Chapter 22: The Fall of Jiangjing
Chapter 22: The Fall of Jiangjing
Qin Jun looked at Su Ya with a smile and asked softly, “Were you disappointed that I didn't care about your life just now?” He stared intently into Su Ya's eyes.
As long as Su Ya showed any sign of resentment or disappointment, he would send her on her way without hesitation.
Su Ya smiled, her expression incredibly sweet. She replied seriously, “If you had cared about my life, I would have been disappointed.
'In my eyes, you are someone who accomplishes great things. Someone who aspires to greatness cannot be swayed by minor matters like my life.”
Su Ya's meaning was clear: if Qin Jun cared about her life, he would be someone who could be swayed by personal feelings.
But the fact that Qin Jun was so ruthless and unfeeling made Su Ya even more submissive. She was the type of woman who only submitted to the strong and Qin Jun was such a strong person…
Hearing this, Qin Jun couldn't help but laugh heartily. This woman was very interesting! He turned to the SSS-grade talent seed, not wasting any more time, and grabbed the fruit.
The next moment, the talent seed transformed into a stream of light and entered Qin Jun's forehead. The entire ground of the interdimensional instance began to tremble!
After an unknown period, Qin Jun finally opened his eyes slowly. His face showed immense satisfaction.
This SSS-grade talent seed was truly extraordinary! It could devour other abilities!It meant that the more talents he devoured, the stronger Qin Jun would become, with almost no limit!
The system's notification sounded in his ear again.
“Ding, the host has acquired all potential rewards. Additional reward: Rebirth Memory!”
The next moment, a memory suddenly appeared in Qin Jun's mind. Chen Zhong's memories from his previous life…
A smile appeared on Qin Jun's face.
Double the joy!
This memory was incredibly precious, almost equal in value to the SSS-grade talent in Qin Jun’s eyes.
With this memory, Qin Jun, who originally knew nothing about the apocalypse, became thoroughly familiar with it. He also knew many future events and the direction of future trends!
He even knew where an S-grade interdimensional phenomenon would appear!
A system panel floated before Qin Jun’s eyes.
‘Host: Qin Jun
Physical Strength: 1
Extraordinary Talent: Talent Devourer (SSS-grade; devoured talents: none).
Psychic Control (S-grade)
Extraordinary Level: 1
Villain Points: 45
Shop: Unlocked
Qin Jun’s face showed immense satisfaction. His gains this time were incredibly rich.
With the rebirth memory and the SSS-grade talent seed, a bright golden path lay before him…
Qin Jun and his companions didn’t stay long in the interdimensional instance. After the SSS-grade talent seed was collected, the instance space began to destabilize.
Soon, the three of them left the interdimensional space and it began to warp and then disappeared. The bodies of Chen Zhong and An Mian also completely vanished from this world…
When Zhao Yi, who was guarding the entrance, saw Qin Jun, he immediately stepped forward and said, “Young Master, we just received news that the safety zone’s defense line has completely collapsed.
“The Governor’s Mansion has moved to the garrison district to continue commanding the overall situation. However, I estimate that the fall of Jiangjing will occur by tonight.”
Although the northern end of Jiangbei Bridge was blown up, there were still a few ferries on the island, and desperate people wouldn’t give up any possible escape.
They would certainly use the ferries to reach the safety zone. Among them, there would undoubtedly be many infected individuals.
Coupled with the zombie outbreak within the safety zone, the situation in Jiangjing had spiraled out of control, and the efforts of the Jiangjing authorities over the past few hours had failed.
But what did all this have to do with him?
Qin Jun nodded.
Now that Chen Zhong was dead and the SSS-grade talent was in his possession, there was nothing left for him in Jiangjing.
Moreover, he needed more time to adapt to his new SSS-grade talent. Even earlier, when he forcibly used Psychic Control, his nerves still ached.
It was time to rest…
“Let’s go. We’re leaving Jiangjing now.”
Zhao Yi had been waiting for this command and he immediately said, “I’ve arranged everything. There’s a private jet waiting for you at Jiangjing International Airport!”
With Zhao Yi and a group of soldiers escorting him, Qin Jun’s convoy left Dongxing Building and sped towards Jiangjing International Airport.
Along the way, chaos reigned.
Burning cars, rioting mobs, crying civilians—all flashed past the car windows and disappeared from sight.
Though nothing could disturb Qin Jun’s good mood now…
