Chapter 136 The Dodder of the Apocalyptic Powerhouse 22
Seizing on Ye Shuwan's soft heart, An Shixi added, "That necklace was also bought for me by my family. Although it can't compare to yours in terms of value, it is priceless in my heart."
"You probably don't remember, but we agreed that if we exchanged necklaces, we would be friends for life. They are a symbol of our friendship."
An Shixi gave a bitter smile, which made He Yan and the others look at Ye Shuwan with even more hostility.
Ye Shuwan appeared to be reminiscing and feeling ashamed, but inwardly she was laughing.
It wasn't a gift from family; it was just a secondhand item bought casually on the street.
The original owner believed it to be true and excitedly wore it. However, the quality was not very good, and it broke after only two days. The original owner had no choice but to keep it at home with great care.
After the apocalypse, the original owner didn't have time to go home and pack her things, so the necklace wasn't on her at the moment.
An Shixi had anticipated this point, which is why she made this request. Seeing that Ye Shuwan remained silent for a long time, she deliberately said, "Forget it, you probably don't consider me a friend anyway. Here, take this necklace back. At least between the two of us, you still have something to remember your loved ones by looking at it."
Given that Ye Shuwan is known for her personality, she definitely won't ask for it back.
An Shixi didn't retract her right hand that was holding the necklace, confidently waiting for Ye Shuwan to refuse.
Unexpectedly, Ye Shuwan took the necklace directly, played with it in her hand for a while, and said when An Shixi couldn't help but ask for it back, "I don't want this necklace anymore, but can you answer a few questions for me?"
An Shixi assumed that the woman would return the item after asking the question, ignoring the inexplicable worry that arose in her heart, and nodded in agreement: "Okay."
"One night after leaving school, I woke up unexpectedly and heard..."
Ye Shuwan gave An Shixi a deep look, the coldness in her eyes sending a shiver down An Shixi's spine. But when she looked again, An Shixi had already looked away.
Ye Shuwan pursed her lips and continued, "I heard you telling people that I often stay out all night, and that I rely on selling my body..."
The necklace was still in Ye Shuwan's hands, and besides, there was a living devil watching her closely behind her. An Shixi naturally couldn't admit it and loudly retorted, "Impossible, Wanwan, you must have misheard. You know I'm not that kind of person."
Ye Shuwan's eyes suddenly reddened. She took a deep breath and forced back her sobs, saying, "I thought I misheard, but when I went to find supplies alone the next day, someone followed me. He said that since I'm so indiscriminate, why not... why not let him... If I hadn't been carrying a knife, he might have succeeded."
Indeed, such a thing happened. There was a lecherous guy in their team. She deliberately mentioned Ye Shuwan to him in a subtle way. Only after seeing the lust and greed in his eyes did she feel relieved and leave.
But then that person suddenly disappeared, which she found quite regrettable.
If she had succeeded back then, Ye Shuwan would never have had the chance to find such a handsome and powerful backer.
An Shixi thought to herself that it was a pity, but when she met the murderous eyes of the person behind her, she felt a chill in her heart and the wound on her neck hurt even more.
She didn't realize that Chen Yue beside her had suddenly let go of her hand. She just hurriedly leaned against the window and repeatedly denied it: "I didn't do it, it really wasn't me, Wanwan, you have to believe me."
Ye Shuwan continued, "And at the gas station, you used me to shield yourself from the zombies. I can believe you didn't mean it, but when we were escaping, you clearly saw that I hadn't gotten into the car yet, but you still closed the door. You..."
"No, no, ah—, Wanwan, save me, save me, don't kill me!"
A sharp pain shot through her calf, and An Shixi suddenly knelt down on one knee by the car window. The fear of death made her cling to Ye Shuwan's hand as if she were grasping at a straw.
Ye Shuwan turned to look at Jiang Yufeng. His innocent expression eased her tense face a little, but she still shook his hand and said, "I want to handle it myself."
She brushed away An Shixi's hand that was holding hers: "Let's just forget about those things. Consider it repayment for the care you gave me at school. And this necklace, I don't want it anymore."
An Shixi was overjoyed, but the next second she felt as if she had fallen into hell.
"Brother Cheng Yan, could you help me burn it?"
"Ah, okay, no problem."
The next moment, a small ball of fire appeared out of thin air in Ye Shuwan's palm.
"No, no, ouch, it's so hot!" An Shixi tried to snatch the necklace, but the gentle flame in Ye Shuwan's palm burned An Shixi so much that she couldn't touch it at all.
In no time, the necklace was burned to ashes, leaving only some ash scattered on the ground.
"No—" Realizing that her connection with the space had been severed, An Shixi frantically threw herself on the ground, trying to gather the dust without regard for her image. "My necklace, my necklace, give me back my necklace!"
The others looked at her with puzzled expressions. Chen Yue reached out to help her up, but she pushed her away forcefully and then ignored her.
Shen Yanke's smile didn't reach his eyes; he looked at her, and it was impossible to know what he was thinking.
"Could there be something special about this necklace?" Cheng Yan looked at An Shixi with a puzzled expression.
An Shixi felt a sharp pain in her head and suddenly shouted at Ye Shuwan, "Why did you do this? Why! Why did you have to appear again? Why aren't you dead yet? I... ...
He Yan strode forward, forcefully pulled her up, and covered her mouth with his hand: "Sorry, I lost my composure. I'll take her away right now."
"Wait," Jiang Yufeng suddenly said, "Let her finish speaking."
"This……"
It's obvious that if An Shixi were to finish speaking, she might lose her life. But offending several potentially level-three superpowered individuals for her sake isn't a worthwhile trade.
He Yan hesitated for a moment, then let go of her hand.
Fortunately, An Shixi had calmed down and stopped talking nonsense. She obediently apologized and admitted that she had misspoke, and the matter was over just like that.
Although He Yan was somewhat incredulous, he quickly led his team members away.
After they left, Shen Yanke and Cheng Yan got back into the car, and the car started moving quickly.
Cheng Yan asked, "Where are we going now?"
Jiang Yufeng: "Jiangchuan Base."
Ye Shuwan pretended not to understand and looked at him: "Are we going to join the Jiangchuan base?"
Jiang Yufeng, with one hand on the steering wheel, explained, "No, I heard the construction is going well, so I'm going to take a look."
Ye Shuwan nodded obediently and stopped talking. She looked extremely cute, and Jiang Yufeng couldn't help but reach out and rub her head.
"We've been to some decent bases before, so why are we suddenly going to check out the Jiangchuan base this time?" Cheng Yan muttered to himself.
Shen Yanke raised an eyebrow and said meaningfully, "Perhaps there's something special that needs to be dealt with."
"What's so special about it?" Cheng Yan asked curiously.
"Who knows?" Shen Yanke said no more.
Cheng Yan was furious and shouted in his ear, "Shen Yan Ke, you're playing me again!"
"I heard you, I heard you. You don't need to shout my name so loudly in the car. You'll see when the time comes." Shen Yanke lazily scratched his ear and pushed his face away.
Cheng Yan turned his head away and ignored him: "Tch, say it or don't."
