When we arrived at the self-built house that Yang Muyi had mentioned, it was already past lunchtime.
The house is indeed some distance from the quarantine zone.
It takes about half an hour to walk there.
Yang Muyi appeared very nervous during the process, and she kept trying to speed up.
"This way, I'll take you inside."
Shen Jing followed Yang Muyi through the solid wood gate and into the courtyard.
The self-built house isn't big, but it's very clean.
Looking at the flowers and decorations before her, Shen Jing thought of those home renovation videos she'd seen on social media before the apocalypse. Yang Muyi's house was very similar, even much prettier than theirs.
She became even more curious: why couldn't the house be rented out?
There are two rooms available for rent, one of which still has fresh flowers in it, indicating that the tenant recently moved out.
Yang Muyi walked over with a glass of water, her smile gentle: "How do you feel?"
And you know what? It was sunny and the weather was just right, neither too hot nor too cold.
She almost felt like she was on vacation here.
Shen Jing reached into her bag, took out a small bag of rice, handed it to Yang Muyi, and said, "Hmm, this place is quite nice."
Yang Muyi wanted to grin.
But he immediately glanced nervously behind him.
She stared at the stun gun in front of her stomach, momentarily speechless, "...I..."
Shen Jing smiled, brought the glass of water to her lips, and saw a piece of paper on it: "Who is spying on us?"
Knowing that Yang Muyi wouldn't dare to act rashly, Shen Jing walked to the door and stood there.
Moreover, she was playing with the stun gun in her hand, and with her other hand she picked up a cup and pretended to drink water.
There seemed to be nothing unusual.
But only Yang Muyi knew that he had almost died at her hands just now.
I don't know what made her change her mind...
But she didn't want to die, and she was determined to seize this opportunity!
"Save me... my child is in their hands!" Yang Muyi mouthed to Shen Jing, blocking the flowers facing the bedside.
How many clients have you rented to before? Were they both men and women?
"Yes! All the residents are women, so the house is very clean, don't worry!" Yang Muyi made a five with her left hand and a two with her right.
Shen Jing nodded. "Then tell me, what kind of entertainment is available here during the day?"
After understanding Shen Jing's meaning, Yang Muyi gradually relaxed and answered her question after thinking for a moment: "I usually go out during the day and come back at night. Usually it's just me and the child at home."
Then she raised one finger on each of her left and right hands.
That means there's one man and one woman staying in the house.
Shen Jing guessed something was wrong when she noticed the camera hidden in the flower arrangement. She had sensed an eerie silence when she entered the house, and she hadn't expected that there was actually something fishy going on.
The woman in front of me was clearly not very skilled.
As soon as you try to bluff, you'll immediately give yourself away.
I wonder how much she was involved!
But Yang Muyi seemed to react quickly, immediately starting a casual conversation: "The house used to belong to my mother-in-law and father-in-law, but later they let me and the children move in, at least it's not hot here, right?"
Later, they all ran into trouble and died one after another.
It's just me and my child left; we just hope to survive peacefully by renting a place.
Seeing her teary-eyed appearance, Shen Jing didn't say whether she believed it or not.
After taking a closer look, he finally showed a satisfied expression: "Things will get better in the future."
Yang Muyi was relieved to hear this and said, her voice choked with emotion, "Thank you! Thank you so much!"
She didn't know why she had so much confidence in the girl in front of her.
Then Shen Jing said, "Pour two glasses of water for your child too, he's probably thirsty."
Yang Muyi frowned upon hearing this.
However, seeing Shen Jing's cold eyes, she immediately felt a chill.
"Yes, yes, I'm sure I'll want some water after all this time."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Shen Jing sat on the edge of the bed and slowly took out chewing gum, half a bottle of mouthwash, and two packets of instant noodles.
The person on the other end of the camera was completely stunned.
Although the base is neither too hot nor too cold, as the number of survivors increases, the daily relief supplies are dwindling. Now we have to take turns working at the base to earn points, otherwise we'll starve to death!
I never expected to find such a big fish today!
They were lucky; they were able to sneak a little money off.
They watched with excitement as Shen Jing took more and more things out of her backpack, not even noticing Yang Muyi coming in. When Shen Jing even took out half a bottle of cola and started drinking it, they couldn't resist grabbing the water on the table and drinking some as well.
I just didn't expect it.
The two of them started to feel increasingly sleepy as they looked at the screen.
Finally, as Yang Muyi slowly approached, he stammered, "You...you bitch, you dare to scheme against us..."
Yang Muyi didn't dare to resist before because they took turns changing shifts.
Moreover, the medicine that could be delivered to her was only enough for one woman.
Moreover, the room was full of cameras, so she couldn't even hide a single bit of the medicine.
Looking at Shen Jing on the screen, it was fortunate that she had used the supplies to attract their attention, otherwise she would not have had the chance to hand over the water cup with the added ingredients.
However, the amount is very small, and the two people should wake up soon.
Just as Yang Muyi was at a loss.
Shen Jing walked over. "Kill them."
Yang Muyi's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard.
"Don't you want them to die?"
"Yes!" Yang Muyi blurted out.
Why wouldn't I want to?
These people exploited the greed of the father-in-law and mother-in-law to murder them for money.
That's not all. A few days ago, when her husband brought her to seek refuge, they threw her out to feed the zombies!
If it weren't for her quick thinking in expressing her willingness to stay, she and her child would have died.
The reason she was allowed to stay was because the boss took a liking to her looks...
"You disfigured yourself?" Shen Jing handed her the knife. "Where are the children?"
"It was that boss's woman who wanted to disfigure me; I was just going along with it."
Yang Muyi picked up the knife from the ground, her hands trembling as she clasped them together. "The children are taking a nap; they won't see this."
Did you skip lunch and take a nap?
Shen Jing raised an eyebrow, but did not voice her doubts.
Then Yang Muyi swiftly slashed the man's neck.
You can tell she must have killed chickens before.
After Yang Muyi killed someone, her hands trembled even more violently.
But then he thought about how this woman in front of him actually wanted the boss to kill the child!
Yang Muyi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she raised her hand to strike again!
There wasn't much blood on the ground. Yang Muyi really has potential. No wonder the boss kept her.
It seems that it wasn't just her beauty that attracted him.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Yang Muyi hated him to the core, and all his expedient measures were actually a means to retaliate.
Shen Jing then asked, "What time will they be back tonight?"
Yang Muyi slumped to the ground, wiping her blood-stained hands with her clothes. "...I'll be back at five...normally..."
That's good, they still have a few hours to prepare.
We must nip this in the bud and wipe out the weeds at the root; we can't let a single one escape!
