Chapter 469: Chapter 466: Why Laugh_1

"Tsk tsk," Tang Ye let out an eerie chuckle.

"You ran really fast yesterday, and yet you dare appear before me today. That Jin Wenyi is your boyfriend, isn’t he? His arm’s been chopped off. Heh heh, I don’t really like bad guys, so how about I chop off both your arms..."

He looked her up and down as he spoke, then continued, "Although you’re flat-chested, you’re not badly built and could be considered a beauty. Hmm... Jin Wenyi is quite famous. What would happen if I take his girlfriend away? I think many people will like that, right?"

All the while, chuckling weirdly. For some reason, Tang Ye was very keen to see the expression on her face. Surprisingly, Chen Bieli showed no strange reaction. She looked at Tang Ye as he looked at her, standing tall with her hands behind her back and holding a large syringe.

"Hm?"

Tang Ye looked at Chen Bieli, who showed no hint of fear, and frowned, "Aren’t you scared?"

Scared, so what? You’re not going to kill me then?"

Caught off guard by her sudden retort, Tang Ye choked on his breath. He cast a glance at Chen Chaoyang, who motioned for him to act, and he advanced towards Chen Bieli with his knife drawn.

A Level 2 New Human came towards her, knife in hand, clearly harboring malicious intent, but Chen Bieli still wore a smile and showed no fear.

All onlookers felt a sense of bewilderment. This was not how a normal person reacts when faced with death. Did she have any means to fight back against Chen Chaoyang? What was her secret?

Everyone knew she is Jin Wenyi’s fiancee, but as an ordinary person, she could only rely on Jin Wenyi. But Jin Wenyi was not there now, so what kind of mentality would allow this girl, who’s not even a Level 1 New Human, to keep her smile in the face of life and death?

Chen Chaoyang soon arrived in front of Chen Bieli, ready to raise his knife to behead her. But even before he moved, Chen Bieli revealed the large syringe from behind her and aimed it at his waist.

It was only then Chen Chaoyang managed to lift his blade. Level 2 New Humans are fast, but Chen Bieli made the first move. When she jabbed with the syringe, she didn’t have any special technique, she simply stabbed at his waist.

Just as the blade fell, Chen Chaoyang had been stabbed with the syringe from Chen Bieli’s hand. That instant, Chen Bieli pressed the plunger and the green liquid inside was injected into Chen Chaoyang’s body.

He only felt all his strength being drained away at once, everything slowing down and then stiffening as if all the blood in his body stopped flowing. Without any warning, Chen Chaoyang fell straight to the ground, his rising and falling chest indicating that he was still alive.

All onlookers were stupefied, somewhat perplexed about the situation. Did the syringe Chen Bieli was holding contain life? It was incredibly powerful!

"Martial arts?" Tang Ye also frowned. He had watched the entire thing. As Chen Chaoyang approached, she had prepared and made her move first. Her speed wasn’t fast and from Tang Ye’s perspective, a Level 6 zombie, she was slow like a snail, but Chen Chaoyang had no response.

This made Tang Ye suspect Chen Bieli of training in martial arts. Since the apocalypse, he had come across many who were skilled in combat like Ning Tianlang, the people from the Yindan Base Seventh Group, the Level 3 New Human old man, and Su Sigui; strong individuals with combat skills.

When fighting against them, even though Tang Ye held the upper hand in terms of power, he wasn’t always able to beat them immediately because he lacked combat skills.

For example, during his fight with the Level 3 New Human old man from the Yindan Base, despite being a Level 4, it took more than ten minutes for a victor to be determined due to the old man’s combat skills. As long as there isn’t too much difference in individual abilities, the rest can often be made up with combat techniques.

When fighting against someone trained in martial arts, they could potentially guess your next move, which Tang Ye didn’t find strange.

He also suspected Chen Bieli could be a New Human and hiding it. Tang Ye could do the same thing simply by reducing the activity of the flesh and blood molecules in his body.

But Chen Bieli radiates an ordinary human aura that made it hard for Tang Ye to be sure if she was truly hiding her strength.

Soon, Tang Ye rose to his feet, pulling Yan Jie’s mutant zombie-killing blade out of his body, and walked towards Chen Bieli with a strong desire to kill.

Perhaps it was a clever trick that took Chen Chaoyang by surprise, but in the face of absolute power, everything else was nothing!

As expected, seeing Tang Ye approaching with a knife, Chen Bieli’s eyes flickered, but there was no fear on her face.

In just a few steps, Tang Ye was standing right in front of her. The mutant zombie-killing blade was raised and with an astonishing force, he hacked at Chen Bieli’s shoulder.

This blade was filled with a chilling killing intent. Its tremendous power traversed from the handle to the blade, stirring the air around the blade’s tip. As it moved, a white arc was drawn. This was the manifestation of power reaching a certain degree.

The moment Chen Bieli mocked him, Tang Ye had decided not to spare her life. He hated people with sharp tongues the most, especially those who could infuriate him just by words!

There was no particular reason why except that Tang Ye had encountered too many of these people during his childhood, people he couldn’t fight back or even win verbally!

After Chen Chaoyang fell to the ground, she didn’t do anything else, just holding the large syringe with both hands, gazing at Tang Ye’s face, waiting for his blade to fall.

"Hehe~"

Just before the blade completely fell, she suddenly laughed. This laugh seemed to drain the color from the world. The dust drifting in the air stopped, the people leaving were frozen...

Tang Ye was stunned. This laugh... it was so familiar...

Whoosh!

The thoughts in his mind were chaotically swirling. Countless images flashed across rapidly, finally stopping at a girl who had always been waiting for him to return behind the door of the Honglin High School Female Dormitory.

The face of that girl when she saw him open the door was this very smile. He could never forget it, it was the only warmth he had experienced in his life.

It was insignificant, but it gave him comfort in the despair Changjue instilled in him.

How could he forget?

Whoosh!

Once again, the images in his mind flickered and then fixated on an old picture.

"Little Mister, I have a wish..."

Just as Tang Ye was about to strike Chen Bieli, he forcefully controlled his strength and ground his knife to a halt. The sudden stop stirred a gentle wind, rustling people’s robes.

Even though Tang Ye’s attack was called back in time, the blade still brushed against her shoulder, the sharp blade easily shredding the fabric of her sleeve and nicking her delicate shoulder.

Close as he was, Tang Ye noticed her clothes were clean but worn. The sunflower on her white shirt had faded from many washes.

"Why are you laughing? Who are you?" Tang Ye asked, confusion thick in his voice.

"Can’t I laugh? Um... My name is Chen Bieli. I am just who I am. What’s wrong?"
