"You guys, get out of here right now!" Xiao Liu had a ferocious expression and pointed at Chen Chao, his two sisters, and the mother-daughter duo, saying, "Leave now!"
The middle-aged woman responded angrily, "You want us to leave? Not a chance!"
Xiao Liu immediately pointed his pistol at her and roared, "Say that again. Will you leave or not? Do you want me to shoot you?"
Seeing the dark muzzle of the gun, the middle-aged woman quickly took a few steps back, her face pale and her tone weakening. She begged, "Please, don't force us to leave. If you have to, just kick them three out. We only need a little food every day. Please!"
"You!" Chen Shiyu, who had originally felt sympathy for them, couldn't help but tremble with anger.
The middle-aged woman glared at her and said, "What are you saying? If it weren't for you three, we wouldn't be arguing at all. You're the ones who caused this! You're the fuse!"
Chen Shiyu felt angry in her heart and wanted to argue, but Chen Chao suddenly stopped her. He whispered softly, "It's okay. Let's go."
Fan Xiangyu looked at him in surprise and said, "Just like that? Are we leaving?" The implication seemed to be, given your personality, aren't you going to teach them a lesson?
"Less talk." Chen Chao glanced at her, took Chen Shiyu's hand, and prepared to leave. His exceptional hearing had just picked up that the zombies within a few miles of here seemed to have been disturbed by their argument and were wandering this way. He believed that it wouldn't be long before the basement door would be crowded with zombies.
Fan Xiangyu shrugged with an indifferent expression, stood up, patted her luxurious skirt, and stood behind him like a little bird.
Seeing Chen Chao and his companions leave so decisively, the people present were slightly stunned. They knew that outside were monsters that ate humans. Leaving here at night would undoubtedly be suicidal!
"You guys…" Ye Fei felt anxious. She didn't expect Chen Chao to be so impulsive and quickly blocked their path, saying, "These monsters have a keen sense of smell at night. If you leave here, they'll detect you. If you really want to go, I'll accompany you when it's daylight!"
Chen Chao remained calm and said, "No, thank you for your kindness."
Ye Fei was anxious and said, "Why are you so stubborn? This is not the time to sulk. Don't you think about your two sisters? Do you want to watch them get eaten by those monsters?"
Chen Chao glanced at her and said, "I have my own way. Don't worry about it. Move aside."
"You…" Ye Fei felt like she was wasting her breath on him and wanted to stamp her foot in frustration.
The middle-aged man surnamed Huang said, "Officer Ye, since they insist on leaving, just let them go. They must have their own way. Why should you be so persistent?"
Ye Fei didn't expect this usually polite and successful man to say such cold-blooded words. She glared at him and said, "They're leaving because you forced them!"
"Officer Ye, you can't say it like that. Even if we forced them, they're willing to go, so just let them go," the middle-aged man surnamed Huang said seriously.
The mother-daughter duo couldn't wait for Chen Chao and his companions to leave so that they wouldn't be blamed. They immediately echoed, "Yes, yes, Officer Ye, don't stop them. Let them go."
Xiao Liu looked at the mother and daughter and shouted, "You two, go with them!"
The mother and daughter trembled. They didn't expect Xiao Liu to still hold a grudge against them. The middle-aged woman immediately knelt down and磕头 begged, "Xiao Liu, please. Don't do this. We'll always remember your kindness. In our next life, we'll serve you as slaves to repay you…" As she spoke, her forehead hit the ground with a loud bang.
This humble posture did not elicit sympathy but rather contempt. Xiao Liu rushed forward, kicked her on the shoulder, and roared, "Get out of here! I don't need your repayment. Leave now, or I'll force you!"
"Please…" The middle-aged woman was kicked to the ground. She endured the pain and immediately got up, hugging his leg and crying.
Xiao Liu kicked her away and roared, "You two, drag her out!"
The middle-aged man surnamed Huang and another handsome young man, who were closest to her, hesitated to see the middle-aged woman crying sadly.
"Are you going to drag her or not?" Xiao Liu waved his gun and roared.
The middle-aged man surnamed Huang was accustomed to pleasing everyone in the workplace and didn't like to easily offend others. But seeing that there was no way back, a ferocious expression appeared on his face. He was the first to take the middle-aged woman's arm. Seeing him take action, the other handsome young man also put aside his hesitation and quickly grabbed the other arm of the middle-aged woman, pulling her towards the door.
"No, please, don't…" The middle-aged woman cried loudly.
Xiao Liu's gaze fell on the eleven or twelve-year-old girl and kicked her, saying, "Hurry up and get out. Do you want me to hit you?"
The eleven or twelve-year-old girl cried and got up, chasing after her mother, who was the only one who could give her a sense of security.
Xiao Liu had a ferocious expression and scanned the remaining three people—a simple-looking young man, a mature woman in her mid-twenties, and a student named Xiao Li.
Xiao Liu's gaze fell on Xiao Li.
Xiao Li seemed to understand the coldness in his eyes and shuddered. She begged, "Don't force me to leave. I can do a lot of things. If you need it, I, I can sleep with you. I'm still a virgin, really. Please don't force me to leave…"
Xiao Liu's heart stirred, and his gaze instinctively scanned her chest. Although she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, she had already developed very well. He glanced at the mature woman's figure.
The mature woman was frightened and trembled slightly. She forced a smile and said, "I, I can do it too."
Xiao Liu looked at the two women, fell silent for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.
Seeing that he didn't say anything about kicking them out, the two women relaxed their tense hearts.
Xiao Liu turned back and his gaze fell on Ye Fei's shapely figure, with a hint of passion flashing in his eyes. After tasting the pleasure of controlling others' lives and deaths, the desire buried in his heart was like a runaway horse, unable to be controlled.
"What about you, Officer Ye?" Xiao Liu looked at her chest and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.
Ye Fei was furious and said, "You dream on!"
Xiao Liu's face darkened, and he shook his gun, saying, "Think carefully."
Ye Fei responded angrily, "Even if I die, I won't let you touch me! Moreover, I'm going to leave with them. I really regret saving such an ungrateful person like you!"
"You bitch!" Xiao Liu pointed his gun at her and growled, "Don't think I won't kill you!"
Ye Fei stared at him with a fierce gaze and said, "Come on, shoot me!"
Xiao Liu was so angry that his arm kept trembling. The simple-looking young man couldn't bear to watch and persuaded, "Forget it. After all, Officer Ye saved us. If she wants to leave, let her go."
Although Xiao Liu was angry, he didn't actually want to kill Ye Fei. He just felt that his newly gained authority had been provoked and he couldn't save face. After hearing the simple-looking young man's words, the anger on his face subsided slightly. He sniffed and said, "Since you saved me, you can go!"
Ye Fei gave him a cold look and turned to leave. When she looked back, she saw that Chen Chao and his companions had already reached the door and quickly chased after them.
Outside the door, the mother and daughter were still crying and begging the middle-aged man surnamed Huang and the handsome young man to let them in. But the two held her tightly, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't squeeze inside.
Chen Chao and his companions walked out of the door and passed by the mother and daughter. Chen Chao had a calm expression and walked straight past them without looking at them once.
Fan Xiangyu, who followed closely behind, walked past them with light and joyful steps, shaking her head with schadenfreude.
Chen Shiyu's young face showed unmasked disgust. She gave the mother and daughter a cold look and walked past them directly.
After taking just a few steps, Chen Chao heard the zombies within a few miles nearby rapidly converging towards this direction. They were no longer in their previous wandering state but had transitioned into a predatory state upon sensing the scent of prey. Clearly, they had heard the cries of the mother and daughter.
Chen Chao shook his head slightly. He couldn't help but say that these early survivors were too inexperienced. If it were him, he would have killed them outright. In case the mother and daughter were pushed too hard and managed to lure a large number of zombies away in their final moments, everyone inside would be doomed. This was the consequence of wanting to do evil but not going all the way.
For Chen Chao, when doing things, one must do them thoroughly. Leaving someone alive is cruelty to oneself.
