"Hmph, you think you can scare me with that?" Facing the man's threats from behind him, Zhao Tianlei showed no reaction at all. He merely let out a cold laugh.
After Zhao Tianlei finished speaking, the woman said, "Little handsome guy, big sister advises you to listen to my brother carefully. He's good in every way, except that he has a terrible temper. Whenever something doesn't go his way, he likes to get physical. Ever since he started selling powder with me, his temper has become even worse. At least three people have already died at his hands. Considering that you gave us a ride and food just now, big sister will give you a way out."
"As long as you hand over that bag of food, get out obediently, and give us the car too, I guarantee we won't hurt you. I'll even thank you. Otherwise, I really won't be able to stop my stupid little brother from doing something vicious."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, the man sitting behind Zhao Tianlei let out a lecherous laugh. "Sis, you and your husband have been cuddling and acting lovey-dovey the whole way. I couldn't stand it anymore. You have to consider my feelings too. This student girl driving the car is quite easy on the eyes. I want her too. She can keep me entertained along the way."
The moment the woman's brother finished speaking, Cheng Yao, who was driving in the driver's seat, began trembling all over. She had only just survived Lin Mu and Qian Hao's clutches, and now she was about to fall into the hands of these drug dealers. For a moment, Cheng Yao couldn't help wanting to burst into tears, and she even wanted to call out to Zhao Tianlei for help.
Zhao Tianlei merely asked the three of them calmly, "Are all three of you drug dealers?"
His words immediately caused the woman to complain. "Oh my, little handsome guy, why are you putting it so unpleasantly? What do you mean, drug dealers? We're merely helping those young people relieve their boredom and providing them with some powder to release their mental pressure. It's the latest fad among young people in the city, a popular trend."
As she spoke, the man on the woman's left said, "Wife, stop wasting your breath on this guy. Just have our little brother shoot him. The whole world is already in chaos. Even if we kill him, no one will come investigate. Besides, once he's dead, we can just throw his body into the street. Before the rescue team arrives, the zombies will have eaten him."
Unexpectedly, the woman immediately glared at him. "Are you stupid? This is such a good, clean car. If you shoot him in here, the blood and brains will splatter everywhere. How are we supposed to sit in it then? The whole car will stink of blood. Are you trying to attract zombies when you drive it away?"
Her words immediately made the other two nod repeatedly. "That's right, Sis is making sense. If this guy dies in the car, the blood will only attract zombies. Stop the car and get out to kill him."
The woman continued, "Look at how violent you two are. What time is it now? The world has already ended. Can't you restrain yourselves a little? We may not be good people, but we're not monsters who commit every evil under the sun either. As long as someone doesn't oppose us, there's no need to wipe them out. Besides, if this little brother is willing to obey us and hand over the car, the food, and his little girlfriend, we can show some mercy and let him go. What's more, in this zombie-infested world, whether he can survive on his own is another matter. There's no need for us to be so ruthless. Saving one bullet is still saving one bullet. After all, we only have a few bullets for this gun."
Then the man behind Zhao Tianlei threatened Cheng Yao, "Fine. Pull over, little girl. If you don't stop, don't blame me for beating up your little boyfriend. You wouldn't want to see me break one of his legs or arms, would you?"
What Cheng Yao didn't know was that, in that instant, tears immediately welled up in her eyes. It seemed that after hearing their threats, she was deeply worried about Zhao Tianlei's life. If she didn't stop, they might very well beat Zhao Tianlei until he was crippled. But if she did stop, Zhao Tianlei would be abandoned here alone.
This place was unlike the suburbs. Abandoned cars and ruins surrounded them. Who knew how many zombies were hiding nearby? Besides, once Zhao Tianlei was driven away, she would also fall into the hands of these drug dealers. The consequences were naturally unthinkable.
Although Cheng Yao was willing to stay behind and become these men's plaything to protect Zhao Tianlei from harm, she was terrified. She was afraid that without Zhao Tianlei by her side, she would be lonely and helpless. Just as Cheng Yao was about to cry, someone suddenly grasped the hand she had wrapped around the steering wheel. That large hand was warm, giving Cheng Yao inexplicable encouragement and support.
"Yaoyao, pull over in that open area ahead."
Zhao Tianlei's icy voice rang out. Cheng Yao immediately shuddered, clearly unable to understand what he meant. But since Zhao Tianlei had spoken, she had no choice but to obey. No matter how frightened she was, she could only follow his instructions, slowly driving to the open area ahead and stopping there.
Hearing Zhao Tianlei, the man sitting behind him immediately laughed. "Brat, you're really damn obedient. Still, that's good too. You've managed to save your own life. Hurry up, put the stuff down, and leave."
After saying that, the man looked at Cheng Yao's frightened expression as she drove. He couldn't help laughing and began teasing her. "Hey, little beauty, don't be sad. It's already a chaotic world. With your little boyfriend's abilities, he can't protect you at all. Looking at his build, I bet he can't even satisfy you in bed when he holds you. Come with big brother, and I guarantee you'll eat and drink your fill. In bed, I'll send you soaring every day. Hahaha..."
After the car stopped, Zhao Tianlei held Cheng Yao's hand and lightly tapped it with his finger, saying casually, "We're getting out. Open the doors."
None of the three people in the back noticed Zhao Tianlei's subtle movement. Cheng Yao naturally understood his signal perfectly. 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 together, the woman's brother immediately shouted angrily, "Huh? Brat, you could get out by yourself. Why are you taking my little beauty with you? And leave that bag of food behind too!" As he spoke, he grabbed his gun and got out of the car, seemingly intending to take Cheng Yao and the bag full of food back.
As soon as he got out, the armed man said to Zhao Tianlei, "Hey, you. Didn't you understand what I said? I told you to leave the food and the girl behind. How dare you play dumb with me?"
"Pfft." The man's response wasn't an answer from Zhao Tianlei, but an action from him instead.
