Chapter 19
"Shut up, you little brat, or I'll cut out your tongue!"0
A ferocious-looking thug pointed his knife at Jiang Zihao.0
"No, please don't! He's just a child. I beg you, don't cut out his tongue!"0
The Old Lady hurriedly covered her precious grandson's mouth in terror.0
"Brother Leopard, there's only some clothes, shoes, and other miscellaneous items in the trunk. No food," called out a Crew-Cut Man.0
Upon closer inspection, it was the same man Yun Xiaoxiao had encountered at the gas station.0
After being chased away by Yun Xiaoxiao that night, his former boss had been bitten to death by zombies on the road.0
Having escaped death, he had joined his current boss.0
"Damn it! No food again!"0
The man called Brother Leopard cursed under his breath.0
Then, impatiently, he ordered, "Kill the useless ones."0
Upon hearing this, Jiang Minhuai and the others were paralyzed with fear.0
K-kill them?!0
"Don't kill us, we have food!" Qian Jing cried out in panic.0
"Are you messing with me, woman? Your car is cleaner than your face. How could you have food?" Brother Leopard patted her cheek.0
Finding it quite smooth, he couldn't help but caress it a few more times.0
Qian Jing frantically shuffled backward, "I-I'm not lying. We don't have food on us, but I can take you to a place where there is food."0
"Qian Jing!"0
Jiang Minhuai knew exactly where his wife was referring to, and his conscience made him extremely uneasy.0
"Shut up, Jiang Minhuai! Are you really going to let your conscience get in the way now? Do you want to watch our whole family die before you're satisfied?!" Qian Jing roared in anger.0
Brother Leopard, watching the enraged woman, felt a fire ignite in his lower abdomen for some reason.0
He smiled lecherously, "You're quite feisty, aren't you? How about dumping your husband and coming with me?"0
Although the woman had an injured foot, it wouldn't interfere with certain activities.0
Besides, if it became a problem later, he could always discard her after he'd had his fill.0
The man's words were crude, and the surrounding men burst into laughter.0
Qian Jing looked at Brother Leopard. Though his appearance was fierce, he was well-built and exuded masculinity.0
In the past, she would have considered such a person a thug, completely beneath her.0
But what kind of world was it now? Only by following such men could one survive!0
Moreover, she was sick and tired of Jiang Minhuai. She used to think he was refined and gentle, but now she found him frustrating. He couldn't even protect his wife and child, leaving them without food. If she continued to follow him, it would only lead to death.0
Having thought it through, Qian Jing nodded at Brother Leopard.0
"Alright, I'll go with you."0
"Qian Jing, do you realize what you're saying?!"0
Jiang Minhuai couldn't believe what he was hearing.0
His own wife was declaring in front of him that she would go with another man!0
Qian Jing sneered, "Of course I know what I'm saying. Should I continue following you? Follow you to our deaths? Besides teaching, you're nothing but a useless coward! Who's going to listen to you teach in this apocalypse? The zombies?"0
She walked over to Brother Leopard's side, intimately holding his arm, "Only a man like this is worth relying on."0
"Hahaha..." Brother Leopard was pleased.0
He immediately took Qian Jing to a nearby patch of grass to have his way with her.0
Shameful sounds came in waves.0
"What a sin, what a terrible sin!"0
The Old Lady wept bitterly, feeling she had lost all face for a lifetime.0
She didn't dare cry too loudly, remembering the earlier threat about cutting out tongues for crying.0
Jiang Minhuai was so angry his eyes turned red. His male pride was being mercilessly trampled and crushed at this moment.0
Jiang Zihao, not understanding what was happening, heard his mother's cries and looked innocently at the Old Lady.0
"Grandma, why is Mom laughing and crying at the same time?"0
Hearing this, the Old Lady's tears flowed even more fiercely.0
She covered Jiang Zihao's ears, "Don't listen, child."0
Half an hour later, Brother Leopard emerged with Qian Jing, both disheveled but satisfied.0
"Baby, what should we do with this group?" he asked.0
"I only want my son. Let the other two go. We were husband and wife after all."0
Even if they let them go, without a car or food, how far could they get?0
It was still a death sentence.0
But as long as they didn't die in front of her, it was fine. It would save her from feeling uneasy and having nightmares at night.0
This wasn't really her fault, after all. Even birds know to choose a good tree to nest in.0
Let alone humans - it's natural for people to seek better circumstances.0
"Alright, as you wish."0
Brother Leopard was in a good mood after being satisfied.0
"Hey, you two, get lost now!" he shouted at Jiang Minhuai and the Old Lady.0
"I don't want to leave Grandma and Dad," Jiang Zihao cried.0
"Zihao, come here quickly. Mom will have food for you soon," Qian Jing called.0
"Really? There's food?"0
"Yes, there is."0
Jiang Zihao immediately ran happily towards Qian Jing.0
Utterly disappointed and humiliated, Jiang Minhuai set off down the desolate highway with his elderly mother.0
After they left, Brother Leopard embraced Qian Jing.0
"Baby, where are those supplies you mentioned earlier?"0
"They're next to the villa where we were staying before. There's not only food there, but the house has also been renovated. If we live there, we won't have to worry about zombies climbing over the walls at night."0
If there were ample supplies and a safe refuge, who would risk their lives going to a base?0
Brother Leopard and his men's eyes lit up upon hearing this.0
"Really?"0
"Absolutely true. It's just... it's a bit dangerous there."0
"Are there many zombies?"0
"No, not many zombies. But there's a little girl inside, and she has a gun."0
"A little girl? How old?"0
"About five years old."0
Hearing this, everyone except the Crew-Cut Man laughed.0
"What's there to fear about a five-year-old brat? She may have a gun, but don't we have guns too?"0
Brother Leopard pulled out the gun tucked into his waistband.0
Two of his subordinates also brandished their guns.0
Qian Jing immediately felt reassured and coyly leaned against the man's chest.0
"I knew you were the most capable. I definitely didn't make a mistake in choosing you."0
While everyone else was laughing, only the Crew-Cut Man frowned slightly.0
Five years old, with a gun, a little girl...0
Why did this sound so familiar?0
Yun Xiaoxiao was about to lie down for an afternoon nap when she suddenly heard the roar of several car engines.0
She furrowed her brow and quickly walked to the window, pulling back the curtain.0
She saw three vehicles parked outside: a dark green truck, a black SUV, and a gray-white sedan.0
Ten burly men emerged from the vehicles.0
And... the woman from next door?0
She's back?0
Yun Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in them.0
Huh, quite bold, daring to bring people back.0
Watching the woman clinging to Brother Leopard's side, Yun Xiaoxiao sneered.0
It seems she's found herself a new patron.0
She had to admit, this woman was quite ruthless.0
Changing husbands as easily as changing clothes.0
Actually, people like this tend to survive longer in the apocalypse, like cockroaches, scurrying wherever there's space.0
However, unfortunately for her, Yun Xiaoxiao's favorite pastime was squashing cockroaches one by one!0
