In the apocalypse, I have a flying house with unlimited upgrades.

"If someone throws themselves at me, I'll agree to cooperate without hesitation."

Ye Ziming spoke in a loud voice and at a very fast pace. After Xu Shuai finished speaking, he said "Hey" with a suspicious look on his face.

No, something about the meaning behind those words feels off, he was still pondering it.

On the other side, Wang Qing glanced at Zhu Zhu, who was huddled in the corner trembling, raised an eyebrow, and revealed a helpless yet amused smile.

Food and sex are human nature, and how many people can escape this law?

So that's what they like. If I'd known, I would have just brought a whole van full of princesses and let the two brothers pick whichever they wanted. It wouldn't have been a big deal.

"Holy crap, what is Lao Xu up to now? What little sister? I can't believe it..." Ye Ziming was complaining when Xu Shuai's voice came through his earphones again.

Without a second thought, he continued preaching: "What, you're playing dumb now that you can't solve a problem? I knew you were just bragging. All that talk about lacking this and lacking that—frankly, it's just a person, not some mystical figure like you make it out to be."

"Listen carefully, I want a little sister, the kind that's sweet, soft, and adorable. No other styles, absolutely none!!!"

Ye Ziming pursed his lips, his voice trailing off as if he were about to leave.

"Young Brother Ye, please wait a moment. Your request is truly a bit difficult to fulfill..."

Wang Qing gestured to his underlings to bring Zhu Zhu over, and then picked up a large grilled meat skewer and forcefully stuffed it into Zhu Zhu's slightly open cherry-like mouth, which was still in a daze.

Zhu Zhu, out of sorts, stared wide-eyed in panic. A strong urge to vomit caused her to instinctively stick her tongue out, trying to spit out the skewers.

Unexpectedly, Wang Qing skillfully and swiftly used a folded red cloth, along with the skewers, to tightly bind Zhu Zhu's mouth.

The juices from the roasted meat, along with its aroma, overflowed from the red cloth. Zhu Zhu shook her head desperately, and only faint whimpering sounds could be heard from her mouth.

Then Wang Qing used strips of cloth to bind Zhu Zhu's hands behind her back, preventing her from speaking and also eliminating her last means of retaliation.

After making all the preparations, Wang Qing clapped his hands and, feigning a dilemma, shouted:

"Brother Ye, you may not know this, but if it were a few days ago, I could have made you whatever you wanted. Not to mention a little sister, I could have gotten you a whole courtyard full of 'little princesses.' But as you know, things are different now..."

"Hmph, to put it bluntly, it's just that it can't be done, why do you have to make up so many excuses?"

Before Wang Qing could finish speaking, Ye Ziming, who was relaying the message, forcefully interrupted him, as if he was certain that Wang Qing couldn't do it.

The three women who hadn't yet left, except for Yang Kexin, were gazing meaningfully at Xu Shuai, their bright eyes blinking.

Confused, Su Mo and Yin Rui stared curiously at Xu Shuai, whose mouth was opening and closing, their eyes filled with surprise.

So Xu Shuai likes "lolis"?

Upon hearing this, Yin Rui, with her youthful face, secretly felt smug.

That's great. The market for lolis and the like is vast.

Sure enough, the content revealed by videos and the like should not be easily believed.

Who said Xu Shuai likes uniforms?!

"Hey! Young people, they're so hot-tempered and easily agitated. I just said it's difficult, not that I won't do it. Since Brother Ye has honored me with his request for cooperation, how could I, as his older brother, easily give up? Don't you think so...?"

After shouting, Wang Qing waved, and Jia Zheng, who had just rejoined the team, immediately jogged forward.

Upon receiving the instructions, he led a few more people to the four corners of the courtyard wall, where they stood in pairs, stepping on each other's shoulders to observe the situation outside and check if anyone was eavesdropping.

"Oh? Really? You can't possibly conjure up a little sister out of thin air, can you? I have to admire your skills. But let me make this clear: if it's not the type I'm looking for, I absolutely refuse."

"That's for sure. I will do my best to fulfill Brother Ye's request. If there are no conditions, as his older brother, I will do everything I can to create them. Here's what I'll do: give me half an hour, no, at least an hour, and I will fulfill your request immediately..."

"Ha! An hour? Are you planning to just go down the mountain and tie someone up here? I wouldn't do something like bullying innocent girls. If Young Master Wang really has that much influence, parachuting someone in wouldn't be a problem. If you can't do it, then goodbye."

"Alright, since we've come this far, I'll make one out of clay even if I have to do it on the spot. Give me an hour, and I'll make one out for you right here."

"Hmph! If you really can conjure people up, I'm willing to wait an hour for you. But to show my sincerity, you must all stand on the side closest to the iron gate. I need to observe you beforehand."

Wang Qing waved his hand, pushed Zhu Zhu to the ground, and then ordered all his able-bodied underlings to gather at one side of the iron gate.

He didn't care whether Ye Ziming could actually see it or not; he just wanted to do what the other party asked and show his sincerity in advance.

After all, Wang Qing's mission was to do everything possible to delay Xu Shuai and his group for at least two hours.

But he wasn't stupid; he had his underlings hide in the corners on either side of the iron gate to avoid being wiped out by Xu Shuai.

Remembering Xu Shuai's cunning and his self-righteous control of the situation, manipulating it to unfold as he had envisioned, Wang Qing's eyes twitched involuntarily.

Although the situation was extremely complicated, it was successfully delayed as planned. However, Wang Qing always felt that there was an unseen hand in the dark, as if it was secretly pushing things along.

It's a bit like he wanted to dig a hole and get some wild game for a treat, but he was worried about not having a shovel to dig the hole. When he turned around, good heavens, there was not only a hole several meters deep next to him, but also a thoughtful camouflage of dry grass on top.

At the same time, after exchanging demands, both sides fell into a brief silence.

Ye Ziming on the deck, along with the bewildered Su Mo and Yin Rui, gradually pieced together the situation by recalling Xu Shuai's words.

Back in the flying house, Yang Kexin smiled slightly, her gaze lingering briefly on the direction where Xu Shuai was hiding.

Hiding in the courtyard, Wang Qing, feeling increasingly uneasy, seized the opportunity to call over the two henchmen who had searched Zhu Zhu's place.

"Tell me everything, down to the time and place of finding this person, and the entire process of bringing him back, no detail whatsoever." Wang Qing rubbed his smooth forehead.

He needed to confirm whether the process of bringing Zhu Zhu back had been discovered by outsiders, or whether any details that could easily reveal Zhu Zhu's appearance had been left behind.

Wang Qing recalled that Zhu Zhu had made some shouts when they were trying to build up the atmosphere.

But at that time, Zhu Zhu's shouts were weak and accompanied by sobs. Even at a distance of several dozen meters, they were already difficult to hear, let alone from the roadside a hundred meters away.

You should know that after shouting like that, Wang Qing felt that he was almost exhausted, and his voice was starting to get hoarse. He was thinking about whether he should find a loud-voiced underling to relay the message for him.

However, having learned his lesson, Wang Qing felt he couldn't underestimate Xu Shuai and Ye Ziming.
