Chapter 43: The Mysterious Mr. Huo
The gunshot startled the residents of the upscale complex, unease spreading through their hearts.
Perhaps Tang Ze didn’t realize that his single shot had accelerated the eruption of chaos in the complex, but he wouldn’t have cared anyway.
In this apocalyptic world, Tang Ze only cared about himself. Everyone else was irrelevant.
Seeing the car in the alley, Tang Ze smiled. So obedient, they didn’t drive away.
He continued his mission, eliminating everyone on his list one by one. By four in the afternoon, he had finished, settling his past grievances.
But there was one more person left.
“I’ve contacted him. He said he’ll be here this afternoon.”
Ye Qingyi returned Tang Ze’s phone.
He was satisfied.
“I heard Shanhu Complex is full of rich people. There should be quite a few beautiful women there, right?”
The three women shook their heads, unsure. It was a matter of luck.
Shanhu Complex was a luxury development in Hua’an City, with river views and located in a good school district, near a park. Many business owners had bought apartments here, some even taking out loans to afford it, just for the status.
For Tang Ze, an apartment here would have been an astronomical sum.
But that was before. Now, perhaps a bottle of water would be enough.
Bi Jian and Cao Yu were discussing how to deal with Tang Ze, how to make him hand over all his supplies.
“Do we really have to leave?”
Cao Yu seemed reluctant, but they were running out of food and water.
Despite the days that had passed, Bi Jian’s physique hadn’t changed much, though he had lost a little weight.
“What? Attached to this nice apartment?”
Bi Jian snorted. If it wasn’t for her usefulness, he would have dumped her long ago.
Cao Yu remained silent.
Bi Jian looked at the messages on his phone, his expression grim. His complex had been lucky so far, but the photos in his work group chat were horrifying. He knew it was only a matter of time before his complex fell into chaos. He had to leave soon, or he would end up like his useless subordinates.
Tang Ze had actually said he could come over. This delighted Bi Jian. What a fool, coming here to show off for a stupid woman. It was laughable.
Once he had Tang Ze’s supplies and those women, he would be much better off.
“When he arrives, I’ll drug his water.”
Bi Jian took out a pill. Cao Yu recognized it; Bi Jian sometimes made her take it, leaving her weak and helpless.
She could only nod, unable to resist.
Bi Jian, his fat body pressing against her, painted a rosy picture. “Once we have those supplies, we can last for months. Maybe this crisis will be over by then.”
Hearing this, hope flickered in Cao Yu’s eyes, and her expression became determined.
Her phone buzzed.
“He’s almost here.”
A sly smile appeared on Bi Jian’s face. If Tang Ze brought a woman with him, he could have some fun too.
Tang Ze didn’t just bring one woman; he brought three.
“There are people at the gas station ahead.”
Ye Qingyi, driving, pointed to the left. There was indeed a Sinopec gas station, with two cars parked under the roof and a few figures standing beside them.
“Let’s fill up then.”
Tang Ze patted Sun Ting’s head. “Stop eating, time to work.”
“It’s almost my turn!”
An Bai said pitifully.
Tang Ze shook his head, pulled up his pants, and Sun Ting took out her pistol, checking the ammunition and chambering a round.
An Bai popped a bubblegum into her mouth and expertly checked her pistol, the clicking sounds seemingly fascinating her.
“Brother Fengzi, a car’s coming.”
A young man with green hair, holding a baseball bat, called out. In Tang Ze’s eyes, it was a primitive weapon.
The man smoking in the car had a crew cut, a silver necklace around his neck, and, despite the cold weather, wore only a black tank top. A skull tattoo adorned his shoulder, and his eyes were cold and menacing. He looked dangerous. He held a Kukri knife, stained with blood.
“Holy sh*t, Brother Fengzi, we’re in luck! A modified Tank 300, with tracks!”
The younger brother in the passenger seat was excited. He grabbed a knife and got out of the car.
Fengzi exhaled a puff of smoke. “Tracks, that’s a good idea. Clever.”
“Brother Fengzi, should we kill them all, or…?”
Fengzi flicked his cigarette butt, not caring that they were at a gas station. “If they have such skills, we should keep them. They’ll be useful to Mr. Huo.”
But he also warned, “Anyone who dares to come here knowing we’re here isn’t going to be easy. Be careful, observe before attacking. Don’t mess up the plan.”
“Yes, Brother Fengzi!”
Seeing that the driver was a woman, the men paused, moving closer for a better look.
And she was a beauty!
“Brother Fengzi, top-quality!”
Even Fengzi was stunned. It had been almost a month since the apocalypse began. Where could you find such a well-maintained woman? Even Mr. Huo’s women couldn’t compare.
“Let’s see. If they’re suitable, we’ll capture the women and send them back.”
A predatory smile appeared on Fengzi’s lips. Such a beautiful woman wandering around outside, how foolish.
Ye Qingyi parked and slowly opened the car door, revealing her fair ankle.
The men stared at her red high heels and slender ankle, their mouths watering. They hadn’t touched a woman in a long time.
Seeing Ye Qingyi’s face, their eyes gleamed like wolves, wanting to tear her apart. It was a pity she was wearing a long down jacket, hiding her figure.
But even if she was flat-chested, she would still be top-tier.
Ye Qingyi got out of the car, stretched, and rolled her neck, muttering, “I’m exhausted.”
Fengzi and his men were confused. Could she not see them? Were they invisible?
The back doors opened, and An Bai and Sun Ting emerged. The men, including Fengzi, were dumbfounded. How long had it been since they had seen such beautiful women? Those high heels weren’t just stepping on the ground; they were stepping on their hearts. They were ecstatic.
I need to grab those legs and…
They had hit the jackpot today, three beauties! Mr. Huo would reward them handsomely. Fengzi even considered keeping them for himself.
For beautiful women, men would do anything.
The femme fatale trope was timeless.
Finally, Tang Ze jumped out of the car, catching Fengzi’s attention. One man, three women?
What was this man’s background?
To have three such beauties accompanying him?
“Brother Fengzi, what do we do?”
A younger brother asked quickly.
Fengzi hadn’t lost his head completely. “Let’s test the waters. Anyone confident enough to bring three beauties out like this must have some skills.”
