Chapter 93 - 83 She is my fiancee_2
He dared not meet the boss’s eyes and could only stiffen his scalp and walk up to the food to make his selection.
Wang Tao wasn’t interested in the food, his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and he began to look around.
Wang Tao could clearly feel that there were many signs of battle here. There was also some black blood; he wondered if it belonged to zombies. Moreover, there was a strange smell that even the scent of disinfectant couldn’t completely suppress.
At this end of the hall, there were several hollow display cabinets, which should have contained decorative items, but now were cluttered with various things-like toilet paper, screwdrivers, and tattered clothes. The toilet paper was even stained with black blood, which Wang Tao found distasteful.
Cao Xin, seeing that Wang Tao was somewhat interested in these small items, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Then, taking advantage of Wang Tao’s distraction, he kicked Seventh Brother Yang hard in the butt and gave him a fierce glare, as if to say, “Just scrounge up anything, do you actually have to pick out the best bag for him?”
Seventh Brother Yang looked aggrieved: The one who got beaten just now wasn’t you…
Wang Tao was just looking around casually. He came up here for two reasons: one was to see what this person really wanted to do and whether he intended to harm him. The other was to see if any of these people were worth recruiting to the Survivor Base to earn Contribution Points.
But after this brief interaction, Wang Tao had already ruled out both options.
None of these people seemed to be truthful, and they didn’t look like good folks. Wang Tao couldn’t possibly take them back to the base.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Wang Tao felt a small metal plate on the shelf, with a series of six digits on it, somewhat familiar to him.
“Mr. Chen! I’ve selected it for you!”
The trembling voice of Seventh Brother Yang came from the corner.
Wang Tao turned his head, and Cao Xin, who had been glaring at Seventh
Brother Yang, immediately put on a smiling face.
“Mr. Chen, this is a little something from me, please accept it!”
Wang Tao looked at the bag of neatly packaged 10kg rice, didn’t hesitate to accept it, and then headed straight for the exit.
“Alright, then I won’t disturb you any further.”
Seeing that Wang Tao was about to leave, Cao Xin totally relaxed.
“We’ll meet again if fate allows it, Mr. Chen!”
Wang Tao glanced back at him, said nothing, and went straight downstairs.
It wasn’t until Wang Tao left the mall and stepped into the rain that Cao Xin and the others seemed to relax completely, breathing a sigh of relief.
“Phew—”
“This guy puts too much pressure on me! I dare not even breathe when he’s standing there!”
“You’re telling me, I didn’t dare meet his gaze…”
The three underlings whispered to each other.
-What’s there to be scared of just because he’s a bit taller? A bunch of useless things!”
Cao Xin cursed angrily.
The underlings immediately stopped talking, but Seventh Brother Yang really wanted to say, your attitude wasn’t like this just now, boss.
“Forget it, since the guy’s been sent away, let’s not bother with him anymore. Damn it, go get one of our merchandise up here! I need to let off some steam, I was almost scared to death—hurry up!
The three underlings quickly went towards the door next to the staircase secured with rusted iron chains and unlocked the door with a key.
Clang clatter—
The iron door made a grating noise, with darkness lurking within.
One of the underlings entered with a flashlight, followed by the other two.
“Mmmhmm—”
From inside the warehouse, a humming noise suddenly emerged, followed by the sight of a naked woman with numerous wounds all over her body, bound with iron chains, her mouth sealed with tape, and her face numb as she was dragged out.
“Boss, another one’s dead…”
One of the underlings said, somewhat frantically.
“Damn, really useless!” Cao Xin uttered darkly, then scolded the underlings, “Hurry up!”
The underlings quickly took the two women to where they stored the food. Seeing the food, a flicker of emotion appeared in the women’s eyes.
One of the underlings secured the iron chains on the woman’s limbs to the ground, then placed a small bowl of white flour in front of her. Immediately seeing the food, the woman got down on the floor like a dog and began to lick it with her tongue.
Cao Xin unbuckled his belt, walked behind the woman with a cruel look on his face, and then instructed the underlings:
“Bring me a few wooden sticks with barbs!
In the heavy rain, Wang Tao turned to take a long, hard look at the third floor of the mall.
Then he returned to his car.
“There’s something wrong with these people…”
Wang Tao pondered over everything that had happened upstairs. Clearly, these people were hiding something from him. Initially, Wang Tao thought it was the food, but then he realized it might not be the case.
Wang Tao took out a metal plate from his pocket with six digits on it. He had found it in Cao Xin’s place and taken it without much thought.
It wasn’t that Wang Tao liked taking others’ belongings, but he had seen this object before. Apart from the different numbers, it was identical to Han Rui’s badge in terms of color and size. It was a badge!
Wang Tao didn’t know if Cao Xin had found it or… Regardless of the possibility, Cao Xin might have a gun!
Even though Wang Tao was powerful, he never thought he was bulletproof; bullets were still a significant threat to him.
Of course, if he could take them by surprise, Wang Tao felt that he could subdue them instantly with a Shockwave. But there was another important reason: Cao Xin had mentioned a zombie that had been here before, three to four meters tall!
Seeing the Destruction caused by this zombie, Wang Tao believed he was no match for it. If the gunfire attracted that zombie, he would be in trouble..
