Chapter 28.1 - I Don’t Want to be a Lackey (1/3)

The Jin family had been involved in the illegal firearm business a few years ago. Afterward, they had whitewashed everything and converted into doing legal business, and the remaining ordnance had been sealed in the private vaults in their manor. After the apocalypse, Jin Yang had packed all of the remaining ordnance into Yin Yiliu’s space.

The gun he gave Zhao Qiyang was the type he often used and that also frequently appeared in shooting games. The dark silver-gray gun was being fondled admiringly by the teenager.

While driving, Zhao Sihui turned to look at her excited younger brother and asked hesitantly, “Big Bro Jin, wouldn’t it be a waste to give him a gun?”

Firearms were an effective means of combating mutated animals in the apocalypse. They could increase one’s chances of survival and were even more important than food. She thought that giving such a precious thing to her brother was too wasteful.

Zhao Qiyang stiffened his neck and clutched his precious treasure tightly in his arms. Was this woman even his own sister??

“Why is it a waste to give it to me? I’m very familiar with guns.”

“Like hell you’re familiar, how can gaming be the same as reality…”

The squabbling of the Zhao siblings gave Jin Yang a headache. “Let him play with it. He will be able to contribute once he improves his accuracy.” Jin Yang waved his hand dismissively.

Zhao Sihui didn’t say anything after she heard Jin Yang’s words. She opened the sunroof, and gusts of wind sounded in everyone’s ears, messing up the fur on Yin Yiliu’s head.

She touched her face with her small paws. Her pink nose was itchy from her own fur, and as she sneezed, her chubby little body shivered.

A big hand was placed in front of her just in time. As her vision became dark and she could no longer feel the strong wind, only then did she realize that Jin Yang was shielding her.

Zhao Qiyang was as excited as ever. Holding the heavy gun, he leaned his entire upper body out of the sunroof and shouted, startling the shadow that was following them.

He was one of the top players in the shooting game he played and boasted that he was very knowledgeable on the performance of various firearms. The magazine was fully loaded with bullets. His heart was racing as he carefully loaded the gun and heard a clear click sound.

The skin from his cheeks to temples turned to a faint color of green, and his eyes narrowed and widened. His sight was locked unto the shadow in the tall grasses by the roadside a few meters away.

The creature had been matching their speed. When Zhao Sihui slowed the car down, the black shadow slowed down as well, walking leisurely behind the car.

Most of its body was hidden behind the grass, with only glimpses of a black and furry tail from time to time.

Zhao Qiyang held his breath, squinted one of his eyes, and aligned the gun’s rear front sight with the slightly funny-looking wagging tail. After locking on the target, he pulled on the trigger.

His posture was perfect, but unfortunately, he was all show and no go. His bullet hit a tree trunk more than one meter away from his intended target.

Zhao Qiyang couldn’t believe it. He — the god-tier player in XX shooting game known for his excellent recoil control, accuracy, and positioning — missed?! He gritted his teeth and reloaded his gun.

Yin Yiliu, who had been watching him the whole time, laughed when she saw Zhao Qiyang’s aim was way off the mark. 

The creature hidden in the grass seemed to be taken aback by the gunshot. She saw a flash of something black that quickly vanished into the thick grass, thinking that this creature looked familiar.

Zhao Sihui was paying attention to her younger brother while driving. “Sit back down, you’re embarrassing,” she said, curling her lips.

The words angered the young man. His huge green tail emerged behind him, swinging around irritatedly.

“It was just a mistake!”

He took a deep breath and re-aimed the gun at the dark shadow, ready to fire as soon as it showed itself.

The black shadow that was squatting in the grass was the little pup whose mother had been tortured to death.

It gained sentience at birth. It was able to judge a person’s level of danger based on their aura, and in its eyes, Jin Yang was the most powerful of this group of humans.

It hid in the dark, watching Jin Yang and others kill its mother’s murderer, and eventually decided to follow Jin Yang’s car.

The little wolf was extremely smart. It knew that it was too young to survive in this evolved world without its mother.

Although it already had fighting experience, it was still at a loss. It had no idea how it could survive as a pup so it just subconsciously followed the SUV.

Because, besides Jin Yang, there was also a scent in the car that it liked.

However, when a familiar sound passed by its ears, leaving a deep pit in a tree not far away, the black pup immediately lay flat onto the ground, its eyes staring gloomily at the human teenager.

This sound was all too familiar. When its mother was chased by humans, this was the thing that hurt its mother.

The black pup was agitated by the gunshot. It growled in a low voice and crouched in a hunting position, like a hunter, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Zhao Qiyang remained in a shooting stance for a long time, but he never saw the dark shadow again. He lowered the gun and said, “Hey, it was scared away…”

When the teenager was speaking, he was looking down at his sister who was driving. So naturally, he was not paying attention to the roadside grass.

The lurking black pup spotted this opportunity and leaped forward. It moved quickly, like a long and swift black shadow hurling at Zhao Qiyang, with its sharp teeth targeting the young man’s fragile throat.

Yin Yiliu chirped at the sudden change. This was the pup that Qiu Qiong and his teammates wanted to capture!
