92: Chapter 92 At the Prince's Household

As Ye Fan turned around, his familiar face was instantly revealed to everyone.

"Hmm, wait! Look, everyone, doesn't this person look familiar to you?"

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

The people who had been arguing among themselves immediately turned their gazes toward Ye Fan in the distance the moment they heard this voice.

"Hey! You know, now that you mention it, he really does look familiar."

"Yeah, really! I keep feeling like I've seen him somewhere before."

"That's right, I have the same feeling."

"Who on earth is this guy?"

As Ye Fan got closer and closer to the group, they were finally able to clearly see his true face.

In that very instant.

An incredulous gasp rang out, "Look, everyone! Isn't that person... isn't that the Boss?"

Everyone hurriedly rubbed their eyes and looked at the figure they had been discussing.

Their faces were filled with shock and excitement.

"Holy crap! It... it really is him! This..."

"Amazing! It really is the Boss. I thought I was seeing things!"

"See! I told you that was the Boss, but you didn't believe me and argued with me."

"Hehehe, my mistake, my mistake!"

"The Boss is awesome!"

Once they confirmed that the person was indeed Ye Fan, everyone immediately dropped whatever they were doing.

They flocked toward Ye Fan, surrounding him tightly.

Praises erupted from the crowd.

"Boss is the best!"

"Boss is heroic... Boss, you're too strong!"

"..."

After a long while, the crowd finally quieted down.

Their faces were full of awe and recognition for Ye Fan.

It was as if they regarded Ye Fan as their god.

As their faith.

And all of this was because of the scene that had just occurred.

A scene that made them look at him with new eyes, a scene they would never forget.

After settling everyone down, Ye Fan called Li Hao to his side. After explaining the situation, he took Li Hao and slowly headed toward the direction of the Wang Family.

He wanted to see how Family Head Wang was doing.

Had he reached the Third Order?

The master intended to cooperate with Ye Fan and his group.

This was also the purpose of Ye Fan's trip.

After traveling for a while, the two finally arrived at this familiar area.

However, Ye Fan was a bit puzzled along the way; they hadn't encountered a single zombie, which was very strange.

This really shouldn't be the case!

Where had all the zombies in this area gone?

Could it be that they had all been summoned and gathered near Jiangcheng University?

As soon as Ye Fan and his companion arrived at the Wang Family villa area, they encountered several figures; these were all survivors who had joined the Wang Family.

Among them were a few familiar faces.

These people were exactly Zhao Ergou and his group, whom Ye Fan had encountered when they first came here.

Upon seeing Ye Fan and Li Hao, Zhao Ergou immediately smiled, "Yo, isn't this little brother Ye Fan? Long time no see!"

"Long time no see."

"What are you doing here? Is there something up?"

"Yeah!" Ye Fan smiled, nodded, and then slowly said, "To tell you the truth, we came this time to keep an appointment with Family Head Wang."

"Oh! Is that so? I thought you weren't making it out there and wanted to join our Wang Family forces! Looks like I overthought it."

Ye Fan smiled faintly and didn't continue the previous topic. Instead, he said directly, "Brother Gou, please help lead the way and take us to see Family Head Wang."

"Hey, small matter! Since you're here to keep an appointment with the Family Head, how could I, as a subordinate, refuse?"

Zhao Ergou slowly reached out, patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, and laughed.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Gou."

"Sigh, no trouble at all. Let's go!"

Zhao Ergou gave a few instructions to the people beside him, then led Ye Fan and Li Hao toward the Wang Family mansion.

Along the way.

Ye Fan and his companion encountered two or three patrol teams.

The number of people in each team was similar to Zhao Ergou's team.

Seeing this, Ye Fan slowly asked Zhao Ergou, who was leading the way, "By the way, Brother Gou, I see there are quite a few patrol teams! Are there a lot of people in the Wang Family now?"

Zhao Ergou nodded quickly, "That's right. You might not know, little brother, but in this period, quite a few more survivors have joined the Wang Family."

Ye Fan paused for a few seconds after hearing this and asked again, "Then I wonder how many survivors the Wang Family has now?"

"Hmm! The number of survivors recruited by the Wang Family is quite large. Including the previous ones, there are about one or two thousand people!"

Ye Fan and Li Hao were a bit shocked to hear this.

There were too many survivors joining the Wang Family!

You have to know, even with the Li Family and the Jiang Family allied, their total number of people was barely over three thousand.

Yet, the Wang Family alone actually had over two thousand survivors.

How on earth did they manage that?

Li Hao, beside Ye Fan, couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah! That many?"

Li Hao found it hard to believe.

The Wang Family was too impressive!

"Yeah, but the rewards offered by the Wang Family were too tempting!" Zhao Ergou nodded, looking into the distance, his tone very calm.

"What rewards?"

Li Hao couldn't help but ask.

Of course, Ye Fan was also a bit puzzled.

What kind of reward had the Wang Family offered to attract so many survivors to join?

"All survivors who join the Wang Family will unconditionally receive one month of food support."

"Ah! Wouldn't that attract a lot of freeloaders just to scam that one month of food?"

"When it was first implemented, there were indeed many such survivors."

"But later, to avoid such people, Family Head Wang set a prerequisite when screening survivors who wanted to join the Wang Family."

"Only by agreeing to this condition can one join the Wang Family."

Ye Fan and Li Hao looked at each other.

Then, their gazes fell on Zhao Ergou beside them, showing looks of anticipation.

Zhao Ergou continued, "And that condition is, after joining the Wang Family, you cannot leave for at least three months."

"Then what if they insist on leaving?" Li Hao asked back.

The next second.

As soon as Li Hao's words fell.

The tone of Zhao Ergou, who was leading the way, suddenly became sharp.

One word escaped his mouth in an instant.

"Death!"

"Once you agree to this condition, if you break the oath during that period, Family Head Wang will have you executed."

After hearing Zhao Ergou's words, Li Hao was stunned for a moment, an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Ah! This... this is too cruel!"

"There's no other way! In this world, as you know, zombies are rampant everywhere. Food is the only life for us survivors; every bit used is a bit less.

And such an important resource, how can it be given to those who want something for nothing!

In this world, everything is about cause and effect. Since you chose to gain without effort, why should others give you anything for free!"

"Yeah!" Ye Fan and Li Hao nodded quickly, agreeing, "That is indeed the logic."

There is no free lunch in the world.

In such a harsh world, if you want to be that kind of person.

Then you must pay a price.

And this price is, naturally, life.

Facing such people, this is indeed how it should be!

"What a Family Head Wang, ruthless enough!"

This sentence was Ye Fan's assessment of him in his heart after hearing what Zhao Ergou said.

In this time since the apocalypse descended.

Only by being ruthless enough can one survive.

Immediately after, Ye Fan learned from Zhao Ergou about the number of Ability Users the Wang Family currently possessed.

Up to now.

The Wang Family already had more than thirty Ability Users.

But only three of them had reached the Second Order.

Compared to before, there was no change at all.

Of course, this was all within Ye Fan's expectations.

In the living room on the second floor of the Wang Family mansion.

Ye Fan and Li Hao walked in slowly, and what came into view were the two familiar figures from before.

Family Head Wang, Patriarch Wang Quan, and his wife.

The moment Ye Fan saw them, he spoke first, "Family Head Wang, long time no see! How have you been lately?"

Upon hearing Ye Fan's voice, Patriarch Wang Quan turned around instantly and fixed his gaze on the two of them.

Seeing that the speaker was indeed Ye Fan and his companion, he immediately stood up from the sofa, a smile on his face, "Long time no see! Come, come, sit down!"

For some reason, this time, when Patriarch Wang Quan faced Ye Fan and his companion, he was like a different person, appearing very enthusiastic.

This also made a trace of imperceptible doubt appear on Ye Fan's face.

Of course, Ye Fan didn't take it to heart and didn't stand on ceremony at all.

He slowly came to the sofa and sat down.

As soon as Ye Fan sat down, with a faint smile on his face, he spoke first, getting straight to the point.

"I wonder if you, Family Head, have successfully broken through to the Third Order during this time."

After hearing Ye Fan's words, Patriarch Wang Quan's expression instantly became a bit serious, and he sighed deeply.

"Sigh! I lost this bet."

Ye Fan smiled faintly, reached out to pick up the water that had just been poured on the table, took a sip, and said nothing.

After saying this, Patriarch Wang Quan was silent for a few seconds, then showed a serious expression.

"If you can really help me break through to the Third Order, then I am willing to lead my three thousand brothers to join you; that is not impossible."

"Does Family Head Wang keep his word?" Ye Fan placed the water cup steadily on the table, looked at Patriarch Wang Quan in front of him, and said calmly.

"As long as you can do it, little brother, I, Patriarch Wang Quan, will never go back on my word."

"Alright, it's a deal!" Ye Fan didn't waste any more words, tapped the table in front of him lightly, and smiled calmly.

"Hahaha, good, good, good, straightforward!"

Seeing Ye Fan so straightforward, Patriarch Wang Quan burst into laughter.

"Since that's the case, I won't hold anything back. I can help you, Family Head, break through to the Third Order right now."

As he spoke, two Third Order zombie crystal cores instantly appeared in Ye Fan's hand.

Originally, only one Third Order zombie crystal core was needed.

But just in case, Ye Fan took out two Third Order zombie crystal cores at once.

And the so-called special zombie crystal core, its special feature lies in the fact that it does not contain any special attributes.

Yet it possesses various special attributes.

Simply put, this special zombie crystal core is an all-purpose zombie crystal core.

No matter what attribute of Supernatural Ability the Ability User has awakened, it can generate the corresponding attribute, enabling them to meet the corresponding requirements and thus break through the barrier.

This is also the reason for its special nature.

Ye Fan glanced at the two Third Order zombie crystal cores in his hand, then handed them to Patriarch Wang Quan.

Patriarch Wang Quan quickly took the two zombie crystal cores from Ye Fan's hand and examined them, his face full of confusion.

Because to him, the two zombie crystal cores in his hand looked exactly the same as ordinary zombie crystal cores.

At this moment, he was really a bit suspicious: was Ye Fan trying to deceive him?

Thinking carefully! It didn't seem necessary. What benefit would he get from deceiving him?

Patriarch Wang Quan was still a bit unwilling to give up. He moved his gaze away from the two zombie crystal cores in his hand and fixed it on Ye Fan in front of him. Looking at Ye Fan with confusion, he slowly asked to confirm, "You... are you sure that just these two ordinary zombie crystal cores can help me advance to the Third Order?"

"Yes, that's right!" Ye Fan nodded slowly, responded, and continued, "However, these two zombie crystal cores are not ordinary."

Patriarch Wang Quan frowned and looked at the two zombie crystal cores in his hand again, but still couldn't find any difference between them and ordinary zombie crystal cores.

"You'll know once you try," Ye Fan said with a smile.

"Forget it, I'll treat a dead horse as a living one!" Patriarch Wang Quan looked up at Ye Fan and thought to himself.

He quickly waved his hand to his wife beside him, signaling her to move further away from him, so that if any accident happened to him, he wouldn't accidentally hurt her.

The middle-aged woman beside Patriarch Wang Quan saw this and very sensibly quickly moved away from his side, a look of concern on her face.

She whispered to Patriarch Wang Quan, "Be careful."

The next moment, Patriarch Wang Quan no longer hesitated. He moved away from the sofa in the living room and sat cross-legged on the floor casually.

He quickly circulated his own blood qi, exerting it fiercely on the two zombie crystal cores he was tightly holding in his hand.

Crack! Two crisp sounds of glass breaking instantly came from his hands.

The two zombie crystal cores instantly shattered, and the energy essence inside gushed out in an instant, turning into bursts of pure energy mist.

Patriarch Wang Quan opened his mouth wide and took a sharp breath toward the pure energy mist in front of him, sucking the entire mass of pure energy mist into his mouth.

The moment the pure energy entered his body, it instantly spread out, surging into every cell of his body.

Every cell in Patriarch Wang Quan's body was evolving rapidly.

A moment later, Patriarch Wang Quan opened his eyes abruptly, and a terrifying Third Order energy fluctuation swept out from his body the moment he opened his eyes.

At this moment, Patriarch Wang Quan felt that his body was unprecedentedly relaxed and filled with infinite power.

"Hahaha... I did it, I did it!"

Immediately, bursts of intense laughter filled the entire living room.
