Yi Chun smiled faintly, her already beautiful face becoming astonishingly so.
"You're not happy that I'm alive?"
He Jun Cai was so captivated by her smile that he lost his senses, nodding repeatedly.
"Happy."
Yi Chun was originally the boss's woman, and he was the boss's assistant.
Yi Chun had always been doted upon, and no one knew why she had angered the boss that day.
The boss, enraged, had beaten her until she was half-dead, then ordered him to throw her out of the base with the other women.
Their base had little food to begin with and couldn't support so many women, so it was normal to discard some women now and then.
But Yi Chun was beautiful, and he was reluctant to abandon her.
He had also always liked her, but there was no opportunity because of the boss.
That day's pleasure was far greater than Xie Ya Yun felt after giving birth.
He had intended to sneak her away, but he didn't make it in time and could only hide her well.
When he returned, she was gone, and he had grieved for a long time.
"Then come here."
Yi Chun's expression was languid, and she beckoned him with a finger.
He Jun Cai walked towards her as if he had lost his soul.
Xie Ya Yun's lips curved into a cold sneer. She hadn't changed her ways, had she?
Yi Chun whispered seductively, "Hold me, won't you?"
He Jun Cai, with a foolish grin, moved to embrace her.
"Tsk."
Before his hands could even touch her,
He Jun Cai felt a pain in his abdomen as a dagger plunged straight into his lower belly.
He Jun Cai froze, not yet comprehending.
Moments later, he trembled as he pressed a hand to his abdomen, bright red blood gushing from the wound.
It quickly soaked through his clothes.
He Jun Cai looked at her beautiful face in terror.
"You, you, why?"
He had thought she would at least consider the fact that he had saved her life.
Yi Chun said, "Do I look like someone who pities a rapist?"
He Jun Cai roared, "But I saved you!"
"I would rather you hadn't."
Yi Chun, her eyes red, pulled out the knife and stabbed him in the chest, again and again.
Warm blood splattered on her face, and she didn't stop until the man collapsed on the ground.
He Jun Cai's vision darkened, and he gasped for air.
He could feel his life slowly draining away.
If only he hadn't abandoned Xiao Yun and Yan'er back then, would he not be dying now?
He regretted it.
He Jun Cai weakly called out, "Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun."
Xie Ya Yun closed her eyes. This was the consequence he deserved.
He had once been a man who cherished his family, loved her and their children, gentle and polite.
After the apocalypse, he had changed, becoming selfish, cruel, and utterly inhuman.
No one could betray their humanity because of the apocalypse. If one betrayed their humanity, were they still human?
"Xiao Yun, take good care of Yan'er. And I'm sorry..."
"Pfft."
He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
A moment later, his head lolled to the side, his hand falling limply to the ground.
Xie Ya Yun turned, and with a wave of her hand, He Jun Cai's corpse erupted in orange-red flames.
The body quickly burned into charcoal.
"Clean up the bodies. Be careful, the people from Xing Chang Base won't let this go."
"Yes!"
The women responded loudly.
At that moment, everyone truly acknowledged her.
Meanwhile, Xu Qian led Xie Xiao Yan back to the warehouse.
The little girl immediately ran to the sofa and curled up, burying her head in her arms.
Xu Qian sighed and said, "Do you want him to continue being your father?"
Xie Xiao Yan shook her head vigorously.
"I don't. He's a bad person. He's not my father."
Xu Qian could understand. Her father, with whom she had lived for so many years, had become a different person after the apocalypse. It would be difficult for anyone to accept.
Xu Qian sat down slowly and asked softly, "Xiao Yan, do you understand what the apocalypse is?"
Xie Xiao Yan was stunned. Wasn't the apocalypse just a disaster?
A disaster sent by heaven.
"The apocalypse has no order, no rules. When this world no longer has distinctions between rich and poor, what will happen?
These people cannot control their inner desires. Robbery? Murder? Even kidnapping? Rape? They do it all because no one in this world punishes them."
