After watching Caitlin eat and drink well... Stark tidied up the remaining food and put it back into the system space. Then, he said calmly, "Alright, since your basic problem has been solved, then it's my turn to speak.
"Caitlin, actually, there's another reason why I didn't kill you just now."
"Huh? There's another reason."
Caitlin, who had just eaten her fill, was stunned.
She naively thought that Stark was unwilling to kill her because he simply wanted to fuck her for fun.
She didn't expect there to be another reason.
"That's right. Didn't you just say that what you did had a lot to do with a bandit gang?
"The bandit group must have plundered a lot of resources and spirit crystals through this method."
Stark said blandly. Then, he looked at Caitlin with a serious look.
"Caitlin, do you know that in this apocalyptic era, where zombies are rampant, all resources are extremely important?
"If it were another situation, I might have harmed you even if you didn't come to rob me.
"Because in this era, there is no such thing as fairness. The weak will always be robbed and killed by the strong.
"The only thing a person can do is to become stronger.
"So, do you want to free yourself from the control of that bandit group? I need you to bring me back to that stronghold!
"You don't have to worry about what happens next. Just leave it to me!"
Stark's voice rang in her ears.
Seeing that he did not seem to be joking, Caitlin exclaimed in shock. It was as if she had already confirmed the outcome without even thinking. Her expression turned to panic as she exclaimed at Stark repeatedly.
"No! Sir, I advise you not to go. There are Transcendents there. The bandits there are simply devils from hell!
"God, even if I think about the scene of them killing people now, my body will tremble uncontrollably in fear.
"Even if you have the ability to kill zombies, I can only give you one piece of advice: don't go!"
"It's okay. You don't have to worry about my plan. You just need to bring me to the place."
A simple sentence from Stark left Caitlin speechless.
In the end, Caitlin had no choice but to bring Stark to the location of the bandit group.
...
On the other side.
Lancaster Estate.
In the Doomsday era, all the door locks had become decorations. They were either smashed open by the zombies or by the humans who were trying to survive.
In a residential building.
On the first floor, the door of an apartment was left ajar. Judging from the decoration of the door, the owner of this house should have a good income.
However, surprisingly, in this zombie-infested world, the door of this house was slightly open, as if the residents were not afraid of a zombie suddenly charging into the house.
If one looked into the house through the door gap, one could see a strong man in a vest eating something in the house.
In front of him was a long red object.
A bloody human corpse!
This scene alone was enough to scare a lot of people.
The man acted as if he didn't see the corpse, enjoying the barbecue in front of him.
On the other side, pieces of dog meat that had been cut and washed were placed on a plate on the table. They were prepared and smeared with oil.
Under the table, there was a floor full of dog fur.
While the man was enjoying the dog leg roasted meat, he did not forget to take a small jar of salt and sprinkle it on the roasted meat. Then, he took a large mouthful.
"Mmm, the roasted meat tastes good today. As expected of the pet dog of a rich family. It is unusually good. The fat and lean muscles are just right. The meat is also tender! When paired with the roasted crispy skin, it's absolutely wonderful!
"Haha, in this apocalypse where everyone has to save even a piece of bread, this Lord Mycroft has already begun to enjoy the roasted dog meat!
"Now that I think about it, the life in the apocalypse is pretty good!"
Mycroft enjoyed the roast meat in his hands and said with great interest.
Mycroft was 32 years old this year. When he was 20, he was already on the run because he had raped several women. Finally, he hid in the downtown area of Manhattan.
When the end of the world came, he was surrounded by zombies. In extreme despair, he suddenly awakened as a Transcendent and gained his ability: Steel Skin!
He was already in a desperate situation, so he activated his ability, and his skin became as hard as steel. He withstood several zombies head-on and allowed them to bite him. Next, he directly broke through the zombies' encirclement and survived.
After successfully escaping...
Mycroft, who had awakened as a Transcendent, could not hide his evil nature. He began to rob, kill, and set fire. He enjoyed these things as a hobby.
Currently, the door of the room was undamaged.
It was not difficult to see that Mycroft had disguised himself as a refugee and persuaded the owner of the room to open the door for him.
As soon as he entered the house, he brutally killed the owner and occupied it as his own.
It was already the third day of the apocalypse. From the group photo on the living room wall, it could be seen that there were originally five members of the family: father, mother, one elder brother, and two younger sisters.
At this moment, there was a male corpse lying in the room, indicating what had happened to these people.
"Hey, Mycroft, be careful with your food. How many meals have you had today? If you continue eating like this, in another two or three days, we will have no food again!"
A cold shout came from the side, interrupting Mycroft, who was enjoying the delicious food in the living room.
As soon as the voice fell, a woman in black walked out of the room.
The woman had long, wavy hair and was about 1.75 meters tall. The black tights she wore made her long legs and D-cup tits stand out to the extreme. She was wearing black high-heeled shoes, looking gorgeous.
She gave people a smart yet cold and arrogant feeling.
The woman looked as if she had just woken up. She even lazily combed her hair when she came out.
Mycroft was annoyed by the woman's rebuke, but he didn't say anything.
In fact, the woman in black was the leader of their bandit group.
That was how the Black Rose Bandit Group got its name.
"What? Chris, it's just a meal. Besides, we still have a loaf of bread in the house for the next two days. What's there to be afraid of?
"Besides..."
A sinister look appeared on Mycroft's face as he ate the dog leg.
"Didn't we send out a woman to help us find food today? She should be back by now. If she doesn't bring back any food, hehe, we can just treat her as food!"
