Her blood-stained fingers slowly unbuttoned the buttons, and in a moment she looked like a potato that had been peeled.

Shen Chen stretched out his finger and beckoned.

Liu Hui shrank back and slowly squatted down. Whether it was from the cold or from fear, she trembled like a leaf in the wind.

"Do I need to teach you how to do it?" Shen Chen pointed to his waist, and a thin vine sprouted from his fingertip, quickly growing to about half a meter long.

Liu Hui looked at the vines in horror and pleaded in a low voice, "Brother Chen, please, not here."

A smile played on Shen Chen's lips, while a wicked glint shone in his eyes.

"If not here, then where? In the bed where you and Minghao were fooling around, or in the car where you and that idiot Guo Dabao rolled around?"

Liu Hui kept her head down and didn't say anything.

"Hurry up!" Shen Chen lashed out with the vines, striking Liu Hui hard. A purplish-red welt immediately appeared on her fair skin, and Liu Hui couldn't help but let out a wail.

Shen Chen sneered, "If you don't want to live, then go ahead and scream. I'm not that stupid as Ming Hao. It's not worth dying for a slut like you."

Liu Hui quickly bit her lower lip, her fingers trembling as she unzipped the zipper and slowly crawled forward.

Shen Chen tilted his head back slightly and sighed comfortably, but his fingers flicked again, intentionally or unintentionally, and Liu Hui groaned in a muffled voice.

Shen Chen didn't hear the expected sound and frowned somewhat unhappily, "You're quite afraid of dying."

The vine lashed out again, and the air whistled as it moved rapidly.

Liu Hui bit her lip tightly in pain, and bright red blood slowly seeped out from her lips.

Shen Chen enjoyed the way he pinched her softness hard, and the vines swayed up her back on their own without any wind. "Hurry up."

Liu Hui sobbed softly in pain, her back, covered in red marks, tensed, and she struggled to support her shivering legs, trying to quicken her pace.

Shi Lan leaned against the wall, her delicate eyebrows furrowed.

Unexpectedly, Minghao died, while Liu Hui, who had no superpowers, survived. Of course, she also didn't expect that the seemingly refined and gentle Shen Chen would have such a taste.

As Shen Chen was enjoying himself, Shi Lan snorted coldly, pulled out a pistol that she had been hiding and fired a shot at the guy in the head.

Blood mixed with white liquid exploded in front of Liu Hui's eyes, the warm liquid hitting her face. Liu Hui's mind went blank, and it took her a while to hear herself scream.

The piercing gunshots, accompanied by a woman's screams, echoed through the area for a long time. The roars of zombies rose and fell, and heavy footsteps pounded in one after another.

Liu Hui hurriedly got up and hastily put on some clothes, but before she could even put on her coat, she was surrounded by zombies.

Seeing the zombies engulf her layer by layer, Shi Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning back to the children's clothing store, Zhang Xiaomei had already prepared the meal. Seeing Shi Lan, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly invited everyone to eat.

Tao Jinrao hurriedly placed the small pot filled with mineral water on the newly lit fire, while Zhou Bin tidied up the toys scattered on the ground and sat obediently at the table.

After finishing her meal, Shi Lan thought it over and decided to tell him that she was leaving.

The following morning, Shi Lan had Tao Jinrao park the car a few miles from the base.

Zhang Xiaomei looked at her with teary eyes, "Sister Shi, are you really leaving?"

Shi Lan's smile was faint, but her eyes were warm. "All good things must come to an end. Our fate has run its course."

Zhang Xiaomei buried her face in Shi Lan's arms and said reluctantly, "But I can't bear to part with you."

Shi Lan gently stroked her hair and whispered, "You must take good care of yourself from now on. There are still good men in this world. If you meet one, cherish him."

Zhang Xiaomei burst into tears. Although Zhou Bin didn't understand, he could tell something was wrong. Knowing that Shi Lan was leaving, he pouted and was about to start wailing.

Shi Lan glared at him and said, "You're a man now, how can you cry so easily?"

Zhou Bin was a little intimidated by Shi Lan, and quickly pursed his lips, but still couldn't help but hug her and say, "Sister Shi, don't go."

Shi Lan ruffled his hair and said, "Little guy, you need to grow up quickly so you can protect Sister Zhang when you grow up, okay?"

Zhou Bin buried his head in her waist and nodded sullenly.

Shi Lan then turned her attention to Tao Jinrao, "I'm leaving them in your care."

Tao Jinrao nodded solemnly, "Please rest assured, Ms. Shi, I am part of them. Where I am, they are too."

Shi Lan smiled and nodded, pushed away the two people who were hugging her tightly, randomly picked a car by the roadside, got in, and waved to them.

Zhang Xiaomei reluctantly reached for the car door, but Tao Jinrao stopped her. Enraged, she reached out to hit him. Tao Jinrao was extremely skilled, but he didn't want to hurt Zhang Xiaomei, so he couldn't help but consider her feelings. The two were locked in a stalemate for a while.

Zhou Bin wiped away his tears and ran after the car for a long time until Shi Lan angrily shouted at him to go back, at which point he turned back crying.

The companions who had accompanied her all the way were now separated, and Shi Lan felt a pang of sadness. However, she knew that such a separation was inevitable, and this was not the time to act on emotions. If she hadn't wanted to do more for the Imperial Concubine, those people wouldn't have come looking for her, Haoze wouldn't have left, and she wouldn't have been hunted down.

Shi Lan let out a long breath, calmed herself down, and called out to Mingxiao.

This time, Mingxiao recovered quickly. A wave of dizziness hit him, and Shi Lanzhen was pulled away, instantly reappearing in the space.

The violent impact made Shi Lan unsteady on her feet, and she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Mingxiao seemed oblivious to her odd behavior, its eyes fixed on the depths of space.

Shi Lan, holding her head, took two steps forward and asked, "What are you looking at?"
