Doomsday America

Chapter 131 She Got A! (10k)

The next morning, around 6:10.

Gavin sat up in bed, stretched comfortably, and then lay back down to continue resting.

Ah, he didn't really want to take a shower because a good night's sleep was so comforting.

Especially when you haven't had a good night's sleep for a whole week.

After tossing and turning for seventeen or eighteen minutes, Gavin finally resignedly got up.

Gavin shuffled into the bathroom and, while showering, looked at himself in the waterproof full-length mirror.

Looking into his own eyes, Gavin paused for a moment, then grinned and said.

"Get lost, I don't want to talk to you today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gavin laughed and washed his hair, quickly taking a shower.

Holding a razor and shaving foam, Gavin reached out and rubbed his stubble, shaking his head to shave it clean.

After getting dressed, Gavin lazily walked out of the room, carrying only two pistols, one in each hand.

Upon hearing the sound from the distant sentry post, William turned to look at Gavin, then instinctively stood up and raised his right hand to Gavin from a distance.

"Boss~"

"William? Why are you still on guard duty? Shouldn't you be off duty at six? Where's Lao Feng? Why hasn't he come to relieve you at six-thirty?"

Upon seeing William, Gavin approached the sentry post and asked him in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, William responded with concern.

"Boss, this isn't Lao Feng's fault, it's just... Lao Feng was busy until about 2 a.m. last night, so I wanted him to rest, so I didn't call him to his post."

"and many more?"

Upon hearing William's words, Gavin looked at him strangely and asked.

"Putting aside why Lao Feng was busy until 2 a.m., I just want to know how you knew he hadn't rested by 2 a.m.?"

"Uh……"

Faced with Gavin's persistent questioning, William pursed his lips, thinking, "My boss's nerves are really sharp..."

While secretly admiring Gavin, William continued to explain.

“I found out from Eugene. My cousin came back from the broadcasting room at 2 a.m. last night. He said he had just finished communicating the data with the astronauts, and Lao Feng happened to be there delivering the radio. He converted the repeater that was meant to extend the walkie-talkie signal range into a radio!”

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Gavin nodded knowingly.

He had instructed Lao Feng to modify the walkie-talkie yesterday, and Lao Feng seemed to want yesterday's events to end yesterday.

Even if it couldn't be finished yesterday, he would rather stay up until midnight than drag things out until today.

This personality...

Gavin found it somewhat admirable.

This fellow countryman from the East, though possessing a bit of the big mouth typical of people from Northeast China, and a bit of the shrewdness inherent in most ordinary people in the East.

Gavin really admires his "do it today" attitude.

And William...

Seeing Gavin fall silent, William couldn't help but purse his lips and say something.

"I'll go wake him up now, boss, don't blame him. Actually, even if I don't wake him up, he'll probably wake up in a little while anyway."

"It's alright, no need to wake him. Since it's already past six o'clock, let him rest a little longer."

Gavin said to William.

"When you stand up for him, go find Abel this afternoon and ask him to stand up for you for a shift as well."

“I haven’t assigned Abel any work yet. Besides taking care of Arturo, he doesn’t have any other jobs for the time being. Arturo doesn’t actually need constant close care.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gavin patted William on the shoulder.

William nodded excitedly, then sat back down at his post and casually asked Gavin.

"Boss, are you up at this hour to take the dog for a walk?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Gavin glanced at William with amusement and casually remarked.

"Okay, I'll take the dog out for a walk and we'll go fishing by the river for a while. I'll teach you how to fish when you have time."

After saying this, Gavin patted William on the shoulder, then left the second floor and went down to the first floor to take the dog out of the manor.

When the four dogs saw Gavin, three of them ran around wildly, but one of the German Shepherds seemed to have been listless for the past few days.

Gavin glanced at the German Shepherd, then sadly patted its head. The German Shepherd finally raised its head and looked sadly at Gavin.

That was his mother's dog, named Barry, who came to their home when he was about eight years old.

In other words, this old guy is almost eighteen years old.

A week ago, Barry, despite his age, was still in good health and could run and jump around without any problems.

But ever since his parents died, Barry has felt a void in his heart.

After witnessing its parents being buried in the ground, and seeing old Bert, Gavin, Steve, and a series of other familiar faces.

Its last worries about the manor and its belief in protecting it seemed to have vanished with the biting southeast wind.

Gavin knew that Barry hadn't eaten since yesterday morning.

Perhaps she has already chosen her own time.

Thinking of this, Gavin sighed sadly and gently rubbed Barry's head.

Barry, using her calloused front legs that had long since worn away their fur, lay on the ground, turned her neck, and placed her head and her already pale mouth on Gavin's shoes.

Feeling Barry's warmth, Gavin silently stayed with Barry for two minutes, then led the remaining three dogs away from the manor and to Octavian's side.

Gavin retrieved two dried carrots from a nearby hay bin, fed Octavian some treats, and then rode his horse with the dog, carrying a full set of fishing gear, across the road to find a place to rest by the river.

After fishing for more than twenty minutes, Gavin faintly heard the sound of new hooves behind him. Gavin turned around and saw Steve grabbing his cowboy hat and bowing to him.

Steve rode up to Gavin's vicinity, dismounted, took out his fishing rod, and sat down next to Gavin.

Steve glanced at his watch and said with a smile.

"There's still an hour before breakfast, bro, let's see who gets more!"

As he spoke, Steve tilted his head and glanced at Gavin's fish basket. After confirming that there was nothing there, he smiled even more broadly.

Noticing Steve's expression, Gavin grimaced and cursed.

"What are you laughing at, kid? Don't forget I'm the one who taught you how to fish."

"Haha, bro, you always like to call me 'kid,' as if you've lived decades longer than me~"

Hearing Gavin's words, Steve smiled and said to Gavin.

"Besides, fishing is a skill, and while you did teach me how to fish, you clearly didn't teach the fish how to bite your hook, bro."

After speaking, Steve looked at the water around him, then chose an area with abundant aquatic plants and cast his fishing hook there.

At this point, he stood there holding his fishing rod, waiting quietly.

Gavin sat on the ground with his right leg bent and flat on the floor, his right elbow supporting his right leg, his left leg tucked up, and his left hand resting on his left knee.

Seeing Gavin's relaxed demeanor, Steve stood there and said.

"Brother, although I know you know how to fish, it takes more than just skill to get a bite. You also need a strong belief. Even if I were a fish, I wouldn't go after a lazy angler like you."

"Well, you're right."

Gavin nodded.

"Maybe I really didn't consider fishing an important thing to do."

After saying that, Gavin turned to look at Steve and asked softly.

"Steve."

"I'm here, brother. What can I do for you?"

"What are you telling me? Do you want me to not catch even a single fish and embarrass myself? Stop messing around."

Gavin chuckled and continued asking.

"Tell me your thoughts on everyone."

"view?"

Upon hearing this, Steve looked at Gavin, hesitated, and frowned.

Then, he nodded knowingly and smiled.

"That's right, you're always very suspicious. Just like the master always says, you're always simulating scenarios of being killed by everyone around you."

"However, the people in our camp right now..."

At this point, Steve paused for a moment, then sighed and said with a wry smile.

"The people in the camp are really nice, but that's also their downside, because they're so nice that it always reminds me of the atmosphere before the apocalypse."

"Although it's been a short time, I've already found a few guys I can trust, and I believe some people trust me in the same way. That's a good foundation, boss."

"As for the bad side, I don't know how to describe it. Everyone's strengths are outstanding, but so are their weaknesses. We are not perfect either, including you, brother."

"Eugene was an excellent shot and very energetic, but his mind was full of whimsical ideas."

"Madison was honest and reliable, and physically strong, but he seemed to prefer choosing a leader to follow and didn't like to express his own opinions or views."

“William is sometimes taciturn, sometimes incredibly talkative. He is very reliable when he is at home, but if he goes out to explore, he is probably more likely to trust strangers than I am.”

"As for me, I know you always think I'm a bit too kind, but I'm proud of it, brother."

"Kindness should never be the target of criticism, and the kindness that is criticized is often just hypocrisy. Many people can't tell the difference, can they?"

"And then there's Sariel, the gentle milking machine, the hardworking star of hope. I believe many people are watching him. If he can truly shed his fat and emerge from his cocoon like a butterfly, his existence will inspire many people."

"And then there's Feng, the honest yet shrewd guy from the East. His personality is a bit different from the scoundrels here; he'll need some time to integrate."

"As for the women in the house, haha, they're all pretty good, aren't they? Each one is younger than the last, and many are beautiful. Nikita is as aloof as an empress, and Winnie, I bet she'll be even more beautiful than Hermione Granger in the movies."

At this point, Steve suddenly turned to Gavin, a mischievous expression on his face.

"So which one do you like, boss? Anyone with eyes can see that they both have feelings for you!"

"Heh, how many women in America aren't interested in me?"

Gavin responded coldly, then unconsciously moved the fishing rod in his hand.

"Besides, Steve, Winnie is still a child. You can't throw your Captain America-like conscience to the back of your mind when it comes to women."

"Ha, okay, kid, but when I was in seventh grade, a girl named Ida, who was a year younger than me, taught me how to make us both comfortable, right there in my family's barn. You and Daphne went there together later, weren't you in seventh grade then too?"

Steve suddenly interrupted Gavin, saying to him with a teasing expression.

"Then I thought about it, how old were you and Daphne back then? Anyway, not older than me. Tsk tsk, in Texas, as long as the parents agree, the kids can get married at sixteen."

"Even so, apart from those Puritan families, there aren't many girls who are pure enough to be worthy of a white wedding dress at their wedding, are there?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Steve's eyebrows twitched, and then he yanked the fishing rod sharply, pulling up a bighead carp.

Seeing that he had caught fish so quickly, he shouted excitedly and threw the fish into Gavin's fish basket.

Gavin glanced blankly at the fish basket.

Okay, my fish basket is finally not empty anymore, but it wasn't my doing. Why do I suddenly feel like my fish basket has been NTR'd?
Thinking of this, Gavin smiled and shook his head, then turned and cursed at Steve.

"Stop talking nonsense and just go fishing, you idiot."

"But you still haven't answered my question. Nikita or Winnie, which do you prefer?" Steve continued to press.

Upon hearing this, Gavin shook his head with a smile and cursed.

"Only children make choices. As for me, there are too few women in the camp."

"I don't want to be so eager to party every night, letting you bastards covet my woman all day long. I won't let my life become the material for your nighttime fantasies, you bastards."

"Ha ha!"

Steve was amused by Gavin and quickly said something to him.

"Boss, even if every man has a wife, no one would use their wife as material for fantasies, right?"

Steve retorted while laughing even louder, and then he continued.

"Besides, women are the same. What woman lies in bed fantasizing about her husband? They still fantasize about other people, and that person is most likely you!"

"Because you are Gavin, the emperor of the Super Bowl. Before the apocalypse, you were the hottest person in all of America, bar none!"

"That's so unfair! I've always thought I was more handsome than you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Steve stomped his foot on the water, splashing Gavin with the icy river water.

"Hiss, what are you talking about, whether it's about watering or the fact that you're more handsome than me!"

Gavin felt a sudden chill, then slapped the water, spraying it all over Steve's pants.

"Hey!"

Steve grunted in dissatisfaction.

"Boss, I got your back wet, but you soaked my pants. If someone sees this, they'll think I peed my pants!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Steve, not caring about getting his shoes wet, slid his feet through the river water and splashed Gavin all over.

Gavin's hair was soaked, so after a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly flipped over, grabbed the fish basket, and sprayed Steve with a torrent of water, leaving him completely drenched...

So, about five or six minutes later.

Steve and Gavin, soaked to the bone, rode home in a disheveled state and quietly entered the hall.

"Pfft!"

On the second-floor corridor, William couldn't help but chuckle, and was immediately met with two pairs of cold, glaring eyes.

Meeting their gazes, William tried his best to suppress his laughter and turned himself as far out the window as possible.

Gavin and Steve slunk upstairs and headed to their respective rooms.

But just as they stepped onto the corridor...

Click!

Doris's door opened, and Winnie jumped out of the room.

Only Winnie came out, because Doris was the earliest riser in the entire camp; she got up before 5:30 to prepare breakfast.

And Winnie...

"Boss? Steve?"

She originally wanted to greet William first, but the sudden appearance of Gavin and his companion was so eye-catching that she couldn't take her eyes off them.

Faced with Winnie's suspicious and surprised gaze, Gavin and Winnie were both taken aback, and then hurriedly scurried into the room.

Seeing the two disappear without saying a word, Winnie opened her mouth in surprise and turned to ask William.

"Officer, what happened to the boss and the others? Did they go to the bath together?"

"No, they were fishing before, then they started 'fishing'... well... at least they caught one fish, right?"

William answered, forcing a smile.

Upon hearing this, Winnie opened her mouth in surprise, forming an "O" shape, and then looked at Gavin's door in disbelief.

So the boss is a real person after all?

No, no!
How could I think like that!

What I mean is, so the eldest brother can be lively at times too?

Thinking of this, Winnie couldn't help but purse her lips; she was so unwilling!
I wish I had gotten up earlier! How could I have missed such a fun scene? I'm so envious of William!
Thinking of this, Winnie hesitated for a few seconds, then muttered something under her breath.

"Um...it's really cold outside, I hope they don't catch a cold. I'll go make them some coffee, hot coffee, please!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Winnie rushed to Gavin's door and pushed it open.

The moment the door swung open, Gavin, who was taking off his stab-proof shirt and throwing it on the floor, immediately let go of the shirt, turned around, drew his gun, and pointed it at the doorway.

The door had only been pushed open halfway when Gavin saw Winnie. He quickly holstered his gun, as if nothing had happened!
He was so fast that by the time Winnie saw Gavin, she only heard a faint echo of mechanical noise.

Winnie, with a satisfied pursed mouth, glanced greedily at Gavin's upper body and chuckled as she spoke to him.

"Boss, do you want some hot coffee? I... I'll go get some for you right away."

"So, whether I want coffee or not, you'll drink it anyway, right?"

Hearing Winnie's incoherent voice, Gavin chuckled and went to the door, grabbed Winnie's newly tied pigtails, and dragged her out the door.

"Remember to knock next time."

After saying that, Gavin slammed the door shut.

And Winnie...

"Oh yeah!!!"

She jumped up excitedly, then ran out of the corridor and headed towards the restaurant.

Seeing Winnie's appearance, William chuckled and waved to her, asking her a question.

"Hey, what did you see, kid? What did you see?"

"Hehehe, it's a handsome guy! I saw a handsome guy without clothes on!"

Winnie gave William a strange laugh in response, then rushed into the restaurant area.

Watching Winnie disappear around the corner, William finally didn't need to hold back his laughter anymore, and he immediately burst out laughing and slapped his thigh.

Soon after.

Winnie, carrying the coffee pot, shuffled her long legs to the sentry post and handed one of the cups to William.

"Thank you, Winnie."

William smiled and nodded to Winnie, who then hurried to Steve's door, knocked on it, and brought him a drink as well.

Now there was only one cup of coffee left, so Winnie knocked expectantly on Gavin's door. Click.

The door opens.

Gavin, who had only changed into a clean pair of jeans, stood at the door, looking at the little girl with a big smile.

Upon seeing Gavin, who was still shirtless, Winnie bit her lip in surprise, then tried to remain calm, but her voice sounded anything but calm as she spoke to Gavin.

"I... I'll put it on the table for you, and I'll also take your wet clothes with me, okay?"

"Okay, consider it a thank you gift for bringing me coffee."

Gavin welcomed the little girl in.

It was Winnie's first time entering Gavin's room, so she swallowed hard and made no attempt to hide her observation of everything around her.

After confirming that Gavin's room was cleaner and tidier than she had imagined, Winnie's eyes lit up with satisfaction, and she whispered to Gavin.

"Boss, you're changing clothes so slowly, hehe~"

"Oh, I just thought you seemed to enjoy watching this kind of thing, so I waited for you here for a while."

Gavin retorted without hesitation, and Winnie blushed deeply. She quickly put the coffee on the table, then picked up Gavin's wet clothes and headed for the door.

Just as she reached the door, Winnie suddenly couldn't help but say something to Gavin.

"Big brother, I talked to my mom last night, and I feel like I'm all grown up now, so I want to sleep in a separate room from her, and she agreed!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Winnie looked down at the tips of her shoes, trying to hide her face, nervously awaiting Gavin's response.

Upon hearing this, Gavin paused for a moment, then smiled.

"That's great! This will make things much easier if I need to discuss something with Doris tonight."

"Boss!!!"

Winnie immediately bristled, and Gavin swore he really saw the ends of Winnie's hair stick up slightly.

Before Gavin could say anything more, Winnie angrily quickened her pace and strode toward the door.

But just as she reached the door, she stopped, threw her clothes to the ground, and then turned and ran back to Gavin.

Don't stop me!
Don't stop me!
At this moment, Winnie was extremely nervous, and even when she was still more than a meter away from Gavin, she pounced on him.

Gavin was startled; he thought the kid was trying to swat him (in rugby terms), and he almost gave the little girl a hard elbow.

And the next moment.

thump!
Winnie buried her face in Gavin's chest, pawing at his latissimus dorsi with her wet paws, and stammered.

"Thank you for saving us, I will never forget that day!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Winnie quickly let go of Gavin and fled back to the door, picking up the wet clothes on the ground with lightning speed.

Looking at Winnie at this moment, Gavin shrugged, and then, seeing Winnie's extremely nervous state, he went behind her and gently patted her head, and laughed.

"I didn't expect you to be the first A to come up (initiate the attack)."

"Why can't it be me? I was the first one, that's how it should be!"

Winnie was a little discouraged and unhappy; she swore this was not the kind of thing she wanted to hear.

Gavin, in response to Winnie's reply, reached out and pinched Winnie's flushed cheek, tugging at the soft flesh and scolding her with a laugh.

"What kind of bullshit order is this? What do you take me for? A customer you can just buy as long as you work hard, kid?"

"If it's not just about doing the work, I mean, if it's for the boss, I'd be willing to be the bait!"

Winnie tilted her head back and looked stubbornly at Gavin.

Gavin paused for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said.

“The environment has changed. I don’t need bait now. I just need you all to live well and do what you’re supposed to do.”

"Will the boss do what you're supposed to do, like giving me at least a hug in a time like this? I think I deserve that hug!"

Winnie continued to stare stubbornly at Gavin.

Upon hearing this, Gavin paused slightly in his hand, which was ruffling Winnie's hair. He then decisively released Winnie's head, opened his arms, reached under the little girl's armpits, and easily lifted her up as if she were a baby...

Then, without hesitation, he embraced the little girl in his arms.

When she was lifted high, the little girl's body stiffened suddenly, and she almost cried.

But then, she suddenly went limp.

After a brief hug, Gavin put her down and put his hand on her shoulder, saying something.

"This is just a sign of your insecurity. Go back and figure out what you're thinking. This is a one-time thing, don't let it happen again."

"Yeah, I promise next time it won't just be a hug!"

Winnie, trembling, remained defiant, then squatted down to pick up her clothes, and forced herself to remain calm as she walked out of the room.

The moment she closed the door, she pounced on the laundry room like a wild horse, staying inside for a long time and refusing to come out.

Gavin stood staring at the door for a moment, then continued changing his clothes. Once he was dressed, he sat down on the sofa in the living room to read a novel.

Old Feng also rushed out of the room in a panic, striding to the sentry post, and said to William with a face full of worry and shame.

"I overslept, damn it, I overslept, I'm so sorry!"

"It's alright, the boss told you to rest for a while. I'll stand guard a little longer, and Abel will take over my afternoon shift."

William responded gently, and the two chatted about the topic for a while.

Meanwhile, the other people in the camp gradually woke up and came out of their rooms one by one.

Soon after, at the breakfast table.

Gavin looked around; Horst, old Bert, old Von, Nikita, and Arturo were not there.

Old Feng and Old Bert were on the sentry post and the broadcasting post, respectively.

Horst doesn't eat breakfast, so he always waits until everyone has finished eating, especially after the field crew has left, before he comes out to clean.

Arturo, needless to say, will have to stay in bed for at least a few more days, and that's assuming he's lucky enough not to get infected.

But Nikita...

Gavin couldn't help but frown and ask a question.

"What about Nikita? Does anyone know anything about her?"

"I gonna go see!"

No sooner had Gavin finished speaking than Winnie stood up and interrupted him.

She didn't want to give Gavin a chance to worry about Nikita. Even if Gavin was still worried, she had to make sure that her presence was felt in his worries!
Seeing Winnie volunteer, Gavin reached out, grabbed the PV pistol, threw it to Winnie, and said to her.

"Go knock on the door and make sure."

"Ok!"

Holding the pistol, Winnie became even happier.

The leader wasn't just worried about Nikita's safety; he was also worried about himself.
Filled with imagined happiness, Winnie arrived at Nikita's door, gripped her pistol, and gently knocked.

A short while later, Nikita, dressed in loose pajamas, opened the door without any regard for her image and glanced at Winnie with her calm, still eyes.

After a quick glance, Nikita's sharp eyes locked onto Winnie's pistol, and she spoke.

"You finally couldn't resist shooting me? And with an officer's gun no less? You're not just killing me, you're destroying my spirit too?"

"Nikita, I just came to see why you haven't had breakfast!"

Winnie smiled and put away her gun, while Nikita began to explain.

"The officer said I could sleep in, but I... I've never slept in before, so I want to give it a try."

"But this feeling is not good. I don't know why people like the feeling of lying in bed doing nothing."

"Every moment spent not dancing is a waste of life."

"My mother taught me not to waste my life, and I think she was right."

After speaking, Nikita closed and locked the door again, then lay back down on the bed.

She wasn't sleeping in; she was recuperating from her injury, yes, recuperating from her injury!
That wretched Winnie, she's been delaying my recovery... Ugh...

My mother ordered me not to waste my life, but my superior ordered me to sleep in.

Huff...exhale...um...I prefer what the officer says.

Mom isn't always right, is she...? *snoring*

Outside the door, he watched as Nikita, utterly lacking in emotional intelligence, refused to let him in.

Winnie couldn't help but grind her teeth.

Nikita, you're really lucky, especially if you were at my school.

Believe it or not, I'll get my girlfriends to bully you in a heartbeat!
At this moment, Winnie could only roll her eyes and return to the dining table, handing the gun back to Gavin as she spoke.

“Nikita is safe. She hasn’t turned into a zombie. She just wanted to sleep in.”

"Hmm? You sound a little disappointed? You actually wanted her to turn into a zombie, didn't you? Are you some kind of naturally evil brat? I'm starting to worry that you might shoot me in the back~"

As soon as Winnie finished speaking, Adriana gave a cold laugh and made a sarcastic remark.

But the next moment...

Click!

click!
clang!
Wow!

In an instant, Steve, Madison, William, and Eugene sprang into action, with Steve even drawing his silver gun and pointing it at Adriana's head.

As for Eugene, he slammed his revolver on the table and started cursing at Adriana.

"Don't think you can talk big just because we've slept together!"

He saw that a large group of people were immediately taken aback by his teasing of Winnie.

Adriana quickly looked at Gavin.

Meeting Adriana's pleading gaze, Gavin swallowed a mouthful of the breakfast wontons Cao Xinyan had made for Doris and said.

"Can't you tell what's a joke? All of you, sit down."

Wow!

This time, Steve, Madison, Eugene, and William sat down in an exceptionally neat manner.

Standing to the side, Old Feng stared in shock at Steve and his three companions, amazed by their perfect coordination!
That wasn't the result of specially trained uniformity; it was Steve and the other three's instinctive first choice when faced with orders!

This shows that there is a level of understanding between Gavin, Steve, and the other three that goes far beyond that between ordinary superiors and subordinates!

And Adriana.

Before Gavin could continue speaking, she reached out and grabbed her collar, teasingly saying to the silent Winnie.

"I apologize, kids, I've never been a smart person, but how can I prove my 'boob' (stupidity) by showing you?"

At this point, she grabbed her collar and pulled it down, generously showing everyone her chest, before quickly pulling her clothes back up.

"Boob" means fool or idiot, and also refers to stupidity.

But this word also means... Confucianism.

Seeing Adriana's shamelessness, Winnie's previously unhappy mouth suddenly turned into a surprised "O".

Gavin slammed his hand on the table again, annoyed, and began to curse.

“Adriana, if you’re going to show off your boob again, then every morning from now on you’ll be responsible for filling everyone’s cups with your stupidity, so that no one has to spare the energy to raise cows and milk them, you idiot!”

After saying that, Gavin slammed his plate down, then continued eating.

Everyone put Winnie's matter aside and continued eating breakfast with smiles, even Winnie wasn't angry anymore.

Of course, there was another dissatisfied person at the table, and that was Cao Xinyan.

At this moment, she is pouting as she feeds her quiet son a small wonton.

As she fed her, she turned her head and glanced weakly at Adriana.

Where do all these open-minded women come from in America? How am I supposed to keep my husband's eyes from looking? Even if he doesn't want to see, those slutty little bitches are already putting their prey right in front of him!
I feel so angry! It's unreasonable to blame my husband, but I'm also unwilling to let it go.

"Hey hey hey! What are you doing, honey?! You've poked a wonton up our son's nose!"

Old Feng hurriedly moved Cao Xinyan's spoon away, and after a slight pause, Cao Xinyan suddenly stuffed the spoon and wontons into Old Feng's mouth.

"You're talking too loudly."

She said calmly, then forcefully pulled the spoon out.

And so, breakfast ended in a farce.

Since Gavin had already told everyone about what happened this morning last night, there was no need for him to repeat it, so everyone waited patiently in the lobby.

After Gavin returned to his room to retrieve his equipment, he reappeared in the lobby and saw Doris and Cao Xinyan in their exaggeratedly armed outfits.

They were wearing at least two coats, and had leather straps wrapped around their forearms and calves more than once.

From a distance, those weren't two married women; they were practically two smaller versions of Kratos, the God of War!

As for the bald scorpion-headed Arturo, he awkwardly raised his hands and asked.

"Can I really carry a gun? I don't mean to do anything, but I thought I'd have to wait a while, right?"

"fine."

Hearing Arturo's words, Gavin casually tossed him a Glock 17.

Guns are indeed dangerous, but for someone who truly intends to kill, it's dangerous whether they have a gun or not.

Have you not seen that guy from Tiexi who used a wallpaper knife to cut from the bathhouse to his own residential area, slicing the necks of more than a dozen people?

They didn't yell or shout when they made the move. They just calmly walked over to you, gave you a quick slap, and then left.

After watching the video, you'll find it hard to understand because one of his targets was a victim who was even standing on the roadside chatting with a friend.

But he just leaned over, put his arm around the victim's neck as if to greet him, and very naturally took a utility knife and made two cuts on the victim's neck, cutting open the victim's throat before leaving.

The whole process was natural and swift; even when the victim suddenly collapsed, his friend opposite him hadn't realized what had happened.

People didn't realize what had happened until blood began to gush and splatter a few seconds later, and this was the case for most of the victims.

A person with murderous intent would sharpen a toothbrush, a twig, or a fork.

They'll approach you when you're dressed lightly, exchange pleasantries discreetly, and then casually slap you in the eye or lower back.

Aside from Gavin, whose reaction time is far beyond that of ordinary people, how many other people could react in time?

Therefore, Gavin would not ban his team members' weapons under the threat of zombies. He even wished that every member of the team could wield two M249 machine guns at any time.

Or perhaps they could each carry a Scorpio ammunition pack and hug a Gatling gun.

In short, Gavin's task was to analyze the psychological state of each person as much as possible when there were few people around, in order to prevent the killing from happening at its root.

Then, as the number of people in the camp increased and he could no longer pay attention to everyone, he issued comprehensive legal regulations and strictly enforced them, using the system to restrain and reduce the occurrence of similar incidents.

Instead of focusing solely on confiscating firearms to cripple their own hands and feet.

Across from him, Arturo took the pistol and, with a sigh, tucked it into his coat.

Then, he couldn't help but speak to Gavin.

“Boss, I’ve been following Cassius for five days, and all I’ve ever eaten is two hot canned meals, not to mention all I’ve gotten is a stun gun.”

"Compared to Cassius, you are the one I'm more willing to risk my life for, I..."

Snapped!
Before Arturo could finish speaking, Adriana slapped him hard on the back of the head.

"What the hell are you talking about? How could a bastard like Cassius possibly compare to the boss!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Adriana turned to Gavin and continued with a charming laugh.

"By the way, boss, do I still need to practice on zombies?"

"Uh……"

When faced with Adriana's question, Gavin gave her a strange look and then said.

"You don't need to, unless you want to pull the zombie's basket down too..."

"Haha, thanks for the approval, boss! I knew you'd appreciate me~ Mmm~"

Adriana immediately blew Gavin a kiss, and Winnie's lips immediately pouted like a little duck, wishing she could fly over and block the kiss for Gavin.

And Gavin.

He looked around and then spoke.

"Why hasn't Horst come down yet? Didn't anyone notify him last night?"

"This one……"

William couldn't help but rub his hair, and said to Gavin with a wry smile.

"Boss, Horst is pretty unsociable. Anyway, I didn't talk to him last night. I guess everyone else thinks the same way?"

The crowd immediately nodded in agreement with William's words, and then all looked at Adriana.

Meeting everyone's gazes, Adriana curled her lips into a crooked smile, raised her middle finger, and said...

"Why are you all looking at me like that? I was just messing around with him, you're not going to make me take responsibility, are you? No way!"

"Alright, William, call that guy over the intercom!"

Gavin waved to William, who immediately took out his walkie-talkie, turned it on, and spoke.

"Host, come to the lobby. Everyone's waiting for you there. We're going to find the first zombie combat exercise..."

"Real combat? What? We're going to find zombies? What the hell? I..."

"Stop fucking dawdling, you little pup, get your ass over here right now, and stop letting them keep looking at me like I'm dog shit, you bastards!"

Before William could finish speaking, Horst started complaining. But before Horst could finish, Adriana let out a loud, nested shout that silenced the walkie-talkie!

Almost instantly...

Gavin assured that it was absolutely instantaneous, probably not even lasting a second.

Horst walked out of the room, trembling...
