Chapter 63: Ye Feng's Intuition
On the road.
A sleek, cool silver RV was speeding along!
……
Inside the vehicle.
The expressions of both Ye Feng and Nan Shiyin were rather grim.
Nan Shiyin had just learned that Nan Ruyan had already turned into a zombie.
Her beautiful eyes were red and swollen as she sobbed continuously.
Ye Feng stepped forward to comfort her.
"Shiyin, in this world today, such things happening are completely normal!"
"You shouldn't grieve too much."
Nan Shiyin wiped away her tears and nodded.
"I understand, it's just that the sudden contrast is a bit hard to accept."
Ye Feng continued to comfort her with a few more words.
Nan Shiyin's state improved somewhat.
Ye Feng's eyes flickered slightly as he pondered inwardly.
"Since there's no need to go to the Golden Tripod Hotel... I'll head back to Dragon City Imperial Scenery residential area to pick up Lin Xiaoxiao..."
Thinking this, Ye Feng was about to order Miri to change the destination.
Suddenly, however, a ripple of premonition flashed through Ye Feng's heart.
Devoid of logic, devoid of information...
Coming purely from Ye Feng's intuition, it made him faintly feel that something was amiss.
"Shiyin, let me see your phone."
Nan Shiyin handed over her phone with a puzzled look.
Tapping the screen.
Ye Feng saw the chat messages between Nan Shiyin and Nan Ruyan.
Nan Shiyin: "Auntie, are you still alive?"
Nan Shiyin: "Auntie, I've been rescued. My boyfriend, Ye Feng, is a powerful esper..."
"......"
Nan Ruyan: "I'm still alive. Can you come and save me..."
"......"
Nan Shiyin: "Ye Feng agreed. He and I are coming right over to save you!"
Nan Ruyan: "Shiyin, I just left the back kitchen and, chased by a swarm of zombies, escaped to Presidential Suite 8001..."
Nan Ruyan: "I'm with my bodyguard, Li Jiandong, and we just managed to find some food... But I still feel very dangerous, please hurry up and come!!"
"......"
Nan Ruyan: "Shiyin, I found that during the escape just now, I was bitten by a zombie. You don't need to come save me anymore, protect yourself, mind your safety, and live on for me!"
Ye Feng's eyes flickered slightly; logically, it seemed to make sense.
Yet, Ye Feng still felt something was not quite right.
After a moment of thought, Ye Feng looked straight into Nan Shiyin's eyes and slowly said, "Shiyin, I feel there is something fishy about this. Nan Ruyan might still be alive!"
Hearing Ye Feng's words, a flash of pleasant surprise crossed Nan Shiyin's eyes as she said excitedly, "Really? Ye Feng! You're saying my aunt is still alive?"
Ye Feng nodded, his expression serious as he said, "I'm not entirely sure, but since we've already set off, we might as well go over and confirm it with our own eyes. It won't take much time anyway!"
"Mm-mm, Ye Feng, you're right!" Nan Shiyin grasped at it as if it were a straw of hope. "Then let's hurry over!"
Hope flashed in Nan Shiyin's water-like, beautiful eyes.
……
Ye Feng lowered his head to glance at the time and mused, "We still have at least eight minutes before we reach the Golden Tripod Hotel... I wonder what the situation is like over at your aunt's end."
Ye Feng frowned in deep thought.
"Is there... a faster way to get there?"
After a brief contemplation, Ye Feng suddenly had an idea. He turned to Nan Shiyin and said:
"Shiyin, I've just bound you with the driving rights for this RV!"
"Just use the autopilot and drive in the direction of the Golden Tripod Hotel!"
Nan Shiyin was slightly dazed, not understanding why Ye Feng would say this. "Ye Feng, what are you..."
"Miri, stop the car, open the door!"
Ye Feng acted with decisive swiftness.
"Understood, Master!"
The crisp voice of the vehicle's AI, Miri, rang out.
The RV came to an abrupt halt, and the door slowly slid open.
Ye Feng quickly stepped out of the vehicle and said to Nan Shiyin, "Shiyin, I'm worried that some change may have already occurred on your aunt's side... Just to be safe, my speed is faster than the vehicle's, so I'll go ahead first."
As he spoke, a small, pale-blue scroll appeared in Ye Feng's hand.
Temporary Buff Scroll!
Now, after multiple enhancements, Ye Feng's full-speed running capability was already no less than the speed of the RV.
Activating the Temporary Buff Scroll would elevate his movement speed tenfold.
Ye Feng tore the scroll apart.
The torn scroll instantly transformed into a blue stream of light that surged into Ye Feng's body.
In an instant, Ye Feng felt his body turn weightless.
Joy welled up in his heart.
"My movement speed seems to have truly increased by leaps and bounds!"
Immediately afterward, Ye Feng tapped the ground with the tip of his foot, his figure soaring forward and vanishing from the spot.
Nan Shiyin stood frozen in place, dumbfounded.
How... how could Ye Feng be so fast?
Recovering her senses, she immediately ordered Miri to drive toward the Golden Tripod Hotel...
……
Like a streak of black lightning, Ye Feng sprinted all the way.
The whistling wind rushed past his ears.
Countless buildings continuously stretched backward behind him, and the sound of the air shattering echoed endlessly.
"My movement speed has skyrocketed!"
Ye Feng wore a look of exhilaration.
At this moment, his speed was already approaching the speed of sound.
In the air, only a series of afterimages remained.
……
Golden Tripod Hotel.
In the eighth-floor suite.
Having been struck in a vital spot, Li Jiandong had completely plunged into a berserk state.
He crazily smashed against the door with tables and chairs.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
His eyes were bloodshot as he roared like a madman.
"Bitch! Open the door!"
"Otherwise, when I smash this door open, let's see how I deal with you!"
Inside the door, Nan Ruyan trembled uncontrollably.
She didn't have any good solutions either.
She could only instinctively brace herself against the door.
Bang! Bang!
With Li Jiandong's relentless pounding, the lock on the suite door constantly deformed and cracked.
Before long, with a loud bang, the bedroom door burst wide open!
Nan Ruyan tumbled to the floor.
"Bitch, I'm going to finish you!"
Li Jiandong said malevolently, clutching a kitchen knife.
At this moment, Nan Ruyan felt a bone-chilling cold, as if she had plummeted into an icy abyss.
With a sinister grin, Li Jiandong stepped forward and without a word, slapped her across the face.
Smack!
A clear red handprint appeared on Nan Ruyan's exquisitely beautiful face.
"Li Jiandong, can't you stop doing this?"
This slap brought tears streaming down Nan Ruyan's face as she could do nothing but plead incessantly.
"Still harboring illusions, are you?"
"Still waiting for a rescue, are you?"
Li Jiandong wore a lecherous smile.
"Not to mention that so-called esper, knowing you've turned into a zombie, will surely never come!"
"Even if he's planning to come take a look, will he get here that fast?"
"Before he arrives, I'll already be done!"
Li Jiandong's gaze was greedy as he stared at Nan Ruyan sitting on the floor.
This posture displayed Nan Ruyan's slender, beautiful legs and voluptuous hips to absolute perfection.
"Fucking exhilarating!"
He raised the kitchen knife, holding it horizontally against Nan Ruyan's snow-white neck.
"Move, and I'll chop off your head!"
Nan Ruyan's expression went blank, her heart sinking to the very bottom.
Li Jiandong narrowed his eyes, preparing to step forward and kiss Nan Ruyan's pretty face.
Right at that moment, however, a furious roar suddenly echoed from afar.
"You're courting death!!"
The voice shook the heavens and earth, leaving Li Jiandong stunned in his tracks.
In the next instant, a black figure shattered the window and burst inside, moving with the speed of lightning... kicking fiercely into Li Jiandong's chest.
With a "whoosh,"
Li Jiandong's body flew several meters, slamming heavily into the wall before sliding down to the floor.
He had no idea what had just happened; he only felt as though he had been directly struck by a heavy truck, his internal organs had all shifted positions, and heaven knows how many ribs in his chest had broken!
He collapsed onto the ground like a dead dog!
