Crossdressing To Survive An Apocalypse

Chapter 262 – Fake It Until You Make It

Zou Yue entered the barrack after a long time. The place was unchanged, but there were new faces among the groups. The number of ability soldiers had increased. They were all practicing in the ground up front in group.

Water ability users were training in forming a small controlled water ball. Earth ability users used their powers to create a small pit and filled them up simultaneously.

Looking at this from afar, everything looked harmonious.

Everyone looked harmonious.

But Yue noticed their looks. Some had a look of envy while looking at the talented ones. Some even made painful jabs at each other.

Talented and talentless ones were excluded from the clicks.

'Is this a good thing or a bad thing, I have no clue.'

A hand gently held his gloved ones.

He glanced up at Fan Xui who silently looked down at him. "Well here we are. I've dropped you off safely. Go in now,"

Fan Xui frowned. "You're not coming in?"

"No, I have to plant the trees. I just came here to drop my boyfriend off."

Fan Xui silently peered at him.

"Aren't you going in?"

"No… I don't want to," he pouted.

"go on, I'll be waiting for you at home. Go finish your work and come back soon, okay?" He stood on his tippy toes and kissed his cheeks. "bye~"

With a small smile on his face, Fan Xui walked into the barrack.

A girl suddenly stood in front of him. "Fan… thank you for saving me. you remember mem right? I'm Huijin,"

Fan Xui did not spare her a glance.

"It's good you ignored her. She is a fucking leech. So not classy," the girl in the mini skirt said form nearby.

Fan Xui subtly looked at them both. 'One girl pretends to be innocent while the cowardice girl acts all haughty. What a combination. It's better to stay far away from these problematic people.'

He kept an arm's distance from them both.

The rich-looking girl stopped in his way. "you are the one in charge of taking care of the people right. Arrange for me to stay with Hary. He will be my official bodyguard."

"Hary is a general," he coldly whispered.

The girl's eyes shone even brighter with greed. "even better. House me with him,"

"Sorry he already has roommates," he pushed her out of the way and walked in.

"How dare you push me out of the way! Hey, you stop! I'm Meili heiress of the Mei enterprises! You guys all are sponsored by him!! It's my dad's money!" she shouted.

The snake-like girl who was right beside her softly mumbled, "It's not normal times. You can't use your powers to cause a ruckus. Don't give trouble to Fan ah,"

"Who are you talking to, bitch? You don't even have the status to stand in my shadows."

"I have a name. Don't call me bitch." The girl pitifully squeezed out some tears throwing glances his way.

Fan Xui was very disgusted by these two. At least he was okay dealing with the loud one, but the silent scheming girl was getting on his nerve.

He just shook his head and walked away.

As soon as he left that place, the silent girl's expression changed. "stop shouting like a bitch. You think you can fool me. Look at you from top to bottom covered in fakes. You are not the Mei family's daughter. You are nothing but a fucking scam artist. Get out of my face bitch. The next time I see you I will tear your hair from your small head." she said with a smile and walked away.

Meili silently trembled in that spot. She made sure the brand names were flashy but who knew a country bumpkin could recognize her fakes..

If this got out, she will be chased out into the street and would have to beg for food.

She cleared her throat and regained her composure. That Huijin girl did not bother with her unless she got in her way. So she decided to stay away from her.

As she walked inside the barrack and hand suddenly gripped her tightly and pulled her into a dark room.

"Let go! Let go of me! You bastard! Don't you dare touch me! My father will get you! he will…"

The assailant slapped her hard.

"Shut your trap girl. Is she the one?"

"Yes," a scrawny-looking man came out from the shadows.

Meili trembled silently.

"You fake rich girl. You know that kid right," he opened the door and pointed to the young man who was walking away from the barracks.

Gulping, she nodded. "He was the one who saved me last time…"

"Good, good. We have got ourselves a great bait. You girl will bring him to us. I will give you the time and date. Just bring him to that location and your job is done,"

"W-why should I do that…."

"Why should you?" the scrawny man looked at his accomplices. "this one is funny. She's asking why? Isn't she cute…"

He slapped her across the cheek once again.

"You have no choice but to." He shoved a small white packet. "add that to his food and bring him to you. Fail to do it…. I will…. I don't think I need to explain what I will do to you right,"

Meili gulped and nodded. Inside she was secretly scheming for a way to get the protection of the man of her dreams. He was a general if she could tell Intel about this group which was trying to kidnap his friend. 'harry will be indebted to me right?'

The man suddenly grabbed her chin hard enough to crack her bone.

Meili silently sobbed. "I can see your eyes scheming. Let me burst your bubble. If you do anything unnecessary I will skin you alive. Do you want to experience how it feels like," he griped her hand and cut into her hand by her elbow.

"ahh!"

"Shh shh" he cupped her mouth close. "Feel that pain. It will be much worse than that. I will be skinning you alive inch by inch until your face will be pealed. You know I can make a mask out for you…"

Hearing all this Meili remembered something. A few years ago there was very popular news about a serial killer who was caught. He used to skin his victims alive and would make a mask out of their skin. He even made a fucking human skin diary and wrote down all of his crimes.

Meili nodded violently. The chances of this man being that criminal were high. She did not want to get involved with him or cross him in any way possible.

If she had to sacrifice another man's life she would do it to protect herself.

"I-I will do it! I will bring him,"

"good girl~"
