Chapter 61: Zhou Ke’er Can’t Stand It

Chapter 61: Zhou Ke’er Can’t Stand ItThe next day, Zhang Yi heard gunshots in the corridor.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Two gunshots echoed like two large firecrackers.

This was undoubtedly Chen Zhenghao's doing.

It was clear that Zhang Yi's words from yesterday had already taken effect.

In the face of imminent death, people's fear of death began to fade away.

The promise of a week’s worth of hearty meals was an irresistible temptation.

Zhang Yi opened the surveillance system and saw the conflict erupt.

Two men holding wrenches and kitchen knives lay on the ground, blood staining the corridor red.

But Chen Zhenghao didn't fare much better either. He leaned against the wall, holding his gun, looking visibly shaken.

They had intercepted people fetching water here, so naturally, others could take the opportunity to retaliate against them.

Chen Zhenghao signaled his subordinates to drag the two bodies away while he quickly retreated to his apartment.

He gripped his handgun tightly. This was now his last line of defense.

Dragging the bodies back home, Chen Zhenghao gave his men a look, and they immediately dragged the corpses to the back of the kitchen.

Chen Zhenghao’s eyes were cold as he sat on the freezing sofa, unable to find much warmth.

After returning yesterday, he saw the messages in the group chat and realized that Zhang Yi had placed a bounty on him.

This made him furious.

He considered himself the hunter, with Zhang Yi merely the prey!

Prey had no right to fight back against the hunter!

However, he underestimated the desperation of people on the brink of death.

Early this morning, two desperate young men had come for his life.

This made Chen Zhenghao feel a sense of danger, but it also drove him to even greater madness!

"Die! I'll kill you all. If you want me dead, you die first!"

Chen Zhenghao roared.

As he calmed down, he suddenly felt a pain in his back.

He called over one of his men to check it out.

His subordinate took one look and exclaimed, "Boss Hao, you’ve been stabbed!"

Chen Zhenghao’s down jacket had a 30 cm long cut made by a kitchen knife, and fresh blood was visible on the black jacket if one looked closely.

The extreme cold outside and the adrenaline rush had numbed his pain initially. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴøvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

But now, hearing his subordinate, the pain hit him hard.

"Damn those bastards, they dared to ambush me!"

Sweat beaded on his forehead, and he quickly grabbed his phone to call Zhou Ke’er.

"Dr. Zhou, I’ve been hurt. Come over and bandage me up!"

Before long, Zhou Ke’er arrived at Chen Zhenghao’s place with her medical kit.

Her eyes were filled with loathing as she looked at the murderous thug, but she had no choice but to treat his wounds to survive.

In fact, Chen Zhenghao’s arrow wound didn’t cause an infection because Zhou Ke’er had treated it.

Though she was unwilling, facing the thug’s gun, she had no choice.

"I won’t do this for free," Zhou Ke’er said coldly.

Chen Zhenghao laughed, pointing to the kitchen, "I’ll give you a share of the food later!"

Zhou Ke’er sniffed the air, smelling the strong stench of blood.

Her face changed. With years of hospital experience, she knew exactly what it was.

Suppressing her urge to vomit, she said coldly, "No need."

Chen Zhenghao laughed, "Still so high and mighty, Dr. Zhou? One day you’ll eat it too. If not, you’ll die!"

"I’d rather die."

Zhou Ke’er frowned.

"I can't let that happen! In this world, having a doctor around is too important," Chen Zhenghao sighed.

Had Zhou Ke’er not treated his leg injury back then, he would have lost more than just a leg; he would have lost his life!

"Don’t worry, if it ever comes to it, I’ll save you for last," Chen Zhenghao said, his eyes gleaming with lust.

He had long desired this beautiful woman, but her usefulness kept him in check.

Zhou Ke’er, frowning, stayed silent and treated his wound.

In no time, the wound was bandaged.

Zhou Ke’er picked up her medical kit, intending to leave.

But Chen Zhenghao signaled his man, who blocked the door.

Zhou Ke’er’s heart raced, "What do you want?"

Chen Zhenghao replied, "Nothing. You can’t leave until I’m fully healed."

Chen Zhenghao was genuinely afraid.

Countless people wanted him dead, and with limited medicine, having a doctor by his side gave him some peace of mind.

Ignoring her resistance, he forced her to stay.

Soon after, his subordinate brought out a pot of cooked food.

Zhou Ke’er, thinking about what it might be, nearly vomited.

Luckily, her hospital experience helped her keep her composure.

Chen Zhenghao offered her some food, but she refused.

He sneered, ignoring her.

He believed she was just pretending to be virtuous. One day, when hunger overcame her, she would eat.

"This can’t go on. Those bastards are rebelling against us. It's not good."

"Only by killing Zhang Yi and taking over his apartment will we be safe."

"His place is like a fortress with ample supplies, enough to last us for months. By then, the snow disaster might be over."

"So, we need to focus on dealing with Zhang Yi."

Chen Zhenghao told his men.

They exchanged worried glances.

"Boss Hao, we’ve attacked Zhang Yi’s place several times but always failed."

"His place is like a turtle shell, impenetrable!"

Chen Zhenghao said, "I don’t believe there are no flaws. He must leave his home at some point!"

"Let's move next door to his place and take turns watching him. The moment he steps out, we’ll kill him!"

"Living on the higher floors is safer too."

His men, feeling lost, nodded in agreement.

Zhou Ke’er overheard their conversation.

Using the excuse of going to the bathroom, she secretly messaged Zhang Yi, informing him of their plan.

Zhang Yi read it and chuckled.

"Think I’ll step out? Not a chance!"

"Got it. You stay and keep observing."

As a doctor, Zhou Ke’er was valuable, and Chen Zhenghao wouldn’t kill her. For now, she was safe.

Zhang Yi wasn’t in a hurry. He had placed a bounty on Chen Zhenghao, and someone would eventually take the risk of killing him.

Chen Zhenghao and his men packed their supplies and moved to the 24th floor, bringing Zhou Ke’er with them.

The young couple living next door to Zhang Yi were terrified by Chen Zhenghao’s arrival.
