VAPBDB Chapter 4

Hi guys it’s Raven. Well here’s a new chapter and if you guys find any problem in translation you can tell me in the comments. Happy Reading and happy new year ✨😊

“Growl…..”

The sound of his belly rumbling was so powerless that it produced a weak scream.

Pei Zhaozhou’s ears became red as he realized what had happened, and he strengthened his movements while still allowing the sound of his stomach rumble to take control. His amber-golden and damp eyes filled with shame.

Si Huaixi was stunned. His deep eyes grew concerned, and he took out the food and water he was carrying from the inner pocket of his black jacket and handed it to Pei Zhaozhou, frowning and saying, “Quickly eat.”

The tone was unmistakably worried.

Considering the food in his palm, Pei Zhaozhou of today values his food far more than gold and silver jewelry—not to mention that he is now in a post-apocalyptic world where zombies are rife.

Pei Zhaozhou hadn’t known much about the end-of-the-world situation, but he’d been here for about a week, and Si Huaixi was the first human he’d seen.

Zombies may have taken control of most of these wild areas. Only the terrain inside military bases and refugee camps is suitable for supporting human habitation; most of the food is also grown there.

He had no idea what level of supernatural power Si Huaixi possessed

However, witnessing Si Huaixi alone in a dangerous environment without any companion to look after him suggests that Si Huaixi must not have an easy life. Yet, he was willing to hand over precious food to him.

Pei Zhaozhou’s heart was pounding, and his amber-golden eyes were showing a touching look. But he dared not meet Si Huaixi’s gaze lest the complicated feelings he was experiencing become apparent.

—It’s merely a waste of food for someone like him who would die sooner or later.

As if seeing the resistance in Pei Zhaozhou’s gaze, Si Huaixi reached out and broke the biscuit into small fragments, which he then shoved into Pei Zhaozhou’s mouth.

The nut cookies with a little burnt fragrance melted in the mouth. A delightful taste that Pei Zhaozhou hadn’t experienced before. Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes rounded at Si Huaixi’s move and then squinted brightly, munching lazily.

The cookies became increasingly aromatic upon chewing continuously. Upon swallowing the food down the parched throat, Pei Zhaozhou continued pressing his bottom lip with some unsatisfied thoughts, but his persistently ravenous stomach subsided a little.

On the side, Si Huaixi chuckled as if he were staring at a cat, throwing a tantrum, and refusing to eat. His amber-gold cat eyes dilated in delight when he came across a delectable biscuit, and he licked his lips. It appears that it still wants to eat more.

——He is a good cat who is not picky about food.

Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes froze, his look slightly ashamed after reacting. He stared at Si Huaixi, who continued to smile at him. He was ready to say thank you, but the water bottle near his mouth prevented him from doing so.

After being thirsty for so many days, his lips were so dry that they were chapped, and the water droplets hanging around the mouth of the bottle became quite tempting.

Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes focused on the clean water in the water bottle, and his body screamed for water.

But for an adult like him with all his hands and feet, he was fed water by a man who looked younger than him. It was so shameful.

Pei Zhaozhou lowered his eyes shyly, gently accepted the water bottle, and said ‘thank you’ while holding the water bottle with both hands. He took little sips at first, then drank it quicker and faster.

He appears to be quite thirsty.

Si Huaixi stood motionless, his sea-blue eyes filled with unfathomable relief as he watched Pei Zhaozhou drinking the water.

He probably didn’t even think that one day, he would watch a man eating with gusto and be unable to look away, just like a silly owner who could watch a video of his cat eating without taking his eyes off it for hours.

When he was half full, Pei Zhaozhou suddenly realized that he seemed to have eaten a bit too much. He flushed and turned down Si Huaixi’s next feeding. Rejected, Si Huaixi was unconcerned. He wrapped the other half of the ham around his mouth and shoved it in. The wrapping paper was spotless, with no evidence of minced meat.

The rule of the end of the world – no food is wasted.

Pei Zhaozhou was shocked for a minute, watching as Si Huaixi finished the last ham sausage in a few seconds, slowly and calmly, as if there was nothing wrong with it. But they’re all men, and he’s the alpha male. He didn’t mind this minor inconvenience, yet he was startled.

Si Huaixi raised his eyes to Pei Maomao’s startled expression, then looked down at the clean ham sausage and abruptly asked, “Did I eat the ham sausage you wanted to eat?”

‘I heard about cats before the apocalypse. Cats will hide tasty food as a reserve food and dig it out when hungry. He ate the cat’s reserve food, didn’t he? Should I set some aside for him?’

Si Huaixi was a little concerned. Pei Zhaozhou shook his head, grabbed a metallic weapon from his icy black and gray protective suit, handed it to Si Huaixi with a severe expression, and said, “Here, this is for you.”

Si Huaixi took a look at the rifle Pei Zhaozhou had handed him. He had no intention of accepting the rifle, but his eyes focused on the unusual metal gun.

The metal gun is a single component with no splicing. There are no traces of bullet wear and tear on the muzzle.

The gun’s body is slim and tiny, even in the hand.

What kind of ammunition works best with this rifle? He became very fascinated about this firearm, which he had never seen before in the apocalypse, and used his mental power to investigate it unconsciously. He was astonished by the outcome.

There were no bullets in the metal gun.

A ball of high-energy energy replaces the bullet’s spot. It is an energy gun.

The stored energy is estimated to be able to break through the defenses of zombies and zombie beasts below level 6. Above level 6, both superpowers and zombies will break through to a new stage, with both defense and superpowers reaching advanced levels. This weapon is ineffective.

Scientific researchers in the capital of China have divided the abilities of superpowers and zombie beasts into 12 levels.

Levels 1-3 are the primary level of superpowers. Newly awakened superpowers cannot accurately control the superpowers in their body. Usually, they can make small flames and small water balls, which are good.

However, the battery life is short, the superpowers can deplete quickly, and the power is limited. It is slower and less effective than an average person wielding a weapon, and it is also the stage where superpowers die the most.

4– 6 is the intermediate level of superpowers when superpower users can learn to master their abilities.

Levels 7–9 are for advanced superpowers. Each degree of superhuman breakthrough is significantly difficult. If you are not cautious, you may fail to break through. The superpower will riot and perish within the body. The zombie crystals necessary for each degree of breakthrough are not insignificant.

A level 7 superpower, for example, can be regarded as a master. The number of zombie crystals needed to advance from level 6 to level 7 if you are lucky, only two or three level 6 zombie crystals are needed, and if you are unlucky, you may require more than a dozen. It is assumed that zombies who cannot feel pain and have sturdy bodies are much stronger than superheroes of the same degree.

To acquire appropriate zombie crystals, particularly for various types of superpowers, for example, the zombie crystals that are most effective when employing fire attribute breakthroughs also have fire attributes.

It’s not easy to discover zombies with similar characteristics, especially since zombies tend to congregate. Many people with powers perish while searching for appropriate zombie crystals due to other zombies’ involvement. It is unquestionably another issue.

Breakthrough has become more challenging.

As a result, all-powerful guys who have matured over time have high-level superpowers.

Superpowers at levels 10–12 are far more uncommon and known as “fire superpowers.” Every superpower that attains this degree is incredibly valuable. They are the world’s last hope for a zombie apocalypse. Renowned as the human fire. Every level 10 superpower is already well-known in the country. They will be recruited mainly by large bases and countries.

The total number of level 10 superpowers in the globe is so minimal that it can be tallied in the hundreds. There are only five level 11 superpowers in the world.

There is one in China.

Ying Huibin, better known as Ying Shen, the sole level 11 superpower user, has avoided countless disasters that would have otherwise destroyed the country. His most glorious military achievement was to stop a million zombies commanded by level 10 zombies seven years ago and to save thousands of people. The lives of tens of thousands of people in the base can even be said to have saved the lives of hundreds of millions of people across the country.

If the incoming wave of level 10 zombies hadn’t stopped, China’s whole territory would have been overrun by zombies. Tens of millions of people were inside the facility, making the situation even more terrifying. Even if one-tenth of the population becomes infected, the following million would have experienced a terrifying Zombie wave.

There are zero level 12 superpowers in the globe.

There isn’t a single one.

Level 12 superpowers are merely a scientific hypothesis. Humans have already reached their limit with Level 11 superpowers. Aina, the only level 11 female superpower in Country Y, has water attributes and is known as the Water Goddess. When all the superpowers are mobilized once, she can cause a flood with her powers.

As per the video from Country Y, Aina is on the fort.

Hundreds of thousands of zombies were drowned at the same time by the unending stream.

Level 11 users are already quite powerful. If you reach level 12, you will be known as a “god.”

Nonetheless, level 6 zombies and zombie creatures are still uncommon for this modest distant station in the south. Ordinary folks wielding this energy rifle are capable of repelling most zombie attacks. Si Huaixi’s eyes darkened. It is not something that the average person can create.

The technological level of the Lucheng base is incapable of producing it. Even Si Huaixi, who has visited numerous apocalyptic bases, has never seen such an energy gun. Only the capital base where Chinese researchers assembled could develop it.

However, the Lucheng base is a minor one in the south.

How did he… reach this far from the capital in the north?

Perhaps he is a member of a mysterious organization.

Why is he holding such a high-tech energy gun and facing a wind-attributed zombie bird that is only level 3? Why didn’t he fight when he could completely solve it with this weapon?

Si Huaixi grimaced, his heart filled with uncertainties.

But the biggest concern is…

Did he simply hand him the energy rifle like this?

It is his sole means of self-defense. Si Huaixi could see that Pei Zhaozhou had no exceptional abilities, not even the most basic. He was nothing out of the usual. He was a completely ordinary person.

Giving up your only weapon is not a good sign in the end times.

Si Huaixi’s eyes were dark.

Although being trusted by Maomao made him a little happy, it’s not as simple as a cat sharing a delightful toy.

Pei Zhaozhou is concerned that Si Huaixi will not employ this advanced interstellar technology-level energy rifle. After all, in the current apocalyptic level, firearms employ bullets, which are not only difficult to transport, but there is still a limit to the number of bullets that a gun can have. It can only load about ten or twenty bullets at a time. For defense, these are not as portable as the energy gun.

The entire energy can launch over a hundred attacks, and its power can penetrate the defenses of most low-level and intermediate zombies. It is something that standard weapons are incapable of. Even if Pei Zhaozhou’s energy gun only has 38 charges left after a battle, it can still fire more than forty attacks.

Pei Zhaozhou also knew that this energy gun surpassed the technological level of this world, and taking out this energy gun would inevitably reveal some information about him that was different from others.

If he had met someone with evil intentions, this alone could have made them torture him and force him to hand over the blueprint for making the energy gun, but he gave it to him willingly.

Not only did he give it, but he also eloquently described it.

It was just a matter of revealing that he had transmigrated from the interstellar world.

Pei Zhaozhou: “This energy gun has a fingerprint unlocking function and an intelligent automatic aiming function. There is no energy stone here, so I can’t quickly replenish the energy gun’s energy. But I can replenish the energy gun in another way, by mixing solar energy and electric energy. I will draw the drawings for you…”

“Give me your hand. I have opened the permissions. The fingerprint unlocking function requires your input.” Pei Zhaozhou looked at Si Huaixi and stretched out his hand. His amber-gold eyes were overflowing with emotion. The warm light evoked a sincere smile.

He planned to completely hand over this weapon that had been with him for so long, and his eyes were slightly nostalgic, but then there was a sense of relief.

At least for Si Huaixi, this energy gun wouldn’t be considered an insult.

He is a sincere and enthusiastic man. And he is willing to help him so much when facing a stranger with unknown origins like him. He deserves to live longer than the short-lived villain he is.

Pei Zhaozhou spoke slowly and systematically, with a quiet and serene look, as if explaining what occurred after his death.

Si Huaixi looked at Pei Zhaozhou, his eyes dropped, and he firmly declined.”No, keep it for yourself.”

Si Huaixi scowled and lightly tossed the energy gun back to Pei Zhaozhou. But gripped Pei Zhaozhou’s burning wrist with his right hand and exclaimed angrily, “Did you burn out your brain? Put the weapon away. Giving it to others is equivalent to giving your life to others. It’s just an illness. You can say stupid things like handing me the weapon when you get better.”

Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes froze in surprise at the abrupt scolding.

He didn’t expect his good intentions to be rejected by this apocalyptic superpower user, but he nevertheless refused in such a furious and violent manner!

Pei Zhaozhou had a ball of resentment in his heart.

If Si Huaixi knew what Pei Zhaozhou was thinking, he would scold him again. Why would he want his own cat’s weapon? Isn’t it shameful?

Pei Zhaozhou grew obstinate, gritting his teeth and declaring, “No, you must accept it.”

“No need,” Si Huaixi remarked, looking at him and the energy cannon in his palm, “I’ll leave this little toy for you to defend yourself.”

A small toy?

Did the inhabitants of the apocalyptic world reject his good intentions and hate the weapons he made?

Did you know he’s the most skilled mecha ordnance creator in the interplanetary empire?

He was laid back and quite easygoing at the military academy. His new flying weapon played a prominent role in fighting the Zerg on the battlefield, annihilating many high-level winged Zerg in one fell swoop.

He earned second-class imperial military merit and became an officer before graduating from school, all thanks to this self-developed weapon. After entering the imperial army, the self-designed mecha Silver Arc advanced to the S level and achieved remarkable success in warfare. Countless Zerg were terrified and lost their combat spirit when they spotted his silver-white mecha.

Even after being forced to leave the army due to a pheromone issue, he continued to rely on his talent in manufacturing mecha weapons. Within a few years, the Blue Air mecha company he founded became the pinnacle of the industry.

The mechas he developed were gladly purchased by the imperial army. On the surface, he undoubtedly became the largest empire in the empire Arms dealer.

Now!

A post-apocalyptic native refers to his painstakingly constructed weapons as toys.

Pei Zhaozhou’s platinum-gold eyes became enraged, and his gloomy attitude vanished. If he hadn’t been concerned about Si Huaixi’s treatment of him right now, he’d have to refute his stupidity and shallowness.

The main antagonist in the book was a civilian major general who ascended from the bottom. When confronted by the so-called protagonist gang, he was so belligerent and arrogant that he never bowed his head. If not for the world consciousness restriction, he would have killed Gong, the so-called protagonist.

How could such a proud, strong-willed alpha have been slowly fading away if he hadn’t been tormented by pheromone disorder and transformed into a lunatic under the influence of riot pheromones when he became ill?

He lost his will and was reduced to this pitiful state of discouragement and waiting for death, even looking down on himself.

Pei Zhaozhou gritted his teeth and withstood it, but after thinking about it, he couldn’t. Because this dumb apocalyptic aboriginal does not grasp the worth of this energy pistol, he must prove it to him!

Pei Zhaozhou’s platinum-gold eyes sparkled as he took up the energy gun that Si Huaixi had disregarded and aimed it at the zombie bird that Si Huaixi had just killed.

” Is this gun of mine a toy?” he pulled the trigger.

A stream of blue-purple energy rapidly entered the zombie bird’s carcass, forming a gun hole over thirty centimeters in diameter, and the entire zombie bird’s corpse virtually melted. As soon as the beam reached the sand beneath the zombie bird, the intense heat quickly burned the sand, forming a black hole that was slightly glowing with fire. A person could envision the power of this energy gun’s beam if it struck them.

Pei Zhaozhou’s thin lips turned into an arrogant smile, and his proud amber-gold eyes glistened in the light.

“What, do you still think the gun I gave you is a toy?”

Si Huaixi’s eyes fluttered, and the corners of his mouth rose.

—Sure enough, it’s better for the cat to be lively. But a lesson still needs to be learned.

He took a step forward, holding the gun’s muzzle. His piercing sea-blue eyes met Pei Zhaozhou’s terrified ones, and he exclaimed, “Pull the trigger,” with enthusiasm.

The muzzle of the gun was held abruptly. If you shoot mistakenly, the person in front of you will change into a ball of burning zombie birds on the ground!

Pei Zhaozhou’s lips quivered, and he exclaimed, “Are you crazy?”

Si Huaixi was not crazy, but in Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes, he was more scary than a madman. He not only kept holding the muzzle of the gun but also raised the muzzle close to his chest and heart.

Pei Zhaozhou acted instantly. He panicked and started to let go, but Si Huaixi pressed his other hand firmly. He was an alpha with a top S-level physique, but facing this aboriginal in the apocalypse, he couldn’t shake his rock-hard hand.

His delicate hand. The clear-jointed hand is similar to the hand model on the billboard before the end of the world, and the slightly raised blood vessels underneath the white jade hand possess infinite power.

“Relax!” No, let go – ” Pei Zhaozhou’s pupils twitched as he observed Si Huaixi’s finger move and push the trigger.

Immediately, a bluish-purple energy beam was unleashed. It would pierce Si Huaixi’s body in the following second.

Pei Zhaozhou’s amber-gold eyes enlarged with fright, making him appear frail and sad.

Si Huaixi laughed.”It’s just a toy.”

The blue-purple energy beam converged in his palm, and the gun’s muzzle appeared to emit only harmless light. As he tightened his fists, the metal muzzle distorted.

There was no harm or damage to the palm of Si Huaixi’s hand until he released the gun’s barrel, save for the heat residue from the intense beam.

Pei Zhaozhou was still staring stupidly, the arm holding his gun shaking so violently that he couldn’t stop, still terrified that Si Huaixi would be shot by the energy gun right now.

Few things in the world can harm Si Huaixi and the weapon in Pei Zhaozhou’s hand is not one of them.

Si Huaixi wanted to teach a lesson to Maomao, not to scare him silly. His left hand is still holding Pei Zhaozhou’s gun. 　

Si Huaixi frowned as he poured a pure and immense amount of spiritual strength into his body with his shaking hands. When the energetic spiritual strength entered Pei Zhaozhou’s body, it was like a torrential downpour on a hot summer day.

Despite his dread, Pei Zhaozhou did not notice that his body was wounded and on the verge of collapsing, and he began to recover his energy discreetly.

The most noticeable difference was that the body temperature which continued to climb due to fever, has fallen. Ordinary mental power users cannot heal, but Si Huaixi is unique. The work of Si HuaixiHis mental strength is like tentacles reaching out from his perception, and his eyes seem to be flying.

Maomao blinks open his wet amber-gold eyes. His eyes were filled with amazement and uncertainty, but he had no idea that the mental force responsible for mending his body had also left an imprint on his cognitive ability.

——He had picked up a cat. Si Huaixi pressed his lips together. He was feeling a little irritated but not annoyed.

Pei Zhaozhou’s extremely rapid breathing slowed, and his flushed face appeared to be returning to normal.

A strong and appealing vanilla smell immediately filled the air. Pei Zhaozhou pressed his lips and covered the back of his neck with his hand. His amber-gold eyes were a little lost. A burst of emotion caused him to bite his lips, and his shy and crimson face was full of elegance.

He squatted down carefully, curling up with his hands on his abdomen, attempting to conceal the weird protrusion in his lower torso. His moist and sensual amber-gold eyes filled with humiliation, rage, and disbelief.

His alpha susceptibility period has begun!

Alpha’s rut will take place every month. During the vulnerable time, alpha pheromones increase, and they become violent, sensitive, and sexually desirous. They are desperate to indulge with their omega companions to endure the unpleasant vulnerable period. Therefore, this period is also known as estrus or rut.

Without the interference of omega pheromones, alpha usually passes through the susceptibility period after enduring it for a while. Pei Zhaozhou had already spent his ruts in this way, and he didn’t even require inhibitors.

However, this time…

Pei Zhaozhou’s agitated body appeared to be out of control.
