Stuck at the door, Fatty noticed Li Nan's fierce demeanor and felt something was off. When he heard Li Nan's loud shout, he immediately understood the implication.
Fatty didn't move but slightly parted his lips, "Are you saying Wen Jing is suspicious?"
Before Li Nan could respond, Wen Jing, who was standing behind Fatty, began to mumble, "What’s happening? What are you two talking about?"
In Li Nan's view, Wen Jing seemed to be holding something in her hand hidden behind Fatty. At that moment, if she wasn't a threat to Fatty, what could she be?
Li Nan brandished the Black Gold Blade and charged forward, raising the blade with the intent to slash down at Ling Kong. Fatty had already received the hint and immediately rolled out of the way while drawing a semi-automatic pistol from his waist, aiming it directly at Wen Jing's position.
A knife and a gun were both aimed at Wen Jing. Seeing this scene, Wen Jing widened her eyes in surprise, completely unaware of their intentions!
As Li Nan drew his blade, he saw that what Wen Jing held in her hand was not a weapon but a rice ball. The indistinct thing in her mouth was merely food!
At that moment, Li Nan's expression changed dramatically; the blade that was originally aimed at Wen Jing's vital points suddenly halted!
Wen Jing's eyes widened in shock as she swallowed hard, forcing the food down her throat. Her body instinctively leaned back as she opened her mouth and said, "Are you going to kill me?"
Li Nan pressed the Black Gold Blade against his arm and shouted, "You should know your own situation. Who exactly is Vincent to you?"
Wen Jing raised her hands defensively, but at this critical moment, it seemed ineffective. If Li Nan hadn't suddenly pulled back just now, Wen Jing would have likely lost her head!
Seeing that Wen Jing remained silent, Li Nan sternly declared, "Although I, Li Nan, do not kill women, if you have any schemes or tricks up your sleeve, I will have no choice but to strike hard!"
Hearing Li Nan's words, Wen Jing chuckled softly. "You should be able to guess—one is named Wen Jing and the other Vincent. Who could believe there’s no connection between them? So you guessed right; that Vincent is my older brother—same father and mother!"
Li Nan clicked his tongue, "Since you are siblings, then this is all an act, right? You infiltrated me for your brother! Tell me, what scheme do you and Vincent have?"
Wen Jing's face twisted into a grotesque smile. "Just because you think we are siblings, does that mean I would be in league with him? No! The mistakes he made, I will never forgive. He is a murderer, a monster; I will never align myself with him!"
Seeing this sudden turn of events, Li Nan was somewhat surprised and immediately asked, "What do you mean?"
Wen Jing looked up, her youthful eyes revealing a hatred that was completely at odds with her appearance. "He is a demon! When the Zombie outbreak first began, my parents, Xiao Mi, Vincent, and I were trapped in a small room. Outside, Zombies roamed while we had no food or water. We managed to hold out for a week until everyone was on the brink of starvation and dehydration. Then, hiding in the corner, Vincent suddenly lit up with a strange glow in his eyes and actually choked Xiao Mi to death right next to me before devouring her flesh and drinking her blood!"
Wen Jing shouted in a near hysterical voice, "Xiao Mi was my boyfriend! Just like that, he was swallowed whole by Vincent. Unfortunately, I didn't have the strength to stop it... After another week in that small room, Vincent's glowing eyes turned toward me. It was my parents who pulled him away from me by force. In my panic, I stopped fearing the Zombies outside and charged out instead. Luckily, the security captain saved me. When I finally regained my senses, I remembered to ask him to take me back to that small room. But it was too late; my parents had already turned into a pool of blood and shattered bones! And there sat Vincent with a smile on his face—tell me, isn't he a devil?"
After hearing all this, Li Nan began to understand the situation better and realized he had misunderstood Wen Jing. However, he hadn't expected this seemingly ordinary girl to actually have a boyfriend!
Tears streamed down Wen Jing's face as she continued, "Do you think someone like that could ever be my ally?"
Li Nan shook his head. Meanwhile, Fatty had already put away his gun and seemed to listen like someone engrossed in a story, gritting his teeth at the actions of the demon Vincent.
Wen Jing choked back her sobs and continued speaking: "At that time, I told the security captain that we needed to kill Vincent, but he wouldn't listen. He thought he could reform him and ended up taking him in. In the end, it led to disastrous consequences! Not only did Vincent kill the security captain to take his place, but he also spread his demonic heart among everyone else. They had food available to survive but became obsessed with eating their companions' flesh and drinking their blood!
After the security captain saved Vincent, I left with two other women and we hid in a cave. Later on, when Vincent seized power and tried to target us, we had one or two confrontations. The bloodstain you saw in the Bordello was left during that time! As you can see now, I'm the only one left; all my other companions were eaten by that demon Vincent! No! There’s also one corpse submerged in the hot spring; they wanted to use it to lure me out..."
Li Nan was left speechless; such tragedy existed in this world while that Vincent was truly despicable!
However, Wen Jing's account explained everything that happened at Peach Blossom Hot Spring Villa perfectly; all the clues fit together seamlessly. The female corpse Li Nan had sent people to retrieve from the hot spring was one of Wen Jing's companions—Vincent's method of drawing her out had been thwarted today by Li Nan himself. Now that everything was clear, how could Li Nan allow Vincent to remain alive?
Tears had fallen, and Wen Jing rubbed her eyes, saying, "Now you can believe me, right?"
Li Nan hid the Black Gold Blade behind him and awkwardly smiled, "Now that everything is clear, it was just my wild imagination. I apologize to Miss Wen Jing for my assumptions!"
Li Nan cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, resembling a stubborn old scholar, as an apology for his abruptness towards Wen Jing.
Wen Jing had already relaxed her tense posture and generously said, "Alright, I forgive you!"
Li Nan stood up and gritted his teeth, saying, "I will not let Vincent go unpunished. Such a demon deserves to be dealt with!"
Fatty chimed in, "Now that Brother Nan is like Song Gongming from Water Margin Liangshan, we are the heroes gathered around him, dedicated to carrying out justice!"
Li Nan chuckled and retorted, "Even the heroes of Liangshan in the past viewed human life as worthless. We are different from them!"
Fatty nodded in agreement, while Wen Jing hesitated and asked, "Are you really their leader?"
Li Nan spread his hands, "Is there anything to doubt about that?"
Wen Jing looked slightly surprised. "I've never seen a leader like you. It seems your camp's life must be quite free-spirited!"
After the apocalypse, humanity's survival issues were indeed quite awkward; less than one percent of people had survived. The various problems they faced were all extremely challenging. To survive, many people began to lose their way like Vincent, while there were not many like Li Nan who seemed to be living well on the surface.
Li Nan sighed bitterly, "Dictatorship cannot adapt to life after the apocalypse. Although I am nominally their leader, when it comes down to it, we are all brothers—brothers united by our shared struggles!"
"Wen Jing" responded, "Your philosophical insights and political skills are truly refreshing!"
"Li Nan" waved his hand, "Let's not talk about that. Can you forgive me?"
"Wen Jing" nodded slightly, seemingly unconcerned about the previous misunderstanding, while "Li Nan" laughed heartily, "Don't be fooled by this girl's youth; she is quite reasonable. Truly, youth is invincible!"
"Wen Jing" took the rice ball that she had tucked into her chest pocket earlier and stuffed it directly into her mouth, mumbling, "I'm not that picky. If I have something to eat in my mouth, how can I argue with you, Brother Nan?"
The way she called him "Brother Nan" showcased the invincibility of a young girl who had yet to fully mature. However, upon closer inspection, "Li Nan" estimated that "Wen Jing" was not that young; she was just a late bloomer!
"Li Nan" asked, "Are you full? If you're full, we need to think about serious matters!"
"What serious matters?" "Wen Jing" inquired.
With a gesture, "Li Nan" replied, "Ride the winds and break the waves, and strike at the heart of the enemy!"
Upon hearing this, "Fatty" asked, "Brother Nan, do you have a plan?"
"Wen Jing" rolled her eyes and stopped munching for a moment before saying, "I'm full!"
"Li Nan" smiled and said, "Let's head downstairs to find Zhao Si!"
On the first floor, there were personnel guarding the entrances and exits, and in the corridor, the Bald Man and Mighty Bull each pulled up a chair, half-closing their eyes as they leaned back to sit.
After a few minutes, Mighty Bull suddenly opened his eyes and went to switch with another brother.
Zhao Si stood awkwardly between the Bald Man and Mighty Bull, suddenly realizing that Mighty Bull was awake. He hunched over, ready to greet him, but to his surprise, he was completely ignored!
The brother who came to replace him found a clean spot in the corridor and sat down to rest.
Zhao Si's eyes darted around and noticed that both men in the corridor were drowsy, each holding a Submachine Gun. Especially the Bald Man, who not only had a Submachine Gun in his arms but also had a handgun tucked into his lower back.
Upon seeing the guns, Zhao Si's eyes lit up as if he had spotted a stunning beauty trying to charm him; he couldn't help but drool!
With food in his mouth, he felt no fear; with a gun in hand, he stood tall. In this apocalyptic world, food and guns were undoubtedly guarantees of survival quality. At that moment, Zhao Si was blinded by the allure of food and firearms. Seeing no one around, he immediately reached out with his bony hand toward the Bald Man's embrace!
Just as Zhao Si was about to make his move, heavy footsteps suddenly echoed from upstairs. The Bald Man across from him abruptly opened his eyes wide and glared at Zhao Si!
At that moment, Zhao Si stumbled and fell to the ground, pleading, "Uh, uh, I wasn't trying to steal a gun! I wasn't trying to rob!"
