Chu Jiayu remained unmoved, having no intention of kneeling to Wang Yu.
Let alone kneeling, she had never even offered a pleasant look to strangers!
Although her mother said Wang Yu had superpowers, she didn't quite believe it, thinking Wang Yu was likely deceiving her mother.
Feng Qing knelt on the ground, seeing her daughter stubbornly standing, unable to be pulled.
With a forceful shove to the back of Chu Jiayu's knees, the latter lost her balance and knelt on the ground.
Feng Qing roared, "Don't you listen to your mother at all anymore? Is this the time for your stubbornness?!"
Although Chu Jiayu had followed suit and knelt, she still stubbornly refused to look at her mother.
Her eyes were merely red-rimmed as she stared at Wang Yu, her expression seeming to say, "You want me to call you master? Don't even think about it!"
Wang Yu, holding a lamp, squatted in front of Chu Jiayu, cupping her small chin with one hand.
Chu Jiayu met his gaze fearlessly.
Wang Yu smiled slightly, his handsome face appearing very gentle.
"Little girl, didn't I tell you? If you're unwilling, you just need to say so. Why are you arguing with your mother?"
"It's the apocalypse now. The only one you can rely on and completely trust is your mother."
"Of course, you can also choose to rely on me. I can guarantee the absolute safety of you and your mother."
These words sounded like they were giving Chu Jiayu free choice, but in reality, they were subtly guiding her to turn to him.
From the moment he saw Chu Jiayu, Wang Yu felt.
Such exquisite beauty, even if not consumed, was excellent to keep at home as a little maid to feast his eyes upon.
She couldn't be given to someone else.
Chu Jiayu looked into Wang Yu's deep, serene black eyes, feeling as if her very soul was being drawn in.
She quickly averted her gaze, and her fair chin also escaped Wang Yu's hand.
Wang Yu stood up, looking down at the mother and daughter.
"Speak, tell me your answer."
Feng Qing squeezed her daughter's hand. "Quick, call him master!"
Chu Jiayu watched her mother's constant signal, hesitating for a long time.
Finally, she spoke, "Master!"
There was a hint of gritted teeth in her voice, but Wang Yu didn't mind.
Although he didn't know why Chu Jiayu was so wary of outsiders, he couldn't be bothered to delve deeper. As long as the person was his, it was fine.
With time, he wasn't worried about her not obeying.
"Get up. I'll give you some time to pack what you need to take, and then we'll leave immediately."
"Leave?" Chu Jiayu didn't quite understand. "Why leave? Isn't it safer here than outside?"
Wang Yu gave her a cold glance. "I am the master. Just listen to me."
Chu Jiayu was about to say more.
Feng Qing immediately pulled her. "Yes, master. We'll pack our things now."
...
Ten minutes later, the two came downstairs with two suitcases. They didn't pack much, only some necessities like spare clothes.
While packing, Chu Jiayu was very confused and asked Feng Qing how they could escape with two suitcases.
Feng Qing simply said Wang Yu had superpowers that could take things away, and she had personally witnessed the entire contents of a supermarket disappear before Wang Yu.
Chu Jiayu listened, lost in thought.
If Wang Yu truly possessed such abilities, it was no wonder her mother regarded him so highly.
In the apocalypse, the ability to store items was definitely the dream of every survivor.
How much storage space one had meant how many unexposed supplies you could possess.
This point was crucial, otherwise, excess supplies would only become a burden, or even attract the covetousness of other survivors.
The principle of not revealing one's wealth was applicable in any world.
It was even more so in the apocalypse.
Because the apocalypse was a world completely chaotic, bloody, devoid of order and restraint. If someone wanted to, and could take your belongings with little cost.
Then they would definitely act!
Yes, not possibly, but certainly!
Wang Yu had no doubt about this, as he had seen too many such instances.
In the apocalypse, anyone with the ability would never complain about having too many supplies.
Including Wang Yu.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have casually taken the supermarket they passed on the road.
Chu Jiayu watched as Wang Yu waved his hand, and the two suitcases indeed disappeared.
She was also so astonished that her mouth couldn't close.
Even though her mother had told her earlier, seeing such a miraculous power for the first time, who wouldn't be amazed?
It was from this moment on.
Chu Jiayu believed her mother's words and developed a certain sense of acceptance towards Wang Yu.
Women are attracted to strength. In fact, it could be said that most female animals are like that.
Whether it's monkeys, cattle, sheep, or wild beasts like lions and tigers, females are more willing to mate with the dominant male that has emerged from competition.
This is something etched in their DNA.
Human beings, as intelligent creatures, are even more so.
Everyone knows what is good and bad, what is beneficial and what is detrimental.
And they make their own choices.
...
Wang Yu led the mother and daughter to the main gate.
If there's a main gate, why not use it? Which decent person prefers to go through a window?
There's also a back door. If someone likes to use the back door, then they're definitely not decent.
Thinking of the back door, Wang Yu glanced at Chu Jiayu…
He shook his head, casting aside unsavory scenes from a certain book from his mind.
"Chu Jiayu, you..."
Wang Yu was about to say that Chu Jiayu should hug him from the front, and he would continue carrying Feng Qing away.
But suddenly! Wang Yu saw a flash of fire about one to two hundred meters away.
Seeing that single spark, Wang Yu immediately shuddered!
He quickly extended his hands to embrace the waists of both women, simultaneously stepping rapidly, and rushed towards the nearest large tree.
The moment he moved two steps.
Bang! Bang!
Two gunshots rang out, and simultaneously, two bullets hit the large iron gate, sparks flying.
They also made a clanging sound.
Immediately after, Wang Yu heard a low curse from the direction of the gunfire.
"What the hell is wrong with you? You can't even hit them when they're standing still for you to shoot?"
"You call yourself a retired special forces soldier?!"
"What a waste!"
Only he could hear this voice; Feng Qing and her daughter didn't.
With two swift movements, Wang Yu had brought the two women behind the tree to hide.
The two women were also startled by the gunshots.
Although they couldn't see Wang Yu's expression clearly, they seemed to feel waves of coldness emanating from him.
Wang Yu calmly said to the two women, "Hide here and be good."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yu's figure vanished, as if merging with the night.
His speed was extreme, his 96-fold physique fully unleashed. He darted through the darkness, like a phantom!
Even a lion needs its full strength to hunt a rabbit, let alone when the opponent has a gun, and there's more than one person.
Therefore, Wang Yu was not going to give them any chance!
Meanwhile, Xiao Gang and the others, who were ambushed in the grass, observed Wang Yu leaving the tree.
However, their thermal imaging devices seemed to be broken; they couldn't see Wang Yu's movement trajectory at all, only occasional red blips flashing, and then flashing again at a very far distance!
"This is truly ghost-like..."
Xiao Gang felt a chill down his spine, simply unable to believe what he was seeing.
He felt the threat of death approaching him, and he tightly gripped his gun, preparing to fight back.
The special forces soldier who had fired just now was completely stunned.
He was an expert with guns and knew he hadn't missed; Wang Yu's reaction was just too fast!
The moment he fired, Wang Yu had reacted and moved two steps away while holding two women.
Was this even human?!
He had been in the army for so many years and had never heard of such a bizarre thing!
Moreover, Wang Yu's current movement speed was outrageous.
As special forces soldiers, they weren't unfamiliar with night exercises.
What human could run so fast that even thermal imaging devices could barely detect them?
