Counterattack of a White Lotus that was Reborn into an Apocalypse Chapter 11

Lian Hua ate until he was full and consciously returned to his room. Pig Leg was discussing important things with his comrades. Clutching his ears and pretending not to hear was the right thing to do. The more you knew, the faster you died! T^T Not good, he definitely had to escape.

Pig Leg wanted to be the king of the apocalypse. Lian Hua was a cannon fodder, if he wanted to live, he had to get far, far away. This was his experience after many years of reading novels!

He stroked his precious backpack, there was so much missing! The white lotus’s const.i.tution wasn’t good, so when he was preparing his backpack, Lian Hua didn’t put much in it. If there was too much, his back would break and he wouldn’t be able to move. Right now, his body had improved, so he should store more. He really wanted a pocket dimension. Pig Leg, please give me your pocket dimension! Lian Hua starting daydreaming about nice things.

Pig Leg seemed to want to bring his group to collect supplies. Lian Hua felt that he had to go with them. Even if he had bodyguards, he was still useless[1]. If pig leg wanted to abuse him to death, he would have to pay back interest before he died.

He took out a block of jade from his backpack, it was old and precious milky white jade, s.h.i.+ny and smooth. Saying a prayer of Amitabha to absolve his sins, Lian Hua held up an ashtray and bang bag, pounded on the jade. The jade immediately shattered into pieces.

Carefully wrapping the pieces of jade in a handkerchief, Lian Hua crossed his legs and placed the bundle on his abdomen. He closed his eyes and began to concentrate on the sensation.

Very quickly, Lian Hua could feel a warm breath. He carefully manipulated the energy in his dantian to interact with that breath, leading it into his body. This breath was rather mild and soon intertwined with the energy and rushed into the dantian. It circulated a few rounds around Lian Hua’s figure before thoroughly becoming part of his body. Suddenly, a few wisps of air disappeared, but Lian Hua didn’t notice.

Cultivation complete, Lian Hua felt as if he was reborn. No wonder everyone liked to cultivate, the sensation was addictive. He was about to transform into a level one esper, cultivating with jade was very convenient.

When he looked at the shattered pieces of jade with no spiritual energy, it was just a pile of rubble. Lian Hua felt that it was such a pity, this stuff was still jade after all. It was money. Only the Pig Leg had the luxury of being so extravagant.

He waved a hand and a water ball the size of a fist appeared in front of him. Lian Hua’s tears streamed down his face, it finally wasn’t a pea(g)[2] any more? That’s great!

“Young master Bai, the boss is calling you out.”

Xia Xingwen’s serious voice came from outside. Lian Hua’s hand shook and the water ball splashed straight onto the sheets.

Lian Hua awkwardly flailed his limbs in his rush to get the door. Xia Xingwen glanced at Lian Hua, looked at the bed sheets, and eyed the other man delicately.

“Cough! Young master Bai, do you need to change the bed sheets?”

Bed sheets? Why change them? Lian Hua didn’t understand.

He followed Xia Xingwen’s subtle line of sight, there was a damp lump on the bed! Lian Hua suddenly blushed vividly. Fudge, your brother wasn’t so scared that he p.i.s.sed his pants! There’s no need to change sheets!

“You thought too much, Secretary Xia!”

Lian Hua roared inside his head as he pushed Xia Xingwen outside. How shameful, it wasn’t good to be too smart. For better or worse, you’re still an elite, Secretary Xia!

Lian Hua a.s.sembled in the living room with a red face, Pig Leg’s group was already heavily armed.

“We are going to gather supplies. You stay at home with Aunt Li, don’t open the door randomly!” Sir Xia commanded.

Lian Hua was surprised. Stay at home? How could he do that! He wanted to take advantage of the fact that zombies hadn’t evolved yet to get fighting experience.

“Brother Zhi, I have to go, I have to go too!” Lian Hua grabbed Pig Leg’s sleeves and acted spoiled.

“You?” Xia Zhi pulled his sleeves back.

A series of skeptical eyes fell on Lian Hua’s small body. They didn’t need to words to say— Can you really do it? Who are you trying to cheat!?

Lian Hua jumped in the middle, he raised a hand and a water ball appeared. Look, look, your brother is also an esper, you can’t afford to look down on me. This was a water type ability, the attack power wasn’t high but it was useful and f.u.c.king awesome[3]. Pig Leg’s loyal dog gong with face paralysis was also a water type and compatible with Pig Leg, making them f.u.c.king over powered[3].

Aside from Xia Zhi, everyone else was surprised. They couldn’t believe this sissy/ “young lady”/ brat could also awaken an ability.

“There’s this too.”

Lian Hua held out a small green seedling in his hand.

“People also want to find some seeds!” Lian Hua used his skills to look pitifully at everyone.

Xia Zhi frowned. As soon as Lian Hua saw that there was hope, he doubled his efforts.

“Young master, let Xiao Hua follow too! With everyone there, nothing bad should happen to him.”

Aunt Li also spoke up.

“Well, well. Boss, we don’t need to be afraid of adding one more person.” Xia Xingwen gave a Lian Hua meaningful look.

“Alright, we can let you go, but if you hold us back, then just wait for death alone.” Xia Zhi took the first step out the door.

Lian Hua carried his precious backpack and ran his a.s.s after them, automatically ignoring the words “wait for death”. If Pig Leg really wanted him to die at this time, then he would have died countless times by now. Afraid my a.s.s!

Everyone followed Xia Zhi into the garage. Lian Hua was blinded by the s.h.i.+ny modified Hummer. G.o.d, this wasn’t a hummer, it was a tank! The outside was refurbished with a thick sh.e.l.l, even level two zombies couldn’t scratch it. Remembering the car left in YN province, Lian Hua suddenly felt the urge to cry. There didn’t need to be such a gap between them!

“Get in!”

Pig Leg gave the order and Lian Hua squeezed himself into the back seat farthest away from Pig Leg.

Xia Zhi glanced at Lian Hua while sitting in the pa.s.senger seat.

“Are you seated? Let’s go!”

Xia Xingwen cheered, started the car, and shot outside.

Lian Hua sat with a layer of sweat on his forehead. Surely that elite didn’t have a fake driver’s license? But seeing that no one said anything, Lian Hua silently swallowed his concerns. Pig Leg was here, they definitely wouldn’t die.

Soon, the Hummer left the villa’s neighborhood. In town, there were countless numbers of zombies wandering around.

Lian Hua tensed up. Previously, in the villa’s neighborhood, there weren’t many people. Most zombies were in their houses and didn’t run outside much. But right now, on the streets, people were running away and zombies were chasing them.

Lian Hua also saw lots of bodies that were missing parts, scattered all over the place. f.u.c.k, there’s a zombie putting intestines in its mouth! f.u.c.k, there’s a person being chased by a zombie! f.u.c.k, there’s a person stabbing a zombie with a knife…

Lian Hua felt that this world was too hard to accept, a cannon fodder couldn’t HOLD[4] on.

Lian Hua’s face was white, his gastric juices started to bubble, and he quickly covered his mouth.

“If you dare vomit in the car, we’ll leave you for the zombies to eat.”

Lian Hua “…”

Pig Leg, you don’t have to be so cruel, so ruthless, so vexing! Lian Hua desperately held onto his uncomfortable stomach for dear life, cursing Pig Leg’s chrysanthemum to swell every day and be injured every day.

Looking at Pig Leg’s comrades, none of their expressions changed. Only he exposed his weakness. Especially that elite, he even looked excited! He looked like he couldn’t wait to take out a machine gun and shoot all the zombies.

Living with a group of mentally insane snakes, Lian Hua felt a great pressure. He really wanted to escape and find his beloved cheap cousin to save him!

Unfortunately, his cheap cousin was still in the West playing with cats, while Pig Leg was in the east. Right now, an ocean of zombies separated them, you couldn’t fly even if you wanted to.

Lian Hua remembered clearly, Pig Leg and his cheap cousin only encountered each other after leaving S city, the white lotus was still following his cousin. However, right now he was following the wrong person. It was too risky! T^T

Lian Hua still wanted to sneak away, but seeing the zombies everywhere, he shamefully withered. You’re joking! S city was a large city with a population in the millions, how many of them turned into zombies? How could he leave? It only takes a hard hit with a claw to kill Lian Hua without leaving any traces.

He had to form bonds with stronger people. It looks like right now he had to hug Pig Leg’s thighs tightly. Before leaving the city, he couldn’t lose this small life!

After about ten minutes, they reached their destinationー a large supermarket.

“First, take care of the zombies following behind the car.”

“Alright.”

Lian Hua “…”

Why does everyone have weapons? Lian Hua looked at the hands of Pig Leg’s comrades that suddenly materialized things with jealousy.

“Brother Zhi, what about me?” Pitiful…

“Use your hands!” Xia Xingwen found pleasure in Lian Hua’s misfortune.

Xia Zhi looked at him, Xia Xingwen immediately retreated.

Xia Zhi causally waved his hand and a cleaver appeared in it. He threw it like trash to Lian Hua. In his other hand, he held a beautiful sword, elegantly chopping off the head of a zombie that came close.

Lian Hua rushed to catch the knife, scared of cutting himself. Pig Leg was so cheap. He and his group used high grade weapons and gave him something from the bargain bin. What if he chop a zombie with it and it got stuck?

He couldn’t accept the reality. While Lian Hua was thinking too much, a zombie had come closer. Lian Hua copied Pig Leg and played with the knife. He aimed right for the zombie’s neck, but when he swung, he hit its shoulder.

Lian Hua “…” -_-///

The zombie grew angry and ran after Lian Hua with its claws raised. Lian Hua was so scared, he turned around and ran behind the car, running in circles around it.

In his heart, Lian Hua screamed over and over again. Your brother’s only ever used his fists to fight, he’s never cut anyone, ah! He had no experience and no technique, help! QAQ

Finally, that zombie was resolved by Pig Leg, even having abilities was useless. Seeing Pig Leg’s look of contempt, Lian Hua felt very ashamed. However, he was even more determined to hug Pig Leg’s thighs! Pig Leg, ah, Pig Leg. Lemme hug you first. Lian Hua grabbed Xia Zhi’s clothes and wouldn’t let go.

Xia Zhi glared at Lian Hua, then ruthlessly kicked him so that he rolled somewhere else.

“Xia Yi, stay by the car, the rest of you head into the supermarket.”

Lian Hua stubbornly followed behind them. The surrounding zombies were all taken care of, survivors began to appear. They all came to scout for supplies.

Xia Zhi led the way into the supermarket, the people behind followed closely.

Lian Hua sighed in relief. The apocalypse came in the evening, presumably the supermarket wasn’t dangerous. However, that won’t be the case in a few days.

Lian Hua found a cart and directly went to the snack section. He knew that Pig Leg would go to the food area. That guy had a pocket dimension, he didn’t want to go see the uproar.

He picked up high calorie chocolate, candy, and powdered milk. Lian Hua shoved everything into his precious backpack before using the cart.

Lots of people followed him. Many people were impatient to reach the goods first, they hurried to fill their carts. They seemed to be miserable and starving. Not everyone had food at home.

Lian Hua’s cart was almost full, he went to the general goods section next. The corner of his lip twitched when he saw that two thirds of the things were missing, empty, and the most expensive things on the shelves were all gone. Pig Leg was really amazing. However, for better or worse, Pig Leg still left a portion behind for someone else.

Lian Hua only took a few towels. He listened to the sound of noises get louder in the supermarket and frowned. These people, did they not know that zombies were sensitive to sound?

Xia Zhi came over, also pus.h.i.+ng a cart, but Lian Hua knew this was just a cover. Xia Zhi’s body had traces of cold water vapor, it seems Pig Leg also cleaned out the frozen section. The electricity will go out soon, the food in the frozen section would spoil if they didn’t collect it now, what a waste!

Xia Zhi glanced at him and pushed the cart outside. Lian Hua quickly ran after him.

Translator’s Notes:

Lian Hua asks all the right questions.

[1]白来的保镖，不用白不用I think I kind of get the gist of it, but every time I form a concrete thought, it slips through my fingers. Maybe it meant he’d be more useless because he needs bodyguards?

[2]珠means bead, 猪 means pig. Both are p.r.o.nounced zhū. “Bead” really did refer to the size of his ability. This pun was also used in the last chapter, so I fixed it accordingly.

[3]牛逼Vulgar slang that means really f.u.c.king awesome/cool/powerful, that’s the s.h.i.+t, etc.

[4]This was in Engrish.

After taking a break for a while, my mind is so fresh and clear now… Time for a marathon!
