Apocalypse: Launching a Counterattack Against the Villainess

Page 247

Even so, it was so comfortable it was almost suffocating.

Nie Qingyun stared blankly at the girl's profile, only one thought remaining in his mind—Could the young lady be a genius...?

They actually came up with something this advanced.

On the other side, Cheng Yuqiu was vigorously twisting her waist. Since it was her first time using such a daring posture, she was unsure of herself. Seeing that Nie Qingyun remained silent, she took the initiative to ask:

"How are you feeling...? Are you feeling comfortable...?"

Cheng Yuqiu's breath was soft and delicate, tinged with intermittent panting. As if remembering something, her tone shifted, and she continued in a sweet, coquettish voice:

"Hmm...right, at times like this...you have to, you have to call me 'husband'..."

"Hey, you like it when I call you that, right... my dear husband~"

In an instant, Nie Qingyun felt his whole body surging downwards, and he could no longer suppress the urge to ejaculate. He subconsciously arched his back and rested his forehead on the girl's shoulder.

Just then, Cheng Yuqiu also sensed something, and quickly got up from Nie Qingyun's lap, then knelt on the ground and spread her rosy lips to take that...

"Oh! Glug... Glug..."

Only after the food filling her mouth had completely subsided did Cheng Yuqiu's throat begin to move a few times, followed by a "cough cough" sound.

Seeing this, Nie Qingyun quickly reached out and patted the girl's back, his eyes filled with a hint of heartache as he gently scolded her:

"These things... it's fine to just end them normally, there's no need to swallow every last drop every time..."

Cheng Yuqiu seemed to have really choked, coughing twice more before playfully looking up and blinking.

"That won't work."

"Didn't you see how, when you cuddle with me to sleep, my senior always tries to squeeze between us?"

"If she finds out that I waste food all the time, she'll probably start treating me like a thief."

Seeing this, Nie Qingyun didn't know what to say, so he could only reach out and pull the girl up and put her back in his arms.

Although Cheng Yuqiu was only wearing a thin graffiti-print short-sleeved shirt, she didn't refuse. She just squinted and rested her head on Nie Qingyun's shoulder, looking out the window at the scenery while wondering where she would spend the night.

About fifteen minutes later, the Ferris wheel's viewing cabin finally returned to the ground, and the two tidied up a bit inside before coming out again.

Nie Qingyun was still wearing that black suit jacket and flashy shirt, while Cheng Yuqiu had changed into a pair of denim pencil pants.

Since they had to return to the main building after dawn, the nighttime was very precious to them. In order to have more time to spend the night outside, the two went straight back to the entrance after they came out.

At this moment, a large number of zombies had gathered at the entrance, and some had even fallen in by stepping on the bodies of their own kind.

If we want to go back the way we came, we definitely have to let these zombies in, but my senior isn't here. To avoid being surrounded by the zombie horde, the safest way is to lure them all into a building.

Currently, there is only one place in this amusement park that can accommodate several thousand zombies at once.

That is the opera house, which is located in the very center.

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Nie Qingyun, after making up his mind, took Cheng Yuqiu into the theater to check out the interior first.

Because it is a small theater in an amusement park, it is not very large. It is divided into two floors, with a stage that is more than two meters high in the middle.

Behind the stage are the staff's lounge and a staff-only access corridor.

If they lure the zombies here, the two of them can slip out from the back.

All that's left is to prepare the transportation you'll need when you leave.

With this in mind, Nie Qingyun decided to take the young lady away first.

But as soon as he looked up, he found the girl staring blankly at the stage in the middle, lost in thought.

"What's wrong? Is something strange on stage?"

Upon hearing Nie Qingyun's question, Cheng Yuqiu snapped out of her reverie, chuckled softly, and without hiding anything, blinked and said:

"It's nothing, I just feel a little sorry..."

"pity?"

"Mmm," Cheng Yuqiu responded, taking Nie Qingyun's hand and continuing:

"There probably won't be any more performances here in the future..."

"Speaking of which... it's been a long time since I've participated in a performance..."

As she spoke, the girl concealed the hint of sadness in her eyes, replacing it with a sweet smile:

"But now I have you by my side..."

"You're not allowed to be unfaithful in the future."

Nie Qingyun nodded upon hearing this. Always perceptive, he naturally noticed the melancholy in the girl's eyes and then turned his gaze to the stage in the distance.

Chapter 347: The Final Performance

Given Cheng Yuqiu's family background, she doesn't need the economic benefits that come with being an idol. Similarly, as the daughter of a powerful warlord, she doesn't need to gain fame through this. All that's left is her love for the stage.

Nie Qingyun had known this for a long time, but as the other party just said, this world has come to a complete end. Even if there is a day of revival in the future, she will not be able to be active in the spotlight as an idol as before.

A moment later, Nie Qingyun turned his gaze away from the empty stage and looked at the girl in front of him, but did not say any words of comfort.

"Yes... perhaps in the future... Her Highness will never have the chance to stand on the stage again."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuqiu could no longer conceal the hint of regret that had been hidden in her eyes, and she couldn't help but raise her hand and punch Nie Qingyun on the shoulder:

"You're so mean, you can't even comfort someone properly."

Nie Qingyun suddenly shook his head, revealed a hearty smile, and gestured towards the stage:

"Since that's the case, we might as well say goodbye in a dignified manner."

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved the remote control terminal in his hand.

"This thing can control more than just the entertainment facilities outside; it can also be used to control indoor equipment and access control systems."

"How about it? Does Your Highness want to cause a scene?"

"Is it...is it possible..." Cheng Yuqiu was clearly very interested, but the next second she forcibly suppressed her excitement and hesitated before saying:

"Zombies are extremely sensitive to sound... and my senior isn't here. What if we get surrounded..."

"I'm so happy today... so very happy."

"You don't need to worry about me anymore..."

"In the end, we'll just have to lure the zombies here anyway; the only difference is the form we take," Nie Qingyun snapped his fingers, and the [S11 Individual Support Drone] appeared in the [Data Space].

"However, since it's a public performance... it won't do if only I'm cheering for the young lady."

"So we need to do some preparation."

"What preparations?" Cheng Yuqiu asked with a hint of anticipation.

Nie Qingyun did not respond immediately. Instead, he controlled the drone to circle the theater briefly before turning his attention back to it and saying:

"Of course, we need to replan our escape route."

After speaking, without waiting for the girl's response, he pointed to the stage in the center:

"The zombies trapped here are now in your care, young lady."

"As for me... I'll finish the work outside first."

Seeing that Nie Qingyun was serious, Cheng Yuqiu couldn't help but feel a thrill of secretly doing something naughty. Without asking any questions, he summoned his shield and short sword and began to act separately.

Watching the girl lightly leap onto the stage to check the area behind her, Nie Qingyun didn't linger and walked directly out of the theater to the storage room outside.

After searching inside for a while, he finally came out carrying a plastic bucket in each hand.

The bucket contains special glow-in-the-dark pigment used to decorate the stage. This liquid easily adheres to the surface of objects it comes into contact with, then emits a faint fluorescence, which evaporates into the air after a period of time.

To save time, Nie Qingyun splashed two buckets of paint directly onto the glass display stand outside the theater. Once the entire floor-to-ceiling glass window was covered in colorful paint, he threw away the empty plastic buckets and ran towards the entrance of the amusement park.

At this moment, a number of zombies had already poured into the retractable gate, which looked pitch black from a distance. Nie Qingyun did not approach, but instead opened the retractable gate from a distance and took out his rifle to fire a few shots at random.

Several wandering zombies fell to the ground in response. The next second, a chain reaction occurred among the nearby zombies. Pairs of eyes that glowed eerily in the darkness all turned to Nie Qingyun, and then they all started running together.

The sight of thousands of zombies moving together was terrifying. Upon seeing this, Nie Qingyun turned and ran, but not towards the main entrance of the opera house. Instead, he ran towards the glass display window that he had just splashed with glow-in-the-dark paint.

Once he got close, he squeezed through the pre-prepared opening, while the zombies behind him didn't bother looking for any openings; they all crashed head-on into the glass, flailing their arms wildly through the translucent paint...

On the other side, Cheng Yuqiu quickly checked the area behind the stage and found that there were not many zombies. So he spent the rest of the time sitting on the edge of the stage waiting for Nie Qingyun to return.

Just as I was getting bored, I suddenly heard a series of messy footsteps coming from the entrance of the audience area. They were coming closer and closer, and there seemed to be quite a few of them.

Sure enough, a short while later, Nie Qingyun's figure darted out from the entrance. Cheng Yuqiu stood up from the edge of the stage, about to speak, when she saw a group of enraged zombies following behind Nie Qingyun, densely packed, surging in like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

The girl's face paled, and she quickly waved her hand:

"This way, come up quickly!"

"How are your preparations going?" Nie Qingyun lightly leaped onto the two-meter-high stage, while the zombies were not so agile. In an instant, they all piled up at the edge of the stage and waved their hands wildly upwards in the air.

"I'm fine here... but compared to this," Cheng Yuqiu looked at the entrance where zombies were still pouring in, her mouth slightly agape:

"You suddenly brought so many zombies here without even saying anything beforehand..."

Nie Qingyun didn't respond, but just smiled mysteriously, then walked around behind the girl and whispered in her ear:

"Young Miss, please close your eyes."

"What exactly are we supposed to do..." Cheng Yuqiu muttered softly with a hint of doubt, but still obediently closed her eyes.

Nie Qingyun then took out the control terminal again, waited for a while, and then quickly clicked a few times on it.

The next second, all the lighting fixtures on the theater dome went out at the same time, leaving only the spotlights illuminating the stage.

Then, tiny points of fluorescence began to appear in the pitch-black darkness.

Just then, Nie Qingyun reached out and wrapped his arms around the girl's waist from behind, speaking softly:

"Alright, Your Highness, you may open your eyes now."

Upon hearing the reminder in her ear, Cheng Yuqiu's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she opened her eyes a crack, instantly freezing in place.

The edge of the stage formed a boundary between light and darkness, with countless dazzling fluorescent lights connecting in the darkness, like a vast starry sky in the night.

"Thump thump!"

The girl's heart started racing.

She never dreamed that such a magnificent scene would appear before her eyes, and for a moment she forgot whether she was in the apocalypse or on the stage of a performance.

Chapter 348: Next Stop, Lovers' Hotel

The girl's eyes were filled with a fluorescent light, and after a long while, she murmured involuntarily:

"How...how did you do that?"

Before Nie Qingyun could respond, Cheng Yuqiu recalled the scene she had seen before closing her eyes, and immediately understood what was emitting a fluorescent glow hidden in the darkness.

She had seen plenty of zombies, but she had never seen any that glowed in the night. It was obvious that Nie Qingyun had tampered with the zombies.

Moreover, judging from the scale, this workload must be considerable.

This wasn't part of their plan for tonight; clearly, Nie Qingyun did it on purpose after hearing what she had just said.

Upon realizing this, Cheng Yuqiu was both angry and touched, and he raised his hand and slapped the arm that was holding him hard.

"Why did you do such a dangerous thing all by yourself...?"

"What if we encounter danger?"

"Well, I knew you'd scold me," Nie Qingyun released the girl from his arms, shrugged, and then, as if by magic, produced two colorful glow sticks from somewhere, waving them and saying:

"However, I still don't think it's a wrong thing..."

"After all, seeing you happy is one of the important meanings of my life as a human being."

After speaking, Nie Qingyun quickly walked to the edge of the stage and sat down, his back to the colorful ocean, and waved to the girl in front of him:

"The stage and the audience are ready now... but we don't have much time left."

"Also, I went through a lot of trouble to get this 'special seat,' so Your Highness shouldn't let me down, right?"

Seeing Nie Qingyun with a hearty smile not far away, Cheng Yuqiu's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Compared to Nie Qingyun, who was in the audience, she was the one who most wanted to stand in the center of the stage.

The reason the other party said that was simply to deliberately take all the blame upon themselves.

She had been pampered by this silent, gentle tenderness for far too long...
