QT: Against My Will

156 3.15.61 – Sweet potatoes – Downfall of Humanity

Bing Shi, Qua Tao, and Wan Ke, each holding a rifle, stepped down from the car, in a thug-like manner.

Bing Shi walked towards those hummers in a fury, “Do you know who I’m?! If not, let me remind you! I’m Bing Shi, the leader of central cities!!! You dare attack my car?!? Give me twenty-five kilos of rice, and I’ll let it go, if not, I’ll call Yi Zen’s army, and let him teach you a lesson!” Raising her voice, she pointed her finger at the hummer at the front.

What surprised everyone was, when from the opposite hummer, another Bing Shi appeared. She walked calmly towards the real Bing Shi. On each of her sides, a soldier followed. “Go ahead. Call him,” she said fearlessly.

From the rumors, it was said that Bing Shi was a cool woman of few words, while the soldiers were a bunch of bloodthirsty men. From the videos, it could be seen that she was a reasonable person, the exact opposite of this spoiled babbling piece of joke.

Bing Shi, Qua Tao, and Wen Kai, took a step back, staggering, “Y-you, you are looking for death...pfft...!” The moment Bing Shi saw her twin, she couldn’t hold in her laughter.

‘Bing Shi!!!!’ Everyone facepalmed at her bad acting skills.

The fake Bing Shi raised her hand. Twenty burly men stepped down from the vehicles, wearing a military uniform, they sent out an oppressive aura. Surrounding the trio in a circle, the fake Bing Shi spoke out again, “We are on our way to a warehouse. We gave out most of our resources, and currently, we are short of food. Can you share some with us? I’ll make sure to compensate you later. Seeing you, destroying your car, how about I let my men repair it in exchange?” Today had to be their lucky day, for them to meet amateurish rogues.

As if she could hear their thoughts, Bing Shi spoke out in denial, “Y-you! It was you who destroyed my car! Don’t get too close,” she looked at her twin again and the men who got closer to her, “I’m warning you! My brother is Yi Zen, the great general...Pfft...!”

Qua Tao and Wan Ke covered their mouths, “...Ehm...” they coughed out, trying to hide their chuckles.

.....

‘That’s not convincing at all!’ each soldier suddenly became an acting class teacher. Putting on imaginary glasses, they started to criticize Bing Shi in their minds, ‘How is that fake Bing Shi going to be scared of you?! Put more feelings into your acting!’

“What a coincidence,” said the fake Bing Shi as she looked at her trimmed nails, which were oddly familiar to Bing Shi’s, “Mine too. Don’t worry, as soon as you give my soldiers some food. I won’t tell my brother that you tried to impersonate me.”

‘See?’ The men pointed at the fake Bing Shi. ‘That’s how you should be acting!’ Why did their Bing Shi decide to act like a stupid cannon fodder?! And how did the fake Bing Shi buy her bad acting?!

Compared to the theory she learned at school, Bing Shi gained much more experience in the real workplace, where she had to solve problems, which were much more complicated than those she did in school. She took this belief into acting.

Rather than performing according to a script with a prescribed person, it’s much faster to train unprepared with random people. There was an audience behind her; she had to satisfy them. Her safety was assured. The only thing at stake was her image! She didn’t want to be criticized again!

“You shameless witch,” Bing Shi cursed under her breath, “First attacking my car, and now acting like me, huh? Are you bored to death? Should I give you a job? How about becoming my personal doppelganger, hm?”

‘Yes, that’s our Bing Shi! Go! Teach her a lesson!’ The soldiers whistled. ‘Who wants a cold Bing Shi? Or a cannon fodder? The villainous Bing Shi is the way to go!’ Then, they frowned in disappointment. ‘Ptui!’ They want the beginner Bing Shi back. This ended too soon!

“...” The fake Bing Shi started to doubt this small group of people, “...” she motioned with her head for the men to attack.

Her motion didn’t go unnoticed. Wan Ke flashed behind the fake Bing Shi with a knife pointing at her neck, “If you don’t want her to die, nobody makes a move!”

Everybody panicked and looked at the real Bing Shi, who was nowhere to be seen, “Where is she?!?”

When they turned back towards Wan Ke, he disappeared with their fake Bing Shi too, “Fuck!!” No wonder that Bing Shi was so confident!

They were a group of scammers. Under a facade of strong wind, they would stop passing people, and under Bing Shi’s name, they’d demand resources. Because of Bing Shi’s notice, many survivors moved towards the south. Meeting a few kind volunteers, they believed those fake Bing Shies. Wanting to get on her good side, they shared their resources.

Noticing Qua Tao, they decided to catch him. Balls of different sizes and elements suddenly attacked Qua Tao. Creating an air shield, he flew to the air and disappeared. Not long after, their hummers disappeared too, while the fake Bing Shi appeared, her mask was removed, showing a woman in her mid-thirties.

Feeling an eerie shadow above them, the scammers looked up in terror, “Aaaaaahhh!!!!” they immediately scattered towards all directions, with a wet patch in between their legs.

And thus, a hunt began...

A new rumor arose. Never try to go against Bing Shi. No matter how much you hide, she’ll bait you out and make you pay for it.

But those rumors... Could they be called rumors, if each and every one of them was backed up with proof in the form of a video?

Bing Shi was showing people a path to follow in the future. A way how to survive this world, where everyone thought that only the strongest could survive. She was giving people hope that not everything was as bad as it seemed.

She was slowly becoming a legend.

This world’s first hero...
