Haozi led Li Nan towards the building behind them, passing through a few rough iron fences before arriving at a small building.
Haozi smiled and said, "This used to be a gymnasium, but later we took it over. The high wall and iron gate outside, I don’t know who expanded them originally, but they serve us well, allowing us to have this safe haven!"
Li Nan observed his surroundings. He had only heard of this gymnasium in Dadong District before and had never been here. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he noticed that the gymnasium was not very standard. Not to mention the wall and iron gate, even the buildings inside seemed off; it was likely that the construction was done haphazardly.
The gymnasium had a semi-spherical shape, probably housing a basketball court or something similar. Next to it were several small buildings that seemed to be for exhibitions, but now they had been repurposed by this group as temporary living quarters.
Haozi led Li Nan into one of the small buildings and directly into a room with a double bed and a large living area. While it wasn't luxurious, it felt quite upscale.
Li Nan looked around the room and remarked, "This isn't too good, is it?"
Haozi chuckled bitterly and replied, "For someone as capable as Brother Nan, it should be like this! It should be like this!"
Just then, a girl walked in behind Haozi. She was young and carrying a teapot, presumably freshly brewed.
Li Nan waved his hand and said, "You don't need to do that."
Haozi gestured to the girl, saying, "Hurry up and pour tea for Brother Nan!" Then he turned to Sister Nan and explained, "Sister-in-law, please don't mind me. I meant no harm; I just thought Brother Nan might want some tea after his journey. This girl is here to serve him. Please don’t misunderstand; I have no ulterior motives!"
Mo Xiaohui glanced at the girl holding the teapot. She looked quite young, probably around ten years old, with an innocent expression on her face. However, she was quite pretty.
Li Nan continued to wave his hand and said, "Just leave the teapot; there's no need for this young lady. I can drink tea by myself without needing someone to serve me!"
Haozi maintained a smile and said, "Then Brother Nan can rest for a bit; Brother Long will come by soon!"
"Okay!" Li Nan replied in agreement as he took the teapot from the girl’s hands and closed the door firmly behind him.
With a loud click, the door shut tight. Haozi remained unfazed and turned to the young girl saying, "You really don’t understand things!"
The girl Vino muttered a few words before bowing her head in silence as if she had done something terribly wrong, showing no signs of displeasure.
Haozi chuckled wryly and said, "Forget it! It's not like rabbits don’t eat grass; there will be other opportunities!"
Haozi went downstairs with the young girl while behind the door, Li Nan listened intently but found no crucial information!
As the door closed, Mo Xiaohui asked Li Nan, "What exactly do you want to do? This place is nothing but a den of bandits. Is there any good for us staying here?"
Li Nan shushed her, and when the sounds from outside faded away, he said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I've already made all the arrangements. It's too dangerous outside; not only are there Zombies, but also those mutated monsters. I'm considering your safety. Besides, this camp isn't lacking food for now; we're just taking shelter temporarily and won't be here for long!"
Mo Xiaohui still felt uneasy. "Those Zombies were deliberately lured here by you, weren't they?"
Li Nan nodded. "If I don't create some trouble for them, how can I show my capabilities? There's a saying that those with skills will be treated differently. The most important thing is that I don't just want to be seen differently; I'm also eyeing their territory, food, and weapons. However, they have the advantage in numbers, so I need to employ some clever tactics!"
Mo Xiaohui didn't quite understand Li Nan's meaning at first, but after a moment of realization, she exclaimed, "That Zhang Hai, was he also part of your plan from the beginning?"
Li Nan sat on the sofa in the living room and replied calmly, "He won't be alive much longer. From the moment I wanted to use his blood to attract Zombies, he was already doomed. In the end, he just died at the hands of the Rat and Mighty Bull!"
At that moment, Mo Xiaohui remembered that Li Nan had put her parrot into his backpack to attract the Zombies.
She opened Li Nan's backpack that he had thrown on the floor and was relieved to find that the parrot was still lively; otherwise, she would have been really angry.
Li Nan smiled wryly and said, "This parrot can alert us to Zombies; that's a good thing. But good things can sometimes turn bad. To prevent Brother Hai from getting suspicious, I had no choice but to..."
Mo Xiaohui pretended to be angry. "Now that things are going your way, what are your plans next?"
"Take it as it comes; anyway, we don't have to worry about food!"
Just as Li Nan was speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by a pleasant female voice saying, "Nan Ge! I'm here to bring you food!"
Li Nan gestured for Mo Xiaohui to open the door. The woman delivering the food was the same one who had brought tea earlier.
The young girl carefully held a tray with three bowls of rice and a pot of stewed chicken.
"Rat Brother said that since Nan Ge has had a tough time earlier, he should eat something first!"
Having gone hungry all day long, Li Nan and the others saw the food being offered and had no reason to refuse. He immediately said, "Great! Just put it down here!"
In the living room was a small dining table where the girl placed the food but showed no intention of leaving. Li Nan was surprised and said, "You can go now!"
The girl stood behind Li Nan, motionless, and after a long while, she weakly said, "Rat Brother has already given me to Brother Nan, so from now on, I am yours."
Li Nan did not understand what the girl meant and asked in return, "What did the rat say?"
The girl repeated, "Rat Brother has given me to Brother Nan, so from now on, my life and death are in Brother Nan's hands!"
Li Nan's mouth dropped open. "I can't be hearing this right. What era is this? You're bringing me this old-fashioned nonsense. Have you lost your mind?"
The girl trembled and immediately knelt on the ground, her face pale as she said, "It's my fault; I have offended Brother Nan. I accept my punishment and beg Brother Nan not to be angry!"
Li Nan had been eating when he suddenly spat out his food, hitting the girl squarely in the face.
The girl kneeling on the ground showed no sign of anger; she simply closed her eyes and lowered her head, not daring to say a word.
Seeing this, Li Nan was furious and shouted, "Get up!"
The girl hesitated slightly but did not dare disobey Li Nan's command and quickly stood up.
Li Nan looked at the girl; she was young and had a pretty face. Although she still had a hint of childishness, she could be considered a beauty!
However, her unremarkable appearance seemed to ignite Li Nan's anger even more.
"Is this a feudal society? You're a grown girl; why learn such humble nonsense? Do you think I'm an emperor? Acting like you can't fight back or speak up is just pathetic!"
Mo Xiaohui and Li Dapeng hadn't eaten for over a day and were too preoccupied with their own hunger to care about the girl's situation. While Li Nan was losing his temper, Mo Xiaohui finally sensed something was off and stopped Li Nan, saying, "I’ve never seen you so angry before. Why are you getting upset with a little girl?"
Li Nan was fuming. "I'm about to explode! What life and death? This is ridiculous!"
At that moment, the girl who had stood up could no longer hold back her tears, which fell down her cheeks like raindrops. She muttered to herself, "It's my fault; I've displeased Brother Nan; it's my sin!"
Hearing this, Li Nan's head spun as he shouted, "Stop with that! Just get out of here! I don't want to see your pathetic face!"
The girl remained still, while Mo Xiaohui felt a surge of sympathy and said to her, "You should go out for now; just wait until his anger cools down."
But the girl still did not move, and now Mo Xiaohui hesitated. Could it be that this girl was scared silly by Li Nan?
With tears streaming down her face, the girl pleaded, "Nan Ge, please, don't kick me out! Rat Brother said that if you don't take me in, he will kill me... I don't want to die!"
Li Nan was taken aback. "What do you mean? Does that Rat dare to take a life?"
Wiping her tears with both hands, the girl weakly replied, "Women in this camp are treated worse than pigs and dogs. Men call us when they want, and we have to come. I am just an object; Rat Brother gave me to you. If you don't want me, Rat Brother will surely think I am not trying hard enough and will definitely kill me to warn others!"
Li Nan was speechless, unable to respond for a long time. Has the world really become this way? Men are respected for their strength while women have been reduced to inferior sexual tools and commodities. Has society regressed to such an extent?
Li Nan shook his head and nodded, thinking to himself: "It seems this is the case. With the apocalypse upon us, zombies and mutated creatures roam freely, and humanity is dwindling. Survival has become a serious issue, and because of their inherent physical disadvantages, women can only beg for mercy in front of men!"
Although Li Nan did not agree with this class distinction, he had to admit that perhaps it was precisely for this reason that this camp had survived until now!
He looked at the tearful girl again and said, "Alright! Stop crying! Since that's the case, you can stay here for now! By the way, what is your name?"
Hearing Li Nan's command, the girl immediately stopped crying and replied, "My name is Xin Qiqi, and I am eighteen years old!"
