When Qin Yi heard what Gao Qing said, her sneer deepened. “What can you guys do if I choose not to save you, huh?”
When Zhao Wei heard Qin Yi’s words and the tone, he immediately gave her a nasty look and stood up in anger. “Who are you to make that decision? I, your daddy, want you to save us and you have to do it! And if you don’t, leaving this room isn’t an option. Both of you will have to stay here and accompany us.”
Zhao Wei glared viciously at Qin Yi, his eyes filled with malice. There were 20 of them, so there was no way they would be afraid of two young chaps.
Qin Yi chuckled. She really didn’t know where this person got his confidence from. They only had a few people, yet they still thought they could force her and Yun Huan to stay.
Human beings were so despicable, really. They were so afraid of the zombies that they didn’t dare to take even a step outside the door, but in front of their own kind, they could only criticize and give orders, using force and ethics to get their own way.
Same roots? Working together? Those ideas were just pleasant-sounding excuses. They just wanted to use them to ensure their own survival.
She didn’t mind saving people, but it was a different matter with these scums. Looking into their eyes, she knew they took her and Yun Huan for granted. Qin Yi found it revolting.
Qin Yi wasn’t a saint. She would save those who were worth saving, lending them a hand, but these people could forget about it. Qin Yi couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with them.
She turned around and said to Yun Huan, “Big brother Huan, let’s go.”
Yun Huan nodded, not even sparing a glance at the group of people. When he saw the young man’s cold and mocking expression, Yun Huan subconsciously held Qin Yi’s hand.
Feeling that Qin Yi’s hand was a little cold, Yun Huan held her hand tighter.
When Zhao Wei saw that Qin Yi and Yun Huan really intended to leave, he began to panic. Although these two people had managed to come in, who knew if there were still zombies outside.
Zhao Wei was terrified. He was just a little dilinquit, or rather, a lackey. When he saw how skinny and young Qin Yi was, he thought he would be able to scare her, but he hadn’t expected Qin Yi to be so fearless and unimpressed, at least towards him.
When Gao Qing saw that Qin Yi and Yun Huan were about to leave without even looking back, she rushed over and went to grab Yun Huan’s arm.
His eyes turned frosty, and he moved to the side in a flash, causing Gao Qing to grab air.
Gao Qing did not think that Yun Huan would move away, leaving her arm in an awkward position, unsure of whether to raise it midair or put it down—it was somewhat embarrassing.
She composed herself slightly, looking up with her pretty face, her delicate makeup giving her a dainty look and making her a bit prettier.
However, it was only slightly. Before Qin Yi and Yun Huan’s outlandishly good looks, Gao Qing was nothing but an unremarkable stone.
Gao Qing continued smiling, her pale lips bleeding slightly from her bite. “Please don’t leave, Zhao Wei doesn’t know how to talk properly. We are one people, and it was due to fate that we met. Most of the people here are sick and can’t deal with those monsters outside on their own. I really hope you can save us.”
Qin Yi scoffed, her beautiful phoenix eyes staring straight at Gao Qing as she said, “How would it benefit us to save you?”
Gao Qing felt a little uncomfortable under Qin Yi’s stare. The young man’s eyes were also clear but appeared deep. It was so contradictory yet attractive.
Being watched by these pairs of eyes, Gao Qing felt that her thoughts could easily be read by this young man.
Before Gao Qing could reply, an elderly man said in anger, “What benefit? We’re asking you to save people. What other benefit are you looking for? Have you thrown away all of your traditions and given up your virtues? You guys are the pests of society! I wonder what your elders taught you!”

“If you guys don’t save us, I will report you to the government and say that you abused the elderly and left us to die. I…I…I’ll let public opinion crush both of you to death!” The elderly man got more and more agitated as he spoke, his face turning red and his eyes raging in anger.
“Report us?” Qin Yi scoffed. “That’s the greatest joke I’ve ever heard. I welcome you to do so. Remember me, for I will not change my name no matter what. My name is Qin Hanmo and this man is my big brother.”
Yun Huan glanced coldly at the man, his eyes filled with a frost that scared the elderly man very much.
Yun Huan rubbed Qin Yi’s head and moved away swiftly—it was so quick that Qin Yi didn’t even feel it. “Hanmo, let’s go. There’s no point in talking to these people.”
Qin Yi didn’t expect Yun Huan to play along with her act, but she let him lead her out, not really wanting to waste her energy on these people.
Yun Huan held Qin Yi’s hand and walked out. Gao Qing gritted her teeth and looked at the group, all of them old, weak, sick, or disabled. She made up her mind and prepared herself to leave with Qin Yi and Yun Huan.
When Qin Yi sensed that someone was following them, she turned her head. To her surprise, she saw that it was Gao Qing.
Qin Yi didn’t have a good feeling about Gao Qing at all. She was just like that white lotus younger sister of hers, thinking that she was very elegant and kind as a saint, but at critical moments like this, putting herself first. Qin Yi really despised people like her.
When in danger, it was undeniable that you would put yourself first. Human beings were all selfish creatures.
However, what Qin Yi hated the most were people who said one thing but behaved in a different manner. Their hearts were black, but they insisted on pretending that they were white knights.
When Gao Qing saw that Qin Yi had turned around, she suddenly felt somewhat guilty and nervous. She bit her lips, her watery eyes looking very pitiful and innocent.
“That, I mean, I would like to leave with you guys. Could you guys bring me out with you?”
Gao Qing’s voice was very gentle, like a feather sweeping across one’s heart.
If the average man saw Gao Qing like this, he would definitely have embraced her and protected her well. However, Qin Yi was a girl, and Gao Qing’s beauty didn’t work on her at all.
Qin Yi curled her lips and revealed an evil smile, the cold youth suddenly turning nefarious. There wasn’t anything out of sorts, but her smile made one’s heart beat faster.
Gao Qing really wanted to put all of her charm on display and make this cold young man become crazy only for her. Gao Qing’s eyes revealed obsession and greed, making Qin Yi want to puke out of disgust.
Yun Huan’s mood was slightly better at first, but it suddenly turned unpleasant, the gloomy air immediately pouncing towards Gao Qing. He hated the way she looked at Qin Yi, despising the expression on her face.
Yun Huan stood in front of Qin Yi and blocked Gao Gin’s view of her, his tall and sturdy body completely shielding Qin Yi’s skinny and weak body.
“Get lost,” Yun Huan’s sexy lips echoed. He had such a pleasant voice, yet only cruel words resounded.
Gao Qing was so frightened by Yun Huan that she retreated, not daring to look into his eyes or move forward.
“What is it? The kind-hearted nurse was going to abandon her patients and escape with us?” Qin Yi asked sharply, the evil smile on her face making Gao Qing blush and her heart beat fast.
Qin Yi stepped away from Yun Huan, an evil and violent smirk on her face.
Gao Qing was stunned. When she finally returned to her senses, her face was completely red, but she couldn’t take her eyes off of Qin Yi. Her silence and actions had unwittingly revealed her intention.
Zhao Wei was enraged. Pointing at Gao Qing, he bellowed, “You stinking *****, you’re truly scandalous! What? You can’t move after seeing a man? You’re really desperate. Let me tell you, you can forget about leaving alone!”

Zhao Wei liked Gao Qing, but between being able to survive or winning the girl, he would definitely choose the former.
Gao Qing trembled with anger, never expecting Zhao Wei to say such words. She wanted to leave with Qin Yi for the sake of the entire group. She thought she’d leave the place safely and find others to save them, but Zhao Wei had accused her of the worst things.
Gao Qing was ashamed and angry at herself, but she was much more angry towards Zhao Wei. Whether it was for saying those words in front of Qin Yi or supposedly revealing her true intentions, she didn’t know.
Gao Qing started to cry, the tear-stained face of the beauty meant to make others take pity on her.
“How can you say that about me? I merely wanted to—I just wanted to go out first and find other people to save you guys… How can you say that about me?”
When Zhao Wei saw Gao Qing crying, his heart immediately felt her pain. From her words, he realized that he had mistaken her intentions, feeling even worse.
He lowered his voice, his tone meant to comfort her. “Qing’er, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have accused you of those things. I’m just so afraid! You’re our pillar here. If you were to leave, we’d have nothing. I was wrong, please don’t cry.”
Zhao Wei stepped forward, prepared to soothe Gao Qing, but she stepped away from him.
Zhao Wei didn’t think much about it, figuring that Gao Qing hadn’t forgiven him yet.
Qin Yi watched their show with excitement, her eyes filled with joy.
“Hehehe, what a nice show!”
Yun Huan lowered his head and whispered indifferently in Qin Yi’s ear, “You like this, Qiqi?”
A faint scent of peppermint surged up Qin Yi’s nostrils as a slight burning sensation pounced on her earlobes. Qin Yi immediately felt somewhat ticklish, meaning to retreat a step back but somehow got closer to Yun Huan, feeling the peppermint smell become stronger.
Qin Yi couldn’t comprehend how someone could have such a scent in the apocalypse. How and where did he get it?
Yun Huan looked at Qin Yi in a daze and felt his mood elevate. The person in his embrace was small, warm and soft, ‘his’ faint scent drifting to his nose. It was fresh and natural without being the least bit overpowering, but Yun Huan was unable to make sense of what fragrance it was. ‘He’ was too skinny, but that could be fixed with some further fattening.
“Not bad,” Qin Yi said with an evil smile, “But it is not exciting enough. We need to add fuel to the flames.”
Yun Huan did not retreat, allowing this person to lean on him. Qin Yi was also very comfortable and remained where she was.
Tired of seeing the group, Qin Yi spoke to them. “Sorry to intrude, it isn’t impossible for you guys to follow us out, but we have a condition.”
Zhao Wei and Gao Qing were startled, asking timidly, “What condition?”
Qin Yi smiled, an evil intent behind her eyes. Even so, the look was one that no one could hate, instead making her even more attractive.
“The condition is simple. Either she comes out with us, or you guys do. It’s one or the other. Let me give you all a word of advice, there are still zombies outside and they do eat people.”
Seeing their dazed looks, the evil intent behind Qin Yi’s eyes became stronger, “Have you guys thought about it? Who’s coming with us?”
Zhao Wei and Gao Qing looked at each other for a few seconds before Zhao Wei stood up in anger. “Don’t even think of separating us! if we leave, we leave together. If we stay, we stay together. We have some loyalty left in us!”
Gao Qing also looked at Qin Yi, determination shining in her eyes as she declared. “Don’t try to test us. We are all in this together! How could I leave my companions behind? They’re all good people and would never agree to your demand, right?”

Chapter 74: I’m very obedient

Qin Yi played with her own fingernails carelessly. Her long and slender hands were like very clean and meticulous jade, not even a speck of dirt found underneath.
Qin Yi raised her head when she heard Zhao Wei and Gao Qing’s words. Tilting her head to the side and opening her beautiful lips, she said, “When did I say I wouldn’t do this? I’m a man of my words. Only one of the parties that I named can leave with us. Make your choice.”
Qin Yi’s words carried a hint of impatience. Pulling at Yun Huan’s hand, she started to play with a pair of hands that did not belong to her.
Yun Huan remained unmoved when the soft and small hands pinched his arm, allowing Qin Yi to play with them.
Zhao Wei and Gao Qing did not expect Qin Yi to be so determined and kept silent for some time.
After waiting a little longer, Gao Qing lifted her delicate face and asked meekly, “Is what you said true?”
Qin Yi waited a moment before replying indifferently, “It’s real. Choose quickly, don’t waste my time.”
Gao Qing clenched her teeth and replied, “Then take me, I’ll go with you.”
Zhao Wei stared at Gao Qing in disbelief. Rage began to build up in him, to the extent that veins protruded out of his skin as he exclaimed, “What are you talking about? Didn’t we agree to stay or leave together?”
Gao Qing turned to Zhao Wei in grief. “We have no choice! Look at them! They are all weak and sick, and if they follow them out, they will die. Why not let me try and follow them? I promise you, I’ll look for people to save you guys when I’m out.”
Zhao Wei was moved by Gao Qing’s words. It was true, the group was injured and not exactly in the best shape. Following Qin Yi out might not guarantee their survival, but staying to wait for help wasn’t a good choice either.
Gao Qing’s words caused all the restless people to quieten down. They had the same thoughts as Zhao Wei. However, they were more willing to stay behind and wait for rescue than go out and face the monsters. The two outsiders’ words might seem nice, but they could not guarantee that they wouldn’t be abandoned when they grew cumbersome and fed to the zombies.
However, Gao Qing was different. Not only was she healthy, but she was also a woman. That meant she could easily win over the boys’ hearts.
With Gao Qing around, why should they be afraid of being unable to control the two growing boys?
Qin Yi observed their responses and smiled. She didn’t mind adding even more fuel to the fire.
“Gao Qing, was it? If you follow us, that means you’re part of our group already. I won’t allow you to find other people to save them.”
Qin Yi’s words were like a tsunami, causing the calm waters to surge abruptly.
Gao Qing was stunned, never thinking that the youth would be so ferocious and decisive.
“Is what you said true?”
Qin Yi smiled and revealed a set of pearly white teeth. Her smile was warm and angelic, but those beautiful lips spouted out the harshest of words.
“Of course, I don’t tell lies,” Qin Yi smiled, looking like an extremely obedient child.
Zhao Wei erupted with rage, picking up a chair from the side and throwing it right at Qin Yi. He cursed at her, “Fuck, this boss here will beat you to death. You really want us to die? I’ll kill you first!”
Yun Huan saw the incoming chair and quickly shoved Qin Yi behind him. Unleashing a fast kick, he sent both Zhao Wei and the chair flying.
Zhao Wei felt immense pain in his abdomen as he struggled to stand up. When he opened his mouth, he spit out blood. One look and anyone could tell that he had sustained some internal injury.

Zhao Wei wiped the blood off of his mouth and looked at Yun Huan with fear in his eyes. The people behind Yun Huan were also frightened by him and no longer dared to speak.
Qin Yi tiptoed and patted Yun Huan’s shoulder, indicating that she was fine. That was when she realized that this man was rather tall. It seemed like she had to eat more, as she was still too short.
Qin Yi looked at the equally stunned Gao Qing and smiled, asking, “What about it, have you decided? Don’t be afraid. Regardless of what decision you make, I will protect you.”
Qin Yi mumbled, her crisp and clearvoice suppressed, making it even more alluring, like a siren seducing mortal men. She was too charming.
“Come, don’t be afraid. Tell us your thoughts, I promise that I will grant you everything.”
Yun Huan looked at Qin Yi, who was busy enticing Gao Qing, and knitted his sharp brows.
Gao Qing’s eyes were filled with puzzlement as Qin Yi’s voice resonated in her ears. All the thoughts that she had suppressed and kept deeply hidden were completely unhooked by Qin Yi.
“I…I want to go with you guys. I won’t look for people to save them, please take me along with you,” Gao Qing pleaded with Qin Yi. She didn’t want to stay where the zombies were and did not trust the military that these people were so determined to wait for.
But it was impossible for her to leave alone, and for two powerful people to appear out of the blue and even agree to bring her away? How could she possibly let go of this opportunity!
Qin Yi had guessed Gao Qing’s answer long ago, her beautiful phoenix eyes suddenly flashing crimson as slyness appeared.
“Obedient girl, wouldn’t it have been better if you answered me honestly earlier?” Qin Yi smiled like a valiant knight in shining armor.
Gao Qing’s heart bashfully felt a trace of joy, like a proud kitten enjoying compliments from its owner.
Gao Qing thought that she must have gone crazy, for why else would her heart be pounding from the torment of a youth that was younger than her. But she could clearly sense her own excitement as she felt her heart beat, to the extent that even her toes were curling from tolerating the shame.
Zhao Wei and the others no longer dared to argue with Qin Yi and Yun Huan, only able to clench their teeth as they led Gao Qing away.
Qin Yi slid a glance at Yun Huan, who was biting his lips, and asked casually, “Feeling moody?”
It seemed like he was in a bad mood earlier.
Yun Huan casually glanced at Gao Qing, who was behind them, the cold in his peach eyes becoming denser. “I don’t like it when people join the group on a whim.”
“Relax, I won’t let her follow us.”
Yun Huan’s pupils constricted as his lips loosened slightly and the cold aura around him dissipated. “Why do you want to save her then?”
Yun Huan could tell that Qin Yi did not like this Gao Qing, otherwise she would not have made a fool out of her and the rest of the group. However, he was unsure of the rest of Qin Yi’s sudden change. She really brought the girl out.
Qin Yi paused for a moment as she looked at Gao Qing, who was trailing behind them. Seeing Gao Qing’s smiling face, her lips curved up.
“The reason? It’s definitely for revenge.”
Hehe, this Gao Qing would definitely bring the Qin family a great deal of fun.
She was looking forward to it.
Qin Yi’s beautiful phoenix eyes were extremely bright at that moment, resembling Venus greatly.
Yun Huan rubbed Qin Yi’s head and wondered how the youth’s hair could be so inconceivably soft. “You can have your revenge, but don’t get lost in it. You don’t have to use methods like those that you did today.”
