At the entrance of the three-bedroom, one-living-room guest room, two people were standing.
The tall man in front had a handsome face, but his attire was disheveled, and the buttons on his shirt were all missing.
If it weren’t for him holding the clothes together with his hands, they would have definitely fallen apart.
Even with him holding the clothes, a large portion of his chest was exposed, and his lower body’s reaction was quite evident.
At this moment, the man was glaring at them with a gloomy expression, as if they were disturbing him.
Next to the man, the young man had exquisite and radiant features. His beautiful eyes shimmered with moisture, giving them a dewy appearance. His face was flushed, as if it could drip blood, creating a picturesque and enchanting image.
It’s hard to believe that such an appearance could belong to a human. The young man looked more like a fairy stepping out of a painting.
His beauty didn’t seem real, indescribable by words.
Perhaps one might not encounter such a sight even in a lifetime.
Everyone was caught in a daze. Even the man referred to as the ‘Boss’ seemed momentarily taken aback.
The tall man with an unfriendly gaze continued to stand in front of the young man, blocking him. It was only then that the people at the entrance reacted.
They all blushed and awkwardly averted their gazes.
Only the handsome man did not lose composure like the others. He simply withdrew his gaze with little change in expression.
Perhaps sensing the awkward atmosphere, the soldier who had reported the count earlier cleared his throat. “Survivors, eight in total.”
Others also snapped out of it and continued with their tasks—clearing zombies or recording information.
After reporting the count, the soldier, with a red face, walked over to Ruan Qing. Facing the intense gaze of Yan Ci, he spoke softly, “Um... do you need legal assistance?”
“If you do, we can help you.”
Although the young man’s clothes were still intact, their postures indicated that they had just engaged in something inappropriate.
In this post-apocalyptic world, voluntary actions were uncertain.
In the midst of a zombie outbreak, few people had the mood for such activities.
Moreover, same-sex marriage had not yet gained recognition from the country and society. Openly expressing same-sex relationships was rare.
The apocalypse, however, unleashed the primitive evil lurking in people’s hearts, leading some to take advantage of the chaos.
Some humans tended to become terrifying creatures when freed from constraints.
Ruan Qing, upon hearing Xiao Liu’s words, realized that he had misunderstood. Strictly speaking, his relationship with Yan Ci was not coercion; it was more like a transaction.
Although the exchange wasn’t about money, the essence was not much different.
Ruan Qing, feeling ashamed, lowered his head. After an uncomfortable lip bite, he spoke softly, “No... no need, thank you.”
Xiao Liu, seeing this, was slightly stunned. No need?
Could these two be a couple?
He thought it was a case of the man forcing the other.
But considering that the man’s clothes were already torn, while the young man’s clothes were intact, could it be that the young man held the dominant position?
Xiao Liu’s face showed some confusion. He involuntarily looked towards the lower part of the young man.
His gaze was filled with disbelief and a questioning of life.
Ruan Qing: “...”
Ruan Qing’s eyelashes trembled lightly. Standing stiff in place, for a moment, he didn’t know how to position himself.
It looked extremely awkward.
This time, it was indeed a bit uncomfortable.
Yan Ci, with a dark look in his eyes, blocked Xiao Liu’s gaze in front of Ruan Qing, isolating him from Xiao Liu’s sight.
Yan Ci’s tone was cold as he spoke. “Do you have any more business?”
Xiao Liu awkwardly withdrew his gaze. “No, nothing more.”
After Xiao Liu finished speaking, he touched his nose and left, continuing to rescue the next survivor.
There weren’t many survivors in the nearby residential buildings. Most had gone out to work, and only a few remained at home.
The people staying at home, seeing others outside with guns, immediately felt relieved and obediently followed along.
However, there were a very few who didn’t want to follow and preferred to stay at home, waiting for their family members to return.
The team respected everyone’s opinions, whether they wanted to leave or stay.
The team members weren’t official rescue personnel; they were on a mission nearby when the zombie outbreak occurred. They took the opportunity to rescue survivors.
They were also unable to get in touch with the headquarters or their superiors, leaving them uncertain about the current situation.
If only this specific area had fallen, the situation was likely still within a manageable scope. However, if multiple areas had also succumbed, the circumstances could be very serious.
Many people were uneasy because not only could they not reach the official emergency hotlines, but internal calls were also similarly inaccessible.
Even when trying to use pagers and telegrams, nobody responded. This was a situation they had never encountered before.
...It’s as if the headquarters itself was in trouble.
However, with no response from communication devices, they couldn’t determine the situation at the headquarters. The only way to confirm was to return and see it for themselves.
It’s quite late, the sun had completely set, and the entire sky had darkened.
Soon, night would fall.
Visibility was hindered at night, making it much more dangerous than during the day.
So, after clearing this building, they decided to take a rest and discuss further plans tomorrow.
Strictly speaking, these people weren’t official personnel; they were more like a special forces unit. Just looking at them gave a strong sense of security.
The survivors wanted to stay with them, but it’s evident there wasn’t enough space.
After all, there were no rooms big enough for all of them.
Ultimately, the team decided to split into pairs, with each pair accommodating two survivors for the night. The plan was to wait until daylight and then safely escort the survivors to a secure location.
The room where Ruan Qing was could accommodate eight people.
Having eight people in one room was a bit too much, so they sent two people away, including the only woman.
Men and women stayed in different places, making it safer and more convenient for the women.
The two assigned to Ruan Qing’s group were the previously mentioned Xiao Liu, and the leader known as ‘Boss.’
Xiao Liu’s real name was Qi Sheng. He was called Xiao Liu because he’s the sixth in the family.
The handsome man, named Xie Xuanlan, was the leader of this team, and everyone referred to him as Boss.
Even though Ruan Qing’s group sent two people away, two new individuals joined, maintaining a total of eight.
Three bedrooms for eight people were evidently insufficient.
Fortunately, almost no one could sleep soundly; most people made do on the living room sofa.
Ruan Qing was no exception; he sat in the corner of the sofa and closed his eyes.
Yan Ci sat beside him, leaning against the backrest of the sofa, also closing his eyes.
Yan Ci’s posture was quite arrogant and domineering, with his legs spread out, occupying a considerable space, almost trapping Ruan Qing in the corner.
Ruan Qing, probably afraid of touching Yan Ci, curled up into a ball, his slender body appearing somewhat pitiful against Yan Ci’s tall figure.
Due to the uncomfortable sitting position, it was evident that sleeping peacefully was out of the question.
At the entrance of the three-bedroom, one-living-room guest room, two people were standing.
