"Hmm...."

Wang Hao fell silent.

He thought Tang Rui was a pretty good kid.

Leaving aside everything else, just being able to fly was quite impressive.

He was tempted to recruit him into his team.

The journey to Purple Gold Mountain was fraught with dangers; having one more superpower user could slightly tip the odds in their favor.

Moreover, if he could absorb him into his camp, it would be ideal.

Among his subordinates, there was not yet a superpower user.

Tang Rui was a college student, rather straightforward in mindset.

He got along well with everyone, didn't have the air of wanting to be a leader, and didn't appear to have any ambition.

Coupled with Wang Han's restraint, it was almost perfect.

Unfortunately, it wasn't up to him alone to make decisions here.

He wasn't sure how things went between him and Yang Tian.

If they really clashed, given Yang Tian's vengeful nature, it was certain he wouldn't let him off easily.

Then Zhao Hu and the others asked some questions to the other people.

They had a general understanding of the situation here.

Apart from Tang Rui and Wang Han, the other people here were staff members.

They weren't locals; some were out working and left late. With the snow piling up, they decided to stay as the supermarket had heating.

Others were just on duty at the place.

Eventually, they stayed here all the while.

Initially, there were more people, but after some ghouls sneaked in, several people were killed.

The rest could only hide in the storage room, trembling with fear.

That was until Tang Rui and Wang Han arrived.

Tang Rui took care of the monsters inside, blocked some entrances, and only then did they dare to come out.

It had to be said that these people were quite fortunate.

In the extreme cold, far too many people died from hunger and cold.

Yet they were able to huddle together for warmth in the supermarket, which not only had a lot of food but also a backup generator.

Connecting a heater, they lived much better than those outside.

Even the meteorite didn't hit them.

Sometimes, choices truly matter.

One step into paradise, another into hell.

Hearing what these people said, Li Qian's eyes flickered a few times.

Her family too never worried about food or drink before.

If it weren't for encountering Zhao Hu and Zhao Meng, she believed her family would still be living happily now.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of empathy.

She developed a bit of sympathy for Wang Han and the others, with an impulse to help them.

Of course, it was just a fleeting thought.

Being insignificant, what could she even do?

She could sway Zhao Meng, but not Zhao Hu, let alone Yang Tian or Wang Hao.

If she spoke up, not only would she fail to save these people, but she'd also incur Zhao Hu and the others' displeasure.

About two hours passed.

It had turned dark.

Zhao Hu instructed someone to light candles for illumination.

Yang Tian returned, cursing.

He was now clothed.

Probably got the clothes from the clothing section in the supermarket.

"How did it go?"

Zhao Hu passed a bottle of Maotai to him.

Yang Tian took a few gulps:

"Ugh, don't even start. Got into a fight with him, was about to win when the bastard unexpectedly took flight.

Looked like a giant bat, son of a bitch even threw stuff at me. After a bit of chasing, even monsters were drawn to us, so I just returned."

"Good thing you're not hurt."

Wang Hao said with a smile.

"Heh, just a measly bat, how could it possibly hurt me?"

Yang Tian chuckled smugly:

"Although he got away, he was hit with my venom. Even if it doesn't kill him, he's bound to suffer."

"Brother Tian is incredibly powerful, naturally not something some kid could compare to."

Wang Hao laughed, raising a toast to him.

He gave a flattering compliment, greatly showing him face.

Yet it was clear to those in the know that Yang Tian seemed to have also sustained injuries.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically gotten dressed up.

Someone like him had exhibitionist tendencies.

"What should we do with these people?"

Zhao Meng furrowed his brows and inquired.

Now that Tang Rui had escaped, he was a superpower user, still quite a threat.

It's not the thief's stealing that's feared, but rather the thief's mind.

He proposed letting these people go and forging some goodwill.

After all, they were just a few women; aside from Wang Han, the others weren't particularly attractive.

No need to stir up more trouble.

"What should we do?"

Yang Tian raised an eyebrow, pulling Wang Han over and toying with her.

Wang Han bit her lip, tears almost falling, yet didn't dare to resist.

She was a smart woman.

In this scenario, resistance would only bring more pain and change nothing.

"Do whatever you want, have fun, I'm hoping that bat comes."

"Mmm! That kid has something, and I have a few questions for him. If he comes back for revenge, all the better."

Zhao Hu also voiced his agreement.

His attitude was miraculously the same as Yang Tian's.

Beastman form, partial beastification, these were things he didn't know before.

Now everyone was feeling their way through the dark.

Tang Rui had already explored it.

Gaining his experience could save them from many detours.

Besides, they didn't see Tang Rui as much of a threat.

In single combat, they were confident in victory, not to mention there were three and a half superpower users here.

Wang Hao shrugged.

Since both bosses agreed, he naturally wouldn't say more.

He greeted everyone briefly, then carried Xiaoyueyue to another side.

If they wanted to play, let them play.

He'd just stay out of it.

Soon, screams and curses began to echo.

Everyone started to get physical.

Initially, many weren't that resistant to sleeping with someone.

This was the end of the world; compared to life, what was it to sleep with someone?

In the steel factory, a pack of instant noodles would have someone accompanying you for a night, treating you as comfortably as possible.

But these people were perverts.

No longer restrained by the steel factory, plus wanting to provoke Tang Rui's hatred to lure him back for vengeance.

They intended to play however they wished.

Go all out!

Especially Yang Tian.

This guy was a pervert by nature.

Wang Han, that pure college student, would likely be ruined in his hands.

"Sigh..."

Wang Hao sighed deeply.

He still had some conscience and a sense of justice.

Such matters truly irked him.

But what could he do?

Turn against Yang Tian and Zhao Hu for these strangers?

Fight to the death?

Sorry, he wasn't that foolish.

This was just a small snapshot of the apocalypse.

Even if he could stop it this once, what about elsewhere?

He couldn't even halt many vile acts in the steel factory; these were the laws of the apocalypse, beyond his power, and indeed anyone's, to change.

The powerless could at most be like those keyboard warriors, raging at disgusting news or plotlines in the comments below, saying what they might do if it were them, how they'd not care, and whatnot.

Later claiming they'd do this and that...

Wang Hao was much like them, merely grumbling quietly in his heart.

Li Qian and Zhao Meng also came over.

They, too, were evidently averse to such actions.

Especially Li Qian, whose face bore an incredibly harsh expression.

Clearly, what these people did reminded her of some unpleasant things.

"What? Can't stand it?"

Wang Hao smiled, handing over two lollipops.
