The doomsday came so suddenly that most people were caught by surprise. Some of them had been killed by zombies before they realized it. For those who escaped, life was also difficult. In addition to the everyday threat of being killed, lack of food was also a big problem. It was a luxury to have a bag of instant noodles for each meal. Fresh dishes or meat were impossible even in dreams.

Knowing that Xing Feng owned superfunction, Yun Che skipped the formalities. He asked him to take out a lot of foods and ingredients besides the pork. Yun Yao cooked a large pot of twice-cooked pork. Also, there was stir-fried potato shreds, tomato and egg soup, and spicy tofu, all of which filled the whole room with delicious aroma. In time of the doomsday, this was an extremely luxurious meal.

The other group of people in the room couldn't help looking at them and swallowing saliva, especially the two women cowering in the corner, wearing wags. There were longing, pleading, struggling and hesitating in their eyes. They were desperate for food.

“Fuck.”

There was a rude low curse from the crowd. A man grumpily threw away half of the instant noodles in his hands. He glared at Yun Che and others who were eating with great relish. Then he stepped forward and grabbed one woman's arms impudently.

"Ah...No, don't... "

Like dragging a dead dog, the man grabbed her arm and dragged her to the back of the house. The woman cried and refused, her voice trembling. She pleadingly glared at Yun Che and his companions now and then, but she didn't ask for help. She merely made gestures of pleading.

"Fuck you bitch...fuck you..."

"Ah ah..."

After a while, there was a man's roar and a woman's blood-curdling scream in the back of the house, accompanied by the slap of one body against the other. Zhou Zeyu and others stopped eating and frowned. They had got used to all sorts of cruelties in the last ten days, for which they gradually gave up their silly kindness and would not meddle in others’ affairs. However, when rape was committed before their eyes, their newly-established indifference still wavered, especially the two women Yunyao and Zhan Yafei.

“Why don’t you eat?”

Yun Che seemed to be unmoved. His chopsticks never stopped. So were Xing Feng and his partners. They were like cold-blooded animals.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

“Brother Che...”

Zhou Zeyu and others looked at him, with a clear demand in their eyes. Yunche stopped picking up the food and then dropped the chopsticks. He fished out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it: “From the moment we met them, did they ask for help?”

Enveloped in smoke, the expression in his eyes could not be seen, but the words he said was very clear. Zhou Zeyu and others couldn't help but be seized with terror, and then they got frustrated. Yun Che was right. The two women hadn’t asked for help all along. At first, they might be afraid that Yun Che could not defeat the other side.

However, when Yun Che defeated them and Xing Feng appeared, the two women still remained silent. Why? Either they were playacting with the rapers and aimed to stir up trouble once Yun Che saved them, or they were pretending to be victims and those who saved them would be harassed.

No matter the reason was the former or the latter. It was certain that their sympathy for them was silly.

"Go to bed early after eating. I will keep watch till midnight."

Yun Che stood up with a cigarette in his mouth. He didn't even have a glance at the people on the opposite side.

"Even if they did ask for help, saving them will only bring trouble upon yourself, unless you are powerful enough. Besides, watch carefully whether they really need your help."

Xing Feng looked at Yun Che's bowl, he didn’t eat much. Then Xing Feng looked at his receding figure. Yun Che was the backbone of this group of people, who hadn’t realized that kindness was the most dangerous thing in such a situation, Xing Feng concluded and stood up.

“Brother, don't blame our boss for his being straightforward. You are too innocent. This kind of thing can be found everywhere now. There are too many to stop them. Let me tell you the truth: it can't be avoided even in the security base. If a woman cannot get strong herself, she can only sell her body for survival. Look at the two women. They are miserable, but at least they are still alive. They are alive because they have compromised. They dare not ask for help because they are not sure whether it will be better to stay with you. After all, there are two women among you, and they are more spirited and beautiful than them. And their entreaties are always towards us, just because we are all men and we have needs.”

When Yun Che and Xing Feng both left, Xing Feng’s right-hand man named Yang Huaien sighed. He also thought highly of Yun Che, and he knew that Xing Feng wanted Yun Che to join them. That was the reason why Yang Huaien would explain so much to them. Everything had changed. The worldly experience before the doomsday wouldn’t work anymore. For only ten days, they had seen too many good people losing their lives. In order to live, human nature would be more horrible than they could imagine.

Hearing this, Zhou Zeyu and others were too ashamed to lift their heads. The only one unmoved was Leng Yehan, who had remained unmoved all along. Nothing could move him except things or people related to Yun Cheng. One might blame him for being cold-hearted or even inhuman, but one should also admit that only people like Yun Cheng could survive in time of the doomsday.
