Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 269: Eternal Love?

Of course, Dilraba had no intention of debasing herself to please others for the chance to survive. She had to find another way to gain the recognition of the man before her, obtain more food, and secure more opportunities to survive.

Murder? In such an apocalypse, what did it really matter?

Dilraba had a clear understanding of her thoughts. People like Lu Han and Cai Xukun, who were once considered pretty boys before the apocalypse and fooled naive women, had long deserved to die in this brutal world. Now, it was evident that these two were despised by the powerful villain before them, and their deaths seemed inevitable.

It was better for her to exchange their lives for some food. Dilraba wasn't afraid of killing. In her previous life, she had witnessed countless murders. To her, it was no different from slaughtering animals like sheep or cattle.

"Every man for himself; heaven will destroy and the earth will annihilate. Her sense of self-respect wasn't like Fan Bingbing's, who had an arrogant and self-righteous attitude. Dilraba's self-respect was about being strong, independent, and disciplined, a commitment to her own principles.

Her bottom line was to maintain dignity in this apocalyptic world.

However, what she didn't expect was that when the time came to act, she was genuinely afraid. She felt her whole body trembling, every cell shaking. It was a fear that came from the depths of her heart.

After all, she was just a girl.

Moreover, she had never killed anyone before.

Watching someone else kill and doing it herself were entirely different things.

However, after Wang Baoqiang stepped in to help her, Dilraba quickly stabilized her emotions.

Afterwards, with a determined expression, she walked over to the food and took two cans of beef. She was already very hungry. Right now, she needed to replenish her food supply. Only by getting full could she survive longer in the upcoming harsh conditions, finding better opportunities to live with dignity.

Moreover, Dilraba wouldn't feel at ease until she had these foods in her stomach. After all, these people had been plagued by hunger for too long. Despite each person standing on a moral high ground, criticizing her and showing grief for Cai Xukun's death, Dilraba knew that these people might resort to anything once they saw her food.

While they might not dare to snatch the food from the villain before them, dealing with a vulnerable woman like her was a different matter. Each one of them was formidable in their own right, proving that they were not simple individuals. They portrayed kindness on the surface but harbored insidious thoughts inside. The deeds they had done were simply not exposed.

As actors, these people were constantly playing a role, using fake emotions to maintain their public images. Dilraba was certain that their private actions and thoughts were far from as straightforward as they appeared. Each one of them was a cunning and unscrupulous person.

Therefore, without hesitation, Dilraba opened the cans of beef, stood behind Alex, and began devouring them. She even drank every drop of the soup. The chewing and slurping sounds made the surrounding survivors widen their eyes, revealing greedy expressions.

The prolonged period of starvation had intensified their longing for food. Especially seeing Dilraba savoring such delicious canned beef, it triggered a wave of desire among them.

Compared to the things they had been eating during this period, this delicious beef was simply exquisite! The few women who had just been criticizing Dilraba couldn't help but regret silently. They cursed themselves for not taking action earlier.

Meanwhile, Fan Bingbing and Liu Yan began to contemplate, casting their eyes on the food behind Alex. Unable to resist, they swallowed saliva, and when they looked back at Alex, their expressions became somewhat indecisive.

At this moment, they hesitated. Just a while ago, they had been firm in refusing Alex's request. While giving Alex pleasure was acceptable to them, they wanted to maintain their dignity. Moreover, they even intended to use their own methods to make Alex their "lapdog." After all, they were accustomed to the feeling of being adored by various fans.

In their eyes, it was only natural for men to adore female celebrities like them.

However, now their bottom line had started to loosen. Compared to the choices of killing for food or being beaten to death, it seemed like a good option to try to please the seemingly decent villain before them. Perhaps, relying on their eloquence, they could even captivate this seemingly young guy and make him fall in love with them, becoming their lapdog.

With the protection of such a strong man, their lives would naturally ascend several levels. At least, they wouldn't have to worry about food and safety anymore. As for dignity, was dignity more important than life? If life was gone, what dignity was there to speak of?

Moreover, they were not naive; under the temptations and coercion of capital and power, they had long ago made choices time and time again. For a better life, for fame, for money, they had already sold themselves.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have achieved what they had today!

Those who stuck to their principles and bottom lines in the entertainment industry had long been finished. Unless, like Jing Tian and Ji Haxue, they had a naturally powerful background.

For those who had crawled up from the grassroots, facing life and death now, would they still care about their dignity?

"Qiang, I see you're quite sensible! Drag this piece of garbage, worse than a woman, outside to feed the zombies!" Alex looked at Lu Han, who was kneeling on the ground, desperately kowtowing and crying like a disgruntled woman, with disgust as he ordered Wang Baoqiang.

"All right!" Wang Baoqiang grinned, grabbed Lu Han's long hair, delivered a knee strike, directly knocking him unconscious. Then, he lifted Lu Han onto his shoulder, chuckling, and walked to the nearby balcony. Without hesitation, Wang Baoqiang tossed Lu Han down.

Soon, the sound of a body hitting the ground and the roars of zombies echoed from below...

Everyone looked at the grinning Wang Baoqiang, their eyes now filled with fear.

This seemingly harmless fool, at this moment, was killing without blinking an eye!

"Xiao Qiang, your performance is excellent! I'll reward you with this ham sausage." Alex smiled, performed a magic trick, and produced another ham sausage. He tore open the packaging, as if accidentally dropping it on the ground. Then, as if accidentally, he stepped on it with his foot.

Wang Baoqiang grinned again, without any hesitation, he crawled to Alex's side like a dog, picked up the ham sausage, and wolfed it down.

Alex sneered and turned to look at the dumbfounded Fan Bingbing and Liu Yan.

Seeing Alex looking at her, Fan Bingbing hurriedly put on a flattering and embarrassed smile, walking up to him, she embraced Alex's arm, rubbing her bosom against his arm while coquettishly saying, "Look, I'm willing to be your woman. I'll be your woman right away. If I crawl like a dog in front of so many people, it would be embarrassing for you, brother."

Fan Bingbing was dressed in a red queen-style evening dress, with her cleavage partially exposed.

Alex coldly chuckled, reaching his hand into Fan Bingbing's neckline and unabashedly kneading it.

Liu Yan pushed out her chest, showcasing her advantages in front of Alex. She pretended to be reserved as she walked to Alex's side, grabbing his arm and rubbing against it with force, saying, "Mister, I'll be yours from now on. You must treat me well!"

Liu Yan was wearing a black low-cut evening dress, and her pair of round, snow-white, super-beautiful breasts swayed desperately as she rubbed against Alex's arm.

Alex disdainfully glanced at the two women, then coldly said without expression, "Who said I want you to be my woman? I don't lack women now. What I lack is a pet dog! If you want to stay alive, follow my orders! If you think dignity is more important than life, if you have integrity, I respect those with integrity. Go through that door and find your own way to survive!"

After finishing his words, Alex arrogantly tossed both usually high and mighty celebrity beauties aside. He turned away and walked towards the room where Tang Yan was shivering on the floor, hugging her legs.

"What do you want to do?" Luo Jin suddenly rushed out, firmly blocking the entrance to the room.

Inside was his wife!

His woman!

Though he was afraid of death, he couldn't accept such humiliation! He would rather die defending his wife. Even if he couldn't prevent harm from befalling her, he would still stand up! At least, in death, he wouldn't witness such maddening things!

As a man, he wanted to preserve his dignity!

Luo Jin knew he definitely wasn't a match for the super villain in front of him. He also knew that his actions might result in being beaten to death just like Li Chen and Cai Xukun. However, as a man, he had to stand up. This was his bottom line and principle.

"Sir! I admit that you're formidable, I know I'm not your match. However, Tang Yan is my wife. When we got married, I vowed to protect her for a lifetime! If you intend to harm her, you'll have to step over my dead body!" Luo Jin's expression was firm, his eyes shining with unwavering determination.

He glanced back at Tang Yan, mustering a faint smile on his face, and in his eyes, there was a mix of love and farewell.

Alex looked at the man before him, Luo Jin, and suddenly gained some respect for him. He hadn't expected to find some men of integrity among these celebrities. He truly hadn't anticipated that Luo Jin would step forward, knowingly in an unwinnable situation, using his own life to defend his wife.

It seemed that Luo Jin genuinely loved Tang Yan.

Alex gave a faint smile, extending his hand to rest on Luo Jin's shoulder. This sudden gesture startled Luo Jin, causing him to shudder and nearly collapse on the ground. The surrounding celebrities were also shocked, their breaths catching in anticipation. Some timid female stars even covered their eyes, afraid to witness what would happen next.

"I said earlier that I won't force you to do anything. You can make your own choices. Luo Jin, you can take your wife and leave," Alex said expressionlessly, patting Luo Jin's shoulder.

After hearing Alex's words, Luo Jin and the other celebrities were left dumbfounded. No one expected that this ruthless villain before them would let Luo Jin go. Luo Jin swallowed hard, stealing a glance at Alex. After Alex withdrew his hand, Luo Jin dared to cautiously retreat into the room, pulling his wife, Tang Yan, with him. They quickly walked out from inside.

At the doorway, Luo Jin couldn't help but bow to Alex.

"And what about you two? What choices will you make?" Alex asked with a faint smile, looking at Fan Bingbing and Liu Yan.

Fan Bingbing looked hesitant, biting her lip tightly, as if grappling with some difficult decision.

Meanwhile, Liu Yan, quite boldly, swayed her hips as she walked to Alex's side. She took hold of Alex's hand, leaned into his embrace with unparalleled charm, and said with a playful smile, "Handsome guy, I'll take good care of you later! You'll have to take care of me too, okay?"

With that, Liu Yan directly grasped Alex's hand and placed it on her ample bosom, her sexy red lips wandering near Alex's ear.

Seeing Liu Yan take the initiative, Fan Bingbing suddenly felt anxious. Just as she was about to crawl over like a dog, a voice suddenly rang out!
