Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 173

Hearing Cheng Yue’s plea for help, Su Yan gritted her teeth. “You brought people to besiege the safe zone, and you still want me to save you!”

“It wasn’t me, it was He Wen! He Wen came for Sheng Nuan, not me…”

Cheng Yue continued begging as she drew closer, but not a single person on the wall moved to help her.

She had guessed this would happen, but still held onto a final sliver of hope: it didn’t matter if no one saved her, as long as they didn’t attack her and let her escape into the city.

If she could just survive this ordeal, if she could make it through, she would kill all of them… kill them all!

At this moment, the city wall was just in front of her.

Cheng Yue’s eyes brightened as she leaped toward the wall, but Su Yan quickly raised her gun and fired.

The bullet struck Cheng Yue under her ribs, and though she gritted her teeth, she refused to retreat… Just as she was about to climb the wall, however, an invisible barrier suddenly blocked her and threw her back.

A look of pure terror flashed across Cheng Yue’s eyes, but she had no time to react as she plummeted to the ground with a crash.

At the same time, an aberration lunged at her from behind, grabbing her leg…

With no hope of escape left, Cheng Yue let out a heart-wrenching, venomous scream as she frantically set fires, her eyes locked on the people standing atop the wall…

Moments later, she and the aberrations were swallowed by a sea of flames…

……

The crisis came swiftly but was resolved just as quickly. Everyone had survived unscathed, and they cheered in victory atop the wall.

The Peashooters and other plants outside would survive for a few more hours, so once Su Yan confirmed that there were no more threats, she sent people out to open the gate and clear the battlefield.

After all, with so many aberration corpses, the stench could attract new ones.

Sheng Nuan and Xiao Wu returned to the city, and before leaving, she reminded Su Yan, “Chop off all their heads before burying the bodies, just in case…”

Aberrations had tenacious life forces, and even if they appeared lifeless, one bite at an unguarded moment could spell disaster.

Su Yan nodded solemnly and immediately relayed the instructions…

Soon, the searchlights came on, and a group of people headed out to clean up the battlefield.

Lu Yu was also among them…

He had already heard from his comrades that Cheng Yue had led the attack on the city and then reaped what she had sown.

Looking at the scorched remains and the mess of severed limbs, Lu Yu felt dazed…

The Cheng Yue in his memory was gentle and kind.

Back when they were in school, his family was poor, and Cheng Yue had helped him both openly and discreetly, always being careful to protect his dignity while doing so.

Later, just when he had finally gathered the courage to confess his feelings, the apocalypse struck, and they were separated… and then he met the warm and lively Sheng Nuan.

At first, he hadn’t actually intended to be with Sheng Nuan, but over time, he was unknowingly drawn in by her warmth and cheerful spirit… It was only now that Lu Yu remembered how sweet that time with Sheng Nuan had been, until the incident at the base forced them to flee.

After Sheng Nuan’s disfigurement, she became suspicious and often hysterical. He had been at a loss, and that’s when he reunited with Cheng Yue… Cheng Yue was still as gentle as he remembered.

She was all alone, helpless and vulnerable, and Lu Yu couldn’t help but want to protect her. At the time, he knew that his care for Cheng Yue had crossed certain boundaries, but in his mind, he didn’t think there was anything truly going on between them…

And then, he lost Sheng Nuan, and it happened without him even realizing it.

He had always thought that, like the countless times before, Sheng Nuan was just angry with him and would eventually come back. After all, she was disfigured, and no one else would want her… Until one day, he finally understood that he and Sheng Nuan had completely parted ways.

But then he realized that Cheng Yue was no longer the person he remembered… And later, at the Wild Fox Base, he had nearly died in the fire while Cheng Yue evolved in the midst of disaster.

He had gone from being her protector to her lackey, a dog at her beck and call…

And now, Sheng Nuan wouldn’t even spare him a glance.

Lu Yu mechanically hacked at the heads of aberration corpses with his knife, tossing the bodies into the back of the truck.

At that moment, his movements suddenly froze, and he stared blankly at the charred and ruined corpse on the ground.

It was Cheng Yue…

The only human corpse, and… the necklace around her neck, one he was all too familiar with…

She had been reduced to a small, charred remnant, extremely miserable…

Lu Yu raised his knife, his lips pressed tightly together, eyes burning with heat… The next moment, he lowered his blade powerlessly, tossed Cheng Yue’s body onto the pile of aberration corpses, and turned away without looking back…

Two hours later, Lu Yu and another evolver drove the truck to dispose of the bodies.

The earth-type evolver got out of the truck, found a spot, and used his ability to quickly create a large, deep pit. Lu Yu backed the truck up to the edge of the pit… The evolver reached out to open the truck’s rear compartment.

But just then, a charred hand suddenly shot out, grabbing the evolver…

Lu Yu heard a scream and froze, then saw through the rearview mirror that the evolver was standing there, convulsing. A shadow clung to his back, viciously tearing into his neck.

Lu Yu felt his scalp tingle and slammed the gas pedal, driving away as fast as he could…

His mind was blank, and after driving for a long time, he glanced back in terror, only to see the empty wasteland behind him.

It hadn’t followed?

What was that?

Could it be…

Lu Yu thought of the only possible explanation, and his entire body began to shudder.

Just then, with a sudden thud, he was jolted violently. He quickly looked up, only to see a head slowly dangling upside down from the window beside him.

The charred face was unrecognizable, but the familiar necklace swayed as the blackened corpse grinned at him with a mouth full of dripping bl00d. Then… its mouth suddenly opened into a huge maw, filled with sharp teeth…

……

Not long after, the truck returned to the safe zone.

The guard at the gate glanced at Lu Yu’s familiar face, checked the empty truck bed, and waved him through.

But a moment later, something suddenly occurred to him. “Wait, did he just go out alone?”

His companion shrugged, not knowing. “No idea, probably?”

“Oh…”

The truck drove steadily through the streets, heading toward Su Yan and the others’ residence.

Once inside, “Lu Yu” walked straight ahead.

Someone called out to him, “Back already? All the bodies taken care of?”

“Lu Yu” turned his head to look at the person, his lips curving into a stiff smile. “Yeah.”

The man, suddenly remembering something, smiled mischievously, and leaned in closer to Lu Yu. “Hey, you know that beauty who came today? I was cleaning and overheard some noises coming from her room all day and night. That delicate pretty boy must be squeezed dry by now, tsk…”

Just as he was speaking, the man frowned. “Why do you smell so bad? You, um—”

Suddenly, a tube-like appendage shot out from Lu Yu’s mouth, piercing directly into the man’s mouth.

The man convulsed violently, unable to resist as “Lu Yu” dragged him into the nearby room.

After a while, “Lu Yu” walked out of the room, letting out a satisfied burp before continuing on with a smile…

At the same time, Sheng Nuan was being pestered by Xiao Wu.

Since the end of the battle, Xiao Wu had been clinging to her, begging for affection. Even after she rejected him, he refused to give up… She kicked him off the bed, half-laughing and half-crying. “You’re insatiable! Are you a male dog in heat?”

Standing by the bed, Xiao Wu gazed at her with a low, pitiful voice. “Has Sister grown tired of me?”

He asked, “Or has Sister taken a liking to that He Wen today?”

He Wen?

Sheng Nuan laughed in exasperation. “What would I like about him? Like that he’s a pervert?”

“Sister likes a good-looking face… and his is still decent.”

Sheng Nuan was at a complete loss for words, too lazy to argue with him anymore. “Get out, get out, find another place to sleep tonight…”

Xiao Wu quietly looked at her. “No!”

Sheng Nuan laughed angrily…

Just then, she suddenly sensed something, and her expression instantly turned cold. She quickly sprang to her feet, darting to the door in a flash. After a brief pause, she cracked the door open slightly.

Outside, there was nothing but dead silence…
