Based on Yue Zhong’s personality, if someone had tried to rape a woman in front of him, he would definitely have blasted off his head without saying anything. However, it was just that he didn’t care for Kang Ryu Chan much as well, and decided not to deal with the naked man yet.
The naked man chuckled a little, before returning to his group. He did not choose to antagonize Yue Zhong, as his guts told him this man was terrifying, should he attempt to, he would most likely die.
The fangirl who had her clothes ripped by Kang Ryu Chan had a complicated gaze, as she stared at Yue Zhong deeply, before walking over, "Thank you!!"
After that, she returned to her friends, without so much as a second glance at her idol, and the whole bunch of them joined the rest of their friends.
When the scene was over, this group of survivors that had been thrown into the 2nd World had already segregated into different groups.
After they separated themselves, a middle-aged man in a suit asked, "What the hell happened? What is this place? Does anyone know?"
"No!"
"Nope!!"
"..."
Everyone shook their heads, their expressions bewildered. They had been living decently on earth, who knew they were suddenly transported to this place.
Especially those girls who only knew to chase their idols. They had been living a carefree life under the protection of an expert, but now, they have seen for themselves how terrifying humans could be.
Yue Zhong was clear that this was a world of the 2nd Stage, other than that, he knew absolutely nothing. Hence, he kept silent, standing at a corner quietly while observing the rest.
One bespectacled man who looked dignified spoke out, "Everyone, keep quiet! Quieten down! Right now, regardless of where we are, we should stick together! I think we might have been teleported here by that God. It is important to find water and food. Without it, we will die here!!"
Hearing his words, everyone else felt their hearts run cold. They had not brought much with them. In a way, they had truly been thrown here without so much as a warning. There were no resources or rations they could have prepared beforehand. In such conditions, if they didn’t find water or food, they would not last more than 3 days.
The middle-aged man continued, "Everyone, I’m called Ma Fan. A snake cannot live without its head. If our small group does not have a leader to help command everyone, it’s not ideal. Ma Fan is not talented, but I’m willing to take on the heavy responsibilities of being a leader and lead everyone out of this dangerous place.
Ma Fan was a smart person. He knew the importance of being in a leadership position. In China, all the good stuff had been enjoyed by the leaders, while the rest of the people had to slog just to attain barely 1/10th of what the leaders had.
The naked man glanced at Ma Fan and spat, "Hmph! Who the fuck are you? Do you want to be a leader? You better challenge this senior fist. As long as you can win me, you can be the leader for all I care."
Ma Fan was seemingly not angry as he chuckled, "Of course, the most important trait of a leader is his wits, not combat strength. I graduated from MIT and was a chairman of the Tianlu Group. I believe that I have the means to lead everyone out of danger."
Ma Fan was not those who sought to settle things by strength. After all, he was not one to work to his disadvantages.
Yue Zhong eyed these unreasonable people and shook his head, walking towards the distance. He didn’t want to have anything to do with them.
This 2nd World was definitely fraught with dangers, Yue Zhong wasn’t willing to risk his lives for this bunch of people, nor was he willing to be their subordinate.
The moment he moved, the rest of the groups hesitated before moving in their own directions. After all, there was only death should they stay.
There was not a hint of greenery of life, nor food or the most precious, water. In order to live, they had to at least find a water source.
The group of fangirls chattered for a while before following Yue Zhong.
The one who was the prettiest and had her clothes ripped earlier ran up to Yue Zhong’s side, "Hello. I’m called Xiao Lan. What’s your name?"
"Yue Zhong!" Yue Zhong replied indifferently while continuing.
Xiao Lan gritted her teeth and continued, "Yue Zhong, thank you so much for just now. I didn’t expect Kang Ryu Chan to be such a person. I was truly blind!!"
She had liked Kang Ryu Chan, only to be let down with the earlier episode. It caused her idolization and feelings about him to crash and disappear.
Yue Zhong continued walking when he suddenly frowned, as a powerful sense of danger arose in his heart. He immediately barked out, "Stop!"
Hearing his shout, those who were on the same path were taken aback.
Many looked forward, yet did not discover anything.
One young hooligan looked at Yue Zhong and smirked, "There’s nothing! Don’t try and frighten us, fool!!"
The 8 hooligans shot condescending looks at Yue Zhong before continuing forth, "Let’s go! Coward!!"
One of them gave a wolf whistle to Xiao Lan and the rest, "Beauties! Come with us!! There’s no future with this scaredy-cat!! Us brothers will protect you girls!"
They pulled out their melee weapons, consisting of machetes and butcher knives, showcasing their muscles, hoping to attract Xiao Lan and her friends over.
If Yue Zhong had not shown his weapons earlier, they would have long since rushed over to chop him to death and snatch Xiao Lan and her friends away. However, they were wary of that Stinger in his hands and did not dare go overboard.
Xiao Lan and the rest retreated instead, standing behind Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong himself did not bother about those youths, instead coldly staring ahead. It was a vast plain of nothing, and there was no difference between the area in front and everywhere else. He did not sense any life forms, however, his danger perception was ringing like crazy, every cell in his body taut and screaming at him not to advance further.
Yue Zhong’s pupils narrowed as he sucked in a deep breath and said solemnly, "Retreat!"
After that, he quickly moved away.
Xiao Lan and the rest exchanged looks and followed his lead. They might be innocent, but they could tell that Yue Zhong was not joking.
One of the hooligans continued to jeer, "What a coward! There’s nothing there! Brothers, let’s go!! We’ll take a look!"
"Go!"
One of them looked at Yue Zhong with despise, in order to show off their bravado, they began to walk towards the region.
They pulled out their weapons and looked around warily.
The leader walked for a few hundred meters, and did not discover anything amiss, before turning to shoot another look at Yue Zhong, "What the heck! There’s nothing! Coward!!"
Yue Zhong ignored them and continued to stare at the rest of the groups, noting that most of them had already become smaller dots in the distance as they went about their own ways.
No one was willing to wait for their deaths here in this desolate place. They had to look for food and water, otherwise, they were doomed.
Xiao Lan then said, "Yue Zhong, let’s go over! If we stay here, we’ll just be waiting for death."
Yue Zhong looked at the position of the youths and replied, "It’s dangerous there! We can’t go over."
He was extremely confident in his perception of danger after going through so many battles. It had saved his life countless times. Although he couldn’t pinpoint the danger, he was not willing to go.
One of the girls, who looked like a bookworm, with her hair in a single ponytail, wearing thick spectacles, couldn’t help but ask, "Yue Zhong, I’m Shen Yi. Do you mind telling us what danger is there?"
Yue Zhong replied mildly, "I’m not too sure myself, I just feel that it’s extremely dangerous there."
Another girl who had maroon hair, her skin fair and her makeup thick, shot Yue Zhong a glance, her beautiful features showing contempt, Coward! You retreat every time you feel danger? Are you still a man? Men should be brave and face every obstacle that comes their way. You haven’t even seen the shadow of your enemy and retreated, are you still considered a man?"
This pretty yet proud girl was called Kong Cui Yun and was one of the prettier ones in the group. Although she wasn’t drop-dead gorgeous, she was a decent beauty. She had been termed as a wallflower before and had been the object of pursuit of many boys.
Yue Zhong glanced at her and ignored her.
In all his conquests, he had come across countless beautiful women. While Kong Cui Yun was pretty, she wasn’t comparable to the beauties in his own harem, and could not affect his mental state.
Kong Cui Yun saw Yue Zhong actually ignoring her, and a sense of fury arose in her heart. She frowned and was about to shoot her mouth off.
At this time, one of the girls shrieked in fear, "He’s spewing blood!!"
Everyone looked towards the direction, only to see the loud youth kneeling on the ground, his complexion pale. His body was trembling uncontrollably as he continued to spit out mouthfuls of blood.
One by one, the rest of the youths also began to kneel, their faces contorted in pain as they spat out blood, rolling around as they struggled madly.
Kong Cui Yun watched this in horror, her own face turning pale. Had it not been for Yue Zhong’s warning, they would all have been part of the scene in front. Thinking to just how she had mocked him for being a coward, she felt her face burning in shame.
