“Can I go through here? I want to find the rescue team. I need help.”

Li Ran instantly responded.

​ 

Hearing that, the woman looked at her suspiciously and asked, “How did you get here? Did you not encounter any zombies on the road?”

“I did. I ran them over with my car,” Li Ran answered honestly.

“Are there any wounds on your body?”

“No.”

“Come in. We will do a check-up on you.”

The woman pointed her gun towards an entrance. There were barricades around it, meaning that Li Ran would need to jump over them.

Li Ran paused for a moment. She looked at the height of the barricades and said with a bitter smile, “It might not be possible for me. I’m pregnant.”

“I will get rid of a couple of bags.”

The woman walked towards the bags and put her gun down. She carried one bag in each hand and threw them aside.

Then, she picked up her gun again and raised her hand, indicating for Li Ran to come over.

Li Ran was extremely tense after seeing the gun.

She could die at any given second and might not even have time to enter the space.

“Don’t be afraid. We just need to do a check-up. If there’s no problem, we will let you go.”

The woman comforted her softly.

“Okay.”

Li Ran followed her into the entrance.

The place she entered was relatively large. It was like a factory. Many things were stored. There were also quite a number of people. They seemed busy.

Some of them were carrying food and drinks while others were cleaning up. Li Ran could also see a few people fiddling with pistols, although she was not sure if they were just gun models or the real thing.

It was very shocking.

“Are those guns real?”

“What do you think?” The woman continued to lead the way.

“Are you people from the countryside? Since you all possess guns.”

The woman chuckled and pushed a door to a room open.

“You’ll understand once you go through the inspection.”

Li Ran went into the room…

She was stunned when she saw who was inside. Li Ran wanted to turn around and leave, but the other person had a gun in his hands and was pointing it at her.

It was Cui Chong!

Cui Chong’s eyes widened when he saw Li Ran. He was very surprised.

“You’re still alive? How lucky”

He dared not get close to Li Ran.

Cui Chong signaled the people beside him with his eyes.

They were going to start Li Ran’s check-up.

She was brought into another room. Inside, there was a woman wearing a white coat and a protective suit. She looked at Li Ran and put on her gloves.

“Take off your clothes.”

“…”

Li Ran stood still.

“Take off your clothes so I can check if there are any wounds on your body. Don’t worry. I am the only one here and there are no surveillance cameras.”

The woman’s tone was indifferent.

It was not as if Li Ran had a choice.

…

“Are you done checking? Can I go?”

“The door is right there, please go ahead.”

Li Ran turned around and walked out of the room.

Cui Chong was waiting outside.

She did not even spare him a glance and continued walking.

However, Cui Chong rushed over and stopped her.

“Your inspection ended so quickly?”

“I’m leaving. I’m not staying here,” Li Ran said as she walked past him.

Unfortunately, she could not leave just because she wanted to.

Cui Chong had no intention of letting her go.

He stood in front of her and said, “You’re still alive, so you must have some skills. We’re short on people here, especially those who are capable. Why don’t you reconsider? It’s much safer here.”

“After what you’ve done, what’s there to reconsider?”

Li Ran sneered at him.

She was not persuaded at all.

“You don’t believe me?”

“No.”

Li Ran said coldly but Cui Chong suddenly laughed instead.

Losing her patience, Li Ran tried to leave again but Cui Chong grabbed her arms.

“Do you know why I didn’t save you?”

“I’m not interested in your explanation.”

Cui Chong ignored her and said, “It was because you’re not my woman. If you follow me this time, I’ll give you a hand. I guarantee that you will not have to worry about food and water anymore. Plus, you won’t have to work.”
