Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Humiliation

The sound of water is continuous and the heat waves are rising.

Mixed with turbid breathing and low words of love.

"Will it hurt if I do this?"

As rough as a beast in lust.

A rare moment of clarity after losing control, with a sense of detachment.

Probably, after all...

However, it was not as the man expected. She couldn't wait to separate from him.

Instead, she hugged him tightly, wrapping her arms around him like a parasitic vine in the rain forest, tightly wrapping around the object she was leaning on until no more nutrients could be squeezed out.

Just like the first time she threw herself into his arms, she trembled and cried in the joy of regaining what she had lost and the fear of losing it again.

All along, this man was like a piece of ice. Whenever she wanted to get close to him, his coldness and alienation would freeze her.

But at this moment, she found that the heart that had never been warmed up in the past had become burning and scorching.

Perhaps, what she just saw was the melting of the first snowflake as the severe winter warmed up.

Please don't leave her, please don't let this go away.

"You treat me like this..."

Jiang Xi's voice was intermittent due to heavy breathing, but it was so gentle that it was like the invitation of a succubus that all men hear in their dreams at midnight.

"I love it."

She hugged him even tighter, her skin pressed against his, wishing she could melt into him.

She whispered in his ear,

"Xiao Liang, I want you to be more kind to me—"

-

That memory that could not be described in detail suddenly came to mind because of Lu Suye's words.

Jiang Xi was confused at first. Why did he suddenly say that?

When she realized why Lu Suye used such words to "humiliate" her, her brain suddenly buzzed.

She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she pushed the man who was pressing on her away. Then, Lu Suye saw a woman huddled in the corner of the bed, covering her chest with the quilt, her face pale, staring at him in panic.

She knew she knew her secret.

Although it was said without any consideration and was purely to vent one's emotions, once words are spoken, they cannot be taken back.

Before Lu Suye could comfort her.

"roll."

Jiang Xi's eyes were dull and depressed.

Lu Suye: "..."

He won't leave.

Finally, the forced strong attitude was broken in just two seconds.

Shame, anger and sadness burst like a flood, drowning Jiang Qian.

She hugged the quilt and burst into tears.

When she was completely defenseless, Lu Suye peeped into her heart, leaving her completely naked in front of him without any cover.

Not just the body.

Yes, he knew the secret between her and Xiao Liang, he had always known it...

But he kept silent and just watched coldly.

What Jiang Qian could not tolerate the most was that she had just denied with such confidence in front of the man who had seen her secret that she liked Xiao Liang.

She told Lu Suye that she had never liked Xiao Liang.

At that time, when Lu Suye heard her say this, would he take it as a "lie" or "truth"?

Jiang Ying never thought that one day the truth behind the "truth" would be more terrifying than the "lie".

Because the lie was at best just her way of being stubborn, just to save face.

But if what she said was true, then she had no feelings for Xiao Liang, but still did that to him. What kind of unspeakable existence had she become!

Jiang Xi had a terrible headache and was in a state of confusion. She was in an unprecedented state of hardship and bewilderment.

Right now, there is still a hungry wolf.

"It works with him, but not with me. Why...?"

Lu Suye approached her,

"In your heart, am I not as good as him?!"

"Don't come over here!!!"

Jiang Xi's voice suddenly became sharp, and as she curled up her body, she issued a warning to anything that crossed the safe distance.

She knew that she could no longer accept the man in front of her.

Lu Suye did not move forward. The distance between him and Jiang Qian was already close enough.

And Jiang Qian's intimidation to him... like the intimidation of the air, also made him understand a truth again,

As long as you are weak enough, even anger is cute.

Jiang Xi's current reaction was undoubtedly a rejection, but at the same time, it was also a disguised way of clearing up his confusion.

In her heart, he was indeed not as good as the man she liked before.

However, her previous attitude also showed that she was willing to be with him...

Under the bed, clothes were scattered everywhere, messy but still intact.

Without tearing or forcing, he effortlessly took them off her one by one.

He was too impatient and ended up like this.

Perhaps he already knew that Jiang Xi's heart would never be open to him again.

No matter how gentle he was or how much he apologized, it was of no use.

In the end, there is only one way left, which is to use both kindness and force, coercion and inducement.

Lu Suye finally revealed his dark side. He stared at Jiang Qian coldly.

"Do you think you could get away with it if I insisted on doing something to you today?"

The answer is self-evident.

Even if the person in front of her is an ordinary adult man without any special abilities.

There was no way she could escape.

Jiang Xi knew this clearly, but she also had her own way.

only--

"puff."

Lu Suye really couldn't help but laugh, which was very inappropriate.

The dagger that Xiao Liang gave to Jiang Qian had another chance to show off.

Lu Suye wasn't sure how he would react if it was him who Jiang Qian had put a dagger against his neck and threatened to leave.

The only thing he could be sure of was that at least he would not completely ignore Jiang Qian's feelings and just laugh.

However, if you use the same trick twice a day, the effect will definitely not be good.

It seems that Jiang Ying has no understanding of men at all and is quite childish.

Could he be a fool like Xiao Liang, who would be scared by her threat of death?

"Will you die?"

Why didn't Lu Suye believe it? "Are you willing to die?"

Didn't she do so much just to survive?

He tried his best to please Xiao Liang, hoping to gain someone to rely on.

The affection fostered by fear makes the relationship progress rapidly in the apocalypse.

As a vested interest holder, Lu Suye naturally benefited greatly from it. The more afraid Jiang Qian was, the more lost she would become.

He has a chance too.

To put it another way, let's just assume that she is not afraid of death.

Lu Suye knows her much better than she knows herself.

"What will happen to your cat if you die?"

Hit the vital point and kill with one blow.

Jiang Xi's eyes were like the surface of a lake at night with moonlight pouring down, trembling twice along with the silver ripples.

Lu Suye knew he had grasped the key, and pursued the victory.

"A cat that has lost its owner can only live as a stray cat on the street, picking up random garbage to eat. It's so pitiful. If it encounters a zombie..."

"you're right."

Jiang Xi interrupted him, saying that she shouldn't take her life so lightly and use it as a bargaining chip to threaten others.

The corners of Lu Suye's mouth rose slightly.

But before he could reap the fruits of victory, the dagger that Jiang Ying had been holding tightly in her hand and had never put down was shining coldly on the right side of her cheek.

The place where Lu Suye had kissed countless times was icy cold.

The blade was right on top of it.

Lu Suye could no longer laugh.

The face that he loved so much, the face that made his heart beat so fast, was just a little bit away from breaking.

Wait until the sharp blade cuts through the delicate skin, letting the blood flow down.

Even if it heals in the future, it will leave a long, hard, centipede-like scar that can never be erased.

"You don't want me like this, do you?"

Jiang Xi's tone was surprisingly calm.

Lu Suye looked at Jiang Xi, wanting to wait until she could no longer hold on and was defeated.

But this time, he lost.

“Don’t hurt yourself.”

Lu Suye said without hesitation, "I'm leaving."

He got off the bed in shame, picked up his clothes, and got out of Jiang Xi's room.

When they reached the door, the sound of claws scratching at the door became obvious.

Jiang Yongzhuang was eager to come in again.

Because when Lu Suye came in just now, he closed the door.

So much so that after it finished its meal, it couldn't get in.

The moment the door opened, Jiang Yongzhuang was stunned.

Naked man!?

As soon as I entered the room, the strong smell was overwhelming.

"Meow?" Jiang Yongzhuang sniffed around.

Here is it, here is it too...

Everywhere!

"Meow--!!!"

In Jiang Wei's arms, Jiang Yongzhuang screamed.

The master's body is full of the smell of that man! !

The cat was restless and overly active, meowing non-stop.

Jiang Xi didn't say anything, just held it.

At this moment, she seemed to be back to the uneasy night she spent in the cabin in the woods when she first came into this world.

What should they do in the future?

-

It was an extremely long and unbearable night, and the sky was just beginning to brighten.

The door of Jiang Xi's room opened.

Almost at the same time, a leaning body straightened up.

He seemed to have stood there leaning against the wall all night.

Jiang Xi was carrying her luggage with a kitten following at her feet.

He walked past the only man left here with an expressionless face.

"I was wrong."

Lu Suye's apology was sincere and full of guilt.

He waited for Jiang Xi all night just so that he could apologize to her as soon as she came out.

He considered many words and came up with many explanations to excuse himself.

But when he really saw Jiang Qian again, he only had time to say three words.

And she no longer needs it.

[Can you give me a chance?]

The unspoken plea eventually dissipated in the early morning breeze of Florence City along with the exhaust smoke emitted by the starting red supercar.

Jiang Yongzhuang lay on the passenger seat and stretched lazily.

The little head twisted left and right, it seemed like a few people were missing?

It doesn’t matter, as long as the owner is not missing anything.

So, just like when they came, Jiang Ting drove the car with her kitten.

But now she doesn't know where to go.

-

After thinking for a long time last night, she found two paths before her.

One is to continue with the original plan and go to the North District Human Survivor Base that Xiao Liang told her about.

The paper map was clearly marked with marker lines, so she could find the way as long as she drove along the map.

Or maybe...

A worker's cabin at a logging camp outside Grizzly Town.

All the zombies within a hundred miles of that area were gathered by Xiao Liang using bait and killed all at once.

So, in theory it's safe there.

Jiang Qian hasn't made a final decision on where to choose yet, but no matter what, let's leave the city first.

She didn't want to stay in this city that had given her so many sad and painful memories for even a second.

After leaving the city through the entrance she came from, Jiang Qian felt as if she had escaped from a curse and felt relaxed.

In the distance, the sun was rising, and the bright dawn ignited the hope in her heart and made her feel excited.

Maybe she had been wrong all along.

As long as she is careful enough, she can survive even if she is alone!

The red sports car sped along the highway. Most sections of the road were in good condition, with only a small part that was bumpy, with gravel piled up or sunken, and full of potholes. The gray highway that wound to the horizon looked like a giant snake with its belly ripped open.

Jiang Xi was no stranger to such a dilapidated scene.

Poorly maintained roads and cities are the final destination.

She could only avoid it as much as possible to reduce the damage to her car caused by the dangerous road conditions.

This car is very important to her and she must protect it well.

However, no matter how careful she was, after driving past another large rock pit caused by an explosion, a small pile of rocks suddenly appeared in front of her, forcing her to brake suddenly.

The inertial potential energy directly threw Jiang Yongzhuang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, under the seat.

Today Jiang Xi forgot to fasten its seat belt.

This shows that seat belts are really important.

Looking up from the steering wheel, Jiang Xi's heart was pounding. Driving a go-kart was not as exciting as this.

When she tried to restart the car, she found that the engine wouldn't start no matter what she did.

Jiang Xi: “…”

No way.

How long has it been since we started driving?

She knew that there was no towing company and no one could help her.

All she can rely on is herself.

The bright sunshine gave her courage, and after some intense mental preparation, she decided to get off the car and take a look.

Could it be that something is stuck?

The driver's door was open, and Jiang Qian squatted at the front wheel, staring intently.

But no matter how careful you are, it's like a mountain between two different fields...

“Meow~meow!”

Jiang Yongzhuang suddenly shouted.

Jiang Xi was frightened.

Are there zombies?

What she fears most now is zombies.

However, when she stood up, the first thing that caught her eye was a jeep coming towards her.

The car window glass is covered with black anti-peep film, making it impossible to see what's going on inside.

One thing is certain, the person sitting in this car is a human.

She finally met other survivors in this world.

And she needs help right now!

But for some reason, a strong sense of unease suddenly emerged in Jiang Qian's heart.

Instead of stepping forward to stop the car, she retreated into her own car, closed the door and locked it.

He lowered his body, trying to hide his presence as much as possible.

What she was thinking was, let's wait for this car to pass...

She will find another way to deal with the rest.

The truck was driving very fast and came close in the blink of an eye. Then, it brushed the dividing strip in the center of the road and drove away with a whoosh.

Jiang Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

She was not discovered.

The next second——

"Boom! Boom!"

The sound of fingers tapping on glass.

She turned her head sharply.

At this moment, outside the car window, several men's big hands were pressing on the glass, sticking their heads out and stretching their necks to look into the car.

Jiang Xi was petrified on the spot.

The car did pass by.

But he stopped.

The people in the car got off...

Come to see her.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The fingers tapped continuously and with great force, as if they wanted to knock a hole in the car window.

Outside the glass window on the driver's side, the bald man closest to Jiang Xi looked impatient.

Obviously, he knew that the person in the car would not open the door on his own.

Followed by a crisp crackling sound.

"Ah!!" Jiang Qian couldn't help but scream.

Crash——

Glass shards were scattered all over her.

The car door was severely damaged and no longer had any protective function.

Jiang Xi, who had been curled up in the seat, was grabbed by the wrist by the bald man and dragged out of the car.
