Damn zombies, how dare they disguise themselves as humans!

In front of the door,

Seeing that Luo Tian seemed somewhat tempted, Hai Ge gestured for the people behind him to put down their weapons and pressed on while saying, "Kid, there will only be benefits and no harm in following me. The city is full of zombies now, and other cities are about the same. Your strength is ultimately limited, and you will die sooner or later if you fight alone."

After saying that, perhaps thinking of something, Hai Ge raised his eyes slightly and said with a hint of ambition, "Besides, I'm not a short-sighted person. I definitely have the ambition I need. This place is just a temporary refuge. When the time is right, it will be my time to make my mark. In short, follow me, and you will definitely thrive in this post-apocalyptic paradise. You might think I'm bragging, but you'll soon believe it without a doubt."

"How can I trust you won't kill me?"

Luo Tian glanced warily at the crowd behind Hai Ge: "What if you lure me in and then attack me when I'm off guard? I'd be dead for sure!"

"If I really wanted to kill you, would I have been standing here babbling on and on? I would have ordered the men behind me to rush over and chop you down already."

Hai Ge chuckled, "I took you in because I saw a ruthless streak in you, and you have a good temperament. You weren't afraid of any of us and remained very calm. What's the most important thing these days? Talent!"

Seeing that Luo Tian was still watching him warily, Hai Ge could only say, "Alright, if you're really worried, you can keep the dagger in your hand as a precaution. If I really have ill intentions, you can take someone down with you, or even just drag me down with you. Is that alright?"

"..."

Luo Tian hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Alright, brothers, get back to work. I'll personally show the younger guy around."

Hai Ge smiled and waved. After everyone went back inside, he stood there and waved to Luo Tian, ​​showing no concern for his safety.

Luo Tian hesitated for a moment, then picked up the dagger and walked over, feeling relieved.

Successful.

When he sneaked in earlier, he happened to overhear a few people chatting. It was roughly about how Brother Hai wanted to recruit people, preferably those with courage.

Therefore, he barged in and faced the group of people alone, completely unfazed and ready to fight them head-on.

The system's determination requires contact with the target, but this mission is different from the previous ones, so it's impossible to sneak in; we have to find another way.

Fortunately, everything went relatively smoothly. By taking advantage of what he overheard, making a show of himself, and striking a pose, he successfully caught Hai Ge's eye, who planned to recruit him as a subordinate.

"Aren't you afraid I might suddenly kill you?"

Reaching Hai Ge, Luo Tian gestured with the dagger in his hand: "At this close range, killing you would be a piece of cake."

"First, we have no grudge against each other, so you have no motive. Second, even if you kill me, you won't escape. You'll either be caught and killed by my brothers, or you'll be bitten to death by the zombies outside in your panic. Besides, you probably broke in here to find a hiding place to escape the horde of zombies and survive. Now that I've taken you in and let you live, why would you seek your own death?"

Hai Ge turned around and walked away, talking as he went. His analysis was very logical and he seemed relaxed, completely unguarded around Luo Tian who was following him.

Although he was a big, burly man with a fierce appearance, he wasn't entirely without brains.

If Luo Tianzhen were a survivor who was constantly on the run, he certainly wouldn't be courting death under these circumstances.

Inside the main entrance is an extremely spacious living room, fully equipped with tables, chairs, sofas, and coffee tables.

In the distance, at the corner of the wall, is a staircase leading upstairs.

"You have good taste, kid. Villas like this are rare in the city. They're surrounded by walls, so they're safe enough. The space inside is also quite large. In the past, they would have cost at least hundreds of millions. Even I could only look at them. But in the apocalypse, houses are the cheapest thing. When we came here, the owner who lived here had already run away. Usually, the brothers stay on the first floor. The rooms on the second floor are where the brothers sleep."

Hai Ge led Luo Tian through the living room, and as they walked up the stairs to the second floor, they heard a whimpering sound coming from inside.

Three people arrived early. Two of them had just opened the door when they saw Hai Ge and Luo Tian. They hurriedly went into their rooms, laughing and calling out, "Hai Ge, show that kid around. We're going to play."

"Damn it, all he does is play all day long," Hai Ge cursed.

"What can I do, Hai-ge? I'm stuck here all day with nothing to do. What else can I do besides women?"

"..."

That makes so much sense that Hai Ge was speechless.

"Those little brats!"

After realizing what was happening, Hai Ge cursed again and headed straight for the third-floor staircase: "The third floor is the most special and the most important."

Upon arriving on the third floor,

Hai Ge took out a key and opened a door that was locked with an iron chain.

The space inside was large and dimly lit, with all the windows sealed off, but it wasn't empty; on the contrary, it was packed with people.

At a glance, one could see a dense crowd of figures sitting on the floor of the room, all of them young women.

Upon hearing the door open, pairs of numb yet terrified eyes turned towards them, some even unable to hold back their soft sobs.

"Hehe, how about it?"

Hai Ge grinned at Luo Tian beside him: "Everyone here is handpicked by me. They're all beautiful and young. The ugly and old ones were all chopped up. In this world, there's a shortage of everything, but not of women. Many of the survivors in the city have escaped or been rescued by the military, but there are still quite a few hiding. You can pick a few later and have some fun with them. If you run out, just go out and catch some more. Don't let my cursing fool you; I'm always very generous when it comes to what my brothers need."

Thanks.

Luo Tian nodded slightly, his heart unmoved.

What made him uncomfortable after his covert reconnaissance was certainly not the imprisoned women.

The apocalypse is so cruel. There is no order, only the strong preying on the weak. Even men are insecure, let alone weak women.

He's not a saint, much less a womanizer; he wouldn't be so easily swayed by something like this.

Close the door and lock it again.

Then Hai Ge opened another locked room.

As before, the dimly lit room was filled with imprisoned people.

But they weren't women, they were children, ranging from a few years old to their teens.

"Isn't it strange that I'm bothering with these burdens?"

Hai Ge glanced at Luo Tian and raised an eyebrow: "Don't rush, let's talk about it downstairs."

First floor,

The remaining few people were busy in the kitchen, bringing out bowls of steaming food.

Hai Ge, who had just come downstairs, walked to the dining table, reached out and opened one of the porcelain basins. A lot of hot steam wafted out, along with a clear aroma of meat.

"There's still meat left? And so much of it?"

Luo Tian glanced at the meat in the basin, his expression clearly showing surprise: "Where did you find this?"

"Where did you find it?"

Hai Ge grinned and licked his lips:

"Didn't you just see that?"
