Chapter 151: Chapter 148: King of Beasts

Vice General Du sent a few people to help Chen Xing drive the vehicles to Lincheng.

Once everyone had left, Chen Xing moved the supplies she had gathered—oil (natural gas), seeds, and the like—into her space.

It was better to keep driving the RV. It wasn’t a secret, anyway.

Besides, driving this RV meant she could sleep wherever she went. ’What’s not to love about that?’

After driving her beloved big RV for half a day, she reached a place called Peak Spring Villa.

Peak Spring Villa wasn’t right by the road; she had to exit the national highway and drive for another kilometer.

The villa was nestled at the foot of a mountain, its courtyard encircled by a slow-flowing mountain spring.

The small, two-story building was in a state of disrepair, looking as though it hadn’t been inhabited for a long time.

After getting out of the RV, Chen Xing let Meng Hu wander around on its own while she went inside the villa to inspect it.

The inside of the house was just as dilapidated. Many of the wooden doors were damaged, and the walls and floors were covered in numerous dark stains that looked like dried blood.

It was clear that a brutal fight had once taken place here.

Finding no danger, she relaxed.

Back outside the RV, she opened up the outdoor stove.

She had a huge craving for malatang today.

So, she found a packet of hot pot base, added it to some milk, and brought it to a boil.

Fatty beef slices, chicken strips, fish balls, shiitake mushroom balls, then she added wide glass noodles, fish tofu, instant ramen... and all sorts of vegetables.

’This might not be enough,’ she thought.

So, she took out a piece of pork tenderloin, coated it in starch, and made a fragrant dish of crispy sweet-and-sour pork.

As the pot simmered, the aroma wafted through the air, absolutely mouth-watering.

Chen Xing unfolded the folding table and comfortably ate her lunch.

For the past two days with Song Yiguo, she had been making do with whatever food was available. She had really been roughing it.

She enjoyed the meal so much that she didn’t even leave a drop of broth.

After she had eaten her fill and cleaned up, she wasn’t in a hurry to get back on the road.

In the sunroom on the RV’s roof, Song Yiguo had thoughtfully already set up planter boxes.

All she had to do was get some soil from her space, spread it out, find some seeds to plant, and then water them a little.

She didn’t plant any special seeds, just chose several common vegetables.

There were cucumbers, potatoes, peppers, eggplants, cabbage, tomatoes...

She also filled the RV’s refrigerator with food, and stocked the storage cabinets with rice, flour, oil, and seasonings.

In the outer cargo compartments, she also stored some bottled water.

Finally, everything was starting to look right.

The original foldable sofa inside the RV had been removed, creating just enough space for Meng Hu to rest.

Having finished its stroll, Meng Hu had already claimed the spot and was sound asleep.

Once everything was prepared, she got back in the driver’s seat and headed toward Hualai City.

She wasn’t in a rush, so she drove at a relaxed pace.

As her large RV slowly pulled onto the main road, two cars sped up from behind to catch up.

A man in the passenger seat of the first car stuck his head out, a greedy look on his face as he stared at the RV.

When he saw that the driver was a woman, his expression turned lecherous.

"Well, look what we have here, a beauty... Hey, beautiful, aren’t you lonely all by yourself?"

Chen Xing completely ignored him and kept driving.

She had already seen the three people in that car through her rearview mirror.

When Zhao Er saw that Chen Xing wasn’t responding, he just assumed she was scared and got even more worked up. "Buddy, catch up to her!"

The car sped up, and once again, the two vehicles were driving side-by-side.

Zhao Er leaned halfway out of the car and whistled. "Beautiful, it’s not safe to be alone. How about big brother here keeps you safe? Look at me, I’m strong and healthy. Killing a few monsters is like a game to me."

The man in the driver’s seat chimed in, "That’s right, beautiful! My Brother Zhao has great stamina, haha..."

"Hahaha..."

Sleazy laughter erupted from the three men in the gray sedan.

Chen Xing glanced at the other vehicle in her rearview mirror—a truck.

There were two shirtless men in the cab. They would laugh from time to time, apparently aware that the car in front was harassing a girl.

’Looks like this is their whole group,’ she thought.

"What’s wrong, beautiful? Did you see a handsome guy in the truck behind us? Tell me which one you like, and I’ll be your matchmaker!" Zhao Er continued his fawning, keeping his car parallel to Chen Xing’s.

Chen Xing gave Zhao Er an emotionless glance and then hit the brakes.

Zhao Er and the others thought their chance had come. They rubbed their hands in excitement and got out of the car.

The other two men naturally weren’t going to miss this opportunity, and they all climbed out, unable to hide their excitement.

But before they could even reach the RV, they heard a noise coming from it.

’Don’t tell me this bitch has people hiding in her RV?’

’But we already gave it a quick look. At most, there could only be two or three people hidden inside.’

’There are five of us, and we all have superpowers. Ordinary people are no match for us.’

Just as they were smugly approaching the front of the RV, a furry head suddenly poked out.

That was no person.

It was a beast—the king of beasts from the mountains!

One man was so scared he fell to the ground on the spot, a stream of yellow urine flowing from his crotch.

Zhao Er, however, was calmer and was the first to retreat.

The men in the truck had their view mostly blocked; they could only see Zhao Er backing away.

As they were getting out to see what was wrong, they saw Meng Hu open its bloody maw and bite another man’s head clean off.

By this point, Zhao Er had already unleashed his superpower.

But it didn’t hit Meng Hu at all.

Meng Hu leaped into the air and swiped with its sharp claws.

Zhao Er was sent flying a great distance.

Meng Hu pressed forward, taking out the truck driver in a single bite.

The man in the passenger seat had already scrambled back into the truck, but Meng Hu smashed the window with its head, hooked the man with its sharp claws, and yanked him back out through the window before biting his head off.

Zhao Er was seriously injured.

The will to survive forced him to use every last bit of his strength to escape, dragging his body toward the sedan.

But in the blink of an eye, he was taken out.

Chen Xing got out of the RV, glanced at the five corpses, and walked toward the truck’s cargo container.

’I wonder what’s inside this truck?’

She didn’t have a great need for supplies anymore; no matter what it was, it wouldn’t pique much of her interest.

She had everything she needed in her space and could even raise her own livestock, poultry, vegetables, and fruits.

The moment the door was opened, a dense crowd of heads met Chen Xing’s eyes, catching her by surprise.

The sudden bright light made the people, who had been in darkness, unable to open their eyes.

Startled, the people inside shielded their eyes and shrank back one by one.

Chen Xing hadn’t expected the truck to be filled with a group of young women.

Ranging from thirteen or fourteen to their forties, all of them were rather good-looking.

After their eyes adjusted to the light, the women saw that the person who opened the door was another woman. Some looked at her with pity, others with resignation, and some with schadenfreude.

There was only one fate for women who ended up in this truck: to become playthings for men.

This was their assumption, as their captors only took pretty women.

Chen Xing’s appearance simply meant there was one more woman who would share their fate.

Just then, a more clever woman noticed that the men who should have been shoving Chen Xing inside hadn’t appeared. She immediately moved forward a bit, stood by the door, and asked, "What about... those men?"
