67: Persecuted Spatial Ability User 2

A flicker of hope flashed in Ling Fei's eyes.

Just as she was about to cry out, Qin Jiuge suddenly reached out and covered her mouth, pulling her behind the nearby ruins.

"Don't be in a hurry,"

Qin Jiuge leaned into her ear, his voice low and dangerous.

"The good show has only just begun."

"Go tell Chen Feng that you've found a powerful expert with a Space Ability,"

"who is willing to join the base with supplies, and tell him to come to the entrance personally to receive me."

"Remember, don't play any tricks; otherwise, the effects of the heart-eroding pill will trigger early."

Ling Fei nodded. Qin Jiuge released his hand, and she took a deep breath, smoothing her clothes.

She tried her best to look normal before walking toward the base entrance.

Seeing Ling Fei, the guards immediately raised their guns.

"Halt! What are you doing?"

"I'm Ling Fei! Chen Feng's girlfriend!"

"I've found supplies, and I've also found a powerful expert with a Space Ability,"

"who is willing to join the base. Tell Chen Feng to come out quickly!"

Ling Fei shouted loudly, a hint of urgency in her tone.

The guards recognized Ling Fei and quickly lowered their guns. One of them ran inside to report.

Before long, a tall man wearing a black leather jacket came out with a group of people; it was Chen Feng.

Seeing Ling Fei, a look of "concern" immediately appeared on his Face.

"Feifei, are you alright? I heard you disappeared and was worried to death! Where are the supplies? Where is that Space Ability user?"

Ling Fei pointed behind the ruins.

"He's right there. He said he wants you to receive him personally, or else he won't come in."

Chen Feng frowned, feeling a bit impatient, but thinking of the value of a Space Ability, he suppressed his anger.

He gave a look to the people behind him, signaling them to be ready, and then followed Ling Fei behind the ruins.

Just as they turned the corner, Chen Feng saw Qin Jiuge standing there.

Qin Jiuge was dressed in black combat gear, standing tall with a cold gaze.

He was playing with a space token in his hand, and his whole body emitted an Aura that made people afraid to approach.

"You're the one with the Space Ability?"

Chen Feng sized Qin Jiuge up, his tone carrying a hint of scrutiny.

"I heard you're willing to join our base with supplies?"

Qin Jiuge didn't answer, but instead pointed to the empty ground nearby.

"The supplies are all there; see for yourself."

Chen Feng signaled his subordinates to go check. They opened what Qin Jiuge called "supplies,"

which were actually just a small portion of compressed biscuits and mineral water that Qin Jiuge had brought out intentionally, yet it already made Chen Feng's eyes light up.

He became even more certain that there must be many more supplies in Qin Jiuge's space!

"Very good,"

A smile appeared on Chen Feng's Face, and his tone became enthusiastic.

"Brother, welcome to our West City Base! I am the leader here, Chen Feng. From now on, we are family!"

"Family?"

Qin Jiuge sneered and looked at Chen Feng with cold eyes.

"I have no interest in being family with an ungrateful wolf."

Chen Feng's smile froze on his Face. He hadn't expected Qin Jiuge to give him so little Face.

His expression darkened.

"Brother, what do you mean by that? Our base is kindly taking you in, and this is how you speak?"

"Taking me in?"

Qin Jiuge took a step forward, his presence fully unleashed, making it hard for Chen Feng and the people behind him to breathe.

"I'm telling you, I didn't come here to join you. I came to collect a debt."

His gaze fell on Ling Fei. Ling Fei was so scared she was trembling all over, hiding behind Chen Feng.

Chen Feng's expression changed, and he immediately understood something.

He shoved Ling Fei out, his voice cold.

"Feifei, did you do something to him?"

Ling Fei shook her head frantically.

"No! I didn't do anything! It's him... he threatened me and even fed me poison!"

"Poison?"

Chen Feng's eyes narrowed as he looked at Qin Jiuge.

"You dare lay a hand on my person?"

"Your person?"

Qin Jiuge laughed, an extremely cruel laugh.

"Chen Feng, do you still remember that old man whose supplies you stole and whom you pushed to feed the zombies three months ago?"

"And that woman whose ability you forcibly stripped and left in the wilderness to die last month?"

Chen Feng's Face turned pale instantly. Those were all the dirty deeds he had done, and he thought no one knew!

"You... who exactly are you?"

Chen Feng took a step back, his hand moving to the gun at his waist.

"Who I am isn't important,"

Qin Jiuge's gaze grew colder and colder.

"What's important is that what you owe me, and what you owe those people you killed—today, it's time to pay it back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Jiuge suddenly moved.

His speed was incredibly fast. Chen Feng didn't even see his movements before he felt a pain in his wrist.

The gun had already been snatched away by Qin Jiuge and was pointed at his head.

"Don't move,"

Qin Jiuge's voice carried a bone-chilling coldness.

"Move one more inch, and I'll blow your head off."

The people behind Chen Feng were too scared to move. They hadn't expected Qin Jiuge to be so powerful!

"You... don't be impulsive!"

Chen Feng forced himself to stay calm.

"Let's talk this through! What do you want? Supplies? Power? I can give it all to you!"

"What do I want?"

Qin Jiuge looked down at the fear in Chen Feng's eyes, a cruel arc curling at the corner of his mouth.

"I want you and Ling Fei to wish you were dead."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked Chen Feng's knee hard.

A crisp crack sounded.

With that sound, Chen Feng's kneecap was shattered. He let out a miserable scream and fell to his knees.

"Chen Feng!"

Ling Fei screamed and tried to help him, but Qin Jiuge kicked her to the ground, leaving her in too much pain to stand up.

Qin Jiuge held the gun and aimed at Chen Feng's other leg.

With another smash of the gun butt, there was the same crisp sound, and Chen Feng's other knee was also ruined.

He rolled on the ground in agony, cold sweat pouring down, but he couldn't even make a sound.

Qin Jiuge had already used Devilish Qi to seal his throat.

"Now, let's settle the score properly."

Qin Jiuge crouched down, grabbed Chen Feng's chin, and looked at him with cold eyes.

"When you were stripping others of their abilities, did you ever think you would have a day like this?"

"When you pushed others to feed the zombies, did you ever think you would be torn apart by zombies yourself?"

Seeing the killing intent in Qin Jiuge's eyes, Chen Feng's Soul was Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. He shook his head desperately but couldn't say anything.

Qin Jiuge stood up and looked at the dumbfounded guards at the base entrance, his voice booming.

"From today on, West City Base belongs to me."

"Those who don't want to die, obey obediently. Anyone who dares to resist will end up just like him."

The guards looked at each other, but no one dared to move.

Chen Feng was their leader, and now that the leader had been beaten like this, how could they dare to resist?

Qin Jiuge nodded in satisfaction and pointed at two guards.

"Drag him into the base and lock him in the dungeon. And her,"

He pointed at Ling Fei.

"Drag her in too, and lock her up with him."

The guards hurriedly stepped forward, dragging the screaming Chen Feng and Ling Fei into the base.

Qin Jiuge followed behind, entering this Hell where the Original Owner had once been imprisoned and tortured.

Now, this place would become a purgatory for that wretched couple.

Entering the base, Qin Jiuge immediately saw the so-called "Savior" statue in the plaza.

It was something Chen Feng and Ling Fei had specifically commissioned to beautify their image.

Qin Jiuge sneered and waved his hand. Black Devilish Qi instantly coiled around the statue.

With a crack, the statue collapsed with a bang, shattering into countless pieces.

Hearing the commotion, the people in the base ran out to see.

When they saw Chen Feng and Ling Fei being dragged away, and the powerful Qin Jiuge standing in the center of the plaza, they were all too scared to speak.

"I know many of you have been deceived and exploited by Chen Feng and Ling Fei,"

Qin Jiuge's voice spread throughout the base.

"From today on, those bitter days are over."

"But let me give you fair warning: anyone who dares to emulate them—plotting schemes or bullying the weak—will only end up worse than them."

In the crowd, some began to whisper, while others showed excited expressions.

They had long been fed up with Chen Feng and Ling Fei's rule, but they had only dared to feel angry without speaking out.

Now that Qin Jiuge had defeated Chen Feng, perhaps they really could live a good life.

Qin Jiuge ignored their discussions and walked straight toward the base's control room.

He needed to take control of the base's defense System to prevent people from other bases from causing trouble, and more importantly, he wanted to "take good care" of Chen Feng and Ling Fei.

Arriving at the dungeon, Qin Jiuge opened the cell door and saw Chen Feng and Ling Fei curled up in a corner, their Faces pale.

Chen Feng's legs were already swollen like steamed buns, twitching incessantly from the pain.

Ling Fei's Face was turning green as the effects of the heart-eroding pill began to take hold. She clutched her stomach, her forehead covered in cold sweat.

"How does it feel?"

Qin Jiuge walked in, his tone mocking.

"The taste of the heart-eroding pill isn't easy to bear, is it?"

Ling Fei looked up, her eyes filled with hatred.

"You monster! Even as a ghost, I won't let you off!"

"As a ghost?" Qin Jiuge laughed,

"Do you think you're even qualified to become a ghost?"

As he spoke, he took a bottle of red liquid from his space and threw it in front of Ling Fei.

"This is a relief agent for the heart-eroding pill. It can temporarily lessen the pain. Do you want it?"

Ling Fei looked at the bottle of red liquid, her eyes filled with struggle.

She hated Qin Jiuge, but the pain of the heart-eroding pill was too torturous; she really couldn't take it anymore.

"You want it? Fine."

Qin Jiuge crouched down and pointed at Chen Feng.

"Go, bite off his tongue. As long as you bite it off, this relief agent is yours."

Ling Fei was stunned. She looked at Chen Feng, then at the relief agent, a look of hesitation appearing on her Face.

Chen Feng was also terrified. He shook his head desperately, his eyes filled with pleading.

He never imagined that Ling Fei would actually use such a cruel hand against him for a bottle of relief agent!

"What? You don't dare?"

Qin Jiuge's tone was cold.

"Then continue to suffer. After all, you're the one dying of pain, not me."

The pain of the heart-eroding pill grew more intense. Ling Fei felt as if her internal organs were being pierced by countless needles.

She could no longer hold back and suddenly lunged at Chen Feng, biting down hard on his tongue.

"Argh—!"

Chen Feng let out a muffled scream of pain. Blood instantly flowed from his mouth, staining Ling Fei's Face red.

He struggled desperately, but because his legs were broken, he couldn't push Ling Fei away at all.

Ling Fei gritted her teeth and used all her strength to forcefully bite off Chen Feng's tongue!

Her mouth was full of blood, and her eyes were filled with madness as she looked at Qin Jiuge.

"I did it! Give me the relief agent!"

Watching this scene, a cruel smile curled on Qin Jiuge's lips.

"Very good. That's a good girl."

He threw the relief agent to Ling Fei. She immediately grabbed it, unscrewed the cap, and drank it all in one gulp.

Once the relief agent was down, the pain of the heart-eroding pill indeed lessened significantly.

Ling Fei slumped on the ground, panting heavily, a look of having survived a disaster on her Face.

As for Chen Feng, he fainted from the excessive blood loss and intense pain.

Qin Jiuge stood up and looked at Ling Fei's pathetic state, his tone cold.

"This is only the beginning. In the days to come, I will make sure you experience what it means to wish you were dead."

He turned and walked out of the dungeon, instructing the guards.

"Feed them a little swill every day. Don't let them die."

"Additionally, bring everyone in the base who was persecuted by Chen Feng and Ling Fei here so they can also 'see' this wretched couple."

The guards hurriedly nodded, not daring to be the least bit negligent.

Over the next few days, Qin Jiuge began to reorganize the base.

He took out all the supplies Chen Feng had hoarded and distributed them fairly to the people in the base.

He repaired the base's defense System, strengthened patrols,

and also selected some capable people with good character to form a new management team.

The people in the base became more and more convinced by Qin Jiuge, and the originally oppressive atmosphere became lively.

Meanwhile, Chen Feng and Ling Fei in the dungeon lived a life like Hell.

Every day, the guards would feed them spoiled food and dirty water. Because Chen Feng had no tongue, he could only lick it directly with his mouth, looking extremely pathetic.

Ling Fei had to rely on the relief agent Qin Jiuge occasionally gave her to get through the days. Once she ran out, the pain of the heart-eroding pill would make her wish she were dead.

Even more cruel was that Qin Jiuge would have those persecuted by Chen Feng and Ling Fei visit the dungeon every day for a 'tour.'

Some spat at them, some hit them with sticks, and others just stood aside, watching them coldly with eyes full of hatred.

Chen Feng and Ling Fei had completely lost their dignity. They were like two stray dogs, despised and tortured by everyone.

The effects of Ling Fei's heart-eroding pill grew heavier. Her internal organs began to rot, and her body became weaker and weaker, struggling in pain every day.

Chen Feng's leg injury became infected, and his entire leg began to turn black and rot, emitting a foul stench that even the guards were unwilling to go near.

This day, Qin Jiuge came to the dungeon again.

By now, Chen Feng and Ling Fei were on their last breaths, lacking even the strength to lift their heads.

"It seems you've been having quite the good time."

Qin Jiuge's voice was mocking.

As he spoke, he took a dagger from his space and threw it in front of Chen Feng.

"I'll give you a chance. Kill her, and I'll let you die a quick death."

Chen Feng looked at the dagger, then at the dying Ling Fei beside him, a flicker of struggle in his eyes.

He hated Ling Fei. He hated her for biting off his tongue for the relief agent, and he hated her for falling into this end with him.

Ultimately, the desire to survive overcame everything.

Chen Feng used all his strength to crawl over and pick up the dagger, stabbing it toward Ling Fei!

Ling Fei was startled. She hadn't expected Chen Feng to actually attack her!

She wanted to dodge, but it was too late. The dagger stabbed directly into her chest.

Blood instantly stained Ling Fei's clothes. She looked at Chen Feng, her eyes filled with disbelief and hatred.

Finally, her head slumped, and she stopped breathing entirely.

Chen Feng looked at Ling Fei's corpse, a distorted smile appearing on his Face. He was finally free!

But at that moment, Qin Jiuge suddenly stepped on Chen Feng's hand, and the dagger fell to the ground.

"Who said I would let you go if you killed her?"

Qin Jiuge's voice was ice-cold.

"I just wanted to see how heartless and ungrateful you wretched couple really are."

"Now, your utility is gone too."

As he spoke, he opened a space door, and the roar of zombies came from within.

Several hungry zombies rushed out of the space and lunged at Chen Feng.

"No—!"

Chen Feng let out a muffled scream but was instantly submerged by the zombies.

He could feel his body being torn apart bit by bit by the zombies. That pain was countless times stronger than his broken legs or his bitten tongue!

Qin Jiuge stood aside, coldly watching Chen Feng be devoured by the zombies until he was completely still, before closing the space door.

Having dealt with Chen Feng and Ling Fei, Qin Jiuge walked out of the dungeon.

Sunlight fell upon him. The Original Owner's wish was fulfilled.

Next, he would establish his own order in this apocalypse, allowing those who were kind to live well.

He looked toward the distance, his gaze firm. This apocalypse would be different because of his arrival.

And those who dared to stand in his way would only end up like Chen Feng and Ling Fei—wishing they were dead.
