Chapter 458: Chapter 136 I Feel Like I’m Made for Big Things_4

The most crucial thing is... he was also very young and extremely arrogant. After acquiring his powers, he blatantly exposed them, wanting everyone to know that he, Zhu Zhen, was powerful, possessing extraordinary abilities and would rule in this apocalyptic world.

"Haha, Zhou Yang, daddy has arrived."

Even though he had not yet arrived, they could already hear Zhu Zhen’s voice.

Zhou Yang followed the voice, saw a man with dyed white short hair, and stood up laughing, "Brother Zhu, what brings you here? Your West Ridge Sanctuary is developing quite well."

"Haha, it’s alright. Just yesterday, I took the guys to a military camp. We found a batch of firearms—it was freaking amazing. I thought about driving out a tank, but can you believe it, no one knew how to operate one. It’s just fucked up."

Zhu Zhen spoke without any filter, walking up to Zhou Yang and giving him a hug.

Zhou Yang laughed, gently patting his back, "Brother Zhu, if you have excess weapons, why not share some with your bro here?"

"Haha, you’re dreaming. If you want them, find them yourself or let’s trade." Zhu Zhen laughed, completely unafraid of offending Zhou Yang, then pulled out a chair, plopped down, stretched his legs on the coffee table, tilted his head back, and took in his surroundings. "This place is really nice—definitely top-notch defense. Much better than my crappy place."

Zhou Yang was not angered by his words, remaining calm.

"Brother Zhu, from the looks of it, you probably want to stir up some big trouble, right? Let’s hear it."

He knew that Zhu Zhen’s awakened ability was to have skin as hard as iron, impervious to clubs, swords, and blades, a truly dominating power. Even zombies couldn’t bite through him, putting him in an almost unbeatable position.

Zhu Zhen’s lips curled upward, habitually pulling out a dagger, disregarding the sharp blade as he gripped it, causing a grinding noise like metal rubbing together.

"Alright then, I’ll just say it. I want to attack a sanctuary. I won’t hide it; the place is Lucky Strike, which He Qing manages. You know He Qing, right? He used to be a well-known businessman in Huang City, connected with both the lawful and the unlawful, a high-and-mighty figure."

"But now it’s the apocalypse. I’m an Awakener, and I want to teach this guy a severe lesson. However, he’s no small fry, and I can’t handle him alone. I want to team up with you to take down Lucky Strike."

Zhu Zhen stared straight at Zhou Yang.

The implication was clear.

I’m determined to do this, and I want to rope you in.

Zhou Yang smiled, giving no answer. He understood that Zhu Zhen wasn’t looking to collaborate but to gauge his strength, especially since Zhu Zhen had acquired a batch of powerful firearms.

It seemed the only uncertainty for Zhu Zhen was his side, knowing that there was an Awakener—a female survivor known for quick awakening. In Zhu’s mind, that woman was already an Awakener, not likely to obediently follow his orders. Thus, he feared that Zhou might also be an Awakener, hesitating to make a move.

"Why bother, Brother Zhu? We’re all just trying to survive in the apocalypse. There are still so many zombies outside undelt with, why should we fight amongst ourselves? We could be fighting the zombies instead."

Zhou Yang said, thinking about what Han Shuang and the others had said, that the Sunshine District’s Lin Fan is not someone you can provoke. If you do bad things, and Brother Lin sets his eyes on you, you might struggle to stay alive.

"Pfft." Zhu Zhen sneered scornfully, "What are you talking about? Fight amongst ourselves? In my view, it’s only the survival of the fittest, the victor reigns supreme. I don’t care whether it’s the apocalypse or not. Awakeners like me are the new humans of the apocalypse; those regular people are already obsolete. He Qing isn’t an Awakener, and still needs bodyguards for protection. What can he possibly achieve with those resources?"

Zhou Yang looked at Zhu Zhen. "Brother Zhu, why do I feel like you’re sort of anti-human?"

Crack!

Zhu Zhen’s expression stiffened, his fingers clenched, crushing the dagger in his hand, coldly staring at Zhou Yang.

That was a very chilling look.

Zhou Yang met his gaze, maintaining his initial expression.

A moment later.

"Haha..." Zhu Zhen laughed, throwing the crushed dagger onto the coffee table. "Come on, bro, don’t put a high hat on me. I’m not anti-human. Just give me a straight answer—yes or no. We’ll split all loot fifty-fifty."

Zhou Yang knew Zhu Zhen was resolute in attacking Lucky Strike.

It was also a test for his own situation.

He surmised that in peaceful times, this guy was definitely a malcontent, surviving by chance in the apocalypse, lingering in other people’s sanctuaries barely making it. Once awakened, his ego inflated instantly, leading him to kill the original managers and take over the territory, continually plotting insane actions.

"Do you know how many sanctuaries there are in Huang City?" Zhou Yang asked.

Zhu Zhen replied, "How many sanctuaries? Just the usual ones. Even if people are staying in them, can they compare to us? We’re developing ruthlessly and dominantly."

Zhou Yang said, "Let’s not talk about how many sanctuaries there are. Do you know which sanctuary is the strongest?"

Listening to Zhou Yang.

Zhu Zhen laughed, "You’re not going to say it’s yours, are you?"

Zhou Yang shook his head.

"Then is it mine?"

Zhou Yang still shook his head.

Zhu Zhen frowned, "Don’t tell me it’s Lucky Strike. I admit they have many people, but to say they’re strong, I utterly disagree."

Zhou Yang said, "Do you know about the Sunshine District Sanctuary?"
