The City of Terror
chapter-320

Shan Bing steadily regained consciousness.

Wei Xiao Bei slowly approached him. He didn’t do so to display his dominance, but instead in response to the strange house behind him. He was on high alert, and ready to escape at any time.

“What is this place…? Mom, I want to go home — I want to go home now!”

Shan Bing had without a doubt seen the Lickers.

He was having a mental breakdown due to the sight of such a scary and bizarre creature. He cried out like a three-year-old child who was in desperate need of their mom.

Seeing the originally high-spirited and reckless young master in such a state, We Xiao Bei couldn’t help but sigh.

He didn’t sympathize with him, but he couldn’t help but exclaim over the huge changes that had occurred.

In fact, if it was half a year ago, Wei Xiao Bei would have been envious of someone born into a rich family like Shan Bing.

His father was one of the real estate tycoons in Cui Hu City, and his mom’s family had a strong business background as well. From birth, Shan Bing held hundreds of millions of yuan in shares in both family businesses.

This meant Shan Bing wouldn’t have to worry about money even if he acted dumb his entire life. If he did, he could still splurge on occasion and fool around with girls without worry.

However, a character like him was losing his mind, crying for his mother in front of Wei Xiao Bei.

For Wei Xiao Bei, the Dust World was a golden opportunity to change his fate.

For Huang Kun, it was a chance to fulfill his dream of mastering martial arts. For people like Shan Bing however, it was an unforgettable nightmare.

“Enough. Stop crying.”

Wei Xiao Bei walked forward and lightly kicked Shan Bing, who was sitting on the floor, crying.

Shan Bing, however, seemed as though his senses were detached from the outside world. He continued crying, giving no reaction.

After some careful thought, Wei Xiao Bei grabbed Shan Bing and ran out of the plaza.

Not far from the plaza, a few zombies wandered closer, attracted by Shan Bing’s cries.

Wei Xiao Bei threw Shan Bing to the ground and equipped his Hard Metal Jian. Whipping out towards the zombies, he broke their arms and knocked out their teeth. He then returned to the crying Shan Bing, standing behind him.

Even without arms and teeth the zombies continued to attack and pounced at Shan Bing.

Without their arms and teeth, the zombies were essentially harmless. However, the feeling of their blackened gums munching on Shan Bing’s face still caused him to fearfully shriek.

“What are you doing? Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me — Ah! Mom!”

Shortly after his anxious shouts, he fell down once again and fainted. It was probably too scary for him to see zombies close-up so soon after he had his ego shattered.

The scene left Wei Xiao Bei dumbfounded.

It wasn’t that Shan Bing was a coward, for even he found it unbearable to be that close to zombies.

The now egoless Shan Bing’s reaction was like a stand-up comedy. You couldn’t tell him apart from a fifteen-year-old girl encountering a perverted uncle.

By the time Shan Bing awoke, Wei Xiao Bei had already moved him to the top floor of the plaza’s department store.

Wei Xiao Bei had changed clothes and sat waiting on the parapet.

The first thing Shan Bing noticed when he awoke was his clothes were missing. He crossed his arms around his chest and glared at Wei Xiao Bei fiercely, struggling to conceal his fear.

Wei Xiao Bei noticed the change in Shan Bing’s breathing, so he turned his head towards him He found Shan Bing glaring at him, and after some thought couldn’t help but laugh. “I didn’t know you’d be such a masochist. Put on your clothes. I’m not interested in men, especially you.”

After listening to Wei Xiao Bei’s words, Shan Bing realized his asshole felt fine. There wasn’t a stinging feeling like he expected. On his left, there was a pile of clothes covered with black blood. The only dirt on the clothes came from the zombies who had pounced on him.

On his right, there was a set of folded clothes.

Shan Bing hurriedly put on the clothes, occasionally glancing at Wei Xiao Bei. The odd looks caused a chill in Wei Xiao Bei’s spine.

“Brother Wei, can you please send me back?”

Shan Bing stood five meters away from Wei Xiao Bei, and after some hesitation finally revealed his request. He even added the title “Brother” when addressing Wei Xiao Bei to add some persuasiveness.

Although Wei Xiao Bei didn’t say anything when girls like Zhang Tian Tian or Zhu Xin Yi called him Brother Wei, it did indeed make him feel quite good.

It was natural for a man to fantasize about playing the role of a big brother, and especially to pretty girls. The ambiguous sexual tension would even excite men.

However, when the pretty girl was replaced by a frightened pretty boy who stood there looking weak, Wei Xiao Bei’s reaction was understandable.

Urghh!

Wei Xiao Bei had a strong urge to vomit.

Forcibly suppressing the urge, Wei Xiao Bei overcame his disgust. “Speak properly! Don’t act like such a pussy!”

His words upset Shan Bing, who felt as though he was wronged.

Why am I a pussy? Didn’t I speak properly?

Of course, Shan Bing suddenly realized that he was indeed a pussy without his wealthy family shielding him.

Fuck!

Shan Bing impulsively swore. “I’m not a pussy!”

He naturally wanted to cover this up. Yet, the next moment, he was scared. Regardless of whether this guy was Li Lan Xing’s boyfriend, he still recalled the battle between Wei Xiao Bei and those Lickers.

This guy is too strong!

He already saw Lickers in the movie. Even without studying the differences between the Lickers in Dust World and the movie, he could already tell the ones in the Dust World were stronger just by judging their speed.

I probably shouldn’t offend someone like him, especially if I’m still competing against him over Li Lan Xing!

Shan Bing hoped that he’d have amnesia, and forget every scary thing he had experienced.

Just thinking about his earlier experiences made him tremble.

“I didn’t say you were a sissy, I said you were a pussy. You didn’t have to swear to cover it up.”

Wei Xiao Bei didn’t want to give him any sympathy whatsoever. Besides, with Shan Bing’s plans towards Li Lan Xing, he couldn’t help but feel inexplicably angry. Thus, Wei Xiao Bei wasn’t lenient with his words and critically insulted Shan Bing to expose his guise of strength.

“You!”

Shan Bing couldn’t defend himself anymore.

Although he was born with a silver spoon, he wasn’t immune to punishment and didn’t have a perverted hobby.

To some, Shan Bing could still be considered well-behaved.

He didn’t smoke, drink, take drugs or engage in random sexual acts. Despite being born in wealth, Shan Bing had somehow avoided most aspects of a hedonistic lifestyle.

However, he still participated in illegal car racing, was obsessed with beauty, had a bad personality and carelessly splurged.

Of course, in the eyes of his mother, Shan Bing was extremely outstanding despite being suspended from a private university.

Her pampering boosted Shan Bing’s confidence, and he always got what he wanted. Yet, when Xiao Wei Bei exposed his plans, he felt guilty and ashamed. His only option was to remind himself he was a gentleman, one who shouldn’t be bothered by boorish men such as Xiao Wei Bei.

In the eyes of Shan Bing, it was impossible for him to explain much to an uncouth man like Wei Xiao Bei.

Of course, if he brought his bodyguards Wei Xiao Bei would know how powerful he was!

Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t read minds, so he didn’t know what Shan Bing was thinking. He took out a bottle of mineral water and some barbecued meat from his Small Holding Bag and gestured for Shan Bing to come closer.

Shan Bing was indeed quite hungry.

He had been previously thinking of inviting Li Lan Xing to a candle-lit dinner. Unfortunately, the dinner plan was not only unsuccessful, but he ended up in this place, scared and out of his mind.

The barbecued meat Wei Xiao Bei took out of his Small Holding Bag was still hot, and quite enticing. The smell made Shan Bing salivate, forcing him to repeatedly swallow saliva to hide his interest. His eyes betrayed him, however, as he couldn’t move his eyes away from the golden barbecued meat.

The sight of it made Shan Bing feel as though he was eating the meat right now. He was so fixated by it he stopped swallowing, saliva now uncontrollably drooling from the edge of his mouth.

“I already said I’d give it to you! Don’t be such a pussy! We are both men. Come closer if you want it, and starve if you don’t!”

Wei Xiao Bei wasn’t Shan Bing’s mom, so he naturally wouldn’t pamper him. Noticing his hesitation, Wei Xiao Bei acted as though he was going to eat the meat.

“Don’t, I want it!”

His body’s desires had immediately suppressed any thought of keeping his face after being shouted at by Wei Xiao Bei. Shan Bing had answered quickly, though he was worried that Wei Xiao Bei was tricking him.

After all, Shan Bing wasn’t a complete fool. He had already observed the structures around him and had noticed they were all in states of ruin and disrepair. It was clear this land wasn’t one of safety and was instead more akin to the apocalypse.

Looking for food in a place like this would be as hard as looking for water in the desert.

As the future successor of a big corporation, his parents made sure they didn’t just pamper him and succeeded in expanding his world view.

Wei Xiao Bei didn’t say much. He threw the barbecued meat and mineral water at him.

Despite being flustered at the sudden throw, Shan Bing managed to catch the barbecued meat.

Based on this, it was clear that Shan Bing wasn’t stupid. His reaction speed was quick, and he knew to catch the barbecued meat instead of the water bottle, which wouldn’t get dirty after falling to the floor.
