"What? Still can't figure it out?"

Yang Xin glanced sideways at the bewildered Zhang Xiaoxiao and shook his head helplessly:

"You didn't think that just because we slept together a few times, I'd be under your thumb, did you?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao felt like her head was about to explode.

She had another identity, which was Zhao Hu's inside agent.

Yes!

She had previously collaborated with Zhao Hu.

Though she was just Yang Tian's slave, she was, after all, someone Yang Tian kept around.

Still very useful.

She also wanted to escape the life of a dog slave.

And Zhao Hu wanted to get rid of Yang Tian.

The two hit it off immediately.

When Wang Hao arrived, she revealed Yang Tian's secret to him, hoping Wang Hao would cooperate with Zhao Hu to eliminate Yang Tian.

Once Yang Tian was taken out, Zhao Hu could give her what she wanted.

Through her partnership with Zhao Hu, she also connected with Yang Xin.

Zhang Xiaoxiao's ambitions were enormous.

If Zhao Hu and Yang Tian ended up mutually destroying each other, or even perishing together, then Yang Xin could take power.

By then, she would assist from the side.

With her intellect, the leadership of this steel mill would ultimately be hers.

This time, when instigating the rebellion, she couldn't convince Zhou Yun, so she sought out Yang Xin.

Originally trying to deal with the two of them separately was unrealistic.

If one was shot, the other would surely be on guard.

So she had to collaborate with Yang Xin, the agent who controlled most of the steel mill's men.

After taking out Chen Zhan, she'd escape with Yang Xin and the men and resources.

She could be the woman behind Yang Xin, or even seize the opportunity to take him out and become the boss herself.

However, the dream was lush, but the reality was harsh.

Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly; from the start, no one intended to play with her.

She was like a clown, entertaining herself here.

"Why?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at Yang Xin, still not understanding why Yang Xin betrayed her.

He could have easily been the boss!

"Why? Are you stupid? I'm living well here. Women, food, I have all I want.

One rank below the top, above thousands. Why should I risk going out with you?

You've stayed sheltered at the steel mill and haven't seen the terror of the monsters, but I have!

Those level-two monsters are beyond our capabilities to handle.

Without the protection of superpower users, nowhere is truly safe. Even if we made it to the settlement camp, would it really be better than my current life?"

Yang Xin looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao as if she were a fool.

"Zhang Xiaoxiao, not everyone is as ambitious as you. To bite off more than you can chew is a simple truth you fail to see?

Your abilities define your position. Leading an uprising? Are you bored out of your mind?"

Chen Zhan shook his head helplessly.

He initially thought Zhang Xiaoxiao was very clever and had offered plenty of advice to Yang Tian, yet he now found her foolish.

Her vision was too narrow.

Frankly, she was all hair and no intelligence.

Of course, it wasn't entirely her fault.

After all, she hadn't actually fought monsters, let alone level-two ones.

When monsters invaded, all she saw was them being easily killed under Zhao Hu and Yang Tian's command.

She possibly developed some illusions because of that.

Thinking monsters weren't that scary.

But only they knew the true terror of those creatures.

Even with guns, they were largely ineffective. Without the protection of superpower users, there was no sense of security.

Dangerous affairs were for the bosses to handle.

They only needed to follow orders, and many tasks didn't require them to act personally; they could delegate to subordinates.

Meanwhile, they could enjoy a variety of beauties and fill their bellies with food.

Wasn't that better than going out to be some ridiculous boss?

Zhang Xiaoxiao;...

She suddenly realized she might have been too naive.

Indeed!

Not everyone is highly ambitious; many are even passive players.

Getting by until the end is good enough for them.

Especially Yang Xin and Chen Zhan, these small fry at the bottom.

Suddenly, she trembled all over.

She looked at the gun in Chen Zhan's hand.

A chill ran from her behind straight to her head.

Could this all be a trap set by Wang Hao against her?

Impossible, right?

Could Wang Hao have such deep cunning?

"Sigh... Zhang Xiaoxiao, you're quite bold, daring to take anything others give you.

Haven't you heard that seizing a treasure incurs guilt?

Holding a gun, are you in such a hurry to die? Yet you insanely contemplate rebellion.

You've really got some nerve!"

Chen Zhan polished the gun in his hand, a wicked smile on his lips.

His gaze roamed all over Zhang Xiaoxiao, unashamed of his fervent eyes.

The others were readying themselves eagerly.

Zhang Xiaoxiao felt ice-cold, her face full of despair.

She turned to Yang Xin, hoping he would at least let her die with some dignity.

But Yang Xin only gave a cruel smile.

"Zhang Xiaoxiao has guts, to think of rebellion like this. It's a crime deserving death. Whatever happens, neither Brother Hu nor Brother Tian will say anything.

Even Wang Hao has no reason to stand up for her. Everyone's been quite bored lately, why not have some fun with a train ride?

Seems like it's been a while since we had one."

Hearing 'train ride', Zhang Xiaoxiao felt like she couldn't breathe.

"Haha! Just what I wanted. Brother Xin, you've tasted this little girl, but I haven't yet!

How about letting me go first this time?"

Chen Zhan rubbed his hands together, clearly very interested in Zhang Xiaoxiao.

Of course, it wasn't just about her looks; there were women prettier than Zhang Xiaoxiao.

But the thrill of messing with the boss's woman was something others couldn't offer.

"Haha! No problem, you first, I'll go last!"

Yang Xin laughed heartily and agreed without hesitation.

"Everyone, go line up outside, and notify everyone to get ready and come line up too!"

"Got it!"

"No! Don't! Please, don't!!!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao finally broke down completely.

She began to scream and shout.

But no one would listen to her anymore.

Wang Hao!

I hate you!

I won't forgive you, even as a ghost!!!
