CH 66.1

Inside the car, there was a dead silence. Liu Ting dared not make a sound, and the car behind them remained motionless as well.

In the rearview mirror, the red figure gradually disappeared. Huo Yiming’s dark eyes flickered, exuding a cold aura all around him.

“Boss, are we leaving now?” Liu Ting couldn’t hold back any longer and whispered.

Sure enough, Huo Yiming glanced over with a knife-like gaze, then roughly pushed open the car door.

Liu Ting: “…” So, why bother in the first place?

Chasing the person away only to chase her back?

As Wan Tong walked, she felt someone approaching her, but she stubbornly refused to look back.

No matter how Huo Yiming coaxed her, she was determined not to show him a good face!

But little did she know, without saying a word, the man swiftly struck her with a hand chop, causing her to collapse and lose consciousness completely.

Wan Tong : …I miscalculated.

Liu Ting watched as cold-faced Huo Yiming returned with the girl in the red dress in his arms. Liu Ting rubbed his nose in frustration. Indeed, Huo Yiming was the Boss, and his style was extraordinary.

The two cars started again and drove towards the temporary base in the outskirts.

After entering the manor, Huo Yiming left with Wan Tong, while Liu Ting directed his men to unload the supplies from the rear compartment. However, they made an unexpected discovery.

Among the supplies, there was a little boy who seemed to be quite ill. His eyes were tightly closed, and his pale face lacked color.

“D*mn, how did he get on board? Is he a zombie or a human?” One of the men exclaimed.

Liu Ting pushed up his glasses, pulled the onlookers aside, and reached out to touch Mo Xing’s face. “He’s human. Xiao Liu, take him for a check-up, see if he has any injuries.”

Regardless of how he got on the car, being able to sneak on board without anyone noticing meant he had some abilities. Liu Ting decided to get the boy healed first and then figure out the rest.

“Got it!” A young man responded promptly and lifted Mo Xing up, carrying him away.

“Hey, wake up!”

Wan Tong felt herself being shaken a few times, and she gradually woke up from her daze.

A cute round-faced girl appeared in front of her.

“You are…” Wan Tong blinked, confused as she sat up from the single bed, looking at the girl with big round eyes. “How did I get here?”

“I’m Yuan Xiaobai,” the girl said with a wink, looking very curious. “This is the base. I heard you came back with Boss Huo. Did you sleep with him?”

“Cough, cough, cough…” Wan Tong coughed lightly, feeling unsure of the situation.

Seeing her looking weak and as if she had been taken advantage of, Yuan Xiaobai kindly explained to her.

It turned out that after Huo Yiming brought Wan Tong back to the manor, he dumped her here with Yuan Xiaobai.

Yuan Xiaobai was an ordinary person, just reached adulthood, a little girl with no strength. Although she didn’t have much privilege, she would go with the team to collect supplies and clear the zombies around on ordinary days.

“The women in this base live on this floor, and it’s a bit chaotic. You need to be careful in the future,” Yuan Xiaobai reminded, swinging her legs.

“Since it’s all women, why is it chaotic?” Wan Tong’s mind was still not able to catch up.

Yuan Xiaobai sighed, struggling to explain, “This place only provides a place to live, not food. If you want to survive, you have to figure it out yourself. But not everyone has the courage to go outside again to find supplies.”

Wan Tong nodded, suddenly understanding.

Yuan Xiaobai was referring to women who traded their bodies for food.

“But don’t worry, Boss Huo has given orders. Any transaction is allowed within the manor, but private fighting and harming each other are strictly prohibited. If caught, the punishment is death,” Yuan Xiaobai patted her chest. “By the way, if you have your eyes on any man, I might be able to help you make a connection.”

“Cough, cough… You have that ability?

“Of course, although I can’t guarantee with Boss Huo, but I can try with Liu Ting.”

“Are you familiar with him?”

“We slept together.”

“Ahem, he’s so beastly?”

“When I first arrived and was starving, he happened to come by, so I dragged him into my room,” Yuan Xiaobai said, shaking her head, seemingly not feeling ashamed.

“And then?” Wan Tong was inexplicably curious.

Liu Ting was a metal-type ability user, not someone an ordinary girl could easily catch.

Yuan Xiaobai was amused by Wan Tong’s reaction. This young lady was quite interesting, unlike Qiu Jiji who just liked to show off.

“He was half-resisting and half-willing when he gave in to me. After that, I didn’t get out of bed for three days, and he brought me food every day. Then the woman next door and the woman next next door would pounce on him as soon as they saw him.”

Wan Tong felt like she had boarded a train without knowing where it was heading.

Yuan Xiaobai rummaged through her bag in a carefree manner. “My food won’t last for much longer. I was just thinking whether I should go out to kill zombies tomorrow or call him over tonight—”

“Don’t, I’m still here!” Wan Tong quickly spoke up.

Yuan Xiaobai glanced at her with round eyes. “It’s okay, I don’t mind.”

Wan Tong : Well, I mind!

Yuan Xiaobai chuckled and leaned in closer. “Actually, I think it’s quite enjoyable.”

Wan Tong pursed her lips and thought she shouldn’t be too prudish, so she finally joined in the conversation. “You seem to have a lot of experience?”

“Don’t be fooled by the fact that I’ve only slept with one man. I’ve watched plenty of videos. Men with men, men with women, women with women… I’ve seen them all!”

—Oh, dear.

Wan Tong was dumbfounded again, feeling an impulse to sit on a small stool and listen to her give a lecture.

“But I’m curious about you and Boss Huo. Aren’t you a couple? How did he send you here? Is it because of some disharmony in that aspect?” Yuan Xiao Bai showed great curiosity again.

“It was quite painful…” Wan Tong felt that she couldn’t show weakness in this regard, so she continued the conversation.

“So, I’m telling you, don’t look for virgins when you’re looking for men. Liu Ting is quite skilled. I think you can give him a try when the time comes,” Yuan Xiaobai said.

Wan Tong : “…”

Forget it, this topic can’t be continued.

It’s also good to be a prude.

Wan Tong reached out and took the backpack next to her, which belonged to Mo Xing. It was probably brought back by Liu Ting when he couldn’t find anyone.

Thinking of the possible situation Mo Xing might be facing now, Wan Tong felt worried and decided to go see Huo Yiming later.

Through the closed door, the two men with good hearing were both wearing dark faces.

Liu Ting gritted his teeth, suppressing the urge to kick the door, glancing at Huo Yiming beside him, feeling like he wanted to die.

—Yuan Xiaobai!

Huo Yi Ming gave Liu Ting a cold glance and then flicked his sleeve, leaving.

Liu Ting hurriedly followed, but his mind was wandering. Did Boss really have no skills?

Liu Ting was a bit hesitant. If it were before the apocalypse, he could have found some movies or something for Huo Yiming, but now… could he only give verbal teaching?

Wan Tong finished her meal, changed out of her red dress, and exchanged it for a set of sportswear from a young woman in the neighboring room.

She wandered around the manor, but didn’t know where to find Huo Yiming.

She couldn’t enter where he lived, and no one was willing to give her any information.

It seemed like he was intentionally avoiding her.

Wan Tong wanted to follow the team that was going to leave the manor to look for supplies, but she was stopped at the gate every time she tried. After a few attempts, she gave up.

During the night, Yuan Xiaobai couldn’t find Liu Ting because he was sent to clear out the zombies that were attacking the manor.

Wan Tong breathed a sigh of relief, as she was really afraid that Yuan Xiaobai would really perform some bedroom exercises.

However, another man came to find Yuan Xiaobai, and he bluntly offered to exchange a box of instant noodles for a night with her.

The man was tall and handsome, but Yuan Xiaobai rolled her eyes and rejected him outright.

After closing the door, she said to Wan Tong, “That man must have ulterior motives. He was just following that b*tch named Qiu Jiji around, and now he wants to sleep with me!”

Wan Tong realized that the man’s name was Qin Tianyu, one of Qiu Jiji’s pursuers, and he had targeted the original owner because of Qiu Jiji.

“You’re cautious indeed,” Wan Tong smiled.

“Of course, I never sleep with anyone easily.”

Wan Tong : “…”

Yuan Xiaobai slept like a log, while Wan Tong couldn’t fall asleep and got up to leave her room.

The corridor was not quiet, as faint sounds of men and women intertwined could be heard from various room doors.

She walked briskly to the end of the corridor. Although there was a generator in the building that provided electricity for daily life, the elevator was still not working, so they usually took the stairs.

As she was descending the stairs, she ran into Qin Tianyu.

She pretended not to see him, lowered her head and tried to walk past him, but Qin Tianyu grabbed her arm.

“Li Wantong, do you have the face to come back?”

Wan Tong shook off his hand and didn’t look pleased. “Who do you think you are? Do you have any right to control me?”

It seemed that her guess was correct. He looked for Yuan Xiaobai because of her, considering they were sharing a room.

Qin Tianyu threw a small bag at her, but Wan Tong didn’t catch it, letting it fall on the stairs. Several blue crystals scattered from the bag instantly.

“This should be enough for you to get some food. Now, I’m going to your room.”

Wan Tong smirked, not even bothering to look at the crystals. “Do you really think I would be interested in you with your behavior? Or are you trying to force a trade?”

Qin Tianyu approached her and grabbed her shoulder before she could escape. “Has anyone seen me forcing you? I advise you to behave, otherwise…”

“Otherwise what?” Suddenly, a deep, cold voice interjected.

Qin Tianyu instinctively went on guard and looked down at the stairs, where Huo Yiming’s figure appeared.

“Boss…I…Ah!”

But in the blink of an eye, Huo Yiming arrived beside them and grabbed Qin Tianyu’s arm that was on Wan Tong.

Qin Tianyu rolled onto the platform of the stairs, holding his arm, and knelt down with a thud.

He couldn’t beat Huo Yiming, so he could only be a submissive lackey. Now, he didn’t even have the ability to resist.

“I’m asking you, otherwise what?” Huo Yiming looked down at him with disdain, his tone icy and piercing.

Qin Tianyu trembled on the ground and didn’t dare to answer.

“It seems like you haven’t taken the rules of the manor seriously at all?” Huo Yiming said, hitting him with another sentence.

Qin Tianyu didn’t dare to say that he intentionally humiliated Li Wantong. “Boss, I just…kind of like this woman…I was wrong! Boss!”

“What do you like about her?” Huo Yiming asked with an ambiguous tone, while a purple lightning crackled in his palm, making a chilling sound.

Qin Tianyu was already startled, instinctively wanting to escape, but he realized that he couldn’t move his feet at all.

“Brother Huo! Stop!”

Qiu Jiji somehow ran over and stood in front of Qin Tianyu.

After all, Qin Tianyu was her loyal lackey, and she wasn’t ready to give him up just yet.

“Why are you here?” Huo Yiming’s expression didn’t soften, as if he would deal with Qiu Jiji along with the others if she didn’t give a satisfactory answer in the next moment.

Qin Tianyu saw her coming out to defend him and his eyes instantly turned red. He lowered his head and continued to apologize, “Boss, I offended Li Wantong, you can punish me as you wish.”

Qiu Jiji didn’t even look at Qin Tianyu, but gestured to the bag she was holding, “I just came back from outside and thought Wantong might not be used to it yet, so I prepared some food for her.”

Wan Tong witnessed this scene and found Qiu Jiji’s acting a bit ridiculous. Qiu Jiji was staying in the adjacent building with Huo Yiming’s team, and Qiu Jiji was staying up all night to bring her food? Their relationship wasn’t that good, right?

Qiu Jiji had a space storage, and these foods should have been taken out temporarily just now, which was a large bag of beef jerky…

Wan Tong also didn’t hesitate, took a step forward, took the bag from Qiu Jiji, politely said thank you, and then silently stepped back to the side.

“…”

The three of them watched her actions, and there was a momentary freeze in the low atmosphere.

Qiu Jiji’s corner of the mouth twitched, feeling sorry for the bag of beef jerky, thinking this annoying woman…

The purple lightning in the palm of Huo Yiming had already disappeared, and he muttered in a low voice, “Why haven’t you left yet!”

Upon hearing this, Wan Tong blinked her eyes, then hugged the bag of beef jerky and ran upstairs.

Why was he yelling? Her ears were not damaged!

Huo Yiming was originally facing Qiu Jiji and Qin Tianyu, but when he noticed Wan Tong slipping away, his eye twitched, and he turned around and followed her upstairs.

Qiu Jiji watched his figure disappear before turning to look at Qin Tianyu, then left expressionlessly.

Qin Tianyu covered his arm, his delicate cheeks drained of blood, and when he saw Qiu Jiji leaving, he quickly tried to get up and follow her, “Jiji!”

But Qiu Jiji didn’t pay attention to him.
