Chapter 12: What a Beast! Unlock the Advanced Card! (Please keep reading)

Lu Zheng urgently needed to unlock new Infinite Supply Cards to obtain water or find a way to break through his current predicament.

Naturally, he wouldn't refuse a wife who offered herself.

However, one thing needed to be confirmed to properly handle any potential situations that might arise.

He immediately asked,

“Editor Bai, with your conditions, I can certainly protect you.”

“But does your husband know about this?”

Bai Zhihui bit her lip lightly, lowered her head, and replied,

“He sent me.”

“To make me come over, he beat me up.”

“He told me to bring the supplies back to him.”

“But I don't want to go back. I want to stay with you, can I?”

Hearing that her husband had forced his wife to come, Yu Zihan couldn't help but curse.

“What a beast! Not only does he beat his wife, but he also forces her to do such things. No wonder he can't have children!”

“Serves him right!”

Lu Zheng, however, didn't immediately believe her and continued,

“How can you prove that everything you're saying is true?”

Bai Zhihui unbuttoned her sleeves, revealing scars on both of her arms.

Then, she leaned close to the peephole, allowing Lu Zheng to examine the marks on her neck as well.

Seeing that the marks were indeed fresh wounds, Lu Zheng believed her somewhat.

However, she didn't have a phone, so he couldn't confirm if anyone was ambushing her behind her. He thought for a moment, tied a rope to the doorknob, and had Yu Zihan and Zheng Jingyi pull it together.

If someone suddenly rushed out, the three of them could quickly close the door together.

This was to prevent Lu Zheng from not having enough strength by himself.

The door opened, and Bai Zhihui was pulled into the room by Lu Zheng.

No surprises occurred.

He pressed her against the wall.

“Zihan, come search her.”

It wasn't that he didn't want to touch her; the process would be faster with two people cooperating.

“No problem, she has nothing on her.”

Yu Zihan searched her from top to bottom, even feeling under Bai Zhihui's skirt.

She really wanted to find something, so she could use it as an excuse to make Lu Zheng kick this woman out.

Unfortunately, Bai Zhihui truly brought nothing.

After being searched, even though it was by another woman, Bai Zhihui's face turned completely red.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at Lu Zheng.

She only had a slight impression of this neighbor, yet now she was actively offering herself, and there were other people present, which made her, being thin-skinned, feel extremely awkward.

She wished she could find a hole to crawl into immediately.

But the next moment, her nose twitched involuntarily, and her gaze fixed on the leftover roasted duck on the coffee table.

Steam was still rising from it!

Lu Zheng walked straight over and put his arm around Bai Zhihui's waist. Her body trembled, and she instinctively tried to break free.

But then, she heard the man next to her say,

“Are you hungry? Come, have some roasted duck first.”

She stopped struggling, thought about her situation, and allowed him to hold her as she sat down on the sofa.

Lu Zheng directly picked up a duck leg and offered it to her mouth.

Bai Zhihui had never even had such an intimate gesture with Shao Wenxuan.

Her face was flushed with shyness. She opened her mouth and took a bite.

The crispy aroma made her chew quickly, then she took the duck leg from Lu Zheng's hand.

Lu Zheng smiled and introduced,

“The one lying down is Zheng Jingyi, and the one sitting is Yu Zihan. Like you, they both came to seek refuge with me.”

“From now on, you all get along well, and I will ensure you have plenty to eat and drink.”

As he spoke, he casually took out four boxes of milk from a nearby box and distributed one to each person.

The water problem had not yet been solved.

But now, Zheng Jingyi and Bai Zhihui represented two Advanced Supply Cards, and two Advanced Cards should be able to break through the current predicament.

Therefore, he was in a good mood at this moment, quite relaxed.

Bai Zhihui wolfed down the roasted duck, took a sip of milk, and tears couldn't help but stream down her face.

Yu Zihan saw the twitching scars on her face and, recalling what she had just heard, said sympathetically,

“Sister Bai, don't worry. The four of us are together. Even if that guy comes down to look for you, we will protect you.”

“Thank you, thank you all.”

Bai Zhihui stopped eating and drinking, and said seriously.

“Shao Wenxuan sent me down to exchange for food. If I don't go back, he will definitely come down and cause trouble.”

“His home has no food or water left. For his mother, and for himself, he has gone mad.”

“I don't know what extreme things he will do.”

“I saw a fire axe in the hallway outside. I suggest we get it, just in case that guy goes crazy!”

She had originally had very bad expectations about being forced to seek refuge with Lu Zheng.

Even her husband, who had always treated her with respect and courtesy, had turned into such a beast, driven by pure savagery.

Why should she expect a neighbor, an outsider, to treat her kindly?

But as soon as she came in, she ate roasted duck, drank milk, and had sisters encouraging and supporting her.

This gave her, who had been thrown out, an instant sense of belonging and identity.

Out of instinct, she wanted to protect this feeling.

So she offered the suggestion.

Lu Zheng nodded upon hearing this. Although he had a boning knife, having an extra weapon and the opponent having one less weapon was an advantage.

Immediately, he had Yu Zihan and Bai Zhihui go out together to retrieve the fire axe.

After returning, Bai Zhihui continued to eat for a while.

“I'm full.”

She said contentedly.

After the apocalypse, she had never been full.

The food at home was mainly eaten by Shao Wenxuan and his mother.

She herself ate very little.

Now, at Lu Zheng's place, she could eat fragrant roasted duck, drink milk, and be completely full.

The huge difference was evident.

Lu Zheng didn't waste time and directly put his arm around her waist.

“Come, I'll help you clean up.”

Bai Zhihui's body immediately stiffened.

She wasn't stupid.

She immediately understood what was about to happen.

She immediately lowered her head, not daring to look at Lu Zheng and Yu Zihan.

Yu Zihan pouted and said,

“You two go ahead. We'll guard the door and won't let anyone in.”

The cleaning process was very short, as there wasn't much water, just a simple wipe.

It was the drying process that was a bit long.

Lu Zheng took Bai Zhihui to the bedroom to dry off.

【Ding! Successfully protected Bai Zhihui, obtained one Advanced Supply Card】

Bai Zhihui had a lot of water. After wiping for nearly two hours, Lu Zheng finally came out of the bedroom.

He was a bit tired.

But seeing the contents displayed on the Advanced Supply Card, he felt that his hard work was worth it.

【Item: Python Revolver (with bullets)】

【Type: Advanced Supply Card】

【Effect: Can obtain an unlimited number of Python Revolvers, each with six bullets】

Weapons, firearms, truly powerful weapons.

The Python Revolver, using Magnum caliber bullets, has high power and high penetration, capable of knocking down large beasts at close range.

Lu Zheng took a look and found that it had a six-inch barrel, which could achieve optimal accuracy and ballistic performance.

With its blued surface and polished finish, this thing was simply a work of art!
