Who Was This Man?

The feverish woman's face was flushed crimson. Perhaps because her fever was so severe, her red lips were slightly parted, and her labored breathing rose and fell.

Should he...?

Once he was done, he could leave. There were plenty of cars outside, as well as a small supermarket. Before coming in, Jia Chunjie had specifically checked the area. Then he could drive away with food and make his escape.

As for Shang Jiudi's current condition, Jia Chunjie did not care whether she lived or died. He only wanted to satisfy himself. He could not be bothered, nor did he want, to care about anything else.

Once that thought arose, he could no longer suppress it. Jia Chunjie stared coldly at Chen Shaoye and Eighteen, who were caring for Shang Jiudi by the bed. One was an idiot, and the other was young. They would be far too easy to fool!

The map of Ange Town was incomplete, but Chu Han had vague memories and roughly knew which direction to take. He did not drive, nor did he bring a gun, because he had no bullets left.

Chu Han carried an axe in one hand, still using the most primitive equipment. His figure moved like a ghost through the crisscrossing roads, accurately avoiding zombies he did not need to encounter.

He was in a hurry. First, he wanted to get the airdrop package as soon as possible. Second, Shang Jiudi's condition would only worsen if delayed, and the airdrop package contained a complete supply of medicine.

This was an abandoned public restroom. The uncleaned feces pits were crawling with maggots. It stood in an alley near the center of Ange Town, and the entire restroom gave off an incredibly overpowering stench that spread outward from the center, choking everyone along the whole street.

Its former appearance could no longer be seen. The entire street was covered in discarded debris, like a graveyard piled high with trash. At least a hundred zombies wandered the street, though most were scattered about. Whenever they passed a spot, the walking corpses would stop and carefully sniff, or stick out their tongues and teeth to touch the filthy, insect-covered remains.

Across from the public restroom stood a small, two-story teahouse. Its sign had long since disappeared, and its windows were so grimy that they were blurred beyond recognition, blackened by the rotten flesh sludge left behind by passing zombies.

Behind the tightly shut windows at the entrance, the curtains shifted, and several figures flickered indistinctly behind the translucent fabric.

There were four men. Three looked young but bedraggled, while the other was more mature. However, his once-neat suit had long since become tattered as well. They sat quietly in the corner, looking dejected, with little conversation between them.

The stench from the public restroom across the street was almost enough to knock them unconscious, but they knew this place was safer than anywhere else.

The environment here was terrible—filthy, chaotic, and foul-smelling. It was the dirtiest, messiest street in the center of town. The alleys nearby were much cleaner and did not have such a powerful stench, but they had even more zombies.

Xiao Yunfei looked at the three silent men before him, unable to stop himself from feeling anxious.

He was handsome, an elite member of high society. He had a mathematics degree from Oxford University and held one of America's top actuarial certifications. At just twenty-eight years old, he had already risen to upper management at a foreign company, with over ten million in funds at his disposal.

With both his intelligence and emotional intelligence far above average, he had always thought highly of himself. He believed he was incredible.

But the apocalypse had turned all of that to nothing. Now, even eating his fill was difficult, let alone facing the danger of death at any moment.

Xiao Yunfei concealed the panic in his eyes and used the sort of lies common in the business world to encourage them. "Don't worry. There will definitely be food. This town has abundant supplies. After we rest for a while, we'll go out and look."

No one responded to him. The three men sitting across from him all looked lost. When would these days of starving one meal and stuffing themselves the next, unable even to bathe or relieve themselves properly, ever end?

A flash of anger crossed Xiao Yunfei's eyes. He smiled and patiently tempted them. "Don't worry. As long as you escort me to Stone City, I promise I'll give you benefits beyond your imagination. Food, power, women—whatever you want! You know what my social status used to be. Actually, I'm very familiar with the people in Stone City's military district. Once we get there, these hard days will be over."

At the end, he gave the three men a resolute look. "I guarantee it."

Influenced by Xiao Yunfei's mood, the eyes of the three men sitting around him lit up slightly. That was right. Xiao Yunfei had said from the beginning that he was going to Stone City, and only a few days ago, they had indeed heard a broadcast saying there was a military base there!

Xiao Yunfei definitely had connections!

"President Xiao, don't worry! Even if I die, I'll make sure to escort you to Stone City!" one man hurriedly declared his loyalty.

"That's right, President Xiao! From now on, I'm following you!" another man flattered him.

"President Xiao, don't forget about me when you make it big!" the third man refused to be outdone.

The three men crowded around Xiao Yunfei, endlessly showering him with praise. In their hearts, they fantasized about even wilder desires—eating meat and delicacies until they threw up every day, kicking anyone they disliked.

Xiao Yunfei smiled warmly, but his heart was filled with endless mockery. Did they think he did not know they had been hiding food from him? They actually thought they could play him! Once he reached the base, they would be worthless. Then they would see!

Just as the group's mood became lively and they excitedly chatted away, the zombies outside the teahouse suddenly let out an incomparably terrifying roar. It was a sound they only made when they discovered food—urgent and filled with primal desire.

The zombies seemed to have been drawn by something and surged toward this place as a group, their howls rising one after another.

The sounds drew closer, clearer, louder!

Their numbers kept growing!

The four people inside the teahouse immediately turned pale with tension and terror. Why had so many zombies suddenly appeared? Had the zombies discovered them hiding here?

Impossible! The stench in this area was so strong that it could completely mask the scent of four living people.

Then what had happened?

None of them dared move. They even tried to breathe as quietly as possible, terrified of death as they peered outside through a crack in the glass without daring to budge.

Soon, an expression called astonishment appeared on all four faces at once.

It was a man. The axe in his hand looked heavy, yet he was running at an incredible speed!

A huge horde of zombies followed behind him, numbering at least eighty or ninety. The zombies looked terrifying, filled with the aura of death. Seeing so many of them pour out at once instinctively filled people with fear, yet they could not catch this man.

He wore ordinary but clean clothes, and his face was very young—definitely no older than twenty.

He was alone, yet he moved through such a dangerous area with ease, running circles around the zombies.

Xiao Yunfei's breathing suddenly quickened, and his eyes gleamed.

Who was this man?

Thanks to the beautiful rich patron Meng Douzi for the reward, taking first place in cumulative donations! Congratulations to reader 98****22—their character Xiao Yunfei has made his appearance! By the way, why do most of the supporting characters you ask for in the comments section have to be villains? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
