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

"interesting."

"Are there still living people in this Bingo town?"

"An Awakened One? Interesting, very interesting."

Just as Zhang Lang was silently grumbling to himself, the door of the steel chariot suddenly slammed open.

A burly man covered in camouflage paint stepped down.

The man was at least 1.9 meters tall, with bulging muscles all over his body, standing there as strong as an iron tower.

He had a grotesque scar on his face that stretched from his forehead to his chin, which was particularly striking.

His eyes were as cold as a venomous snake, fixed on Zhang Lang, and he exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

It exudes a menacing aura!

He exuded murderous intent!

This man looks like a cold-blooded executioner!

"Is this a parallel world?"

Zhang Lang sized up the other person, thinking to himself, "Although he speaks with a slight accent, I can hear him clearly."

The two stood facing each other, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Zhang Lang's eyes were calm, showing no fear.

He could clearly sense that the camouflage man's strength was roughly at the peak of the E-level early awakener, just one step away from breaking through to the D-level.

But in the end, he didn't break through, and his strength was more than one level weaker than his.

It poses absolutely no threat to him.

"Hey bro, can you come out here?"

After sizing up Zhang Lang, the man in camouflage suddenly asked a question.

When he was asked the question, he stepped to the barrier and reached out to touch it, but was blocked by an invisible force.

"We can't get out."

Zhang Lang responded in a deep voice, his tone flat and emotionless.

"Oh? Is that so?"

The man in camouflage raised an eyebrow, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"I thought that since you were able to leave Bingo Town, and with your status as an Awakened, you could join our Mad Dog Hall."

"Unfortunately, you can't get out, so you're worthless and can only die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the camouflage-clad man suddenly produced an AK assault rifle.

Without hesitation, he raised his gun and fired at Zhang Lang.

"Damn, he really isn't a good person!"

Zhang Lang felt a chill and quickly dodged, but the next second he realized it was a false alarm.

AK bullets struck the invisible barrier and bounced off as if hitting an impenetrable wall.

It didn't leave a ripple; it couldn't penetrate at all.

"What happened?"

"My steel pipe could clearly extend just now. Could this be some kind of temporary protection provided to us transmigrators by that mysterious being?"

Zhang Lang steadied himself, a question lingering in his mind.

"Damn! This place is really weird!"

Upon seeing this, the man in camouflage cursed fiercely, then grinned maliciously at Zhang Lang.

"Kid, the day this barrier disappears, you'll be waiting to die!"

After saying that, he slowly raised his hand and made a cold throat-slitting gesture towards Zhang Lang.

After doing this, he turned around, quickly got into the car, and slammed the door shut.

The roar of engines resumed, and the steel vehicle turned around and sped toward the end of the desolate road.

It quickly disappeared, leaving only a piercing echo and dust lingering in the air.

"Mad Dog Hall?"

Zhang Lang's eyes were cold as he stared in the direction where the chariot had disappeared, and he chuckled softly.

"That name is quite fitting; it really is as ruthless as a mad dog."

Only now did he truly understand the cruelty of the apocalypse.

He had clearly seen that, in addition to the few strong men, there were also a dozen or so ragged people imprisoned in the cargo bed of the steel tank.

Men and women of all ages.

They were bound like prisoners with thick hemp ropes, their hair disheveled and covered in filth, their faces sallow and emaciated with numb eyes, their bodies so thin that they were nothing but skin and bones.

Some of them had obvious injuries and looked very pitiful.

Clearly, these people were kidnapped by members of the Mad Dog Gang.

"This Mad Dog Gang is no benevolent group. There's not much time left before the second Blood Moon Tide arrives, so I must improve my strength and Su Qing's strength as soon as possible."

Zhang Lang muttered to himself, reminding himself in his heart.

He was only a D-level Awakened, yet the other party opened fire without saying a word.

If they found out that I have dozens of stunningly beautiful women around me, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Swish~!

Zhang Lang took a big step and disappeared from the spot like a ghost, speeding towards the direction of the Shuyuan Garden villa.

At his speed of 25 m/s, he returned to the villa estate in just a few minutes.

He climbed over the wall and went straight into the lobby on the first floor.

Upon entering the hall, Zhang Lang saw Su Qing, Liu Ruyan, and the twin sisters Tang Yunjin and Tang Yunyao sitting on the sofa.

The four of them huddled together, scrolling through short videos on Douyin (TikTok), their faces showing rare relaxed smiles.

Besides the four of them, three pretty girls were also sitting next to the sofa.

She had delicate features but a reserved demeanor.

These are clearly the three candidates for concubines selected by lottery.

"Su Qing, where is Principal Jiang?"

Zhang Lang looked around but didn't see Jiang Chuyuan. He asked her curiously.

"Sister Jiang didn't get selected, and she went back to her room to sleep in a huff."

Su Qing put down her phone, pursed her lips, and chuckled, her tone slightly teasing.

"There's nothing we can do about it; she's just unlucky and can't blame anyone else."

Zhang Lang shrugged.

He knew perfectly well that Jiang Chuyuan, this beauty, desperately wanted to be taken as his wife or concubine so that she could receive his protection.

To be honest, with his current physique, he still has eight precious kidneys.

Even if he slept with Jiang Chuyuan, it wouldn't be a big deal; it wouldn't waste much of his energy.

The key point is that Jiang Chuyuan is not his wife or concubine, so he won't get any points from sleeping with her.

Even though he was somewhat interested in this mature and alluring beauty, he could only give up for the time being.

"Honey, are you going back inside to talk to these three sisters now?"

Su Qing leaned closer, her voice gentle.

"If you want to talk to your three younger sisters, you should take a shower first; you're covered in blood."

She didn't care at all about the increasing number of women around Zhang Lang; on the contrary, she wished that Zhang Lang could take all the women in Shuyuan Garden.

As the legal wife, as the principal wife.

She knew that the more women Zhang Lang had, the more prosperity points he would gain.

The faster their strength improves.

However, she was somewhat disappointed that there were only three spots available for a concubine this time.

"I won't take a shower yet."

Zhang Lang waved his hand.

He took out four crystal-clear energy cores from his pocket and handed them to Su Qing.

"Take these, wash them, and swallow them. You should be able to break through to the E-level Awakener stage."

"Really?"

Su Qing's eyes lit up instantly.

She carefully took the crystal core, her face full of surprise and anticipation.

She quickly turned around and ran to the kitchen, carefully washing the crystal core with clean water.

After drying herself off, she quickly returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

Taking a deep breath, she put the first energy crystal core into her mouth.

Just like last time, the cool and sweet sensation instantly spread across her tongue.

The crystal core melted rapidly, transforming into a surge of pure energy that flowed into her limbs and bones.

This time, having learned from her previous experience, Su Qing didn't panic.

She endured the slight pain from the energy surge, closed her eyes, and focused on guiding the energy to flow through her body, nourishing every meridian.

One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

Before long, Su Qing had finished swallowing the four energy crystal cores.

A faint glow gradually emanated from her body.

His face gradually relaxed from the initial slight pain, and his breathing became steady instead of rapid.

Liu Ruyan, the Tang twins, and the three newly selected girls all stopped what they were doing.

Their eyes were fixed on Su Qing, their faces full of curiosity and envy.

Everyone held their breath, afraid of disturbing Su Qing.

Zhang Lang also stood to the side, his eyes fixed intently on Su Qing.

He could clearly feel the energy within Su Qing's body rapidly increasing, and her aura constantly growing stronger.

From the initial awakening stage, he steadily progressed towards becoming an E-level awakener.

About ten minutes later, the faint light emanating from Su Qing suddenly intensified.

A powerful aura erupted from her body, sweeping across the entire hall.

She slowly opened her eyes, a clear glint in them, and a radiant smile bloomed on her face.

"It's done!"

Zhang Lang was overjoyed. With a thought, he instantly opened Su Qing's attribute panel.

[Name] Su Qing

[Identity] Legal wife

[Age] 23

[Constitution] Heavenly Fragrance Spring Body (Unawakened)

[Strength] E-rank Awakener (500/1000)

[Talent] S-Rank (Extraordinary) Water-type Talent (Tier 1)

Compared to before, Su Qing's panel has undergone new changes.

A new talent category has been added, and all stats have been significantly improved.

"First tier?"

"Could it be that Su Qing has already awakened her supernatural abilities?"

Zhang Lang looked at the talent section on Su Qing's data panel and made his own guesses.

He had just made that guess when he heard Su Qing exclaim in surprise, her voice filled with excitement and disbelief.

His voice trembled slightly.

"Honey, I think I've awakened some kind of superpower!"
