Chapter 17 - Wang Ning

It has been a while since Wang Ning came back in the country but she hasn't gone home yet. She knows that Kai is not dead and that he supposedly is a genius which means he had been hiding his ability from the family to play high school student.

She decided to kill the bastard when the time comes and he will not survive at that time. Her phone rang again, she decided to answer it this time.

"Ning'er why did you break up with me through a text. Even if you are not satisfied with me, does that warrant for you to disappear and not come to school? We are graduating this year have you forgotten?"

"How is Stacy these days? You guys been having sleep overs much since I have been gone?" Her voice cold. She turned off the call.

She is so angry at the guy that she volunteers to enter the ring next. This place is an underground fighting den where fighters can make fast money as long as they can entertain. But, they may lose their lives inside the ring if they are not careful or if they go against someone more powerful than themselves.

Wang Ning entered the ring. She is wearing sports wear and running shoes. As soon as she entered she was bashed against the wall by her opponent. Not that she did not see him coming.

She didn't fight back. Sometimes the only way to silence the noise in her head is by beating her head senseless. She does this, gets into a ring and lets the contestants hit her with all they've got until they are exhausted or until she gets mad.

She is beaten up so badly in the ring that the crowd is cheering loud. When she has had enough she moves to the side even when she is not using her eyes to avoid an up coming punch to the side ribs. The opponent is surprised but Ning Ning returns the beating without any hesitation.

She punched kicked and used the guy's head to slam the floor, again and again. The scene is thrilling so much because no one saw her retaliation coming. They thought she is a rookie who thought too highly of herself.

When she leaves the ring, the other guy is lying flat on the ground bloodied and bruised but he will live, he is not paralyzed. She leaved with a straight back and a loud cheering sound from the crowd.

She doesn't like these people who cheer on as someone is being beaten and even killed. They cheer louder and louder but she can not blame them. "We all have our own demons."

This is her last night in this city. Tomorrow she will be traveling to the most chaotic city in the country. The laminin city. It is the place where territory has been clearly divided amongst the gangs in the area. She wants to go there and try her luck.

She has supplies and weapons but she will never have enough medical supplies or man power. She hopes to recruit a few gangs to work for her. But she will have to establish her foundation before going there.

She was thinking of finding a good spot and seclude herself until she successfully builds her foundation. Those gangs also have a cultivation background even though it may be low, but the numbers are what's worrying her.

She has recruited 5 mercenaries and three gangs to work for her when the apocalypse start she will have them move into the villa area.

There are a number of empty villas in her family's property so she is not worried about space. She told them to get rid of drugs and only focus on getting weapons because a situation is coming and weapons along with ammunition will be scarce. She also gave them money to get as many weapons as possible.

She thinks it is a shame she can't get those light beam rifles because they are controlled even more strictly than normal weapons and when the apocalypse comes, the government will use these weapons to intimidate private bases into submission.

She clenched her fists in anger at the memories. Those fuckers will come again and take more than half her family's property. This is why she is trying to amass power and wealth. If only she had her family's support in this. She looked at the people asking to help with her wounds and refused.

Wang Ning is now a cultivator with very fast healing and strong body. The spiritual energy refines her body and makes it stronger. Her spirit root is fire which would be great if it was at least an S rank but it is a C+.

This will be able to burn only to a certain level unless she increases her talent. It took her an entire year to reach second realm and complete it.

She now has to work hard to get a foundation establishment elixir from the system. Her system is an energy exchange system. The more mysterious energy she can exchange for it the more powerful products she can buy depending on her energy points.

She currently needs a lot of qi to exchange but the system is not in the hurry only she is anxious to get strong.

A few weeks ago she bought a pair of long swords, she plans to go to get a master to teach her how to use them properly. However, if she is able to get high level treasure with enough spirit power to exchange for the elixir she will build her foundation first.

She has also stocked up on cold weapons a lot time ago. Ning'er can probably arm six thousand people at once. But she is still hoping she can get the light beam weapons including their energy refills.

She looked at her phone and answered now that she has come out of the ring she feels much better. "Ning Ning, don't misunderstand brother Jun, him and I are just friends." The sweet voice of her roommate came through.

"Stacy. I am not stupid. Please don't call me again or it will involve your parents and we both don't want that." Her voice turned cold. Even Stacy was abandoned by Liu Jun when that woman shows up.

That woman is very strong she only needs to raise her hand and thousands of zombies are killed by her skeleton army. If only she can also awaken such a fearsome ability.

The aura of a necromancer allows the dead to rise and follow her command while shedding skin and becoming only skeleton controlled by the aura of a necromancer.

That aura is not good for the living unless it belongs to you. If it's yours then it will help your mortal body become strong but while controlling the army the body is vulnerable.

If the aura is not in the body, the necromancer she is not as strong or fast or immortal. She still prefers her own power that will stay inside her body even as he fights on the battlefield. Even if it means she doesn't have immortal minions who can not be infected by the zombie virus.

Wang Ning has been playing on the edge of the knife ever since she came back from death. In her previous life she lived as a privileged princess but it only made her easy prey. Now, she has a few thousand followers, millions of supplies and personal strength.

She thinks maybe it is time she want back home but...she can't look at her family without seeing them covered in blood. It is clear that she is not back yet..at least in her head.

She is stuck in the nightmare. She wanted to make sure that the nightmare doesn't happen this time around so she called home. 

Wang Chen got a mysterious phone call one day from his estrange sister.

She asked him to use most of the family's wealth to buy food, necessities and weapons. "A great calamity is coming where money will be useless, only supplies will be wealth." She had said in a serious tone. 

"What proof do you have?" Wang Chen had asked her and she readily sent him a video. In the video a man is eating a woman in an airport. People are screaming and running away.

"I am trying to gather a small army but you need to come through with the resources. Even the government will start hording food soon. If you don't listen to me we will go from being one of the richest people to being nothing. They will trample on us and we will not have any way to resist." She doesn't sound like the spoiled princess from the past. Something happened to her, but what?

"One more thing, don't be obvious with your actions lest you become a target of suspicion. Find a place near our home for me to house tens of thousands of people will you?"

"When are you coming back" Wang Chen had aske her. Tens of thousands? He is trying to indulge her but...tens of thousands?

"I am trying to get stronger, If you're smart you would find a way too." She dropped the call.

Confused, he decided not to ignore the warning and used his connections to buy warehouses and build new set of underground storages in his family's open land.

Remembering the housing request he hired a talented architect to make a blueprint that will be a structure large enough to house tens of thousands of people. Hypothetically..

The design took a few weeks with the increase in technology, many things to

not so hard and daunting like in the past. The place is the new kind of living housing for the middle class people.

Although his father wondered where he will find people to live in a secluded place like this were schools are are expensive and going to their work will cost money. But Wang Yan didn't pry into his matters.

It is not a small project so it will take at least six months and a year to complete the rows of underground buildings. The mountains provided enough resources though.

The mountain belongs to Chen, it was given to him when he made his first business deal as a congratulations gift. Even though it is on Wang property it is a distance away. The construction will not disturb the residents.

The Wang land has a few large mountains in the back. This is where they get unrefined construction soil. Wang Yan hired more technologically inclined companies to work together and complement the project as soon as possible.

The security system is comparable to that of Kai's mansion. His sister has never asked anything of him so he will do this for her. The news have been very disturbing these days and it is obvious the government is covering something up.

He is also worried that what Ning Ning said would come true but he hopes it is not true. His connections in the government is also pointing towards something major happening that will harm the world's population.

He has invested a lot of money into this project because the events in that video are also happening all over the world. He hopes whatever virus it is will be contained and cured but in case the world descend into chaos and food can not be planted and grown, he needs to keep reserves for his own family.

If nothing happens, he will just take it as indulgence of an older brother. At most, he will be stuck with a lot of food and weapons. There are many cold storages to delay expiration. The Payne batteries have also been stocked so that this little camp site is able to run with electricity if something happens.
