An Qingge was still a little awkward, her cheeks were flushed, and her clothes were a bit disheveled. It was very uncomfortable to suddenly stop halfway through the game.
But after seeing the four corpses outside the door, that unease disappeared, replaced by another kind of unease.
Then she saw Zhang Lin bring the beautiful woman outside the door into the house.
She was convinced that Zhang Lin liked her very much, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with what Zhang Lin did. On the contrary, she thought Zhang Lin was a kind person.
But she didn't even consider that someone who could kill four people without batting an eye, could he possibly be a good person?
An Qingwu was somewhat worried.
After all, her sisters are currently being supported by Zhang Lin. What if Zhang Lin falls for someone else?
She gave her sister a worried look.
An Qingge maintained a calm expression, which reassured An Qingwu somewhat; it was good that her sister was confident.
Zhang Lin and Ji Yuetong were already seated in the living room.
An Qingge felt that as the hostess, she should be magnanimous. She asked her younger sister to bring water to Ji Yuetong, while she went inside to get some food for Ji Yuetong.
After all, her man had spoken.
"How did they force you to come and knock on my door?" Zhang Lin asked curiously.
Just as Ji Yuetong opened her mouth to answer, she saw An Qingge come out with food. She didn't even glance at the water that An Qingwu was holding, and picked up the food to eat.
She had been without food for two or three days and had survived on water. When she arrived, her stomach was still full of water.
Seeing Ji Yuetong wolfing down her food, An Qingge and An Qingwu were extremely grateful. Luckily, they had Zhang Lin; otherwise, they would be in even worse shape than Ji Yuetong.
After eating a bread roll and a sausage, Ji Yuetong finally felt alive again, and then she began to recount her experience of being captured by Wang Jia and the others.
"These people are so insidious!" An Qingwu, who hadn't yet left the campus and was rather naive, felt a chill run down her spine after hearing Ji Yuetong's story, and gained a deeper understanding of the dangers of the apocalypse.
Zhang Lin asked her, "What are your plans for the future?"
Ji Yuetong is also a great beauty. She is a petite and seemingly delicate girl, but she is very smart and decisive. She dares to take risks to give Zhang Lin a secret signal.
Zhang Lin felt that she was a good candidate for his next target.
Ji Yuetong was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "What can I do? I don't dare to go downstairs. After this meal, I'll just go back to my room and wait for rescue."
“There’s no rescue available.” An Qingge shook her head slightly. “In this situation, it’s good enough if we can survive ourselves, let alone have time to rescue others…”
Ji Yuetong fell even more silent.
Going back to her own room was tantamount to waiting to die. She could clearly see that in the current situation, the only way to survive was to follow the strong.
The stronger one was Zhang Lin, who stood before her.
If it were just Zhang Lin alone, she planned to act cute and coquettish to see if she could persuade him to protect her.
But there are two women here.
The younger one is Zhang Lin's brother-in-law, and the older one is definitely Zhang Lin's woman.
The larger ones are fine; they don't seem to be hostile towards me.
But the little one had been watching me warily ever since I came in.
Ji Yuetong knew that if she rashly asked for help, even if Zhang Lin was willing to help her, the two sisters would not agree.
Zhang Lin could also see Ji Yuetong's predicament, but he didn't say anything. Sometimes, you can't be too proactive, otherwise you'll seem cheap and like a lapdog.
We need to get Ji Yuetong to speak first, so that she'll be more willing to agree.
Neither An Qingge nor An Qingwu spoke.
The two sisters share the same stance.
"Um... Zhang Lin, can I call you Brother Lin?" Ji Yuetong spoke slowly, her voice low and pitiful. "Look at me, I'm all alone, I have nothing to eat, and I'm being bullied by bad people. Can you... protect me?"
As she spoke, she looked up at Zhang Lin, her face seemingly filled with pleading.
Before Zhang Lin could speak, An Qingge said, "We're not having an easy time either. Zhang Lin is already struggling to support three people on his own. If you come with us, I'm afraid none of you will survive."
An Qingwu glared at Ji Yuetong.
She knew that this woman was after her brother-in-law.
Zhang Lin sighed, "You're very smart, and you even gave me a coded message. I wanted to help you, but my wife is right. How could I possibly support the four of us by myself?"
Ji Yuetong was prepared for Zhang Lin and An Qingge's rejections. She knew that if she wanted to stay, she had to demonstrate her value.
"Would you like to stay in a villa?"
She suddenly asked a question, and then continued, "Those villas that have been modified, are well protected, have water purifiers, generators, and a certain amount of food reserves can also be described as post-apocalyptic shelters."
"What do you mean? You have a place like this?" Zhang Lin was genuinely tempted. Living in this kind of apartment was a mixed bag, and even if he was strong, he couldn't protect himself from being harmed by anyone. If he could have a sanctuary, it would be much safer.
Ji Yuetong explained, “I work as a real estate agent, specifically for high-end properties. I have a client who entrusted me with a house before he went abroad, and I still have the keys. He’s a post-apocalyptic enthusiast and always thought the apocalypse would come, so he prepared a shelter in advance. If his business hadn’t failed and he hadn’t been in debt, he would never have sold this house.”
"Tsk..." Zhang Lin looked at her and asked, "Are you telling the truth? You're not just trying to fool us, are you?"
"Of course it's real. We'll find out if the house actually exists when we go and see for ourselves. If it doesn't, you can do whatever you want with me, okay?" She puffed out her chest at Zhang Lin, looking very confident.
"Um……"
Zhang Lin stroked his chin and began to think.
Ji Yuetong was extremely nervous. She believed that this was her only bargaining chip, and if Zhang Lin was not tempted, she didn't know how to ask him to protect her.
Beside her, An Qingwu grinned at her sister, seemingly urging her to persuade Zhang Lin not to agree to Ji Yuetong's request.
She felt that the villa and the shelter were all lies fabricated by this woman, and that Ji Yuetong was just trying to deceive her brother-in-law into protecting her.
An Qingge's gaze was fixed on Zhang Lin.
She didn't think Ji Yuetong was trying to seduce Zhang Lin. If there were a safe haven where everyone could be safe, it would be a good thing.
“Okay, I believe you.” Zhang Lin stood up and extended a hand to Ji Yuetong. “Tell us the location, and we’ll figure out the route and go check out that villa!”
Ji Yuetong revealed her face, her heart overflowing with excitement.
She extended her small hand and placed it in Zhang Lin's large hand. Zhang Lin held her hand and gently shook it: "You won't lack food before we reach the villa, and no one will be able to bully you!"
