Apocalypse: Resources consumed by women will be returned ten thousandfold.

--Translated by likesnovel--

"Damn it!"

"What the hell is that thing?!"

Hu Lei's soul nearly left his body as he spun around toward the fire stairwell.

What appeared before him was a gigantic dog nearly the size of a tiger!

A low growl rumbled from its throat.

Its muscles bulged beneath its fur.

Its eyes glowed blood-red.

Fresh blood and fragments of bone still clung to its razor-sharp fangs.

Hu Lei's face instantly turned deathly pale.

With terror in his voice, he shouted,

"Don't come any closer!"

But the mutated husky had no intention of listening.

It lunged forward like a bolt of lightning.

Its jaws snapped shut around the arm holding Hu Lei's knife.

**Rip!**

Blood sprayed across the floor.

Then—

**Crack!**

The sound of bone breaking echoed through the hallway.

"AAAAAHHHHH!"

Hu Lei let out a bloodcurdling scream.

His entire arm was bitten off in a single bite!

The kitchen knife clattered loudly onto the floor.

Hu Lei struggled desperately.

He fought like a madman against the mutated husky.

"Don't bite me!"

"Don't bite me!"

"It hurts! It hurts so much!"

"Help! Somebody help me!!"

Inside the apartment, Tang Xuerou's face turned as white as paper.

Her petite body trembled uncontrollably.

"What kind of dog is that...? It's terrifying..."

As for Xu Mengqian, who was lying restrained on the floor—

The moment she heard Hu Lei's screams, she desperately lifted her head toward the monitor.

What she saw nearly stopped her heart.

The giant husky was tearing her fiancé apart.

Her eyes widened in horror.

All color drained from her face.

There were really monsters like this outside?

If she had been left out there moments ago...

She would already be dead.

Meanwhile, Jiang Fan silently observed the battle.

Ever since his overall physical stats had increased to **50 points**, every aspect of his body had undergone a dramatic enhancement.

To an ordinary person, the mutated husky's movements would have been impossible to follow.

It was as fast as lightning.

But Jiang Fan's senses had become several times stronger.

He could clearly see every movement the beast made.

Not only that...

It even seemed slightly slower to him.

Looks like...

I can handle this thing.

Jiang Fan picked up a hammer.

Then slowly opened the door.

Tang Xuerou was so startled she nearly cried out.

"Brother Jiang!"

But he didn't respond.

The mutated husky immediately raised its head.

Its eyes filled with caution.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

It barked fiercely at Jiang Fan.

Meanwhile, Hu Lei lay in a pool of blood.

Stretching out his remaining hand toward Jiang Fan, he cried,

"Help me!"

"Please save me!!"

Jiang Fan didn't even spare him a glance.

His gaze remained fixed solely on the mutated husky.

Then he walked straight toward it.

Seeing the human before it, the husky recalled the painful memories buried deep within its past.

It let out a low growl.

Then unconsciously took 1 step backward.

Seeing an opportunity, Hu Lei immediately began crawling away.

But when the husky noticed its prey escaping, it became furious.

"ROOOF!"

It lunged at Hu Lei once more.

Jiang Fan's eyes flashed.

Too slow.

He raised his leg and unleashed a powerful kick.

**Boom!**

His foot slammed directly into the husky's head.

The giant beast, more than **2 meters** long, was sent flying through the air.

It crashed violently into the wall.

**Crash!**

Spiderweb-like cracks spread across the tiles.

"Awooo!"

The husky cried out in pain.

It staggered back to its feet.

Its once-proud tail instantly tucked between its legs.

The fear in its eyes was unmistakable.

But Jiang Fan gave it no chance to recover.

He moved again.

Fast as lightning.

Before the husky could react, his hand had already seized the loose skin on the back of its neck.

"Get down!"

His shout thundered through the hallway.

A terrifying burst of strength exploded from his body.

The husky's 4 legs buckled instantly.

Its massive frame was forced flat against the floor without any ability to resist.

Then Jiang Fan raised his hammer.

And brought it down on the beast's head.

**Bang!**

**Bang!**

**Bang!**

The repeated impacts echoed loudly.

Blood began trickling from the husky's head.

The creature became so dizzy it was on the verge of passing out.

This human...

Was simply too powerful.

Memories surfaced from the days when humans had raised, trained, and controlled it.

The savage aggression in its heart collapsed completely.

It surrendered.

"Whine... Whine..."

The husky let out pitiful cries.

Its tail wagged rapidly.

The display of submission couldn't have been more obvious.

The crimson aura that had once surrounded its body gradually faded.

In its place appeared a soft green glow.

A symbol of friendliness.

Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

"So you've decided to submit?"

The husky didn't even dare stand up.

It remained pressed against the floor.

Gently rubbing its head against Jiang Fan's pant leg.

Its eyes lowered obediently like those of a well-behaved puppy.

At that moment, Jiang Fan finally began to understand the true extent of his own strength.

On the other side, Hu Lei clutched the stump of his severed arm.

His eyes were so wide they nearly popped out of their sockets.

Damn it...

Since when had Jiang Fan become this strong?

And what was I thinking, trying to rob him?

This wasn't a robbery at all...

I practically delivered myself to my own execution.

Behind the door, Tang Xuerou let out a long sigh of relief.

Then she cautiously peeked through the gap.

Meanwhile, Xu Mengqian remained bound on the floor.

Her beautiful eyes shifted constantly.

Deep within them, a new thought was beginning to take shape...

A dog that enormous...

Had actually been subdued in just a few moves?

Xu Mengqian's heart trembled violently.

Compared to Hu Lei...

Jiang Fan seemed infinitely more reliable.

At that moment, Jiang Fan suddenly flipped his palm.

A steak appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"Want to eat?"

The mutated husky's eyes lit up instantly.

It immediately stuck out its tongue and began licking Jiang Fan's shoes in a shameless display of flattery.

The demon race would never submit...

Unless food and shelter were involved!

Jiang Fan tossed the steak onto the floor.

The husky swallowed it in a single bite.

It was the kind of steak snack sold in supermarkets for children.

Barely the size of a palm.

But for a mutated husky as large as a beast, it disappeared instantly.

Seeing that, Jiang Fan took out another **20 steaks** and tossed them all over.

The husky looked as if it were about to cry from happiness.

It jumped around excitedly.

Ever since the blood-red mist had engulfed the world, nobody had fed it.

Did anyone know how hard life was for a husky trying to survive alone?

Jiang Fan looked into its pale eyes and said,

"From now on, your name is Bai Yan."

"Woof! Woof!"

The husky barked twice.

As if it truly understood him.

Jiang Fan nodded in satisfaction.

Then he turned his gaze toward Hu Lei.

"Your turn now, Fat Hu."

He grabbed Hu Lei by the hair and dragged him into the apartment effortlessly.

Like hauling a sack of garbage.

"AAAH!"

"It hurts! It hurts!"

"Take it easy, Jiang Fan!"

Hu Lei screamed in agony.

Yet he didn't dare resist in the slightest.

How could he possibly fight someone capable of defeating a monster like that?

After dragging Hu Lei inside, Jiang Fan shut the door.

Leaving Bai Yan outside.

A beast that had only recently been tamed still had unstable emotions.

If it suddenly went berserk again, the women inside wouldn't be able to handle it.

Jiang Fan lifted Hu Lei into the air.

Then slammed him heavily onto the floor.

**Thud!**

The impact left Hu Lei seeing stars.

He nearly lost consciousness on the spot.

Xu Mengqian trembled as she watched.

This man...

Was far too brutal.

Would he treat her the same way?

Jiang Fan paid no attention to her thoughts.

He crouched beside Hu Lei and carefully examined the injury.

The ulna and radius in his right arm had been completely crushed by the bite.

White bone fragments protruded through torn flesh.

His hand dangled limply.

Jiang Fan grinned.

"Wow... That's a serious injury."

"Fat Hu, I don't think you're going to survive."

"So how about I make some use of this piece of trash before you're gone?"

Hu Lei had just regained some awareness.

His face was filled with terror.

"Help me..."

"Please help me..."

Jiang Fan lightly patted his knee and smiled.

"Help you?"

"You two came here armed and planned to attack me."

"And now you're asking me for help?"

Hu Lei hurriedly tried to explain.

"We were only protecting ourse—"

"AAAAAHHH!"

**Crack!**

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Fan's fist smashed into his left knee.

The kneecap shattered instantly.

Hu Lei was about to scream.

But Jiang Fan clamped a hand over his mouth.

Then—

His other fist slammed into the right knee.

**Crack!**

"Mmmphhh!"

Hu Lei's eyes nearly burst from their sockets.

Veins bulged across his neck.

Both legs twisted into horrifying shapes.

Pure fear overwhelmed his mind.

Jiang Fan released his mouth and smiled gently.

"Relax."

"It's normal to feel dizzy when you're in pain."

"Come on. Take a deep breath with me."

"Breathe in..."

"And another deep breath."

"See?"

"I never wanted things to go this way."

"But you're too strong."

"And I'm a very cautious person."

"You understand me, right?"

Hu Lei was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

His mind had gone completely blank.

He could only stare at his ruined knees with lifeless eyes.

Xu Mengqian lay on the floor nearby.

Her face was completely drained of color.

Her body shook uncontrollably.

She truly regretted everything now.

What kind of monster had she provoked?

Would he break her legs too?

Even Tang Xuerou, though less frightened than the other 2, felt a chill deep in her bones.

Her fear and respect for Jiang Fan reached an entirely new level.

Afterward, Jiang Fan dragged Hu Lei out onto the balcony.

Then secured him to the metal railing.

The upper half of his body hung outside the building.

The lower half remained inside.

Amid desperate screams, Jiang Fan bound Hu Lei's hands and feet to the railing.

Layer after layer of transparent tape was wrapped around them.

Dozens of times.

There was absolutely no chance of escaping.

Seeing her fiancé in such a miserable state, Xu Mengqian trembled uncontrollably.

Her mind went blank.

Jiang Fan looked down into the blood-red mist below the building.

Even now, the creature he considered the greatest threat remained that mutated frog.

He wanted to test something.

Could its tongue actually reach all the way up to the **32nd floor**?

A short while later, Jiang Fan returned to the living room.

A faint smile rested on his face.

His gaze slowly swept across Xu Mengqian's body.

The young woman couldn't help shivering.

Then suddenly—

Jiang Fan flipped his palm.

A loaf of bread appeared in his hand.

Xu Mengqian's eyes widened instantly.

They were filled with shock and disbelief.

This...

Was this magic?
