Chapter 140: Chapte 140: Vice President Xu ling and the Upcoming danger?
Aiden and Alicia finished their bath after some time, and now both of them could be seen in a bathrobe walking out of the bathroom. Aiden reached the dressing table and told his sister to sit as he used a hairdryer to dry her hair.
He has noticed the unusualness in her behavior from the time they finished their session, but he is not going to say anything to her as it is getting even harder for him as his stats increase even more, so he would wait and see if she is going to bring this topic up or not.
Alicia also helped him dry his hair, and being done with their session, Aiden was starving, so he decided to cook something as he walked toward the kitchen. Alicia, seeing her brother go, followed as well. She says she wants him to cook, but she likes it more when she also helps, and they would make a meal together.
"Aiden, what are we eating tonight?"
Aiden, hearing her question, has already decided what he is going to cook today. He has stored many food items that could last for many years to come, but the largest quantity of food is Rice because it could last up to 30 years.
He has stored canned fruits and vegetables, grains, which could last him about 6 years, and many food items that have a shelf life of forever, which also take up most of his inventory, like dried beans, lentils, legumes, popcorn, salt, sugar, raw honey, soy, corn starch, vinegar.
If these are stored carefully, they can last forever; he also has a large quantity of them.
He also has a lot of powdered milk and instant coffee, which can last more than 10 years, and he also didn't forget to add spices as, without it, his food would be bland with only salt.
So he has specially bought whole spices, knowing they can last much longer than the powdered ones as they can last as long as 5 years.
He has also stored food items that would only last up to 3 years, like dark chocolate, ramen noodles, tomato sauce, jams and jellies, dried pasta, and tea.
While these things are not something people would go for while thinking about survival for a long time, however, he likes the change of taste, something he would like, and his sister also likes noodles and especially chocolate, so he has also stored them.
But today, he is not going to make something out of these things as he is going to make steaks today because he knows that even while preserving the meat carefully, the meat would only last him about 6 to 9 months if he is lucky.
So he answered his big sis, "We are going to make steaks tonight, big sis."
It is already 8 pm now after their long session and bath, and while they are having their peaceful time inside, the situation outside is more chaotic than the day as, after the sunset, the zombies have become more aggressive, which wouldn't be a problem if this was the only thing that has changed, because now they have a strange glow in their red eyes, and their strength is almost doubled.
All around the world, hundreds of thousands of people have fallen prey to them because of this.
________
A blue-haired beauty with blue eyes and a little girl with pink hair and pink eyes could be seen walking inside the gymnasium, where the atmosphere was quite tense as noises and sounds of crying could be heard in the room.
There were a few other individuals behind her who were carrying some boxes in their hands, following behind her as they were distributing a small carton of milk to the students and even some teachers sitting on the ground with horrified looks on their faces.
They can constantly hear the loud banging on the gates. Thankfully, they look quite sturdy and don't give off the feeling they are going to break anytime soon.
But for the people who have lost looks on their faces, they don't feel much from the loud banging because they have seen much more horrifying scenes today. They have seen people whom they call friends turn into strange monsters and start killing others.
Chloe and the vice president walk up to different students and give them each two cartons of milk to drink as this is the only thing they were able to secure for them.
The vice president doesn't look that happy walking together with Chloe, as she knows this little girl is one of the executives of the club she created for Aiden, and seeing someone below her standing next to her felt strange to her.
She has always been prideful and has always thought of herself as above others, and some little girl acting as an equal to her is something that displeases her. While she is dissatisfied, she is not going to say anything, knowing that the little twerp next to her is almost as strong as she is.
'She could be even stronger than me, as I don't even know the rank of her talent; however, she is really powerful, as she kills every zombie with only a single strange attack.'
"NO! I don't want just these two milk cartons; how am I supposed to survive with just this, vice president?" A boy with an attractive appearance said this, thinking if he complained a little, he could get a little more.
His name is Mark; his family and the vice president's family have close ties in business, so they have known each other before, and he can even say there is a very high chance of having a marriage with her. Even Vice President Xu Ling knows about this, so he thinks he can get special treatment.
Chloe, handing him the supplies, has a disgusted expression on her face, seeing how this boy is acting in front of her. She was about to refuse him, but before she could say anything, she heard Xu Ling's voice.
"Do you really think just because you know me, you can get special treatment?"
Xu Ling looked at him as if he were a pest, knowing he didn't help in gathering the supply, and he still had the audacity to ask for more.
So she said with sharpness in her eyes,
"Don't give him any, just move on from him."
Chloe and everyone else who heard her words was shocked, as this was too cruel even when he asked for more, but they could see the seriousness on her face and even feel the temperature had gone a little down.
Knowing the vice president is the reason for this, they know even when they find her behavior too cruel, they have to follow it, knowing she is probably the strongest one here.
Chloe is a little shocked because she didn't think the vice president would be this decisive, because after seeing this, no one would try to act like an entitled brat here.
'Hmm, this dumbo has a little brain inside her.'
So they moved on without giving him anything at all.
Mark has an ugly expression on his face; his words have backfired. He already had some idea that Xu Ling didn't like him that much; however, he couldn't confirm it as she always acted normally in front of him.
'This clever bitch must have been acting all this time to keep the relationship between their companies from going bad, and now that the world is in chaos, this whore is showing her true colors, hahaha!'
'Do you think you can escape from me?'
He took one milk carton from the girl next to him, who had a normal expression on her face, not showing any reaction to anything going on around her, and strangely enough, the girl didn't even complain or say anything at all.
He gulped down the milk with a creepy smile on his face.
'Xu Ling, you bitch, I will use you as my personal toy sooner or later, kekeke.'
Xu Ling, along with Chloe and some others who are the only ones who helped in collecting supplies, is still distributing the items to students and even some teachers without even looking back at Mark.
No one is throwing any tantrums while accepting the two cartons of milk after witnessing what happened to Mark earlier, even while they have seen him talk to the vice president sometimes before this, so they are not delusional and try something like that in front of the new cruel vice president.
They couldn't even imagine their always kind and compassionate Vice President acting like this before but the reality is in front of them so they have to accept the truth.
Xu Ling who is doing her job is not even aware of the upcoming danger coming toward her that could probably turn her life into one of her worst nightmares.
She is a proud woman who loves power and likes to enjoy her authority over others because she has found out at a young age without any power, you don't even have control of your own destiny.
So for a woman like him who loves freedom more than anything, this could be her worst nightmare if she falls for his plans.
Like the situation inside the one the gymnasium of Aiden's school where Chloe and the Vice-President are with hundreds of other students, there are also many other places inside the school where something similar or much worse is happening.
