsters, and our food supplies are dwindling. What are we going to do?"

"We don't even dare to leave the house..."

"Brother Lang, I'm so scared..."

Zhang Lang remained silent; at that moment, he had no attention whatsoever on the girl behind him.

Although the girl has a stunning figure, her chest... However, he did not have a single strange thought in his mind.

His gaze was fixed on the surveillance screen, staring intently at the strange, mutated old willow tree.

He needed to thoroughly investigate the details of this mutated willow tree.

Will it move?

What other bizarre abilities does it possess?

How far can a branch extend and retract?

Does it have consciousness?

Only by understanding these situations can we devise effective countermeasures.

Most importantly, this mutated willow tree is too close to Shuyuan Garden.

If it were to move, and happen to head towards the villa, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This guy can devour even zombies, let alone living people like them.

He himself was able to escape smoothly thanks to his strength as an E-level awakened individual.

But the girls in the villa couldn't escape.

If they were gone, his talent for bringing prosperity to his family would have no place to be used.

There's no way to get stronger every day anymore.

Unfortunately, his data-driven vision was completely ineffective through the surveillance footage.

He couldn't see the specific data of this mutated willow tree at all, so he couldn't judge its true strength.

"hiss……"

Zhang Lang suddenly gasped, his pupils contracted sharply, and his gaze became increasingly serious.

Another zombie wandered aimlessly to the base of the mutated willow tree.

As if it were sentient, the willow tree began to shake violently.

The branches around it rustled, as if they were cheering excitedly.

The branches that had been wrapped around the first zombie suddenly tightened, and the zombie, now just a skin, was completely devoured at a speed visible to the naked eye.

First came the remaining flesh and blood, then the hard bones, and finally even the withered skin disappeared without a trace.

Not even a trace was left.

Immediately afterwards, its branches stretched out again with a rustling sound.

Like a venomous snake hunting its prey, it quickly wrapped itself tightly around the newly appeared zombie.

The sharp branches pierced the zombie's head again, frantically sucking something in like straws.

Within minutes, the zombie was completely devoured.

For the next half hour or so, no third zombie wandered over.

The mutated willow tree seemed to have lost interest.

Its branches drooped slowly, becoming listless.

Before long, it returned to its usual ordinary appearance, looking harmless.

It was as if the terrifying scene of the zombies being devoured was just an illusion.

"This guy is a real idiot."

Zhang Lang muttered to himself.

A thin layer of sweat had seeped out from his back; what he had just witnessed had given him the creeps.

He secretly rejoiced, thankfully he had received a wasteland-exclusive nuclear fusion generator as a reward from the mysterious being.

With the generator providing power, the villa's surveillance system can function properly.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have seen the mutated willow tree devouring zombies tonight.

If you go out in the future, you will definitely suffer a great setback.

"Brother Lang, do you think that strange tree might grow up and come to our villa?"

The girl's voice was still filled with deep fear.

She pressed her soft body even closer to Zhang Lang, her voice filled with worry and unease.

"have no idea."

Zhang Lang shook his head slightly.

He could clearly feel the girl's body trembling slightly.

The soft touch trembled gently, creating a subtle undulation.

That is, the large D headlight is at the back.

otherwise,

He would see the lights flickering on and off.

"Brother Lang, can I be your woman?"

The girl's arms, which were wrapped around his waist, slowly moved downwards, her fingertips probing with a hint of uncertainty.

During their two years of training at Shuyuan Academy, they have already learned how to please men.

"Can."

Zhang Lang answered crisply and decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

He didn't think the girl was frivolous.

In this precarious and uncertain world, they have no power and no one to rely on.

The only price they could offer to gain his protection was their beauty and bodies.

"Really?"

In the darkness, the girl's eyes lit up instantly, her voice filled with surprise, and even her trembling lessened.

"Really, but it has to be done by drawing lots."

A slight smile appeared on Zhang Lang's lips.

"Later I'll give each of you a card, and whoever draws it will become my woman."

He wanted to experience what it was like for big bosses to flip cards in high-end shopping malls.

"Okay, okay!"

"I hope I'll be selected then."

The girl immediately beamed with joy, her voice full of anticipation.

Although she couldn't become Zhang Lang's woman right away, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

But she dared not show it at all.

Having even a chance to turn the tables is already a stroke of luck.

If you anger this man because of your resentment, you probably won't even get this little bit of chicken dinner.

"It depends on your luck."

Zhang Lang gently pushed away her hands that were wrapped around his waist and lay back down on the sofa.

"You've finished using the toilet, now go upstairs to sleep."

Undeterred, the girl pressed herself against him again, only to be pushed away by Zhang Lang once more.

Now that he has decided to proceed with the selection of a concubine, he will not easily change his mind.

Goodnight, Brother Lang.

The girl suppressed her ulterior motives, obediently responded, and turned to walk towards the stairwell.

Zhang Lang didn't even lift his eyelids.

He didn't even know the girl's name; she just looked familiar.

I wasn't thinking of asking, nor did I want to.

The unknown is what makes things more interesting.

There's still a long way to go, and we'll find out her name eventually, so why the rush?

Before we knew it, the sky was gradually brightening.

A faint ray of dawn slowly spread across the distant horizon, casting a dim light on the floor through the villa's floor-to-ceiling windows.

A sudden urge to urinate struck Zhang Lang, who opened his eyes and prepared to get up and go to the bathroom.

He had just sat up from the sofa when he heard a gentle female voice from not far away.

Good morning, Zhang Lang.

Zhang Lang looked in the direction of the sound and saw beauty.

Zhang Lang looked in the direction of the sound and saw Mei Wangxue coming out of the bedroom, obviously also going to the toilet.

Hearing him get up, the woman turned around and greeted him with a smile.

Her eyes and brows held a hint of languor from just waking up.

Early morning is a time when people's blood and energy tend to surge, making them more prone to anger.

Seeing Wang Xue like this again, Zhang Lang felt his anger intensify.

Although he fought four battles last night against Su Qing, Liu Ruyan and the two Tang sisters.

They defeated the four female demons.

But those four fierce battles did not damage his vitality in the slightest.

With the blessing of eight Vajra Kidneys, he was still full of energy and radiant.

Although Wang Xue had just gotten up, she wasn't wearing pajamas.

The sky was barely light when she had already changed into a neat yet alluring casual outfit.

In the dim light of the high-ceilinged villa, her outfit perfectly outlined her graceful figure and revealed the elegance of a wealthy wife.

This beauty exudes a mature charm in every smile and gesture.

She wore a beige, fitted V-neck chiffon blouse; the semi-transparent fabric had a hazy, soft feel to it.

The three-quarter sleeves accentuated her slender, fair wrists, while the perfectly fitted waist design, like a gentle ruler, precisely sculpted her delicate waist.

The small cutout design on the back of the shirt adds a touch of subtle sexiness, revealing without being gaudy, alluring without being vulgar.

This beautiful woman wore high-waisted flared jeans that hugged her hips, perfectly outlining her smooth curves.

The lines from the waist and abdomen to the legs are as smooth and natural as flowing water.

The slightly flared trousers spread out gently along her leg shape, paired with nude stilettos, instantly elongating her leg proportions.

It made her legs look straight and long, as if the lines extending from her waist to her toes were glowing.

Wang Xue already has a very striking hourglass figure, and this outfit perfectly showcases her waist-to-hip ratio.

From Zhang Lang's perspective, she had relaxed shoulders and a slender waist. Her legs are long and slender.

Every curve is perfectly proportioned, without an ounce of excess fat. Her beauty is both strikingly alluring and subtly captivating.

Her loose, wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders, giving her a慵懒 (yōnglǎn, meaning lazy or languid) yet飒爽 (sàshuǎng, meaning cool and dashing) look.

That smile as she turned around was incredibly charming and alluring.

"morning."

Zhang Lang picked up the cigarette pack on the coffee table, took out a cigarette, and lit it.

The smoke slowly swirled, obscuring the expression in his eyes.

"Zhang Lang, you don't look tired at all. How come you have so much energy?"

Wang Xue looked him up and down, her eyes full of surprise.

"Should I be mentally unstable?"

Zhang Lang chuckled lightly, exhaled a smoke ring, and spoke with a hint of nonchalance.

"You weren't..."

Wang Xue paused, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Su Qing, Liu Ruyan, and the two Tang sisters—you've slept with all four of them, how can you still have so much energy?"

Fortunately, the villa had a wasteland Wi-Fi network, so my phone could access the internet normally.

Although she stayed in her room all night and didn't come out, she learned about everything that happened in the lobby on the first floor through the group chat.

"I'm healthy, is that not allowed?"

Zhang Lang looked up at her, his tone indifferent.

"Yes, of course!"

Wang Xue nodded quickly, her eyes sparkling.

A hint of shyness and longing flashed in her eyes as she deliberately displayed her charm.

"Zhang Lang, how about... you take me in too?"

The thought of her husband who betrayed her in the real world filled Wang Xue with hatred and resentment.

Now that she is in the midst of the apocalypse, she has long since abandoned all the pride and reserve of a wealthy wife.

Now, all she wants is for this powerful man in front of her to accept her and become his woman.

She wanted to give that unfaithful man a big surprise.

The other girls hadn't gotten up yet, so only she and Zhang Lang were in the lobby on the first floor.

She finally mustered up the courage to speak out what was hidden in her heart.

"You were bossing me around yesterday, and I even hit you. And this morning you want to be my woman?"

Zhang Lang shook his head slightly, his tone tinged with amusement.

Wang Xue's face fell instantly, and her heart sank.

Her worst fears came true.

Although Zhang Lang was very magnanimous and did not pursue her past arrogance and rudeness.

But now, hearing this, it's clear he doesn't want to give her the chicken dinner.

If she can't become Zhang Lang's woman, how will he protect her in this perilous post-apocalyptic wasteland?

The thought of the zombies roaming outside and those terrifying monsters...

A strong sense of fear and desolation welled up in Wang Xue's heart, and her whole body began to tremble slightly.

It's not that I can't give you a chance.

Just as Wang Xue was feeling disheartened, Zhang Lang suddenly changed the subject.

"Really?"

Wang Xue's eyes lit up instantly, her dejection vanished, and her voice was full of surprise.

"I'm going to go back and give each of you a card. I'll say a number, and whoever draws it will become my woman."

Zhang Lang said in a calm tone.

"Are you choosing a concubine?"

Wang Xuexin blurted out without hesitation, "Then I hope I can be selected."

"Don't be too happy yet."

Zhang Lang shook his head slightly, his gaze fixed on Wang Xue. "I don't plan to go out today, but I will hunt zombies."

"Do you dare stand at the villa's gate as bait to lure zombies over so I can kill them?"

The family's talent for prosperity has been activated.

Now, killing ordinary corpses can trigger a mechanism to protect his home and earn him Prosperity Points.

He certainly wouldn't let this opportunity to become stronger slip by.

"What?"

Wang Xue's eyes widened instantly, her smile froze, and her face was filled with disbelief.

She never expected that Zhang Lang would ask her to do something so dangerous.

She took such a risk simply to get a chance to sleep with him.

absurd!

She herself found it absurd.

but……

Thinking that Zhang Lang had already become a powerful E-level awakened individual.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Xue raised her head, her eyes hardening.

She stared intently at Zhang Lang.

"Okay, I'm willing to be the bait."

"But you have to sleep with me a few more times in the future, okay?"

In order to survive, this once high-and-mighty wealthy woman is now going all out.
