The next day, some of the monsters outside had already dispersed.

Zhao Meng's mood was relatively stable; although he didn't speak to Zhao Hu, he didn't make a fuss either.

He just hovered near the fragile Li Qian, afraid she might get hurt again.

Zhao Hu tried to talk to Zhao Meng several times, but Zhao Meng avoided him each time.

There was nothing Zhao Hu could do, and he thought it unwise to lose his temper either.

After all, he was at fault first.

The group decided to set off today.

Yang Tian looked at the only bodyguard.

The bodyguard revealed a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth.

He knew very well what awaited him next.

"Go inside. There's food and women in there. I'll give you two hours, be gentle, I still have use for you."

Yang Tian patted the bodyguard on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Brother Tian!"

The bodyguard's eyes lit up, and a rare joy appeared on his otherwise lifeless face.

"You deserve it."

This was yet another rule of the apocalypse.

When someone volunteered to sacrifice themselves, at the very least, they should be allowed to die on a full stomach.

If there were women, the most beautiful should be offered to him for enjoyment.

Back at the steel plant, those willing to join search parties to brave the outside world for supplies.

Would get some food to feast upon, and could also use this food to have a carefree night at the Phoenix Pavilion.

With this, even if they died, they would have no regrets.

The bodyguard originally thought that having one last sumptuous meal was good enough, but didn't expect Yang Tian to generously offer him Wang Han.

Soon, enchanting sounds came from the room.

Li Qian instinctively hid behind Zhao Meng, clutching the corner of his clothes.

Clearly, it reminded her of previous unpleasant events.

Wang Hao fished a lollipop out of Xiaoyueyue's pocket, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth.

He found all of this quite interesting.

These were all apocalypse experiences, life lessons.

Things he would never have learned staying in the villa.

Rarely do novels portray this, after all.

Those are all fantasies, whereas reality is often far more outrageous and brutal than fiction.

Two hours later.

The bodyguard came out of the office, fulfilled.

Wang Han came out alongside him.

There were faint tears glistening in her eyes.

She felt a great sense of grievance inside.

But she did not resist.

She was a very smart woman, knowing what she should and shouldn't do.

Plus, the bodyguard was more handsome than Yang Tian, the One-Eyed Dragon.

And he was gentle with her.

She found it acceptable, though worried Yang Tian might discard her.

"Are you ready?"

Yang Tian looked at the bodyguard and said calmly.

"Yes! Give me a quick end."

The bodyguard closed his eyes.

"No problem."

Yang Tian drew the dagger from his waist and slit the guard's throat in one swift motion, and the body gradually slumped to the ground.

Zhao Hu brought a bucket to drain the blood.

Li Qian and Wang Han turned away in fright, not daring to look.

However, Xiaoyueyue blinked at the scene, without a hint of fear.

After draining the blood, they began dismembering the body.

...

Once all preparations were done, Yang Tian and Zhao Hu split into two groups.

They descended to the second floor, jumped down, splashing blood along the way, then placed the corpse at the endpoint.

A large number of zombies were drawn towards it.

The path they intended to take naturally cleared up.

Zhao Meng carried Li Qian, while Wang Hao had a tougher job, carrying Wang Han on his back and holding Xiaoyueyue in his arms.

After jumping down from the second floor, they moved swiftly.

Half an hour later, they regrouped at the designated spot.

Zhao Hu and Yang Tian were surprised.

"Tang Rui is quite composed. Such a good opportunity, and he didn't even make a move?"

Indeed!

The reason they adopted this approach was also to lure Tang Rui out into action.

Both Zhao Hu and Yang Tian, the superpower users, had left the group.

Zhao Meng was focused on protecting Li Qian, while Wang Hao prioritized Xiaoyueyue's safety.

Wang Hao even carried Wang Han on his back.

It was the perfect chance to rescue Wang Han!

Yet Tang Rui resisted the urge.

"Tang Rui, although young, is clearly a smart one."

Wang Hao pulled out a bottle of mineral water, opened it, and took a few gulps:

"Let's move on. Since he won't fall for it, let's deal with him once we leave this commercial area."

"That's all we can do."

Yang Tian wrapped an arm around Wang Han, using his fingers to lift her delicate chin:

"Seems like your boyfriend doesn't care much about you! But no worries, darling, I'll treat you better than he ever could.

As long as you stick with me, I'll make sure you're well protected."

"I will definitely do my best to serve my master."

Wang Han forced a smile.

Yang Tian had just let someone else fool around with her.

Now he says this, who would believe it?

But what else could she do?

She could only do her best to please him.

In this apocalypse, all she wanted was to live well.

Zhao Hu tried to talk to Zhao Meng.

However, Zhao Meng again dodged him.

This left Zhao Hu's eyes somewhat dim.

He glared fiercely at Li Qian, blaming her for causing a rift between him and his brother.

He still couldn't figure out what happened with him that night, how he ended up sleeping with her.

He was deeply caring towards his beloved brother.

After all, he should have had the sense to resist!

Li Qian flinched under his glare and hid behind Zhao Meng.

The group continued forward, surprisingly finding very few monsters behind them.

They didn't have to take many detours and smoothly passed through the commercial district.

What was going on?

Could it be there was a recent zombie horde here, and all the monsters charged some gathering place?

Or had they migrated for some other reason?

Either way, fewer monsters was a good thing.

The group smoothly passed through the commercial district, and soon enough they would reach the foot of Purple Gold Mountain.

"Whoa! How could this be!"

In the open space, Wang Hao launched the drone, using it to scout the condition of Purple Gold Mountain while cruising.

With fewer buildings here, there wouldn't be any signal interference.

The drone could fly very far.

Soon, he saw an astonishing sight.

At the foot of Purple Gold Mountain, a large number of monsters were gathered.

They were climbing up the mountain road.

Even on Purple Gold Mountain itself, the silhouettes of monsters could be vaguely seen.

Damn!

Has it been overrun by monsters?

"Could it be that these monsters have intelligence? Are they too drawn by the purple beam of light, trying to get to the mountain for treasure?"

Zhao Hu stared at the remote control screen, also in shock.

"This is tough now, there are so many monsters, if we go we'd be torn to shreds!"

Yang Tian frowned, already contemplating retreat.

He definitely wanted to seek treasure and grow stronger, but not at the cost of his own life!
