The Villainous Female Side Character Pretends to Be an Omega in the Apocalypse and Raises a Cat - Chapter 20

The leader of the Electromagnetic Squadron, Thor, held Jiang Yun’s abilities in high regard.

Although compared to natural elements and other abilities that could directly attack zombies, the concealment ability seemed to have no offensive power at all.

But this was an apocalyptic world overrun by zombies.

The ability to conceal one’s presence and remain undetected by zombies was practically like having a cheat code.

More importantly, not only could the user move freely among hordes of zombies, but they could also bring companions along.

The more Thor thought about it, the more she found this ability incredibly impressive.

If combined with her own lightning ability, dominating the apocalypse would be within reach.

For this grand goal, and to restore peace to the world,

Thor had repeatedly extended an olive branch to Jiang Yun.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yun had no interest in dominating the apocalypse and only listened to Xu Luo, repeatedly ignoring the olive branch offered to her.

Experts were always entitled to have some quirks.

Instead of getting angry, Thor became even more determined.

Realizing that approaching Jiang Yun was futile, she immediately changed her strategy and turned her attention to Xu Luo.

Upon interacting with Xu Luo, Thor discovered that although Xu Luo was an ordinary person, she dared to venture out for supplies, the kind that required leaving the residential area!

Not even some ability users had the courage she possessed.

Thor immediately decided: she wanted both of these talents under her command!

Xu Luo grew increasingly annoyed by her persistence and repeatedly emphasized that she had already formed a team with others.

At first, Thor believed her, frustrated that she had arrived too late.

But as time passed, she noticed that only Xu Luo and Jiang Yun went out to collect supplies, and the rumored team leader was nowhere to be seen.

Gradually, she came to see this as nothing more than an excuse, Xu Luo had not formed a team with anyone at all.

Thor approached Xu Luo once again, this time even targeting Xu Luo’s wife and daughter.

Faced with a plot development that had completely diverged from the original story, Meng Qinghe had resigned herself to fate.

“Qinghe kitty, you have no idea how annoying she is.”

Xu Chuyao pouted, chattering incessantly to the kitten about Thor’s various offenses.

Supplies were scarce in the apocalypse, and even as the leader of a squad, Thor couldn’t produce many snacks to win over Xu Chuyao.

But she soon came up with a solution.

She managed to gather a full set of exercise books from somewhere.

Elementary, middle, and high school levels were all included.

She sorted these exercise books by grade and gave them all to Xu Chuyao as a gift.

Xu Chuyao was truly “grateful.”

Finally, in the apocalypse, where she didn’t have to go to school, someone still remembered to give her exercise books!

With this gift, Xu Chuyao, who had merely found her annoying before, now outright disliked her.

Meng Qinghe suppressed her laughter and indignantly meowed, “Meow, meow, meow, meow.”

How could there be such a person who gives exercise books as a gift?

Feeling supported by the kitten, Xu Chuyao immediately gained confidence, and the two of them united in their condemnation of Thor.

After venting her frustrations, Xu Chuyao brought up another worry.

“That Thor keeps demanding that Mother prove she’s already joined another ability-user squad. Every time Mother goes out to collect supplies, she interferes.”

Meng Qinghe secretly glanced at Chi Yingdong out of the corner of her eye.

Although Chi Yingdong had never explicitly stated that she had formed a team with Xu Luo, everyone had tacitly accepted it as fact.

Now, someone was openly trying to poach her team members.

Would Chi Yingdong remain indifferent?

At this moment, Chi Yingdong was completely absorbed in playing Happy Match-3.

She never understood before why Xiaomao could be so obsessed with such a simple, skill-less little game.

It wasn’t until one day when Xiaomao got stuck on a level and asked for her help to pass it that she experienced the magic of this game.

After perfectly clearing the level, Chi Yingdong suddenly looked up toward the door.

During this period, her supernatural abilities had improved slightly, and her five senses had become increasingly sharp.

The chaotic footsteps outside grew louder as they approached, causing Chi Yingdong to frown in displeasure.

Without even thinking, she knew it was the Electromagnetic Team searching the building and had reached the top floor.

In her previous life, there had been no such person as Thunder God, but she did remember there was an anime enthusiast in the neighborhood.

Chi Yingdong had long stopped caring that the world’s development was increasingly diverging from her previous life, as long as it didn’t affect her.

Outside.

Thunder God knocked heavily on the door and shouted loudly, “Is anyone inside? If no one answers, we’ll break the door down.”

Chi Yingdong turned off the generator, and the room instantly plunged into darkness.

After scanning the room to confirm there were no flaws, she opened the door a crack. “Can I help you?”

Seeing that someone actually lived there, Thunder God instinctively took a step back.

When she clearly saw Chi Yingdong’s face, the usually decisive and efficient woman actually began to stammer.

This captain, who possessed powerful lightning-based supernatural abilities, was actually named Qian Ruanruan and was an Alpha.

Moreover, she was an avid collector of BJD dolls.

She had even emptied a room in her house, filling it with fabrics for making doll clothes.

Stammering, Thunder God quickly waved her hands, “N-no… nothing. We just came up to check if anyone was living here, as long as it’s not zombies.”

Meng Qinghe ran behind Chi Yingdong, using her to block herself, and curiously peeked outside.

She had always heard Xu Chuyao talk about Thunder God, but this was the first time she had seen her in person.

She was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen, dressed in a very anime-style outfit, especially her hair, which was dyed a striking orange.

“Alright, since you’ve confirmed it, please leave now.”

As Chi Yingdong spoke, she started to close the door.

“Hey, hey, hey, wait, wait, wait…”

Seeing that it was too late, Qian Ruanruan hurriedly stuck her foot in the door crack, immediately grimacing in pain.

Hearing the noise, Xu Chuyao ran over. Recognizing Thunder God, she without a word delivered another kick to Qian Ruanruan’s already injured foot.

“Ow!” The burning pain on her instep made Qian Ruanruan unable to hold back her anger.

Just as she was about to explode, she realized it was Xu Chuyao and forcibly swallowed her curses. “What are you doing here?”

Xu Chuyao crossed her arms, lifted her little face, and snorted coldly, “None of your business.”

Suddenly, an idea struck Xu Chuyao, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at Qian Ruanruan. “Weren’t you curious about who my mom’s captain is?”

She raised her small hand and proudly pointed at Chi Yingdong. “It’s this big sister.”

Qian Ruanruan’s suspicious gaze shifted between the two, finally settling on Chi Yingdong as if seeking confirmation.

Xu Chuyao nervously clenched the hem of her clothes, afraid that Sister Chi would deny it on the spot.

If that happened, this annoying person would surely pester her mother even more.

What Xu Chuyao feared did not occur.

Chi Yingdong nodded in acknowledgment. “Xu Luo is indeed a member of my team.”

Qian Ruanruan hadn’t expected that Xu Luo actually had teammates. Instantly deflated like a punctured balloon, her entire demeanor wilted.

But soon, a fighting spirit reignited in her eyes.

“Then would you be willing to bring your entire team and join us?”

Meng Qinghe, hiding in the back, nearly choked on her own saliva.

When Xu Chuyao had mentioned that the God of Thunder sent her practice workbooks, she already thought this deity had rather peculiar logic.

Now she was witnessing it firsthand, failing to recruit someone, he actually went straight to plotting to swallow up the entire team.

Qian Ruanruan promised Chi Yingdong, “Once you join our team, I can let you be the vice-captain.”

Seeing Chi Yingdong remain expressionless, Qian Ruanruan grew somewhat anxious.

Considering that the other person could have been a captain, but would become a vice-captain after joining them, it was indeed understandable to be unhappy.

Qian Ruanruan compromised, “If you want to be the captain, that’s fine too. I can take the vice-captain position, as long as you’re willing to join us.”

The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl gestured animatedly while painting a beautiful blueprint of the two teams merging, spouting chuunibyou phrases like “the strong joining forces” and “maintaining world peace.”

Unbeknownst to her, in the eyes of adults, this was clearly just drawing a big pie in the sky.

Chi Yingdong didn’t want to eat the pie, nor even accept it.

Chi Yingdong coldly refused, “I’m not interested. You can leave now.”

Rejected multiple times, Qian Ruanruan finally understood that Chi Yingdong truly had no interest in saving the world. Disappointed, she crouched down and began drawing circles on the ground.

As she crouched, Qian Ruanruan unexpectedly discovered the little cat hiding behind Chi Yingdong.

Their eyes met directly.

Chi Yingdong blinked.

Qian Ruanruan blinked back.

Chi Yingdong wasn’t one to comfort others, she had already wasted several minutes at the door.

Even though Qian Ruanruan looked pitiful crouching on the ground, Chi Yingdong still closed the door.

The moment the door shut, it cut off the gaze between the human and the cat.
