Surviving the Apocalypse, Becoming Immortal Alone

Chapter 4 Not Good at Close Combat

9 min read

Wang Jixuan could easily tell that the man named "Brother Hua" was quite angry right now.

"Brother Hua" kicked the female doctor Wei Na hard on the shoulder again. She had been holding her stomach and crying out in pain, and now her shoulder bore a shoe print.

Brother Hua was spouting a stream of curses, which greatly expanded Wang Jixuan's still somewhat new vocabulary.

"Brother Hua... I was wrong, Brother Hua..." Wei Na cried out intermittently. "I really didn't mean to not go... That day... Ah! Cough, cough! Please stop hitting me..."

Brother Hua paced back and forth, his fierce face showing a hint of malice as he glared down at the woman.

"You think hiding in the middle level makes you safe? Which level's security team doesn't have friends from our Black Fire Gang?"

Brother Hua yelled, "I have a hundred ways to kill you! You filthy whore! The surgery is ready, and you stand me up? You really think I won't touch you? Your ex-boyfriend's captain has a new lover already! Tell me! Are you going to do the surgery or not?"

Wang Jixuan listened quietly. He thought this was a story of love and hatred, but he quickly realized it was something else entirely.

Wei Na trembled as she said, "Brother Hua... I really can't... I don't do surgery..."

"Go to hell!"

Brother Hua aimed a kick at Wei Na's stomach.

"You can't do surgery? Do you think I'm illiterate? Is everything in your file fake? Are you going to do it or not?"

"Brother Hua, I really... I don't want to..."

"Are you going to do it or not!"

"That's a crime... I don't want to..."

"If you don't do it, I'll kill you right here!"

The man kept kicking, and Wei Na's screams echoed in the small medical room.

The two strong men in front of Wang Jixuan stood like two doors, looking at him with unfriendly expressions.

The two men felt something was off. This weak-looking young man was far too calm, his gaze clear as he quietly observed the situation behind them.

The man on the left shook his face and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth, "Hey! Kid, aren't you afraid?"

Wang Jixuan frowned slightly and smiled, "Why push her so hard? How about I talk to her instead?"

Brother Hua turned to look at him, his narrow eyes glaring, "Who the hell are you?"

"Brother Hua, her boyfriend, as you said."

"You let us in."

"He's not... he's not my boyfriend... He has nothing to do with this, Brother Hua..."

Wei Na's face was filled with pain.

Crouched on the floor, she looked up at Wang Jixuan, shaking her head vigorously, as if to tell him not to get involved.

"Three friends from the Dao..."

Wang Jixuan smiled slightly, "If you keep hitting her, you'll only cause serious internal injuries. What do you want her to do? If you kill her, won't your goal be impossible to achieve?"

Brother Hua tilted his head, looking at Wang Jixuan.

"Kid, trying to be a hero? Come here."

He pulled out a gun from his pocket and pointed it at Wang Jixuan.

Wang Jixuan recognized this from Mu Liang's memories; it was a powerful hidden weapon.

Brother Hua sneered, "Go ahead, talk to her."

Wang Jixuan calmly walked around the two strong men and squatted down in front of Wei Na, pressing a finger against her neck.

Wei Na began to speak in a very low voice, "Run... find the security team... they really will kill... Brother Hua! He has nothing to do with this, he's my ex-boyfriend's brother..."

"What do they want you to do?" Wang Jixuan asked.

Wei Na shook her head continuously, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

"Can't you agree to them?" Wang Jixuan whispered, "They carry a lot of hostility; they seem like desperate criminals. I don't think they'll easily let you go."

Desperate criminals? Hostility?

Brother Hua squinted slightly and suddenly kicked Wang Jixuan in the back.

Wang Jixuan pressed his left hand on the ground, barely managing to stay upright, his expression showing some impatience.

Wei Na cried out in despair, "You should leave! It's not your business! They want me to do surgery to take out someone else's organs; they came from the lower city!"

"Still want to leave?"

Brother Hua bent down, pressing the gun against the back of Wang Jixuan's head.

"Doctor Wei seems quite worried about this kid?

"That's interesting. I have a buddy who loves skinny guys like him. How about I send your boyfriend over for him to play with for a few days? Wei, the top student."

Wang Jixuan replied, "Dao friend, are you slandering me for having a preference for men?"

"What is he saying?" Brother Hua didn't quite hear.

Wang Jixuan's eyes shone faintly as he calmly recited, "Especially the unbreakable and indestructible, the wheel of calamity descends to defeat the demons."

Buzz!

A faint golden light flashed around Wang Jixuan's body!

"You son of a..."

Brother Hua felt a blur before his eyes, his hand empty, and two afterimages appeared in his vision!

He was hit hard in the chest, and the scenery in his sight rapidly retreated! A heavy impact hit his back, and the sounds of various injections breaking filled the air!

Brother Hua felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation, unable to breathe, his body weakly collapsing. He opened his mouth to speak, but blood sprayed out, and his eyes quickly filled with blood.

The medical room fell silent.

Not just the two strong men were frozen in place; Wei Na was too.

What did she just see?

This skinny Mu Liang knocked Brother Hua flying with a single punch?

Wang Jixuan's left arm had dislocated from the punch he threw, hanging at a strange angle, his wrist slightly bruised, while his right hand curiously played with the gun.

He didn't look at Brother Hua anymore; he just focused on the two strong men.

Before Brother Hua lost consciousness, he shouted with his last bit of strength, "Get him..."

The two strong men immediately rushed forward.

Wang Jixuan calmly raised the gun. Although he didn't pull the trigger, the two men wisely raised their hands.

'Just a mundane gang.'

Wang Jixuan didn't pull the trigger; he just gently pushed forward, and one of the strong men's pants immediately got wet.

"Get lost! All of you!"

Wei Na shouted forcefully, as if venting her anger.

The two strong men turned and ran, their movements shaky as they opened the door, not forgetting to close it behind them as they hurried away.

Wang Jixuan shook his head and placed the gun on the nearby table.

Wei Na had already sat up against the medicine cabinet.

Her arms trembled as she coughed repeatedly, pulling out a crooked homemade cigarette from the back pocket of her hot pants. She lit it with a button-sized lighter, took a puff, and slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke.

Wang Jixuan pointed at Brother Hua, "Aren't you going to call the security team?"

"The Black Fire Gang from the lower city," Wei Na swallowed some blood, "The middle city security team has many people they’ve bribed, and they usually don't go to the lower levels. It's a lawless area down there... Sorry for dragging you into this."

"What do they want you to do?"

"Just take organs," Wei Na took a puff of smoke, "They take healthy organs from homeless people they catch, put them in a preservation box, and sell them to those who can pay."

Wang Jixuan tried to understand, puzzled, "Aren't the three quotas not supposed to circulate?"

Wei Na looked at him as if he were an idiot and replied, "Do you really not know or are you just pretending? The quotas only matter in the upper and middle cities; down here, they use precious metals and hard currency."

"I've never been," Wang Jixuan felt a bit embarrassed, "Can you help me get a certificate?"

"You’re still thinking about that mental health certificate?"

Wei Na couldn't help but laugh.

She held the cigarette, enduring the pain throughout her body, and stood up using the medicine cabinet for support. She looked at Wang Jixuan's drooping left arm, then saw him grab his left shoulder, push, and shake it, instantly putting the dislocated joint back in place.

The cracking sound made Wei Na shiver.

"How... how did you do that?" she asked, realizing.

Wang Jixuan replied seriously, "I studied free combat for a few years."

"I saw a light in your eyes earlier... Well, thank you for saving me."

Wei Na walked to the corner, skillfully pressed a few buttons on a screen supported by a square metal frame, and detailed information about Mu Liang appeared.

She checked a few boxes, selected send, and Mu Liang's profile frame changed from pink to green.

"Alright, you don't have to do the brain tissue removal surgery anymore."

Wei Na coughed a few times, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and stared at the gun next to Wang Jixuan, lost in thought.

She sniffed and quickly said, "I'll handle things here, but I can't guarantee those two from the Black Fire Gang won't come back for you. I'll have a friend contact you later to help you change your place. If investigators ask you, just say they kept hitting me, and the gun fell into my hands. Don't say anything else."

"Can I leave now?"

"Yes, go ahead. Can you leave the gun? It seems you can't hide it; I'll have my friend come and take care of it."

"Okay," Wang Jixuan simply agreed, took two steps back, and turned to open the metal door.

"Hey! Mu Liang!"

Wei Na suddenly called out.

Wang Jixuan turned around and caught the first aid kit and anti-inflammatory medicine Wei Na threw at him.

Wei Na took a deep breath, puffed out her chest. Although this movement hurt her bruises, she still tried her best to show off her hot figure in a tube top and hot pants.

"Really not going to give it a try? I have many tricks and can give you a great introduction; the atmosphere here is just too great!"

Wang Jixuan shook his head helplessly, slipped out, and closed the door behind him, heading back to his room according to his memory.

Each standard accommodation room was about nine square meters, with a hidden independent bathroom; the bathing area was communal.

Wang Jixuan locked the door and began to sweat coldly.

His current spirit... couldn't even be called a spirit; "soul" was more fitting.

The Great Strength Diamond Mantra had drained too much of his soul power, and he needed to rest now.

Wang Jixuan forced himself to the bedside, barely assuming a meditative position; he struggled to circulate the simplest energy flow in his blocked body.

The spiritual energy in the air quickly gathered around him.

Wang Jixuan felt a sense of urgency; this place was not peaceful. The powerful "monsters" ravaging the land were already a huge threat, and there were so many dangers hidden within Fortress No. 76.

He had survived under heavenly tribulations; he couldn't be killed by a mundane gang, right?

Absolutely not.

These guys had that hidden weapon called "firearms." According to Mu Liang's memories of the golden age movies, hitting vital parts of the human body with such things could kill a mortal.

Black Fire Gang, taking organs...

What kind of evil cult was this?

Wang Jixuan's room soon fell silent, a faint light penetrating through the soundproof metal, gathering and washing over his body with his breathing.

In the medical room,

Wei Na threw the second cigarette butt on the ground, took a couple of sips of hot water from her cup, and forcefully pressed the alarm under the consultation desk.

The loud alarm rang out, and dark red warning lights appeared in the corridor.

Wei Na picked up the nearby gun, disengaged the safety, and took two steps to kneel in front of the unconscious Brother Hua, who was slumped over.

She held the gun with both hands, trembling all over, trying to get close to Brother Hua's chest, holding her breath as her lips trembled.

"My mom wouldn't hit me like this when she's drunk!"

Bang!

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Flashes appeared from the gap in the door.

This gun was well-maintained, and the female doctor, splattered with hot blood on her face, successfully emptied her magazine.

Although she didn't want to say it, many readers would...

Wei Na was just an ordinary supporting character, not the main heroine.
