Apocalyptic Villain: Female Leads, Don't Even Think About Running

This divine weapon was powerful enough to last until the end of the apocalypse, but unfortunately, it was a hammer-type weapon. Ye Zian felt it was too ostentatious and would hinder his speed.

In his opinion, the Tang sword was still the most practical, so he decided to pass this weapon on to Anna.

He wondered how she would thank him for it.

These imposing hammers were originally Su Chen's weapons from his past life.

The other purple card, the spatial ring, had also been upgraded. Not only had its storage capacity increased tenfold, but it also gained the skill "Spatial Barrier," creating a semicircular protective shield with a five-meter radius.

Originally, this ring belonged to Lin Qianshan.

After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, Ye Zian collected the zombies' cerebrospinal fluid along with more than ten cards of varying white and green qualities. He had to admit that today had been quite fruitful.

As the sky began to darken, Ye Zian hurried toward the residential area.

Wang Yan had calmed the others and noticed that the benefactor who had just left had returned, now staying in the hotel across the street.

Although she had been imprisoned by Zhao Long, she was aware of the dangers of Xucheng Bridge and realized he must have encountered significant trouble there.

In a presidential suite of the hotel, Lin Qianshan and twenty team members watched the distant Xucheng Bridge, where the booming roars of the Rampaging Brutal King echoed intermittently.

This made Lin Qianshan feel both frightened and anxious, caught in a conflict of emotions.

She hoped the roars would stop, which would mean Ye Zian might have killed the Rampaging Brutal King.

Yet she also feared the silence, as it would imply that Ye Zian was still locked in combat with the King.

The Rampaging Brutal King's massive frame was clearly formidable.

Time ticked by, and the sky grew darker.

Ten minutes passed without any more roars from the zombies, raising the tension in everyone's hearts to their throats.

Had Ye Zian succeeded?

Wang Yan, knowing everything, also began to worry for Ye Zian. In her eyes, he had saved her life and was willing to protect female survivors like her.

A deep voice suddenly filled the room, breaking the oppressive atmosphere.

"Look! It's the boss!"

A shadow was spotted rushing toward them from the direction of Xucheng Bridge, quickly noticed by the sharp-eyed Anna.

Lin Qianshan dashed to the window to gaze into the distance.

At that moment, Ye Zian casually strolled into the hotel entrance, appearing calm and composed.

Without caring about the others' gazes, Lin Qianshan turned and raced downstairs, throwing herself into Ye Zian's embrace.

"Brother Zian, you're back!"

This endearing term was something Lin Qianshan had learned from Liu Qinghuan and best represented her affections.

Seeing the worried expression on Lin Qianshan's face, Ye Zian knew that his efforts in training her had not been in vain.

Ye Zian took Lin Qianshan's delicate right hand and placed the spatial ring on her ring finger.

Lin Qianshan was momentarily taken aback but quickly realized what it was. Feeling the ring's power, she recognized it was many times stronger than Chen Ruoxue's, which was obtained from the system store and could not be enhanced.

A wave of happiness washed over her, and she stood on tiptoe, gently kissing Ye Zian's lips, to which Ye Zian greedily responded.

The others tactfully stayed upstairs, giving the two some time alone, but Anna had no such reservations. She shouted as she came down the stairs, "Boss, I thought I wouldn't be able to practice with you again!"

Anna bounded down the stairs, causing the steps to tremble with her weight.

"Pfft! I'm not that easy to kill; let's continue," Ye Zian replied.

A golden card glimmered in the air, which Anna caught with a puzzled expression.

This was—

Upon seeing the information on the card, even Anna's usually carefree face flushed with embarrassment.

Ye Zian had only seen her look this way once, after they had eaten hot pot together.

The card was immediately activated by Anna, and two imposing golden hammers appeared in her hands.

"They're so heavy!"

As soon as the cards were summoned, Anna underestimated their weight, and the hammers fell to the ground with a loud crash.

The once solid stairs were dented by the impact of the hammers.

Anna rolled up her sleeves, determined to show her strength, and lifted the two hammers, swinging them a few times in the air.

Each hammer weighed fifty kilograms, which was quite strenuous for Anna at this stage.

However, with her talent and experience in battling zombies, she would surely become an ability user by tomorrow night, at which point she could wield the hammers with ease.

But Anna was not one to wait. Seeing Ye Zian downstairs, a mischievous smile spread across her face.

Channeling her mental energy into the hammers, the heads gradually shrank in size, transforming into two lighter golden rods for easier handling.

With one swift motion, Anna shoved Ye Zian into a nearby room, and as a large chain hotel, there were plenty of rooms available.

"Phew!"

Anna exhaled contentedly, blowing out a smoke ring and stretching without caring about her loose clothing.

Feeling the muscles in her arms had grown firmer since she last trained with Ye Zian, Anna was particularly pleased with the results.

Looking at Ye Zian wrapped in a small blanket, Anna said, "Boss, you keep going; I'm going to practice with the hammers some more."

After saying this, she threw on a simple outer garment, grabbed her weapons, and headed outside.

Leaving Ye Zian with a somewhat resentful expression.

After battling the Rampaging Brutal King, Ye Zian was already exhausted, and he felt like Anna had taken advantage of his moment of weakness to push him aside, leaving him to deal with the aftermath.

What does she think I am?

"Hahaha!"

Lin Qianshan's tinkling laughter reached his ears as it was the first time she had seen Ye Zian in such a predicament.

"What are you laughing at?"

Ye Zian turned to see Lin Qianshan giggling while covering her mouth, looking at him with interest.

Lin Qianshan suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

"Oh no, I've become the scapegoat!"

Every time Ye Zian wore that expression, it meant she would be dragged into training with him.

"I'm going to check on how Anna is practicing."

Suppressing her rising panic, Lin Qianshan quickly attempted to slip away.

"Come here!"

Ye Zian moved swiftly, grabbing Lin Qianshan before she could escape.

After Anna's training, Ye Zian's stamina was back to its peak, and there was no way Lin Qianshan could get away.

Forced to become Anna's scapegoat, Lin Qianshan braced herself to face Ye Zian's frustration.

…

Outside the hotel, Anna pulled out the two hammers again. This time, she was prepared, and the hammers did not slip from her grasp.

Compared to before, lifting them was now at least twenty percent easier.

"Now let's test the power of the skills."

Pointing the hammers at a distant boulder, Anna activated the skills.

The dual hammers emitted different colors of light: the Heaven Shaking Hammer glowed with a silvery light, while the Earth Quaking Hammer radiated a yellowish hue.

The Heaven Shaking Hammer's attacks came with a stunning effect, while the Earth Quaking Hammer was designed to breach armor.
