Chapter 213: Trampling on Your Pride!
"Alright, we've talked for quite a while, Captain Ke. I know you feel guilty about your past behavior of being timid and prioritizing your own life. However, that's all in the past. Starting from today, settle down here with us and live like a man!" Alex patted Ke Wenhua on the shoulder and then said to the man outside the door, "Gu, mobilize some elite soldiers.
Tonight, accompany Captain Ke to the city to collect supplies."
After speaking, a man in military uniform walked in from outside. The man was tall and sturdy, obviously an elite warrior. Ke Wenhua couldn't help but furrow his brows, feeling a sense of familiarity.
Gu also carefully looked at Ke Wenhua, then made a gesture inviting him, saying, "Captain Ke, please."
Ke Wenhua saluted Alex and followed Gu out with his head held high.
After Alex's education, Ke Wenhua decided to show a man's demeanor and, along with his soldiers, venture into Jiangcheng City.
Alex was right—relying on others is not reliable. As a man, he should bravely face the apocalypse and live like a man. Moreover, he was not just a well-trained soldier but also a mutant.
According to Alex's description, there weren't many zombies in Jiangcheng City, and powerful mutant zombies were rare. For a survivor who emerged from the hellish environment of Magic Capital, Jiangcheng City was like an easy level in a game.
He had great confidence in himself!
Back at the settlement, Ke Wenhua delivered an impassioned speech, shedding his previous image of weakness and incompetence. He passionately rallied the men in the team to go out together and search for supplies.
Although his speech had little effect, the team was about to run out of food. If they didn't go out to search for food, the only option left was a dead end. Faced with the risk of starvation, all the men in the team, with their loved ones, reluctantly bid farewell.
Ke Wenhua changed into combat gear, fully armed, ensuring his own protection. After giving a solemn look to tearful Liu Feifei, he waved his hand and shouted, "Feifei! Don't worry, we will return triumphant this time! We will bring back the urgently needed supplies, and you won't suffer from hunger and hardship! Wait for me!"
With these words, Ke Wenhua, accompanied by Gu and several guiding soldiers, headed towards the gate of the base shelter. The convoy disappeared in a grand manner outside the gate.
The women waiting inside shed worried and moved tears. Liu Feifei looked at her second husband, feeling a myriad of emotions.
Although her husband was timid and incompetent, he treated her exceptionally well. Moreover, he never forced her to do anything. They had been married for over half a month, and despite Liu Feifei rejecting him twice, Ke Wenhua never brought up the topic of their marital life again.
They met during the disaster and completed a humble and simple wedding in the shelter. They could be described as a couple who faced adversity together. Yet, Ke Wenhua had never mistreated her, and she never experienced any hardships because of him. Although Liu Feifei initially only felt gratitude toward him and not love,
However, with her Korean husband missing and his fate unknown, Liu Feifei gradually started developing feelings for Ke Wenhua. She slowly began to accept him as her true companion in adversity.
As Ke Wenhua embarked on this mission, she inexplicably felt a great worry in her heart. Everything seemed more complicated than it appeared, especially after seeing the way Alex looked at her and the provocations during the handshake.

She believed Alex was definitely not a good person. Liu Feifei had shared her concerns with her husband, Ke Wenhua, but he couldn't seem to listen. Perhaps it wasn't that he couldn't listen; he was just evading the truth, forcing himself to believe that Alex was a good person sincerely helping them.
At this point, their life and death were already in Alex's hands. What else could he do?
While Liu Feifei was deep in thought and worry, she suddenly heard some movement behind her. She shivered in fear and turned around, only to be horrified.
Cold sweat beads formed on her forehead, and her face turned pale. A man, resembling a devil, had suddenly appeared in their tent. He was sitting on the bed, toying with her nightgown. The man, with an evil smile, spoke without lifting his head, "Miss Liu, we meet again."
"You!! How did you get in?! Who let you in?! This is our private room!" Liu Feifei exclaimed in terror, hoping to attract the attention of others and scare away the devil in front of her.
However, the man remained unmoved, slowly lifting his head. In the darkness, his expression appeared incredibly sinister and terrifying.
"This entire shelter belongs to me. Where I want to go, who can control me? If it weren't for me taking you in, could you live peacefully here?" The man's voice carried a malicious taunt.
"We don't need your help! Once my husband comes back, I'll make him take us away immediately!" Liu Feifei shouted in frustration.
She had already seen it clearly; her previous suspicions were correct. The man in front of her was indeed the unsettling Alex. With Alex appearing in her tent at this time, she could easily predict what would happen next, even without thinking.
"Oh? Is that so? You were the ones begging me to let you in before. Now, saying you don't need it, do you really think I'm that easy to bully?" Alex stood up, walking slowly toward Liu Feifei with a wicked smirk on his face.
"But... but we've already handed over our tanks and heavy weapons to you! We don't owe you anything!" Liu Feifei, terrified, cowered in her chair, not daring to look at Alex. Intense fear caused her to tremble uncontrollably, like a pitiful little lamb.
"Is that right?" Alex chuckled lightly, taking out a device resembling a smartphone from his pocket and handing it to Liu Feifei. "Take a look. Your husband is quite brave this time, fighting valiantly with your people. Unfortunately, there are too many zombies. This time, they might die outside."
Alex's laughter was filled with mockery and coldness. Liu Feifei took the phone, struggling to compose herself. As she looked at the screen, her eyes widened in agony.
