138: Chapter 138 The Underworld Boss's Benefactor 4

The contrast between the "fallen young master" and the "base leader" was truly stark.

In just half a year, the former superior had fallen, while the former subordinate had risen, and their identities had undergone a complete reversal.

Regarding this, a noncommittal smile appeared on Lu Zhan's face, and a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes; he had to admit, this Male Protagonist halo was truly powerful!

He had not yet seen Leng Yan since arriving, and he didn't know how much the other had changed, so it was inevitable that he couldn't quite fathom the other's thoughts.

But Lu Zhan firmly believed one thing: Leng Yan's love for him would absolutely not change, otherwise he wouldn't have developed a blackening value.

And as long as this love remained, he would be in an invincible position; as for eliminating the blackening value, it would just take some means and time.

With his thoughts sorted, Lu Zhan's mindset returned to calm, the indifference in his eyes quietly fading away, revealing instead a bit of the arrogance of a young master from a prominent family.

He slightly raised his head and looked around; the entire basement was dirty and messy, with trash thrown to one side, and in some hidden corner, it was emitting waves of stench.

Such an environment was truly unbearable for Lu Zhan, his brows tightly furrowed, the disgust in his eyes almost overflowing, but he happened to have no Superpower, so to save his life, he could only helplessly choose to stay here.

He glanced sideways at the others; they were all listless, huddled and sitting against the wall in a sorry state, their faces full of fear and despair, looking even more miserable than him.

Wang Xiao noticed Lu Zhan's gaze and moved slightly closer to Lu Zhan, his eyes full of panic and fear, unable to help but lower his voice to speak.

"Young Master Lu, we have been staying in this basement for more than ten days already. No matter how much we save, the food and water are almost gone. Do you think Wang Tong and the other two will really bring people to rescue us?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhan was actually a bit flustered inside, but on the surface, he didn't reveal it at all; even in such a situation, he still maintained that final bit of dignity.

His expression darkened slightly, and he replied with a tone carrying a bit of impatience.

"I am not them, how would I know? At worst, it's just death; what is there to be afraid of?"

Wang Xiao had followed Lu Zhan for many years and knew his temperament very well.

Therefore, even in the apocalypse, facing Lu Zhan like this, he was still a bit apprehensive deep down and didn't dare to say anything more, moving back to his own spot to sit down.

Lu Zhan's expression was calm; he slightly bent his right leg and closed his eyes to rest.

At the same moment, five or six carefully modified armored vehicles were speeding towards this abandoned city.

Strangely, the zombies wandering around not only didn't swarm up, but instead seemed to be afraid of something, avoiding them from afar.

Inside one of the cars, Leng Yan sat straight in the back seat, his hands folded and gripped tightly, his whole body radiating a powerful aura that commanded respect without anger.

His handsome face seemed meticulously carved, with distinct contours; his attractive sword-like brows were tightly furrowed, and under his straight nose, his thin lips were slightly pursed, revealing a cold and stern look.

"Pi Hou, how much longer until we arrive?"

The voice was deep and cold, yet faintly revealing anxiety.

"Boss, at our current speed, we will be able to arrive in at most half an hour."

The thin, small man in the driver's seat replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Leng Yan's brows slightly relaxed, but his eyes were still full of worry and impatience.

Even though the Young Master had treated him that way before, he still loved the Young Master in his heart and still couldn't let go to this day; moreover, as time passed, this obsession became increasingly intense.

He had witnessed the Young Master's arrogance and domineering nature; his food, clothing, housing, and transportation had to be the best, and he did things entirely according to his mood and preferences, putting no one in his eyes, and could drive people into desperate straits in the midst of laughter.

Yet it was this very Young Master who was uniquely gentle and special towards him alone.

He had pulled him out of the quagmire and given him a new life; how could he not be moved by such a good Young Master?

Therefore, that day, looking at the Young Master who was sleeping defenselessly in front of him, he couldn't suppress the desire in his heart, and in a moment of madness, he offended the Young Master.

He had thought that after the Young Master woke up, he would be very angry and would whip and punish him, but he didn't expect the Young Master to be so ruthless, actually using his relatives to threaten him and directly cutting off all contact with him.

It just so happened that the Young Master's status was extremely high; at that time, he couldn't afford to provoke him at all, and he didn't dare to disobey the Young Master's words.

Therefore, he could only deliberately ignore all news about the Young Master and focus on developing his own power, hoping that one day, he would be able to trap the Young Master by his side without any scruples.

As for mutual affection and willingness, given the Young Master's disgust and loathing for him, that was absolutely impossible, and Leng Yan had never thought about it.

When the apocalypse arrived, Leng Yan realized that the Superpower he had awakened was particularly powerful, and there were two of them, so he knew that his opportunity had arrived.

After giving a few instructions to let his subordinates stabilize the situation, he headed straight for the manor where the Young Master lived.

This was both out of consideration for the Young Master's safety and because of his long-standing obsession; he intended to take the Young Master to his side to look after him, regardless of whether the Young Master was willing or not.

But he found nothing; the Young Master was not in the manor, and the entire manor was empty, without a single person.

He hurriedly had his subordinates investigate, but unfortunately, someone had secretly wiped away the traces, and with the arrival of the apocalypse, it was chaotic, and for a time, there was no way to investigate.

After searching in vain, he sought out the Young Master's father, Li Huang, but the other's attitude was extremely arrogant, and he refused to tell him.

Li Huang's attitude made Leng Yan suspicious; he had his subordinates keep a close watch on Li Huang, only to discover that the other had another woman and son.

Leng Yan then concluded that the Young Master must have been imprisoned and controlled by him; even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs, so Leng Yan didn't think in that direction.

He just hardened his heart, competing with him for control of the base while kidnapping Li Lian, forcing Li Huang to speak.

Li Huang united with the Mu Family, but could only barely resist; coupled with his son being held by Leng Yan, he could only unwillingly make a request to divide the base's power into three.

After Leng Yan agreed, he learned of the Young Master's whereabouts from Li Huang's mouth; at that time, his eyes turned red, and he wished he could kill that scum immediately.

But killing Li Huang would take time, and he dared not delay any longer; the Young Master was trapped, life or death unknown, and he had to head to City A immediately, even though so many days had passed, the hope of the Young Master being alive was already extremely slim.

On the way to City A, Leng Yan had only one thought in his heart: if the Young Master was really gone, he would not continue to live alone; of course, before dying, he would also clean up some trash.

Perhaps heaven was not unkind to him and had finally shown some favor.

When he was already full of despair, he met a few familiar faces; Leng Yan recognized at a glance that these were people who often hung out with the Young Master, and immediately stopped them to ask.

Learning from them that the Young Master was still alive was undoubtedly the best news for Leng Yan; the heavy stone hanging in his heart finally fell, and for a moment, he was overwhelmed with both grief and joy, a clear tear involuntarily sliding from the corner of his eye.

However, when he heard that the Young Master had already been trapped in the basement for more than ten days, his whole heart felt as if it had been crushed, aching.

Leng Yan didn't even dare to imagine how the Young Master, who had been pampered and precious since childhood, could endure such suffering.

He hurriedly took the three of them and sped all the way towards the abandoned city they had mentioned.

Having traveled for two days without sleep or rest, he was finally close at hand; in half an hour, he would be able to see the Young Master.

Thinking of this, besides worry, a hint of excitement inevitably surged in Leng Yan's heart.

Mental Energy constantly probed outward, driving away the nearby zombies.

His gaze was tightly locked on the front, as if he had already seen the basement where Lu Zhan was.
