Chapter 33: Emptying the Complex
The woman shook her head vigorously, not daring to look at Tang Ze.
After Tang Ze left the bedroom, taking the supplies, he continued to the next apartment.
It was a night of bloodshed and carnage. Screams echoed throughout the complex until dawn.
In the living room, the three women hadn’t slept a wink.
Tang Ze had said he was going out to do something and hadn’t returned. Now, it was morning, and there was still no news from him. Screams echoed from outside. What was happening?
If Tang Ze was dead, they would face unimaginable torment. Even Ye Qingyi didn’t want anything to happen to him now.
The pressure and fear made Ye Qingyi weep softly. Remembering her recent tragic experiences, the deaths of her sister and brother-in-law, she burst into uncontrollable sobs.
Her crying was contagious. An Bai started crying too, and Sun Ting trembled, imagining herself becoming a corpse like her friend. Fear brought tears to her eyes.
Without Tang Ze, they were nothing. The sound of the door opening made the three women look up with a mixture of fear and anticipation.
Tang Ze walked in with a smile, holding a large gift box, his body covered in blood. “Crying so early in the morning? I’m not dead yet.”
An Bai burst into tears. She had been terrified. If Tang Ze had died, she would have jumped.
Not out of love, but to escape the inevitable torture.
“Someone comfort her.”
Tang Ze said helplessly.
Sun Ting wiped the tears from her eyes. “Bai is just like that, easily scared.”
Tang Ze shook his head and walked over to Ye Qingyi, placing the gift box down. “This is for you. No need to thank me.”
Looking at the gift box, Ye Qingyi was stunned. An Bai stopped crying, and Sun Ting was envious. This was the first time Tang Ze had given a gift!
It must be a cake or something, Sun Ting thought. Ye Qingyi hadn’t done anything special, why did she get a reward?
Was it because of her “good performance” last night?
“I’m going to take a shower. Clean yourselves up. Your makeup is all smudged, you look like ghosts. I might just kill you all.”
The three women were startled and quickly tidied themselves up. Tang Ze only liked beautiful women.
In the bathroom, hot water cascaded over Tang Ze’s muscular body, washing away the blood.
Thinking about his achievements last night, Tang Ze felt a surge of satisfaction. He had reached 63% progress, almost ready to upgrade his gift pack.
This method was much faster, even if the “quality” was questionable.
In the living room, the three women, their makeup refreshed, sat around the gift box.
“What is it? I’m so curious.”
An Bai’s eyes sparkled.
Sun Ting said enviously, “We’ve been here for so many days and haven’t received any gifts, and you get one after just a few days.”
“Maybe it’s because I’m a virgin.”
This comment stung, and Sun Ting and An Bai looked hurt.
Ye Qingyi chuckled. “Just kidding. We’ll share it.”
It was important to maintain good relations with them.
Hearing that Ye Qingyi was willing to share, Sun Ting and An Bai were happy and their impression of her improved slightly.
Ye Qingyi slowly opened the box, and the smiles on their faces instantly froze.
“Ugh…”
An Bai covered her mouth, her stomach churning, and rushed to the trash can to vomit.
Sun Ting, who had only felt nauseous, couldn’t help but vomit too, hearing An Bai’s retching.
Ye Qingyi, however, showed no reaction, staring at the head in the gift box.
It was Mao Gang, the murderer of her sister and brother-in-law.
Sun Ting’s face was pale after vomiting. She pointed at the head and asked, “Who is this?”
“The one who killed my sister and brother-in-law.”
Ye Qingyi said calmly. Sister, brother-in-law, you can rest in peace now. Gangzi has gone to apologize to you.
An Bai wiped her lips with a tissue and said enviously, “Master is so good to you.”
Ye Qingyi just gave an awkward smile. Why had Tang Ze suddenly done this? Was he captivated by her beauty?
Tang Ze came out of the bathroom, wearing only his underwear, and sat on the sofa. “I’m exhausted.”
Sun Ting and An Bai understood and immediately started massaging him.
“Thank you.”
Ye Qingyi knelt beside Tang Ze’s feet, her voice filled with gratitude.
Tang Ze closed his eyes and said casually, “I just happened to run into him. He said he was your brother-in-law’s good friend, so I killed him.”
“What about his wife and daughter?”
“They’re dead too.”
Tang Ze said slowly, sounding sleepy.
Sun Ting, massaging him, smiled at Ye Qingyi and asked curiously, “Master, what did you do all night?”
“Killed some people. You don’t have to stay cooped up in the apartment anymore. You can walk around the complex.”
Tang Ze said with a satisfied sigh.
An Bai gasped. “I don’t dare to walk around, I’ll be captured.”
“We’re the only four left in the entire complex.”
An Bai and Sun Ting stared at Tang Ze in disbelief.
Only the four of them?
What about everyone else?
Were they all dead?
“Alright, I’m going to sleep.”
Tang Ze patted Ye Qingyi’s head. I like your performance.
Back in his bedroom, Tang Ze went straight to sleep, but a pistol was set up at the door. Anyone who dared to enter would be shot.
The three women knew this rule and wouldn’t dare enter his bedroom.
“Let’s go take a look outside.”
Sun Ting suggested.
An Bai said worriedly, “What if he’s joking?”
Ye Qingyi shook her head. “He wouldn’t joke about our lives.”
Ye Qingyi had a good sense of judgment. Sun Ting and An Bai agreed. The three women grabbed kitchen knives and cautiously left the apartment.
They nervously made their way to the underground parking garage. The silence was unsettling. They entered Building Four and immediately smelled blood.
Blood dripped from the stairs above. Gulping, they continued upwards, the bolder Sun Ting in the lead, the timid An Bai in the middle, and Ye Qingyi at the rear.
Reaching the first floor, the stench of blood filled the corridor. Male corpses lay scattered on the ground. Entering an apartment, the three women gasped and immediately vomited.
Bodies were piled up everywhere, layer upon layer. A shriveled female corpse lay on the dining table, her eyes wide open in terror.
