The Zhou Brothers are now truly at the end of their rope.

No matter whether Zhou Gang and his people are still around or not, it's all in vain if he doesn't return.

Wang Hao, by relying on resources, made those small groups submit, gathering a large following, and is now seizing the opportunity to win over their people.

You could say that now, aside from the women in the villa, the two brothers are practically alone and powerless.

Those women are no use, most of them were forcibly taken.

If Wang Hao really attacks, the first to switch sides would probably be them.

"Sigh... what else can we do? The situation is lost."

Zhou Feng took a deep drag from his cigarette, leaned back on the sofa, and exhaled slowly, a bitter smile appearing on his face:

"After all the hard work, I didn't expect to be making someone else a wedding dress."

"Should we run?"

Zhou Peng was somewhat reluctant.

The villa district was very safe, with no shortage of supplies or women.

And he had a bunch of people at his beck and call.

During that time, he was very content.

If possible, he didn't want to leave.

However, if they didn't leave now, they might die.

But could they still escape?

The gate was blocked by zombies, and clearing it completely might have to wait until tomorrow.

By then, it would be too late.

If they didn't use the gate, they could run now, but they couldn't use a car, and the supplies they could carry would be limited.

The outside was nothing like in here, filled with zombies and ghouls.

Most of the easily accessible supplies were probably already collected.

Without enough supplies, they would starve to death.

"Brother, we..."

"Don't worry, even though the situation is bleak, we're not at the end yet."

Zhou Feng patted Zhou Peng on the shoulder.

He stood up and walked to the balcony, looking towards Wang Hao's villa:

"This time I miscalculated slightly, but their weapons are still with me.

I can use them as leverage in negotiations with him. Besides, after dealing with the monsters, those outside will be exhausted.

They won't have much energy left to deal with us, Lin Yuennan is formidable, but I heard she was injured too.

Moreover, our people also have concerns; since they followed us in committing some misdeeds, they're also afraid of retribution later.

By exploiting this gap, we can leave safely, without much problem."

The more Zhou Peng listened, the brighter his eyes became.

Although he still didn't quite understand, it felt like his brother's analysis was thorough and impressive.

Next morning, at dawn.

With everyone's concerted effort, the monsters outside the villa were finally cleared.

Exhausted, everyone returned to sleep after a hearty breakfast.

Wang Hao organized another group of people to clean up the monsters.

In the post-apocalyptic world, the elderly, women, and children couldn't expect much preferential treatment; they also needed to work.

Zhou Feng's vehicle drove out from the villa.

It turned out to be an RV.

Zhou Feng was always very cautious.

Even though his situation was previously bright, he still prepared an escape route for himself.

The RV wasn't his, but finding an RV in the Blue Sky Villa District was relatively easy.

The interior of the RV was filled with food.

There were also two women inside.

Famous actress Chen Ru, naturally, had to be brought along, and there was another beautiful woman, whose looks were no less than Chen Ru's.

The RV barely started driving a short distance.

Lin Yuennan's figure appeared.

Zhou Feng didn't force it; he stopped the vehicle.

He even got out of the RV.

"Hand over the guns."

Lin Yuennan said flatly.

"Alright, I'll tell you the location of the guns, and you let us go."

Zhou Feng didn't waste words and stated his condition.

Lin Yuennan: ...

"What? You've almost taken control of the entire Blue Sky Villa District.

You've got resources, guns, and an intimidating figure like you, are you still afraid I'll come back for revenge?"

Zhou Feng said with a hint of amusement.

"You are very capable."

Lin Yuennan looked at him and said calmly.

Clearly, both she and Wang Hao were very wary of Zhou Feng.

Especially Wang Hao.

If it weren't for some hints, he felt he would surely have fallen at Zhou Feng's hands.

This is a man of hero caliber.

"Heh, you're overestimating me. It's the apocalypse now, without resources or people, what can I do?"

Zhou Feng gave a bitter smile.

He had lost his first pot of gold.

Making a comeback, how difficult is that?

Rely on brainpower?

There are just too many smart people in this world.

Lin Yuennan remained silent.

Clearly, she still wasn't willing to let Zhou Feng go.

"I just want to leave safely; if you want it to end in mutual destruction, it's all the same to me.

I might as well fight you; it can't be worse to die now than to keep suffering alive."

Zhou Feng's hand reached for the gun on his waist, a flash of madness in his eyes.

He looked ready to risk everything.

"Let him go."

Amid the standoff, Wang Hao's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

The tense atmosphere between both parties eased up.

"You can go; where's the location of the guns?"

Lin Yuennan asked Zhou Feng coldly.

Zhou Feng didn't waste words and directly revealed the hiding spot of the firearms.

"You may leave."

Lin Yuennan put away her gun and was about to head to where the guns were hidden.

"Aren't you afraid I might trick you?"

Zhou Feng asked with some surprise.

Under normal procedures, Lin Yuennan should notify others to retrieve the items, releasing them only after verifying them.

But now Lin Yuennan was letting them leave directly.

This seemed a bit hasty.

"Didn't you also trust I wouldn't go back on my word?"

Lin Yuennan gave a slight smile and left without looking back.

Zhou Feng squinted slightly.

He revealed it directly because Lin Yuennan was an active special forces soldier.

Such individuals have a sense of "honor."

Once they agree to something, they generally don't go back on it.

Additionally! They had just subdued the villa district's residents, and credibility was crucial.

If they broke their word, it would be hard to lead the team later.

On the other hand, Lin Yuennan was different.

She couldn't trust him since he was essentially a cunning merchant.

Confidence!

She had complete confidence in herself.

If he deceived her, she was confident she'd catch up to him, find him, and kill him.

It appeared Lin Yuennan was much stronger than he had imagined.

"Phew~~"

Zhou Feng let out a long breath, feeling a slight tingling on his scalp.

Leave!

Now he only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

In the apocalypse, it's all about power; without enough time to strategize, brainpower has little use.

Especially now, with Lin Yuennan obtaining the guns.

"The second brother might be gone."

After getting into the RV, Zhou Feng said, stepping on the gas pedal.

The smile on Zhou Peng's face instantly froze.
