Chapter 14: Anyone Dare to Object?

Following the plan, Liu Yang successfully brought back the homeowner, Chen Dan.

In the past, Security Captain Zhang Zhenfeng often said, "I’m a security guard, working just to finish work; I love eating Little Bear biscuits and I like the homeowner, Xiao Dan..."

But now, those Little Bear biscuits were out of reach for him—he had been shot in the head, his mouth hanging on a tree.

And homeowner Xiao Dan was now in Liu Yang’s custody.

“Your wife, I will take care of; you need not worry.”

Arriving at Liu Yang’s dormitory, fear was etched across Chen Dan’s face.

Having witnessed three men before her be shot in the head, Chen Dan still hadn’t recovered from the shock.

Inside the villa, Tang Mengting, He Yushi, and Su Xiao—the three women who had arrived earlier—each wore different expressions upon seeing Liu Yang return with another female survivor.

Especially the famous actress Su Xiao, whose face immediately twisted into a look of disdain.

The other two had come before her, so she felt no control over them.

After all, she was the third to arrive.

But what was the meaning of this fourth?

She immediately voiced her displeasure to Liu Yang. “I thought you went searching for food, but instead you bring back another woman? Is your mind filled only with women? There are already three women here, each a peerless beauty. Isn’t that enough for you to vent on? Are you some kind of teddy bear? Food is already scarce, and you bring back another mouth to feed. Do you want us to starve?”

As a star, her pride and confidence made it unbearable for her to accept that Liu Yang had spent a night with her just last evening, and now he brought another woman back, as if she hadn’t satisfied him at all!

Could a great star like herself not satisfy him?

Thus, she could not help but speak directly to Liu Yang.

Tang Mengting frowned and added, “Exactly, exactly. You already have the three of us, yet you go bring back another woman! What are you trying to do? Think about nothing but that all day? Men really do think with their lower halves! You can’t even find food for us, and on top of that you bring someone else back to share it—won’t that starve us faster?”

They had already been upset that Liu Yang returned empty-handed, and now with another woman to share their limited food, they were even more displeased.

One more person meant one more mouth to feed, meaning less food for each.

Food was already scarce; having another eater would only worsen the shortage.

He Yushi listened coldly to their tone directed at Liu Yang.

It seemed these two still didn’t understand the reality of their situation.

If they left Liu Yang, death was inevitable.

But Liu Yang could easily replace them with another woman.

To him, these women were utterly dispensable.

Yet, despite being dispensable, they had not made their place clear, daring to speak to Liu Yang in such a manner.

Both their intellect and emotional intelligence were severely lacking.

A faint look of satisfaction appeared on He Yushi’s face.

If all the women around Liu Yang were such fools, she was certain she could thrive and even win his exclusive favor!

As expected, just as He Yushi imagined, Liu Yang frowned at Su Xiao and Tang Mengting’s words, his cold gaze sweeping across their faces.

Then—

“Smack!”

“Smack!”

He struck them each across the face.

Amid their shocked and fearful eyes, Liu Yang spoke coldly:

“Who gave you the right to speak to me like that? Do you really think crawling into my bed makes you the mistress here? Giving you food is my kindness, not a privilege for you to arrogantly rely upon! Have a problem with me? Fine, leave now—I won’t stop you!”

Seeing Liu Yang’s icy glare, Tang Mengting and Su Xiao finally realized their mistake.

Yes, they had mistakenly believed that sleeping with Liu Yang made them the mistresses of this place.

That notion was utterly wrong.

They were nothing but burdens clinging to Liu Yang’s leg to survive.

Their only use to him was as outlets for desire.

Aside from that, they were just freeloaders—no help at all.

In other words, Liu Yang would suffer little loss if he lost them and could easily find new women.

But without Liu Yang’s protection, they would soon starve… or be devoured by zombies.

Upon realizing this, Tang Mengting glanced at He Yushi.

Among the three, only He Yushi had not been slapped.

At that moment, an unmistakable trace of concealed pride appeared on He Yushi’s face.

Seeing that expression, Tang Mengting immediately understood.

It had to be this campus belle.

In both appearance and intelligence, she completely outclassed the others.

Liu Yang also noticed He Yushi and asked her, “Why don’t you say something?”

“I?” He Yushi was surprised, pointing at herself, then flashed a sweet, cunning smile. “I’m free tonight!”

“Oh? I brought back a new woman, and you have no complaints?” Liu Yang asked curiously.

“What complaints could I have? This safe villa is yours, the food is yours, everything here belongs to you. Isn’t it your freedom to bring back whoever you want?” He Yushi answered matter-of-factly.

She never saw herself as Liu Yang’s girlfriend, nor did she think she could monopolize him.

In the apocalypse, there was no room for romance.

Everything was a transaction of interests.

These women were merely Liu Yang’s accessories; they shouldn’t dream of being mistresses.

He Yushi was very smart and had long understood this.

Hearing her answer, even Liu Yang was a bit surprised. He said to her:

“You truly are a clever campus belle.”

“Clever? So clever, yet you still tricked me. Hmph!” He Yushi pouted, displeased.

“Hahaha. That means I’m even smarter than you!” Liu Yang laughed, patting the campus belle’s head.

Indeed, conversing with an intelligent person was a joy to both mind and soul.

Among the three women, He Yushi was far ahead in both intellect and emotional intelligence.

Only then did Liu Yang turn to the newly returned homeowner, Chen Dan, and say:

“Don’t be so afraid. I won’t harm you. You haven’t wronged me. I killed those three security guards only because they tried to kill me. I will protect your safety and provide you with food. All you need to do is submit to me and be my woman.”

“No… no problem! I will obey you! Whatever you ask, I will do it! Just don’t kill me!” Chen Dan quickly replied.
