Luo Xin had initially refused.
After all, with the society as it was now, who could know how many people had hearts of beasts beneath human faces? Who knew if Zhang Ye was one of them?
But after careful consideration, it seemed she had no other choice.
Her family was out of town, her parents always busy.
Where could she go?
Back to school?
The thought of the crowded scenes at school made her scalp tingle—wasn't that just courting death?
After much deliberation, she decided to follow Zhang Ye after all.
But just as Luo Xin had stepped into the elevator, she saw that Zhang Ye had already pressed the button for the fourth floor and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you going there for?"
"To find someone."
The elevator soon arrived.
As the doors opened, trash littered the floor, coming into view.
Zhang Ye frowned as he stepped over a garbage can at his feet and entered the empty hallway.
"Where is everyone?"
Could they all be hiding?
As he looked at room after room, firmly shut, a plan suddenly formed in his mind.
Ding—
The elevator opened again.
About a dozen unsteady figures walked out.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The woman hiding inside immediately began to scream in terror.
The knocking from outside abruptly stopped, then instantly grew more forceful as it began to pound on the door.
The violent impacts were like drum beats striking fear into everyone's hearts until the sound of a door being broken open was heard.
"Boom!"
"Arrgh!"
Several zombies rushed in through the broken door.
The woman hiding on the bed was immediately swarmed by them, one pulling at an arm, another at a leg, quickly dragging her out of the room.
A similar scene unfolded in almost every room, with the sounds of doors being broken open following in succession.
There were roars, screams, and even moans.
Zhang Ye, looking at the couple still joined on the bed, one of whom was Li Xiaomei, who had earlier been in service of Director Huang in the corridor, couldn't help but remark:
"You really are a whore, aren't you?"
Just one second before he entered, the two had still been connected.
And had even reached the climax.
Sickening.
The survivors from the dozen rooms were quickly dragged out, each filled with fear and confusion.
They looked at the stiff, darkened feet on either side and didn't dare to lift their heads.
"Who knows how to drive?"
Just then, a man's voice rose above the terror in everyone's ears.
It sounded somewhat familiar.
Zhao Jun couldn't help but look up to steal a glance.
"Director Zhang?"
"It's you!"
He looked at Zhang Ye, astonished, wondering why the zombies on either side didn't attack him?
Moreover, the dozen zombies standing behind him were unmistakably the same group that had ridden the elevator from the first floor, with two looking particularly familiar.
Holy crap!
Zhao Jun was shocked!
Weren't these the same two zombies that had dislocated his jaw and broken his leg?
Suddenly, the scene of Zhang Ye courageously saving him from these two zombies flashed through his mind!
Could it be that they two—
"I had initially planned to interact with you all as a regular person."
"Yet what I received in return was alienation."
"No point pretending anymore."
"I am the Zombie King, I'm laying my cards on the table!"
Zhang Ye looked seriously at the shocked Zhao Jun and continued word by word:
"They two are actually with me."
"As for your leg—"
"Of course, it was under my orders that they broke it."
"If you feel dissatisfied, you can tell me; I can have them break the other two of your legs right now."
The murmurs of surprise that had just started in the crowd instantly quieted down again.
"Where is Director Huang?"
"What have you done to Director Huang?"
Someone suddenly remembered Director Huang who had gone up with Zhang Ye and stood up to ask.
Zhang Ye arched his eyebrows but did not say a word.
```
Two zombies instantly pounced on him and pinned him to the ground, unleashing a fierce beating, one of them even viciously stepping on the guy's fifth leg.
"Crack!"
"Aaaaah!"
Chickens flying and eggs breaking.
Screams echoed in the dimly lit corridor.
The crowd became as silent as the dead, the remaining few male survivors subconsciously squeezing their thighs together.
Zhao Jun's face turned red, but he dared not speak again.
Zhang Ye nodded with satisfaction.
Show off for a moment of thrill, the more you show off, the more thrilled he becomes.
No wonder so many people turn into patriots with just a little power. They really can't control their urge to show off.
He was about to repeat the question he had just asked when suddenly a man scrambled out of the crowd.
"I, I! I can drive!"
"Hehe!"
The man looked up at Zhang Ye, revealing a face full of ingratiating features and somewhat familiar.
"Yu Yonggao?"
Zhang Ye was somewhat surprised.
The man before him was actually Li Xiaomei's wimpy husband.
He observed the servility on the man's face, and the flash of anger in his eyes, and suddenly understood.
Yu Yonggao looked up at Zhang Ye with eyes full of supplication and a hint of begging.
He needed this opportunity.
And Zhang Ye also needed a pawn to control the hotel.
Their needs matched perfectly, and very soon Yu Yonggao led Zhang Ye to Huang Zhigang's room and retrieved his car keys from inside.
A nearly brand-new black Land Rover.
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Ye looked at Luo Xin, with her country bumpkin in the city expression, and couldn't help but ask.
The woman was completely entranced, caressing the car's interior, and only after several seconds did she come back to her senses and said with deep emotion,
"I never imagined someone like me would be kept one day."
"Fate really plays tricks on people!"
Upon returning to the villa area, the woman was shocked again.
She looked at the splendidly ornate gates of the community, her voice becoming stuttered, "Isn't this Sanjiang City's most expensive villa area?"
"Yes."
Zhang Ye nodded beside her.
"From now on, this is our turf."
"Ours?"
"I have a share too?"
Luo Xin asked in shock. Are there really such good men in the world?
Provided with food and drink, and even a villa to live in?
"Of course you have!"
"Pick any villa you like later on!"
Zhang Ye pushed past a zombie security guard blocking the gate and pulled the woman's hand to walk inside.
"Or how about a swimming pool?"
"It's so hot out. It must be super comfortable to relax in the water!"
"Looking at your complexion, you must like to exercise, right?"
"There's a court over there!"
"It's yours!"
As they chatted, they saw several zombies pushing carts filled with snacks running along the road.
Luo Xin's eyes were glued to them.
Seeing this, Zhang Ye immediately pointed to the cart of expensive snacks and said, "See that?"
"Those are the company's afternoon tea."
"Help yourself."
"As long as you join the company, the car, the house, the courts, all yours."
"How about it? Wanna work for me?"
It was like the devil whispering in her ear; Luo Xin felt her head spinning as she listened. Just a few hours ago, she was awaiting death in a machine room, and now suddenly life was this good?
Could it be a beautiful dream as she was about to starve to death?
She didn't know what the company was.
But.
With such benefits, wouldn't it be a huge loss not to join?
"Yes!"
"I'll do it!"
"I'll do anything!"
Luo Xin nodded decisively, seizing the opportunity that might never come again, to reach the pinnacle of life tonight!
"Excellent, hahaha!"
"From today on, you are my slave, Zhang Ye!"
