“I…” An Qingwu’s pink lips parted slightly, too shy to speak. Her eyes looked out the window, the scene outside attracting her attention.
A reborn individual stood at the entrance of his villa, holding a few small bread rolls in his hand. Like feeding animals in a zoo, he casually tossed the bread rolls into the air, and several women pounced on them like monkeys fighting over food.
They attacked each other.
Just for these junk foods that they might not have even glanced at before.
Within Hope City, most able-bodied men have no shortage of food. A group of them can go out to kill zombies, and if they're lucky, they can bring back a few living people, exchange them for contribution points, and then exchange them for food. They can easily make ends meet.
Frail women and the elderly cannot do it.
Not long after the apocalypse began, a very ancient industry had already sprung up in Hope City.
Many women live by selling their bodies.
The men of Hope City, after hunting zombies all day, also need some entertainment to relieve their mental stress.
An Qingwu knew all of this. Ji Yuetong had told her about it, and she could also tell for herself. Sometimes, she would be upstairs watching outside when a man would hand a woman a bag of instant noodles, and the woman would follow the man into the woods.
Meanwhile, the reborn person next door was doing the same thing. He used food to tease the women, and the women, without any dignity, tried to please him like animals.
The reborn one laughed heartily.
A few small bread rolls weren't enough to fill them up. After the women finished their bread rolls, they all gathered around the reborn man, who carefully examined them. After a moment, he pointed to two women who were rather attractive and told them to come into the villa with him.
The other women left dejectedly, like defeated dogs.
An Qingwu suddenly realized that her life now was not much worse than before the apocalypse. Apart from being hungry for a few days at the beginning of the apocalypse, she never lacked food. After arriving in Hope City, she even ate fresh food every day.
Compared to before the apocalypse, her life now is only lacking in entertainment, but compared to the women outside, her life is like paradise.
"Xiao Wu, is there something on your mind?" Zhang Lin moved closer to her, took one of her small hands in his, and stroked her hair with his other hand. "I won't force you. How about I give you a few more days to think about it?"
An Qingwu tensed up completely.
Because An Qingge was almost forced into prostitution by her father, she was very serious about protecting herself and her sister. An Qingwu had never been in such close contact with a man since she was a child.
"Brother-in-law, I don't have that many thoughts. Just be good to me and my sister from now on!" An Qingwu felt her face burning hot. She didn't know how she had the courage to say those words.
Zhang Lin was overjoyed. He looked down into her eyes and asked earnestly, "Then will you be my wife?"
"I..." An Qingwu felt dizzy and disoriented. Wasn't Zhang Lin's wife her sister? In her current state, could she still be considered his wife?
"...I do."
After hesitating for a moment, she lowered her head and said something in an extremely soft voice.
In any case, it sounds much better than "lover" or any other term.
Those women outside would give anything for food; they weren't even considered playthings.
"Congratulations! You have married another wife, bringing even greater prosperity to your family. You have received the following rewards:"
"Self-adaptive Extraordinary Template Awakening Gem *2"
The moment the system's voice rang out, Zhang Lin knew that An Qingwu was also willing to be his woman.
Two more gems, perfect for An Qingwu and Ji Yuetong.
The system seemed to know Zhang Lin's needs; basically, it would give him whatever reward he wanted or lacked.
Zhang Lin had previously thought that it would be great if he could reward two more gems this time, so that Ji Yuetong and An Qingwu could both awaken their extraordinary templates and increase their combat power.
As expected, Zhang Lin got his wish this time.
In the ensuing zombie siege crisis, Zhang Lin had even more trump cards up his sleeve.
"Good boy!"
Zhang Lin smiled and pinched An Qingwu's smooth and elastic cheek, then whispered in her ear, "Don't lock the door tonight, I'm coming to find you."
"I...I understand..."
An Qingwu felt flustered and her face flushed. Her long, slender legs were pressed tightly together, and the hot breath that Zhang Lin exhaled near her ears made her almost completely lose her ability to think.
Standing blankly by the window for an unknown amount of time, An Qingwu was brought back to her senses by a gust of cold wind. At that moment, she realized that Zhang Lin had disappeared.
The thought of Zhang Lin coming to see her that night made her panic. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to go to her sister's room and talk to her.
On the other side...
Zhang Lin had already left his villa and was strolling around Hope City, accompanied by the petite Ji Yuetong.
Hope City is currently packed with people.
However, after the zombie siege, the population here will decrease by at least two-thirds.
The end times are so cruel.
Without strength, one cannot even live a humble life.
Zhang Lin's purpose in coming out was to familiarize himself with the terrain of Hope City, so that he could escape if he failed to defeat the zombies later.
Ji Yuetong, a long-time resident of Hope City, was responsible for showing him the way.
But to outsiders, the two were just strolling around aimlessly, looking here and there.
Of course, in the bustling city of Hope, no one noticed the two people's whereabouts.
Aside from those who know Zhang Lin.
In the distance, Zhang Lin was seen passing by the door again. The owner of one of the houses couldn't hold back any longer. "Is he deliberately loitering in front of my door to provoke me?"
Li Jing couldn't help but speak up in anger.
He looked to be in his early twenties, with a robust physique, ruddy complexion, and full of energy, a stark contrast to the hungry people outside.
"Brother Zhao, how about we go out and take him down?!"
Beside him was another young man, known as "Brother Zhao," who looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He had a normal build and didn't seem particularly special, but his calm expression exuded an aura of authority without anger.
"I'm the one who lost my position as captain of the second team, what's your hurry?" Lu Dazhao glanced at him, his tone very indifferent.
"But you're the captain of the third team now, and he's pushed you out of your position!" Li Jing said angrily, seemingly even more furious than Lu Dazhao.
Lu Dazhao remained unmoved. "My position is being challenged, so naturally I'm unhappy, but if it's him, I'll be completely convinced."
"Brother Zhao, you..."
