184: Beast in human skin

Tian Ming’s mind stirred, and the shackles binding the three women’s ankles vanished.

The three women were stunned, especially Chen Yue, who couldn't believe this was the same down-and-out young man.

But being rescued in this situation, Chen Yue felt like she wanted to die.

The other two women, however, were filled with hatred; they ran directly to the kitchen, grabbed kitchen knives, and rushed in front of Zhang Yi.

“What do you want to do? What do you want to do? Don’t forget, I’m the one who kept you alive until now; you can’t repay kindness with enmity!”

Zhang Yi screamed in terror; no matter how much he screamed, he couldn't move.

“You scum, you deserve to die!” one of the two women roared fiercely at Zhang Yi.

“Help! Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!” Zhang Yi cried out in fear.

The two women, as if insane, hacked at Zhang Yi until he was a bloody mess before they stopped.

The days they had been imprisoned were their nightmare.

The woman tremblingly dropped the knife in her hand and squatted on the ground, crying loudly.

Chen Yue was also sobbing uncontrollably at this point.

This Zhang Yi was a good friend of her father’s, and she was the only one in her family with antibodies.

After the Apocalypse broke out, she was the first to be taken in by Zhang Yi.

But who would have thought that this elder was just a beast in human skin?

Tian Ming looked at the three crying people and was filled with emotion.

In this world, the most terrifying thing is the human heart.

“You are safe now.

I have a Shelter, and I can take you away from here.

Sister Yue, let’s go!”

The two women looked at the sobbing Chen Yue, lowered their heads, and said nothing.

They knew that their rescue was entirely because Chen Yue knew this Ability User.

Tian Ming stepped forward, but Chen Yue retreated a few steps and said, “Don’t touch me, Tian Ming, I’m already dirty.”

Actually, ever since her dad fired Tian Ming, she had even argued with her father.

Although Tian Ming was an employee, he was very hardworking back then, and their relationship was still good.

They would chat together during leisure time at the restaurant.

Chen Yue also knew about Tian Ming’s background.

“Let’s go, Sister Yue,” Tian Ming said softly.

Chen Yue was one of the very few people who didn't look down on him when he was down and out.

Chen Yue was silent for a moment, then finally nodded.

“You two, come along too.”

Tian Ming saw that all these women were barefoot and their clothes were very thin, so he directly reassembled three sets of the Shelter's cold-weather gear and three pairs of cotton shoes.

After they vented, their emotions gradually stabilized.

Tian Ming led them out of the room, and Zhang Yi’s room was instantly doused with gasoline.

With a whoosh, the entire room burst into a raging fire.

“Say goodbye to the past.

Let the past vanish with this fire,” Tian Ming said, then slammed the door shut with a bang.

The three women were silent.

Tian Ming led them to the hallway, preparing to go upstairs.

Chen Yue asked with some confusion, “Tian Ming, isn’t it this way?”

Tian Ming smiled calmly and said, “Let’s go to the rooftop, it’s faster.”

The three quickly arrived at the rooftop.

Tian Ming stood at the edge, looking at the sea of fire below, was silent for a moment, and said, “Let’s go.”

A carbon fiber carriage appeared before the three women.

Tian Ming said to Chen Yue, “Get in, I’ll take you to my Shelter!”

“Have you become a god?”

The abilities Tian Ming displayed had already surpassed Chen Yue’s understanding.

The big boy from back then had now become a god-like existence.

“No, I can just manipulate some microscopic particles.

Get in the car, I have more important things to do, I’ll take you to the Shelter first.”

The three nodded, asked no more questions, and entered the carriage one after another.

Tian Ming waved his hand, making the carriage float beside him, and he quickly flew back to his Shelter with the entire carriage.

The Shelter was filled with building materials.

It was already late, and Tian Ming landed in the square in front of the Central Building.

Tian Ming touched his earphone and said, “Ji Ruping, come to the central square.”

“Understood, Boss!”

Chen Yue and the other two girls were very restrained.

Seeing such a large Shelter, they simply couldn’t believe it.

“Tian Ming, did you build this?” Chen Yue asked.

Tian Ming smiled and said, “Sister Yue, I didn’t build all of it, but anyway, this place is mine.”

At this moment, Ji Ruping came running over, looking at the three women standing beside Tian Ming with some confusion.

She slowly stepped forward and respectfully called out, “Boss, who are these three?”

The three women were greatly shocked, especially Chen Yue.

She had called Tian Ming by his name, but this woman, who was clearly in charge, called Tian Ming “Boss.”

“Sister Yue, Chen Yue, and her two companions, please settle them in.

Don’t neglect them,” Tian Ming said calmly.

“Understood, Boss,” Ji Ruping replied respectfully.

Tian Ming continued, “Sister Yue used to take great care of me.

Arrange a light job for her in the Shelter!”

“Understood, Boss,” Ji Ruping nodded in response.

Since the Boss personally instructed her, Ji Ruping naturally couldn't be negligent.

Even if it didn’t quite conform to the Shelter’s rules, as a subordinate, she dared not say anything.

Tian Ming didn’t say much more and turned to Chen Yue, saying, “Sister Yue, you can settle down here!”

Chen Yue nodded slightly, thanking Tian Ming.

Ji Ruping spoke up, “Boss, are you not staying in the Shelter for a while?”

“Hmm… I’ve handed the people over to you.

If anything happens, contact me by radio, but only if the Shelter is threatened.

For other miscellaneous matters, resolve them yourselves.

Anyway, there are no problems with supplies anymore.”

After Tian Ming finished speaking, without waiting for Ji Ruping’s reply, he slowly ascended into the air and flew directly towards the city.

As these four watched Tian Ming disappear, Chen Yue’s heart was extremely complex.

Ji Ruping politely said to Chen Yue, “Please follow me.

First, we’ll register your information, then input it into the system, and then you’ll receive your ID cards and the Shelter admission handbook.”

Chen Yue and the other two girls followed Ji Ruping to the Shelter’s registration office, where there was a complete registration system.

With Ji Ruping’s help, the three quickly completed their information registration and gained permission to enter the Shelter.

Chen Yue looked at the ID card and admission handbook in her hand, her feelings somewhat complex.

“Alright, now you are members of our Shelter,” Ji Ruping said with a smile.

“There are strict rules here, but as long as you follow them, you can live peacefully here.”

Chen Yue nodded.

Here, at least, she didn't have to worry about the threat of zombies.

“Sister Ruping, Tian Ming, he…”

“He, ah, he is our Boss, and also the leader of this Shelter.

The reason we can survive in the Apocalypse is because of him.”

Chen Yue’s expression became a little lost.

She asked no more questions, just sighed softly.
