Chapter 47 Women

Qiao Yu recalled what Zhao Sheng said when he begged for mercy from Jiang Zhan, and began to understand a little.

The women he was talking about were probably the three in the room.

"Do you want to open it again?"

Jiang Zhan's words seemed to be asking her whether she wanted to open the door, but Qiao Yu understood that Jiang Zhan was actually asking her: Should we save the people inside or not?

Seeing Qiao Yu getting entangled again, Jiang Zhan's eyes gradually showed a trace of obsession but irritability.

Qiao Yu often said that she was not a good person, but Jiang Zhan disagreed.

Perhaps even Qiao Yu herself didn't realize that when facing the weak, she always had a trace of pity, whether it was for him or others.

If you are not a kind person, where does your compassion come from?

A truly evil person will have no mercy.

Just like him.

Jiang Zhan never considered himself a good person. Selfish, cruel, greedy, cold-hearted... one could even say he was a complete combination of the dark side of human nature.

After all, before he met Qiao Yu, there was no light in his world, so how could it not be dark?

But it is precisely because of this that Qiao Yu's appearance is so dazzling.

Jiang Zhan was very conflicted. In the darkness, he always yearned for light. He loved her kindness, but he also hated her kindness.

On the one hand, he hoped that Qiao Yu could always maintain this kindness and compassion, love him and never leave him; on the other hand, he also hoped that she could become indifferent and not bother about irrelevant people and things.

He hoped that she would only look at him for the rest of her life. He hoped that he would be the only one in her world.

But he didn't dare say it.

If the light finds that the darkness can no longer illuminate it and even wants to devour it, will it eventually leave in disappointment?

"I want to give them a choice." Qiao Yu took Jiang Zhan's hand and stroked it gently, as if to please and comfort him.

As expected.

"Okay." Jiang Zhan set up a mental barrier and controlled two wind blades. With two "clang clang" sounds, he knocked the iron lock on the door to the ground.

The door opened, but no one came out and there was no sound from inside.

Qiao Yu pushed the door open and walked in.

What I saw was a small room of about ten square meters. There was a window covered with iron mesh, a bathroom, a table, three chairs, and a large bed made of some unknown material. On the bed, three naked women sat leaning against each other. This was the complete picture of the room.

The moment Qiao Yu saw the three women, he turned around and covered Jiang Zhan's eyes.

Jiang Zhan let out a light laugh of pleasure from his throat, then pulled down Qiao Yu's hand and held it in his palm, then obediently turned his head away and closed his eyes.

The three women's bodies were covered in bruises from their sexual encounters, but there were no visible injuries. Their complexions were healthy, their emotions stable, not even a hint of fear. It looked as if they hadn't suffered any other physical pain besides being used as sexual tools.

Qiao Yu silently went to the outer closet and randomly took out a few pieces of men's clothes and placed them beside the bed.

"Who are you?" After getting dressed, a pretty girl with narrow eyes spoke first. "Where's Brother Zhao?"

...Brother Zhao? Qiao Yu was stunned. "Aren't you imprisoned here?"

The woman shook her head and said, "Brother Zhao saved our lives, so we stayed here of our own accord."

"...He still wants to lock you up even though you volunteered?"

"That's not locking us up," another petite woman with short hair explained. "There are a lot of men here, and their... demands are so great that we can't handle it. So, Brother Zhao set a weekly limit on the number of men they can come and take turns coming, like a shift system. But some of them disobeyed and came in secretly before, so... we locked the door."

"Yes." The remaining woman with apple cheeks and big eyes whispered, "That lock and the iron mesh on the window are all for our protection."

“…”

So she should be blamed for this unnecessary action? But I didn't realize before that Zhao Sheng still had some humanity.

Qiao Yu originally thought that they were imprisoned and had no choice, so he wanted to give them a chance and let them make a choice.

But now that we know they are staying here voluntarily, there is naturally no choice.

Qiao Yu thought for a moment and decided not to waste any more time with them. He said succinctly, "Zhao Sheng and his men are already dead. You don't need to wait here anymore. Go wherever you want. Everyone outside is ours now. Don't worry, as long as you behave yourself, we won't make things difficult for you. We'll only stay for one night and leave tomorrow morning when the fog clears."

The three women looked at each other, feeling a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"By the way, we will share some of the supplies and gasoline in the storage room with you, so you don't have to worry about that."

After Qiao Yu finished speaking, he pulled Jiang Zhan away.

There were suddenly three strangers in the convoy. The Lin family was wary and no one wanted to live in the same room with them, so they decided to squeeze all eleven people into one room and let the three women live alone.

The distribution of materials was discussed between Cheng Sinian and Lin Yingjie.

Following Qiao Yu's instructions, Cheng Sinian left a portion for the three women, and then divided the remaining water, food, daily necessities and gasoline into 40% and 60% - 60% for them and 40% for the Lin family.

Lin Yingjie was a little worried at first, and wanted to negotiate with Cheng Sinian to try to get 30% of the supplies.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Sinian was so generous and gave them 40% directly.

Lin Yingjie was so moved that he was almost crying.

Cheng Sinian accepted Lin Yingjie's thanks without changing his expression, but he sighed silently in his heart: It's not that he has any selfless spirit, but before he came here, Qiao Yu repeatedly told him to take less. Because the space really can't hold it...

Qiao Yu did not pay special attention to the movements of the three women. Later, when he was moving goods, he saw that they were frightened by Zhao Sheng's body. But after a while, they silently shed tears.

Qiao Yu sneered, said nothing, and turned around to continue moving the goods.

Qiao Yu wasn't sure whether these tears were shed for Zhao Sheng, who seemed to have once given them "favors", or for her own uncertain future that was about to be in danger.

She had no right to criticize the behavior of these three women, nor did she have the right to judge whether Zhao Sheng was good or evil.

After all, in this end times, everyone has their own way of living.

We are all helpless and just trying to survive.

--

When going to bed at night, Qiao Yu had something on his mind and couldn't sleep.

Afraid that turning over would disturb Jiang Zhan, she just lay there without moving. But after a while, Jiang Zhan found her.

"Can't sleep?" Jiang Zhan held Qiao Yu in his arms and kissed the top of her head.

Seeing that his eyes were clear and there was no sign of him just waking up, Qiao Yu leaned closer to him and whispered coquettishly, "You're not sleeping in the middle of the night, are you secretly using your mind to explore me?"

Jiang Zhan chuckled, "I've never used mental probing on you."

Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him, "Then how do you know I'm not asleep?"

Jiang Zhan's smile did not fade, "I just know it."

There was no need to use his mind to investigate. As long as it was about Qiao Yu, he knew everything.

Apart from Qiao Yu's mysterious past life memories, which he was unable to explore for the time being, he would not allow himself to be ignorant of other things.

"You're not sleeping, what are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking..." Qiao Yu's eyes gradually became blank. "If the apocalypse hadn't come, I had successfully celebrated my 20th birthday, and then you locked me up, what would that be like..."

Jiang Zhan's eyes darkened, and he couldn't help but tighten his arms slightly, "Have you thought of it?"

Qiao Yu didn't answer immediately. She was thinking about this question seriously.

But Jiang Zhan was very nervous, as if he was a thug on trial who would be sentenced to death in the next second.

Qiao Yu thought that if it were her in her previous life, she would probably have a huge fight with Jiang Zhan until death.

But now she felt... if she could think of nothing, lack nothing, without killing or fleeing, and just stay by Jiang Zhan's side...

“It feels pretty good.”

There was genuine joy on Qiao Yu's face.

Jiang Zhan's eyes were deep and slightly red at the corners. He suddenly lowered his head and kissed Qiao Yu's lips.

Does light also want to be tainted by darkness?

So what should she do to completely fall?
