DDT - Chapter 11
Chapter 11: Zombie King × Little White Flower (10)
After a long while, the commotion in the isolation room finally subsided. In the large room, all that could be heard were the pained, weak moans of men lying on the floor, and the wild laughter of several women.
The piercing laughter and agonizing groans echoed back and forth, causing Yi Shuhan to frown slightly.
Seeing this, Chi Junluo comfortingly stroked the back of her hand and said softly, "We can leave in a little while. Just ignore them."
What Chi Junluo didn't know was that Yi Shuhan felt a little sick to her stomach. Although she had survived in the apocalypse for over a year and had personally killed many zombies, striking down a living, breathing human was something she had never done.
Even in the most dangerous situations, she had never pushed a companion toward zombies to save herself. Her conscience wouldn't allow it.
But now, the three men lay on the ground before her in twisted positions, their skulls cracked open. A mixture of red and white fluid oozed from their wounds. They were no longer breathing.
Dead.
Although she still felt a pang of guilt, she remembered that these were the men who had intended to assault her and Sister Chi. If they hadn't fought back, they would have been the ones to die at their hands.
It was only then that Yi Shuhan belatedly remembered that the men's iron rods had landed squarely on Chi Junluo. Had she been hurt?
"Sister Chi, those scumbags hit you just now. Are you injured? Let me see!" As she thought this, Yi Shuhan turned her head and anxiously asked about Chi Junluo's condition.
"Don't worry. They're not strong enough to hurt me in the slightest." Chi Junluo turned sideways, a smile in her eyes as she looked into Yi Shuhan's beautiful pupils, seeing the worry and urgency within. She gently raised a hand and, from a distance, flicked a finger in the direction of Yi Shuhan's forehead. A tiny thread of mental power shot out and lightly tapped her head.
Yi Shuhan only felt something soft flick her forehead. It didn't hurt; instead, it was a strange sensation.
Hm, she liked this feeling. At the same time, she remembered just how powerful this beautiful young woman before her was. High-level zombies and Ability Users couldn't harm her, let alone a few ordinary men who couldn't be more ordinary.
Over on the other side, after the women had finished dealing with the scumbags, they returned to their own corners to wait quietly. No one came to disturb Chi Junluo and Yi Shuhan. After all, they had all witnessed their power and brutality. No one wanted to be the next unlucky soul to have their head bashed in.
Yi Shuhan: Meow meow meow? Who are you calling brutal?
The three hours finally passed amidst everyone's quiet anticipation. The timer by the door began to beep. A moment later, the sound of orderly footsteps came from outside. With the "beep" of a card swipe, the thick metal door slid open to both sides. Two pairs of soldiers stood at the entrance, rifles on their backs. They were bundled up tightly in what looked like a special kind of fabric, likely to prevent zombie scratches.
The soldier who appeared to be the officer in charge addressed the men inside. "According to B City Base regulations, any ordinary person who has completely lost the ability to work is not qualified to enter B City Base. We will now assist you in leaving the base."
With that, the soldiers marched into the isolation room. They walked over to the men sprawled on the floor and, ignoring their wails, each soldier dragged one man out like a corpse. They were taken not further into the base, but back toward the main gate where everyone had first arrived. The three bodies in Yi Shuhan's corner were also dragged away. Their fate would likely be to be thrown outside the city walls, left to the mercy of fate, their bodies never to be whole again. After all, in the apocalypse, ordinary people who lost their ability to move had no right to live.
After the soldiers had left, a woman who looked like an administrator entered the room and yelled impatiently at the women still huddled in the corners. "What are you all standing around for? Get the hell out of here! The next group is coming. Hurry up and make some space. Seriously, a bunch of ordinary people with no abilities, dawdling like this. Did dragging a few corpses make you stupid? I think they should have just dragged all of you out to feed the zombies! Save the base some food!"
The administrator stood at the door with her hands on her hips, her face a mask of impatience. The woman who had previously sold out Chi Junluo and Yi Shuhan couldn't stand her attitude and shot back, "Who the fuck are you? You dare talk to me like that? Believe it or not, I'll cut you down!" As she spoke, she brandished the blood-stained iron rod in her hand.
Seeing that someone dared to talk back, the administrator flew into a rage. Ignoring the surveillance cameras all around, she raised her hand and whipped out a lash of fire, striking viciously at the overconfident woman.
As the fiery whip struck the loud-mouthed woman and ignited her clothes, the surrounding women screamed in terror and scrambled away, leaving a human torch in the corner shrieking in agony and begging incoherently for mercy.
Chi Junluo was very displeased with this brutal scene. What if it frightened her dear heroine? She stood up, shielding Yi Shuhan. Leaning forward slightly, she imbued her hands with mental power and gently covered Yi Shuhan's ears. The mental power blocked out the piercing screams, and her body blocked the cruel sight. In an instant, Yi Shuhan's world fell silent. All she could hear was the "thump, thump, thump" of her own rapidly accelerating heartbeat and the warm touch on her sensitive ears.
An unknown amount of time passed. Only after the administrator had called the soldiers to drag away the charred corpse and the other women had silently filed out of the isolation room did Chi Junluo finally let go. She pulled Yi Shuhan to her feet and led her out of the room by the hand.
They could finally enter the base.
Meanwhile, on the top floor of the central building, several surveillance videos from different angles were being transmitted to the computer of a man in a massive office.
The man clicked open a video. He saw a slender, black-haired, blue-eyed woman take down several men with a few beautiful moves. She had taken several blows from the iron rods without any reaction, while the men wielding them had the skin between their thumbs and forefingers torn open from the impact.
"Heh, interesting, very interesting," the man in front of the computer chuckled, watching the video with great interest.
He watched it five or six times but still couldn't get enough. He stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his lips, a sharp glint in his eyes.
Finally, his gaze shifted, and he noticed Yi Shuhan, who had been following behind Chi Junluo the whole time.
"Tsk. Isn't this that old man's daughter? Heh heh, the heavens are helping me." The man bit his lip, his eyes flashing with a lustful light.
I must get my hands on that mysterious woman! the man decided inwardly. He hit the pause button, the screen freezing on Chi Junluo's dashing and heroic figure. The man curled his lips into a smirk, picked up the receiver, and dialed the internal line for the research institute.
On the other side, Chi Junluo and Yi Shuhan walked into B City Base.
Because B City possessed powerful military armaments, a large part of the city had already been cleared and fortified. Although Ability Users were allocated better housing upon entering, the base was vast, so finding a place to live wasn't a problem.
The sky began to darken, and the streetlights flickered on and off, creating a somewhat eerie atmosphere.
Groups of two or three women stood in front of some houses, looking as if they were idly chatting. But whenever a man walked by, their gazes would turn expectant.
As Chi Junluo and Yi Shuhan walked along, they even saw some men following women directly into their houses.
It didn't take a genius to figure out what was going on.
Pimping.
The two were rather speechless. What they hadn't expected was that they, too, had been targeted.
As they passed an intersection, two women in somewhat tattered clothes blocked their path.
"Sister, one loaf of bread for a night. Want to try?" one of them, a girl who looked no older than twenty, asked.
"We'll make you very comfortable!" the other, slightly older woman quickly added.
A dumbfounded Chi Junluo and Yi Shuhan: ???
"You can be on top, too!" Seeing the confused looks on their faces, the two women hurriedly said.
Finally understanding, the faces of Chi Junluo and Yi Shuhan darkened. They stepped to the right, bypassed the two women blocking their way, and quickened their pace to leave this troublesome place.
"Sisters! Won't you consider it? Half a loaf is fine too!"
"Sisters! Don't go!"
The two women didn't give up, continuing to call after them. They had seen that Chi Junluo and Yi Shuhan were cleanly dressed and had good energy, unlike ordinary people. If they could latch onto them, they wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing anymore.
Watching the two disappear around the street corner, the women sighed, returned to their spot, and continued to wait for customers.
Only when they were far away from that shocking corner did the two slow their pace.
To think that the apocalypse was so full of strange things. People were even soliciting women now.
They hurried to find a hotel before the last of the daylight faded. The hotel lobby was in shambles, clearly the scene of a major battle. Fortunately, it had already been cleaned up. There were no bodies, only some dried bloodstains.
After finding a key card at the front desk, the two went up to the second floor and chose a clean room that showed no signs of previous occupants. After locking the door, Yi Shuhan dove onto the large bed.
"Ah! This is so comfortable! It's been so long since I've slept in such a nice place!" Yi Shuhan rolled around on the bed, sighing blissfully.
Only after she was done sighing did she remember that her clothes were dirty, and rolling around on the bed like this was highly inappropriate.
Yi Shuhan stopped rolling, somewhat embarrassed. She scrambled up from the bed and stood up abruptly, looking at Chi Junluo with a slight blush.
Chi Junluo: ???
"Shuhan, what's wrong?" Chi Junluo asked.
"I just remembered my clothes are a bit dirty, so I shouldn't be rolling around," Yi Shuhan said, scratching her head.
"It's fine. You can take your clothes off and then roll around."
Chi Junluo looked at Yi Shuhan with amusement, suddenly thinking, the heroine is really cute.
