Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Oh My God, Why Did the Magic Fail?

With a roar from Wang Kun, a fireball slammed directly into his forehead. In the next second, the flames intensified, completely incinerating Wang Kun.

It's safe to say that Wang Kun never expected to die at the hands of his own son.

Meng De was also a bit speechless.

Just moments ago, faced with the sudden fireball attack, he instinctively redirected the Space Black Hole toward Wang Kun.

And so, Wang Kun, who had just mustered some courage, met a tragic end once again.

Before, he had been too afraid to fire, worried about hitting his own people. Now that he could fire, he ended up dead the moment he did.

It would've been better if he hadn't fired at all.

Fortunately, Meng De had kept the Space Black Hole active, and the residual shockwave from the explosion was absorbed by the black hole.

Both he and Cheng Ying remained unharmed.

However, Cheng Ying was still in a state of shock.

The bastard she wanted to kill was just… gone?

Why did it feel so ridiculously dramatic?

In Meng De's line of sight, a chubby little guy, nearly 300 pounds, appeared.

Meng De recognized him immediately—it was a familiar face!

He remembered this guy was in his twenties, yet he didn't work and lived off his parents.

Meng De knew him because the guy kept stealing his packages.

Even after sending a lawyer's warning, it didn't stop him.

Instead, the little guy went on a rampage, leaving 11 bad reviews for 10 packages.

Once, he even accused Meng De of stealing his prized "Ga" brand dog. If it weren't for the surveillance footage, Meng De would've ended up in jail for a few days.

[Ding! Detected a powered individual approaching!]

[Powered individual: Wang Yan]

[Awakened ability: Small Fireball (D-grade)]

[Level: First-stage initial phase]

(Ability grades: SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, F)

(Powered individual levels: First-stage to Ninth-stage)

Meng De hadn't expected this guy to awaken an ability.

Wang Yan, who had just rushed out, glanced at the remains of his father and uttered in a rather clueless manner, "Oh my God, why did the magic fail?"

It has to be said, Wang Yan's entrance was quite comedic.

That line nearly made Meng De burst out laughing.

However, when Wang Yan turned his gaze toward Meng De, his chubby face turned menacing, filled with killing intent.

"It's all your fault! You killed my dad!"

As he spoke, two fireballs formed in his hands, and in the next second, he hurled them at Meng De.

"Behold my divine Crimson Lotus Hellfire!!"

Crimson your ass!

A measly fireball dares to insult my water beans?!

This is too much!

Uncle can tolerate it, but auntie can't!!!

Seeing this, Meng De didn't even bother to dodge.

On one hand, he redirected the Space Black Hole toward Wang Yan.

The living room wasn't big, only about 5 meters across.

It was well within his transfer range.

Plus, Wang Yan's awakened ability wasn't high-level, only D-grade!

Transferring it was a piece of cake!

On the other hand, he pulled out a Desert Eagle and started firing at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan, who was still shouting, saw his fireballs disappear in the next second.

Before he could figure out what was happening, a barrage of bullets came flying toward him.

"Holy crap!"

With so many bullets, Wang Yan couldn't dodge. Moreover, as he tried to evade, a black hole slowly formed behind him, and the fireballs he had just lost reappeared, slamming into his back.

Caught between the two attacks, an explosion erupted.

The entire room was leveled in an instant.

Along with the woman in the room, they were all blown to death.

Fortunately, Meng De reacted quickly, and with the onset of night, his reaction speed doubled instantly.

He immediately held Cheng Ying in his arms and teleported away.

Otherwise, even with the protection of the Space Black Hole, he would have inevitably been injured.

In room 1302.

Cheng Ying, who had just avenged a great wrong, cried in Meng De's arms for a long time.

Meng De had no choice but to stay with her and then helped her tidy up the room.

He originally wanted her to come back with him.

But Cheng Ying clearly wasn't ready yet.

However, she didn't oppose it either, just said she needed some time to adjust.

Helpless, he left some daily necessities before leaving.

When he opened the door, the woman hesitated for a moment and then said.

"Meng De, thank you!"

"I will definitely repay you."

Meng De looked at the woman, her face flushed, and she had changed into a black bodycon dress that made her even more alluring. Thinking of her status as a widow.

He couldn't hold back anymore and pressed her against the wall.

"Let me take some interest first."

After a fierce exchange of kisses, Meng De finally left satisfied.

Although he hadn't completely conquered her, he had tasted the flavor of the widow.

Even the favorability level had risen to 50, just one step away from the 60 needed for a reward!

"Our common folks are really happy tonight."

In his excitement, Meng De even whistled.

Upstairs, watching Meng De's departing figure from afar, Cheng Ying's face was extremely flushed.

Touching a certain place, it was already wet.

"This little man almost had me."

But thinking about how this man had saved her in a crisis and risked danger to help her seek revenge.

Cheng Ying was filled with gratitude towards Meng De.

And the only way she could repay him seemed to be by giving herself completely to him.

Meanwhile, when Meng De returned to Building 5, it was almost 10 PM.

When Meng De entered the room, both sisters threw themselves into his arms.

Chen Jiayi was a bit stronger, but her younger sister Yao Yao cried her eyes out.

Meng De knew the sisters were worried about him and comforted them both thoroughly.

The sisters then pulled Meng De to sit at the dining table.

Just as he was puzzled, Elder Sister Jia Yi brought out a bowl of noodles.

"My sister spent the whole afternoon making this, Brother-in-law, you can't say it's not delicious."

Yao Yao explained from the side.

Meng De knew this was definitely Chen Jiayi's first time cooking.

Previously, these sisters were the type who never lifted a finger.

This woman... she really put her heart into it.

Meng De had to admit, he was quite moved.

Of course, it wasn't as exaggerated as someone else who felt like they had a home for the first time just by drinking a bowl of porridge.

But he had indeed already taken on the responsibility of caring for the sisters.

Soon, the day passed, and these two days, both sisters had their periods.

This made it impossible for him to take any liberties!

He couldn't keep having Jia Yi handle "manual gear" for him as before.

Now his physical fitness was far beyond that of an ordinary person, so his endurance and stamina were also beyond compare.

If he kept using "manual gear," Jia Yi's hands would surely be ruined.

Another sleepless night, Meng De lay alone in bed.

It must be said, the feeling of having meat but not being able to eat it is really painful!

Meng De, who had planned to rest, saw his phone light up the next second.

After so many days into the Apocalypse, the mobile network had long been gone.

The only thing left was the ability to send text messages, but the signal wasn't stable either—sometimes it was there, sometimes it wasn't.

He estimated that in a few more days, when the power went out, the phone would truly be useless.

He opened his phone and saw:

"Meng De, can you come over?"

The sender was none other than: Bai Jie!

Meng De smiled.

So, this woman finally couldn't hold back anymore.
