"Royal Flush!" Zhou Shuli slammed the cards down, a smug look on his face.

"Haha, boss, you won again!" someone immediately began to flatter him.

"Brother Zhou is amazing!" The woman next to Zhou Shuli immediately offered him a cigarette.

Her name was Zhang Caixuan. She had been a beautiful white-collar worker, but now she exuded a strange odor. Although her hair had been meticulously styled, it still clung to her scalp as if soaked in oil. Because she was the prettiest and had the best figure, she had become Zhou Shuli's exclusive woman.

Zhou Shuli took the cigarette, took a deep drag, and blew the smoke ring onto Zhang Caixuan, making the woman giggle. She accidentally revealed a mouth full of yellow, foul-smelling, grimy teeth.

Zhou Shuli frowned, feeling a slight displeasure. These women were truly disgusting.

He had originally been a car mechanic, specifically the kind who changed tires. Lacking technical skills, he spent most of his time moving things. Zhou Shuli had never imagined that his utterly useless life would suddenly change. In the sudden apocalypse, he had become the leader of a team. Women like Zhang Caixuan were beyond his wildest dreams before.

The world had suddenly gained many refugees, lacking food and weapons. But he had them, and that was his advantage. He could freely order these people to go out and find food, then hand it over to him. He didn't have to face the zombies himself; he could just reap the rewards.

He should be grateful for his luck in finding an airdrop package. He was the only one in the entire team with a gun!

Anyone who disobeyed, he would kill!

Bang—

Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the window. In the otherwise quiet night, it was particularly noticeable, interrupting the jubilant atmosphere in the room.

"What happened?"

Everyone immediately got up, extinguished all the lights, and gathered by the window.

Soon, the expressions on their faces became extraordinary. It was an off-road vehicle that had crashed into a supermarket in the distance. Then the headlights went out, and silence fell.

"Damn it!" Zhou Shuli shoved the people around him away and stared intently out the window.

He had been eyeing that supermarket for a long time. The people in his team were too useless to find any good food. He was tired of eating those shriveled instant noodles and biscuits. He wanted to eat meat. That supermarket had plenty, along with ham and rice.

But because there were too many zombies on this street, he didn't dare to go. Previously, he had forced a team of ten people to try, and they all died. In an instant, they were devoured by those terrifying zombies. He had watched from this very spot, clearly seeing the scene. It was terrifying and bloody. Those ten people were reduced to bare bones in an instant.

Fortunately, he hadn't impulsively gone himself. Fortunately, someone had acted as cannon fodder. But he still didn't want to give up on the supermarket. He stayed here, planning to seize the supermarket at an opportune moment.

But he hadn't expected a car to just crash into it? Hadn't they damaged the food?

The supermarket was too far away, so he couldn't see what was happening. Apart from the initial huge impact, he couldn't hear any other sounds due to the distance.

"Are they dead?" Zhou Shuli's mouth split into a brutal grin.

"They must be dead," Zhang Caixuan said with undisguised mockery. "There are so many zombies there, and even with so many of us, we don't dare to go. How many people could fit in that off-road vehicle? And they just crashed into it like that. They must all be dead."

"Don't dare?" Zhou Shuli acutely caught the word in the woman's mouth. He suddenly grabbed Zhang Caixuan by the neck. "Are you calling me a coward?!"

He knew these people were dissatisfied, but so what? He had a gun. He didn't need to fight zombies face-to-face, and these people feared him and obeyed him.

But he couldn't tolerate anyone calling him a coward. That was exposing his weakness!

"No! Cough, cough, cough! I didn't mean that!" Zhang Caixuan quickly apologized, even falling to her knees with a thud, desperately hugging Zhou Shuli's legs. Her voice instantly became soft. "I mean those zombies are too terrifying. We've been staying here during this time to observe the terrain, right? You said it yourself, actions without certainty are suicide."

Zhang Caixuan's words were very pleasing to Zhou Shuli. He particularly liked the last sentence.

"That's right," his lips curved. "We'll go out tomorrow to see what happened. I like that car. It must have been smuggled in, right?"

Early the next morning, Chu Han was already using the light filtering through the window cracks to examine the map of Tong City. He needed to know the layout of the streets and residential buildings. This was essential information. With this basic data, he could analyze the dense areas of zombie hordes and choose the safest route. To reach the city center, thorough preparation was necessary.

Young Master Chen was loading some food into the truck in the warehouse. They might spend some time exploring the city center, but this stronghold had to be kept. They would need to pass through here again to leave Tong City, so G55 was left behind to continue acting as a 'guardian.'

"I really don't want to look for Thirteen. She might already be dead!" Luo Xiaoxiao suddenly threw a tantrum. The small girl's petite body was curled up on a chair, her knees drawn up, her fingers fiddling with the automatic rifle.

Shang Jiudi, who was packing, frowned. Finally, she helplessly tried to persuade her, "None of us are dead, so how could she be? That woman—"

Mid-sentence, Shang Jiudi suddenly paused. Her expression became strange, a mix of apprehension and disgust.

"What about that woman?" Chu Han suddenly asked.

He shifted his gaze from the map, his eyes piercingly fixing on Shang Jiudi. If the companion they were looking for had issues, it was best not to risk their lives. The apocalypse was terrifying, and death could come at any moment. To go to the city center specifically for a woman he didn't get along with, if it weren't for the fact that he valued Luo Xiaoxiao's powerful background, he wouldn't do such a thankless job.

After all, he didn't know this woman named Thirteen at all.

"That woman is a freak!" Luo Xiaoxiao said fiercely, her face full of annoyance. "I hate her the most!"

A freak??

This surprised Chu Han. A woman, a young woman, who knew Luo Xiaoxiao and made Shang Jiudi apprehensive. She must be either the daughter of an official or from a prominent revolutionary family.

He had expected adjectives like spoiled or arrogant, but he never thought the word that would come out of Luo Xiaoxiao's mouth would be—

Freak?

How could a woman be a freak?
