Pervert

"Rocket!" Zhou Shuli slapped down his cards, his face brimming with smug satisfaction.

"Haha, Boss, you won again!" someone beside him immediately fawned over him.

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

Her name was Zhang Caixuan. She had once been a beautiful office worker, but now a strange stench clung to her entire body. Though she had tried to comb her hair, it was still stuck to her scalp as if it had been soaked in grease. Since she was the prettiest and had the best figure, she had ultimately become Zhou Shuli's exclusive woman.

Zhou Shuli took the cigarette and drew deeply on it, then blew the smoke onto Zhang Caixuan, making her giggle. She accidentally revealed a mouthful of yellowed, foul-smelling teeth caked with grime.

Zhou Shuli frowned slightly, feeling a little displeased. These women were truly filthy.

He had once been an auto mechanic—more precisely, the kind who specialized in changing tires. Since he did not understand much about the technical side, most of his time had been spent hauling things around. Zhou Shuli had never imagined that his worthless life would suddenly change, that in the abrupt apocalypse he would become the leader of a team. A woman like Zhang Caixuan was someone he had never even dared dream of before.

All of a sudden, there were many more refugees in this world. They had no food and no weapons, but he did. That was his advantage. He could order these people around as he pleased, have them go out to find food and then hand it over to him. He did not need to face the zombies himself; he only needed to reap the rewards.

He ought to thank his luck for picking up an airdrop crate. He was the only one in the entire team with a gun!

Anyone who disobeyed him, he killed!

Boom—

A deafening crash suddenly came from outside the window, especially distinct in the otherwise quiet night, cutting off the room's merry mood.

"What happened?"

Everyone immediately rose to their feet, extinguished all the flames, and gathered by the window.

Before long, the expressions on their faces became particularly vivid. It was an off-road vehicle that had rammed straight into a supermarket in the distance. Then its headlights went out, and everything fell silent.

"Damn it!" Zhou Shuli abruptly shoved everyone around him aside and stared hard out the window.

He had had his eye on that supermarket for a long time. The people in his team were too useless to find any decent food. He was sick of eating shriveled instant noodles and crackers. He wanted meat. There was plenty of it in that supermarket, along with ham sausages and rice.

But there were too many zombies on that street, so he had not dared go over. Before this, he had forced a group of ten people to try. They had all died, devoured by those terrifying zombies in an instant. He had seen it clearly from here. The scene had been horrifying and bloody; those ten people had been gnawed down to bare bones in moments.

Luckily, he had not impulsively gone there himself. Luckily, someone had served as cannon fodder. Yet he still did not want to give up on that supermarket. He had stayed here, intending to seize it when the right opportunity came.

But he had not expected an off-road vehicle to crash in there? It had not ruined the food, had it?

The supermarket was too far away for him to see what was happening. Aside from that initial massive impact, he could not hear anything else at all because of the distance.

"Dead?" A tyrannical grin split Zhou Shuli's lips.

"They're definitely dead." Zhang Caixuan mocked openly. "There are so many zombies there. All of us together wouldn't dare go, so how many people could fit in that off-road vehicle? And it rammed straight in like that. They must all be dead."

"Wouldn't dare?" Zhou Shuli keenly caught the words in her speech. He suddenly grabbed Zhang Caixuan by the throat. "You dare say I'm a coward?!"

He knew these people were dissatisfied with him, but so what? He had a gun. He had no need to fight the zombies face-to-face, and these people feared him and obeyed him.

But he could not tolerate anyone calling him a coward. That was exposing his weakness!

"No! Cough, cough, cough! That's not what I meant!" Zhang Caixuan hurriedly apologized. She even dropped to her knees with a thump, desperately wrapping her arms around Zhou Shuli's legs. Her voice instantly turned soft and coquettish. "I meant those zombies are too terrifying. Haven't we been staying here to observe the terrain? You said it yourself—acting without confidence is just courting death."

Zhang Caixuan's words pleased Zhou Shuli greatly. He especially liked that last sentence.

"Not bad." The corner of his mouth lifted. "We'll go out tomorrow and see what happened. I like that vehicle. Smuggled in, perhaps?"

Early the next morning, Chu Han was already using the light filtering through the crack in the window to study a map of Tong City. The streets, the distribution of residential buildings—this was all necessary information. Using this basic information, he could analyze where the zombie hordes were concentrated and choose the safest route. If he wanted to go to the city center, he needed to be fully prepared.

Chen Shaoye was loading food into the truck in the warehouse. They might spend some time wandering around the city center, but they needed to keep this base. They would have to pass through here again when leaving Tong City, so G55 stayed behind to continue serving as the "door guardian."

"I don't want to look for Thirteen at all. She might already be dead, you know?" Luo Xiaoxiao suddenly threw a tantrum. The little girl's petite body was curled up in a chair, her knees drawn close as her fingers repeatedly fiddled with an assault rifle.

Shang Jiudi, who was packing things up, frowned. In the end, she still tried to persuade her helplessly. "We're all alive. How could she be dead? That woman—"

Halfway through, Shang Jiudi suddenly stopped. Her expression became strange, carrying both apprehension and disgust.

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

He looked away from the map, his sharp gaze pressing down on Shang Jiudi. If there was a problem with the companion they were looking for, then it would be better not to risk their lives. The apocalypse was terrifying, and death could come at any moment. He would never have agreed to make a special trip to the city center for a woman who did not get along with them if he had not valued Luo Xiaoxiao's formidable background.

After all, he did not know the woman called Thirteen at all.

"That woman is a pervert!" Luo Xiaoxiao said viciously, her face full of displeasure. "I hate her the most!"

A pervert??

That truly surprised Chu Han. A woman, a young woman, one who knew Luo Xiaoxiao and made Shang Jiudi wary—she should have been either the daughter of a high-ranking official or from a powerful revolutionary family.

He had expected words like spoiled or overbearing, but the word that came out of Luo Xiaoxiao's mouth was—

A pervert?

How could a woman be a pervert?
