Chapter 1046: Doomsday Big Boss 50

But right after saying that, Hu Tongxia suddenly stared at Tang Wan’s lips. Then he pointed at his own lips with an extremely obvious hint. “Since I’m so great and you’re so happy… shouldn’t I get a reward?”

Tang Wan couldn’t help but smile at his expression.

The next moment, she stood on tiptoe and leaned toward him.

After a brief kiss, Hu Tongxia instantly turned into a grinning fool—like a switch had been flipped—standing there laughing like an idiot.

Tang Wan looked at his silly expression and couldn’t help but laugh as well, a mix of helplessness and amusement.

Was he really this happy…?

In the days that followed, Tang Wan, Hu Tongxia, and the others lived much like the rest of the base’s ability users—heading out daily to clear zombies, hunting for crystal nuclei, then returning to rest and train.

After a month of this routine, the strength of the base’s ability users had improved significantly. Even those who were once ordinary people had gained rich combat experience through constant life-and-death battles.

But as the humans grew stronger, so did the zombies.

They were no longer slow and stiff like before. Their movements had become faster, more agile, and far more dangerous.

Around this time, Xu Jintang also discovered the existence and effects of zombie crystal nuclei.

He immediately organized the ability users under him into a formal team and began systematically hunting zombies and collecting crystal cores.

However, during one of these missions, something went wrong.

One of Xu Jintang’s harem members was scratched by a zombie while trying to save him.

Before a cure or serum had been developed, being scratched by a zombie was almost a death sentence for ordinary people. Ability users, due to their awakened powers, had some resistance and wouldn’t immediately turn—but it was still extremely dangerous.

Even so, Xu Jintang panicked.

This woman was named Sun Mei—the same woman who, in the original storyline, had helped Xu Jintang bring down Zhou Tao.

After arriving at the base, she had fallen for Xu Jintang at first sight. But Xu Jintang only had eyes for Liu Feifei, so despite Sun Mei repeatedly confessing, he had never accepted her.

But this time… things were different.

Sun Mei had nearly lost her life for him.

Xu Jintang carried her back to the base in his arms, shouting urgently, “Feifei! Feifei, come out quickly and save Sun Mei!”

His voice was filled with panic.

After all, people aren’t made of stone—feelings grow over time.

If before he had only seen Sun Mei as just another admirer, now… his mindset had clearly changed.

Hearing his shout, Liu Feifei quickly ran over.

The moment she arrived, she saw Xu Jintang holding Sun Mei tightly, his face full of anxiety. “Don’t be afraid, Sun Mei. Feifei will be here soon—she’ll definitely heal you. I promise!”

Then he looked up and snapped impatiently at Liu Feifei, “What are you standing there for? Didn’t you see she’s hurt?!”

Liu Feifei froze for a moment.

Since childhood, Xu Jintang had never spoken to her in such a harsh tone.

And she had never seen him so worried about another girl.

But with someone’s life on the line, she quickly suppressed the turmoil in her heart and stepped forward to treat Sun Mei.

Half an hour later, after exhausting nearly all her ability, Liu Feifei finally healed Sun Mei’s wound.

Yet throughout the entire process, Xu Jintang’s attention remained fixed on Sun Mei.

He didn’t even ask Liu Feifei how she was doing.
