Are You Serious? (Asking for Recommendation Tickets! Monthly Tickets!)

As soon as they passed through the iron gate, Yang Ao's previously bossy demeanor instantly shifted to that of a fawning subordinate.

"Heh heh, Brother Jin, how did I do just now? Did I have the right vibe?"

Shen Jin patted his shoulder, the armor clanking noisily.

"Not bad. You really got into character. Keep it up for the next few days, and make sure you keep them in line!"

"Then, can I..."

"You can."

Yang Ao's eyes lit up. He had seen several women inside with looks scoring a 7 or 8, especially a few young married women. They were exactly to his taste. Only young people liked inexperienced girls! Someone like him, a veteran of many battles, understood the appeal of married women. Perhaps tonight...

Seeing Yang Ao starting to drool, Shen Jin sighed.

"People are different. There was a time when, in a fit of extreme impulse, I was angry for an entire night..."

The two returned to the villa, ready to discuss arrangements for what to do with these people. Shen Jin felt it would be a waste to feed them for seven days for free.

"Wait! How many people were there in total? Enough to complete the mission?"

In a spacious 300-square-meter compartment, 24 men and women were gathered, discussing their current predicament. Zhao Mingkai stood by the opening they had come through, only to discover it had been sealed shut at some point.

"Did anyone see them fill this hole? I don't recall it happening."

The others looked, their faces full of surprise. "What's going on? We don't remember them burying the hole."

"Who was the last one out?"

Old Wang rubbed his chin, a look of confusion on his face. "I was the last one, but those two Transcendent beings didn't do anything. Besides, if it was filled now, wouldn't it be too… freshly filled?"

Qi Tong stepped forward and jumped a few times. "It's completely compacted. It doesn't look like freshly filled earth at all. It's almost as if it's always been like this."

Everyone looked again. "How strange..."

Old Wang held his walkie-talkie, recalling what the Iron Man had said earlier, pondering the other party's intentions.

Old Liu had been very quiet ever since he was forcibly pulled up by the others. Perhaps he had finally realized his previous loss of composure and was so ashamed he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. He decided to feign silence and try to blend in.

Li Jie was still dressed provocatively, wearing black silk stockings and a short skirt. In the early winter chill of November, she looked particularly frail. It had been fine in the dorms, as they were indoors, and she hadn't felt the cold much.

She rubbed her legs, blew on her hands, and pointed at the locked iron gate.

"What did those two bring us here for? Have they established a Gathering Place? Are they taking in survivors from the surrounding areas?"

"I think it's probably made up of people from the surrounding area. Otherwise, how could two people build such high walls?"

"Heh heh, the entire city is out of power now. Without machinery and electricity, building such large walls is harder than Qin Shi Huang building the Great Wall! I suspect this is a Gathering Place for Transcendent beings; only they possess such power!"

"Hiss!"

Everyone considered this possibility. If humanity truly had Transcendent beings and ordinary people, "Then, could it be like in the novels, where we're treated as lower-class residents, at the mercy of others?"

Just as Zhao Mingkai was about to speak, Old Wang waved his hand. "No! My intuition tells me these two have no ill intentions."

Some of the female employees agreed, their sixth sense being more sensitive.

"Never mind, everyone is tired today. Hurry up and pack your things, and find a place to sleep."

"Tsk tsk! Look at the houses they've built! So neat! Like they were made from the same mold!"

"Yeah, look at this marble, the solid wood panels. They're fitted together without a single gap. It must have taken a master craftsman with at least 10 years of experience to do this."

The crowd's awe and reverence for the mysterious Transcendent organization grew even stronger. It must have been filled with talented individuals. They even seemed to have preserved pre-apocalypse electricity and craftsmanship.

There were 24 of them in total: 16 men and 8 women. According to the mysterious Transcendent beings' instructions, they were divided into male and female living quarters.

Among them were a couple and a married pair. Although they desperately wanted to be together, they remembered how the Iron Man had unhesitatingly sliced off a lock of Zhao Mingkai's hair earlier that day. They decided to play it safe and observe the situation.

Qi Tong, Li Jie, and Su Lele, who was separated from her boyfriend, and Zhao Hong, separated from her husband, ended up living together. These few were the youngest and prettiest among them, so they naturally gravitated towards each other. Before parting, Su Lele's boyfriend and Zhao Hong's husband left some of their clothes behind for them.

She was afraid the two of them would be cold at night.

When there is hope, human nature still remains beautiful.

The group had originally traveled light, but after being rescued by Yang Ao and the others, they brought some luggage.

This saved Shen Jin some trouble; if a few people froze to death on his territory, it would have been for nothing, right?

"Lele, your boyfriend is so thoughtful. He's protected you for so long, letting you eat first whenever there's food. I'm so envious," Li Jie said enviously.

Su Lele was only 24 years old. After graduating, she joined Wanyu Company and ended up starting an office romance.

"Sister Jie, you're joking again. Everyone knows that all the men in our company are eager to show you attention. I'm afraid that with just one flirtatious glance from you, others would rush to warm your bed."

So young, yet sharp-tongued, she implied Li Jie was promiscuous with her words.

Qi Tong put away her chess pieces and quickly tried to smooth things over, "Don't start fighting right away. Come on, let's set up the room."

"Hmph!"

"Hmph hmph~"

Su Lele was a young, vibrant girl with a good figure and skin, highly favored in the company.

Li Jie was a charming, mature woman. Although she didn't have Su Lele's natural advantages, she made up for it with her allure, which was more to the taste of the leaders.

Therefore, she had always suppressed Su Lele in the company.

Zhao Hong was a mother of two, plump with the largest bust, a full E cup! However, she was quite honest, and her husband also worked at the company.

She had no scandals before the apocalypse.

The women wandered around the makeshift shelter Shen Jin had built, finding it empty except for two large beds.

"It's still quite clean. It seems someone cleaned it up specifically today. How thoughtful."

Su Lele, the most energetic, immediately lay down on the large bed.

"Ah~ this is so comfortable!"

"What? It's just a shabby bed... Ah! It's so soft!" Qi Tong lay on the bed, sinking into it.

"Heh, is it that exaggerated? You two are too dramatic... Oh~ kimochi!" Li Jie let out a common Japanese phrase.

Zhao Hong touched the fabric of the bed and exclaimed, "If I'm not mistaken, this bed is pure wool!"

As a young married woman with excellent domestic skills, she could naturally distinguish different fabrics.

"A whole piece of wool like this must have been difficult to get! And it's very warm!"

The women lifted the covers and found it to be true. The bed was soft and comfortable, and the blankets were made of pure wool, soft and warm.

Moreover, the beds were solid wood, with no pungent smell of adhesives.

Instead, they exuded a faint woody fragrance, making it easier to fall asleep.

"A set like this with these beds and blankets, before the apocalypse... it would have cost tens of thousands!"

The women clicked their tongues in amazement, not expecting the mysterious people to go to such lengths to get them such good beds, and all of them new!

"Gurgle gurgle~"

Zhao Hong, lying on the bed, let out a growl from her stomach, squeezed by her large, deformed breasts.

"Gurgle~"

It was better not to mention it, as the other women's stomachs also began to protest.

"I'm so hungry. Lying here without moving can conserve some energy, but we walked so far today, I'm starving!"

"You! This thing consumes too much energy, it's just a burden!"

"Annoying!"

The women burst into laughter and all lay down on the beds.

"I wonder if they'll give us food tomorrow," Su Lele said hopefully.

Li Jie sneered, "Don't you know how precious food is in the apocalypse? It's been 3 months, where isn't there a food shortage? If those people would give me a full meal now, I'd rather eat candied bananas!"

Yes, food was too precious... The women fell silent.

For a moment, they were filled with renewed uncertainty about the future.

Yang Ao secretly packed up some of the leftovers from the women's dinner and waited in his own room for a while.

Seizing the chance before anyone noticed, he sneaked out, heading straight for the girls' dormitory.

Outside the window, he overheard Li Jie's explosive opinion.

Yang Ao: (Temptation)

"Ahem, is what you said true?"
