Wu Bai Hee waited for Zhao Jun Jie to fall asleep before she slipped out of bed and threw on a silk housecoat. Walking back over to the window ten stories in the air, she looked down at the people gathered below her like they were ants waiting to be squished.

They were right. Supplies were starting to run low. And heaven forbid people didn't get their favorite perfume or designer clothes. No, things would need to change but slow enough that they wouldn't notice.

She would start by letting them create teams and then sending the teams out on missions. That would create a hierarchy within the population, segregating people. One thing that she had learned in her first life was that if you wanted to control a docile population, you needed them to be so concerned about fighting the others around them that they didn't notice what was actually going on.

She would get Zhao Jun Jie to send those with powers outside to collect supplies and then let them keep 60% of what they managed to find. That would elevate them while suppressing those without powers, keeping them hungry and docile.

And once the 'normals' had had enough, they would revolt against the power users, not her or her little puppet. Not to mention, there was no guarantee that those sent for supplies would come back. It was the perfect cover for culling the population of City A until only the most desirable humans were left to repopulate the world.

Turning her back to the window, she slipped into the bathroom and pulled open a drawer full of makeup that Zhao Jun Jie had given her that first night. Reaching all the way to the back and pushing aside some eyeshadows and brushes, she pulled out a very subtle silver rectangle with fourteen little white pills on it. Popping out one of the pills, she quickly swallowed it before returning the packaging to its original place.

She would need to go to the pharmacy tomorrow and get some more pills without Zhao Jun Jie knowing about it.

There was no way she would ever carry his child. The only child she would have would be Liu Wei's once everything was settled, and the two of them controlled City A together.

Softly closing the drawer, she turned around to flush the toilet and then washed her hands. No, Zhao Jun Jie was a good cover for now while she set the groundwork, but soon enough, Liu Wei would return to her, and she needed everything to be ready for him.

"Are you alright?" mumbled Zhao Jun Jie as he sat up in bed and looked at her.

"Of course," she purred, making her way back to the bed and removing the housecoat as she went. "Just had to use the washroom, but you made it so hard for me to walk," she chuckled, getting under the covers and going to cuddle with Zhao Jun Jie.

"I wasn't too rough with you?" he asked, concerned. She always made him lose control, but that didn't mean that he would ever want to cause her discomfort.

"No, you were perfect," she assured him with a smile.

Zhao Jun Jie smiled and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her in even closer. Kissing the top of her head, he relaxed. The issues he had to deal with would be dealt with later. Right now, he just wanted to spend time with his woman.

We had left City H a few hours ago after ensuring that we had taken everything for our new house that we wanted.n/-o//V--E()1-)B.-1.)n

The roads were deserted, with only a few scouts peeking out around the rubble and debris. When they saw it was us, they bowed their heads and waited for us to pass, never once getting in our way or issuing a challenge of any kind.

All in all, it was a nice drive. It was the first time that I had ever traveled to the central provinces of Country K, and I couldn't help but marvel at the scenery.

"It is really different from City A or City H," said Liu Wei, his voice cutting through the speakers of the truck.

"Different is necessarily bad," I assured him, not bothering to point out that different seemed to be the keyword for my third life. Everything was different. And I was loving it.

"We are coming up to City G," said Liu Yu Zeng, "The capital of H province. Do you want to take a break and go look around?"

"Sure," I said with a shrug. Might as well stop and stretch my legs. Hopefully, there would be some nice furniture places there as I was still looking for a bed that could sleep five adults. I'll give you a hint... something like that was really hard to find.

"Take the third exit," said Wang Chao. "That should bring us more to the shopping district instead of downtown."

There were a few grunts, and before I knew it, I was back in a shopping district.

Looking at all the stores standing side by side, some looted, some not, I realized that I was actually shopped out. Cerberus pulled up to a well-known furniture store, one of the few that were actually broken into, and I got out of the truck.

"I'll go in first," grunted Chen Zi Han as he dismounted and put his helmet on the seat of his bike.

"No need," I said with a sigh. "There appears to be fifteen people inside the building," I continued, quickly scouting for flames. This was the exact moment that the expression 'Be careful what you wish for' struck me. I used to pray about finding more humans, but now I was really hoping to find a lot less of them.

"Do you still want to go in?" asked Wang Chao, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me into his chest.

"I don't think we have much choice in the matter," said Liu Yu Zeng, nodding toward where four men in military fatigues were walking out of the building, their guns raised. I couldn't be sure, but I think I broke out into a rash as soon as I saw them.
