Chapter 328: Finally Attracted Attention
Chapter 328: Finally Attracted Attention
In these chaotic times, the brave prevail. Beneath the outward unity of Tiesi Village, various survivor teams are secretly competing with each other. Tiesi Village has already lost a water-type ability user, and there is no way that Lei Jiang will let An Ran, a wood-type ability user, slip through his fingers.
Fortunately, it seems that, aside from a few members of Lei Jiang’s team, no one in Tiesi Village knows that An Ran is a wood-type ability user.
Considering the entire Tiesi Village, with tens of thousands of survivors, there are only a few wood-type abilities. It’s easy to imagine how valuable An Ran is.
This makes it even more troublesome for Lei Jiang to capture An Ran. He regrets countless times that, when they were still in Xiangcheng, he misjudged Yun Tao as a simple person. Who would have known that Yun Tao is the most clever of them all? He had originally planned to slowly seduce both Yun Tao and An Ran, but Yun Tao turned around and ran away with An Ran.
At that moment, it would have been the best time to capture An Ran. As long as he could trap her, food, vegetables, rice, fruits—what would be a difficult problem then?
He assumed that coming to Tiesi Village to block An Ran would guarantee her capture. Once she is in his grasp, she would be his. But he didn’t expect that Zhan Lian would be by An Ran’s side.
Zhan Lian is a ruthless character. Among the five elements of supernatural ability in Tiesi Village, the metal and fire elements are the most powerful. Zhan Lian is impervious to swords and guns, and his metal power level is clearly higher than Zhang Boxun’s, another metal ability user in the village. Among the tens of thousands of people in Tiesi Village, there are only two metal ability users, and Zhang Boxun can at best achieve a body of toughened metal, like copper and iron.
Zhan Lian, however, can also throw flying knives!
So, bypassing Zhan Lian to capture An Ran becomes a much more complicated task. Zhan Lian keeps a close watch on An Ran.
“Have you ever considered bringing Zhan Lian under your control?”
Zhao Ru, sitting on a chair with her legs crossed and dressed in wide-leg pants, looks at Lei Jiang’s back with a smile that has a hint of wisdom.
Lei Jiang turns his head and walks over to Zhao Ru’s side. He reaches out, preparing to pinch Zhao Ru’s chin, but Zhao Ru tilts her head away.
"Hey?! Captain Lei, show some restraint!"
Lei Jiang smiles faintly and sits down across from Zhao Ru. His gaze lingers on her, and with an unreadable expression in his eyes, he says:
“I almost forgot. You’re not like other women.” Then, Lei Jiang continues, “You said to bring Zhan Lian under my control. But he’s Tang Jianjun’s man.”
"So, Captain Lei’s ambition is only that much?" Zhao Ru tilts her head, studying Lei Jiang with a hint of scrutiny. She stands up, wearing a purple organza T-shirt and black wide-leg pants. She twirls around in place, turns her head slightly, then smiles and glances at Lei Jiang. "But your influence is huge in Tiesi Village. We look forward to your trip the day after tomorrow. Best of luck."
In the dim room, Lei Jiang sits quietly in his chair, deep in thought. Just as Zhao Ru finishes speaking and is about to leave, Lei Jiang speaks up. Tilting his head, he looks at her retreating figure and asks:
"Miss Zhao, did I underestimate you too much?"
In a post-apocalyptic world like this, a woman who lives so cleanly, moves freely, and can navigate between different people with ease—who is also so intelligent and doesn’t desperately try to get into Lei Jiang’s bed—finally catches his attention!
