Blood Warlock: Succubus Partner In The Apocalypse Chapter 28

Bai Zemin’s words stunned everyone present. Regardless of whether they were teachers or students,the people able to participate in this small meeting and express their opinions stared straight aheadwith blank expressions.

Shangguan Bing Xue frowned and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this situation. Herbrain was like a supercomputer, remembering what had just happened and soon her eyes flashedsoftly as if she had finally understood everything.

Chen He, who always had a calm expression on his face, could not help but gasp in a breath of cold airas he looked at Bai Zemin as if he was an unidentified alien.

Until now, although the time they spent together was not much, Chen He had identified Bai Zemin as aperson who enjoyed loneliness more than the company of others and was usually quite calm.Therefore, now that he saw him go crazy and say such arrogant words, he did not know how to react.

Moreover, Chen He had seen how terrifying Liang Peng’s strength was during the first day of theapocalypse after the arrival of the Soul Record to this world. A single blow from his hammer wasenough to turn a zombie’s body into a pile of meat paste!

“What arrogance, brat!” Liang Peng’s eyes opened as wide as those of an enraged bull. His beardquivered and he looked at Bai Zemin as if he was going to jump on him at any moment.

Liang Peng had seen Bai Zemin’s speed back then when he decapitated zombies. Although he wasfast, Liang Peng believed that at such a distance he only needed to stretch out a hand to crush him likean ant; such was the confidence in his physical strength!

Bai Zemin’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as he looked at the man who was like a small giant.

His current mood was gloomy to say the least. As if that wasn’t enough, his left hand was still hurting,his family might be suffering from hunger or who knows what kind of hardship… Since this person doesnot understand in a good way and words could not reach him, a bit of pain might make him understandthe meaning of the word terror…

Bai Zemin took a step forward and was about to make his move when a cold but beautiful voicestopped him.

“Okay, let’s do as you say.”

Everyone looked at Shangguan Bing Xue in surprise and disbelief. Even Bai Zemin himself wassurprised that this woman agreed with his words so easily and without argument.

“Bing Xue, you… Are you sure of what you are saying?” Chen He looked at his childhood friend inshock. It was no secret to anyone that he had been in love with her for years; therefore, he knew verywell that she was an intelligent woman. However, he did not understand why she had accepted such anidea that was clearly not good at the moment.

Shangguan Bing Xue gently shook her head but did not explain anything. Among those present, onlyshe had noticed that Bai Zemin’s mood was on the floor and if it wasn’t for her interrupting just in time,it was likely that things would have gotten out of hand. Right now, the last thing they needed wereinternal battles.

“While I agree with what you said, I need you to explain better what you have in mind. Otherwise noone will accept such a wild idea like that.” Shangguan Bing Xue looked at Bai Zemin indifferently andslowly explained, “At this point, everyone’s mood is not good. The situation of the unknown world isgetting worse and worse. If we suddenly tell them that their meals will be cut off, no one will accept itwillingly.”

Bai Zemin looked at her and took a deep breath to calm down a bit before speaking slowly, “Of course,what I want is not for everyone to suddenly have the courage to fight. I know something like that isillogical.”

Noticing that things had calmed down, the teachers present, Cai Jingyi, and Chen He secretly let out asigh of relief. As for Liang Peng, he only snorted and remained silent as he listened to what Bai Zeminhad to say about it.

Shangguan Bing Xue nodded and indicated with her eyes for him to continue explaining his idea. If BaiZemin had asked everyone to fight in order to eat, then even if the strength of the group fell she wouldhave no choice but to ask him to left alone. After all, very few people were willing to risk their lives andthe human mentality had not yet completely changed to adapt to the new world.

Bai Zemin continued: “My idea is simple… After we replace food, the students and teachers who areunable to fight will carry it. In addition, when we look for clothes or other useful items, these people willalso help… I also think it would be good to get some beds. In short, whatever is logistical support anddoes not require risking life and death, all those who want to eat their fill should cooperate.”

After a moment of silence, the handsome Chen He was the first to open his mouth, “I agree. That ideais good enough.”

“I agree as well.” Shangguan Bing Xue finally nodded in perfect accord.

In the end, everyone accepted Bai Zemin’s suggestion. While some of them might not be satisfied,three of the four fighters in the group had already made up their minds so those without fighting abilitycould only accept their fate.

When the new rules were announced, many people complained loudly and some of them even beganto curse. However, when Bai Zemin said that those who disagreed and all those who continued to

make a fuss should leave the group, all the “courage” of these people disappeared completely and noone else was willing to complain for fear to be kicked out of the group.

What a joke! As weak as they were, being expelled from the group and the protection of those with realpower was no different to courting death!

Bai Zemin looked at the more than a hundred people present and an idea flashed in his mind. It was abit annoying, but in the long run, it might be his best help in replaceing his loved ones.

With this in mind, he stepped forward and said aloud, “I know many of you are afraid of being scratchedby those zombies as most of you here have probably seen the aftermath… However, you don’t need tobe so scared! Those zombies are even slower than a normal person like you, so imagine how slowthey are for people like me and everyone else who have leveled up by absorbing the enemy’s SoulPower!”

The eyes of several people had a strange glint in them upon hearing this. Indeed, zombies were slowand if one was careful, even a normal person could kill a zombie. However, it was not easy toovercome the fear, let alone knowing that zombies were not the only danger.

But Bai Zemin’s next words changed things: “I will personally hunt zombies, cut off their legs and arms,even crush their jaws! You just need to have the courage to pick up a weapon and finish them off togain Soul Power and level up!”

People began to murmur and stare at each other as they argued amongst themselves. Clearly, therewere many tempted by the offer. After all, without their hands, legs, and without their teeth; the zombieswere nothing to fear.

None of them were really willing to die and there were many of them who didn’t want to do moreembarrassing jobs for fear of fighting. However, at the end of the day, fear was one of the strongesthuman emotions.

After a minute, no one stood up and everyone was silent.

While Bai Zemin’s words were tempting, no one was willing to risk their lives just like that. Even if thezombies were incapacitated by him, there were still terrifying insects and other horrible beasts thatcould emerge from anywhere at any time. Asking them to pick up a weapon to fight after living almosttwenty years or more in a peaceful society under the protection of rules, laws, and their parents. wasno different than asking them to walk naked down the street in broad daylight; it might sound easy, butno one in their right mind was willing to do something like that.

However, these people forgot that sense had already disappeared and that the mentality of the past nolonger applied in this new world. Unfortunately, by the time many of them realized this fact, it would betoo late to regret it.

Liang Peng folded his arms and looked at the scene with a mocking expression.

Chen He was casual, unconcerned about what was happening in front of him.

Shangguan Bing Xue had a strange glint in her eyes and looked at the women present seeminglythinking about something.

“Since you are unwilling, then you can continue to be trash for the rest of your lives.” Bai Zemin lookedat the crowd coldly and snorted. However, just when he was about to turn around and leave, a softvoice took him by surprise.

“I’ll go with you.”

Bai Zemin looked to the side and saw the pretty but normally shy and fearful Cai Jingyi looking at himwith a serious expression.

She gritted her teeth softly and continued, “Please let me go with you to kill zombies.”

Cai Jingyi was a smart woman and knew that although they were currently being protected, if aproblem that Shangguan Bing Xue, Chen He, Liang Peng, or Bai Zemin could not solve arose, just byhaving strength of her own her chances of surviving in this world would be higher; otherwise, it wasonly a matter of time before she would die for some reason or another.

When a rock fell on a silent lake, waves always appeared no matter how small they were.

“Let me come with you, I want to kill zombies too!” A young man around 19 years old, wearing glassesand whose body was thin stood up and took a step forward.

“I also want to level up. Let me go with you please!” Another young man in his 20s stood up and lookedat Bai Zemin with determination.

“I’ll go with you.” A pretty female student with some freckles also stood up while gritting her teeth.Although her body shivered with fear, she still decided to step forward.

Only four of them huh… It will do for now. Bai Zemin thought silently and a smile raised softly on hisface as his eyes scanned the four people who had the courage to step forward.

Sometimes, human beings just needed a little push to dare to do things they normally would havenever even thought to do.
