Zhai Quan cleanly snapped Chen Gui's neck.
A seventh-tier ability user against a seventh-tier zombie, they seemed evenly matched.
But as they say, human bodies mostly can't compete with zombies.
Especially since Chen Gui was already exhausted and injured.
Killing him was child's play for Zhai Quan.
Zhai Quan intended to kill Chen Xin as well, but Zhai Yan stopped him.
Suddenly, two naked men appeared behind Chen Xin.
They subdued Chen Xin while he was off guard, one crippled his legs, and the other raised a stone, smashing it furiously at Chen Xin's face.
"We are beasts!"
"Beasts! Beasts! Beasts!"
"You peed on my face, damn it, I'll make sure you can never pee again!"
The man raised the stone, aiming the sharp end at Chen Xin's crotch, and smashed down with all his might.
After finishing their business, the two men also stripped Chen Xin.
Even though it was covered in blood, having clothes was better than being naked.
Neither of them wanted to wander around naked anymore.
Chen Xin wasn't quite dead yet.
He couldn't believe that he, a dignified seventh-tier ability user, had been reduced to a cripple by two fifth-tier individuals.
Chen Xin used all his might to grab the man's ankle.
The man let out a cold snort, and without batting an eye, broke his wrist.
Chen Xin could no longer even scream and passed out.
The man spat at him and cursed, "You bastard, just wait here to die!"
Night was the peak activity time for zombies and certain carnivorous plants.
But that didn't mean they didn't move during the day.
When they came out to forage, there would be a show to watch.
Unfortunately, they had no time to watch.
The two men were neighbors, classmates, and had grown up together.
Their families had been taken to the base, and with their strength alone, they couldn't rescue them.
But they saw hope in this war.
If that group of people were involved, they could surely help them rescue their families!
The two men immediately walked towards the city wall.
Zhai Yan emerged from the shadows. Chen Xin, seeing him, thought he was human, his lips trembling slightly, seemingly pleading for help.
Zhai Yan waved his hand, "You're back, remember to eat them clean!"
Zhai Quan was deeply moved.
Their boss really cared about him, saving the best for him!
However, Zhai Quan was already full, so he generously gave the food to his subordinates.
The subordinates were quick, and soon the person was completely devoured, not even bones left.
An Nuan returned to the radar base. Her father's men first treated the injured.
Hao Yunfeng tallied the combat losses.
He was greatly shocked when he received the report.
"2034 injured, 3 severely injured, 2 dead. The combat loss rate is incredibly low!"
"It's astonishing!"
Her father had participated in so many military exercises, and such figures had never appeared.
His gaze towards An Nuan changed.
It was filled with admiration and respect.
Juan Juan turned and tugged at An Nuan's clothes: Hungry!
An Nuan quickly took out two live fish to feed him.
"It's not convenient outside, so just eat something simple. We'll have something good when we get home."
Everyone's eyes widened.
Two large green fish, as long as their arms, were considered "simple"?
They suddenly wanted to see what "not simple" looked like...
With the subsequent work mostly handled, the logistics personnel delivered boxed meals.
A bit of local wild vegetables, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and farm-style stir-fried pork, served with rice – these were high-end luxury items in the apocalypse.
Without the supplies provided by An Nuan, this meal wouldn't have been possible.
Everyone held their boxed meals and found places to sit and eat casually.
Da Xiong held his rice bowl but didn't touch his chopsticks. An Nuan could see what was on his mind.
"Stop thinking about it. We'll talk after you eat."
"If this isn't resolved, I really can't eat. I just want to ask her why. Was I not good enough for her? I gave her everything, even Xiong Er didn't have as much authority as her. Why did she betray me and everyone?"
Da Xiong couldn't understand it no matter how hard he tried.
An Nuan felt very sympathetic.
Not for Da Xiong's distress, but for the food.
Such good food would be unappetizing if it got cold!
An Nuan promptly brought Huang Shan forward.
The dark shadow was still controlling her from behind. Huang Shan wanted to die but couldn't, wanted to run but couldn't.
She couldn't even beg for mercy because she couldn't speak freely.
An Nuan: "I allow you to speak now, so don't waste my time. Answer whatever I ask. If you don't answer properly, I'll cut open your head to find the answer. Blink if you understand."
Huang Shan blinked twice to show she understood.
The dark shadow retracted into her shadow.
Huang Shan suddenly lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground.
Her companions pulled her up and made her kneel before everyone.
Everyone ate their fragrant rice, drank ice-cold cola and milk, and fresh juice.
Only she knelt in the middle, trembling.
The scene looked extremely bizarre.
"Da, Da Xiong..."
Huang Shan spoke timidly. Da Xiong excitedly rushed forward and slapped her hard, drawing blood from her nose.
Da Xiong grabbed her collar and cursed:
"If you have any grievances, come to me! Why did you do this?"
"Many people would die, do you know that?"
"What did I ever do wrong to you that you would resort to such a deadly act? Tell me!"
Huang Shan hugged him, crying.
"I'm sorry, I was bewitched, I was wrong. Can you forgive me this once? I've already paid the price!"
Huang Shan held out her hands; only four fingers remained.
An Nuan, bored earlier, had cut off a few more, feeling no guilt.
Huang Shan continued to cry and beg for mercy: "Xiong, just because I've worked diligently for the base, can you spare my life?"
"Considering our past good times, let me off, okay?"
She didn't expect there was this layer of relationship!
An Nuan instantly became a spectator.
Chen Wenjing: [Although Xiong Da isn't particularly handsome, he has a manly charm and a good personality. How could he fall for such a thing?]
Chang Kai Tong: [Agreed, I thought Huang Shan was ugly at first glance.]
Lin Shui: [Maybe he liked inner beauty back then. Now he's realized her external beauty isn't there, nor is her inner beauty. It's a complete disappointment!]
Lan Mi: [So, this is why you men like a pretty face.]
Song Yan: [You don't like it?]
Lan Mi smiled, she liked it, she liked it very much!
Everyone ate and watched the drama, doing both.
Huang Shan hugged Da Xiong's neck, fawning and pleading: "I was truly bewitched for a moment when I did this. I'll definitely be good from now on. Think about what I usually do. The base can't do without me!"
"Ah Shan, the base can function without anyone, including me and Xiong Er. The base belongs to everyone, not to anyone privately!"
Upon hearing this, something seemed to snap in Huang Shan.
She pushed Da Xiong away, revealing a ferocious expression, and cursed: "You useless wretch! I just don't like this about you!"
