Chapter 28: Double the Happiness, Post a Selfie

“Not bad. You two eat this.”

Tang Ze gave the remaining chicken legs and wings to Sun Ting and An Bai. He wanted Ye Qingyi to understand that lowering her head and acting coy wouldn’t put her above them. Without making a substantial contribution, she would always eat their leftovers.

Listening to the sounds of them chewing on the chicken, Ye Qingyi felt a pang of longing, but this was her reality now.

“You can still talk to your fiancé, but under my supervision.”

Tang Ze stroked Ye Qingyi’s hair and smiled faintly.

Ye Qingyi understood the implications of “supervision,” but at least she could still see her fiancé. “Thank you.”

“Of course, you can also secretly ask your fiancé for help, ask him to save you.”

“No, I promise I won’t.”

Ye Qingyi shook her head vigorously, but the thought did cross her mind.

Tang Ze lowered his head slightly, lifting her chin with his index finger, his thumb brushing against her soft lips. “It’s alright. I’ll chop off your fiancé’s head, make a bowl out of his skull, and have you eat from it every day. It’ll bring you closer.”

Ye Qingyi’s mind conjured up the gruesome image. Even Sun Ting and An Bai were frightened.

Suddenly, Tang Ze burst into laughter. “Just kidding! Look how scared you are. I won’t tease you anymore.”

Sun Ting and An Bai looked at him resentfully, but Ye Qingyi felt he wasn’t joking. She immediately said, “I won’t contact him, I’m all yours.”

Perhaps this was the only way to protect her fiancé’s family.

“I said I was kidding. I’m not trying to break up your loving relationship. You’re making me look like the bad guy.”

Could there be anyone worse than him? Ye Qingyi thought, but she didn’t say it aloud. After a few days, she had learned a few important things:

Don’t question Tang Ze’s words, don’t ask for explanations, and certainly don’t challenge him.

Sometimes, questions were allowed, but they had to be posed in a pleasing, coquettish manner.

“Ting Ting, give her back her phone.”

Sun Ting handed Ye Qingyi her phone. Ye Qingyi was confused. Wasn’t this his leverage against her?

Sun Ting said sheepishly, “I impersonated you this morning, sorry about that.”

“Impersonated me?”

“Just wanted to know where your fiancé lives. Don’t think too much about it.”

Ye Qingyi’s face turned pale.

Tang Ze glared at Sun Ting. “Tsk, stop scaring her.”

He pulled Ye Qingyi onto his lap.

“If I have the chance to go to Yunhai City, I’ll let you see him.”

Ye Qingyi was about to refuse, but she quickly changed her mind and said obediently, “But I’m Master’s kitten now, wouldn’t that be inappropriate?”

“What’s inappropriate about it? Don’t you want to see him?”

Ye Qingyi didn’t dare to say no. “I do.”

“If your fiancé finds out about us, will he be angry and hit you?”

Hearing his teasing tone, Ye Qingyi said softly, “My fiancé won’t find out.”

“You’re getting better and better. Just get some rest today.”

Ye Qingyi sat obediently beside him and was even rewarded with a bag of cucumber-flavored Lay’s potato chips.

Tang Ze pulled An Bai closer and whispered, “I’m planning to leave this complex in a few days.”

The three women looked up at him.

Leave? Would he take them with him?

“Of course I’ll take you with me. Who else would I… have fun with?”

Hearing this, the three women simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. Without Tang Ze’s protection, they would be vulnerable to being robbed, abused, or traded.

“But it’s getting colder, and we can’t touch the rain or snow. If it gets inside our clothes, we’ll die.”

Sun Ting voiced her concerns. Going outside was risky. Although there were only three of them here, it was still safer than venturing out.

But Sun Ting didn’t know Tang Ze’s purpose. Three were too few, a mere drop in the bucket.

Besides, there was almost no one left in this complex to “play” with.

“I’ve prepared some things these past few days that can protect us from the rain and snow. Of course, I won’t force you. You can choose to stay. I’m a reasonable man.”

Tang Ze gave a gentle smile.

But to the three women, his smile wasn’t gentle at all. It was the smile of a predator.

Without hesitation, all three nodded.

Tang Ze took out his phone and pointed the camera at himself. “Bai, act cute. Let’s take a selfie.”

An Bai obediently closed her eyes and stuck out her tongue, looking adorable.

Click.

In the photo, Tang Ze was smiling, and An Bai’s beautiful face had a slight blush, looking both cute and shy, her shoulder nestled against his.

Tang Ze posted it to his WeChat Moments with the caption:

“She’s so obedient.”

Most of his WeChat contacts were his former bosses, who often bossed him around. He had no other intention than to show off, and he tagged each of them in the post.

As expected, the post blew up.

“Tang Ze, you’re doing well for yourself! Such a beautiful woman with you. I have some supplies, want some?”

“Damn, Tang Ze, you’re showing off! Send the beauty over here quickly.”

“Xiao Tang, as your former boss, let me tell you, you can’t afford this kind of luxury.”

“Tang Ze, where do you live? I’m coming to find you! This is making me hot, that slut is top-tier!”

Various envious and jealous comments flooded the post, all with a condescending tone, which made Tang Ze smile even wider.

“Ting Ting, come here, let’s take a picture together, the three of us.”

Tang Ze beckoned.

Sun Ting obediently sat beside him. The two women kissed Tang Ze on his cheeks. The scene was incredibly alluring, especially since most women hadn’t taken care of themselves in days and couldn’t compare to their beauty.

This time, Tang Ze deliberately lowered the camera angle, revealing the top of their ample breasts, the black lace barely concealing them, a tantalizing sight.

He added the caption:

“Double the happiness.”

As expected, this post caused an even bigger stir.

“Xiao Tang, listen to your uncle’s advice, if you can’t handle it, give her to me. I have plenty of supplies.”

“Tang Ze, where the f*ck did you find these women?!”

“Brother Tang, I have some supplies here, want to share?”

“Mr. Tang, we’re living worse than dogs, while you’re living the high life. Give us some pointers!”

Looking at these hostile replies, Tang Ze remained calm. He stood up, and Ye Qingyi, thinking he would call her over for a selfie, also stood up, but Tang Ze walked away.

This left Ye Qingyi feeling like a clown. Wasn’t she even worthy of being in a selfie, of being his bragging capital?

Chapter 27: Yielding

“Yiyi, get some rest. I’m going to deal with her for talking nonsense.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

Listening to the playful banter on the phone, Ye Qingyi was envious. She should have been there with them.

Ending the call, she had to face Tang Ze.

“So, that’s your future sister-in-law?”

Sun Ting took the phone, opened the photos, and showed Tang Ze a picture.

Tang Ze nodded. “Not a bad option.”

“What are you going to do?!”

Ye Qingyi snapped.

Tang Ze was annoyed by her tone.

Later that afternoon.

“Eat something.”

An Bai secretly brought leftovers to Ye Qingyi.

Looking at An Bai, Ye Qingyi lowered her guard slightly and whispered a thank you.

“Sister, don’t provoke Master anymore.”

Ye Qingyi ate quickly. She contemplated death, but fear held her back.

“An Bai, why are you so obedient?”

Ye Qingyi asked. Why didn’t they resist?

An Bai paused and whispered, “We have food and water, all thanks to Master. Without him, we’d be corpses. There are four or five more dead women outside.”

Ye Qingyi shuddered, remembering the brutally violated corpses on the lawn. What had happened to the world?

“If it was fear at first, now it’s gratitude.”

“Gratitude?”

Ye Qingyi was surprised.

“Yes. You see what those men are like. Did any captured woman have a good ending? We’re safe under Master’s protection. What we give is nothing compared to what we receive.”

Ye Qingyi realized An Bai had a point.

Sun Ting emerged from the bedroom. Ye Qingyi quickly put down her plate, afraid Sun Ting would tell Tang Ze.

Sun Ting said indifferently, “Eat. Don’t starve.”

An Bai nodded and whispered, “Sister Ting isn’t bad, it’s just that you’re too stubborn.”

Not bad? She’s the one behind all this!

“Bai, don’t say that. I’m a bad woman.”

Sun Ting pursed her lips. Being good got you nowhere in this world.

An Bai knew Sun Ting was just venting.

“Thank you, I’m full.”

Ye Qingyi wiped her mouth, feeling sleepy.

Sun Ting reminded her, “If you want to die, just beg. Master will oblige. But if you want to live, drop the vice president act, the ‘CEO’s daughter-in-law’ act. Don’t drag Bai and me down!”

Everyone wanted to live.

Silence filled the room.

An Bai poured Ye Qingyi some warm water. Ye Qingyi took it, but didn’t drink. She whispered, “Could I have a nice dress?”

Sun Ting and An Bai exchanged glances. This was different. Survival instincts had kicked in.

Tang Ze had taken a nap. He stood by the window, looking at the bodies covering the central green area. Perhaps due to the lower temperature, the stench had lessened.

He couldn’t stay in this environment any longer.

Leaving the bedroom, he noticed Ye Qingyi was quiet and obedient. He took out some food as a reward.

Seeing a whole fried chicken leg, Ye Qingyi almost cried. Such junk food, something she wouldn’t have looked at twice before, was now something she had to discard her dignity for.

She devoured it without hesitation. Wasn’t survival in the apocalypse all about filling your stomach?

“Any other requests?”

Tang Ze asked calmly.

This was a tricky question, but Ye Qingyi, with her high education, wouldn’t make any demands. She would obey unconditionally, even if he asked her to jump out the window.

“I have no requests, only to bring Master endless pleasure.”

Sun Ting and An Bai exchanged glances again. This woman knew how to please a man.

However, Tang Ze didn’t trust Ye Qingyi, nor did he truly trust Sun Ting and An Bai.

The law of the apocalypse: trust no one but yourself.

Chapter 26: Get Some Rest

No matter what, she could only obey him now. Otherwise, not only would she die, but those photos would also be released, and her fiancé’s family would be in danger.

After waking up, Tang Ze brushed his teeth. The progress in the past two days had been quite fast, reaching 16%.

At this rate, 3% per day, he could unlock Apocalypse Gift Pack 2.0 in about a month.

If he had three more “supplies,” the time could be halved.

Unfortunately, so far, these three were already top-tier. Having tasted the finest abalone, he couldn’t bring himself to settle for less.

Stepping onto the balcony, Tang Ze felt a chilly breeze. This weather was unusual for southern China in September. Fortunately, there was air conditioning inside.

He opened his phone. The weather app no longer displayed the temperature, but Tang Ze estimated it was only around 10 degrees Celsius outside. The weather had changed drastically.

Back in the living room, Tang Ze looked at Ye Qingyi, who instinctively shuffled back, fear evident in her eyes.

Tang Ze ignored her and patted An Bai and Sun Ting’s heads, ready to enjoy his breakfast.

Breakfast was usually the most nutritious meal of the day, but due to Ye Qingyi’s behavior, she would be eating the leftovers, as he had said.

When the chicken soup with mushrooms appeared, Ye Qingyi was stunned. They actually had such food? How was that possible?

And… were those sweet and sour pork ribs?

And even a bowl of black chicken rice noodles?

Sun Ting and An Bai, their stomachs rumbling, immediately started eating. The living room was filled with the aroma of chicken soup. Ye Qingyi’s mouth watered, and she couldn’t help but swallow, but she could only watch.

Tang Ze’s breakfast wasn’t as extravagant, just two meat buns and some porridge. He checked the complex group chat for any news.

After about ten minutes, the two women were full, and the leftovers were given to Ye Qingyi.

Only bones remained of the sweet and sour pork ribs. The black chicken rice noodles were reduced to half a bowl of soup and bones. The same was true for the chicken soup.

“Eat. Don’t just stare.”

Sun Ting said indifferently.

Ye Qingyi looked at the leftovers. She had never eaten like this in her life. But the rich aroma of chicken soup was irresistible. I need to eat to have the strength to escape.

With this self-consolation, she immediately started drinking the soup, feeling a warmth spread through her stomach. It was even more delicious than anything she had had at a Michelin-starred restaurant.

“Give her some rice.”

Tang Ze said casually. You two ate all the meat, how can she fill her stomach with just soup and bones? She needs energy to… endure.

An Bai responded and quickly scooped a large spoonful of rice. Ye Qingyi looked at the rice, feeling like she hadn’t seen it in years. With the water shortage, no one had water to cook rice; they just ate it raw to fill their stomachs.

“Eat quickly.”

An Bai reminded her. Don’t anger Tang Ze and end up with nothing to eat.

Ye Qingyi looked at An Bai gratefully. With the rice added to the chicken soup, it was almost like chicken and rice stew.

The sound of Ye Qingyi eating filled the living room. She didn’t even let the leftover bones go to waste, chewing them thoroughly before swallowing.

Burp.

Ye Qingyi couldn’t help but burp, feeling a sense of shame.

But she hadn’t felt this full in a long time. If there was another bowl, she could eat it too.

Suddenly, a familiar ringtone sounded.

“Your fiancé is really concerned about you.”

Sun Ting picked up the phone and smiled. Ye Qingyi didn’t try to snatch it back, knowing it would only anger them and lead to more pain.

“Yiyi, my father’s friend said there will be a sharp drop in temperature and a blizzard in a few days. You need to keep warm.”

“A temperature drop?”

Ye Qingyi hadn’t felt anything.

“Yes, around -20°C during the day and -40°C at night in the south. It’ll be even colder in the north. Don’t touch the snow, it’s just like the rain.”

Tang Ze frowned upon hearing this. He had thought the rain would stop, but he hadn’t expected a temperature drop. It seemed he would be stuck here.

No, he had to find a chance to go out and find more supplies. That was the top priority.

“Okay, I understand. I’ll keep warm, don’t worry.”

“Why are you crying again?”

Jiang Zihui saw his fiancée crying, and he was instantly worried.

“It’s nothing, just feeling a bit emotional.”

“Sigh, if you hadn’t gone to your sister’s place for dinner that night, you’d be with me now.”

Jiang Zihui sighed.

Ye Qingyi felt the same way. If she had left, she wouldn’t have encountered this devil.

“Sister-in-law, what are you doing?”

A youthful voice suddenly came from the phone, making Tang Ze pause. Ye Qingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The girl on the screen was about seventeen or eighteen, her pretty face radiating youth and vitality, with the innocence and spirit of youth. She wore a wool sweater, revealing her slightly sexy collarbone, and a Hermès summer necklace adorned her neck.

“Nana, I’m resting.”

Jiang Nana was taken aback. “Sister-in-law, you should rest well. Everything will be alright.”

“Okay, I will. Don’t worry.”

Ye Qingyi’s face flushed. How had she become like this, even using her dead brother-in-law as an excuse?

Jiang Nana didn’t understand but said encouragingly, “Sister-in-law, you must stay safe! My brother misses you so much, he even secretly looks at your photos.”

“You little brat, what are you saying?”

Jiang Zihui was embarrassed, and Ye Qingyi felt even more ashamed, feeling like she had betrayed her fiancé and was no longer worthy of him.

Chapter 25: Sweet Fiancés

Tang Ze felt no pity. He placed his hands on her smooth, slender legs. “Look at me.”

Seeing no reaction from Ye Qingyi, he said calmly, “I don’t like to repeat myself.”

Her tear-reddened eyes slowly met his. Tang Ze saw a lingering defiance and hatred deep within them.

Suddenly, a familiar ringtone sounded, a video call.

Sun Ting glanced at Ye Qingyi’s phone and smiled. “It’s your fiancé.”

These words made Ye Qingyi panic. She quickly said, “Don’t answer!”

“But how can we not? Your fiancé is worried about your safety. I’ll answer for you. You can talk to him yourself.”

Sun Ting answered the call and handed the phone to Ye Qingyi, who had no time to hang up. Her fiancé’s face appeared on the screen.

Jiang Zihui’s worried voice immediately came from the phone. “Yiyi, why didn’t you reply to my messages? I thought something had happened to you! I was so worried! Why are you crying? What happened?”

Hearing her fiancé’s concerned voice, Ye Qingyi felt a wave of unease.

“Nothing, I’m just scared.”

Ye Qingyi held back her tears and forced a smile, assuring her fiancé that she was fine.

Jiang Zihui’s heart ached. As a man, he couldn’t protect his fiancée. “I’m sorry. I hate myself for being so useless, unable to bring you here, leaving you scared all day.”

Ye Qingyi’s expression remained flawless. She said gently, “Silly, don’t blame yourself. We’ll be fine.”

“Okay, don’t cry.”

“I’m not crying anymore.”

Suddenly, Jiang Zihui noticed that his fiancée looked particularly beautiful tonight. “Yiyi, why are you wearing makeup?”

“Because I didn’t reply to your messages, I was afraid you’d be angry. So I put on some makeup, so you could see a beautiful me.”

A faint smile appeared on Tang Ze’s lips. This woman, when lying to her man, her IQ goes through the roof.

“You’re the most beautiful woman in the world.”

Sun Ting scoffed and whispered to An Bai, “Classic scumbag line.”

“Yeah, I’ve heard it before too.”

Jiang Zihui’s words filled Ye Qingyi with shame. She had betrayed the man she loved.

“Zi Hui, you should rest. I’m going to rest too.”

Ye Qingyi was afraid of making any strange noises that would arouse her fiancé’s suspicion, so she didn’t want to say more.

Jiang Zihui blew a kiss at the screen, making the others scoff.

Tang Ze smiled faintly. “Such a loving couple, so enviable. I like your body very much, but I don’t like your eyes.”

“I don’t need you to like me.”

Ye Qingyi said coldly.

Tang Ze chuckled. “You seem to be more afraid of them than of me. Why is that?”

Ye Qingyi didn’t answer, her face pale with pain.

Tang Ze reached out, gripped her chin, and said calmly, “They might threaten to tell your fiancé about your situation, but I won’t. I’ll just find your fiancé and kill his whole family. You’ve seen what I’m capable of.”

“You’re a monster!”

Ye Qingyi grabbed Tang Ze’s clothes and yelled. She was terrified.

“When did I ever say I was human? I’m a devil among devils, and a rather lecherous one at that.”

Ye Qingyi couldn’t imagine what would happen if her fiancé found out. He would even kill Zihui’s whole family. Remembering his ruthless killing spree, she didn’t doubt his words.

“From now on, you’ll eat their leftovers. If you behave, you might get the same treatment as them. Now, do you understand what you need to do?”

The next day, Ye Qingyi woke up groggily, her first thought being whether she was dead. Seeing her surroundings, she realized she wasn’t dead, but still in hell. Remembering the humiliation from last night, she wanted to cry, but found she couldn’t.

Her sister and brother-in-law were brutally murdered at home, and she had ended up like this. Looking at the door not far away, she thought of escaping.

But as soon as she moved, a sharp pain shot through her abdomen. I should have given it to my fiancé earlier.

Enduring the pain, she slowly moved, the clinking of the chains waking the two women sleeping beside her.

Sun Ting yawned and said indifferently, “Seems like you haven’t learned your lesson.”

Ye Qingyi had become a vice president, although with her fiancé’s help, she was still intelligent.

In this situation, her only option was to endure and wait for an opportunity. She would never submit…

“No, I’m just a little hungry.”

Ye Qingyi quickly explained.

An Bai chuckled. “It’s not time to eat yet. Master hasn’t woken up.”

Ye Qingyi noticed that An Bai and Sun Ting were different. Sun Ting was Tang Ze’s most loyal follower, but An Bai seemed different, as if she, like Ye Qingyi, was also being oppressed.

Perhaps she could find a breakthrough here.

Chapter 24: Worthy of the Title, Chief Instructor

Sitting on the sofa, Tang Ze heard Ye Qingyi’s screams from the bathroom, but his expression remained unchanged. He had been quite happy tonight, thinking he had found a treasure, but…

Did she think this was a charity? How could she still be so naive at a time like this?

In the bathroom, Sun Ting had finally calmed down. An Bai squatted on the floor, stunned, unable to believe she had hurt a stranger. Her eyes were filled with anxiety and panic, but also a hint of the thrill that came after venting her frustrations.

Sun Ting looked at An Bai’s expression and sighed. We’ve even moved corpses, what’s there to be afraid of? There’s no need to pity this woman, she shouldn’t expect everyone to pamper her.

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.

Several WeChat notifications sounded. Sun Ting looked at the phone on the side. It seemed to be this woman’s.

Ye Qingyi watched as Sun Ting picked up her phone and, despite the pain, shouted, “Give it back!”

Sun Ting gave Ye Qingyi a disdainful look and grabbed her hand. Ye Qingyi immediately struggled, refusing to let Sun Ting unlock the phone with her fingerprint.

“Bai, Bai! An Bai!”

Sun Ting called out several times before An Bai snapped out of her daze.

“Stop spacing out, hold her down.”

“Oh, okay.”

An Bai gave Ye Qingyi an apologetic look and held her down, allowing Sun Ting to unlock the phone.

Sun Ting opened WeChat, a slight smile appearing on her lips.

“Such an intimate note, ‘Future Husband Mr. Zihui’.”

“Give it back! Give me back my phone!”

Even though she was being held down by An Bai and her whole body ached, Ye Qingyi still reached out to grab her phone.

However, Sun Ting’s foot stepped directly onto the back of Ye Qingyi’s hand.

“Ah!”

The pain shot through Ye Qingyi. She had never suffered like this before; she had always been pampered and protected.

Sun Ting chuckled. “Your future husband, Mr. Zihui, seems very anxious. He’s asking how you are, why you’re not replying. What should I tell him?”

Ye Qingyi had endured the beating without crying, but hearing this threat, her suppressed tears finally flowed.

She didn’t dare tell her fiancé that things had gone bad here, that her sister and brother-in-law were dead, and that she had been captured.

She wanted to remain pure in her fiancé’s heart, even if it meant dying. She wanted him to remember her as his pure fiancée, not someone who had been defiled.

Seeing Ye Qingyi’s reaction, Sun Ting’s eyes lit up. She had found leverage.

Tang Ze sat on the sofa, watching TV. Only internet TV still worked; the local channels were gone.

The bathroom door opened, and Tang Ze turned to look. Ye Qingyi, freshly showered, looked stunning, though her eyes were a bit vacant.

“Master, I’ll take her to get dressed, it won’t take long.”

Tang Ze rested his chin on his hand and absentmindedly hummed in agreement. Although Ye Qingyi was now trembling with fear, he still didn’t feel much for her.

Twenty minutes later, Ye Qingyi was finally brought out.

Her previously dry and messy hair was now smooth and fragrant. Light makeup enhanced her beautiful features. A pure white dress accentuated her curvy figure, a black belt around her waist highlighting her slenderness.

“Address him properly.”

Sun Ting patted Ye Qingyi’s bottom as a reminder.

Ye Qingyi dug her nails into her palms, biting her lip.

Seeing her silence, Sun Ting’s anger flared. She whispered something in Ye Qingyi’s ear.

Ye Qingyi’s body trembled, and she slowly uttered, “Master…”

Tang Ze gave Sun Ting an approving look. Your methods are impressive.

“Come here.”

Tang Ze commanded, his tone brooking no argument..

Ye Qingyi walked over to Tang Ze but kept her head down, avoiding his gaze.

In the past, a delivery guy and a vice president of an advertising company would never have crossed paths. Now, not only had their paths crossed…

“Sit here.”

Tang Ze patted his leg and said casually.

Ye Qingyi bit her lip so hard it turned white.

Chapter 23: Don’t Mistake Me for a Hero

Tang Ze leaned against the wall, sipping water, and said jokingly, “I was taking a walk outside and picked her up. My luck is unstoppable.”

Sun Ting and An Bai walked over to Ye Qingyi and looked her over. Ye Qingyi, feeling a bit intimidated by their strange behavior, leaned back slightly.

She thanked him again. “Thank you for saving me.”

Tang Ze replied helplessly, “You already said that.”

Ye Qingyi felt a bit awkward, then said, mustering her courage, “You’re so capable, is there a way to leave this place?”

“I’m not Superman, I can’t fly out of here.”

Tang Ze spread his hands. This woman was quite demanding.

He said directly, “Take her to take a shower first.”

“You can shower here?”

Ye Qingyi was in disbelief. No wonder they smelled so good.

Sun Ting giggled. “Of course. If we don’t shower, we’ll stink, and Master will dislike us.”

She pushed Ye Qingyi towards the bathroom. Ye Qingyi quickly said, “I can do it myself.”

“We’ll help you, and tell you about our rules.”

Before Ye Qingyi could say anything more, she was pushed inside by the two women. Tang Ze didn’t interfere; Sun Ting was a capable “instructor” with her own methods.

Inside the bathroom, An Bai turned on the hot water. Steam filled the room, and three alluring bodies were faintly visible through the mist, a sight that could make anyone’s blood boil.

“Sister, you have a great figure.”

Sun Ting lathered shower gel onto Ye Qingyi’s body.

An Bai giggled shyly. “Yes, our workload will be lighter now.”

Ye Qingyi was confused. She quickly said, “I can do it myself.”

Sun Ting clicked her tongue. “From now on, we’re a team. We have to take care of each other to survive in this apocalypse.”

“Yes, yes, we’re a team.”

An Bai giggled secretly.

Ye Qingyi was even more confused. “What do you mean, we’re a team?”

“We’re all Master’s kittens.”

Sun Ting tapped Ye Qingyi’s forehead. She’s so beautiful, but even slower than Bai.

Ye Qingyi stepped back, her expression changing. “I’m not a kitten, and I won’t be one!”

An Bai and Sun Ting were taken aback, as if seeing their past selves.

“Sister, don’t get excited. It’s just a formality. Our main task is to make Master happy.”

Sun Ting explained.

However, Ye Qingyi’s tone immediately changed. “I’m not anyone’s slave. I don’t need to make anyone happy, and I won’t join you. Move aside, I’m leaving.”

She reached for her tattered dress.

An Bai and Sun Ting realized this was bad. She was courting death.

Outside, Tang Ze suddenly saw the bathroom door open. He thought they had finished showering so quickly, but he saw a furious Ye Qingyi storming out, her eyes filled with disgust.

What was going on?

He stepped forward and blocked her path.

“Move aside, I’m leaving! You’re just like them, I misjudged you!”

Tang Ze: “????????”

“Miss, what do you mean you misjudged me? What did you take me for? A hero?”

Tang Ze was amused. This woman had quite the imagination.

Ye Qingyi had indeed seen him that way, but not anymore. She didn’t want to say more and tried to go around him.

Tang Ze sighed. If it weren’t for his severe lack of “supplies,” he would have just shot her.

He grabbed her wet hair.

“Ah! Let go of me, you despicable villain!”

Tang Ze tightened his grip and pulled her hair down. “I paid ten cases of mineral water for you, and you’re telling me you want to leave?”

“I’m not your merchandise, and you won’t get your way!”

Ye Qingyi yelled, enduring the pain.

Tang Ze’s expression turned icy. He took out his pistol and pointed it at her forehead. Did she really think he wouldn’t use this top-quality supply?

Seeing his cold eyes, Ye Qingyi knew she had angered a devil. Death would be better than being defiled. Zihui would only know that I disappeared…

“No!”

At the critical moment, An Bai, coming out of the bathroom, cried out instinctively.

Tang Ze looked at An Bai, as if to say, Do you want to die for her? I can fulfill your wish.

An Bai was so scared that she collapsed on the floor. Sun Ting, more composed, immediately explained, “Bai didn’t mean that. She just thinks this sister still has a chance. We were resistant at first too.”

Tang Ze narrowed his eyes.

Sun Ting continued, “Killing her now would be too easy. She doesn’t understand gratitude.”

Tang Ze thought her words made sense. Killing her with a single shot would indeed be too merciful.

But even if he didn’t kill her, he had to let her know that he, Tang Ze, wasn’t a saint.

His fist slammed into Ye Qingyi’s soft abdomen. Although he only used a fraction of his strength, it wasn’t something a woman could easily withstand.

Ye Qingyi’s eyes widened. She clutched her stomach, her knees buckling as she fell to the ground, the intense pain making her curl up, cold sweat pouring out.

“Fine, I’ll give you a few days. If you continue to make trouble, not only will she die, but you two will also be punished.”

Sun Ting wanted to slap herself. How had she gotten herself involved?

This woman is going to get us all killed! Putting on airs like that!

“Take her inside and clean her up.”

Tang Ze lit a cigarette. People talked about repaying kindness with their bodies, but this woman was calling him despicable.

Sun Ting and the frightened An Bai dragged Ye Qingyi back into the bathroom.

Furious, Sun Ting turned the showerhead on Ye Qingyi. Ye Qingyi, lying on the floor, was so pale from the pain that she looked like a sheet of paper, unable to even speak.

“We tried to be nice to you, but you’re getting us all punished.”

Thinking about that feeling, both Sun Ting and An Bai paled. They never wanted to experience that terrifying punishment again.

The more Sun Ting thought about it, the more afraid she became. She raised her foot and stepped on Ye Qingyi’s body. Ye Qingyi could only moan in pain, curling up further.

“Bai, what are you waiting for? You saved her, and she’s harming us both.”

An Bai hesitated, her lips trembling. “I don’t dare.”

“Bai, do you know why your ex-boyfriend could control you? Because you’re weak!”

“I’m not weak, I just…”

An Bai shook her head.

Sun Ting gripped An Bai’s chin and hissed, “Bai, we’re in this together.”

“I know.”

“Then kick her!”

An Bai looked down at the suffering Ye Qingyi, her face filled with conflict, but she slowly raised her leg and, closing her eyes, stepped down.

“Ah!”

Ye Qingyi screamed in agony. After all, An Bai had closed her eyes, so she hadn’t controlled her strength. It was even harder than Sun Ting’s kick.

Chapter 22: This Beauty Was a Lucky Find

Feng Jin’s frightened appearance struck his men as odd. Their boss was scared stiff.

“Yeah, I was just saying. Why are you so agitated?”

Tang Ze shrugged. Feng Jin’s face darkened even further, and Ding Feng inwardly lamented the missed opportunity. This murderous delivery guy didn’t play by the rules.

Tang Ze continued, “But I highly doubt you even have eleven cases of mineral water.”

“Of course I do!”

“Then show me.”

Feng Jin almost retorted, “What about you?”, but remembering that Tang Ze had control of Dong Fei’s supplies, he held his tongue.

“You guys, go to my apartment and bring the water down.”

His men immediately ran to Building Two, and everyone waited. Tang Ze looked Ye Qingyi up and down. She naturally felt his gaze and noticed it was different from the other men’s.

Theirs were lecherous, while his was… as if he was looking at a delicious meal.

Soon, the men returned with cases of mineral water. Tang Ze smiled. “You’re short.”

“I got four cases from this raid, plus my own seven, makes eleven.”

Tang Ze patted his forehead. “Are you trying to take advantage of my poor math skills? You only have six cases here.”

“Impossible! I clearly had seven cases at home!”

Feng Jin snapped and immediately recounted, but it was still six.

He then shouted at his men, “Did you miss a case? Go back and look!”

His men frantically ran back, while Tang Ze waited patiently, winking at Ye Qingyi, which confused her.

What did he mean?

Was he trying to save me?

At this moment, Ye Qingyi felt a glimmer of hope. Perhaps righteous people like her brother-in-law hadn’t completely disappeared.

Soon, the men returned, one of them carrying a case of water, along with a woman in her thirties, dressed in pajamas and looking flustered.

“Honey, what’s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?”

The woman looked at Feng Jin in confusion. Why were they carrying all the water out? Seeing Ye Qingyi on the car roof, she immediately understood and became angry.

“Boss, the water is here, but…”

The younger brother didn’t know what to say.

“But what?”

The younger brother awkwardly turned the case around. The box was torn open, and only two bottles of water remained inside.

Feng Jin was dumbfounded. He snapped, “Who touched my water?!”

The woman rolled her eyes. “Didn’t you say I smelled bad? I just took a quick shower.”

“You…!”

Feng Jin was speechless. The others murmured among themselves, surprised that someone could still afford to shower…

Tang Ze drew out an “oh”. “You don’t have eleven cases. You have ten cases and two bottles.”

“I do! I can borrow a few more bottles. Wait, I’ll be right back!”

Feng Jin was about to ask his men for water.

Bang! A shell casing clattered to the ground.

Feng Jin froze, his eyes wide open, then he collapsed, blood oozing from his forehead.

Tang Ze blew on the gun barrel and said calmly, “I hate being lied to.”

Ding Feng, standing to the side, felt a mix of relief and fear, but mostly fear. Cold sweat trickled down his back.

In just a few minutes, Tang Ze had killed both Feng Jin and Sun Youqing. He was now the boss… wait, would he kill him too?

This thought filled Ding Feng with dread.

“Honey!”

Seeing her husband killed, the woman rushed over, only to find him dead.

“What are you all waiting for? He killed your boss! Kill him!”

Another bang.

The woman collapsed onto Feng Jin’s body. She hadn’t seemed to realize who was in charge here.

Tang Ze sighed. “Why all this fighting and killing? Can’t we all just get along?”

His words angered everyone. Who was doing all the fighting and killing? Who started it? How dare he!

But they only dared to think these thoughts. No one dared to act; whoever did would be next.

Ye Qingyi found Tang Ze strange. He acted like a cold-blooded killer, but his words were somewhat humorous. A strange man. But she still had to thank him.

“I bid ten cases. Are you still going to bid?”

Tang Ze looked at Ding Feng.

Ding Feng quickly shook his head. Continuing to bid was the same as bidding with his life.

“Anyone else want to bid? I’m very fair.”

Tang Ze looked around and shouted. There was no response, only fearful stares.

Tang Ze shrugged, bored. “Fine. Announce the winner then.”

“Alright, alright. Congratulations to the boss of Building Three for winning the beautiful auction item.”

The auctioneer quickly ran over and handed the rope to Tang Ze, along with Ye Qingyi’s tattered clothes and her phone.

Tang Ze slapped his forehead. “Oh right, I haven’t paid yet. Can’t dine and dash.”

“I killed two bosses, so their supplies should be mine, right? No problem with that logic, right?”

Tang Ze looked at the crowd.

Ding Feng laughed heartily. “No problem, of course not.”

“Since that’s the case, we’ll deduct it from the two bosses’ share. I’m in a good mood today, so consider the extra my treat.”

Everyone shared the same thought:

I’ve never seen such a shameless person, coming here empty-handed and taking away a top-quality beauty without paying anything.

Well, he did pay three bullets.

Suddenly remembering something, Tang Ze turned to the now-leaderless men and reminded them, “If I were you, I’d quickly choose a new boss.”

Ding Feng’s lips twitched. Was he trying to prevent him from taking over?

Seeing the men from Buildings Two and Five gathering together, Ding Feng frowned. He had just gotten rid of two rivals, and now two more were about to emerge?

Damn delivery guy, I’ll make you pay!

Arriving at the elevator, Ye Qingyi said weakly, “Could I put my clothes on?”

Tang Ze turned and smiled. “You look good like this. Why bother?”

“Huh?”

“They’re all torn and dirty anyway. Just put them on, such a hassle.”

“Could you untie me?”

Tang Ze clicked his tongue. Was he her servant?

Although she put her clothes back on, Tang Ze still thought she looked good, a kind of ravaged beauty. Ye Qingyi said gratefully, “Thank you for saving me.”

Tang Ze simply hummed in acknowledgement. The elevator doors opened, and he stepped inside. Ye Qingyi bit her lip and followed.

Arriving at the apartment, Tang Ze clapped his hands. “Kitties, wake up! We have a newcomer.”

An Bai and Sun Ting opened their tired eyes and slowly sat up, looking at Ye Qingyi. Their fatigue vanished, replaced by astonishment.

“Where… where did you find her?”

An Bai asked, dumbfounded. There was actually another top-tier beauty in this complex, on par with them.

Chapter 21: Does He Play by the Rules or Not?

“Boss, how about I be the auctioneer?”

A younger brother volunteered.

“Sure, let’s see what flowery words you can come up with.”

The younger brother happily walked to the car and, clearing his throat, shouted, “Residents, neighbors, brothers and sisters! Tonight, we have a very special item for auction, this beautiful woman!”

“Uh, what’s her name?”

“Ye Qingyi.”

Someone in the crowd prompted.

“Right, right. Our auction item is Miss Ye Qingyi. How old is she?”

Mao Gang, in the crowd, reminded, “Twenty-five years old, vice president of an advertising company.”

The crowd murmured appreciatively. Such a woman would have been a goddess in the past, someone they could only admire from afar. Now, although they were still admiring from a distance, they could at least see her fair skin.

Ye Qingyi looked at Mao Gang in the crowd, gritting her teeth. Gangzi wasn’t the same Gangzi anymore!

“Miss Ye Qingyi is twenty-five years old this year, vice president of an advertising company, and also the daughter-in-law of a CEO from a Fortune 500 company! Think about it, wouldn’t it be amazing to own the daughter-in-law of a Fortune 500 CEO? Absolutely a bargain!”

“Of course, this is just Miss Ye Qingyi’s background. The key is Miss Ye Qingyi herself. Look at those exquisite features, all natural, no artificial enhancements.”

“Look at that flawless skin, the touch must be a top-tier experience. And of course, the most dazzling part is her internal structure, which the three bosses can enjoy at home. We won’t pry.”

“As the saying goes, the poor enjoy your sweetness, the rich savor your saltiness. The starting bid is one bottle of mineral water, no upper limit!”

“I bid one bottle!”

A younger brother shouted excitedly. His friends were startled. Was he crazy, bidding against the bosses? Wasn’t he afraid of winning the bid but losing his life?

Ding Feng said calmly, “One case.”

“Boss Ding, that’s stingy! Five cases!”

Sun Youqing held up his hand, determined to win.

Feng Jin said casually, “Boss Sun, those five cases, are they your personal stash, or for all your brothers?”

Sun Youqing’s men paused. Yeah, the boss was using their water to bid on a woman, but they wouldn’t get to enjoy her?

Sun Youqing cursed inwardly. Trying to sow discord!

“Of course, it’s my personal stash.”

Sun Youqing said in a deep voice. He couldn’t take his brothers’ water at this time; it was equivalent to taking their lives.

His men were relieved.

“Alright, we’ll use our own supplies to bid.”

Ding Feng continued, “Six cases of water.”

Feng Jin’s expression darkened, but he still shouted, “Seven cases!”

Seven cases of mineral water was a fortune, especially now with supplies so scarce.

“Seven and a half cases.”

Ding Feng gritted his teeth. He could just drink less himself and take some from his men. He could send them out to find more later.

“Eight cases!”

Sun Youqing scoffed.

The crowd was in an uproar. Eight cases of water could save so many lives, yet they were being used to bid on a beautiful woman. Attractive women were always in demand, no matter the circumstances.

But this made many of the other women jealous.

“Ten cases.”

A voice suddenly chuckled.

The three bosses paused, confused, because it wasn’t any of them. They turned to look.

It… It was the delivery guy! He wasn’t dead!

Did the gunman die then?

Indeed, it was Tang Ze. He had just finished a round of “experience farming” at home and came down to see how much they had looted, and if there were any new “quality goods.”

As soon as he arrived, he heard the auction and saw the woman tied to the car roof.

Tang Ze was surprised. He had never seen her in the complex before. She was top-tier, comparable to An Bai and Sun Ting, perhaps even with a stronger aura.

He was in luck today. Supplies had fallen from the sky. Triple experience gain was about to begin.

Ye Qingyi couldn’t help but look up at Tang Ze. Wasn’t this the delivery guy, the ruthless killer?

Tang Ze’s appearance silenced the entire parking garage. Wasn’t he afraid of being surrounded and attacked, appearing alone like this?

Feng Jin was the first to break the silence. “Isn’t this the boss of Building Three? Decided to come downstairs for a stroll?”

“Bored, just watching your auction. Couldn’t resist joining in. Any problem with that?”

Tang Ze glanced at the three bosses, smiling amiably. But this was a smile the three bosses recognized, the smile of a man who killed without blinking. He didn’t seem to have his horse-slaying saber today. Did he have a gun?

Sun Youqing wasn’t afraid of Tang Ze. He said directly, “You come here and want to share the spoils we fought for? That’s not right.”

Bang!

A wisp of smoke rose from the gun barrel, and a bloody hole appeared between Sun Youqing’s eyebrows. Blood trickled down, and he even reached up to wipe it, then collapsed in disbelief.

“Is it right now?”

Tang Ze smiled at Feng Jin and Ding Feng.

Their composure vanished instantly. They looked warily at Tang Ze and the gun in his hand.

They were thinking of ordering their men to attack, but anyone who got close would be killed first.

It was a gamble. This guy had a gun. Should they bet on him being out of bullets?

The surrounding men were terrified by Tang Ze’s ruthlessness. Last time, he had slaughtered Dong Fei’s group with a saber. Today, he had just casually headshotted Sun Youqing, the boss of Building Five.

This delivery guy was terrifying.

Not only were the younger brothers scared, but Ye Qingyi’s face also paled, and she felt something warm on her cheek. Was it blood?

“Of course, it’s right. Boss Ding, what do you think?”

Feng Jin quickly recovered and said with a forced smile.

Ding Feng immediately echoed, “Right, right, perfectly right.”

“I’m a reasonable man. We’ll continue the auction normally. If I don’t win the bid, that’s my problem.”

Hearing Tang Ze’s words, everyone remembered his laughter from that day.

“It’s the apocalypse, who reasons anymore?”

And now he was talking about being reasonable?

So, did he play by the rules or not?

He casually headshotted someone, how was that reasonable?

“Auctioneer, what are you waiting for?”

Tang Ze prompted. Hurry up, I want to go back and grind some experience.

The auctioneer stammered, “Uh, the boss of Building Three has bid ten cases of mineral water. Any higher bids?”

“Eleven cases.”

Feng Jin felt a pang of pain in his heart. He was offering almost everything he had.

However, he heard Tang Ze’s low voice. “You dare to outbid me?”

Ding Feng was secretly delighted, hoping Tang Ze would shoot Feng Jin.

Feng Jin was startled and said with a panicked expression, “You, you said we’d have a normal auction!”

Chapter 20: The Beauty Auction

“Haha, your boss was such a good man. He left all the good stuff for the old folks and let you youngsters starve.”

Sun Youqing laughed heartily. It was truly comical.

Several men stepped forward, cursing Xie Yuhong and asking to join the other groups.

The three groups naturally welcomed the new recruits.

However, a few men didn’t make a choice, retaining their integrity. Feng Jin showed no mercy. “Kill them.”

“Husband!”

One of the women screamed, running towards her husband, but she was immediately pulled away by one of the younger brothers.

“You animals! You’ll all be executed!”

The woman cursed frantically.

But the three bosses didn’t care. Soon, the men were hacked to death on the spot.

Looking at the twenty-odd women in their thirties, Sun Youqing smiled. “What are you waiting for? Let’s divide them up.”

“To be fair, we’ll take turns choosing.”

“I’m the oldest, so I’ll go first, no problem, right?”

Feng Jin, pulling rank, had already set his sights on a young woman, the one whose husband had just been killed.

The other two naturally wouldn’t agree.

Meanwhile, in the basement, Ye Qingyi hid, hugging her knees, her body trembling uncontrollably. She felt incredibly cold.

She had taken advantage of the chaos to hide here, as Xie Yuhong had instructed.

Suddenly, a light shone on her, the light of a cell phone.

“Boss, there’s a woman hiding here!”

The younger brother was excited.

Ye Qingyi immediately tried to flee, but she was no match for the young man, who grabbed her long hair. “Bitch, still trying to run? Where do you think you can go?!”

Ye Qingyi screamed in pain as she was dragged by her hair.

Arriving at the parking garage, the younger brother threw Ye Qingyi into the middle. “Boss, this woman is good at hiding. Luckily, I found her.”

He looked expectant, waiting for his reward.

Ye Qingyi, with her disheveled hair, didn’t initially pique the interest of the three bosses. One of the younger brothers squatted down, brushed aside her tangled hair, and lifted her chin.

His expression froze, and he stammered, “Bo… Bo… Boss… A top-quality…”

Sun Youqing, seeing his subordinate’s stunned expression, kicked him. “What top-quality? Look at you, making a fool of yourself.”

But when Sun Youqing looked, he too was stunned.

Ding Feng also came over and understood.

She truly was top-quality. They hadn’t expected to find such a beauty in this rundown complex, no less stunning than the other two.

And after so many days, her face was still clean, only her dress slightly dirty from being dragged.

“Let go of me!”

Ye Qingyi slapped away the younger brother’s dirty hand, looking warily at the men around her, as if her nightmare had come true.

Feng Jin laughed. “A feisty one. I wonder how she’ll feel being ridden.”

The surrounding men all stared. She was far superior to the other women, so beautiful even without makeup. With a little dressing up, she’d be breathtaking. This was a good haul.

Sun Youqing tossed a cigarette to the younger brother. “Your reward.”

Holding the Furong Wang cigarette, the younger brother was overjoyed. These days, a single cigarette could make a smoker sell his soul. “Thank you, Boss!”

“Boss Feng, Boss Ding, this woman was discovered by my man. You’re not going to try and take her, are you?”

Sun Youqing’s words carried a clear threat.

Feng Jin chuckled. “Boss Sun, what are you saying? We agreed earlier to divide everything from Building One equally.”

Ding Feng naturally sided with Feng Jin. “Boss Feng is right. Boss Sun, you’re not going to break our agreement, are you?”

Sun Youqing took a deep drag on his cigarette, his vicious gaze piercing through the smoke.

Suddenly, he smiled. “Just kidding. Look how nervous you two are.”

Despite his words, he wanted to kill them both.

It had to be said, the saying “a beautiful woman can cause trouble” held true in any situation. This one woman almost broke the fragile alliance between the three factions.

As Sun Youqing laughed, Feng Jin and Ding Feng joined in. But if Sun Youqing hadn’t agreed, they would have killed his men without hesitation.

Sun Youqing smiled. “There’s only one of this quality. Shall we three take turns?”

With such a beauty, they all wanted her for themselves. Who would want to share?

Ye Qingyi, sitting on the ground, listened to their conversation, her face pale. She was being treated like a commodity, to be divided among them.

Looking at the load-bearing wall, she suddenly stood up and ran towards it.

However, Feng Jin reacted quickly and grabbed her hair. “Want to die? Not so easy.”

Ye Qingyi broke down, flailing her arms and cursing, “You bastards! You’ll all die a horrible death!!!”

“Tie her up!”

Ding Feng snapped.

The younger brothers tied Ye Qingyi up tightly. Large tears rolled down her beautiful face. After hiding for so many days, she still hadn’t escaped their clutches.

“For a top-quality product like this, let’s not take turns. Didn’t we agree on an auction?”

Feng Jin suggested.

“Alright, an auction.”

Sun Youqing agreed, and Ding Feng nodded.

But Feng Jin suddenly gave a sly look. “Since it’s an auction, we should inspect the goods, make sure they’re genuine, right?”

The men all understood.

“What are you doing? Don’t come near me!”

Seeing two men approaching her, Ye Qingyi screamed frantically, but it only excited them further.

The three bosses’ eyes gleamed. She had no excess fat, even abs on her slender waist, a combination of softness and strength. Her looks and figure were comparable to a movie star.

“Tie her to the roof of the car.”

The crying, helpless Ye Qingyi was forcibly tied to the car roof in a humiliating position, like a commodity on display for auction.

Feng Jin asked the people from Building One, “Does anyone know her?”

A woman immediately replied, “She seems to be Xie Yuhong’s sister-in-law.”

Feng Jin laughed. “Imagine that, Xie Yuhong actually hid such a beauty in his home. That good-for-nothing didn’t even touch her. He must have been saving her for us brothers.”

“Hahahahaha!”

The men burst into laughter.

Ye Qingyi, tied to the car roof, felt like she had no more tears left. She trembled, listening to their wicked laughter.

“She graduated from a top university, I heard she was about to get married. Her fiancé is the son of a CEO from a Fortune 500 company.”

Another woman revealed.

Sun Youqing was delighted. “Such a high education. In the past, she probably wouldn’t even give us a second glance.”

“That’s right, now she can only be glanced at.”

Feng Jin roared with laughter.

Sun Youqing coughed lightly. “Alright, alright, let’s start the auction.”

He could barely contain his excitement.

Chapter 19: The Eccentrics of Building One

Ye Qingyi, watching the cleaver embedded in her sister’s forehead, covered her mouth tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face. Her sister’s dying gaze was a plea to find her daughter.

Mao Gang bent down, pulled out the cleaver, and then brought it down again.

Thud, thud, thud!!!

“Sister-in-law, I’m doing this for you, don’t blame me.”

“Brother Yu, I’ve sent your wife down to accompany you. You can be reunited now.”

Ye Qingyi watched as her sister was hacked to death, her face unrecognizable, even brain matter splattering onto her own face, but she didn’t dare to make a sound.

Hearing the door close, Ye Qingyi, hiding under the bed, finally couldn’t suppress her terror and panic any longer, but she only dared to weep softly. Her world had collapsed.

In the parking garage, the men from Buildings Two, Four, and Five had gathered, a total of 53 men. There were others who hadn’t joined, perhaps unwilling to become murderous animals, or perhaps lacking the courage, afraid of being executed after the disaster.

These 53 men all held knives, some kitchen knives, some fruit knives.

The three bosses, Feng Jin, Ding Feng, and Sun Youqing, each held a 50-centimeter watermelon knife.

The three smoked, their faces filled with the anticipation of the coming violence, like wild beasts.

“Boss Ding, Boss Sun, after we’re done with Building One, let’s discuss a time to take Dong Fei’s supplies from Building Three. As for that gunman, can his bullets outnumber us?”

Feng Jin was skinny, yet 1.8 meters tall, with a mole on his lip that made his whole appearance seem disharmonious.

He was a career criminal, having served time for theft. He had done everything except murder.

Ding Feng, on the other hand, was just a small-time thug, working as a bouncer. Sun Youqing was a construction foreman, used to dealing with ruthless people. Although plump, he could be terrifying when provoked.

None of these three were good people.

Sun Youqing took a long drag on his cigarette and said with narrowed eyes, “What’s there to discuss? We take this building tonight, and that building tomorrow night. Are you in or not?”

They all knew that Building Three was more dangerous than Building One, but it definitely had more supplies.

“I agree.”

Ding Feng flicked the ash from his cigarette.

“I want those two women.”

Feng Jin’s eyes gleamed; he was a lecherous fiend.

Ding Feng and Sun Youqing wouldn’t agree to that. Every man wanted women like An Bai and Sun Ting.

Ding Feng suggested, “We’ll auction off the women with the supplies.”

“Interesting. Alright.”

Feng Jin didn’t object, and neither did Sun Youqing. But all three were thinking of finding a chance to eliminate the others, preferably by teaming up with one first.

Just then, Mao Gang ran out of the elevator, his blood-covered face giving everyone pause.

Clang, clang, clang.

The rolling shutter door opened, and a group of demons were about to storm the building.

“Big brothers, you promised you wouldn’t touch my family.”

Mao Gang said nervously, afraid they would go back on their word.

Sun Youqing patted Mao Gang’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, those who walk the path value trust. Brothers, charge! Kill all the old ones, capture the young ones! Kill anyone who resists!”

“Yes, Boss!”

The group didn’t take the elevator, instead charging up the stairs.

The three bosses strolled leisurely behind.

In less than a minute, cries, screams, and pleas for mercy echoed through the complex, like a scene from hell, illuminating their butcher knives.

The old woman living across from Mao Gang heard a knock on her door, put down the remote control, and went to open it, grumbling.

“So late at night, can’t a person get any rest? All day long, not thinking about finding supplies, just doing useless things.”

Without even looking through the peephole, she opened the door. Seeing two young men with knives standing there, she wasn’t afraid at all, and even started lecturing them. “What are you doing, scaring an old woman with knives? If you have the guts, go out and fight for supplies! Young people these days have no respect for the elderly.”

The two young men were stunned.

What kind of weirdos lived in Building One?

How could she have survived until now?

“What are you looking at? Get lost.”

She tried to close the door.

But one of the young men had his hand on the door, smiling coldly. “Old hag, I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time.” He raised the kitchen knife and swung it down, hitting the old woman’s shoulder. She cried out and fell to the ground, still cursing.

“That’s for blasting your loudspeakers every day, disturbing my games.”

He stabbed the old woman repeatedly.

Mao Gang arrived at his door and saw the scene.

“Gangzi, help me!”

The dying old woman pleaded with Mao Gang, who just watched, a slight curve to his lips. He had probably also wanted to kill her.

With each stab, the old woman’s life ebbed away. The two young men searched the apartment for supplies.

“Holy sh*t, this old hag actually had a case of yogurt, two cases of water, and even sugar-free soda?!”

The two young men were dumbfounded. How did an old woman manage to hoard so much?

By begging, of course.

If the two young men knew, their worldview would be shattered again.

In Building Three, Tang Ze looked at Building One to his right and smiled. “It’s lively tonight.”

“Building One has been breached.”

An Bai said with a trace of worry. Once Building One fell, they would be next.

Sun Ting, wiping the floor, reassured An Bai, “Bai, this isn’t something we should worry about.”

An Bai bit her lip, thinking of the female corpse in the bedroom earlier, and said firmly, “Even if I die, I don’t want to fall into their hands.”

Tang Ze smiled confidently. “I’m not dead yet, how can you die? I’ll kill as many as they send.”

An hour later, the purge of Building One was nearing its end. Boxes of supplies were being carried down to the parking garage.

Seeing the mountain of supplies, the three bosses were stunned.

The men and women of Building One were separated and squatting on the ground. Seeing so much, they were also surprised. Hadn’t they said there were no supplies left?

“That Xie Yuhong did well, hoarding so much.”

Feng Jin opened a box of spicy strips, took out a pack, tore it open with his teeth, and took a large bite.

One of his men said with a flattering smile, “Boss, most of these supplies were taken from those old folks’ homes.”
