Chapter 88: A Paper Figure?

Lin Qiao staggered and was immediately embraced by Luo Nanchen.

She felt as if Luo Nanchen's voice was like an electric current, flowing from his chest into her ears. "Don't you want me anymore?"

This deep, numbingly soothing voice was like a wronged little beast, curling up in her arms to seek love.

Lin Qiao thought to herself that this was simply a sniper shot to her preferences...

When Luo Nanchen was young, she couldn't resist his adorable charm. Unexpectedly, even after he had grown up, she still couldn't resist it. This kind of contrast cuteness was just too much of a foul...

Sure enough, it only took a moment for her to switch between her various fan - like feelings towards Luo Nanchen...

Lin Qiao came to her senses. "Of course not. How could I... By the way, is the matter outside finished?"

Luo Nanchen nodded. "It's being deployed. This situation won't last long."

Lin Qiao felt relieved.

First, Zou Lvrui had changed the plot. She had wracked her brains to contain the zombies, but she hadn't told Luo Nanchen about this.

It meant that Zou Lvrui couldn't directly interfere with the development of this world. She had just turned an unsolvable mess into a solvable problem, but she hadn't solved it herself.

The only one who could truly solve it was Luo Nanchen.

The next day, the sky was filled with turbid clouds, and the cold wind was biting.

Lin Qiao wrapped her cloak tightly. "I wonder how things are going."

Zou Lvrui turned to look at the anxious expression on Lin Qiao's face and couldn't help but laugh. "Are you in such a hurry? I've already written down the result. Besides... Who is Luo Nanchen? He's my leading male character. Don't worry."

Seeing Zou Lvrui bragging, Lin Qiao thought of the chaotic plot and couldn't help but get angry. "How dare you say that? The plot follows your words, you know!"

Zou Lvrui clasped her hands together, exaggeratedly admitting her mistake and even squeezing out some invisible tears. "I'm humble. I'm guilty..."

Lin Qiao: "..."

She shouldn't have spoken. Zou Lvrui was simply a drama queen...

Lin Qiao shut up and didn't want to talk to Zou Lvrui anymore. She felt that she was being influenced by Zou Lvrui's silly and cute attributes.

...She was almost deviating from her dignified and elegant persona as the queen mother.

In the desolate and empty suburbs, the wild wind whistled.

Luo Nanchen, Li Gusong, Mo Xiujie, and Dong Peirong stood one behind the other on top of a hill, looking down at the zombies wandering aimlessly below the cliff.

As for Meng Erliu, he was tied up in the valley of the hill, his face covered in blood and looking extremely disheveled, forming a sharp contrast with the four men.

The night wind was solemn. Although the four men on the mountain peak were each good - looking in their own way, the most eye - catching one was still Luo Nanchen with a serious expression. He was so good - looking that one could almost ignore the other good - looking men beside him.

Luo Nanchen's sword - shaped eyebrows were raised, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and he stood with his hands behind his back, looking down with a contemptuous air, as if the world was nothing but a trifle.

A black - clothed man came to report. "Your Majesty, all the zombies in the city have been led here."

Luo Nanchen pondered for a moment. "Wait a little longer."

The zombies were unconscious and were attracted by the smell of humans. They stiffly approached the hill where the four men were standing, just like they did when they were biting people. When they smelled the fresh blood, they became even more excited.

Meng Erliu laughed. Obviously, he still didn't understand the current situation. "Luo Nanchen, hahaha... So what? No one can solve these zombies. So what are you, the famous Emperor Nanchen, doing now? Letting me out for some fresh air?!"

Meng Erliu's words were venomous. He stared at Luo Nanchen standing not far away with a ferocious look on his face. The thick purple veins on his face had burst, his skin was stained with brown pus, and there were even some unknown creatures swimming in his blood vessels. As he moved his body, they burst out of the blood vessels and fell to the ground.

Mo Xiujie and the others turned their faces away, not wanting to smell the nauseating stench.

Meng Erliu didn't care at all. Obviously, he was used to it. "Do you think you're an all - powerful emperor? You're just a paper figure, a puppet controlled by others. Hahaha... How pitiful and pathetic!"

Luo Nanchen stared coldly at the disheveled Meng Erliu, as if the person being talked about wasn't himself. He watched the other person's farce leisurely.

As a reader, Meng Erliu knew well the dark factors hidden in Luo Nanchen's body. He deliberately said prickly words to provoke Luo Nanchen. "What? Do you really think you can be together with your queen mother forever? It's a joke!"

Luo Nanchen glanced at Meng Erliu, who was controlled by the shackles, with a sarcastic look in his eyes. A cold and intimidating aura emanated from him.

"Forever is up to me. It's not your place, a clown, to dictate."

Luo Nanchen took a step forward, and Mo Xiujie followed closely behind, always on high alert.

"The will of heaven cannot be violated, but I can!"

"And you can only watch helplessly as I shatter all your plans step by step... Watch your arrogance crumble little by little."

Although Luo Nanchen was a cute baby in front of Lin Qiao and wanted to be the sweetest person in the world, in fact, having been an emperor for so many years, he was best at being ruthless and having a deep - seated scheming mind.

This was something that was ingrained in Luo Nanchen's bones.

It's just that in front of Lin Qiao, he would hide all of this, afraid of scaring her or scaring her away. Deep down, Luo Nanchen was still the Emperor Nanchen.

There was a hint of panic in Meng Erliu's eyes. Relying on his knowledge of the plot in the book, he thought he could gain a foothold here and no longer have to live a useless life like in the modern world.

Who would have thought that he would meet Lin Qiao...

Where exactly had things gone wrong?

Luo Nanchen gently waved his hand, and Li Gusong and Mo Xiujie began to beat the drums.

The drumheads vibrated, and then wave after wave of invisible cannonballs gathered at the bottom of the hill.

Screams came from the bottom of the hill, piercing the ears and extremely tragic.

Luo Nanchen watched the struggling zombies at the bottom without any emotion. These zombies had become the source of the disaster and must be eradicated. Otherwise, if they affected others, it would be an even greater disaster.

After a while, the shrill screams at the bottom of the hill had disappeared completely. Only the whistling wind made the place seem desolate and miserable.

Meng Erliu's eyes were empty. "How could this happen... How?"

This was a scene that only appeared in modern movies. He had spent a great deal of effort to create such a level and didn't even care that his body had become a mess.

But now, now...

"Ah..."

Meng Erliu let out a long howl to the sky. Why could this paper figure effortlessly have everything?!

Power, beauty, money...

And he could only spin in place, living a life without dignity!!

"Why? Why?!"

"Why can you have everything without doing anything... Clearly, you're just a paper figure, a paper figure controlled by others?!"
