"Get away, don't touch me, you big liar. Before you came out, you said you had never been in a relationship, and the moment you came out, when I asked you, you said you had been with a woman. How many more things are you hiding from me?"
In the second-floor room of the small building, Bai Ru lay in Jack's arms but turned her body away from him in a sulky manner. Beneath them, a red flower, dyed with hot fresh blood, was blooming vigorously, serving as proof of Bai Ru's purity.
Jack wrapped his arms around Bai Ru's waist and said with great frustration, "I mean, Ru Ru, were you really a spy before? Who asks such questions at the most critical moment? Aren't you trying to kill me?"
"It's only by asking you at that moment that you'll tell the truth. I've realized that despite your honest and sincere appearance, you're no different from those bad men, full of tricks. You made me pose in such an embarrassing way on the first try; are you a pervert?"
Bai Ru angrily twisted her body to express her extreme displeasure, but just as she was about to scold Jack again, she suddenly let out a gasp, tightly gripping Jack's arm in terror and said, "It, it, it... it's up again! Quick, quick, we can't let it get up; it's so scary!"
"Beautiful girl, can you please stop squirming? How would it react if you keep moving around? Don't treat it like a zombie, okay?" Jack was once again extremely frustrated. He had also realized that this stunning beauty, Bai Ru, was indeed exceptional in bed, just in a very unconventional way.
"No, I'm scared when it gets hard!" Bai Ru quickly turned over, looking at it with great vigilance. But after a while, she couldn't help but playfully poke it with her finger, full of curiosity, and said, "It can be big sometimes and small other times! But it's cuter when it's small; when it gets big, it looks ugly and scary!"
"Alright, alright, just stop messing with it. Otherwise, it will end up messing with you again!" Jack hurriedly grabbed Bai Ru's mischievous little hand. With that tender little hand being played with, Jack couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
"Hehe~ Hubby, today is my dangerous period, you know. I just let you do it inside on purpose. I want to give you a beautiful baby, okay? Do you prefer a son or a daughter? I like cute girls!" Bai Ru and Jack broke through the last barrier, and she immediately became much more lively, as if she had aged several years younger, constantly making various strange poses in Jack's arms, deliberately trying to ignite Jack's desire!
"Uh... your thoughts are jumping around too fast!" Jack blinked, feeling that his brain was struggling to keep up with Bai Ru's speed.
"Haha~ My man, just wait to be a dad..."
...
After a night of passion and a night of intense struggle, it wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Bai Ru, feeling weak in her limbs, leaned against the wall to walk down the stairs. As soon as she entered the living room on the first floor, she was met with a barrage of scrutinizing gazes.
"Come on, Ru Jie, let's open a bottle of beer to celebrate you becoming a real woman!" Cao Mei, who had been through it herself, immediately recognized from Bai Ru's awkward gait and slightly furrowed brows that she had definitely lost her virginity last night. She playfully pulled the blushing Bai Ru onto a new Thomas sofa and whispered with a laugh, "You went wild all night, didn't you? Was it good?"
"Get lost! The first time is never enjoyable! It hurt so much!" Bai Ru rolled her eyes in a playful manner, but her expression carried a hint of happiness.
"That can't be right! If it wasn't enjoyable, why did you spend the whole night with our guy? Don't lie, you're not a good girl!" Cao Mei wrapped her arms around Bai Ru's waist, grinning mischievously.
"I didn't spend the whole night! It was just… just once, and I was in so much pain that I couldn't get out of bed until now!" Bai Ru, her face flushed, looked at Cao Mei, her expression filled with guilt.
"Haha~ Ru Jie, don't try to fool us! We all heard it last night!" Jiao Jiao, sitting opposite Bai Ru, opened a bottle of beer and handed it over, winking at her playfully.
"Huh? You… you all heard what?" Bai Ru asked in a panic.
"Honey, slow down, slow down! Honey, hurry up, hurry up! Honey, I'm dying! Honey, I want to give you a big fat son… Haha~ Was that what you were calling out?" Before Jiao Jiao could finish, Cao Mei jumped in, looking at Bai Ru with a teasing expression.
"You… you are so mean! How could you listen in on the bed?" Bai Ru felt embarrassed by Cao Mei's words and angrily lunged at her, grabbing the soft flesh at her waist, scolding, "You little minx, if you dare to moan like that again, I'll record it and play it for everyone to hear!"
"Hahaha… Ouch~ Don't twist, it hurts…" Cao Mei laughed so hard that tears almost came out, and the two of them rolled around on the sofa. After a while, wiping the tears of laughter from her face, Cao Mei said, "Ru Ru, I really didn't mean to eavesdrop; it's just that your voice was too loud! Almost everyone on the second floor heard it last night, even Bing Bing said you sounded like you were singing!"
"Yeah, Sister Ru, your call was so enchanting. That bad guy Thomas Xu came back in the early morning and only heard the ending. In just those few minutes of sound, he actually got so excited that he vented on me three times. The most annoying part is that after he was done, he said my call wasn't even half as good as yours and told me to learn more from you!" Bingbing, munching on sunflower seeds, joined in the teasing. It was rare to see Bai Ru flustered, and the few women were all laughing joyfully.
"Get lost, all of you! The more you talk, the more it gets on my nerves! No more talking!" Bai Ru glared at the women and then changed the subject, asking Cao Mei, "By the way, where is my husband? I don't even know when he got up!"
"Our grandfather is really in great shape. I thought he would at least sleep until noon, but who would have thought he got up early to have breakfast and is full of energy? He should be at Ryan Qiang's place now, called over by that tough guy at noon to give him and Thomas Xu some guidance on dealing with zombies!" Cao Mei finally stopped laughing and said to Bai Ru.
"So, who among you knows Dr. Qin's clinic? I want to ask her for some anti-inflammatory medicine. My... my throat is a bit swollen!" Bai Ru said, trying hard to maintain a serious expression.
"Hehe~ Not only is your throat swollen, right? That place must be swollen too, right? You really have some guts to play so intensely on the first time!" Cao Mei winked at Bai Ru with a laugh, stood up, and said to her, "Let's just go out for a walk together. We've been cooped up in the house all day!"
"I'm going too, I'm going too! Thomas Xu told me there are shops here where you can exchange food for clothes and cosmetics. I want to see if there are any nice clothes; I want to exchange for a couple of pieces!" Bingbing hurriedly tossed aside the sunflower seeds in her hand and rushed out of the house with a few women, giggling and laughing.
Covering dozens of acres, the gathering place is neither too big nor too small. While it certainly lacks beautiful scenery, human creativity is still boundless. Finding joy in hardship has been a tradition for the American people for thousands of years. Therefore, despite the poor conditions, there are still several places for entertainment in the gathering area. Otherwise, with thousands of people gathered here and no recreational activities, even normal individuals would go crazy.
As soon as several women stepped out hand in hand, they encountered a grocery store. Inside, there were mostly everyday items that people brought back while searching for food outside. Those that they couldn't use themselves were either consigned or exchanged here. This grocery store was indeed a chaotic mix of goods, ranging from Durex to Apple phones, and the most abundant items were various kinds of adult DVDs, with ten discs for one or two meters. They could trade them for a laptop or a portable DVD player, and with a solar charger, they could take them home to enjoy at their leisure.
A few women walked around the grocery store and then came out. Although there were many items inside, there were basically no high-end or novel products, so it was difficult to attract the interest of these wealthy women who were well-off and carried large amounts of cash.
Women walked eagerly along the asphalt road, discovering that the most common sight here was the various outdoor gambling stalls. Groups of shirtless men were either under awnings or in shaded areas, with bags of rice and various foods placed at their feet, gathered around a square table, red-faced and necks thick, tossing cards or dice.
It's no wonder that people say Americans have thick, dark red blood that carries the highest gambling factor in the world. Even in the current situation, they still don't forget about gambling. Some men, having lost all their food, directly pull their women over and discuss whether they can count them as gambling stakes in broad daylight. It seems that those women are also used to this, and several of them even help those gamblers raise their own value.
The activities in the gambling den naturally wouldn't make Bai Ru and the other women linger. After glancing around briefly, they walked straight into a clothing store. This store was different from the grocery shops they had encountered earlier; not only was the storefront simply decorated, but the clothes, shoes, and socks inside were clearly of a high standard. Some of the brands were even considered top-notch luxury items before the apocalypse.
"Welcome, ladies! Feel free to look around!"
As soon as Bai Ru and the others entered the store, a girl in a professional outfit came up to greet them. The girl was very beautiful, with a well-proportioned figure. Bai Ru recognized her at a glance as a former car model who had gained fame through scandals. However, her demeanor now was as humble as could be, completely devoid of the arrogance and flamboyance of her past. When Cao Mei wanted to try on a pair of shoes, the girl even knelt down to help her take off and put on the shoes. This made Bai Ru sigh inwardly, lamenting how fate plays tricks on people!
"Is this store yours?" Cao Mei asked as she sat in a chair, returning the high heels she had just tried on to the girl kneeling on the floor. The girl smiled, shook her head, and said, "You must be one of the new customers from yesterday, right? I don't have the fortune to own a store. Just being able to work here and make ends meet is already a blessing. This is Sister Luo Yudie's store!"
"Then who buys the things here? Do you rely on internal consumption?" Bai Ru asked as she picked up a Burberry dress and looked at the girl.
"There are so many mistresses and second wives here, and beautiful women are piled up like mountains. Besides eating and drinking, they always need clothes and shoes. The more effort they put in on the bed, the more men will come to pay for them. Plus, the prettier they dress, the more they will be favored!" The girl smiled, took the dress from Bai Ru, and handed it back to her after taking it off the hanger.
"Well, you're not ugly either. Why don't you find a man to support you?" Cao Mei asked, having changed into another pair of shoes, smiling at the girl.
"Uh…" The girl suddenly became awkward, hesitating as she glanced at Cao Mei and said softly, "I used to have someone supporting me, but my man was being hunted down, so… I ended up with someone else. It was he who arranged for me to come here!"
"Your man was being hunted down? Who was it?" Bing Bing, who was holding a set of lingerie and gesturing with it, turned her head curiously, as Thomas Xu had also been hunted down before.
"It's… it's Thomas Xu, Brother Xu!" The girl said, lowering her head and speaking in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
"Ah? So you are with Thomas Xu?" Bingbing immediately looked at the girl in shock, rushed forward a few steps, and carefully examined her from head to toe. Then she sneered and said, "No wonder you were stammering; you know Thomas Xu is back, right? You know him, don't you?"
"Well! I... I saw him this morning, but he ignored me!" The girl bit her lip and nodded, then looked at Bingbing with a pleading expression and said, "Sisters, could you talk to Brother Xu for me? I followed Brother Biao out of necessity; he left in such a hurry that I finished the food he left in just a few days, and even Guangdan and the others want to take advantage of me. I... I still want to be with him!"
"Did you get your face done?" Bingbing didn't answer the girl's words but disdainfully lifted the girl's chin with her finger and mocked, "You do look decent, and your chest padding is quite big. You really are the type that Thomas Xu likes, but do you think with my man's capabilities, he would want a woman like you who can't even keep her pants on?"
"Huh? You... you're also Brother Xu's woman?" The girl looked at Bingbing in shock, feeling as if the sky had fallen. She couldn't believe she had sought help from Thomas Xu's woman; it would be strange if the other party accepted her.
This woman had switched to Biao the day after Thomas Xu ran away. After playing with her for a few days, Biao found it uninteresting and sent her here. Although she didn't have to worry about food and drink here, who would want to do the work of serving others? Especially having to serve a group of arrogant women was even more unbearable. There's no comfort in just trying to please one man, so when Thomas Xu returned with the convoy yesterday, she regretted it so much that her insides turned green.
"So, how about it? I'm not worse looking than you, right? And I haven't had a single knife touch my body; everything is original from my parents!" Bingbing proudly raised her hands and twirled in front of the girl, then suddenly turned cold, pointing at several pairs of shoes on the shelf and said, "Go get those shoes for me. I want to try them on one by one, and you'll serve me on your knees!"
"Oh~ where did this nouveau riche come from? Buying a pair of shoes can be so imposing!"
Just as the girl was preparing to get the shoes with a grim expression, a sarcastic woman's voice came from outside. A woman wearing sunglasses and dressed in luxurious attire walked in, flanked by several beautiful women. The moment the girl saw her, she felt as if she had found a savior and rushed to her, bowing and saying, "Sister Yan, you're here! The pair of shoes you specified, Luo Jie's person just went out to find them for you. Do you want to try them on?"
"Hmm, as long as you found them!" The woman called Sister Yan nodded modestly, taking off her sunglasses to reveal a haughty expression. She disdainfully glanced at Bingbing and turned to the girl, saying, "I say, you too, this place is run by Luo Yudie. Working for her is to uphold her face, so how can you allow some random people to run wild here? Moreover, when dealing with dogs, you have to look at the owner. If someone dares to bully you, wouldn't you report your owner's name? Do you have to let some country bumpkin ride on your neck before you realize how embarrassing it is?"
"Can you speak properly? Stop beating around the bush. You're an old woman whose makeup must weigh half a pound, right? What are you so proud of? You're the real country old woman!" Bingbing was not one to back down. Seeing Sister Yan's harsh words, she immediately fought back, and even Jiao Jiao joined in, hands on her hips, cursing at the woman until she looked like she was about to explode.
But while cursing was fine, the woman called Sister Yan clearly had a deep background in the gathering place. Just as she was fuming from Bingbing and the others' insults, three or four burly men rushed in from outside. Seeing that Bingbing and the others were unfamiliar faces, they didn't care whether they were women or not and rolled up their sleeves, ready to come up and fight.
"Bang..."
A scorching bullet easily flipped a piece of pavement on the ground, and the flying debris left a bloody, gaping wound on the face of the man at the front. Several men were horrified and came to a halt, staring in shock at the woman firing the gun in front of them. None of them expected that this seemingly celestial beauty would be so ruthless with a gun!
"Yan Yan, it's been a while since we last met, and your temper seems to have flared up!" Bai Ru steadily aimed her black handgun at the men. Her posture and aura were not far from what Jack had taught her, but her eyes remained fixed on Yan Jie, revealing a hint of disdainful mockery.
"You... you are Bai Ruyu?" Yan Yan looked at Bai Ru in shock, almost incredulously saying, "How are you still alive?"
"Nonsense, why wouldn't I be alive?" Bai Ru raised an eyebrow, looking at Yan Yan with amusement and said, "Following William Hu has indeed made you quite arrogant!"
"I..." Yan Yan was momentarily speechless, then impatiently waved her hand at the few men who wanted to approach but dared not, saying, "Get out, all of you, useless pieces of shit!"
