Chapter 55: I Choose to Let Them Die!

In front of Alex, these goddesses who could once look down upon most men before the apocalypse, were now fawning over Alex, who seemed a bit nerdy, to such an extent.

"These women! Really... they are shameless!" Watching Li Wan Ning and others, like brainwashing in a pyramid scheme, advocating for wholehearted devotion to Alex, Si Ruosun cursed angrily in her heart.

But soon, she thought to herself, "If Alex really wants me to do that... what should I do?"

At this thought, Si Ruosun suddenly felt her heartbeat quicken a lot, and her chest felt uncomfortable as if a small deer was bumping around inside.

Although she was not young anymore, she had indeed never been in love.

Whether in the police academy or the police station, there were many who pursued her.

However, for some reason, she never liked to bother with those men who tried every means to please her and fawn over her.

She always felt that such men were not capable and lacked backbone, which she looked down upon.

Until she met Alex in the apocalypse...

"Oh well! There are so many beauties here, I, a woman without much femininity, surely won't be liked by him!" Si Ruosun muttered sourly to herself: "Hmph! Anyway, I will never fawn over him!"

Meanwhile, Alex came to the warehouse door again, gently knocked, and a surprised yet weak voice came from inside: "Who is it? Has Alex come?"

The door soon opened, and everyone in the warehouse greeted Alex as if he were a celebrity.

Only Darlene sat aside with a stern face, slightly aggrieved, and said: "Alex, why did you only come now? If you didn't come, we would have starved to death!"

In recent days, Darlene enjoyed a high status in the warehouse. Because she was now Alex's woman, everyone there was extremely obedient and compliant to her.

She was in charge of distributing food and water.

Anyone who caused her the slightest discomfort would be met with her furious punishment.

These days, she found pleasure in feeling like a queen.

This made her feel increasingly invincible.

Her previous fear of Alex was gradually fading, replaced by a belief that since she had given her first time to Alex, he would surely be indulgent, caring, and even loving towards her.

So, when she spoke to Alex, she deliberately put on an aggrieved and coquettish demeanor.

She aimed to show her importance among the people in the warehouse to gain a higher status.

All this was the result of her careful thinking over the past two days.

Based on some analyses she had seen from feminist bloggers on Weibo, she believed that ordinary men, especially nerdy ones, couldn't resist a woman's grievances, coquettishness, and tantrums!

If she could shed a few tears, as a goddess, she was sure to make Alex, the nerdy guy, completely fall for her and become utterly obedient and tender to her.

Once Alex was captivated by her goddess-like demeanor and became her devoted admirer, she could enjoy being a queen in the post-apocalyptic world to her heart's content!

However, Alex didn't react as Darlene had anticipated. He didn't rush to apologize or bring her food and water to seek her forgiveness.

Alex just coldly and indifferently turned to glance at Darlene, saying icily, "Are you talking to me?"

Everyone knew that being chosen meant certain death. Being selected was as good as being dead.

No one wanted to die! Everyone hoped that the chosen one would be someone else, not themselves!

Soon, the pieces of paper were placed in front of Alex.

From the looks in these people's eyes, Alex had already guessed the outcome.

Glancing at Terry, who had lost half his teeth and was covered in blood, Alex smiled and beckoned him over: "Old Du, come here! You read the votes."

Terry's eyes flashed with a hint of ecstasy as he hurriedly crawled next to Alex, opening a piece of paper to read aloud.

But as soon as he saw the name on it, he was stunned.

Alex slapped Terry hard across the face: "Read it out!"

"Du... Terry... one vote..." Terry read one paper with a mournful face, then opened another, "Du... Du... Terry, two votes..."

Seven or eight consecutive votes were all for Terry...

Terry collapsed completely on the ground, trembling in utter despair.

The others all let out a slight sigh of relief.

Alex stood up with a cold smirk.

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Alex then said to Terry, "I give you two choices."

"First, obediently go out there and meet your death!"

"Second, open the warehouse door, let the zombies in to kill everyone here, and you might have a chance to live."

After Alex finished speaking, everyone kneeling on the ground looked up at Terry in horror, their eyes filled with pleading.

"Director Du! It's better for one person to die than for all of us!"

"Director Du! As a director, you should sacrifice yourself for the greater good!"

"Teacher Terry! We've always listened to you and respected you! You can't betray us!!"

"Teacher Terry, haven't you always said that we should be brave enough to sacrifice and understand sacrifice? Sacrifice one for the good of all! We've always believed you to be such a great person!"

"Teacher Terry! It's always been you asking others to sacrifice, maybe it's time for your sacrifice?"

The crowd erupted into a noisy clamor, excitedly urging Terry.

Listening to the people's hypocritical admonitions, Terry's expression became more and more ferocious until he reached his breaking point: "Why should I be the one to sacrifice? Why not you?! Just because I'm a teacher doesn't mean I have to sacrifice! I want all of you to die! Die!!!"

Terry roared in madness, laughing wildly and viciously: "I choose to open the warehouse door, let these wretched people all die!!!"

"Die!!"

"All of you damn die!!!"
