The Super Martial System Launches an Apocalyptic Legend

Chapter 5: Just Waiting for You to Make a Move



Deep in the Ten Thousand Sheds Cave, an ordinary shed with a tattered canvas as the roof and moldy bamboo poles as the pillars welcomed an important figure today. The owner of the shed, Old Man Li, greeted this important figure with a bow and scrape, his attitude humble and obsequious.

"Master Zhou, what do you think of my girl?"

Old Man Li's dark face was covered with wrinkles. When he smiled, the wrinkles became even deeper, like crisscrossing gullies plowed on his face with a harrow.

While bowing and scraping and looking at the important figure in front of him, he roughly pulled his seventeen-year-old daughter to the front.

"Take a look at this girl's face. Although she's a bit thin, she's very fair, and her features are delicate. Her figure is also good, with a slender waist and long legs..."

"Two red crystal coins are definitely worth it."

Old Man Li pulled his daughter and kept introducing her to the important figure in front of him like selling a commodity.

Old Man Li was right. His daughter was indeed very good-looking. Her eyebrows and eyes were like paintings, and her skin was fair. She could be considered a beauty. If she put on a beautiful dress and did a little makeup, her beauty would definitely not be inferior to that of a celebrity.

"Hmm, not bad."

This important figure was named Zhou Ba, nicknamed Butcher Zhou. As a gene enhancer, even though he was only a lowest-level first-level gene enhancer, he was definitely a remarkable important figure in the entire Ten Thousand Sheds Area of the southern city.

Butcher Zhou had a face full of flesh. His eyes often sparkled with lecherous light. The scar on his forehead and the occasional fierce light in his eyes made people shudder.

Butcher Zhou stretched out two fingers and gently pinched the girl's chin. His handback slowly slid across the girl's face, and the lecherous light in his eyes became even stronger.

The moment she was touched by Butcher Zhou, the girl was like being electrocuted. Her body trembled a few times, her small face turned pale. She wanted to dodge but didn't dare to move. She stood there shivering, praying in her heart that the hand of this villain in front of her could quickly leave her face.

"Old Man Li, I, Butcher Zhou, am a straightforward person. One red crystal coin, and I'll take this girl."

Seeing the girl's timid appearance, the lecherous light in Butcher Zhou's triangular eyes became even stronger. A crystal-clear red crystal coin appeared in his hand.

"One crystal coin, this, this..."

Old Man Li's face looked a bit unhappy. He kept rubbing his hands. One crystal coin was too little, but in the face of the notorious Butcher Zhou, he didn't dare to say anything. For a moment, he was in a dilemma.

"One crystal coin? Butcher Zhou, are you a bit short of money recently? This price obviously shows no sincerity."

A slightly sarcastic voice suddenly sounded. Butcher Zhou's face darkened immediately, and a cold light shot out from his triangular eyes.

The tattered shed was lifted open, and Ke Bei walked in with a smile.

Butcher Zhou looked at Ke Bei with a cold face and let out a cold snort.

"I have no sincerity? Do you?"

Butcher Zhou recognized Ke Bei and knew that he was the son of the bearded man. He was a bit afraid of the bearded man and suppressed his anger as he retorted.

"Hehe, I do have sincerity. For such a pretty girl, I think ten crystal coins are definitely worth it."

Ke Bei smiled and patted the nervous little boy. Without looking at Butcher Zhou's livid face, he walked straight up to Old Man Li.

"Old Man Li, ten crystal coins. How about selling Sister Qianqian to me?"

"I'll pay ten crystal coins."

Hearing that Ke Bei was willing to pay ten crystal coins, Old Man Li's heart warmed, and he looked at Ke Bei excitedly.

"You said ten crystal coins?"

Old Man Li's face turned red, for fear that he had heard wrong. Ten crystal coins, he had never seen such a large sum of money in his life. Even the extremely beautiful women in the Lianxiang Pavilion in the western city who had received professional training were not worth this price.

"Yes, you heard right. Will you sell it for ten crystal coins?"

Ke Bei ignored Butcher Zhou, whose face was getting darker and darker. He reached into the cowhide pouch at his waist and took out ten red crystal coins, looking at Old Man Li indifferently.

"Ke Bei, do you really think I, Butcher Zhou, am afraid of the bearded man?"

Butcher Zhou shouted loudly, and his fists cracked.

He had worked hard and risked his life hunting zombies. Now, all his savings were only seven or eight red crystal coins. In three months, the great purge that occurred once every seventy years would come. As a member of the Ten Thousand Sheds Area of the southern city, he absolutely couldn't take out a thousand crystal coins to exchange for contribution points. So in three months, he would definitely be kicked out of Lingfeng City. Leaving Lingfeng City almost meant death. So Butcher Zhou now wanted to enjoy himself during the last three months.

He just didn't expect that Ke Bei, the son of the bearded man, would directly take out ten red crystal coins and deliberately make things difficult for him.

"Butcher Zhou, what are you talking about? Since it's a business, of course, the one who offers the highest price gets it. I think this girl is worth ten crystal coins."

Ke Bei turned around and said righteously and forcefully.

"You."

The flesh on Butcher Zhou's face kept twitching. His eyes were wide open, but he was so choked by Ke Bei that he couldn't say a word.

"Fine, you can buy it. If you're really willing to pay ten crystal coins, I'll give the bearded man some face."

Although Butcher Zhou looked fierce and cruel on the outside, he was very shrewd in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to survive in this harsh world. After a moment's thought, he knew that Ke Bei definitely didn't really want to buy the girl. He just wanted to drive him away.

In this harsh world, money was important, but strength was more important than money. You have money, right? After you buy it, I'll just snatch it back.

Fists were the truth. Butcher Zhou, who had crawled and rolled in this apocalyptic world for decades, believed in this truth even more.

"If you really pay the price of ten crystal coins to buy the person, that's fine. But if not... Humph, so what if I teach you a lesson? You provoked me first. I don't believe the bearded man can say anything about it."

Ke Bei was a bit surprised. He turned around and stared into Butcher Zhou's eyes for a long time. Then he smiled and handed over the ten red crystal coins.

He had originally thought that with Butcher Zhou's character, he should not be able to hold back and make a move. He had just practiced the sword technique left by his bearded father and wanted to test its power. No matter how cruel Butcher Zhou was, he was still a human being. Looking for him to fight was more suitable than looking for zombies in the wild.

But since Butcher Zhou didn't take the initiative to make a move, he couldn't make a move either. He could only remain silent and think about what kind of opponent he should find to practice his sword technique.

Old Man Li looked at Butcher Zhou with some fear, for fear that he would fly into a rage. When he saw that Butcher Zhou had no expression, the eagerness in his heart finally couldn't be suppressed.

He took the ten red crystal coins handed to him by Ke Bei with trembling hands and carefully put them into his arms. His expression was as if he was afraid that the red crystal coins would fall to the ground and break. He was even more careful than holding a baby.

Ten crystal coins were enough for him to squander for three months. In three months, he would have to leave the base city. Being able to enjoy life before death, Old Man Li definitely thought his life was worth it.

"Go, go. Follow this young master. Serve him well."

Holding the red crystal coins, Old Man Li waved his hand like shooing away a fly, telling his daughter to quickly follow Ke Bei, for fear that if she was half a second slower, Ke Bei would go back on his word.

Li Qianqian, Old Man Li's daughter, had a layer of mist in her big watery eyes. She walked timidly up to Ke Bei. Her tearful appearance would make any normal man couldn't help but want to hold her in his arms and cherish her.

Ke Bei was a normal person, but he was still just a boy. Strictly speaking, he wasn't a man yet. So when he saw the delicate and touching Li Qianqian, he didn't think about holding her in his arms and cherishing her. Instead, he frowned.

Ke Bei only had one room and one bed. For fifteen years, he had always squeezed onto the same bed with his bearded father. Although the bed was big enough, what kind of thing was it to squeeze together with a girl?

Scratching his head, Ke Bei suddenly felt that his head had grown a few times larger. How to settle Li Qianqian was a big problem.

"Old Man Li, I've already paid the money. Qianqian will continue to live here with you for now. I'll come to pick her up later."

After thinking it over, Ke Bei couldn't come up with a good solution. He could only let Li Qianqian continue to live with Old Man Li. This was the only solution he could think of.

"Okay, okay. You can take her away whenever it's convenient for you."

Old Man Li tightly covered his chest where the red crystal coins were placed and agreed readily. As long as the money wasn't taken back, he would agree to anything.

Ke Bei let out a sigh of relief. Since the problem had been solved, he could go hunting zombies with peace of mind. Just as he turned around and was about to leave, a sinister voice suddenly sounded.

"Wait a minute."

Butcher Zhou, who had been standing aside, showed a smile on his face. As he had expected, Ke Bei was simply looking for trouble. He had finally waited for a reason to make a move.

"Is there something?"

Ke Bei stopped and looked at Butcher Zhou.

"Humph, of course there is something, kid. I don't think you really want to buy the person, do you?"

Butcher Zhou suddenly took a step forward. A fierce light shone from his triangular eyes, and he said coldly.

"Hehe, whether I really want to buy the person or not, what does it have to do with you?"

Ke Bei was not afraid of Butcher Zhou's cold eyes at all. He looked straight at him and sneered.

"Of course it has something to do with me. Since you don't really want to buy the person, then you really want to make things difficult for me, Butcher Zhou?"

Butcher Zhou pressed forward step by step and stood less than a step away from Ke Bei, coldly retorting.

"So what?"

Ke Bei shrugged his shoulders. He seemed to be indifferent and rolled his eyes, but his eyes suddenly lit up. The inexplicable excitement in his eyes was well hidden, and he calmly looked at Butcher Zhou.

He had been waiting for Butcher Zhou to make a move. Judging from Butcher Zhou's tone, it seemed that he was going to make a move. His little plan was about to come true, so Ke Bei was naturally a bit excited.

"So what?"

The flesh on Butcher Zhou's face trembled. A fierce look flashed in his triangular eyes. He gave Ke Bei a fierce glare and let out a cold snort.

"Of course, I'll teach the bearded man's precious son a good lesson on his behalf." Butcher Zhou kicked out like lightning.

Bang.

Just as the fierce gust of wind from his leg was about to touch the corner of Ke Bei's clothes, Ke Bei, who had already been prepared, instantly pulled out the knife that was diagonally inserted behind his back.

The back of the knife was facing up, pointing diagonally at Butcher Zhou.

The back of the knife was very thick and didn't look sharp, but Butcher Zhou's face suddenly changed. The leg he had kicked out was quickly retracted. Ke Bei, who seemed to be holding the knife casually, completely blocked the path where Butcher Zhou could exert his strength.

If he continued to kick out this leg, the result would be hitting the blade of the knife that Ke Bei was holding diagonally.

Letting out a soft gasp, a look of surprise flashed across Butcher Zhou's face full of flesh, but he didn't care too much. After all, he was a first-level gene enhancer, and his physical quality was three times stronger than that of an ordinary person.

And Ke Bei was just an ordinary person through and through. An ordinary person obviously couldn't make Butcher Zhou take him seriously.

Holding the rusty knife and looking at the shadow of Butcher Zhou's leg that he had to retract, a smile appeared on Ke Bei's face.

"I've just been waiting for you to make a move."

A glint of excitement flashed in Ke Bei's eyes. He placed the knife in his hand horizontally in front of his chest and squinted his eyes at Butcher Zhou.
