Chapter 38: Transformation

Lu An frowned as he scanned the nine people that surrounded him. He recognized all of them. They were the people Tang Shaoyang kicked out of the shelter.

He remembered them because he was the one who was responsible for throwing them out. Boss never asked him to kill them, so he just threw them far away from the shelter.

He even found two faces that were supposed to be not part of this group. These two faces were the people he saved on the other day.

"Ren! Zhuang! Are you betraying the Tang Empire?" Lu An's cold voice reverberated through the quiet night. He was pretty much ignoring Qi Zhengsheng.

The guy called Ren and Zhuang smirked, "Haha… betraying the Tang Empire? Don't be ridiculous, boy! We are not and never will be part of that ridiculous empire!"

Zhuang added with a ridiculing tone, "I never thought that there's a modern man dreaming to be an Emperor…"

Along with Zhuang and Ren, the other guys were also laughing.

Lu An merely scanned the group coldly as his hand moved to the sword's handle. Qi Zhengsheng noticed Lu An's movement and spoke, "Calm down, boy! We are here to talk, not fight!"

"We have a plan and offer for you, boy! Join us and help me capture the Changshou Hotel! I am not like your current Boss who is daydreaming to be an Emperor!"

"As the Mayor's son, I will rebuild the city and return the peace just like before. However, in order to execute my plan, I need Changshou Hotel!"

Qi Zhengsheng had heard the wonder of Changshou Hotel from Zhuang and Ren. It could provide you a talent, a shop that sold gears to defeat zombies.

In fact, he had planned this long time ago. Taking back the Changshou Hotel to him. He gathered the people that were kicked out and persuaded the survivors to join his side.

He planned to take the Changshou Hotel with a number, but his plan failed as he only managed to persuade Zhuang and Ren. The other guys refused to join.

Then, he thought of another plan. It was his father. If he had his father with him, his father could take that Changshou Hotel from Tang Shaoyang as Mayor. He believed many people would support his father.

And so, he left Zhuang and Ren to keep a watch on Tang Shaoyang's movement. Later, he found that the government office was packed with zombies. No, Qi Zhengsheng, in fact, had not reached the main office, but the way to the government office, he was blocked by incalculable zombies.

Qi Zhengsheng immediately abandoned his plan to meet his father. No, in fact, he believed no one was alive beyond the sea of zombies, including his father.

He tried to get back to his home, hoping his father would still be alive. But it was the same, the way to reach the official compound was blocked by another sea of zombies.

Qi Zhengsheng gave up and revised his plan. It was to take Changshou Establishment by force. In order to do so, he needed the key in his plan, Lu An.

Yes, as Tang Shaoyang's trusted man, he believed that he could make use of Lu An to help them. So, he came to Lu An to invite this guy into his team.

"As you see, Tang Shaoyang will not let me lead the survivors. The current Tang Shaoyang is taking advantage of the chaos. He rebelled against our country for establishing an absurd empire! He is an outlaw and when the military comes, he would be dead for sure!"

"So, rather than following Tang Shaoyang, I invite you to join us! We take the shelter from the tyrant's hand and survive together until the aid from the military comes!"

Qi Zhengsheng took a few steps forward and offered his hand for a handshake. He thought the young Lu An was easily swayed by his words.

The threat under the military and a label of rebellion, Qi Zhengsheng thought Lu An would follow him.

Lu An merely looked at Qi Zhengsheng emotionlessly. No words came out of his mouth.

Qi Zhengsheng thought Lu An was hesitating. He thought he only needed to give the last push to get Lu An under his wings.

"I heard you are quite strong amongst the survivors! For your contributions to helping me, I will put good words into the military. It's not impossible for you to be recruited and given a high position later!"

"Let me tell you a secret, my father is on the way to the military base to seek reinforcement. It will not be long before the military comes here, make your choice, boy!"

Qi Zhengsheng smirked as he said the last push. The people who followed falling to his words because of this. The reason why Zhuang and Ren joined him was also the same.

They were still afraid of the military's presence. Never crossed in their minds that the military had fallen. Even Qi Zhengsheng also thought so as he believed his country's military power.

"Unfortunately…" Lu An muttered as he took a step forward.

Qi Zhengsheng was the closest one to Lu An, so he heard that.

"Unfortunately??" Qi Zhengsheng muttered as he was puzzled by Lu An's word. But then his eyes were wide open as harrowing pain transmitted from his chest.

He looked down, a bright red sword pierced his chest and Lu An was the one who stabbed him. He looked up and pointed his finger to Lu An, "You… You… How d-dare…"

Keogh!

Qi Zhengsheng vomited out mouthful blood as he staggered a few steps back before he collapsed, facing the sky. His eyes were still wide open as he was clearly shocked that he would die like this.

Lu An's action shocked the other eight people. Zhuang and Ren rushed forward to check Qi Zhengsheng's condition while the other six were distancing themselves from Lu An.

None of them expected the youth they surrounded would just kill one of them without talking.

"Lu An! Are you insane? He is the only mayor's son and his family is from the military background!" Zhuang yelled at Lu An.

Meanwhile, Ren was trying to five the first aid by stopping the blood. Yet his effort went naught as Level 4 Qi Zhengsheng already died, his heart was pierced by a sword.

"Keke…" Lu An cackled as he returned Zhuang's furious gaze with his cold gaze, "When you are ready to kill someone, you have to get ready to be killed as well!"

After staying those words out, Lu An rushed toward Zhuang and Ren, "I saved you from zombies' pursuit! Boss sheltered in a safe place and gave you something to eat! And you dare to betray us!"

Whoosh!

Lu An's speed was just too fast for Zhuang and Ren. They could not react to his attack and the red sword sliced through their necks!

Spurt!

Just like a fountain, blood gushed out of Zhuang and Ren's bodies. Blood splashed around and rained down Lu An who was the closest to the bodies.

The six people who watched this scene trembled in fear. None of them expected the young Lu An would be this cruel, killing without batting eyes.

Then Lu An turned toward the other six people and spoke in a flat tone, "I won't let any hidden danger threaten the Tang Empire however small it is!"

"Guys, don't be afraid! He is alone, we can kill him!" One guy tried to encourage his friend. However, two of them did not listen to him as they immediately ran away.

Lu An did not let these people escape as he immediately chased after the two people.

Under the quiet night, screams resounded. Less than five minutes, the screams stopped. Amongst the nine people, Zhuang and Ren were the strongest in the group.

They got talent, their levels were the highest, and they armed themselves well. As for Qi Zhengsheng, he was the one with the lowest level. It was an easy fight for Level 27 Lu An.

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained 2 attribute points!]

[You can allocate the attribute point by opening the status screen!]

Blargh!

Lu An vomited outright after he killed all nine people. He vomited his dinner until he felt his stomach was empty.

He never killed before, this was his first time. As soon as he looked at the grotesque scene, his belly churned up. His hand was trembling and his grips on his sword weakened, causing the sword to fall on the ground.

He fell with his two hands. Even after he vomited all his dinner, his stomach did not get any better. He killed humans who turned zombies, but a zombie and a living one were certainly different.

He closed his eyes and thought to himself, 'I have prepared myself for this day! They deserve to be killed! You can't be this weak, Lu An! Or you will be Boss's burden in the future!'

Lu An took a deep breath with his eyes still closed.

Inhale! Exhale! Inhale! Exhale!

He repeated the same action for some time which was calming his heart a little bit. He picked his sword and headed back to the shelter. Despite leveling up, he did not feel excited in the slightest. However, he knew had to overcome this if he wanted to be useful for his Boss.

Chapter 39: Mini Lord - Part 1

Lu An came back with a haggard look on his face. He went to Li Na and handed over his loot in his bag to her.

Li Na was curious about what happened to Lu An, but she did not dare to ask. He looked very weary and badly needed a rest, so she would not waste his time here.

"This is my today's loot…" His voice was weak as if all his energy drained from his body, "Where's Boss?"

Hearing the question, Li Na turned toward the private elevator where only Lu An and Tang Shaoyang could use it… No, since the military girl appeared, it counted as three.

"He's in his room…" Her words trailed off as Lu An immediately headed toward the elevator. As he entered the elevator, he immediately called out Origin.

"Origin! Can I meet Boss now?"

"Nope! You can't! Master is currently busy with Lady Mengyao!" Origin's reply came fast.

"What's wrong with you? You don't look that good!"

Lu An ignored Origin's question as he pressed 15 and asked back, "Lady Mengyao?"

"Yes, she is your Boss's woman, your Lady Boss. She will be the first General of the Tang Empire and you will work with her to establish the Tang Empire's military!"

Lu An had not met the military girls yet, so he did not know his Boss had taken in soldiers.

Ding!

The elevator door opened and Lu An immediately headed out toward his room. As he entered his room, he immediately headed to the bathroom to take a shower.

"What about Li Na! I heard she is also Boss's woman?" Lu An asked in a frown. He respected his Boss, but he did not expect his Boss to be a womanizer.

"Li Na is not your Boss's woman. What happened to them is an equal exchange, " Origin did not explain further the detail and continued with what piqued its interest, "Really? What happened to you? There's something wrong with you!"

Lu An wanted to speak, but he was hesitating. In the end, he shook his head and let the cold water wash his body as he closed his eyes.

"You can tell your concern to me and I will relay it to Master as soon as he finishes his activity later, " Origin did not give as he continued to ask.

After hesitating for a while, Lu An told what happened on the way back. About Zhuang and Ren's betrayal, Qi Zhengsheng planned to take the shelter, and about him who killed these nine people.

As he told that, once again, his hand was trembling visibly.

"Hohoho… Finally, you have taken the first step! But now it seems you feel guilty for killing those guys, right? You want Master to comfort you right now, "

"However, if you want to follow Boss to the end, you have successfully taken the first step. In the future, you will have to kill more people because there will be another Qi Zhengsheng, Zhuang, and Ren!"

"You can't be this weak, Lu An. You have to get used to this. What you are doing is not wrong so you don't have to feel guilty about it. If you didn't kill them, they would come to kill you and Boss! There's a saying, "Giving mercy to your enemies means you are being cruel to yourself…" Origin's words trailed off.

"Is that, right? Or a pity to your enemies…" Origin seemed not confident with the words it quoted, causing Lu An to chuckle.

"Huh, where did you hear this? Did you hear from Boss?" He shook his head at the Smart AI's antics.

"I heard it from the other survivors… Ah, whatever… Hear me, boy! You are not in the same world as before, there's no longer law, and no one is going to judge you from killing those guys! The World has changed! The strong is the law!"

Origin's robotic voice echoed in the bathroom. Lu An knew what the AI said was true, but he just could not shake the uncomfortable feeling away from his heart. He closed his eyes as the cold shower rained down his body.

"Worried not! You just need to get used to this feeling! Everything will be fine after that, maybe you need one or two to get used to this kind of thing. If you feel the pressure too big, you can get a woman to relieve your stress!"

Lu An's face reddened when he heard the last part and thought, 'The smart AI is starting to get corrupted…'

"Hohoho… So you are still a virgin… Are you afraid of getting rejected? Don't worry! With your status, many women want to climb up onto your bed!" Origin teased the young Lu An.

He turned off the shower and got out of the bathroom with a bathrobe. He did not bother to dry his hair as he immediately collapsed on the bed.

"I am going to sleep, don't you bother me, corrupted AI!"

"Then I won't bother you, but empty your schedule for tomorrow. Master wants to bring you to somewhere, "

"Alright!" Lu An replied with a muffled voice, having his head buried onto the pillow.

Tang Shaoyang was oblivious that his trusted man just experienced a turning point. Currently, he was busy moving his hips at the edge of his bed.

Zhang Mengyao was lying down on the bed with an intoxicated expression. A light and a pleasing moan escaped from her mouth.

She had lost track of the time, but it started when they took a bath together. Despite her refusal in her mind, her body could not refuse the man's advance.

The battle continued until she felt a warm liquid enter her body. Only then Tang Shaoyang stopped, he picked the girl and put her in the middle of the bed.

Despite her ragged bread and exhausted yet satisfied look, Mengyao refused to close her eyes. Her eyes glued to Tang Shaoyang's face.

"What did you do to me, really?" Her voice was soft and pleasant to hear.

Tang Shaoyang merely chuckled at the beauty's inquiry, "Sleep~ You are going to work hard to raise your level tomorrow! Get enough rest, My Beautiful General~"

"But you are not going to leave me, right? You will be staying with me, right? You are different from those jerks, right?" Mengyao suddenly let out a barrage of questions… No, it was not a question, she was seeking confirmation, feeling insecure with their relationship.

Tang Shaoyang smiled widely as he seemed successfully conquering the beauty, "Silly girl!" He planted a kiss on her forehead and continued with a gentle tone, "There's no way I will throw away my beautiful general!"

"I will not leave you and even if you want to leave, I will force you to stay! You are mine, forever!" His tone was firm despite his gentle tone.

Maybe his words convinced her or maybe Zhang Mengyao was too exhausted to keep her eyes open. She closed her eyes and her breathing was stabilized, a sign that she had fallen asleep.

Tang Shaoyang pulled the blanket, covering both of their bodies before he also closed his eyes.

"Good job, Master!"

He heard Origin's voice before he fell into a deep slumber.

The next morning, Tang Shaoyang opened his eyes as the sunlight entered his room. He noticed Mengyao was not on his side as he heard the sound of water from the shower.

He woke up, stretching his body, and left his comfy bed. With his body naked, he walked toward the wardrobe. He took a casual black long sleeve shirt and casual black pants.

After that, Tang Shaoyang dropped his body on the sofa, waiting for the girl to come out.

"Origin! Call Lu An up!"

"Yes, Master!" As usual, Origin's answer was punctual.

"Ah, tell him to bring a coffee with him!"

He rested his head on the sofa and closed his eyes. Not long after that, he heard soft steps from the bathroom's direction.

"I am here!" Tang Shaoyang called.

Mengyao wanted to head to the bedroom but halted her steps when she heard the voice.

She headed toward Tang Shaoyang, wearing a white bathrobe and using a towel to dry her hair. She sat next to her man.

Tang Shaoyang frowned before a mischievous smile formed on his lips, "Why don't you wear your clothes? Are you tempting me?"

Zhang Mengyao rolled her eyes, "Tempting you, your foot! I don't have any clothes! You tore my military uniform as well as my clothes last night!"

"It was not me who tore your military uniform, alright! It was a zombie!"

"Wear my clothes first. I will buy your clothes later! Lu An is coming up, you can't hear that before him!" Tang Shaoyang pointed his finger toward the wardrobe direction.

Mengyao had heard about Lu An, so she nodded and changed to Tang Shaoyang's clothes. His shirt was too big, but it only increased her appeal.

She chose a red shirt and black pants as the wardrobe was filled with the same type of clothes.

Mengyao noticed Shaoyang's fervent gaze on her body. Surprisingly, she did not feel disgusted or detest him.

'Maybe because we have slept together or because he is my man!'

She sat next to Shaoyang and said, "Not this morning, you promised me to bring me to a place to level up!"

"I know! I will save energy for tonight!" Tang Shaoyang grinned.

Not long after that, the door opened and Lu An entered the room with a tray in his hand. Lu An was a bit surprised to see Zhang Mengyao despite receiving a head up from Origin.

Lu An placed the coffee and sat on the opposite of his Boss.

"Good Morning, Boss!"

Tang Shaoyang nodded as he took a sip of the coffee.

"I called you here to introduce her to you…" He told Lu An Zhang Mengyao's identity as someone from the military and a few details of his plan about establishing a military system with Lu An and Mengyao as the center.

"Also, he is my wife!"

Hearing the last sentence, Lu An grinned and greeted Mengyao, "Hello, Lady Boss~ I am…"

"No, Don't call me Lady Boss! Just call me Sister-in-Law will do!" Mengyao refused to be called Lady Boss.

They talked a bit of fifteen minutes before leaving the shelter together.

When they arrived at the destination, Lu An was surprised. The destination was a familiar place to him, Fogged Park.

"We will be hunting the beasts in this park!" Tang Shaoyang declared and turned toward Mengyao, "Don't get too far from me and only kill the dying beast I toss you later, understand?"

Mengyao nodded nervously.

He only instructed Mengyao as he believed Lu An could take care of himself.

He led the party into the Fogged Park. The moment he stepped into the Fogged Park, a notification rang in his head.
