Lord of End of World

Chapter 109

In the middle of the night, after having fun at the banquet hall, Bao Long returned to his room with the help of two women. He thought that when he opened the door of his room, he could see the white and tender young man, stripped and lying on his bed. But he didn’t expect that the room was empty and he couldn’t even see the shadow of a ghost.

Bao Long searched frantically in the room and called out loudly for someone to find Nie Rong. Nie Rong was the man he had sent after the youth. The guard standing outside the door answered and went to search. Bao Long had smoked a lot of mutant tobacco and it was just about the time that his lust was at its peak. He called the two women to bed while he waited and he desperately rubbed against them and played with them. In the end, the three of them huddled together in bed.

As soon as he plunged head-first into his lust, Bao Long forgot about others. He put the two women on his bed and fucked them until they passed out. He lay down beside them on the bed and fell asleep, completely forgetting his search for Nie Rong and Gong Lixin.

It was not until noon of the next day after Bao Long woke up from his sleep and saw the two women lying on his bed, did he immediately think of Gong Lixin who was supposed to be the one sleeping here. He called the guard from yesterday and questioned him.

Nie Rong had turned into ashes, how the guards find him. He had to bite the bullet and report the news that the other person had disappeared without a trace. Bao Long was furious and sent out more than 20 subordinates to search every inch of land on Long Snake Island, to search among people, dead and alive.

Even so, he was still unable to see through the problems in his own actions, so he didn’t have the face to ask Gong Lixin on that point. He endured. Finally, when he couldn’t find Nie Rong on the next day, he relented and made his subordinate go call Gong Lixin.

Being the son of a territory leader, it wasn’t beyond him to make use of violence. If Gong Lixin were to come after him, it wold be the perfect excuse to take Gong Lixin into ‘custody’ and take Gong family’s resources and weapons. Bao Long strategized while chewing on a piece of human meat.

When Bao Long’s subordinate went to see Gong Lixin, the other was standing by the training ground and was watching his team members practising, commenting from time to time. Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran stood next to him, one on each side, smiling affectionately, making for a harmonious if a bit strange, atmosphere. They thought that waiting for them after that night was an impenetrable abyss, but they didn’t expect themselves to instead reach the peak and be given a chance to be with him. They were secretly glad. So much so that they weren’t even thinking about the other and was just trying to quickly consolidate their status in this relationship.

"Master Gong, our boss invites you to discuss something that happened in the past." The subordinate came forward. Although the title of ’master’ came out of his mouth, his eyes showed a look of contempt. He had already regarded Gong Lixin as a plaything.

Gong Lixin turned his face and looked at the other. His dark eyes shone like cold stars, "Your boss? Bao Long?"

"Yes. Master Gong, please come with me immediately." The man frowned, his expression showing his extreme impatience.

Gong Lixin seemed to think about it before he suddenly nodded. About Bao Long’s situation, he almost forgot about it because of all that happened. Since Bao Long was so insistent about him, he should go and talk to him, make sure that Bao Long knew that the ’dead’ had only a few letters.

"Okay, I’ll go with you." He wanted to end things, so he agreed. The subordinate saw that he agreed and the impatience on his face faded away. He raised his hand to signal him to follow.

Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran received a look from Gong Lixin and knew that he wanted to take this opportunity to kill Bao Long and seize Long Snake Island. His eyes narrowed and his head barely turned towards his team members on the training ground. They paused in their training and stepped back, prepared for whatever was coming.

Right then, the guard who always followed Gong Yuanhang rushed over while wearing a very anxious expression and sweating all over. Seeing Gong Lixin who was about to leave, he quickly raised his hand and shouted, "Young Master Gong! It’s not good, the chief had an accident."

"Gong Lixin stopped in his steps and immediately turned around, "What happened to my father?"

"Sir, the chief suddenly fainted just now and is being examined. The medic asked me to call you and Miss Gong." The guard said between panted breaths, his voice obviously flustered. Since the doctor specifically called for the members of the head’s family to be found, the head’s illness was then very serious.

Gong Lixin apparently thought the same as him. His face paled as while as a sheet and he turned towards the infirmary. Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran also had on an ugly expression and followed closely behind. The team members who were about to disperse gathered together again and rushed towards the infirmary. Gong Yuanhang was a man of righteousness. He took great care of his subordinates and of his people. His prestige on the base was not inferior to that of Gong Lixin. Although he was just an ordinary person, as the leader of the base, everyone was convinced by his words and supported him wholeheartedly. Hearing that he was sick, was there any other reason to worry?

When Bao Long’s subordinates saw this, his face showed an angry expression, but when he also saw that this situation was used by Gong Lixin in order to escape from Bao Long, he clasped the youth’s shoulders and threatened menacingly, "Master Gong, I advise you to follow me obediently. You can’t hide the first time and you can’t hide the fifteenth time. Even if Gong Yuanhang was dying, you have to attend our boss first before talking to him." The hand gripping his shoulder emitted an appalling heat. Strands of black smoke emanated from his palm, however, aside from the burning smell of cloth, the black smoke didn’t hold the smell of burning skin. The teenager didn’t scream or beg for tears either.

Even if the boy was a power ability user, he shouldn’t be able to resist being burned by a third-level low-grade fire ability user, unless his level was also above third-level low-grade. But how was that possible? At the base, there was only one third-level mid-grade ability user.

The man’s heart tightened at first, then relaxed again. He increased his power output. He planned to destroy Gong Lixin’s arm first to show his power. As long as the other had a human form, Bao Long, who had never been vegetarian, could eat to his heart’s content. But he didn’t expect that Gong Lixin had internal strength that could protect him. Even if a fifth-level fire zombie came, he’d barely be hurt, let alone a small third-level low-grade.

Gong Lixin was so anxious that he couldn’t use his humanity to think. He immediately wanted to fly to his father’s side but was stopped by this irritable dog. The other kept talking in his ears and he became more and more upset. He was getting more and more anxious and suddenly, turned to look at the man, his eyes full of killing intent.

The pure murderous intent was reflected crystal clear in his eyes and was clearly visible and intense to the extreme. It was even more daunting than the eyes of the world’s foulest and most vicious thugs. The man’s pupil contracted sharply for a moment and his brain suddenly received some kind of danger signal and he subconsciously wanted to retract his hand.

He found that the people who gradually surrounded him looked at him like he was already a dead man.

But before he could move, Gong Lixin had raised his index finger and moved it towards his brows. A ray of white sparks flashed and burned his flesh at a speed invisible to the naked eye, burning through his skill and through his brain. The fire continued to spread, from inside to outside, from top to bottom, burning him into a mass of ashes that fluttered to the ground. The whole process had taken only an instant.

Gong Lixin patted the large hole in his shirt at his shoulder before sweeping away towards the infirmary like a ghost, leaving only a residual image for others to see. The others were already used to this and stepped on the residual ash on the ground and walked towards the infirmary.

When this group of people walked away, the ashes on the ground had already become messy and the had scattered around with the wind, making the form intangible. No one could imagine that a few minutes ago, this was a living person.

If Young Master Gong killed people in the Eastern District, the news would not go far anyway. Bao Long thus waited for two nights in vain and also lost two extraordinary subordinates.

When Gong Lixin came to the infirmary, Gong Xiangyi and Grandfather Lin had already arrived and were sitting by Gong Yuanhang’s bedside. Grandfather Lin frowned deeply, anxious. Gong Xiangyi was leaning on the bed, crying her eyes out as she blamed the doctor standing beside them, "What did I tell you? I told you earlier that you should pay attention to my dad’s body at all times. He had a stomach ache and you didn’t notice anything at all! What do I support you for? It’s a waste of my food supply!"

"I’m sorry, Miss Gong. It was my negligence." The doctor looked embarrassed and often apologized. In fact, this was not a surprise to him. Today was the apocalypse and the medical facilities were deplorable. He could only use the most primitive ’measuring one’s pulse’ to treat people, but he was not a student of traditional Chinese medicine. Many times, he had to rely on his previous experience to make a judgement. Father Gong was a strong person and his physical discomfort, if he intentionally concealed it, even Gong Lixin wouldn’t see a hint of it, let alone outsiders.

"Now’s not the time to blame anyone. What’s exactly my father’s illness? How do we treat it?" Gong Lixin coldly interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Lixin, you’re here? Come and sit." Seeing the even calm Gong Lixin, Grandfather Lin was obviously relieved and patted the stool next to him.

"Grandfather, go and rest for a while, I’ll stay here." Gong Lixin appeased the anxious expression on Old Lin’s face before he looked at the doctor.

The doctor’s face was a little tense. He raised his finger and pointed at the door before he whispered, "Young Master Gong, let’s talk outside." He had been waiting for Gong Lixin, who was the backbone of the Gong family, to come.

Gong Xiangyi’s heart felt tight and her mind felt dizzy. Did that fatal day still come? Although it was two months later than her previous life, it still happened. So what was the point of checking his father’s body every other week and making him nutritious and healthy food every day?

She hurriedly stood up and followed Gong Lixin out. She walked to the corner of the corridor, her body couldn’t stop shaking and her footsteps were in a mess. Her father’s serious illness was the second secret she had been afraid to tell. How could she predict her father’s death? If her father listened to her words, he would be so scared that he’d make himself sick. She could only bear it silently and desperately persevere to not make it happen, but two months later, it still happened. She remembered the scene when her father, who had been diagnosed with stomach cancer in her last life and her temples throbbed painfully as if struck by lightning. If her father was gone, what would she do in this life? Wenbo had left her, hated and abandoned her. Who could she rely on to protect her forever?

The despair and loneliness of the future made her feel helpless. The overwhelming despair raged on, making Gong Xiangyi feel as if she fell into an ice cavern. Right then, she suddenly understood the feeling of Gong Lixin from her previous life. Why his temperament changed so much, why he gave up on himself, why he couldn’t find his own happiness...the roles were reversed this time and she now understood all the problems that had plagued him in her last life.
