Chapter 44: Volume 1 Chapter 44 Black-bellied x Arrogant (8)

Xie Wuchen, with his head lowered, pulled his thin lips into a deep arc, as if the corners of his mouth reached back to his ears, and his shoulders trembled with excitement.

Stupid.

She is stupider than anyone he has ever seen.

He was the one leading the way, deliberately bringing the girl to this area, which is the infamous Evil-doers Organization of City B.

The Evil-doers Organization: its leader was originally a criminal sentenced to death, but after the apocalypse arrived, he escaped from prison, gathered evildoers from everywhere, and formed this organization.

The base sent people multiple times to exterminate them, but the organization's members killed them all; most of them are strong, ruthless men who, after gaining abilities, think not of fighting zombies but of looting anyone who comes near this area.

In the apocalypse, such organizations sprout everywhere; the original law-abiding society had suppressed their nature, but after the apocalypse, their nature was unleashed, and they even wove an early slave era.

All women and men became their slaves; the various organizations exchanged and auctioned them, profiting from it.

This is only a few months after the apocalypse; in a few years, these organizations will become even more mature, to the point that even government bases can do nothing about them.

Xie Wuchen likes this kind of place, filled with malice, where people turn into beasts, with no limits, only endless desire.

Such people are best suited for the apocalypse.

Jiang Zhi didn't notice the ailing Xie Wuchen; she turned her gaze and looked around.

At that moment, the thick iron door was pushed open from outside, and several people entered, suddenly throwing the room's atmosphere into panic; a few people shrank back, trying to avoid their gaze.

The ones who came were there to pick a woman for the leader; their leader likes women, especially torturing beautiful ones, so someone ends up dead each night.

The remaining people, to some extent, understand this, and none want to be chosen by them.

The bespectacled man leading the group walked at a leisurely pace around all the corners.

Jiang Zhi, unsure of the situation, summoned her ability board brick, and like the others nearby, she shrank back.

They were so afraid that it certainly wouldn't be anything good.

Xie Wuchen, sitting beside her, dropped his chain, suddenly stood up, and rushed toward the exit, but several people grabbed him tightly.

The bespectacled man turned his head; at the moment he locked eyes with Xie Wuchen, he froze in place, his eyes gradually losing focus, as if he were being controlled.

Xie Wuchen, whose black short hair covered his brows and eyes, quickly lowered his head, and those people threw him to the ground.

But the bespectacled man walked over to Jiang Zhi in the corner, grabbed her by the collar, and told those behind him, "It's her."

All of this happened too fast; before Jiang Zhi could react to what was happening with Xie Wuchen, she was dragged away.

Lying on the ground, Xie Wuchen's body trembled uncontrollably, the excitement in his pupils growing deeper.

He wanted to see.

He wanted to see——

Jiang Zhi, dragged out of the basement, followed them to a room where two women were waiting for her.

After the bespectacled man led the people away, Jiang Zhi sat on the floor, her face full of panic, cursing them in her heart.

"Is Xie Wuchen even human?"

777: "He isn't."

Jiang Zhi: "..."

777 wanted to say more but stopped: "He is the Zombie Overlord."

He possesses super-high intelligence and terrifying abilities; not only can he control zombie hordes, but he can also control humans.

That bespectacled man just now was being controlled by him.

Jiang Zhi watched as the two women drew nearer, forcing herself to stay calm, and questioned them: "Where is this? Who are you?"

The women's eyes were vacant, their faces expressionless; they obviously would not answer her question.

One woman took each of her arms and led her toward the bathroom inside.

After they gave her a thorough scrub and wash, Jiang Zhi's head, which hadn't been cleaned in nearly a week, became fragrant and clean.

She almost couldn't keep the fear from showing on her face.

She changed into a snow-white gauze dress, fluttered as she danced, stood before the full-length mirror, reflecting her oval face; her countenance seemed veiled in a hazy mist, stunningly beautiful.

Against the white dress, the girl looked like a fairy who had descended from heaven, her aura refined and pure.

A glimmer appeared in the eyes of the two women behind her, but it quickly faded.

Thinking that the girl would become a tortured, icy corpse by tomorrow morning, they lowered their heads, seeming already numb.

Jiang Zhi was in a good mood; since arriving in the apocalypse, bathing and washing hair had been luxuries, and this was the first time she felt so clean.

Soon, the bespectacled man outside knocked on the door and took her away.

Noticing the glances of the two lackeys beside her, Jiang Zhi furrowed her brows, bared her teeth at them, and said, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beauty before?"

The lackeys were stunned at first, then burst out laughing.

Who would have thought the girl would be so bold, still having the presence of mind to say such things at this moment?

Jiang Zhi glanced at the bespectacled man beside her, hesitated a moment, suppressed her fear, and loudly asked, "You guys, where are you taking me?"

The bespectacled man had handsome features, sharp facial lines, his glasses catching a faint moonlight; his voice calm: "Tonight you will be our leader's woman."

Therefore, the place they will take her is only the leader's residence.

Jiang Zhi let out an "oh," realizing she could hardly escape from their grasp, and could only ease her fear by talking to them.

"What's your name?"

The bespectacled man's dark pupils flickered slightly; he raised a finger to push up his glasses, his brows and eyes soft yet mixed with a hint of familiarity.

"Bao Jiu."

Second-in-command of the Evil-doers Organization.

Jiang Zhi looked at his face for a long time, then suddenly said, "Bao Jiu, you resemble one of my lackeys in demeanor and bearing."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, you've also seen my lackey; his name is Xie Wuchen."

Bao Jiu's slender fingers, pressed against the bridge of his nose, suddenly tightened; his expression quickly returned to normal, his pallid, almost translucent complexion flushing faintly, and his tone shifted slightly: "Is that so?"

Jiang Zhi nodded, her snow-white dress catching the bright moonlight, translucent as butterfly wings in flight.

"But he's really cowardly, an idiot."

Just mentioning Xie Wuchen makes her seethe with anger.

The idiot actually still thought about escaping then! Jiang Zhi assumed he was cowardly, but she never imagined that when it came to fleeing, he was braver than anyone.

Bao Jiu's black eyes, hidden behind his lenses, flickered with an utterly unsettling madness as he half-smiled and asked, "Do you dislike him so much?"

Jiang Zhi thought for a moment, then shook her head, tugging at the corner of her mouth and said, "Although he's stupid, he's a real good-hearted person."

That day he actually didn't need to come with her—everyone in Luo Heng's team was stronger and more capable than her, and they could have protected him well.

Unlike her, she hadn't even managed to protect him for two days before being locked up here.

Whether they can leave is the problem.

Without realizing it, she blurted out what was on her mind.

Bao Jiu, standing beside her and having heard clearly, pressed his lips together, a bone-chilling coldness about him.

But his tone remained unchanged.

"You're stupid too—you can't even protect yourself, yet you're thinking about others."
