Monster Tamer In The Apocalypse

7:35 a.m. 25 minutes left before the apocalypse started.

Chen Qiang, who drenched in sweat came at the main hall. He drags his dead-tired body to sit at the couch, followed by his sisters who also have the same state with him.

Inside the main hall, there some peoples who had arrived earlier. They also noticed the moment Chen Qiang and his sister came. They all were waiting for him as they didn't know why they should be here for.

However, no one talked to him when they saw him as he was looked so tired. He also immediately closed his eyes the moment he sat at the couch.

Li Wei looked at Chen Qiang with discontent. Although she loved and enjoyed being here. But still, Because of his words, she got forced by his father to exercise. It was not like she disliked it, she only hated being forced to do something without her will.

She wanted to say something, but couldn't open her mouth because of the atmosphere in this hall. Many of her father friends just silently sat or stood in this hall. Some of them had a slightly ragged breath, and some others have weary expression. But, they all just stay still, without letting any voice. This made her felt hard to bring herself to break this silence.

Time kept flowing, but no one ever talked. Then the rest also started to arrive, followed by Zhang Kai, some of his family, Da Hongli, and Li Hua.

7:50 a.m. 10 minutes left before the apocalypse started.

The last person arrived in this hall. That person is Zhang Mu. He came with a towel on his neck and a can of cold drink. He walked to the empty couch leisurely while wiping his sweat. After arriving, he immediately sat and takes big gulps of the cold drink on his hand.

"Ahh... huff, It feels so great."

He seems oblivious from his surrounding, where all the peoples in here had set their eyes on him.

"Hmm,"

He then noticed something wrong here. He slowly moves his eyes from the can to the surrounding.

Afterward, he instantly regretted it. He felt awkward, It was like he is a monkey or something to get all of their eyes directed at him.

"It, it was really felt great to work out sometime, I get too carried away. Ahaha."

He said awkwardly. Fortunately, soon their attention left him. He sighed and immediately started looking to find his wife.

Li Wei saw all the peoples here had gathered, she immediately said, "Now, what else? After arriving, he immediately sat and takes big gulps of the cold drink on his hand.

She said while ridiculing him. She was felt impatient already. The way Chen Qiang and all the peoples here acted clearly pissed her. It was like they had a very serious matter in here to discuss. Even her father, he also just stays silent in this whole time, gazing at Chen Qiang as he was waiting for him to speak.

It is not like they truly have a very serious matter in here right? And even if they had, why she had to included as well!!

Not only he made her got forced by her father, but she also didn't even get the time to bath and change her clothes. She was feeling uncomfortable for some time already.

Chen Qiang, who leaned his back at the sofa calmly opened his eyes. He casually glanced at the impatient Li Wei and immediately ignored her. Then He straightened his body and his tranquil expression gradually become serious.

He looked at all the peoples here. Then he said, "I think all of you wondering why I told you to exercise and gather here." Giving no chance for others to answer, he continued, "I had said to some of you that in the future there would be a huge virus disaster. If you now still think that I only used it as a reason to convince some of you to follow me or so that I could spend all the asset to succumbing in my fantasy, then you take too lightly of me."

No one said anything, even Li Wei started to baffle from his words. She didn't know this Chen Qiang would be this... crazy. She should have known from the moment she comes here. The tall wall she used to view the scenery, the cube house she loved so much, also the towering metal fence around. But all this time she regarded all of these as his odd interest.

Some people who didn't know this get baffling while the rest who know that from a long time ago had complicated expression.

His sisters, Zhang Kai, Zhang Mu, Da Hongli, and the mercenaries who followed him have some sort expressions on their face.

The mercenary who followed him silently looked at him. Maybe if this was three years ago, they would have despising expression already. Like how they meet with him for the first time. But now, they all had respected him. His strength, his battle powers, his technique, and his marksmanship couldn't let them look down on him.

However, this man until now still believed something like this. That is why they had that expression on their face.

Truly, the man they respected had a unique imagination.

Da Hongli didn't know what to say. He already didn't bother regarding this matter. He would just think of it as jokes sometimes. Moreover, when his sister in law, Lan Shuang passed away, he had started to more cherished living like this. Enjoying the calm life with his family and friends. He feels this is really the bliss.

Zhang Kai smiled while looking at Chen Qiang. If he was still in his past self, he would certainly become uncomfortable and want to slap him well to pull him to reality. Because of his benefactor, he would feel the burden on him if he let Chen Qiang be like this. Wasting his time, wasting his father inheritance, and even wasting his own life to something nonsensical matter.

But now, he didn't have such intent. Seeing how they live in these years, he felt maybe this was the best for them. Chen Qing and Chen Xi would always look happy when they spent time together with their brother. They also became livelier, especially Chen Qing as it was so contrast compared with her at the three years ago. So he thought that his benefactor or also their father would think the same way if he was in his position now.

The death of his wife gave him a huge impact. He regretted that he could only have little amount of time together with her. Even since he was still her boyfriend, he was working like no end. He really treated her unfair all this time.

Her sudden death was akin like someone tore him apart, forever losing the part of him.

Fortunately, since three years ago or exactly since Chen Qiang began his crazy act, he could have more time with her. He also would always tell him to often going out with his wife. Found he didn't have many works to do, of course he would often spend his time in leisure with his wife. That act quite lessened his regret.

He began seeing with different perspective since then. He has no longer had passion in work, and now he just wants to slowly enjoy life.

'Fortunately my brother believed something like this or else I would still in my boring life. Hufufu'

Chen Xi looked at Chen Qiang with that thought. Living like this was far more exciting than the life she had some years ago. Rather than answered many problems she had to learn first, blowing something with the cool firearm was the best.

Chen Xi also looked at Chen Qiang from his side. However, her gaze was slightly unfocused. The last words of her brother keep playing in her mind.

'You take too lightly of me.'

'you take too lightly of me.'

'you take too lightly of me.'

....

Although she always followed what her brother said to her and she also wanted to believe her brother's words regarding this. But her mind keeps denying it.

Nevertheless, she didn't take this matter important. She felt satisfied in living like this. She also didn't care whatever the reason anyway. But, for her doubted her brother words... It was akin she assumed her brother words as a lie. She regarded that he was lying to her...

Ly-ing to her...

'My brother would never lie to me! He didn't even have the reason to do that. How could I be like this.'

She felt that she was wronging her dear brother.

It seems that Chen Qiang was quite successful to make his sisters regard him as their most important person and always trust him.

While Chen Qing was having complicated thought, Chen Qiang continued his words, "The thing I said, I really mean it. Soon, it will happen. You should be prepared because the world you used to know will no longer the-"

"Wait! What a virus disaster? What do you talking about? Do you-"

Li Wei cut Chen Qiang words and immediately bombarded him with rapid questions.

"Don't argue with me now! Just listen first"

Chen Qiang immediately cut her back. His gaze, deep voice and aura made her timid.

"If you feel something on your body, don't resist it or you will feel the pain. Just let it flow in your body."

2 minutes left.

"Don't be afraid and panic, you all will be okay."

He then ignored all of the staring eyes on him and looked at both his sister.

"Trust me, there will nothing wrong. You have me here."

He smiled and then holding their hand.

"Ah yeah, you better not to stand now."

Some of the mercenary who stood in this hall immediately sit at the near-empty couch.
