"Don't be afraid, he's dead!" Lin Zhen slowly walked up to the woman.
The woman was shaking all over. She raised her face, which was swollen from being beaten by Bai Yi, and burst into tears.
"He's dead!" Lin Zhen repeated.
The woman suddenly burst into tears and threw herself into Lin Zhen's arms, her sobs getting louder and louder.
Leng Yi glanced at Lin Zhen and walked out the door. Yang Qing was standing outside.
"Bai Yi is dead."
"I know." Yang Qing nodded, "He deserves it."
"That, that woman..." Yang Qing looked at Lin Zhen and the woman who were hugging each other.
Leng Yi was a little helpless. "Let him do it. If he wants to take that woman with him, we will separate."
Yang Qing nodded. They really had no obligation to help that woman anymore.
In fact, he was with Lin Zhen just by chance last time, and he happened to take the bullet for Leng Yi, otherwise they would not have had any intersection after handing over the house.
After the woman finished crying, Lin Zhen brought her out.
The woman held Lin Zhen's arm tightly and looked at the other three people timidly.
"Are you planning to take her with you?" Wang Hao frowned.
"I..." Lin Zhen seemed to be in a dilemma. He knew that he had no obligation to help this woman anymore, but she was so pitiful being alone, and she looked so much like his wife.
Yang Qing frowned, understanding Lin Zhen's thoughts, but she really didn't like this kind of stand-in joke, as it was disrespectful to both himself and his wife.
She looked at the woman. "Where were you captured from? Do you have any family?"
"No, no more..." The woman's face was pale. "I came to Licheng with my brother. Later, he was beaten to death. I was abducted to a place where they sold me. Bai Yi's men found out that I looked like his ex-girlfriend, so they took me here and gave me to him..."
"Is there still a place selling it at this time?" Yang Qing frowned.
"Yes, there were many, many women who were captured. Some of them were very young..." the woman whispered.
Yang Qing was silent. This island was already quite chaotic before the apocalypse. There seemed to be a special area for that kind of thing. After the apocalypse, people were no longer human, and burning, killing, and looting happened frequently. It was no surprise that there was talent.
The world is so chaotic, I can’t control it myself.
"Then what are your plans?" Yang Qing asked again.
"I don't know..." The woman shuddered, tears rolling down her face, and she looked at Lin Zhen pitifully.
Lin Zhen held her hand and said, "I want to take her with me. She's been badly injured and has no relatives..."
Leng Yi's face was expressionless. "Then take her to your house. We won't be living there anymore anyway. Take your things with you."
"Okay..." Lin Zhen responded hesitantly. He knew that they would probably not agree with his decision, but he couldn't bear to see this woman fall into the devil's den again.
"Lin Zhen, you need to think carefully. If you don't stay with us, your future won't be easy." Wang Hao reminded him, "And you can't do the work of the urban management here anymore."
Lin Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "I'll find a way myself."
Leng Yi nodded, "As long as you think it through."
Several people got in the car, Leng Yi drove, Yang Qing sat in the passenger seat, and the other three sat in the back seat.
The woman held Lin Zhen's arm tightly, as if she was afraid that he would abandon her. Lin Zhen patted her hand to comfort her.
Leng Yi sent Lin Zhen back to his original residential complex and returned the key to him. "I'll have Wang Hao deliver your things to me later. Take care of yourself in the future."
"Thank you!" Lin Zhen nodded.
He was still very grateful to Leng Yi. He saved his life and gave him superpowers. If it weren't for him, he would never have superpowers in his life.
The three of them returned to the urban management dormitory, and Leng Yi asked Wang Hao to pack up Lin Zhen's things and send them over.
He originally only had a few sets of clothes, and it was thanks to the benefits he received from working as an urban management officer during the past month that he earned some money. Otherwise, he and that woman would not even have anything to eat.
Leng Yi and the others naturally would not confiscate his things, so they let Wang Hao take them away.
After Wang Hao delivered the things, he returned to the dormitory, still feeling a little indignant.
"I think Lin Zhentai is too disloyal. If you hadn't saved him, he would have died long ago. Now, for a woman, he wants to part ways with us?"
Leng Yi smiled and said, "Everyone has their own aspirations. Besides, he didn't do anything wrong. He saved that woman."
"But it's not worth it for a woman like that..." Wang Hao shook his head.
"You can't say that. That woman is also a victim, but she's just not suitable to be with us. Lin Zhen really didn't do anything wrong. He sympathizes with that woman, which shows that he still has a conscience..."
Unlike me, I have already become heartless.
After experiencing the end of two lives, if she hadn't met Leng Yi, she felt that she would be even more selfish and indifferent than she is now.
She doesn't want to be a saint.
She only cares about herself and Leng Yi now, and doesn't want to have an uncertain factor around her. Having a weak woman who is powerless like that around her will only be a trouble.
"But he gained his superpowers because of Leng Yi. He hasn't done anything for Leng Yi yet, and he just left like that." Wang Hao was very dissatisfied.
Leng Yi smiled, "That was just a coincidence. Now it means that our fate has come to an end. I won't force it!"
"It would be great if I had superpowers too." Wang Hao sighed, "Why can't I awaken?"
Yang Qing and Leng Yi exchanged a glance, and Leng Yi patted his shoulder. "There will be a chance later."
Lin Zhen took the woman into his home, opened the door, and found it was empty.
Because of the last ant infestation, everything inside was eaten up, not even the bed was left.
The woman looked around the house curiously, "Is this your home?"
"Yeah!" Lin Zhen nodded and smiled bitterly, "But now there's nothing left."
"Don't we still have these?" The woman pointed at the things Wang Hao brought over. "As long as we don't starve to death, we can still earn back those things."
"You..." Lin Zhen looked at her.
The woman smiled shyly, "Brother Lin, you saved me, and I have nothing to repay you with. From now on, I will follow you and serve you!"
"No need..." Lin Zhen's face turned red and he felt embarrassed.
"Do you dislike me?" The woman's face turned pale, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Do you dislike me because I sold myself? But I didn't want to do that. I was forced to do it..."
"No, that's not what I meant. I don't dislike you." Lin Zhen said quickly, "I just don't need you to repay me. You can recuperate at my house first. When you're healed, you can leave anytime you want."
"I won't leave!" The woman shook her head. "I don't have any relatives anymore. If I leave, I'll die. Now that Young Master Bai is dead, I'll definitely be caught again if I'm alone. I don't want to die."
The woman burst into tears.
"Okay, okay, I won't chase you away. You can stay as long as you want." Lin Zhen said quickly.
The woman burst into laughter, "Brother Lin, you are so kind!" (End of this chapter)
