Three Drug Dealers

"Hmph, you think you can scare me just like this?" Zhao Tianlei said with a cold laugh, completely unfazed by the man's threats from behind him.

After Zhao Tianlei finished speaking, the woman's voice chimed in, "Oh, young man, your big sister advises you to listen to my brother carefully. My brother is good at everything, except he has a terrible temper. He likes to resort to violence at the slightest inconvenience. Ever since he started dealing drugs with me, his temper has gotten even worse. He's already responsible for at least three deaths. But since you stopped to give us a ride and food, I'll give you a way out."

"Just give us your bag of food and get out of the car obediently, and we'll give you the car. I promise I won't hurt you; in fact, I'll even thank you. Otherwise, I really can't guarantee what my foolish brother might do in his rage."

As the woman finished speaking, the man sitting behind Zhao Tianlei let out a sinister chuckle. "Sister, you and brother-in-law have been all over each other, showing affection. I've been feeling left out. You have to consider my feelings too. This girl driving looks pretty good too. I want her too. She can keep me entertained on the road."

As soon as the woman's brother finished speaking, Cheng Yao, who was driving, began to tremble all over. She had just survived the clutches of Lin Mu and Qian Hao, and now she was about to fall into the hands of these drug dealers. For a moment, Cheng Yao felt an urge to cry uncontrollably and even wanted to cry out to Zhao Tianlei for help.

Zhao Tianlei simply asked them calmly, "Are the three of you drug dealers?"

Zhao Tianlei's question immediately drew a complaint from the woman. "Oh, young man, why do you say such unpleasant things? What do you mean 'drug dealers'? We're just helping young people relieve their boredom, providing them with something to release their mental stress. It's the new thing for young people in the city now, a trend."

As she was speaking, the man to the woman's left said, "Wife, stop wasting your breath on this guy. Just let my brother shoot him. The whole world is in chaos anyway, and no one will investigate even if we kill him. Besides, once he's dead, we can just dump the body on the street, and the zombies will eat him before any rescue team arrives."

Unexpectedly, the woman glared at him. "Are you stupid? It's such a nice car, so clean inside. If you shoot him, blood and brains will splatter everywhere. How can we sit in it? The whole car will smell of blood. Do you want to attract zombies?"

The woman's words made the other two nod repeatedly. "Yeah, my sister's right. If we let this guy die in the car, the blood will just attract zombies. We should stop the car and take care of him outside."

The woman continued, "Look at the violent aura you two have. What time is it now? It's the apocalypse, can't you restrain yourselves a little? We may not be good people, but we're not heinous criminals either. As long as they don't oppose us, there's no need to kill them all. Besides, as long as this young brother here cooperates with us, gives us the car, the food, and his little girlfriend, we can be merciful and let him go. Moreover, in this zombie-infested world, it's questionable whether he can survive alone. There's no need for us to be so ruthless. We need to save every bullet, as we only have a few."

Then, the man behind Zhao Tianlei threatened Cheng Yao, "Alright, little lady, pull the car over. If you don't, don't blame me for beating up your little boyfriend. You wouldn't want to see your little boyfriend have a leg or an arm broken by me, would you?"

Unbeknownst to them, at that very moment, Cheng Yao couldn't help but shed tears. Hearing their threats, her heart tightened, concerned for Zhao Tianlei's life. If she didn't stop the car, these people might very well beat Zhao Tianlei to the point of disability. If she did stop, Zhao Tianlei would be abandoned here alone.

This was no place like the suburbs; it was surrounded by abandoned cars and ruins. Who knew how many zombies were hidden around? Furthermore, if Zhao Tianlei was driven away, she would fall into the hands of these drug dealers, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although Cheng Yao was willing to stay and become their plaything to protect Zhao Tianlei from harm, she was terrified. Without Zhao Tianlei's company, she would be lonely and helpless. Just as Cheng Yao was about to burst into tears, the hand gripping the steering wheel was suddenly held by someone. That large hand was warm, giving Cheng Yao an inexplicable sense of encouragement and support.

"Yaoyao, park the car in that open space ahead."

Zhao Tianlei's cold voice followed. Cheng Yao trembled all over, clearly not understanding the intention behind his words. But since Zhao Tianlei had spoken, Cheng Yao had no choice but to comply. No matter how scared she was, she could only follow Zhao Tianlei's instructions and slowly drive the car to the open space ahead and stop.

Hearing Zhao Tianlei's words, the man behind him immediately laughed. "Brat, you're actually listening. But that's good. You've saved your life. Hurry up and put your stuff down and leave."

After speaking, the man glanced at Cheng Yao, who looked terrified while driving, and couldn't help but laugh. He leered at Cheng Yao, "Hey, little girl, don't be sad. It's a chaotic world now. With your little boyfriend's abilities, he can't protect you at all. Looking at your boyfriend's physique, I doubt he can even satisfy you in bed. Follow me, and I guarantee you'll be well-fed and have an amazing time in bed every day, hahaha..."

After the car stopped, Zhao Tianlei took Cheng Yao's hand and gently tapped it with his finger, saying casually, "It's time to get out. Open the car door."

None of the three people sitting behind noticed Zhao Tianlei's subtle gesture. Cheng Yao, however, clearly understood Zhao Tianlei's hint. She immediately pressed the unlock button, and then she and Zhao Tianlei got out of the car, each carrying a bag.

Seeing Zhao Tianlei and Cheng Yao get out of the car together, the woman's brother immediately yelled angrily, "Huh? Brat, you can get out by yourself. Why are you taking my little lady with you? And that bag of food, leave it for me too." Saying that, he got out of the car, gun in hand, seemingly intending to snatch Cheng Yao and the bag full of food back.

As soon as he got out of the car, the man with the gun said to Zhao Tianlei, "Listen here, kid, did you not understand what I said? I told you to leave the food and the girl behind. Are you trying to play dumb with me?"

"Pfft." Instead of an answer, the man was met with an action from Zhao Tianlei.
