Steel factory, deserted alley.

Wang Hao leaned against the wall, hands in his pockets, a lollipop in his mouth, waiting silently.

Before long, a figure dressed in white drifted in.

Standing quietly beside Wang Hao.

"Want one?"

Wang Hao offered a lollipop.

"Thank you!"

The woman eagerly took the lollipop and popped it into her mouth.

She hadn't had candy in a very long time.

"Is it safe here?"

The woman asked weakly.

"Relax! With my perception, if anyone approaches, I'll detect it immediately."

Wang Hao said blandly.

The woman: ....

"Zhao Meng treats you quite well, doesn't he? You seem to be doing well here too, aren't you satisfied?"

Wang Hao glanced at the woman.

Delicate features, youthful appearance.

Li Qian!

Zhao Meng's girlfriend!

She had been flirting with him under the table during dinner.

Even now, Wang Hao couldn't figure it out.

Any other woman in the steel factory flirting with him wouldn't surprise him.

Except for Li Qian!

Zhao Meng treats her like a treasure!

He's basically her lapdog.

And Zhao Meng is the younger brother of Zhao Hu.

Li Qian's status in the steel factory is probably just below Zhao Hu and Yang Tian.

Even dining, she eats with them.

Wang Hao couldn't understand what she was up to.

"Is treating me well enough? I have an irreconcilable feud with those brothers!"

Li Qian's eyes flashed with hatred.

"Oh? Tell me about it?"

Wang Hao asked, a bit curious.

"Zhao Meng was my high school classmate, he pursued me back then, but I didn't like him.

I always kept my distance. Later, when the apocalypse broke out, my father, who had a habit of storing food since he was a farmer,

ensured we lived well. Later, as the mist cleared, my father, to avoid revealing that we had ample supplies,

occasionally went out with neighbors to gather supplies. I studied medicine in college and joined the community medical team.

Everything was fine until Zhao Hu and Zhao Meng arrived."

At this point, Li Qian's eyes glowed with hate, her voice carrying a murderous intent:

"They killed my father, had my mother raped by others, looted everything from our house, and killed many people.

At the time, I was caring for injured patients in the medical station, so they didn't touch me.

Later, when I was taken out, Zhao Meng saw me and since then I've been with him."

Li Qian briefly recounted her experience.

Wang Hao clicked his tongue in wonder.

Truly, fate plays tricks on people!

At the same time, Li Qian's family's experience reflected the sorrow of the hamster mentality.

No matter how much supplies you hoard, when faced with a powerful knife gang, you're just a granary.

Without the restraints of law, strength reigns supreme.

"Aren't you living quite well now? Zhao Meng worships you like a goddess, as for your parents' vengeance...they didn't even know they were your parents!

It's already the apocalypse, being alive is good enough, don't think about it too much, let it go."

Wang Hao spoke softly.

Letting go of hatred and living a good life with Zhao Meng was Li Qian's best choice.

With the protection of the powerful Superpower User Zhao Hu, she could do whatever she pleased in the factory.

Her current life was a dream for many.

However, humans are emotional beings, not machines.

"Impossible! They killed my parents, took my supplies, this grudge, I must avenge, even if it kills me!"

Li Qian resolutely refused, her eyes shining with animosity, she said through gritted teeth.

"Alright then, take your time avenging, I'm not getting involved."

Wang Hao shrugged.

He had no interest in these matters.

After all, he's neither a policeman!

Nor a judge.

Besides, he thought Zhao Hu and his brother were just acting normally.

Apocalyptic survival of the fittest!

They're powerful, taking supplies, killing others, it's normal!

If it were him, he might do the same.

The women in the Phoenix Pavilion, many probably share similar fates as Li Qian.

Just that Li Qian is luckier, she has Zhao Meng as a lapdog!

"Please, help me, if you're willing to go against Zhao Hu and his brother, I'll do anything."

Li Qian knelt with a thud in front of Wang Hao, then looked up at him.

Seeing her pitiful appearance.

Wang Hao smirked, finding it a bit amusing:

"Do you think I'm lacking women? Although you're quite pretty, but pardon my honesty, Zhou Yun, even Zhang Xiaoxiao is prettier than you.

In this steel factory, there are probably many women as attractive as you, you can't be naive and think, just because Zhao Meng treasures you, every man wants to be your lapdog?"

Li Qian fell silent.

She was indeed pretty, once a class beauty, even a small campus beauty.

Otherwise, Zhao Meng wouldn't have pursued her so persistently.

But what about it?

Can she compare with Zhou Yun?

She can't even surpass Zhang Xiaoxiao.

Trying to rely on her body to have Wang Hao take the risk to fight Zhao Hu was indeed far-fetched.

"I still say, forget about everything before, live well with Zhao Meng!

That kid still seems decent, most importantly, his stamina is good, right?"

Wang Hao chuckled, patting Li Qian's head:

"I'll pretend today's meeting never happened, I'm leaving soon, and I'll keep your secret."

With that, he turned to leave.

"I know a big secret about Zhao Hu!"

Seeing Wang Hao about to leave, Li Qian hurriedly threw out her bargaining chip.

Wang Hao was taken aback.

Another who knows a big secret?

What secret?

Could it be the immunity to corpse poison?

If Zhao Hu is also immune to corpse poison, Wang Hao figured it might be a passive effect of becoming a superpower user.

"State your terms!"

Wang Hao stretched, leaning back against the wall.

"After the meteorite explosion, while my father was out gathering supplies with others, he found a strange jade stone.

About the size of a human head.

Inside the Crystal Stone was a creature never seen before, with rhythmic red flashes inside, it's undoubtedly a treasure.

Zhao Hu took all our supplies, that jade stone surely ended up with him."

"Oh?"

Wang Hao's eyes lit up slightly.

Could it be something extraterrestrial?

Rhythmic red flashes?

Could it be alive?

If this thing is taken to the Settlement Camp, it could definitely fetch a sky-high price.

It has tremendous research value.

"Interesting, but it's not much use to me! Plus, it seems quite dangerous."

Wang Hao said flatly.

He showed little interest.

He's not short of money and doesn't need to risk fetching this thing.

Besides, it's best not to mess with unknown things.

Otherwise, if what's inside hatches, it might just kill him.
